The committee to inspect record books, treasurer's books, and annual letters submitted the following report:

That chapter offices be not classified under honors.

Second, That, as the space is small , petty offices be omitted.

Third, That the latest address be given-not merely that at the time of initiation.

Fourth , That class degrees be given . Filth, That more exact dates of marriages and births be given.

492

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

That much which has heretofore been classified as "Honors" and 1I0ccupations" be put under "Remarks."

Seventh l That a neater appearance be striven for.

Through a misunderstanding of what was meant by "Record Book," the following chapters failed to bring theirs to convention: Columbia Alpha, Iowa Alpha, Iowa Gamma, Iowa Zeta, Illinois Zeta, Texas Alpha. The following brought neither record book nor report of it: Ohio Alpha, Indiana Beta, Illinois Delta, Missouri

A lpha, Wisconsin Alpha, Washington Alpha .

2. As to treasurer's books. A uniform treasurer's book is greatly needed . Each has her own system of bookkeeping. It is advisable that the name of the chapter appear on every book that it uses .

3. Concerning the annual letter a few specific recommendations !eelD. necessary:

First, That the annual letter be uniform with ARROW, as already ordered by Ind ianapol is Convention .

Second } That the names of married women be given in full j i. e. both the maiden name and the husband's name, for identification and address.

Third} That the date of initiation and the class be given. This can easily be done if tbe members are listed by classes.

Fourth, That some better method of publishing the letters be adopted . All the l etters should be sent to one publisher to print, the expense for this being borne by the r espective , chapters. Each chapter should have one lette r printed for each alumna of the chapter, one for each chapter, alumnae club, and officer of the fraternity. Each chapter should send its pamphlet to its own alumnae, and, of the remaining copies, one from each ehapter should be bound together in one volume for distribution to all chapters and officers. In this volume the text of the letters should come first , then the lists of members by chapters in alphabetical order, giving the news of the various colleges and chapters in compact form and making a yearly catalogue supplement. The fraternity should bear the expense of binding and distributing these volumes. This method is recommended by the committee.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS

REPORT OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

The Grand President takes pleasure in reporting progrUJ along certain line. siDce the last Convention, and that the new measu.res adopted in 1908 bue proved IQcccliful in practice as well as in theory.

The Twentieth Biennial Convention voted to continue the extension policy adopted by the 1<)06 Convention with the added cla use : "that Pi Beta Phi should not limit its chapters to colleges in the United States." A. a result of this international policy & charter was granted to the Theta Tau local c lub at the University of Toronto, an application from whi ch had been received before the last Convention assembled. After a ca reful investigation of the applicant. by Anna W Lytle, Beta Province President. and on her recommendation, the Ontario Alpha chapte r was instal1ed by the G ran d President December lIth. IC)08 with fifteen charter members. On the basis of the requirement. laid down in the Statutes applications from Drury College. Mo.; Brenan College, Ga.; the Bridgewater Normal School. Mus.; the Emerson School of Oratory, M ass .; the State Agricultural College at Manhattan, Kan.; and tentative requests from other institutions have been reCused without furthe r inves tigation. An application {rom the University of Kentucky was refused after investigation by the Grand President as she did not consider th at it would be an advan tage to Pi Beta Phi to enter that institution at present. 51. Lawrence University was investigated by Alpha Province President Anna Robinson-Nickerson, but the group failed to receive the necessary endorsements in Alpha Province. The University of Utah ha s just been visited by Delta Province President, who reports a strong group, but a certain percentage of the Mormon element among the applicants At the present time we have before us for consideration applications from Cornell University, Ithaca. N. Y.; the University of Wooster, Woo.ter, Ohio; the State University of Wyoming, Laramie; and the State University of Oklahoma at Norman, action on which is to be taken by Convention. A charter was granted to the petition\ng group at the University of Arkansas, after investigation by the Grand Treasurer, and the chap(er was installed by the Grand President December 29, 190<).

During the interim of Convention chapter visiting has been cond ucted by the Province Presidents. Beta Province has .uffered somewhat from lack of personal inspection due to a change in Province Presidents necessitated by the removal to and subsequent resignation of Anna Lytle. Thi. has been remedied, however, a. far as po.sible by her snccessor Mrs. Johnson, and the Provin ce is in fairly good condition Alpha Province also was without a President for some time, but since the appointment of Anna Robinson-Nickerson the work has been systematically looked after. The Grand President has had the privilege also of visiting a number of the chapters, and wu especially glad to visit those of Delta Province last year.

The undergrad u a te scholarship for the year was awarded to Mary Badger Wilson, Columbia Alpha, to be used at Barnard College. Feeling, however, that there was need of greater enthusiasm and competition in connection with the scholarships, and also conyjD ced that New York Beta was no longer in need of snch assi.tance, the following plan of awarding the scholarships was adopted by the Grand Council. One Graduate Fellowship, with a nlue of five hundred dollars. was offered for the year 1909-10, to be used at the university in this conn try or Europe offering the best work along the particular line detired by the applicant. The desired result followed immediatel,., competition was keen, and the same plan wu adopted for the year 1910-11. Imogen Cunningham, WashingtOD Alpha, being the s uccessful competitor for the year IC}09-19IO, and Sarah G. Pomeroy, Massachusetts Alpha, our Alumnae :&litor, for the year 191 0-1911

A recommendation concerning a loan-fund for under,raduate students, needing some mandai assistance, hal been received,

and will be presented by the Washington delegation. It is safe to lay th&t the establishment of these scholarships a.nd fellowships has brought Pi Beta Phi prominently before the facwties of the leading universities and colleees fOf the past two years at least, and bas directed attention to the fact that the fraternity is awake to the value of genuine scholarship.

Two Council Meeting. have been held. the first in New York during the Thank.giving rece•• of 1908 at which all members of the Council were present; the second in October 1909 from which the Grand Vice-President WIU absent owinr to illnc". During the first session the Coun cil met both tbe active chapter and alumnae club of New York, but the second was devoted entirel, to bUliness se •• ionl.

Inasmuch III the Constitution had been amended at both the Nineteenth and Twentieth Convention s without reprinting of the same, it was deemed advisable to reissue thi. as finally revised by the Grand Council in 1909 This has been done, and the matter of revision of the Catalogue is under discussion. The m tter of alumnae letters having been made constitutional, it remained only for the Council to decide a few points with reference to form, etc On the whole the regulation has worked well, only two chapters having been fined the full amount, $5.00, for failure to issue letters. but greater uniformity is desirable. A plan by which these letters can be edited, printed by Mr. Banta, the Anow printer, and issued as a supplement to the ARROW will be brought before Convention

During the year our first fraternity calendBr has been issued under the s upervision of Mi s Frye; a design for a coat-of-arm s has been prepared by Anna Pettit after a careful study of the laws of heraldry, and a number of symphonies have been presented. The scholarship committees have done good work in raising the standard of scholarship so that Pi Beta Phi now leads all other woman'. fraternitie. in scholarship by a fraction of one per cent., Theta being a close second. The requirement for twelve houn of regular college work of all initiates i nto Pi Beta Phi has worked weB. only one violation of his regulation having been reported

In the past two years and a half a number of our chapters have bought or erected house s, and from the financial standpoint the fraternity is prospering.

The Seventh Inter·Sorority Conference was attended by Anna W. Lytle, Beta Province President, who ac ted as Chairman of the Conference The Eighth was attended by the Grand President, a t which Conference a Committee of three was appointed to revise the model constitution and offer recommendations for By - Laws to be used by all local Pan Hellenics. This Constitution h as just heen returned after being voted upon by the Grand Presidents repre· sented in the Conferen ce with the result that most of the recommendations were lost by the vote of one or more fraternities, particularly the one concerning "no rushing before matriculation."

One of the most difficult tasks of the Grand President has been the settling of Pan-Hellenic controversies. The trouble seems to arise primarily from two causel :-suspicion of the motives of rivals, and inability of the local Pan-Hellenici to take the national point of view. and by lOme personal sacrifice at the beginning to work along broader lines toward a higher goal and the ultimate achievement of better things . The demand is for greater charity toward rivals. and a more generous spirit on the part of all fraternity members.

In closing this report let me call attention to the wide field offered for expanlion in the growing Itate universities of the South and Welt. We are the largest woman' s fraternity: there is need of internal improvement. and the tendency at this point is to devote our energie s to that alone, hut in 10 doinr we musl not nor can we afford to be left behind in the march of progress. When a Delta Gamma gives utterance to the following: uThe question of whether or not we shall expand is not a Question to be settled five yean from now or even next year it must be decided now! Shall we expand and 10 keep up with our contemporaries or shaU we rest on our laurels. cling to tradition,

preach conservatism and then wake up to find ourselves left behinCi 1" When Dr C. M. Moss, Psi Upsilon, in the Gamma Phi Beta C'UUrlt speak s as fol· lowl: uSo far as I can see the word conservatism is chieRy a confession that the machinery of the organiution is not capable of working beyond a certain little limit already reached . The country, and with it the college world, is growing with liuch bewildering swiftness th a t any organization that stands .till mu t seem like a railway train disappearing in the distance. It growl Ie and lell because the other fa.cts are enlarging." When Kappa Alpha Theta grant. three charters at the convention of 1909; when Delta Delta Delta es· tablishel two new chapters in Colorado and Oklahoma within a few weeks of each other; and Kappa Kappa Gamma entcn the University of Kentucky it behooves Pi Beta Phi to look to her laurel s as the oldest woman '. national fraternity, and to lihape her policy accordingly. To quote just one more sentence from the ARROW on Conservative Extension: "Let us see to it that our rivals can never say truthfully o( Pi Beta Phi that she has lapsed into a state of inertia and placid self·satisfaction with her present conditions, however good they may appear to us to be." The present is a time of tremendous possibilities for (he fraternity organiution, and Pi Beta Phi must rise to a full comprehension of her responsibilities if she i. to continue in the front rank of American College fraternities for women.

REPORT OF THE GRA 0 VICE-PRESIDENT

To P. Beta Phi

Your Grand Vice·President and Secretary for the Alumnae has the honor to present th e following report for your conside ration:

As Grand Vice-President , no special remarks need be made Suffice it to say, I have performed as well as r co uld. my co nstit utional duties as a member of the Council.

The body of my report, therefore, is concerned with the office of Seeretary for the Alumnae. The constitution says the Grand Vice-President shall ''bave full charge of the alumnae work," but one duty only is lIpecified-to prepare the mailing li st for THE ARROW. From these powers and duties of indefinite scope, there has developed an office which i. a burden as the work is now organiz.ed.

The subject can be covered best under the two heads : (I), The General Alumnae Department; (2), Alumnae Clubs.

I. The first official undertaking was the preparation of a card catalogue for the department. The former method "as adequate when the membership was small, but the time had come when it was imperative that a change be made. The catalogue has been an indispensable aid. In the case o( new subscribers. a duplicate card is made for the Auow Editor. Thi s year it was n ecessary to print about one thousand cards.

The use was begun also of uniform blanks (or report. from state and province secretaries. Here, again, the time had come when the increase in the number of names reported made a uniform system desirable. These are quite g-enerally used except in the reports that come from unofficial so urces.

A. Secretary for Foreign Countries, the result of my efforts is little more than the conclnsion that most o( the addresses in the present catalogue are now wrong.

Each snmmer I have prepared from the cud catalogue a typewritten Ii.t of the narnel, addresses. and dates of .ubscription to THE ARROW, of all mem· ben of the departmeot. This is mailed so that each secretary may consult it

REPORTS OF OFFICERS 503

before September. These lists are returned with s uc h corrections and addition. u the sec retari es are able to make. The Ji s t hu been mutually helpful.

The It_tute. provide that coin card sball be sent in September to all .lumnae Dot already subscribers to THE Auow It bu become customary for tbe G rand Vice·President to prepare yearly a bulletin o r circ ular letter, intended to reach every alamna, r eviewi ng the work of th e department and urging her support and interest. About {our thousand of these are di.lribated each fall and three thousand coin cards, the number being based on estimate. furnished by the secretaries.

Membership in the department is thus distributed : Life M ember • :J:JS Six· Instalment 9

Four -year

Two·year

One year

Duplicates

A few c riticisms are suggested:

I. The machinery of the department is t oo involved, as concerns member · s hip and Auow s ubscripti on s. In this respec t, the m o re direct the line of communication between the alumna and the head of the department, the better. J recommend simplification

z The lix instalment plan of obtai ning life membership leems too unprofit · able in accessions to the life li s t, and too confu si ng to secretary aDd alumna t o make its continuance worth while .

3 The chapter vice-president should perform her duties as secretary for the alumnae of her chapter. She should be responsible for the most accurate list obtainable, and thus when printed in the annual letter the li s t would be reliable for official use

• The depa rtment suffers fr o m the want of an accurate, up·to-date catal o gu e.

2. Alumnae Clubs.

Five new clubs have been organized: two have been revived after a period of inactivity and again granted charters; two have been dropped from the roll. Nine certificates have been granted, but they are secured so easily that I am not sure they have any special significance.

I have continued the custom of writing each spring a Founders' Day letter to the clubs

Our club. lead a ve ry untramm eled existence Their relation to the national organization i. a loose one. There is no inspection, no strict h olding to account Clubs are granted certificates upon the promised observance of a few simple requirements, upon failure to observe which the certificate shall be surrendered to the Grand Vice - President and held until the req uirement s are met. No offi · cial report is made on these points, and as stated, no inspection exists. How can thi s provision be enforced? As to the nature of its ac tivity, each club choos· es its own line acco rding to local conditions; the fraternity insists only that its aim and purpose shan be consistent with the interests of Pi Beta Phi. This is a liberal policy, and I should s uggest no change in this respect. The national organiz.ation would defeat its own ends. if i t were to insist u pon uniformity Alumnae membership must n o t be made a burden; restriction s and obligations which are right and proper in an active chaptn have no application to an alumnae c lub One who read s the annual report s in THE knows that the clubs are a. live and important feature of o ur fraternity, and often they are more ' active than its written reports would indicate But the clubs need more

THE ARROW - OF PI BETA PHI

attention than has been given them. There should be a closer relation between the club and the fraternity organization, and the matter should be eonsidered seriousl, at thi. time.

A few recommendatioDs prestnt themselves :

I. A. I &ID Dot a candidate for re-.electioD, I may suggest that the salary of the Grand Vice-President and Secretary for the Alumnae be raised to $100 per ycar. The dignity of the office demands it, though there ii, &Jld should be, DO attempt to pay members of the Council for services rendered.

:I. I should like to sec the office of Provin ce Secretary made worthy the best services of our best fraternity workers. Hitherto, the officers have been superior to the demands of the office. The fraternity needs this alumnae representation in Convention, hence there should be no Question of retaining the office

Every fraternity is studying how to develop and organize its alumnae constituents, and how best to relate them to the general fraternity life. What does it mtan for us? The importance of the Alumnae work must be recognized , first of all, and it must be given a dignity befitting its importance. Second, to exerci.e the powers that are ours, we alumnae must be intellig!:nt about fra.temity dairs and have a sympathetic understanding of the acti ve girl a.nd her problem s, that we may be wise and acceptable in our co unsel and action.

May I be permitted to express a word of appreciation for my colleagues , all of whom, I trust, may long continue members of the Grand Council. I have never known one of them to advocate an opinion or policy not based on true honor and the finest womanhood. In the hands of s uc h women, Pi Beta Phi, as a fraternity, is safe and will always command respect.

With thanks to them, to the Provin ce and state secretaries, and to all who have assisted me, this report is

Respect fully submitted,

CORA MAitLOW KERN'S.

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY

Routine work as designated in the constitution has been carried on; changes have been made in blanks, to meet the demands of the larger fraternity and requirements adopted in the last convention, 87 initiations for the half year January-June 1908, 316 initiations for the school year 1908-9 and 380 initiations during 1909- 10 have been re ported, making a total of 783 initiations since the last convention. The blanks for reporting initiations have been enlarged to include a statement o f the year in which an initiate expects to recei ve her degree and the degree which she will receive upon grad uation. One initiate, and only one, has been reported as not complying with the scbolarship conditions laid down by the last convention.

In 1909 the Constitution and By-Laws of the fraternity were revised by the Grand Council.

All reports required by the Constitution were received from correspouding secretaries for the years 1908-9 and 1<)09-10. Intimate reports of chapter successes and problems, heretofore sent only to province presidents, are now sent to members of the Grand Council and province presidents and are due May first. One chapter has not yet sent in thi s report for 11}O9- 10.

Fraternity s upplies were listed under the names of officers who have charge of them and li sts were sent to the variou s officers and chapters.

Reports of the delegates to convention have been swnmarited and the summary printed.

From the last convention nntil the Seventh N arional Pan-Hellenic Conference the Grand Secretary served as the conference representative of Pi Beta Phi, during that year, according to the regular rotation laid down by the confe rence, Pi Beta Phi representative was also secretary of the conference.

REPORT OF THE ARROW EDITOR

Your editor takes pleasure in submitting the following report: During the two years of her incumbe n cy the ci rculation of the Akltow has increased from :2,300 to 3Aoc>-a gain of 1,100 or an increase in two years of 6fty per cent Thus in two years the AILROW bas gained half as many subscribers as it had previously had during it. entire existence of twenty-four years. The total membership of Pi Beta Pbi is a trifle less than 6,000 Thus fully half of the fraternitY. members subsc ribe for the Anow This showl ng il excellent The lut number of the Ka;pa Al;Aa TAe/a stated that l ess than one third of its members subscribed to the fraternity journal. The lates t 6gurel available as to the Phi Kappa Psi SAjeld placed the circulation at 2,300. At that time the fraternity had a membership of 10,000. It is probable that the average relative circulation of fraternity journals is not bigher than this Iut figure.

In planning the issues of the ARROW your editor has tried to maintain a balance between active and alumnae interests. Each issue bas centred about some given topic. The active interests which have been considered are: H ow our chap ters are housed; How our girls have worked their way through college; Pi Phil in college and fraternity dramatics; heraldry. The regular July illuel have been &.I usual devoted to report s of chapters and alumnae clubs.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS

In the alumnae numbers the Anow hu dealt with professions aDd occ upations in which our alumnae were active, endeavoring Dot only to show what bu been done by oor members in these directioDs, but also to sd forth v&rioua fields of endeavor that lie open to the nndergyaduate. The alumnae numbers have dealt with Y. W. C. A. work, library work, and with the medical profeslioD. The prominence of the alumnae in the Anow is due to several ca uses SiDce more than lizty·six pe r cent. of our subscribers are alumnae. their interelt. natur&lly deserve consideration. Again, the alumnae havc done things worth writing about, tbings worth while to the world and to us, to know. The value of a fraternity maguine lies in its ability to attra.ct and maintain the interelt of the alumnae. This i. its real reason (or existence . The active chapten need too the help of their alumnae-in advice, in financial matters, and in gettin2' them out of trouble when the evil days come The strength of a fraternity is directly dependent upon the number of efficient people interested in it and the greatest means of keeping our alumnae in touch with the body of undergraduates is the fraternity magazine.

Again the Anow has been able to devote so much space to our alumnae becanle of the great opportunity fo r choice afforded by our large body of members. We have roughly 6,000 members. Hen ce we have an opportunity to choose for our AIUl.Ow contributors women of ability and attainment. Thi s we realize when we compare our membership with that of other fraternitie.. The total membership in Alpha Phi with 14 chap ters i. 2,074; Gamma Phi Beta with 13 ch a p ters has a tota l membership of 1.300; Delta Gamma has 2,OS:l members in her 19 chapters; Kappa Alpha Theta with her 3' cbapters has a total membership of 4,700. This of co urse i. not 81 great an oppo rtunity as Pi Beta Phi has, yet Kappa Alpha Theta believe. so strongly in h er maguine a. a factor in the fraternity's development that she is said to pay her editor $2:,000 a year for her combined services as edito r and general secretary Delta Delta Delta is urging life subscriptions on her members. The small conlenative fraternity with few chapters and few al umnae has nothing to write about, for few of their number have attained prominence. Besides the magazine cannot print much, for a sma ll fraternity is not financially able to get out a good maguine nor doe. a small fraternity have enough subscribers to read it even if published.

The purpose, the ideal, which th e ARROW has set before i t, has been to prove inspirational to the undergraduate and of interest to the alumna. It seeks to d raw both way. for there is nothing more inspiring than the achie vement. of others.

The department of UWhat A Fraternity Girl Thinks" has improved. It frequent Qu otation in exchanges indicates the intere.t which other magazines take in thi s department in which Pi Beta Phi was a pioneer and which practically all others have since imitated.

The Beta. Theta. Pi q u oted entire, in the body of the maguine an article from the ARROW. The Ada.mas of Eta Upsilon Gamma and the Par chment of Sigma Iota Chi reprinted the same article. The Key of Kappa Kappa. Gamma and the Trident of Delta Delta Delta reprinted all but two paragraph. of th e a.rticle also. I do not know what was the matter with those two paragraphs. 1 .peak of this reprinting as it is rather an unusual compliment in the Greek world. One of the Delta Gamma alumnae clubs asked to buy copies of the ARROW with the naive explanation that the club wanted tbeir magazine to be like the Anow and want'ed to show the editor some copies.

The chapters have asked for more illustration. Thi. has been provided and certainly adds to the appearance of the publication.

