The Court of Honor Recognizes Outstanding Exchangites The Court of Honor, formed by the three wings of the National Headquarters building, was established in 1957 to help pay tribute to the great men and women of Exchange. The majestic statue, "Birth of the Atomic Age," created by the renowned sculptor Marshall Fredericks, stands in a reflecting pool with fountains. Several large granite pylons at the rear of the Court display the inscribed names of inductees. The Court of Honor lay dormant for many years until being re-established and renovated in 1997. There are more than 60 names inscribed on the Court of Honor pylons, including Charles Berkey, the founder of Exchange; Dr. Edward R. North Jr., founder of the National Exchange Club Foundation for the Prevention of Child Abuse; Thomas L. Bailey, author of the Covenant of Service; and Herold M. Harter, who served as Exchange’s national secretary for 44 years.
A lasting tribute The highest and most lasting recognition an Exchangite can receive is to be forever honored by induction into the Court of Honor. Induction is by nomination and review only. Those nominees who meet the selection criteria and are supported by an induction contribution to the National Exchange Club Foundation will be invited to a future induction ceremony where their permanently inscribed names will be unveiled. The nomination deadline is June 1st. Inductees 1957 to present:
