The History of Who’s Who Among Students

In 1934, Pettus Randall was an undergraduate student at the University of Alabama, preparing to enter law school. He had been an outstanding student in all aspects of academic and campus activities and as a result had been tapped into various campus honor societies. Although Pettus Randall valued these honors bestowed by his alma mater, he was unable to accept them because membership dues and initiation fees would have increased his financial burden.

Pettus Randall then conceived of an honors program without dues or fees that would select and recognize outstanding students for their academic accomplishments and scholastic contributions. While still pursuing his studies, Pettus Randall created Who's Who Among Students In American Universities and Colleges, a distinguished biographical volume that honors the nation's most noteworthy students of higher learning.

In 1966 the first edition of Who's Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges was published. It continues to this day.