The department of Alumnae Personals is at present the weakest feature in the Au.ow. You will realite how weak it is when [ tell you that fully one half of the personal. in each i ss ue the editor has collected from new spaper•. Each chapte r h .. among its alumnae th ose who keep in touch with their con·

REPORT OF THE ALUM 'AE EDITOR

Your Alumnae Editor has tried at all times to be of help to the editor in her plans for TilE ARROW. The work has consisted largely of correspondence. Three calls hllve heen issued to the Alumnae Clubs for th e annua l lette rs to THE ARROW required by the consti tution. In July 1908, 27 letters were pub· lished out of a possible 37. In July 1909. 31 le tters were published out of a possible 38 while the forthcoming number of Till Anow will co ntain letters from 34 of our 4' alumnae clubs. It is to be hoped that the number of delin· quents may be still further decreased next year and that the new alumnae editor may be able to present a letter from every alumnae cl ub in the issue for July 19 11 In connection with this branch of the w o rk about 150 letters have been written.

In December 1908, a letter was sent to all the active chapters asking for in· formation conce rn ing any of their members who had entered professional life. The response was not altogether gratifying for fourteen chap t ers had to be written to twi ce and the information recei ved was, i n many cases, incomplete. It did, however, se rve as a basis for securi ng further information abou t the various professions in which Pi Phi is rep resented.

Fifty l etters were required to Secure the data for the article entit l ed "Pi Beta Phi in Medicine" which appeared in THE ARROW for November 11)09. Fully twice that numbe r were sent to our nurses and lawyers in con nection with a.rticles which are t o be a feature of future numbers of the magazine

Another letter WAS sent to th e active ehapters in D ecembe r of 11)09 for the purpose of collecting information in regard to dramatics for the article which was published in January 1910

Estimating misce ll aneous correspondence, more than 475 letters have been written during the t erm of office In addition, several pages of miscellaneo u s copy have been prepared for THE ARROW.

The Alumnae Editor deeply appreciates the cordial interest and helpful spirit which she has generally met in her work. At the same time she would call attention to the fact that in more than one hundred cases s h e has been obliged to write twice and sometimes thrice for information which was only obtained under pressure. It w ou ld seem that a little more attention paid to buriness promptness and courtesy would lead to the greater efficiency of our organization.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE CATALOGUER

The Third Supplement to the 1<}06 Catalogue was issued with the July ARROW of 1909. This supplement differed from the preceding s u pp lement s in having a sepa rate li s t of changed addresses in addition to the geographical index.

The fo urth supp lement is at present in the hands of the printer. It seemed wise to the Grand President, the Editor and the Cataloguer to re duce the si:t:e of this supplement for two reaso ns . The issue of a new c atalogue within the comi ng yea r makes il unnece ssary to inc lu de all the data heret of() re published in a s u pp lement. Reducing th e s ize of the s uppl eme nt n at urally reduces the cos l of iss ue. The fourth s uppl ement therefore contains the Chapte r R o ll, Membership Li s t and Geographi c a l Index of new members on ly, a r eco rd of tran sfers inserted in alphabetical order in the Chap t er Roll, a record of marriages similarly inserted in the Membership List. An In Memoriam List and a Changed Addresses List have been o mitted .

The Cataloguer urgently requests the chapter secretaries to be more conscientious in collecting the data concerning new members and alumnll!:, and more prompt in sending these data to her I n many cases it is only through the active chapters that the Cataloguer can secure the material necessary to make a comp l et e and dcc ur ate ca tal ogue.

REPORT OF ALPHA PROV1:-1CE PRESIDENT

Jn s ubmitting this r eport of the work done in Alpha Province and of the existing conditions, it is a pleasure to s tate that the latter are particularly healthy. In generAl the chapters are Aouri shing, gaining steadily in strength, and sending o ut each year splendid types of womanly girls, well -rounded by their healthy and helpful chapte r life.

Every ch ap" liar been. vis i/ed once during the term of office: Vermont Beta, twice. Everywhere the girls were found to be very enthusiastic a nd loyal, and eager to hear the news of th eir sister chapters that had been visited in the province. Thi s interest would certai nly be increased by a province reunion, which would be of great benefit t o all the members. The province covers such

a large territory that visits of whole chapters or JOIDt the liuggestion of the Grand President a conscien tious a Province RenDioD in the spring of tc)oC) The plans (or this definitely postponed as it was not possible for a. s ufficient number of girls to attend to make it worth while; the chief reason for thi l being that the national convention was to be held within the province the very next year

Several informal calls were made on New York Beta, where the increase in chapter strength is very apparent. A second visit was made to Vermont Beta last fall, because the entering class was so very small for a college where three national fraternities-(Kappa Alpha Theta, Tri-Delta, and Pi Be ta Phi) were represented. As there were only twenty-two fre s hmen, it was found necessary to limit the number of invitations. It would see m that some suc h method would have to be the policy in the University of Vermont unlil the enrolment is in· creased considerably or one of the nationals drops out. It is scarcely safe to trult to the judgment of the girls, as there is too great a temptation to have the numbers large enough to make the financial end easier.

In Syracuse, to my mind, the chapter is much too large This year 's chapter had thirty-eight members, making it larger than any other fraternity at the co llege, although they all have large chapters. The ideal chapter life would be much more nearly posihle if there were fewer girls.

Pan · Hellellic conditions are fair In every college some one fraternity breaks the rules. but in the main all intend to minimize the evils as they see them.

In Middlebury Pi Beta Phi has no national rival, but this does not mean that she can keep first place without effort. for the town's people seem to think that Alpha Chi, es tabli shed first, is Middlebu r y' s protegee. This, with Verm ont Alpha's inherent enthusiasm gives her the necessary stimulus to keep up the chapter'•• trength.

