The society is named for the Reverend John Bachman, churchman and scholar and the main guiding force in the founding of Newberry College. Each year the Society inducts new members from the top eight percent of the Senior Class. This year twelve seniors have been named Bachman Honor Scholars. Along with their membership certificate, inductees into the Society will receive Scarlet and Gray honor cords to be worn at commencement, designating them as Bachman Honor Scholars.
