NUMBER 2
When you have read a letter from a Pi Phi in some distant chapter, haven ' t you often wished that you knew something about her college home and student surroundings? When you have unexpectedly discovered that some woman of prominence is a Pi Phi, haven't you ever wondered about her chapter relations? Have you ever been curious concerning the honor roll in other chapters? All these little intimate family matters should interest us all and this series of short, personal articles about every active chapter should make us better acquainted .
In this issue we are introduced to the personal surroundings and interests of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. In the March issue we will learn of the other provinces . In these two issues , these articles will take the place of the regular section, What a Fraternity Girl Thinks. The statistics are not always complete and, in some cases, the figures given (especially in regard to alumme subscriptions to The Arrow) are approximate but in these cases, the estImates are conservative. For further information regarding these articles see page I SS.

which is revered by all for the splendid men it has produced, such as Sir John Gibson, Sir William Osler, and Mr. Faircl ough. It is the nucleus from which the others have sprung and it was founded in 1852.
A big expanse opens to the southeast of the main building on which rises the Parliament BuHdings, surrounded by Queens Park in all its beauty. The circle 1S contin ued by the University Library, where everything exists conducive to studying. Everyone co uld guess the use of the next structure by the delicious aroma which pervades its halls. If you guess the Medical Building , you will be right. From here a winding driveway, on which the Biological building stands, leads to the Women's resid ences, so the y are beautifully situated and near the scene of a c t·ion, The Engineering Building finishes the cycle of which we are all so proud. Nor t h of the main building is a quadrangle, which in tim c!t of peace is u sed as a prac t ice place for rugby, etc., but now is given ove r to soldiers drilling. Opposite the quadrangle the Hart Massey Gymnasium is in the co urse o f erection and we are all anxi ous to occupy it.

Then there are several new buildings, all of marble-'Vtarner Science Hall, the Chemistry Building, and our fine gymnasium where we have our dances and big receptions The new chapel, a typical New England church with a tall spire, is on the top of the hill behind the other buildings and it can be seen for miles around, and our Chimes are, oh so l ovely I Beside this is our new dormitory for men. It is of yellow brick trimmed with granHe, and will be well worth our pride and praise when it is finished. The women have a big hall on College Hill, and a wonderful view, and there is Batto11 Cottage, where we women eat, and Hil1side, a bungalow for freshmen. I have saved our library until last and oh, how I wish evcrv n <l> could see it, a sman marble building on the south side of the campus, not very imposing but so quiet and dignified, loved by all faculty, alumni, and students. But now we will leave the campus and come to Porter Athletic Field , with its bleachers and covered grandstand where in the loveliest natural surroundings we cheer the IIblue and white."

THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT, BURLINGTON, VERMONT
The University of Vermont was the first state university, according to the modern co n ception of th e term, to be established on this continent. An act of Legislature, in November, 1791 , provided for its founding. The college was built in Burlington, and its first class graduated in 1804 . It has always been of the type of New England classical oolleges, though it has added the functions of the modem university. It consists of four colleges, that of arts and sciences, of engineering, of agriculture, and of medicine. The university stands in first rank, the medical college being in Class A with Harvard Medical. Johns Hopkins, and McGill.
Women were admitted in 1871. The first two women 4n the country to be admitted to <I> B K graduated from the U niversity of Vennont in 1875.
The surroundings are o f great natural beauty and historic interest. From the "Old Mill Tower" a panorama of the lake and mountains can be seen. On the east the Green Mountains; on the west the Adirondacks and flour lovely Lake Champlain." Between the lake and the campus lies the city of Bw)ington, one of the most beautiful cities 1n America.
The first building of the University of Vermont was the "o riginal Old Mill" which was used as a fortress at the time of the invasion of Burgoyne. It burned in 1824 , and, as our song goes,
"Lafayette was called to build another, and He laid the C'orner stone one summer', day."
The present building is loved by all in spite o f its many disadvantages . Grassmount, the girls' donnitory, once the Governor Van Ness mansion, has many interesting stories connected with it. Visitors also admire the Billings Li brary, called by competent critics the masterpiece of the famous architect, Henry Richardson. The library is an inspiring place even to the freshmen, but to the seniors it is the place that in memory will be held dearest of all. The Medical College, Morrill Hall, the agricultural building, William s Science Hall, the '1useum, and the Engineering College buildings are all modern and well equipped.
We claim some prominent men and women as our graduates. Among them are James B. Angell, the eminent psychologist, and Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the New York Na tional Life Insurance Company.
The college furnishes means "f higher education for over six hundred students, and we are proud to note that the enrolJment is rapidly increasing every year.

BOSTON UNIVERSITV, BOSTON, MASS .
Boston University is a city college without . a campus in the ordinary sense of the word. But President Murlin reminds us frequently that the whole of Boston is our campus since our buildings are distributed al1 over the city.
The university was founded in 1869 by men with high religious ideals and it has grown remarkably sin ce that time. We have an enrollment of over 2,000 students; and our endowment amountE to $2,500,000. The Theological SCOOol, composed of students from al1 points of the compass, is situated on the slope of Beacon Hill. On the top of the hill beside the State House and the Court House is our Law School. The Medical School ;s located in the eastern part of the city and the students work at the Homeopathic Hospital. The Graduate School, the College of Business Administration, and the College of Liberal Arts are al1 in one building near Copley SqUaIe, the educational centre of the city.
This square is an inspiration to every observant passerby j on one side is the beautiful home of the Boston Public Lihrary; on the right is the magnificent Copley ·Plaza Hotel; the Old South and Trinity Churches are splendid examples of church architecture, and

It was not long befo.re Maxy accepted Jane' s wisdom and joined her friend. Arm in aIm, they l eft the chapter house and merrily skipped along the well-known walk toward the campus.
If 0 Mary," cried Jane, "you pretend that you are a stranger and I will show you our university." So, playiQg this role, they walked on over the campus while Jane pointed out all interesting buildings and explained that over 4,000 individuals opened Syracuse's book of Education , and that thirty·seven buildings and the University Farms were shown on its pages.

ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY , CANTON, N . Y.
With the coming of the present year, St . Lawrence University is to celebrate its sixtieth anniversary; sixty years filled with trials and doubts to be sure, but marked by that steady onward march that is the very spirit o f the song, "Against St. Lawrence Spirit." Situated in Canton, a small town near the St . Lawrence River, the college has the beautiful foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, in whose haunts are laid many of the well-known scenes from Eben Irving Bacheller 's book. Irving Bacheller graduated from St. Lawrence in 1882 and we are justly proud of him .
Although St. Lawrence University has always been rather small , it consists of foUr departments: viz., College of Letters and Science. Theological School, Law School, and State School of Agriculture. In all of these departments th ere are about 800 students.
St. Lawrence has many organizatiQns representing various phases of student activity. Lambda Chapter of B K was estal!lished here in 1899. The Thelomathesian is an organization of the whole student body, working for the good of the ' students. The men of the college are interested in the Press Association, which publishes a weekly paper called The Hill News and a monthly magazine called The Laurentian. The Good Government Club, to which the men belong, keeps up an intelligent interest in current events. The Woman's Forum fulfills the same purpose for womeD . The debating team often debates with representatives of other colleges. The Players' Club, a dramatic association , endeavors to produce at least one play each year. Through its meetings once a week, the Y. W. C. A. is able to keep up on topics of ;mportance, often listening to special speakers. Besides these, there are college fraternities . Three of the largest women's nationals and ODe local and three national men's fraternities are well established. The .nonfraternity girls hold regular meEitings and enjoy the pleasures of the regular fraternities. Surrounded by a spirit of companionship and loyalty we are all true Laurentians known by our colors, scarlet and brown.

GOUCHER COL LEGE, BALTIM O RE, Mo .
Perhaps it would be better to give "moving pictures" of Maryland Alpha's co ll ege home , than to paint it steadfastly, since Goucher is beginning t o make splurges almost over night. Just a few days ago , the very first edition of the G oucher Cul/ege Wltkly appeared , and there are rum ors that the entrance of the next freshman class will mean the ad op tion of another dormitory-necessarily consisting of 3converted three·.tory dwelling of Baltimore's proverbial "red·brick front with white marble trimmings,"
Twenty -eigh t years ago, when Go ucher was founded, its location was practically the northernmost limit of Baltimore City. It has not moved an 'inch, and yet, today, it is in the heart of a residential section which extends several miles beyond. The prejudice against the college because of its lack of campus is being greatly overcome, and the advantages of its c ity location more appreciatively realized . The buildings occupy corner.; of f o ur parallel streets . They include Goucher in which are the president'S, the dean's, and other offices, the bank, stationery room, Y. W . C. A. room, city girls' lun chroom, and most of the classrooms. * By m eans of a little wooden bridge, recently painted, it is co nnected with the chapel of the First Methodist Church, where we have ten minute exercises each morning . Bennett Hall , just opposite, contains two gymnasiums, the swimming pool, and bowling alleys Alongside of it are the tennis courts, and a young amphitheatre which has not yet been used Katharine Hooper Hall welcomes us to chemis try and physics "labs," basketball games , mathematics classes, and dramatics. These bUildings are of rough , g rey stone and are realIy very good looking. Alpheim contains the library, biology laboratories and-here again we are mom entarily expecting a u sorry" indication of the growth of the co llege; in order to provide more laboratory space, to be turned out of o ur "h appy homes"-th e fraternity rooms.

attraction lies within the rooms themselves, acco rding to the indi · vidual taste of the girls.
There are about five hundred students at Goucher, and everyone knows almost everyone else by sight, and a great many by name . Then, since there aTe practically as many organizations and offices here as at larger colleges, and fewer girls to fill them, everybody is "into something" at some tim e o r other, and the result is a very active student body . Among our alumnre we number Mrs. Jessie Wilson Sayre (daughter of President Wilson ), but as members of Maryland A, we are proudest of a11 that Miss Keller fr om Goucher, and we wish that more of you all might come and learn to know and Jove Goucher as we do .

GEORGE \VA SHINGTON UNIVERSITY, \V ASIlINGTON, D. C.
It was a dream of George Washington that there might be a large university some day in \Yashin gton, D. C., where people from all sections of the country might come together for study. This dream has been realized. through the existence and activities of George Washington University. OUT university is one of the oldest in the country, founded under the name of Columbian College in 1821. [t has always contended with difficulties and handicaps, yet the university with all its departments has steadily grown, until now we have about eighteen hundred students.
Many of the students are government employees, and a schedule of classes is arranged particularly for them which commences after four-thirty. This is a uniqu e feature of George Washington University. The political science courses have become very well known throughout the country, as they fit the student particularly for consular and positions, and for the public service of the United States. Twelve per cent of all the college men in the consular service are George \Vashington graduates-that 1S as many as the percentage of the next three colleges put together.
Since so few of the students are non -residents , there are no donnitories, thus bringing fraternity life into prominence. The men's fraternities have houses and the four women's fraternities live under the same roof, each having separate rooms in a university building. This situation brings them into more congenial relationship.
Ceorge \Vashington numbers among her graduates men widely known-men of yesterday and today: Robert Ryland, the founder of Richmond College; William Greenleaf Eliot, Chancellor of Washington University in St. Louis fr om 1872 until his death in 1887; Theodore Noyes. the editor of Washington's leading newspaper, Tire Evening Slar ,; Frank Hitchcock, Posunaster General under President Taft; and George B Cortelyou, who occupied three different positions in the Cabinet under President Roosevelt.

uMiss Louise," our art teache r , who is as much an institution of the college as is the Y. W . C. A., uses the expression, "There is a subtle some thin g" when describing almost every famous painting. And now that you know Miss Loui se, I can use her expression to describe the atmosphere here at Randolph - Macon Woman's College. " There is a subtle something" whi c h draws not only g raduates, but girls who have been ,in the atmosphere for on ly a year, back to visit time and again.
Nowhere can you find , 11m sure, such a spirit of true Southern hospitality and co rdia lity New girls feel first and most that the old girls really want them at their beloved college, and that the upper classes truly wish to help the new class get started on its way. Strangers to the conege feel the spirit of comradeship, and enter into it themselves . fIelen Gymnasium and her family are common subjects of chats-Helen being none other than the non-pedigreed cat whose home is in the gymnasium. Uncle Sam gives out towels with the same grin on his fat, black face for all.
Did you ever have a calithump? Of course not. Come to our Hallowe'en festivities and see the different pr o fes so rs appear with their so-called impromptu speeches in answer to songs sung there, or perhaps a mock professor who is sure that she has each of the characteristics of the teacher she is imitating, down to a fine .point. Amateur night, Thanksg i ving , shows just what we can do with an' original minstrel, or play, or song, or dance , or whatever vaudeville act 45 suggested to anyone's fertile brain The sister class parties to which the other two classes are not invited and whi c h they promptly invade, transform the gymnasium one time into a battleship , with middies in full dress; another time cubists resplendent in checks, ate cubic c:mdy from checkered boxes . And springl why spring alone on th e campus , where the trees are cool and shady and green, and the fl o we ring bush e s so whitc , or pink or yellow, and the grass so tempting under the pine trees in the little valley which varies what might, if you stretched your imagination far enough, be .a monotonous lawn , is en ough to make you forget ,Y(>ur sickness if you are homesick, and your troubles--or shall I confess-studies, if you are worried about them.
The buildings are quite the prettiest you have ever seen with their plain, dark red brick walls, and their white pillars , and their thick, green, ivy vines, and their wonderful wistaria blossoms. First East Hall with its long flight of vine -bannistered steps, and its statue of our noble benefactor, fiercely drawing his sword while mounted above the eloquent inscription, "Soldier, citizen, philanthropist." And next, joined on either side by windowed passages, is Scien ce Hall, where preserved crayfish assert their existence by thc very fact of being preserved. Do you know the preservation? Main Hall , with the entire group of buildings, and is made glorious by the great clusters of wistaria hanging in purpled profusion over the front and two smaller side porches. The Library and West Hall correspond to Science Hall and East, ana are c onnected by like passages. New Dormitory stands apart and is the same as East and West, save only for the white columns.
Behilld New is the gravelled path leading past the tennis courts, on down the hill and the big gymnasium, and still on to the pine grove which forms-I'm quoting the catalogue-"a romanti c" setting for the little bungalow fraternity houses where no freshman is aJlowed to tread, but faculty are entertained informally on Sunday nights, and fraternity meetings held, and suppers cooked when dormitory fare fails to tempt.

[n the year 1876, Mr H ·A. De Land , of Fairport, N. Y., came to Florida on a sight-seeing tour. Passing through this section he was delighted wit h the climate, the possibilities offer ed for orange culture and the many ideal homes of the little city which bears his hono red name.
At his own expense, De Land Hall, the first building of the co lle ge, was erected in 138.1. Three years later the l egislature of Florida gran t ed a charter to "De Land University" afterward, at the request of Mr. De Land, known as John B. Stetson University, in honor of the generous donor of a $400,000 endowment. This has since increased to ove r a. million and now another endowment of $1 ,023,000 has been added.
Our university occupies a beautiful campus of about thirty-five acres, and is housed in seventeen buildings picturesquely grouped on the snmmit of a wood-:d hill, gently sloping north, from the l ittle
city. The queen of th'" imposing group is the admioistration buildiog, Elizabeth Hall, hedged by great oak.s and mantled with clinging ivy. Above, in her majestic dome, the Helen Eloise Chimes shimmer in burnished beauty. Around Elizabeth Hall , the other sp lendid buHdings are located. Science Hall stands in the midst of a grove of palmettoes just across the boulevard and on the other side is the Carnegie Library co ntaining 20,000 volumes. Cummings gymnasium, Chaudoio, Stetson, and Conrad halls, co mbioe to stud the green clad campus with monuments of learning.
We are exceedingly proud of our museum and art gallery, with ten science laboratories, iron and wood-working shops, indoor gymnastic apparatus, an enclosed athletic field, running track. baseball and footba ll fields, and thirteen tennis courts . \Ve boast also , literary societies, Christian associations, two athletic, alumni, and oratorical associations, a choral society, two glee clubs, law, art, chemistry, French, German, and dramatic clubs, f OU f good national fraternities, and two strong locals.
In 1898, Stetson University adopted the same standards for college adm.ission and for graduation as those used by the University of Chicago, and now maintains the fifteen Carnegie units requirement for college entrance. The college has progressed rapidly until the student enrolment is near 500 and the faculty numbers about forty .

As you perhaps know, we have coeducation here. And it ,it; entirely successful. Men and women are in the same classes and eat in the same dining-room. Four men and four women sit at each table. We have a system of fraterrtity tables. For examp le, P i Phi has seven tables with the four national men's fraternities here. But the non fraternity people are by no means left out, for they have their regular tables j and a great many are invited to sit at fraternity tables. '
Our dormitory life is ideal, as neither men nor women have fraternity houses. For our fraternity room, two seniors give up one room of their suite , where we hold our meetings. All of the two hundred and fifty, or so, girls live in this one dormitory under Student Government. Fraternity girls often room with girls in other fraternities or with non fraternity girls. \Ve like this very much, for it is through this Swarthmore system that we have gained the truly d e mocrati c spirit, so often lacking where fraternities keep apart from the rest of.the co llege .
Some of our noted alumni are: Dr. Walter Rittman, noted in the scientific world, and A. Mitchell

BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY, LEWJSBURO, PA.
I wonder how many Pi Phis know anything about Bucknell, which was incorporated as a university in 1846, with the exception . of the name. At all events I am proud to be able to tell you girls who hail from other colleges something about the beauties and splendors of our university. Yes, we have a glorious campus-natural beauty to be sure--but how impressive and 1nspiring are those towering old oaks which stand there like sentinels watching and guarding each class that enters and leaves our Alma Mater ! And girls, do you know what it means to have as your constant companions, birds-birds of every variety and description? Every morning before the great red sun peeps over the hill we can hear the twittering, chirping, and singing of our little bird friends, until we must be happy, whether we will or not. Yes, and there is the tiny brook which ripples across the campus and to which we often whisper our inmost secrets during our dream hOUTS. On the whole, Nature is, indeed, very profuse with its coloring in our little community. However, I am afraid if I continue in this manner you will think we have nothing but a wonderful, indescribable campus. On the contrary, we have sixteen substantial well-constructed buildi ngs scattered about, the most important of which are located on the top of a hill which we humble seekers of truth climb several times each day in search of knowledge. Now I know you are wondering whether one of those buildings could be a n <I> house! I am sorry to say that 'is among the missing. Faculty ruling has forbidden us to have a home, but we do have a most attractively furnished suite in one of the dormitories. However, on account of the splendid feeling between fraternity and nonfraternity girls in our college, I

DICKINSON COI , LEGE, PA.
More than a hundred and thirty years ago,;n 1783, John Dickinson, with some zealous patriots, founded at Carlisle, in the heart of the fertile Cumberland Valley, nineteel1 miles west of the State Capitol, Harrisburg, the college which bears his name, and which was destined to playa prominent part in molding the political life of our new-born country. The eleventh oldest college in the United States, Dickinson was unique among the learned institutions of its time, was indeed distinctly modern , in that its charte r imposed absolutely no denominational restri ctions. Its literary societies, one of which drew up its constitution before that of United States was formulated, were held in such honor among intellectual circles of the nation, that although not themselves stud(.nts heTe, such men as Daniel Webster, John Quincy Adams, John Calhoun, General Grant, and President Lincoln, were proud to become honorary members, and took an active interest in the societies.
When in 1804 , Old W es t, the main building , was burned, the event was considered such a loss to the nation that Thomas Jefferson, then President, subscribed a hundred dollars towards its rebuilding. This generous lead was followed by the French minister and seventeen members of Congress-then a large percentage . Designed by the architect of the first Capitol at Washington , West Colle.ge rose from its ashes and was ra pidly followed by other buildings. N ow, on our shady campus of eight acres, which was purchased from the Penns, entered by the historic Old Stone Steps, it forms the ce ntral figure among the r est: two other large dormitories, East and South Col1eges; Bosler Hal1 , which contains the cha pel and library; a modem gymnasium; Denny Hall , where the recitation rooms, literary halls, and administrative offices are located; the Tome

In the early years of the past century, our chair of chemistry was occup i e d by a man of world r ep utation, Thomas Cooper, who was distinguished alike in chemi stry and as a lawyer . He was -instrumental in founding the University of Virginia, and was made its first Exec utive Head by Jeffers on , who united with Mad ison in pronouncing him lithe ablest man in the United States." Through Cooper's friendship with Priestley, the College Museum came into the possessi o n of much of the latter's apparatus, in c luding tp e ve ry burning glass with which he first igni ted mer cur ic oxide in his experiments whi ch r es ulted in the discovery o f oxygen and the begin · ning of a new era in the ideas of the scientifi c world.

were sown that spelled exile to the Red Warrior and conquest to the children of the Great White Father.
Because of struggles with Indians no thought could be given to the founding of a university until several years after this. Then Rufus Putman, the father of Ohio , laid of! the town of Athens on the banks of the Hock-Hoclting, and reserved a square for the college Such was we genesis of Ohio University.
A sun-dial now marks the spot where the first building stood. Near this stands Cutler Hall, the oldest college building northwest of the Ohio. On either side of Cutler Hall are East and West Wing and back of it is Old Chapel, now caJled Musi c HalJ. These venerable brick. struCtures are built according to the simple architecture of those early times j and they are "distinct among the more imposing, but not more beautiful buildings of a later day. The high columned porches of the wings, the simple Jines of Cutler HaJJ and the arched windows and doors of the vine-covered chapel appeal to all lovers of the good and true in art.
In front stretches a large and beautiful campus, almost dense with the shade of magnificent old trees, and cut through by many weJJ trodden paths.
Five of the newer buildings are grouped on the campus back of the old buildings and the rest are on adjoining streets. They are: Ewing Hall, the administration building, Ellis Hall, the home of the State Normal College, Carnegie Library, Boyd Hall, and WlQ men's Hall, well-equipped dormitories for women, Science Halt, Training Schoo l , a department of the Normal College, Agriculture and Home Economics Building, and the Gymnasium. Plans are fast being perfected for two new dormitories and a new C:ollege of Music. The cost of all of these buildings with the heating and lighting plants amounts to a million donars.
Some of the illustrious men who have gone out from these halls arc Thomas Ewing, United States Senator during Jackson's administration, S. S . Cox, orato r, poet, artist, and diplomat to Turkey, B ishops Davia H. Moore and Earl Cranston of the Methodist Church, Stricland Gillilan, humorist and poet, and Timothy Hogan, Attorney Gene ral of Ohio.
A loyal Ohioian can hardly crowd his ideas about Ohio University into so few words, but we hope our II <It siste rs may get some idea of the worth of the school which is so dear to us because of strong and tender associations.

