The purpose of the King Edward Society is to instill an awareness of Christian charity among its members and the student body. The society fosters several programs which enable its members and encourages all students to participate in helpful and beneficial work both on and off-campus. Such functions as the Senior Citizen Dance and food drives, downtown work projects and service to students on campus constitute a portion of the practical aims. The King Edward Society also tries to promote a further sense of unity and pride within the society and among the student body.
