Circle K

Circle K began as one man's dream to enable the success of local collegians and continued to grow as others began to believe in the concepts of Circle K and in the men who belonged to Circle K. Though Jay N. Emerson died on June 12, 1947, before he could his dream become a reality, his vision of a collegiate-level, international youth organization will live on forever.

Circle K's structure was established with the following objectives:

  • To provide an opportunity for capable, ambitious, and worthy young men to acquire a college education by assisting them, where necessary, with their financial problems; by means of a scholarship fund, if available, or securing part-time employment.
  • To afford members a useful training in the social graces and the development of a well-rounded personality.
  • To promote good fellowship and high scholarship within the group.
  • To develop in the members a thinking and aggressive citizenship and the Kiwanis spirit of service for the improvement of all human relationships on the campus, in the community, state, and nation.
  • To aid the growth and development of other Circle K Clubs.