HILL SDALE COLLEGE, HILLSDALE, MI CH.
Hillsdale College with her Hcampus beautiful" is situated most ideally, surrounded by picturesque hills and dales-an exquisite subject for an artist. OUT coll ege grounds extend far north of the college buildings, and include lawns, tennis courts, and a broad athletic fi eld. Large evergreen trees line the walks up to the Central Building, and stand as memorials to the classes who graduated years ago.
The scenery of the co ll ege site is itself an inspiration for romantic thoughts--the theme of Will Carleton's poems. In this same college environment, with the ghosts of unfinished lessons ho vering over him, he wrote his well-known poem, HOver the Hills to the Poor House."
There are altogether six large buildings co mprising college itself. The tower of Central Building is a favorite climb among the students, and from it we may survey mil es of beautiful rolling country.
If first seen on a calm spring day, when our campus is green, and occupied by young men and women studying and talking together, under the trees, a glimpse of coeducational social life as it truly exists may be obtained. There are almost fOUT hundred enrol1ed in the various departments of our co llege , so one needs o nly to attend a few weeks before making many strong friendships. Congeniality and sincerity are the spirit of the institution.
College is almost sixty-two years old, and her very age adds sentiment for those who now attend. Many of the present students have parents who are Hillsdale alumni. One of the principle features on our campus, of which we are most proud, is a large Soldiers' Monument. This was erected by one of the men's literary societies, in m emo ry of the Hillsdale soldiers who took active part in the Civil \VaT. \Vashington Gardner, now Commander-in-chief of the G. A. R ., is one of the loyal alumni of Hillsdale.

time when many alumni return to renew old friendships and fraternal ti es. They gathe r together in the Chapel , and assemble in Eas t HalJ, just as they did when they attended school.
East Hall is the girls' dormitory, and the only original building of the college that has not been damaged by lires. Judge Ambler of Cleveland is an alumnus who sends large Christmas boxes to the East Hall girls each year.
Besides the fraternities, the oldest o r ganizations in Hillsdale Col· lege are the four literary societ ies and the Y. M. C. A . and Y. W . C. A. These are all prominent organizations and through their influen ce help in cultivating genuine manhood and true womanhood.
Athletics playa prominent part in our college curriculum, and at no time is greater enthusiasm displayed, than when a large c rowd is assembled on the football lield to cheer our team with yells and The Blue.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ANN ARBOR, MICH.
Right 'in the center of OUT very attractive Ann Arbor town is the big hustling UniVersity of Michigan with its forty acres of campus. The campus is in the shape of a huge square through which rambling walks lead to the various structures of learning. These buildingsthirty in number-vary greatly in architecture for they have been built from t ime to time since 1837 and architecture as well as times do change However, each building is big and ' efficient in its branch of work and is attractive in its own way. The new buildings stand out in all of their glory of brightness and new architecture while the
older buildings are all attracti\'cly shitlded from s:riticism by a covering of rambling vines. :Many trees border the campus and fill its empty spaces and climbing O\'er these trets arc the first charmers of Ann Arbor-the very tame and friendly squirrels.
The large number of men compared to the number of girls on the campus impresses one at first for here we have six men to every girl. The men as well as the girls are of all types and ages. We have the wealthy, the poor; the attracth'c, the unattractive; the old, the young j but democracy and good pre\'ails among all. We social life for each and every type and one does not have to belong to a fraternity to enjoy it. Moreover, the university 1S so big and whole..orne that there is apparently no anti fraternity feeling but all work together with one motive-that of gaining the most from the wonder· fuJ advan\.ages 1\1 ichigan offers to us.
Though our univ ersity is not the oldest nor the richest, it ranks among the half dozen leading universities of the country and is the Mother of them all.

Nineteen sixteen felt sure that they all favored everything that would help the college in any way He found, in some old books belonging (0 nineteen fifteen, a glowing account of the success of the football team. But the thing that really pleased him most was the fact th,t the student body had entered into an oratorical contest just as enthusiastically as it had into athletics.

UNIVERSITY OF INDIA NA, BLOO MINGTON , IND.
Two hours from Indianapolis, in the rich stone district, among beautiful hills, lies our State University. It was born in the year 1820; and chrisetned a seminary. Later it grew to a college, and now it is a university. This year there were about 1900 students en rolled .
From surrounding country we are attracted to twelve large buildings standjng on a hill. The white stone structures and the red roofs call to mind, at once, flwe win fight for the c ream and crimson , for the glory of old L U." The chief buildings form three sides of a quadrangle on the crest of the campus proper.
134 THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
The campus is one of indescribable beauty and charm. Pretty little paths lead you und er the branches of great forest trees (IlGod'3 own she l tering tents" ) t o the heart of th e camp us , which 45 indeed a uftawless cup." But, why do we feel the mystic cha rm of the campus? Is it because Dan Cupid draws the veil and shows little flutt e rin g hearts to companions, and starts r o man ces which never end? That su r el y is not for me to decide. [ on ly kn o w this spot of l ove liness in vites the r obin to huild his n est, and the ca r dina l t o si n g his sweetest song,

BUTLER COLU: GE, INDIANAPOLIS, IND.
Butler College is located in Irvington, the college suburb five miles east of the center of Indian apolis. As our college, one of the oldest in the state, was founded before the day of Irvington streetcars, the campus is situated between two railway lines-for the oonvenience of earlier generations of st udents but rather to the annoyance of some of our present classes. The campus is a perfect wilderness of forest trees, except for the well-kept lawn immediately about the buildings. The buildings themselves are of Ted brick, rather stern in outline, but softened by;vy, which has been planted by succeeding senior classes. Even the smokestack of the engine-house is comp letely cove red.
In the main buildmg are the administrative offices, most of the classrooms, halls for various college organizations, and college c hapel. To the south lies Burgess Hall, the science building, and to the west is the gymnasium. Just across from this is the girls' dormitory, where all the out-of-town girls are required to live. The athletic grounds, Irwin Field, are east of the campus proper, and our college library, th e B ona Thompson Memorial, is in the next square.
There are about 365 Butlerites. As IIPrexie" Howe says, flOur motto is 'Quality, not quantity.'" There are twenty professors on the faculty. Some of our former professors, of whom we are very proud, include David Starr Jordan , Harvey Wiley , Richard Moo re--n ow the famous radium expert in Denver , and Arthur Kenyon Rogers famed in philosophy.
Butler College first ope ned its doors November I , 1855, under the name of Northwestern University. It has always been coeducational, being one of the first of the Middle -Western colleges to admit women In recognition of the benefactions of Ovid Butler, the name of the <institution was changed in 1877. ft is an endowed school , and though, by the terms of its charte r , it has always been religious in spirit, it is not co nducted by any particular sect .
Our weekly publication is The Butler Collegian and our annual The Drift. Butler has no chapter of <I> B X, but there is an Honor Roll each semester, on which are placed the names of the students making the ten highest grades for the semester.

