A native of Bristol, Tenn., Latture first came to Washington and Lee in 1911 as an undergraduate. He earned his B.A. in 1915 and his M.A. the following year. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa as an undergraduate. In 1914, Latture and a classmate, J. Carl Fisher, conceived the idea of a campus leadership society. Their vision led to the founding of Omicron Delta Kappa, that now has chapters in more than 220 colleges and universities in the United States. Latture received ODK's Laurel Crown Circle Award--the society's highest honor in 1990. [From the Greensboro News and Record obituary]
