Our Mission & Purpose

IN GREATER SERVICE TO UC DAVIS

The purpose of the Order, in the words of our founding faculty leader, is “greater service to the University of California, to develop higher ideals among student and alumni, and to develop a cornerstone for student thought, speech and action.” Other written documents describe the purpose of the Order “to provide a forum for discussing the University of California and its concerns, utilizing the best possible representation from the major constituencies of the campus: students, faculty, administration, staff and alumni. We do not attempt to address the world’s problems or political differences. Our concern is the betterment of the University of California and, more precisely, UC Davis.” Members meet throughout the year to discuss “For the Good of the Order” and “For the Good of the University.”