We have no Ph.D.s. There are no honorary fraternities at Butler l a ch as B K. We have approximately seventy-five life subscribers to THE ARROW.
Ethel R. Curryer, '97, a charter member of Indiana r was Beta Provin ce President from 1901-05. She was also Grand Guide (or the lC)06 convention in Indianapolis. Fannie Miner, '06, was Beta Province Secretary, 1910-11.
Perhaps our most prominent alumna is Mrs. Demarchus Brown (Jessie Christian, '97) wife of OUT state librarian. She is very popular throughout the state as a lecturer and has been very successful on the Chautauqua platform . Among those whose families are of more than local prominence are Mrs. Ad olph Bernsdorf (Lillian Clara Bergold, ex-'oS) wholW! husband, formerly on the faculty of Northwestern University is now professor of mathematics in the Unh'ersity of Pennsylvania. Mrs Charles Barth (Bonnie Ralston, ex-'n) who is niece of Governor Ralston of Indiana and Mrs. Car l Loop (Ethel Roberts, 'oS) whose husband, for several years Deputy Consul General in Lon don, England, is now American Consul in Bermuda.
HOMESTEADING IN MONTANA
By MARJORIE W ILLIAMS, MINNESOTA A
A telegram from Montana, urging m e to take the first train out of Minneapolis for the west, stirred the l ethargy of a sultry Jul y afternoon in 1914. Then a spirited domestic discussion, during which I became a convert to the idea of ICtaking u p a ran ch" culminated late in the summer by my linding myself happily ensconced in a four-room cottage eight miles out on the road from Havre, Montana, toward 'the Bear Paw Mountains.
"Mountain Way Ranch" was to be my home for th e required threeyear residence, and it was with a feeling of contentment that I settled down to contemplate the little dwelling and its su rr oundings. Th ese latter included the stable, the chicken-house and 320 acres of land partIy c ultivated and bounded by barbed wire, all reposing in plrun view of that little range of low bauen hills, the IIBear Paws,n whose sentinel !lOId Baldy" would soon wear an autumn cap of snow .
That year I kept the road to town very dusty with a light bu ggy and a poky horse, using this means for conveying some friend from town to my ranch -h o rne to help me enjoy the lonely life of those lirst Cew months_
HOMESTEADING IN MONTANA.
On December first, after securely storing all the m ovab les about the place, I entered upon my first leave of absence. I took advantage of this respite in the monotony of claim life , r ecen tly granted to homesteaders, to again greet the Minnesota Alphas April, 1915, found me getting settled for the summer. Moving out and arranging <he ranch equipment was no small task for myself and the woman whom I had secured as companion. We had added to our community a cow, some chickens, and a collie pup.
I will not attempt to describe my first efforts in milking nor how my hands so often ached and prevented my finishing the task-but
finally I conquered and the accomplishment indeed stood me in good stead for it was not long before my help "quit" and I had to go it alone for "one whole week."
Myl That week! How it rained I yes, rained, and in Montana. Had it not been for the timely arrival of my sister and her little daughter, I should have spent that week alone with the gray sky and the occasional sight of a pas ing Indian. During this season of dampness, I arose at six, donned. rubber boots and rain ·coat, milked and fed the cow, fed the chickens, and attended to numerous other outside tasks. The same program prevailed in the evening. I was a man of all work . The novelty stimulated, but the routine and rain rather palJed.
" MOUNTAIN WAY RAN CH"
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
With the first days of June came clear weather and in the burst of sunshine appeared Leona, from a neighboring ran ch , a Httle husky Polish maid , her flax en head blea ched by sixteen such summer suns. She lifted th e load o f work- I have kept her ever s in ce that time.
In those warm days the grain grew-sixty acres of winter wheat seeded the previous fall. The prairi e me tam o rph osed through the stages of claim and homestead into that of fann . 1 found myself with a country home and into it came mother and later father, and then the brothers and the sisters and all the kiddies , and we had a family love -feast for a week. Th en all went again their st!vera l ways. It was like ships that pass in the night-but the d arkn ess and the silence followed n o t, for in August, Sybil Bates ( Minnesota A ) bounced in upon m e on her return fr om Co nvention. \Ve together dug all up all the Minnes ota ns we co uld find in the co untry and held periodic jollifi ca tions. I had inherited a Ford r oads ter that season and the way we warmed up the hill country roads would make a goOO advertisclnent for any tire co mpany.
Harvesting and threshing follow ed in rapid succession, with their cro wds o f horses, wagons, and hungry men. It took some figuring to cook for and feed those fifte en sturdy lads , but they well repaid the effo rt, for they loaded up for me 1400 bushels of as fin e Montana grain as ever took a prize.
Within gunshot range lives my near es t neighbor , a nervous little woman who is traveling life's road alone. Her se c lu sion with its lack of both home conveniences and the society of family and friends reflects the conception which is had by so many of what it means to be a homesteader. Back and forth she trave ls often afoot, for want of conveyance, industriously attending to the few little errands which have no evident importance outside of her own busy self.
After a second sojourn in Minneapolis , I again, in April of this year, opened up the little "farmstead. " Leona and I planted the garden and fed the hungry men who this time seeded one hundred acres to spring wheat .
I had graduated into the possession of a Ford touring car, and during schooi·days made daily trips to town , in order to get Leona to school. The r o ute took us by other homesteads, which are rapidly being improved . New fences frequently compe l a diverting of the road and we sometimes have to make a new trail over untouched prairie. But it brings us a little nearer to nature.
HOMESTEADING IN MONTANA
Brown-eyed Susans dispute the route in many places. Other and many kinds of wild Bowers of varying beauty cover the plains and fill the IIco ulees ." \Ve have often had to honk our way through bands of sheep. Early this season a herder gave us a young abandoned lamb-we look it and mothered it, but in a few days in spite of what we thought was good care, it tired of life's burden.
The passing of animal Jife on OUf ranch ofte n affords a tragic moment. We tried one day to kill a sp ring chicken. We weTe hungry and wanted a good fry, and besides, we were going to have company. The men wefe all away, and neither Leona, mother, siste r, nor myself had ever operated the guilJotine. Leona finally nerved herself to man the axe. But how could the chicken be held? I tied a string aro und 4ts head "behind the ears," mother held it by the legs, and 1 kept the string taut with the chicken's head on the block. Leona started in but her head turned away. Her hysterical screams were equalled only by our exciting yells to "hu rry up I" We could not look at the sight. At last I felt the string give and I knew then that the head was off. In th e midst of it aU, sister had hurried away with her little daughter who was frantically bewailing the terrible crime of our having killed the "best looking one too ." We never told the guests how narrowly they had escaped starvation.
In August, two Minnesota 'l "he las visited a Minnesota Theta in Havr ej with the addition of some Minnesota and Havre men, a party of eight was made and with four chape ro ns we motored to Glacier Park. This trip would make a wonderful story, but would not enlighten my readers much in rega rd to the mysteries of homestead. ing.
I am now awaiting the c ulmination of harvest- li threshing time." The land in this part of the country has only recently been success fully cultivated, having been largely used for grazing purposes. Bands of sheep and herds of ca ttle are still very familiar sights. One also gets occasional glimpses of wagon loads of red-skins-subdued remnants of a vanquished prairie-roaming race.
The white man i!\ usurping the land. In this vicinity there is little left to be taken up outside of th e Assinniboine Military Reservation which will be thrown open to settlement next spring.
I have one more season to spend upon my claim before proving up. I keep open-house to all Pi Phis. When you are passing through Havre, stop off.

THE INSTALLATION OF TEXAS BETA
Texas II was installed at Southern Methodist Universi ty, Dallas, Texas, on the tenth day of last Jun e. This chapter is the outcome of the ea rnest desire of th e Dallas alummc club and Texas A chapter that n B enter this wonderful new univ e rsity at the very beginning of its existence.
During the fall, one by one , nine girls were chose n and the little local II B was formed. The second semester Ruby Jane Knight transferred from Texas A and the required "Ilumber was complete. Almost as it by magic the way was made smooth as the months went by and the last of May found your Grand Vice ·president, for the third time in a year, on a long trip o f inspection and installation.
The welcome was as warm as th e w eathe r and the days were filled with the hospitality for which the South is noted. Mrs Marshall, president of the Dallas alumnre c lub, entertained the alumnre at luncheon and . that afternoon the n B girls were at home in the Woman's Building to all the girls of the univ ersity . This was really an announcement party and congratulations and good wishes were received from all the fraternities .
Dr. May Agness Hopkins, Grand President of Z T A was a guest at one of our dinner parties and the opportunity to know more of this intetesting southern fraternity and its brilliant president was much appreciatOd. A talk on our Settlement School, by steri· optican views was given one evening in a le c ture -room of the Administration Building to the Pi Betas , Pi Beta Phis and their guests and representatives of other fraternities.
Ethel Daniel - Dyer , a cha rter member o f Virginia A and a bride 1)£ only a few weeks, opened her cosy new home to the visitors and for all ceremonies of installation . The twenty Pi Phis taking part in the installation service were from seven chapters.
Texas A was represented by Emily Maverick Miller, Zeta Province President j Mary Pi erce and Tillie M cC ammon , active chapte; delegates from Austin; Moselle Webb o f Albany, Texas; Emma June Gilcrest, Gainsville , Texas; and from Dallas, Emily White Marshall , Louise Evans, Elizabeth Leftwi ch, Ruby Knight, Grace Jalonic, Adele Epperson , Hallette Searcy Wa son, and Addie Mitchell

A banquet at the Oriental Hotel brought the feslivities to a fitting close. The girls looked very, very lovely i'l their pretty, Buffy light gowns with their eyes bright and sparkling with happiness. All young college girls seem beautiful to us but these southern girls have unusually charming, gracious manners and soft speech. No formal program had been arranged , so after singing favorite songs, the presiding officer announced a sort of game. Each one ca lled o n was to IIchoose" someone else before they sat down, until present had told in a few words what the taking of new vows and renewing of old ones had meant to her that ilay.
The opening lines of one of our songs most appropriately describe our new chapter,

SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY
Southern Methodist Unive rsity was established at Dallas, Texas, by the Commission of Education appointed by the annual confe rences of Texas in 1910; its ownership and control was accept'ed by the church through the action of the Annual Conference in 1911 j in order to place the institution on a broader foundation, especially in to the theological and graduate schools, the university was the connectiona l institut<ion for the conferences west of the Mississippi by action of the General Conference of 1914.
From the "time of its o rganization, the university has had hearty support from sources within and without the church . The people of Dallas made a very liberal gift of land and provided funds for building Dallas Hall, the General Board of Education made a subs tantial contribution to the endowment.
The university comprises at the present time the following distinct schools: The College of Liberal Arts; the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences; the Graduate School of Theology; the School of Music; the Summer Session j the Summer Normal. Courses are also
c
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
provided in the following departments: expression, drawing and painting, modeling, ceramics, domestic science and domestic arts.
The property of the university lies immediately nor t h of Highland Park, a residence suburb of Dallas and is reached by car line. This property consists of more than six hundred acres of land, of which one hundred and thirty-two acres have been reserved fo r the campus. The site is I;xceptional in its natural beauty. The Administration Building of the university stands upon the crest of an elevation equal to that of a seventeen story office building in the business center of the city, and thus affords a splendid view of the city of Dallas and the surrounding country. •
The buildings of the university consist at present of Dallas Hall, the administration and recitation building; the Woman's Building, well designed and furnished as a residence for women j Rankin Hall , North Hall, and South Hall which are occupied by men students.
Adjacent to the campus in University Park are a number of private residences in process of construction, many of which are already occupied by members of the faculty.
The university has on its prop erty two artesian wells, the larger haviog been completed recently at a cost of almost $ 20,000 reaching to the Trinity sands, about 3,000 feet below the surface and affording more than SOO,O!lO gallons daily of the purest water. Natural gas has been carried to all parts of the university's residence section and community as well as to the clmpus.
An excellent beginning has been made toward the accum ulat ion of a library. During the first year about 7,000 vo lumes were acquired.
The university is a member of the Texas I nterco ll egiate Athletic Association and all university games are played under the amateur rules laid down by that body. Besides the football team, the university has teams in baseball, soccer, basket-ball, and track. Tennis clubs have been organized and tournaments arranged for singles and doubles.
There are various other organizations including "a women's glee club; a girls' choral club; two literary societies, the Forum and the Commons; Y. W. C. A.; Y. M. C. A.; French Club i Panhellenic, and the Men's Interfraternity Council. .
The student publication, The Campus, is published once a week. The Rotunda} the annual, is published by the juniors in the spring.
The women's fraternities represented are Z T A, H , A .6. IT, K 4, A 0 II, .6. A d , X 0, and II B 4> j the men's fraternities are K A,

in Colorado. Doesn 't that sound like a wonderful o ur pr ovi nce president, suggested this affair, and She nllo suggeilled that Colorado R be the first
Texas .A was enthusiastic from the first, but financially we didn't see our way clear To go across the state of Texas is almost like going across the continent. At the end of co lle ge year, howev er , our chaperon turned ove r to us some money that she had saved during the year, so we decided to send one delegate. •
I faUy appreciate how lucky] was to get to go. and was very exc ited to think of visiting a whole b un ch of strange Pi Phis. Wh en I told people that 1 was going to a Pi Phi house party in Colorado, there was a note of pride in my voice.
On June eighteenth 1 arrived at Palmer Lake. and was driven over to the coUaee (which really. was not a cottage but a three story mountain house) which Marguerite Williamson. Colorado B, had len t us for th e occasion. Only three of the girls had arrived, and they were in aprons cleaning and scrubbing in an attempt to get the house in order. I was glad that I had a rrived a day early by mi s take. although it was necessary that I should insist upon helping in the hoase cleaning
The next afternoon about ten girls and the c haperon came down from D enver. Everyone looked everyone else over with a critical eye, but in the best hum o r Perhaps I should not lay c riti cal , but all Pi Phis seem to be .like in respect to this one quality.
Six girls from Colorado A.. one delegate from \'fy oming A. one delegate from Texas A, and nearly every girl from Colorado B were th e re sometime
during the teo day.. We mi.sed the Oklahoma delegate. She will have to go to the next p rovince house-party to get an idea o( what she milseci.
The ten days in those beautiful mountains we filled with those good times that only a bnnch of girls can have. \Ve went on horseback rides. beehtealc roasts, swims in the lake, and tramps. Besides theae pleasure. we went on all day j_uotti in • hig White Steamer, which the (fOCCty rnA-n put at our disposal. We .Iso attended a dance at the Palmer lake city hall, where the mUlic consisted of • violin, piano. and drums, played by the baker, his wife, and the 1Od. jerker. After the first two day. no ODe (elt tbe leut bit (ormal and we would even quarrel about whose turn it WI, to cook. For the entire ten day. we paid only ten dollars so we all helped cook.
One very cold night we alls&t belore the hU&e fireplace nd had a fraternity meeting. Margaret FOrlyth, Colorado B. who bad been at Goucher College told us about Pi Phi there; Serafino Facinello told us about Pi Phi in Wyomine, Helen Grill told u s about Colorado B and somethin g about the conditions at Vassar, and I tri ed to think of all the victories that Texas A had won. It was very informat a.nd we talked of those things that were of most Interest to ·a.ll of us. Of co urse, we talked about trials with the freshmen, and the terrors of rushing. We decided to have the province house-party every year, or every other year as the chapters thought best, and we sugg-ested that these house partin be as inexpensive nnd informal as possible.
[ know how valuable space is in THE Auow SO I will not a.ttempt to tell about everything. When Texas .A has the opportunity to be hostess, 1 since rely hope that we shall be able to the girls such a thoroughly enjoyable time and make the house-party as g-reat a success as did Colorado B.