At the University of Vermont the c hief trouble is the scarcity of girls and the .trength of the Theta s in town.

In Boston University, this co ming year Massac husetts Alpba in company with the other fraternities will try second semester pledging The sentiment of the faculty is again st an early pledge day.

In the University of Toronto fraternitie s are not on as firm a foundation as they are in the States. Owing to English conservatism such innovations are accepted slowly, but three good chapters of three of the leading nationals-Kappa Alpha Theta. Alpha Phi. and Pi Beta Phi, will soon prove their worth and make a place for themselves. This will certainly be true if the other two chapten are like Ontario Alpha, who deserves special mention fo r her eagerness to learn anything and everything Pi Phi. Every c rumb of information concern· ing customs, policies, etc. is eagerly gathered, .tored and m.de use of at the first opportunity

After giving sophomore pledge day two yeus' trial Penn sylvania Alpha and it. colleagues in Pan-Hellenic have decided it i. unsatisfactory To my mind this has been a test case for with three such splendid chapters as Kappa Kappa Gamma. Kappa Alpha Theta, and Pi Beta Phi have at Swarthmore, sophomore pledge day shoold have succeeded there if practical anywhere.

Pennsylvania Beta and Tn -Delta at Bucknell are re strained by the faculty from initiating before the last of the freshman year, and Pi Phi has found that an initiation in September insures a larger chapter than one in June. Since each fraternity here has but one rival. the rivalry is intense and the confidence and trult that Pan Helienic is supposed to breed are lacking

In Dickinson Pennsylvania Gamma has little or no trouble in winning the most de.irable girls. The daughters of nearly all the faculty belong to Pi Phi

In Syracuse where there are eleven national . and matric ulati on day is pledge day the ru shing i. especially .trenuous and expensive. Pan Hellenic has very little Itrength.

New York Beta has proved herself worthy after a very trying experience.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS

The facultY l ruling that pledge day should not come before the sp ring of the sophomore year struc k the chapter a hard blow. 1t was still in its infancy and two yean without initiates made a 10Dg hard struggle. An earlier pledge day is pouible now and Pan HeUenic conditions are somewh at improved.

In Syracuse, where competition among the eleven fraternities makes any office all honor, Pi Phi held one-third of the offices this year. Pennsylvania Al pha won three-fourths of the honorl.

In Jun e 1908 there were seven Phi Beta Kappas in the province, Massachusetts Alpha leading with five. In I<)oq there were nine. Massac husetts Alpha. and Pennsylvania Gamma tied with three each

In 1910 50 far six have been reported. Pennsylv.ania Gamma and Maryland Alpha each having two, the latter winning the only senior fellowship also. This yea r the Pi Phi fellowship came to Alpha Province.

The reports of the scholarship co mmitteu have been very satisfactory, and every dean's r epor t shows that Pi Phis have th e re spect and esteem of the faculties.

The membership in the provin ce has been :

REPORT OF BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT .

In submitting the following report of Beta Province it seems necessary to lay that the work during the interim since Ihe last Co nvention has been carried on under some diffi c ulti es. Mi ss Lytle had been elected to the office of province pre sident. In April, I C)08 she had visited two of the chapters. In June. 1909. at her request, I visited the Ind iana chapters. The following Dc ·

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

tcbet my appointment as president of Deta provin ce was made, because of Min Lytle'. resignation , due to her removal from W isconsin to Idaho.

The members of every chap ter felt a personal regret at Mi ss Lytle's re· meval from the province. In h e r going every chapter experienced a dttided 101. The benefit to the girls of personal acquaintance and co ntac t with such a strong and enthusiastic personality i not to be und eres timated.

These necessitated changes have re s ulted in my tardy contact with and knowledge of ou r chapters, and the wo rk has been morc or less difficult and unsatisfactory in consequen ce.

If there were time, I should like to discuss each c hapt er of Beta province by itaelf-in that eac h has, as it were, a personality of its own. Each is controlled more or less by local con ditions. For the m ost part, the membership o{ the chapters is drawn {rom girls in the vicinity o{ the colleges. This results in a distinct (local) type, particular id eas oCten prevailing in one chapter that are not to be round in any other.

But going {rom the parti c ular one considers general impressions, the attitude of the chapter toward {acuity and dean of women , college .scholarship and college spirit, prevailing Pan-Helleni c conditions and the chapter standard of charac ter, the chapter idea o{ truth and honor. Our conception o{ types is SO distinctly different-<:hapter and individual s tandards so varyingeven from year to year. One year it is the Huffy little maid sighing onr the clothes of the new pledge who develops into n ext year's exce llent st udent of strong personality, who in her turn may be hunting o ut the "i;rinds!'

Then balancing these-perhaps a state or two away, but sti ll a Pi Phicomes the Hashing, active, se lf- reli ant girl serene l y unnfraid f or her "popularity." No man on the campus walks there or el sew here with her and his cigar! That is not h er standard of propriety. When h e asks her about it she does n o t " 'ove cigar smoke." But this popular littl e outspoken lady will gain a dozen knight s to a wilting siste r's one . A girl's "popularity" depends upon what she her se lf is-no t what s h e says she is.