AT LAKE CHAUTAUQUA
AU the Pi Phis who were in Chautauqua, N. Y , thi s summer will bave the happiest memories not only of the many delightful advantages which Chan· tauqua afford. but of the fellowship as well. About two hundred fraternity wom en signed their namcs in the Pan hellenic regi ste r Ilnd the Pi Beta Phis led in numbers and social activities. Mrs. Arthur E. Bestor (Jeanette Lemon. Indiana A). vice-president of the Chicago alumnBe club. who is tbe wife oC the president of the Chautauqua Institution, was our fiut hostess. She gave an informal lea to enable the Pi Phis to meet Mrs. Robert Galt, president of the Chicago alumn!e. Mrs. Bestor also gave a cooky·shine at her home. Mrs. Vance Phillips, Nebraska B, a member of the faculty of the Chautauqua Summer Schools assisted by Miss Evelyn Bishop, New York A, gave a cookyshine in her studio. Miss Sara Murdock (Illinois E) gave a tea and Miss Gertrude F. Co le (Missouri B) gave a farewell tea. Texis led in the Dumber of Pi Phis registered 'Wi th Syracuse, N. Y., as a close second.
Pi Phi history was the favorite topic of conversation at some of the gatherings and Mrs . Drybread (May Copeland), Mic higan A, a former national officer, told many interesting stories of h e r work and Mrs .5. O. Thomas, 8 charter member of Iowa A, contributed many bits of historical lore.
There it some talk of having a Panhellenic House for the women's fraternities at Chautauqua next summer and the Pi Phis evinced much interest in the project.

Sallie Belle Weller, Texas A, '09 sends us the following account of the cooky-shine whi ch was held at Columbia University summer school.
On Thursday, August 4. at 6 :30 o'clock twtnty-oot Pi Beta Phis assembled in the Faculty Parlor of Whittier Hall, Columbia University, for a cookyshine. To Sarah C. Furman of Pennsylvania B was due the happy evening, Jince she conceived the idea and was the moving Ipirit in the preparations. After the girls were seated before the spread on the floor-a.s in good old college ching ching" was sung. Then each girl in turn gave her name, her chapter. her business or profession, and her co arse in the Summer Sch'ool. Thil was very interesting-and. as was to be expected t the majority were teachers. Next each told the outstanding characteristics of her chapte r, and mOlt helpful and inspiring it was to hear about the activities of J?i Phi aU over the country. Jennie Rowell, Vermont B, spoke in behalf of the Loan Fund, urging the girls to give it their earnest consideration. Edna Brown described the wonderful new chapter house that Minnesota A was building. Sallie Belle Weller, Teus A, introduced the baby chapter, Texas B, at the Southern Methodist University at Dallas. The cooky shine was a great treat to all, and meeting girls from such d iffere.t localities gave each broadened outlook and a bigger conception of the ideals (or which n B 4J stands. I am sure that we always feel our love for Pi Phi deepened after such occasions.
The (onowing were present : Edna Brown and Mildred Loomis, Minnesota A.; Jennie Lena Rowell, Ruth AI. Durfee. Ruth F. Catlin, Ethel M. Center, o( Vermont B; Roberta C. Bowen. Vermont B and New York A..; Lura Alice Mercer and Geraldine Long o( Colorado B; Mary Vaughn, Iowa r; Inez: Campbell, and Linda Pratt of Ontario A; Frances Powers, Nebraska B; Mary E.

This interesting glimpse of Pi Phi activities in Honolulu is taken from a personal letter written to Mrs. Nickerson by Mrs. R. W. Gaylord (Margaret Weutch, Iowa r e.-'13).
You will perhaps be interested to know that, co unting myself, there are five Pi Phis l iving in Honolulu, Anna Johnson, Columbia A; Serena Maddux, California B; Helen Stearns, Colorado B, and Mrs. W. J. Hampton, Cali· fomia .A.
One day this sommer while Mabel Joyce and Mae Parton, both of Washington A, were here, we had a little te3. at my home and spe nt a very enjoyable a(ternoon. Mrs. Hampton gave us a little swimming party a short time ago.

LAKE GENEVA, WI8CO r 81 r
THE SCENE OF PI RETA PHI'S CELEBRATION
(The following dUCriptiOD oC Lake Geneva has been written by • Pi Phi whose permanent home bas been at Lake G'neva for the past seventeen yearl. Louite Chapman gndu.ted from MI. Holyoke College and became a member of Pi Beta Phi while studying (or her master'. degree at the Univer.ily of Wiscon.in. two yean ago.-EoITOR.)
Lake Geneva, situated at the extreme southern end of \V isconsin, about t,,"f'lve from the Illinois stale line and about forty miles (mm Lake l\lichigan, has long been nuted for its scenery, the clearrtess of its atmosphere, and the purity of its air.
The length of the lake lies east and west and is about nine miles. In width it "varies from a half mile to about three and a half or four miles at the broadest portion; rough ly speaking, it is shaped like a stocking with Lake Geneva Oity located at the toe, Williams Bay at the knee, and Fontana at the top of tbe stocking. The lake is con· nected with Chicago directly by the Northwestern road and by means of the boats and trolley from Fontana, and stage to Springfield, with points north and directly sotUh by Chicag<>, Milwaukee and St . Paul and North western lines.
The waters of Lake Geneva are exceedingly deep for so small a lake. In fact, there are two spots where tradition says that su rveyors have never been able to reach hottom. This may be exp lained by the theory that strong underground springs break through the bed of the lake at these points and interfere with th e soundings. It is a {act that in case of drownings which have occu rred at these points it has been difficult to recover th e bodies.
The fO:hore line measures, according to oonservative estimates, twenty·one miles, though those who have walked it, and by th e way -it makes a very pleasant day's jaunt, claim all the way up to twenty · seven or eight miles as their record. The shores were originally heavily wooded except at two spots wh ere the hills, which every· where crowd down to the water's edge, here r ecede and give place to low, marshy ground. Birch , cottonwood, maple, lind e-n, and oak (orm the bulk of the timber, though elms and ironwood, l ocust, and other varieties are found. There are beautiful sandy beaches at half a dozt.'n points , four of these lying along the public boulevard which, encircling the lake, touches at these pla ces .
LAKE GENEVA, WiSCONSiN 157
The water of the lake is spring-fed and consequent ly is o rdinarily colder than the usual inland water, though in a summer like the one just past, it was very wann. It is clear as c rystal and remarkably free from weeds. In a season of varying weather, it ranges in color from the deepest sapphire, thr ough turqu oise to match the sky and merges through the greens into greys as silvery as platinum and as dull as lead . . rt is a very temperamental lake, responding to every change in the atmosphere and every variation in the light, and to those who know it and love it, it is the best of companions because it never becomes commonplace.
Aside from its own natural beauty, it lays claim to note from all quarters o f the globe by Teason of the magnificent estates that are located on its shores along the eastern end of the lake. On these the btlst efforts of the landscape artists have gone to work.ing with, rather than in rivalry with nature . Instead of a parade of artificial grounds, the owners have taken pride in preserving the natural beauties of bluff, rolling ground, and natural woods, and have merely added by harmonious architecture and some cutting out and planting in of open spaces to what is already nearly perfect.
In spite of the vast wealth that is represented by the families owning property here, the whole atmosphere of the lake is simple, natural, and wholesome. The breath of scandal never hovers over to cloud its pure waters, and while fast motor boats, beautiful steam yachts, and handsome gowns and other signs' of luxury abound, they aTe of such a kind as to seem in, rather than out of place.
Besides the large estates, the majority of which are located along the eastern end of the lake , there are many camps and collections of cottages which occupy the greater part of the shore at the west end of the lake. Conference Point is where the Sunday School and various church conferences are held. The Y. M. C. A . camp and training school is located here and by its activities brings many a person to the lake who goes away to spread its fame broadcast. "Holiuay Home" is the great fresh air charity outing p lace which has long been the pet charity of the extremely philanthropic colonists of lake. Some of the newer recreation and outing camps supported by institutions or voluntary contributions are the Fourth Presbyterian Camp, Olivet Camp, and Eleanor Camp, the latter of special interest as providing at cost a very pleasant summer vacation for independent. self-supporting business girls and women.

AGNES REBECCA WRIGHT, PI BETA PHI FELLOW FOR 1916-17
It is an honor of no small significance to be the winner of the Pi Beta Phi Fellowship. No one co uld feel more keenly the honor of this marked recognition than Agnes Rebecca Wright, a member of the Wyoming A of the University of Wyoming, who will represent her chapter and the national fraternity at Columbia University during the scholastic year 1916-17.
Agnes Wright was born January 5, 1894 at Delta, Colorado, entering the Laramie, Wyoming, public schools at seven in the third grade and graduating from the State University with the degree of A. B. in the class of 1913 when she was nineteen years of age. Immediately upon her graduation she accepted the position of as -

occupied since that date much to the credit of he rself and the satisfactio n of all.
During Miss Wright 's co lle ge days she received the following recognitio n - member of the Alpha O!Dega, the f o re runn e r of the national; charte r member of A Pi Beta Phi ; member of the university glee and mandolin clubs; delegate, 1911, t o Y. W. C. A.

In connec tion with her duti es at th e State Library, Miss Wri ght attended a night comme rcia l school in o rd e r to finish her work in shorthand. In 1913 she t ook the U. S. Civil Servi ce exa mination f or draftsman in the Land Office of the Government and. stood fourth highest in the entire nation examination . Thinking that the library work might be more gainful, she refused a government office as a result of this examination. Since that time "spare hours" have been occupied with co rrespondence work in journalism in the State University at B o ulder Colorado und er Dr. W N Raine , and finishing a course in political economy 1n her Alma Mater.
In 1915 there was established a national literary fraternity , in which member sh ip is g ranted through merit and literary work. Miss \VHght was initiated , as the original "Penpushers" and th e Wyoming University had been admitted to this national now known as "The Quill!' For two years she has been edi t o r of the H ome Department of the Wyoming Stockman-Farmer telling the women of the state how to make jelly and cakes, take care o f children, kill flies, and look after the gene ral sani tation of the home! This journal is published in Cheyenne and has a ci rculation of 50,000.

Miss Wri ght is a member of The American Association of State Wyoming State Library Association, Hospital Aid Corps of Cheyenne, An Cl ub, Cheyenne Country Cl ub, Coll ege Club, Musical Cl u b, and the Wyoming Press Association.
The spirit of extreme optimism and a genius for hard work have helped Agn es Wright to a chiev e many things d9ring her short life . No task was for her eve r too difficult to attempt, no w o rk too ardu ous, others' burd ens were never too heavy {or her to assume, the improbable shpped itself into reality under her cheerful determination, while so metimes seeming defeat was met with a wholesome laugh . It was this dominating spirit to do that made possible for her a university education. During all o f her co llege years Mi ss Wright was selfsupporting , accepting a position as librar y and cler ical assistant in the university, serving also f o r a part of her time in co llege as editor-in-chief of the univ ersi ty paper, Tlte Wyoming Student . This doubHng of duties, o f co urse, necessitated ex tra h ours during the days on whi ch the student paper was issu ed, strenuous hours from three in the morning until five in the afternoon. But her optimism displayed itself in her response to the question "How hard you work." i t is only once a week. ."
Perfect health is responsible f o r mu ch o f Miss Wright's varied su ccesses . This health has been and is maintained by her interest and keen enjoym ent in all sorts of athletics, skating, c ross-country riding, basket and baseball , dancing , tennis and golf, in the last of which she at present exc els

twenty feet west of the old cottage and about three hundred feet east of the school building on the top and side of the hill, facing the north, directly in front of the driveway from the highway, with a good view of mountains from every window. Upon entering the piazza (28x12) and up a step we come to the front door .alcove, with its seats on ejther side inviting you to rest and gaze upon the wonderful mountain view, which just now is brilliant in colo ring from the touch of Jack Frost. The front door opens into a hall (1Ix10) with a living -room (16x20) on the east, finished in beautiful, almost perfect chestnut. A great chimney of warm red brick nearly :fills the south end with inviting chimney seats or cosy corners on either side. Four windows give abundant light to this most attractive room with its beaded and matched walls and ceilings and open joists.
On the right of the hall in the northwest corner is the teachers' "den" or library, a snug room (16x lO ) with three windows. Directly across the hall from the front door is the dining-room (16xll), with walls finished with ll -inch red oak boards, laid vertically with 2-inch battens, and a freeze of narrow boards laid horizontally above the moulding strips. A built-in sideboard is on the west wall while three large windows introduce a fl?od of warm sunlight. This is a wonderfully handsome room, every board being about perfect. On its left and back of the living-room are the pantry and kitchen, light and airy and fitted with built-in closets and conveniences . A bedroom planned for the head resident, is in the southwest corner of the house (13xll), and off the stair hall is the lavatory and toilet. The hall and stairway are entirely cut off from the front of the house and are in the west center of the building between the den and head resident's bedroom. From this hall y stairs lead down to the basement and up to the second flo or. On the second floor are five beautiful bedrooms, aU finished in velvety, narrow beaded and matched native woody sel,ected for its fine, clear grain and perfect quality. The sizes of these rooms are as follows: northeast room (12 ;hx16), center or guest room ( 1I x IS ), northwest room (9xI6), southeast room (9x 16) , the bathroom (7Y,xll) , with generous closets in each room , a linen closet, broom closet, and clothes closet. The attic or third floor is over the whole building and will be spacious for storage of trunks, etc, The outside of the house is cove red with clear poplar, or whitewood siding and shingled roof.

It has taken seventy-seven days to build this house and it will cost approximately $5,500.

OUR PROPOSED HOSPITAL
Now that our -long-talked -o f teachers' residence, with its furnace heat and abundance of running water, is a reality, we must tUTn our thoughts and st r ength to the next greatest need-the hospital. This year g reater than eve r we have needed this institution. School has been closed by order of the Co u nty School Board for two weeks because of an epidemic of diphtheria, and a large numbtt of deaths among the children, especially at the Sugar Lands, have been entirely due to lack of proper care.
As I write this I am interrupted by a ca ll e r who reports the seconu death in Pink Cole's family of live (the oldest nine years o ld ) this month . They live on th e Two Mile Creek and he has been one of the best workmen on the new residence. No doctor nor nurse visited tbis family ! You who can call a physi c ian by phone and have him at your bedside within a hour cannot realize the conditions here when we may travel over rough roads eight or ten miles to the only phone, nnd it out of order, travel eight or ten miles farther on, and by begging and pleading and offering or knowing you will have to pay a year's savings for the visit get the doctor to your sick child inside of twenty-four hours at the quickest and possibly not until forty-eight hours have passed. I cannot think of a single family which has not had sickness of one kind o r another this fall. It has been a terribly hard fall upon everybody, the people tell me \Vhile we have had no physician to diagnose these cases, we believe our people have had diphtheria, scarlet fever, tonsilitis, and numerous lesser ailments. For these, every woman has a different remedy, handed down for generations. I have been told by a
NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON 173
visiting mountain physician that these remedies kill as many as they cure
Dear sisters in Pi Beta Phi, for the sake of the small, helpless c hildren let us share with OUT mountain mothers the means at our co mmand to promptly equip this little building with the simple n ecessities for relieving the anguish and suffering among our p'eople. The county has given us a permanent lease of this school property whlch is wonderfully situated on top of a hill overlooking the valley and the surrounding mountain ranges and includes a SOx30 two-yearold building. This should be put in use immediately. I have just the nurse we need ready to come . The plan is to have her in cha rge of the hospital , with a native girl or two native girls always in training as assistants, and when not needed at the hospital, to have her go out daily as a visiting nurse, examining into the health of our people and the condi tion s they live under, giving lesso!ls and advice upon caring for the sick. The need is so great here that words fail me in putting it as forcefully as I reel it should be.
lt is proposed that this work shall be entirely memorial. Dear sisters, for the sake of one of your precious ones who have gone before you, will you not send a gift to this splendid undertaking for preventing suffe ring and prolonging life?
We have been given an almost new ambulance. \Ve shall need tw o mules. Will some one offe r to buy a mule for the hospital? The nurse will ride onc of these mules up the ravines and river bottoms, over the divides and through narrow, rocky trails: will some one offer to buy a saddle for her?
I am going ahead with this work with the conv iction in my heart that God will answer my prayer that generous gifts will come to pay the cost.

quite inte resting leaving Kn oxville at six A. M. on a most informal train for Sevierville and then riding fifteen miles in a springless "hack," eight 'of those miles being over the rockiest Toad I ever encountered but thr ough beautiful scene ry . Jac k Frost had done his work well on the hill sides: the little Pigeon, spanned by numerous little swinging bridges, rushing and tumbling along; the women washing clothes by the water's edge and boiling them in huge iron pots, all made the time pass away quickly and pleasantly and before we realized it we were at OUT journey's end and rounding a turn in the road there was Andy Ogle's new house ( r recognized it by its picture in THE ARROW) I the schoolho use and nest led in the trees near by, the teachers' cottage, the nearly completed new residence and Mrs. H e lmi ck's new bunga.Iow, and such a wann welcome from Mrs. H elm ick, Miss Plank and the teachers. We (my daughter and r ) felt that we belonged to the place at o nce.
I wish you might see the resid ence; it is lovely, roomy , and of pleasing architecture. You know they do not lathe and plaster down here. These walls, instead of be ing o f pine boards , are down stairs quartered sawed red oak, left in its natural state and you have no idea how beauti ful it is. Mrs. H elmick has watched every board. that has gone inte the house, indeed, there is mu ch of Mrs .. Helmick in that house. She was telling m e she had reduced twenty pounds this summer and attributed it to her simple life and lack of soups and desserts, but her young son George exclaimed "It's that house, trotting all day for it. She's the whole works." And he is about ri gh t. Who of us would be to come down here and stay four months as she has done to superintend this building? She is up and out every morning at 6 :3 0 to start the men, going down to Mr. Huff's to telephone about bricks, plumbing, paint, etc., and being subject to call all day l ong. She is greatly distressed that her correspondence has been neglected but it is physically impossible for one person to do more than she has down here .
Everybody is busy down here. Miss Plank and the three teachers are constantly on the jump. Just at the present time the school attendance is small owing to a recent quarantine and prevalence of diphth eria and scarlet fever. but even so every night after school finds the four cottage workers headed out on a mission up Roaring Creek to Mrs . McCarters to see about "kivers" she is weaving or up Sugar Lands way to Aunt Lydia's to buy baskets, or Mill Creek to Steve Whaley's or over to the Glades to Montgomery's and then
NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON 175
every night to Mrs. Ephriam Ogle's, a good mile there and back, for their quart of milk. A very busy life is that of our Pi Phi sisters working at our school.
I am going home filled with enthusiasm for our work here . I have been in the homes and the girls have told me of the changes which have been wrought since we started our school, but there is still much to do.
A hospital is a crying need I The use of the county school on the hill has been given us for this purpose, but we must equip it and put a nurse in charge and that will take money. We have started a big thing down here; we have the con fiden ce of the people and we must not weaken or tUfn back . 'V e must feel that this is just as important a missioqary work. as any done by the churches. Some of us feel that we have given all that we can when we give to church missions. That is all right j give all you can there and then bustle around and give more for the Pi Phi School, and don't think that when that five-year pledge is out that you are through, we have only just started I I have been visiting seve ral of these mountain schools while down here and I can see what great things we can do with time and MONEY.

All read ers of Prudenc e oj lAe Parsonage which was r eviewed at length in THE ARROW for last March will be eage r to read th e sequel, Prudence Says So. I Jl the new volume, Prudence, the charming heroine of the earlier book, does not figure prominently after rhe first few chapters for she leaves the parsonage to found her own hQme . Her influ ence, however, yet remains in the manse and the words " Prudence Says So" are constantly used in family arguments by those left behind. The book deals with the development of the other four IIparsonage girls" who grow into exceptio nally attractive womanhood.
Mrs . Hueston is gaining in pictorial power and her new book contains more passages of real strength than are found in the earlier vo lume while the appealing qualities of Prudence of the Parsonage are, if anything, intensified in its sequel.