From what 1 have seen my belief is, that ou r girls must be ed uca ted to keener perception and penetration, 1\ de epe r knowledge of chara c ter values. This mayor may not be true of chapters other than those of Beta province. Much of this will come in time through experience-for our girls are many of them going to be asked to assume the res ponsibilities we, would p ut upon them But on the o ther hand, it is through these same girls other standards that fathers and mothers of o ther girls a re ob liged to meASure and approve or disapprove sororities

My visits i n the province h ave further convin ced me that Beta chapters s h o uld aim at greater simplicity and a more normal way of living. Many of the girls were overtaxed soc ially through the c hapter'. aim at popularity and socia l achievement. The result of a too socia l girl WBS in more instances than few, an ordinar y college st udent , where might have been 1m excellent one--a too careful observer of conventions and too careless guardian of her pe rsona l dignity.

One is impressed w ith what such a girl is losing in her college life in contrast with the genuine. fre sh, wholesome girls who have found their balance and know h ow to keep it.

Beta province chapters can do much for their girls by aiming more directly and persistently at the simple life And where would this more effectively felt than at the rushing seaso n from whi ch most of us emerge battered, exha u sted or prostrated-though withal-victorious!

In several chapters of o ur provin ce Pan·Hellenic conditions are sane and quite satisfac t o ry ; in two or three co mpetition is n ot particularly strong, and in lOme the rushing season is most difficult both to o ut side girls and to the chnp ter. St udie s are neglected, the minds of the girls a re distracted and

In concl usion I am h appy t'o report our chapters as standing high in {uulty estimate, most of them doing well in sc holarship and giving this maltcr emphasized attention, and working together for all girls in college and social activities in a democratic way

REPORT OF

PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Ooe ncw chapter, Arkansu Alpha, has been added to Gamma Province rol1 since the New Orleans Convention, making the present number of chapters twelve Of these, eleven are locllted in co-educational institutions, onc in !l woman', college-nine a r e state iostitutions and three are denominational. These colleges vary in size with an enro lm ent of 5.500 at Minnesota, 40000 at Nebraska-second l a rgest-to abo ut 450 at Newcomb and I owa \Vesleyan The l arges t chapter numbers 36. th e smallest 13. and 8 have a membership of more than 20.

There are thirteen national women's fraternities and five loc al o rganizations repruented in the province in co lleges where Pi Phi is located. Of the former, Kappa has seven chapters, Theta six, Chi Omega S. Delta Gamma and Tri-Dell'a four each and Alpha Phi three .

The total number of active members for the year ending June 1909 was 255; for the past year, 256; 11 8 invitations for membership were issued in 1909 and :It were refused. not more than three of these to anyone frate rnity In 1910, Jl9 invitations were issued and 17 were refu sed, 9 of these gOiDg to Kappa, 3 to Delta Gamma and 2 to Theta. Kappa Kappa Gamma is the strongest province rival. but this does not mean that she is liupcrio r to Pi Beta Phi, for in five chapters out of seven where both meet, Pi Phi is the leader, by far. Four invitatiODS were issued to persons coming (rom a college or town where a chap ter of Pi Phi is maintained. Three were taken with the permissio n of the chapte r s concerned and one without.

The scholarship o( all has been above the average. There have been no fai lures and the scholarship com mittees arc to be co mmended (or their canscie nnous, faithful work, but, considering the of ou r Province and chapte rs, the per cent. of Phi Beta Kappas has been far too sma ll. For the two years just ending there have been but nine elected to membership--three from Texas A, tw o (rom I owa Z and Missouri A, and one from Minnesota A, and Kansas A.

The chapters have taken the annual examinations as required, Iowa Gamma winn i ng the h ighest average both years and Missouri Beta a.nd I owa Alpha second best.

There arc Pan - Hellenic A ssocia tions in all colleges, with the exception of one. that being at Ames where Pi Phi i s the only national represented . Four chapters have pledge day d ur ing matriculation week, one six weeks after matriculation, three at the beginning of the second semester and three made no report on Pan-Hellenic decisions. At Ames. Kansas, Nebraska and Arkansas the faculty have liupervision ove r ru shing and st rict rules are obse rved in regard to ininanng before a ce rtain amount of c redit is made. Four chapters report ed that rushing rules had been broken by their rivals the past year. making rushing regulation almost an impossib ility.

Kansas Alpha is the only chapter in the Province owning its own b o use. seven live in rented houses, three have chapte r rooms, and one has neither house nor chapter room. From 8 to 19 girls live in th ese housel at a cost of from $21 to $26 a month per girl. The active c hapter due. vary from 50 ce nts to $2 a month. Outside the nanonal fee, c hapter initiatioD fees vary

from k to $20 a member and two have no chap ter initiation ta x The ex· pense. for ru shi ng in Gamma Province the pas t year have vari ed fr om $12 to about $150 pe r chapter and in severa l instances Pan·Hellenic h as taken a decisive stan d against extravagant and s tren uo us ru shing limiting the ex· pen.e and number o f parties th at may be given.

In 1909 seve n transfers were received into Gamma Provin ce and one was transferred fr om th e Pro vince . Thi s year three were recei ved and six were tran sfer r ed to other provinces.

It is a maUer of si nce r e regret that the chap ters of Gamma Province ha ve n ot received an official vi sit since la s t Conventi o n, for both th e ch a pters and Provi nce President hav e been greatly handi capped. Wheneve r a chapte r ha s a ske d f or a visiting delegate I have tried to sen d some one wh o m I thought would be both helpful and an inspi ra tio n to the girls. I o wa Beta asked for help la st fall during rushing wee k, 10 Mi ss Fitzgerald, a Nebraska Beta a lumna was sent. This sp ring it seemed ntcessary that ano th er delegate be sent and Mrs. Margaret Kyle Barber, a Pennsylvania Alpha al umn a, s ubsti· tuted for me. Both visits proved very h e lp f ul to the ch apte r

So, not hav i ng visited my chapte rs, it is impossible to tell yo u of their fa uhs We reali ze that we are not q uite perfec t, but we are s ore that girls of more energy, enthusiasm and loya lty to P i Be ta Phi and he r ideals, do not exist.

O ur western colleges are growing wo nderfully fas t , so we must keep pace with th em and grow too , and in o r der to do that, we mu s t wo rk mo re con· lCientio usly for our fraternity and colle ge. W e must have more Ph i Beta Kap pas , clas s and college h o nors. In some cases we want sma ller and beller chapters and more care shown in the c h oice of new members. The c ha pte r officers must be mo re prompt and thorough in the despat ch of all ch apte r d uties . f or th e wo rk of the vari ous departments of ou r frnternity is too often hindered by their th o ughtl essness, care lessness o r in difference. Mu ch of this may be avoided by a more fre q uent and thoughtful reading o f th e consti tu · tion Grenter ca re , too , mu s t be observed in c hoosing on ly capab le , reliable girls fo r chapter officers.

I think one o f the greatest needs of Gamma. Province is desirable ch ap ter homes , for th e h ou ses one can t ent are inadeq u a te to th e ne eds and si ze of th e c ha pter s, besides being very ex pens ive propositions. Th ose who li ve in rented h o uses are paying from $80 to $100 a month the yea r r o un d- far too much-and it seems as if thi s amo un t sh ould be applied on permanent h omes of their o wn . Many o f the chapters h ave sta rte d house funds. but as yet , these are too meagre to warrant building. I h ope the lime will not be far dista nt when Pi Beta Phi may h ave a building fund as many othe r frater· nities now have .

REPORT OF DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDE T

No new chapters have been taken into Della Provin ce since last convention, tho ugh two group s have been knocking for recognition and enco uragement, namely: Gamma Phi of the University of U tah and Alpha Omega of the University of Wyoming.

Delta Province President has visited but two chapters in the p rovince in the past two years, Colorado Alpha and Co lo r ado Beta. As the Grand Presi · dent visited all the chapters in the provi nce, a visit from the Provin ce Presi· dent was unnecessary. On the whole th e chapters seem to be in a good con· dition and from r epo rts ren d ered in April and Ma y, the members h ave been active in college affairs.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS

AU the chapters are in co-edacational in.tilutionl, three being in sta te and two in endowed universi ties-Leland Stanford University endowed by private means, and the University oC Denver being under the auspices of the Methodist Church

All the chapters maintain chapter houses except Colorado Beta, which Otm, • little bungalow where the meetings are held. California Alpba and Colorado Alpba are the only chapters which own their own h ouses. California Alpha'. bouse was built since l as t convention

Pan-Hellenic conditions, aside from a decidedly unsettled statc at Leland Stanford and at Berkeley, are fairly good. There are few faculty restriction.. In onc case the facuity rules that no men be at any of the rushing affairs; and also that no girl be initiated before the second semester. There i. & tendency to too elaborate rushing, which mak el the rushing a strain on nervel, Itrength and pocket-book Delta Provi n ce Pre siden t wishes that simplicity oC ru shing affairs could be established.

The matter oC chaperon is a difficult one, as it i s very hard to find lOme one to fill a1l the requirements. In one university the faculty is preparing a list oC eligible chaperonl for the coming year, hoping in this way to assist the girls in choosing a house mother, and any chaperon secured, not on the faculty Ji st must be approved of by the faculty. It is the aim of the Dean of Women of this university to invest the chaperon with some authority; for it is a sad fact that in some instances the house mother'1 suggestions are little heeded.

The number of students enrolled in Delta Province is 9403. an increase of 2456 sin ce last Convention. Of this number 37 pe r ce nt. are wom en .

From reports rendered April and May 1910, at the close of the college year there were 106 active members; 52 invitations were issued and eight were 101t.

At the time of the fraternity examination I Co r the year 1C)08-1909, there were 106 active members, all of whom took the examination, no one excused. For that year California Beta had the highest averagt--97. The provin ce average was 93.8.

At the time of the 11)09- 1910 fraternity examination there were 98 sc:tive members; 93 took the examination; of the remaining five, four were excused on account of illn ess ; the fifth c ut the examination, was unex cu sed and fined. California Alpha had the highest average-<)4. The province average was 88 .9.

The cos t of living is about $30 a month in the c hapter bouses; $18 in the dormitories and $30 elsewbere. The dues, rushing and mi scellaneous expensel , v&ry with the chapters, lome having much greater demands tban others. The initiation dues, minu s the national fee, vary from five to twenty dollars, three chapters having fifteen dollars.

Delta Province needs more copies of the History of Pi Phi and of the National Sketch; one copy for eac h chapte r is not enough.

The archives otherwise are in Cair condition California Alpha is lacking the following numbers of THE ARROW : Vol. 21, 3 and 4; Vol. 22-2; Vol. 24--2. If anyone has the extra AIlROws and wi shes to part with them, it will be considered a great favor if the California Alpha delegate is noti6ed.

The ICholarship committees report that the scholarship average is good. In one instance, bowever, the scholarship is not all that is desired, but an improvement i, noticed

Delta Provin ce has so few chapters and spread, over sucb a wide territory that the Provin ce President recommends establishing chapters in the State Universities in the province, where the applicants are desirable.