IN MEMORIAM
LoUISE ROWE-DESHLER
Iowa r mourns the death of Louise Rowe - Deshler who died at Billings, Montana, in August, 1916.
The early year. of her splendid life were spent at Boone, Iowa. She was graduated from the Iowa State COllege at Ames . in 1904, where she had been active in all student organizations and was easily one of the leaders of her class. While in college she was an active worker for the reestablishment of Iowa r of II B '1>. In 1907-8 Louise again entered Iowa State College to take a postgraduate course giving special attention to dietetics.
She was a dietitian at Fuiley Hospital in Dubuque, I owa, for two years, leaving only to accept a better position in the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Later she established a strong course in domestic science in her home town, Boone, Iowa.
Her strength of character was evident during the trying period before her marriage when death claimed both her father and her mother within the rear. She never wavered when the trials seemed hardest, but met her troubles bravely.
In July, 1915, Louise was married to W. E. Deshler, also a graduate of Iowa State College. To her new home she gave a rare devotio n and love which made her home life radiant with happiness. Among her new friends in the West, she displayed the same womanly qualities that had always dominated her life as student, teacher, friend. In August, 1916, death claimed her soon after the birth and death of he r little daughter . One of the sweetest memories her n friends cherish is a note written to them just before her passing when her heart was so filled with love and anticipation of her approaching motherhood.
Mrs. Deshl!,r was a member of O. E. S and D. A. R. She possessed a splendid personality and was devoted to the service of those about her; Iowa r is richer and better for her membership.

hard to real-ize that the end was near. The same brave spirit that sustained her at the last had always gladdened and brightened life for her and all who knew her. Her belief in the ultimate triumph of the bright.est and best in life and her ability to inspire others with her faith were her greatest gifts.
As a very young girl, while student at th e western high schoo l of Washington, D. C., Maxcy attracted the interest of her teachers by unusual straightfoTvt'ard and unprejudiced point of view. Her unswerving devotion to loyalty and truth made her fellow -students feel that her friendship was well worth winning. To this splendid integrity of character the years added an ever-broadening understanding and ever deepening sympathy to fashion a personality very rare and fine.
Columbia A enjoyed the active support of Maxcy Robeson only during the term 1909 - 10 when she attended George Washington University. The following year she returned to Wellesley where she graduated two years later. Immediately she secured a position as teacher in St. Margaret's Episcopal School for Girls in Kentucky , where she remained for two years, making herself indispensable to the faculty and winning friends among her colleagues, pupils, and
The loss of Columbia A is far greater than we can appreciate and we mourn especially that this life so ri c h in promise o f noble fulfilment has ended before it was fairly begun. God grant that the memory of Maxcy Robeson's patience, fortitude , and cheerfulness may remain ever bright before us, and if in Our own dark hours her example fortifies and sustains us, her generous so ul will have received its most welcome reward and will rejoice that her brief life on earth has not been in vain.

To her fellow-members of California B and to her many friends, the sudden death of Amy Swayne Hill e r came as a great shock. Amy was born November 1, 1889, in Alameda, Ca lifornia, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs Robert Swayne. guring part of her preparatory school course, she attended Alameda high school, going later to the Notre Dame Convent at San Jose for a year and a half , and graduating from Miss Head's School in Berkeley . She entered the University of California in the fall of 1908 and was initiated into
California B at that time. During her year of college life, she lived in the chapter house and thus became more intimately associated with the girls than might otherwise have been the case during such a short time.
On April_30, 1912, Amy was married to Mr . Henry Hiller, and resided in San Francisco. In the spring of this year, they had built a new home and had been enjoying it for just a few months when she suddenly passed away September 23, 1916. Her kind-heaned, generous, and thoughtful personality will never be forgotten by her friends, who were fortunate to have known her .

MAT TE R S OF CLUB I NTE R ES T
In this semi-centennial year, this record of the activities of the newly organized alumnre; club in Monmouth, 111., the ho me of the original chapter of I. C. Sorosis, is of especial note .
The Mon mouth Alumn", Club of Pi Beta Phi has started the year's work enthusiastically. We were so fortunate in having with us at o ur June meeting four of the Feunders, Mrs. Soule, of Tacoma, Mrs. Turnbull of Philadelphia, and dur o wn Mrs Kilgore, and Mrs Hutchi nson Th ey gave us delightful talks upon their experiences in the early days of Pi Phi . Miss Steele, our proviD ce • vice-president , was al so with us , so it made a very interesting meeting.
O ur first meeting this rail was held - in September with Mrs . Minnie Babcock W o lf , an T. C. Our president, Mrs . Kilgore , was unfortunately in th e hospital for tr ea tment at that time but we carried out her ideas in planning the work for the co ming year.
We expect to m ee t each month except the three months of sum· m'e r, that to be optional. This was our Settlement Meeting and w e had some interesting papers pertaining to the w o rk of the school by members of the club, Perhaps as we hav e n o ac.tive chapter near us which needs our help, we feel even a littl e more int erested in th e school than some of the other cl ubs. Our secretary received a letter from lItiss Plank in regard to th e nt;.eds of a new hospital and we hope to do some sewing for it.
This club has quite a scope of territory for its membership, some livin g twelve and thirty ·fiv e m iles away, but we have a good atten · dance and feel that we are all interested and working for the good of Pi Phi

EDITORIALS
Just fifty years ago next April the first chapter of I. C. Sorosis, the motqer of all the succeeding chapters of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity, came into being at Monmouth College, Monmouth, Ill. The story of the history and development of our organization has been admirably told in The History 0/ Pi Beta Phi Fraternity compiled by Elizabeth Allen Clarke-Helmick and pubHshed in 1915. But there are many intimate details which remain unwritten as the chronicler herself has declared because she worked under certain limitations. In Chapter II I under Extension, she has told us briefly of the beginnings of each chapter on our active roll in 1915 and included statistics of its membership as it stood then. It is the object of the current and the succeeding issue of THE ARROW to supplement this brief reference to each chapter with a few more personal details with the object of bringing all chapters into a more intimate knowledge of each other.
When considering various plans for observing our semi-centennjal year in the historical spirit, the Editor decided that the most helpful scheme would be one which might result in a closer knitting of chapter relationships. Accordingly, she asked for a brief, vivid, description of the college home of each chapter and supplemented it with ; request for specific data concerning its personnel. For the resulting information, she is indebted to the cooperation of the chapter 'corresponding secretaries and historians of 1915 -16 .
The shortage of paper and the general advance in prices in the publishing world has made it necessary to curtail original plans and to abandon entirely the idea of illust rating the articles . The names of , Phi Beta Kappas have been omitted and the material has been otherwise condensed when possible.
A word of explanation is in order in regard to the naming of Pi Phis of prominen ce. Chapter officers were asked to list chapter members whose activities were recorded in the Womenls Who's Who and of any other chapter members who may have attained more than local prominence through public, artis ti c, educational, or social work of any kind, including the names of any members who are wives or daughters of (;(,ngressmen, statesmen, college presidents , or men who have won distinction in other lines . In several cases, the list given has been supplemented by the Editor from her personal knowledge hut there are doubtless other names unrecorded which should have
186 THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
been included. In such cases, the alumna noticing the omission, is requested to communicate with her own active chapter so that the of today may have this interesting knowledge of the personal position and achievements of their own alumna!.
Apropos of the Life Subscription Campaign, a word may be said concerning organization. By the terms of the contest (see page 43 , October ARROW ) all c hapters may compete on an equal basis, iIre · spective of age but there is no question but the chapter organizing its campaign most efficiently will have an advantage. Each chapter should have a campaign committee headed by an efficient chairman. Some chapters are enthusiastic enough to divide their active membership into two teams and the teaIIl securing the most subscribers within a given time is entertained by the losing team at lunch. There are many schemes that can be tried out. It's time to get busy for only six months remain before the end of the con test.
Attention is again called to the common error committed by members who speak of our "coat-af-arms." Technically speaking, we hav!! no coat-of-arms and the proper term, Pi Beta c rest, should be used
Th. Sunday Slate Journal for October 8, 1916, contained an attractively illustrated account of our Settlement School writt en by Ruth O. Roberts, Wisconsin A Articles like this, prepared with care and accuracy add greatly to the credit o f the fraternity and help to make our objects clear to the public.
At the request of Mrs. Flora Warren Seymour, President of the Bureau of Volunteer Social Service, the following explanation of its aims and needs is presented
Nothing is more certain than that there is a vast amount of good will and ability for social work unutilized because of the lack of a proper agenc y for app-lying it to service. The Bureau of Volunteer Social Service was organized in Chicago about a year ago, under the auspices of the Association of Collegiate Alumnre, to act as a middleman between those who wish to help and those who can make use of helpers. We realize that we are only beginning to touch upon a large field of work , and we are eager to make the coming year one of great
helpfulness. We are offering you the opportunity to develop your own talents while using thEIll to benefit others. What can you teachEnglish, sewing, music? Can you entertain clubs, can you direct children in their play? Can you do friendly visiting, or interviewing or investigative work? If so, the Bureau wants you. Call up or write its headquarters at Room 519, 431 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, and it will use its best efforts to put you in touch with a real opportunity for service.
All women who are interested in vocational opportunities will be glad to know that the Women's Educational and Industrial Union in Boston offers three fellowships of $500 each to college graduates desiring to investigate vocational opportunities for women. By arrangement with several of the colleges this investigation may count as work toward a higher degree. Infonnation regarding this work may be had from the Research Department of the Women's Edu';"rional and Industrial Union, 264 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts.
Remember THE ARROW subsc ripti on campaign . Reread the Dolict: regarding it in the October ARROW and plan at once to make a strenuous effort to win the prize.
ANNOUNCE ME TS
Last college year the College Fraternity Reference Bureau offered a prize of $25 for the best short history of any college fraternity. It required that these histories should be con"fined to two hundred words. When the com.mittee met this summer, it was found not a single entry had been made. Enqwry developed that many had been willing to enter the contest, but they felt that the limit of two hundred words was too confining. It was therefore decided to remove this limit and to ask simply that each contestant write a short history of his or her frate rni ty and that the prize be awarded to the one which cover s the main facts most carefully in ·a brief sketch. The purpose of this contest is to enable tHe bureau to have on file an authentic record of each organization. This is a move

The enthusiasm and l oyal spirit of Virginia Alpha's was when several of the old sacrificed "those last precious days at h o me" in o rd er to return to coll ege early a nd make preparations for rushing. But when we emerged from the week of rushing the reward of o ur self-denials in the form of six fin e p ledges was m o re than s uffi c ient. The splendid results of pledge day i s t h e stim ulu s (or us to exert all o ur ene rgies toward making 1916' 17 the most profitable year th at Virginia A h as expe ri · enced:
The ann ual V. W. C. A. reception to the new girls was given in th e gymnasium the first week o( s<: h ool.
This is one o( the most- enjoyable events d uring the sc hool year. A plan has been adopted t o have an open (orum of the Y W C A. at stated intervals, that all students malt have the opportunity to give expression to their opinions con· cerning phases of the Y. W. C. A work Thi s we (eel will be ex c« dingly helpful in many wayl.
On October f o urt ee nth the senior class e ntert ained the members o( the (ac ulty at a formal re ceptio n in our class parlor. Thi long anticipated even t in the life o( every senior proved a gr eat success.
We Ilre fortunate in hanna: bad already, so early in the yt;ar, two most interesting and beneficial open Panhellenic m«tings MillS Corbett, editor o( The Angelos of Kap pa Delta and delegate to national Panhellenie, was kind enough during her visit here t o give us in a short direct talk a few of the poiDU discussed in nati onal Pan h ellenic. Also there wu an ope n disc ussion o( the conditions existing here in local Pan h ellenic. I( we r eme mber and comp ly with the uggestion s and advi ce whi ch she gave us , I am lure we
will find muc.h improvement. We feel very grateful wben we know tbt Miss Corbett considered the spirit between the different frat e rnity and nodraternity girls exceptionally good.
Another occasion of great pleuure was when we had with us Miss Gar,., a member of the national financial committee of the Y. W. C. A She i. making a survey of several coUtee. with the aim in view of gettio&" approxi· mately the average expenditure per year of • college girl. The fraternity girl. were asked to meet her and .he pve UI • splendid t.lk on systematizing morc perfectly the financial side of our fraternity life.
Great excitement prevailed in college last week when we found that it was pol ible (or our long-cberisbed drum, the unden! building, to be ruined in 1917 if we only work with. vim So on October twenly-first the 'Iudent body en masse took an excursion to Natural Bridge and the proceeds of the excursion were ginn to the student building fund.
In college activities we are well
The pre5ident of the student body, Laura Wood, is a n B ., .Iso the first vice-president and president of Smith Hall dormitory, Dorothy Woodward. Several of our girls are members of the "udent committu, of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, oC the editorial staff of the colleg1: annunl and the college weekly, and of the btlsket - ball ttnms.

Just a word about the freshmen-they are a remarkably fiDe crowd of girls : all kinds and prevail but many of them have individual personalities. and our girls are making some wise selections.
PENNSYLVANIA CAMMA-D1CKINSON COLLEGE
(Chartered IC}(3)
The first month of college proved very strenuous (or the members of Pennsylvania r, as it was our rushing time. For ten days freshmen haunted our thoughts by day and our dreams by night. But we feel ourselves amply repaid lor our efTorts as seven of the most attractive freshmen now wear Pi Phi pledge pins.
Not all our interest has been taken up with rashing. You may be sure there is great enthusiasm over the fine showing of Dickinson's football team. The Navy - Dickinson game 0-0, and Dickinson 26, and Albright o . After last year's disastrous season, this is enough to make ' all loyal Dickinsonians happy.
Tennis. too, takes an important place in athletic events. The Lee cup and the Wiener cup arouse the desire for the men to be· come proficient with the racquet. Next year let u s hope the longed· for athle· tics for the girls will have become a reality instead of a day-dream.
The social side of the college life has not been neglected. One of our rushing stants for the freshman girls W3S 11 party at Professor Filler's, where everybody had the best kind of a time playing games. All the dasses have given dances at Metzger HaU, with the exception of the seniors, who give a Hallowe'en party at the home of a Pi Phi. The "Meuger party" under Mis. Ege's eagle eye was not the least of the many enjoyable atrairs
But, like all Pi Phis. social festivities never interfere with studies. In order to maintain our good reputation of last year, the Pi Phis were instru · mental in putting in a clause in the rushing rules whereby no pledge can be initiated unless her grades f o r the first month are satisfactory.
If the beginning of the c ollege year foreshadows the end, this year will prove the best in the history of Pennsylvania r . ELIZABETH L. GRAHAM.

I wonder how many Pi Phis throughout the United States know that Indiana had a wonderful Cer.tennial Celebration in October. To commemorate the admitting of Indiana into the Union in 181 6, an inspiring pageant waf given showing the history of our state up to that and it5' development from then on. And almOflt every day of tho&< two weeks there was a parade each of which was repre Eenting some vital interest of the state, such as the Religious Parade, Educationa l Parade, and the County Day Parade. Butler College was asked to participate in the Educational Day Pageant and, with the majority of the school taking an interest, carri.ed ofT the honon due such an institution. That wu a busy two weeks for most of us, AI has been the rest of th e term so far.
The Satur day after school began, we pledged .ix girls who are already taking their places in school activities, and since that time, .. we have come to know them, four more girls have said yes to our spike. It is a loyal gro u l' of ten including, Hope Bedford of Indianapolis, Fay Borchers of Indianapolis, Lucille Brown of Ladog3, Frances and Helen Groff of New Bethel, Gertrude Hecker, Eleanor Pollock of Indiana.polis, Velma Rich of Goodland, and Robetta Van Andale and Helen Whitehead of Indianapolis.

Although we know our rivals got lome lovely girls, we feel as if we ha.d somet hing over" on mai y people, for we are so very well satisfied with our list of pledges.

We have ha d six weeks of rushing which closes October 25. We a re all anxious ly wai ting for it, as we hnve several splendid girls in mind. F or .o ur formal rushing party this year, the thr ee fraternities all had re ceptio ns on the same day at their respective bollSes and chapter-room.. Every nonrnlernily girl was invited. They visited all three places, got all the girls placed co rrectly, and met the alumnre. We tried a new form of rushing this year, that of having it partly open and partly closed. Rushing during the day would be closed until four o'clock From that time it would remain open until eight o'clock. All Saturday and Sunday were open. So br it has been a success.

The older girls 01 our fraternity came back filled with enthusiasm over ou r ru s hing prospects (or the yenr. Not all of last year', initiate. could come back the first semester. but we nre hoping that at least IOIIle of them will be ahle to return for the second semester. Our rushing was done in the latter part of the week before the opening of college. First we gave two very in!ormal partie., a luncheon and an afternoon tea; our real rushing party, however, came Saturd:ty nigbt. It was a dance for the chapter and the rushees at tbe house . W e dtcornted our r ooms beautifully with (erns, smilaJ:, and hanging baskell of roses . At the end of the dance there was a two-course !- upper.

Just now they are campaigning for ' a student hospital or infirmary where anyolle who has the slightest ailment may be given immediate attention if they wish. Many other colleges hue tried this plan and found it most sueceSJful.
Of course, football reigns sup reme at the present time and probably the best game of the season was plsyed against the Oregon Aggies at Portland, Oregon last Saturday-Nebraska winning by a score of .7'7, The whole student body sent the team off to Oregon with mu ch enthusiasm, the university band giving a final concert and everyone marching in the torch light parade, that we felt lure of a victory 0.11 n. reward, The Itudents sent the band with the team,

It ha, been only four ruonths since our installation. but when we think of the many events that have taken place and the information we haw: learned concerning lIB •• we can scarcely realixt that it hu been 10 short a time since nur entrance into "Pi Pbidom." We thougbt we were enthusiastic lut year wben we were petitioning but it seems that the entbusiasm manifested thi. year is & much more wholesome ODt than that of last year. \Ve are beginning to look on things in a new light. \V e are very anxious to maintain as efficiently III
possible the high .Iand.rda of n B.... We wish to exprels ODf sincere thanks to Texas A (or ber hearty coope ration with UI.
Texas B hu begun the new year with tigbt of the charter members, a splendid transfer, Mildred R osse r from Arkansas A and two of oar mOlt enthusiutic aIumnse, Mu. Dyer and Mrs. Marshall. So we have elcnD in aU in our active .chspter. Qne of ou r mt)lt capable alumnae.

Rushing season has been thoroughJy organized and we fcel lure we will get lome of the finclt girl. in the college. Pledge day has beeu set for November twentieth, 10 our rushing season lutl eight week.. This i, quite a strain on the girl. but we feel that we will be (ully repa id when pledge day comel. The girll will be pledged until Christmas, and will be initiated immediately after the holid.)'s.
The day (ollowing our instaUation, we had our first (raternity meeting at Mrs. Marshal's home. We consider ourselves very fortunate in having with us both Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Miller, our province presidenl We (elt that our little chapte r had been started off aright. The Sund!.y Dight after our first (raternity meeting was indeed a sad one for UI, u Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Msr.hal both had to leave us. Although Mn. Allen was with us just two weeks and Mrs Miller only three days, we (e1t that both o( them were ours by right•.
Our second (ormal (rflternity meeting was held in Arlington, Tnas. at the home of our president, Irma Barnes. The entire chapter was enter· tained in her home (or a most enjoyable week-.end house party in July. The ned time all of us met was in our little chapter room at S. M. U.
Oh, yel, [ must tell you o( it. Although it is not handsomely furnished. we are very proud o( our ivory wicker furniture with upholstering' aDd draperies in flowered cretonne to match. On all occasions, the Dallu alumnae are with u t. To them, Texas B is greatly indebted . We have never had the thril1ing experience of attending a cooky-shine, but we are planning an unusually aUracti ve one for Hallowe'en nigbt.
Among the honors which have come to us lately are the election of Irma Barnes to the exec utive board of Student Honor Council, and of Virginia Shumate as sophomore reprt,5C:Dtative to Student government association. AU of the girls a re taking an active part in V. W C. A., and other st udent activities.

An o ther rushing season, onc of the most su cce ssful Colorado A has ever experienced. has become history. No one ever de ni es that rushing is hud work, but we feel amply repaid for our efforts this year, in our splendid pledges. The sixteen little future Pi Phis who came to the house pledge day to cheer our hearts, and lome of them, mischievous dren, to surprise u. into the bargain, were: Henrietta Shattuck, Nancy Flemini, and Margaret Cur r y of Boulder, Colo.; Loi.

Our new set of rU!ihing rules, o ver which Panhel1enic s pent so many weary ; hdurs. worked out very well, alth ough they were different from any we had ever tried , and much more strict than heretofore. One new f ea tur e which caused co nsiderable dist ress was the expense limit fixed at fifty dollars. Never baving been limit ed in th e amo unt we could spend on rushing, we felt it little uneasy about how we w e re to manage this faU. It is rumored that the house girls subsisted on soda-crackers. or made s tealthy visits to the Co-Op between effortl to overpower some helpless little ru s hee. If they grew thin and pale through their frugality, s ur ely the outcome was sufficient to restore them to their normal s tat e o f h ea lth, for the total expe nse for our ten parties amounted to only thirty -e ight doU;rs "a nd fifty ce nts ($38.50). _ .
We were almost overwhelmed in meeting one Monday night when our president announced that there were forty Pi Phis in college. We miss some of our former members who are not her e this year, but we are glad to welcome the new ones who have co me to take their places, our four affiliates, Gertrude 'Livingston.

We are hoping -for a high place on the scholar· ship list this year and are bending all our energies to that end. For the inspiration of the freshm en, the chapter has purchased a cup upon whicb is to be engraved the name oC the girl having the highest average at the end of the year, provided s-he has been interested in at least school activity, It will Dot be long before summer is here again. bringing with it the Semi -Centennial Convention at Lake Gen eva.

In the Caduu.u of K appa Sigma we find 3. most interesting Account of the production of a university film drama. The Pralma, the senior honorary society of Washington produced a " Movi e" 3S their big feature for the annual Univee Surkuss. D ona ld Stewart, business manager of the Thyuus dramatic club at the University tells the following story of the production:
"\Vh en Pralma asked Thynus to attempt some performance at the Su r kul!, 1, of course, agreed to see that we did somethin g w orth wbile.

"The lugaestion was what I nee ded. In St. Louis liv es Mr J O. Wooster Lambert, a brother of A. B Lambert, Z, whOle enormous income from the lale of Iilterine make him finandally independent. AI a bobby Mr Lambert bas interested himself in the tnin, of mov ing pictures, and has probably the bett amateur equipment in the c:ouotry.

"There were th en just 1110'0 weekt more until tbe Surku.. My first talk wal to get a lCenario written; next, 10 tet tbe ac:ton; third , to take the pic: ture, and fourth, to pay for it.

The vote on the refcrendum resulted in a consen.us of opinion that the f01l0winl' eyents should be eliminated:
