HISTOR IES
IJI\STALLATION OF NEW YORK 6-
It was the close of a lovely June evening when the ARROW Editor, who had been appointed installing officer of New York t. by the Grand President, arrived in Itha ca . The drive through the streets of Ithaca and along the borders of the Cornell University campus was exceptionally beautiful, for both city and university were preparing for the events of Cornell's Semi -centennial which was scheduled for the following week, and lawns and flowers about private residences and college halls were a delight.
Fo rmal pledging, which was held in the organization room of Prudence Risley Hall, took place that evening and the following morning the wearers of the new pledge pins were kept busy welcoming the guests wbo began arriving early in the day. The weather was pe rfect fo r motoring and several parties came over the road. The first to arrive were Dorothy Cleveland, Bessie Wood, and Harriette Meservey of New York r, who came direct from the chapter home in Canton, N . Y., and were the guests of Clara Groh, New York r during their stay.
The party from Syracuse which arrived later included Leora S. Gray, Martha S Forbes, Esther Sherwood Bennett, Cordelia Scott Doty, Ruth Elna Campbell, Catherine Burr Teller, and Roberta C. B owen All these are members of the Syracuse alumnre club except Mrs. Doty a member of New York A now residing in Baltimore and p resident of the Baltimore alumnae club . Mrs. Teller, p r esident of the Syracuse alumnre club, is a member of Colorado A and Mrs. Bowen , of Vermont B. The party of active delegates from New York A active chapter included Carola Wyke r , Naoma Ellis, I r ma Ingersoll, Florence Roberts, Adelaide Sherwood, Celia Sargent, Mildred
Harford, and Frances Kent Gere. The delegate from Pennsylvania B, Naomi B. Lane, '19, had already arrived to visit her sister, Emily Lane, Pennsylvania B, a graduate student in the university.
Meanwhile the local alumnre under the leadership of Dr. Edith Gordon, Ontario A, had prepared the home of Dr. Matzke, medical adviser of women, for the installation ceremonies which were held that afternoon. Sarah Pomeroy Rugg, installing officer, was assisted by Dr Edith Gordon, Naomi Lane, Irma Ingersoll, and the fo.uowing members of the loca l alumna! organization: Emily Lane, Pennsylvania B j Clara Groh, New York r; Helen Heath Gage, Wisconsin A; Bertha Baker· \Vhetz el, Michigan A; and Elfrieda Hochbaum-Popc, Illinois E j the last three named being wives of members of the Cornell University faculty.
The of Dr. Edith M 3tzke long associated with California A and Pennsylvania B chap ters as patroness preceded the initiation of the members of Beta Phi. Following the ce remonies , tea was served by Dr. :Matzke and then everyone hastened to make ready for the banquet.
Dinner was served to forty including the members of New York.6., resident alumnre , the visiting Pi Phis already mentioned, and two g uests, Mrs Sampson a.nd 1\1 rs Creighton, patronesses of the new chap ter. The tables were spread on the broad piazzas of the University Club which were enclosed with wine and blue curtains. The ca ndles were shaded with fraternity co lors, and the decorations were beautiful flowers sent by loca l c hapters of nationals already established at Cornell. The dainty favors and menu cards showed the thought and energy which the loca l committee had expended on the event The parlors of the club and surrounding lawns were much enjoyed during the social hours before and after t he dinner.
Clara Groh, New York r, presided as toastmjstress and the formal list included toasts as follows: Our Flower, Josephine Sniffin, president of New York.6 j Our Colors, Emily Lane, Pennsylvania B ; Our Emblem, Evelyn Richmond, New York and Our Siste r hood, Dr. Edith Hedges Matzke, New Many impromptu toasts followed interspersed with songs and the reading of greetings from absent officers and friends
The folJowing day. the new chap ter held its first meeting and was formally organized. The day was fiIJed with leave takings as the guests reluctantly departed, though a few lingered to hear the last
steps singing of Ihe year by the Cornell Glee Club Ihat evening. Thus did ew York .6. begin her history amidst the fragrance of June roses and the good wishes of Pi Phis gathered fr om far and near.

Co rn ell Unive rsity, situated at ]tl1 aca, N. Y., owes its exis tence to the co mbined w isdo m and bounly o f the Uni ted lates, th e State of ew York, and Ezra. Cornell. U nder the Mo rrill Act of 1862 the State of New York rccei ved sc rip t representing 989,920 acres of land as its share o f th e public lands granted by the federal government to the several Slates f o r the purpose of es tablishing col leg e s of agriculture and mechanic a rts . Ezra Cornell offered $500 ,000 as an endowment fund [or a university on condi ti o n that the state should set aside the proceeds of the sale of its public land for the same purpose, and that the narrowe r purpose of the A c t of Congress in estab li shing coI1eges of agriculture and mechani c arts sh o uld be enlarged to the breadth of his own memo rable idea l: "[ wou ld found an institution where any person can find

After 1882 the university developed and e xpand ed in accordance with the original
idea of the founder . The Law School and the Andrew D. White School of History and Political Science were organized in 1887. President Schurman appealed to the state in 1892 for further aid, on the ground that Cornell, although not a state institution in th e stric t sense of the term, was educating 512 students free of tuition, and that the state was parti cularly inter ested in education, agriculture, and allied subjects for which , like the western states, it should supply the necessary funds The legislature generously respon ded t o appeal by establishing at Cornell University th e State Veterinary College, the State College of Forestry, and the State Co ll ege of Agriculture. The situation of Cornell University in a small town prevented it from adding a Medi ca l School to its departmen ts although a medical preparatory cours e has existed since its inception. In 1898 this problem was solved by establishing a medical college in the ' city of New York, with a branch at Ithaca , where the first two years of the course may be taken . Cornell University comprises the following departments and col· leges: 1. The Graduate Department, having charge of all students pursuing graduate work at the university under the several faculties. 2. The College of Arts and Sciences offers elective courses leading to the degree of A.B . 3. The College of Law offers course leading to the L B. degree. 4. The Medical College, partially conducted at New York City, confers a degree of M . D. 5. The College of Agriculture otIers course leading to the B .S.A. degree. 6. The New York State Veterinary College confers the degree of D.V.M. 7. The College of Architecture confers the degree of B. Arch. 8 . The College of Civq Engineering leads to the degree of C. E. 9. Sibley College of Mechanical En gineering and Mechanic Arts confers the degree of M.E .
The government of the university is vested in a board of thirty· nine trustees, the university fa culty composed of the professors and assistant professors, having charge of educational matters concerning the university as a whole, and the faculty of the several schools and colleges, who have charge of their respective divisions.
The number of regular students in 1912 - I 3 was 4,803 of whom 466 were women. This number increased rapidly until the outbreak of the war. In 1917-18 there were 775 women in this university. Each year the entering class of women is much larger than the previous year.

In the fall o( 1918 there were new members pledged after rushing, and co rresponden ce with Pi Beta Phi officials co ntinued. Finally, in December Mrs. Rugg visited Beta Phi as the inspecting officer. It had been hoped that she would give her formal endorsement, but she could not because the scholarship of the group was not up to Pi Phi standud.. That was her only objection, but that was enough.
The members began to work in earnest and ·Dr. Gordon with her ever-ready aid and untiring assistance encouraged all efforts with the result Beta Phi's scholarship average caxne up so fast that by the end of the second semester, March 31, 1919, the scholarship average was at a figure where M r5. Rugg was willing to endo r se Beta Phi.
Everyone was happy when Mrs Rugg's endorsement arrived and immediately a formal petition was made ready. 1his was sent to Grand Council who at lengt!h replied favorably . Arrangements were made for installation which took place June 14, 1919, with Mrs Rugg as the installing officer.
Beta Phi is always well represented in class and other activities aiming, as nearly as possible, to have each member interested in at least one activity. As New York .6. that record will continue and the scholarship record will improve.
New York .6. will never forget that it owes almost everything to Dr. Gordon for her hearty coope ration and constant aid. Miss Emily Lane, Pennsylvania B , and Miss Clara G roh, New Yo r k r, together with the local alumna:: of Itha ca also did a g reat deal for Beta · Phi and their aid is greatly appreciated by all oC the members.
INSTALLATION OF OKLAHOMA B
From the day when I received a telegram from Stillwater saying "fi fteen p , p, is elected" and translated it into "fifteen Pi Phis ex· peeted," there was no question in my mind that the installation of Oklahoma B would be an experience long to be remembered for its enlarging and deepening oC fraternity enthusiasm and loyalty, but the reality was more wonderful even than my anticipation of it had been. Local arrangements were in cha rge of Vivian Brengle, Okla· homa A, instructor at O. A. and M and loved friend and adviser of Beta Phi, and the smoothness with which every part of the installa · tion was carried on was large ly due to her splendid, untiring efficiency. To en tertain f o r three days twenty visiting Pi Beta Phis was no

The ca mpus situated on a hill looking down upon Cayuga Lake and su rrounded by gorges, falls, and cascades, is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. Prudence Risley Hall, one of the two women's dormitories, is one oC the finest of its kind in the country.
The social life at Cornell is very pleasant. There are many dances and parties which bring the men and women students together and make them good companions. Outside of the university community, among the townspeople, there exist the friendliest relations. Enter· tainments and dan ces arc given by chu rches and in private homes for the students and in return fraternities and independent groups hold teas and parties.
Fraternities among the men number fifty national and about ten local organizations. For the women there are ten nationals and one local as follows: K A 0 , established in 1881; K K r, 1883; A <1>, 1889; A 0 n , 1908; t.

HISTORY 0'" BETA PHI, Now NEW YORK DELTA OF PI BETA PHI
Beta Ppi Fraternity was founded in Cornell University in March, J 918. The members were desirous of petitioning for a charter of Pi Beta Phi at once because they realized that her ideas and ideals were the ones which they wished to attain. The group in the ning was under the direct supervision of Miss Louise Case, New York A, who gave her advice and directed the members in every movement. To Miss Case the group owes a great deal, and most heartily thanks her for her aid and assistance in its early days of preliminary petitioning, for Beta Phi began petitioning Pi Beta Phi immediately upon becoming organized.
After a short time the Beta Phis lea rned that Dr. Edith H . Gordoll_ Ontario A, who was the women' s medical advisor, was a member of Pi Beta Phi. They asked her to aid them in their great undertaking. She consented and began at once to plan and help them. She went to convention where she presented Beta. Phi's case but, as no fo rmal petition had been made, it was not voted upon. Instead the case was left entirely to the decision of Grand Council when Beta Phi should present to its members a formal petition.
small task, but OUI new chapter left in our minds no doubt as to her ability and charm as a hostess. The college dormitory for girls had been secured for our use and the real Pi Phi houseparty which this made possible was a thing which we had not expected and which we all enjoyed to the fullest extent, as you would have known if you cou ld have heard the almost all night IItal k-fest" on our last night together.•
Most of the girls-the out-of-town Beta Phis, the eighteen Oklahoma A Pi Phis, and the Arkansas A representativo>-reached Stillwater on Sunday afternoon, the eighth of August, and that evening was spent in getting acquainted and in singing and hearing Pi Beta Phi and Beta Phi songs. Monday noon, Mrs. Gray, an enthusiastic Beta Phi mother and patroness, gave a delightful luncheon, the first of the events connected with the installation. In the afternoon, the formal pledging of the ten active and ten alumna! members of Beta Phi was held. The dormitory was ideal for our need since we were able to have not only the pledging and initiation ceremonies but also our luncheon and banquet right in the building. After the long pledging service on a hot August day, nothing co uld have been more enjoyable than our automobile trip to Yost Lake, Monday evening. The lake is a beautiful one, the best in the state for swimming and rowing, and the cool, restful loveliness of it at sunset is a thing that we shall not soon forget. The swimmers were so loath to leave the water that the delicious picnic supper at President Cantrell's cottage had to be hurried through in order that we might get back to Stillwa ter for the informal porch dance given by on"! of the local men's fraternities for the Pi Beta Phi pledges and their guests. It was not far from twelve o'clock when we go t back to the dormitory but even then the day's events were not ove r. The Pi Phis had insisted that the pledges must give a )tunt" and in liv ing up to this the pledges did one of the most gracious things that I have ever seen -a thing which showed more plainly than anything else could have done just the place that these girls felt that Pi Beta Phi would hold in their lives. Beta Phi , as a local fraternity, had been in existence for almost ten years and its rituals and ceremonies were very dear to every member, · but that night the initiation was given for the last time, and for the first time before anyone not a Beta Phi, when Vivian Brengle, before the members of Pi Beta Phi, was initiated into the local organization.
Tuesday morning the Pi Phis were entertained at very lovely breakfasts at the homes of two alumnre pledges, Vinita Nelson and Cornelia James, and then hurried ba ck to th e dormitory to complete the preparations for the initiation . Because of the number to be initiated the servi ce was divided and the active girls were initiated in the morning and the alumnre in the afternoon. It is a pleasure for me to have this opportunity to express my very great appr8:iation of the loyal assistance given me by the Oklahoma A and Arkansas A Pi Phis. Although the heat was almost unbearable, these girls flstayed by" until the last. After the initiations the first meeting of Oklahoma B of Pi Beta Phi was held, when the officia l record books and supplies were given to the chap ter and a brief talk on the responsibilities and privileges of membership in our fraternity was made. Lucille Shuttee, Theta Province representative on the Committee on Examinations , spoke most interes tingly , at this time, on the examina· tion and methods of preparing f o r it.
The banquet, held Tuesday evening in the big reception hall, brought thirty -eight Pi Beta Phis together for the final event in the installation ceremonie!' , and it was fully worthy of marking the close of those inspi rational days. Greetings from the members of Grand Council, from Louisiana A, from the Oklahoma City Alumnre Club which had also sent beautiful flow e rs, from the local chapter of K d , and from othe r friends of the new cha pter were read by the toastmistress, Vivian Brengle, and toasts were given by Gladys Madigan, Lois Davidson, and Bern ice Guthrie of Oklahoma. B , Lura gale, Arkansas A, Mar y Lou Patterson, Oklahoma A, Ha ze l Beattie, Carrie Martin, Ruth Anne Hathaway, and Theresa Gibson, all of Ok.lahoma A, but representing alumnre c lubs in' various parts of the state, and by the insta11ing officer. Even after the banquet was over, no one wanted to go home so we sat for 3 long time on the steps of the dormitory singing fraternity songs and thinking, with a new realization of the possibilities of the friendships and ideals of Pi Beta Phi.

I NSTALLATION OF WISCONSIN B
All day Tuesday, August 19, Pi Phis and Pi Phis -to-be kept arriving in Beloit, until our group, the final one, came just in time to be whisked out by motor to the Country Club for dinner. This was se rved amidst the most delightful surroundings and the rooms hummed merrily as we proceeded to "get acquainted" rapidly.
From the Country Club we went directly to the home of Clara Paley, Nebraska A, '99, for the pledging service, conducted by a former Grand Vi ce-p resident , Nina Harris Allen, Illinois H, '97, rather a veteran in this line for this was her seventh installation. At the close we sang the Anthem and other Pi Phi songs and our new pledglings surprised us with their quickness to catch both refrains and words. When we suggested that they sing some of their old

X E songs, verily did that group burst into song. N ever had any of us hea:rd better chapter singing. Every girl had her share in it and several with trained voices taking the parts gave Ule whole a beauty and balance that held us as rapt listeners. A singing chapter never laeks for enthusiasm, so our hopes for the chapter are high.
On Wednesday morning, August 20, Amy Onken, Grand Secretary, initiated the twenty-one active girls at the home of Mrs. E. M. Dazey (Kathryn Clarke, Wisconsin A, '13). At one o'clock we welcomed a brief respite and enjoyed the delicious luncheon served in the Congregational Church by the local alumn"" who soon after gathered in Mrs . Dazey's home to be initiated by Anna Robinson Nickerson, Grand Vice-president. At the close of the ceremonies Wisconsin B held its first chapter meeting.
And then , all the mystery and uncertainty being behind them, and the rosy -colored future in Pi Phi a-calling them, those thirty-five girls that had been "all smiley round the mouth and teary round the eyes" turned toward the banquet at Hotel Hilton with gladdened hearts and prepared to eat the delectable things set before them and to drink in all the things about Pi Phi that visiting members told them. Sarah Pomeroy-Rugg, ARROW Edhor, acted as toastmistress. The toast list included: Greetings from vVis consin A, Joanna Hayes; Response for Wisconsin B, Active Chapte r, Eulalia Drew j Greetings from Illinois E, Margaret Anderson; Response for Wisconsin B Alunmre, Ethel Jones; Installations I Have Known, Nina Harris Allen j The Significance of National Fraternity Work, Florence Hunt Webster; National Fraternity Membership, Dorothy Alderton Kellar; The llistory of 11 B 4>, Anna Robinson Nickerson jOur Settlement School, Amy B. Onken.
Though it was late when the last toast was given we were still reluctant to separate and so we stayed for more friendly chatting and several good songs until finally we literally "wound' up" the evening by teaching the Beloit girls the Pi Phi Marching SOl/g.
Thursday morning the alumna:. again met at Clara Paley's home to form their alwnnre club and to get as much information as possible verbally before the visitors left town.
And so it was , the story run s, that X E became the sixtieth chapter of II B and the only woman's national at Beloit. The following visiting Pi Fttis were enthusiastic assistants: :Mrs. James Webster (Florence Hunt, Illinois B, '17), president of Galesburg Alumnre Club; Mrs Herbert A.

BEI.OIT COLLEGE
flom e o/lfliscOIlS;1l 11 , Inrtalled August 1919
Beloit College is loca ted at Beloit, Wis. , a manufacturing city of about 23,000 people, situated on Rock River. The co llege was founded in 1846, the result of a convention of Congregational and Presbyterian churches held in Beloit in 1844 . The early founders of Beloit were for the most part Yale men, and for years Beloit has been called lithe Yale of the \Vest ." It became coeducationa l in 1895. There have been but three presidents in the history of Beloit, a unique record Rev. Aaron L. Chapin was the first president, and he was succeeded in 1886 by Dr. Edward Dwight Eaton, Ph.D., LL.D., who held this important office until 1917. Then Dr. Melvin A Brannon, Ph .D., LL.D., former president of the Unive rsity of Idaho , accepted the presidency of the college and came to Beloit in July , 1917.
The college huildings are located on a high bluff overlooking Rock River. The campus covers about forty acres, an historic location, th e former hunting ground of the \Vinnebago Tribes, and contains about twenty Indian mounds There are seventeen co llege buildings, including a large science building with well-equipped laboratories , a library containing over 60,000 volumes, a modern gymnasium, an art hall, which co ntains many fine paintings and an unusual exhibit of ove r one hundred Greek casts, the principal exhibit of th e Greek GovernIllent at the Columbian Exposition, and presented to the college by Lucius G. Fisher, Jr" a museum containing one of the best archaeolo· gicaJ exhibits in the Middle West , the gift of Mr. F . G. Logan of Chicago, a chape l, recitation halls, a dormitory for men and three donnitories for women.
Students are admitted to Beloit only from accredited high schools. The college year is divided into three quarters, the fourth quarter being the summe r session, a system by which a student may graduate in three years, or may enter college at the beginning of any of the four quarters. The degrees of B.A. and B.S are granted for the completion of thi s work. The co lle ge docs not grant honorary de-
grees. In 1918 a new department of household arts and sciences was opened and very successfully conducted by Miss Florence Robinson, of Wisconsin A , a former Editor of THE ARROW.
Beloit College is recognized as one of the best co ll eges in the Middle West She was a cha rt er member of the Norti' Cent r al AssociatioD, and received the unanimous vote of Phi Beta Kappa some years ago for the installation of a chapter here. Such an unanimous vote has rarely been given, and i t speaks for the standing of Beloit throughout the country. Beloit is almost the only college in the M iddle West which is doing solely regular college work . Every student is doing full college work, and this gives strength to the institution.
There are at present thirty-seven members of the Beloit College faculty, twenty - eight men and nin e w omen . Twenty -one of these hold doctors' degrees , thirteen masters' degrees, and the remain der hold B.A. degrees. It is by vote of the facu lty that the women's fraternities at Beloit have now been given the privilege of petitioning for national charters. Mrs . George W. Tannahill, Grand President of Pi Beta Phi, accepted appointment as Dean of W omen a t Be loit College this year and assumed her new duties at the openi ng of the current college year.
The attendance at Beloit is gradually assuming pre - war numbers, since a large number of students who left school to enter se rvi ce a rc returning to finish their work for degrees. Beloit has had many honor students at Yale, to which many of th e B e loit alumni a r e drawn for graduate work. As a membe r of the Little Five Confe ren ce, Beloit has made a good record in athletics, th e r eco rd for this year being one of the best in the history of the co ll ege. Beloit 's record in inter· collegiate oratorical and deb ating contes ts is a brilliant one. In a period of oratorical contests extending ove r forty years, Beloi t has seldom lost the state contest, and has won more interstate contests. held between eleven states, than any othe r two schoo ls together.
The college made an unusual reco rd in war service during the period of the War. In addition to the very la rg e number of alumni , fonner students , and undergraduates in actual service, a large per cen t of whom were commis sio ned officers, B eloit trained a total of 866 men on the campus during the past year. The Vocational Units started their training work in June, 19 18, a nd con tinu ed through until the las t of December. In October t he collegiat e sec ti on of the S. A.

Some of th ese men returned t o th e United States when this country entered t he war, to reenlist , some remained in th e French Army. Twelve are kn own t o have received the Croix de Guerre. Several have been cited for the Medaille Militaire and lhe D. S. C.
Adequate social privileges a r e granted at Beloit. Each fraternity is allowed two parties a quarter at the various chapter-houses, including one formal a yea r A Panhelleni c dance is given annually by the members of the nati ona l fraternities The womens ' fraternities aTC allowed one formal a year and are granted the privilege o f infonnal parties. All -co llege dances and mixers help to promote a democratic spirit .
An association of all t'he students in the college, under the leadership of a member of the senior class, dir ects ce rtain college policies and mee ts the various problems which co nCront the student body. The women in the have a self-government association with a president elected from the senior class.
There a TC six national fraternities at Bel oi t : B 8 II , K "' , lX, I A E, II K A, and T K E. ormally these chap ters have from twenty-five to thirt y members, but these numbers have been r educed during th e past two yea r s, though they are now getting back to normal again. Th ere are thr ee loca l w o men's Greek-letter soeieties, X E (no w Wisconsi n .B ), found ed in 1905 ; @n r , r eo rganized fr o m an old er group, 1905 ; A 'i' A, 1908.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
HISTORY OF CHI EPSILON NOW WISCONSIN B OF PI BETA PHI
The Chi Epsilon Fraternity of Beloit College was founded in 1905 by seven very determined young women who werc' convinced that such an.organjzation co ul d fulfill a rea l purpose in th e co ll ege life. The founding was accompanied by all the thrills incident to a move of this kind in a college wh ere the right of such o rganiza tions to exist had been denied. No attempt was mad e to concea l the fact that Chi Epsilon had been founded, a lth oug h th e pin, a spear , was not worn openly. Persistent attempts were made to sec ure the consent oC the faculty to formal recogn iti on. This consent was given in 1908 and the two women's loca ls of Bel oi t College became r ecognized in the co ll ege life, with the understanding that no attempt be made to secure membership in a national fraternity.
With the privilege of seeking national membership denied, renewed energy and thought were given to the closer organizatio n of Chi Epsilon. Permission had been given for the maintenance of a c hapterhouse for the holding of social gathe'rin gs and meetings, a lth o ugh all non-resident women were requir,ed to liv e in the dormitories. A period of very happy fraternity life f o ll owed, but the desire for national membership was always the ultimate goal. In 1916 the faculty reconsidered the question and the organizations were told that they might petition for national charters. With our knowledge of the strength and the ideals of Pi Beta Phi , we turned to her with the hope that some day our petition for membership would be granted. We received visits from Mrs. J. Ford Allen in June , 1917, from Mrs. Spry, Provin ce President , Misses Hannah Harrington and Dorothy Grayce of Wisconsin A and Miss Lillian Capron of Illinois E in the spring of 1918, and at commencement time, 1918, the girls had their first opportunity of meeting Mrs Tannahill who was in Beloit as the guest of President Brannon and his family. It can be well jrnagined how our interest was stimulated by these con tac ts . In the spring of 1919 Mrs. Laurence, the new Provin ce President , spent several days with us in Beloit, a very delightful experience for the members of Chi Epsilon . And in June of 1919 came the wonderful news that our petition had been granted and that Chi Epsilon was to become a part of Pi Beta Phi.
The installation was held on August 19 -20. Bel oit was especially honored to number among the Pi Phi guests on this occasion three members of the Grand Council , Mrs. Nickerson, Grand Vicepresident, Mrs. Rugg, Editor of THE ARROW, and Miss Onken ,
DR. EDITH HEDGES MATZKE 141
Grand Secretary, and the Alumnre Editor of THE ARROW, Mrs. Allen of Oak Park. It was an occasion which those who were privileged to attend will never forget.
Another great honor has come to Beloit and to Wisconsin B. Mrs. Tannahill, Grand President of Pi Beta' Phi, is now our dean of women and her secretary is Miss Edith Carpenter, Catalogue r of Pi Beta Phi. Their presence among us is an inspiration. \Visconsin B of Pi Beta Phi takes her place as the first national fraternity for women in Beloit College and is looking forward to a year of real accomplishment.
DR. EDITH HEDGES MATZKE
Pi Beta Phi is indeed glad to welcome into her siste rh ood one whose name has stood high in the university circles with which she has been connected, whose interest in and with the college woman has been constant, and whose mind and heart have been given to the solving of the problems that Dleet the undergraduate woman. Dr. Edith Hedges Matzke has been associated with Pi Beta Phi since the early beginnings of California A chapter at Leland Stanford, Jr., University. As patroness of this chapter she kept in touch with the national policy of the fraternity and helped the. local chapter in many ways. Her position as medical adviser of women gave her unequa ll ed opportunities for knowing and influencing tne women students.

international reputation, Dr . Matzke came east. Her connection with Cornell University dates from t 913 when she was appointed medical adviser of women, and later, for two years, held also the position of advise r of women. During 1918 - 19 Dr. Matzke was on leave o f absence from the medical office for War Service, serving as one of the lec tur ers of the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, socia l hygiene division , section on women's work.
New York a owes much to Dr . Matzke. Ht!T T!.'Spee r for Pi Beta Phi and its standards has been evident since her first co nta c t with th e fraternity. H er belief in its ideals, and its mission for college women gave to the petitioning group the right basis f or organization. This, with her unflagging inte r est, wise co unsel , and unqualified endorsement of the group to the u niversity autho riti es aided materially in the w,inning of th e cha rt er.
Pi Phis who have met and known Dr. Matzke have been won by her delightful personality, impressed by ,her earnestness of purpose, and inspired by her spirit of servi ce which is evinced in her every word and act. Those who have known her more intilnately feel that he r broad sympathies, her trained mind, and unquenchable enthusiasm for the best interests of womankind will bring into the fraternity a new element of strength .
HONORARY SOCIETIES
By H ULL MITCHELL
Chairma1J} IVa ti ottai Scholarship Committee
(The writer has omitted from discussion all honorary societies which do not admit women to membership; a ll local honorary societies and all forensi c honorary organiz:ations. The latter have been excluded beca u se th ey do not seem to conform strictly eilher to the general or non·professional type of honorary fraternity or to the professional honorary group. \Vh e re data is lacking or cu rt ailed, it is because responsible partie s could not be reac hed,)
A freshman , filled with the joy of being a Pi Phi at last, wrote, the day after her initiation, to a young man , a non fraternity but Phi Beta Kappa man, that she was as happy and pleased in her choice as she knew he was in being a Phi Beta Kappa.
Whether or not a comparison of those respective joys is possible is not important. The significant point about the incident is that the
freshman made the mistake of placing both fraternities in the same class. Perhaps in a freshman such an eITor is not unusual. In this instan ce it mjght even be excused, for the co llege which the girl attended had no chapter of an honorary fraternity. But such familiarity with societies of the type of Phi Beta Kappa is not confined to freshmen Even juniors and seniors have confessed ignorance of the nature and purposes o f these organizati ons. And, what is far more regrettable, is the attitude of indifference which students some times display, even where honorary societies arc well known. O ccasionally this spirit of apathy is s tirred to the point of mild and casual interest in the spring, when a c hapter suddenly wonders what chances there are for at least one senior heing elected to Phi Beta Kappa or some similar organization.
This disturbing attitude of some chapters may arise from the fact that honorary fraternities have no socia l status and cqnfine their activities to commencement time or other specia l occasio ns , o r to the fact that there is no co mpetition between the general academic and honorary fraterniti es. The general fraternity seeks, in addition to good scholarship (a nd the insistence upon this is increasing each year) certain personal assets which it may utilize and direct for the benefit of other students, both fraternity and non fraternity. Chjef among these desired qualities are leadership, adaptability, and resourcefulness. The honorary fratenlity, on the other hand, seeks primarily the student who has distinguished herself in some mental endeavor. It seems to be a matter for individual chapters to decide whether or not l'hey will co nsider , as part of a student's distinction, her achievements on the campus. In other wo rds , the influence of the general frate r nity is both social and socializing , the influence of the honorary fraternity, wholly socializing.
But each type is necessary, for each serves its distinctive purpose, the former of directing and developing the undergraduate , the latter of recognizing development and encouraging furth e r specialization in the graduate. Some have felt that Iithere are too many honorary fraternities: in conflict.ing fields and their consolidation or simplification would be of benefit to all." No attempt should be made by either the academic or honorary fraternity to supplant or encroach upon the premises of one another, though occasional1y we find some local o r ganization trying to cover the whole field. Both may be mutually helpful. The position of honorary fraternities may be made
THE ARROIV OF PI BETA PHI
even stronger and membership in them may be more widely coveted if the general fraternities will strive more fait>hfully toward good scholarship and seek to educate their members in the purposes and values of the honorary fraternities A member of an honorary fraternity should be a bette r member because she also belongs to a gene ral fraternity.
It is often difficult to determine whether a. particular fraternity classed as honorary is strictly honorary or is merely professional. A number are classed as both, and still others of each type have gradually changed their character and until they invade, to some extent, the domain of the undergraduate organization. It is also difficult in some cases to distinguish between the honorary non-professional and honorary prruessional societies By way of illustration, Sigma Xi, though limited to the scientific field is non-professional while Alpha Omega Alpha, limited to the medical field, is distinctly professional. There is also the honorary fraternitYl chiefly local, which draws its membership entirely from the undergraduate body. While somewhat resembling the more or less social class societies, these often have a decided influence in stimulating students to better and more extensive work in the particular field which they favor.
Represented in the sixty colleges where Pi Beta Phi chapters are l ocated there are seven graduate fraternities general and professional, of a national honorary character and two which mayor may not be classed as honorary. Information concerning local honorary fraternities has been so incomplete that they have not been included in this article.
Foremost among honorary fraternities, in s ize and age, ranks Phi Beta Kappa , and it is especially impo rt ant because it laid the foundations upon which all of our later G r eek-letter societies were formed. At William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Va., rhe first chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established on December 5, 1776. "From the very first the Greek-letter idea was practically complete, the society having a badge, Greek mottoes, constitution, initiation and grip .. . . " For the first four years of its existence, the organization remained local, but in 1780 a chapter was established at Yale. Between the date of founding and 1914, eighty-six chapters had been installed. All of these, it must be remembered, are in institutions granting A.B. degrees, for Phi Beta Kappa's field is letters. No charters are granted. to Schools of Technology. The badge of the society is an oblong key
of gold, bearing on onc side a hand pointing to several stars, and the Greek letters 4> B K which stand for the words Philosophia Biou Kubernates, meaning Philosophy the Guide of Life. On the reverse side appears December S, 1776, the letters S. P. standing for the words Societas Philosophica and the owner's name. The fraternity publisbes a magazine called the Phi B eta Kappa Key.
The honorary fraternity ranking next in age and size is Sigma Xi. [t was founded at Cornell University in 1886 From that date until 1914 it had established thirty chapters. "The objects of the society are three fold: to encourage original investigation in science hy publishing scientific matter; to establish fraternal relations among scientific investigators; to grant membership to such students as have, during their college course, given promise of future achievement." The badge of the society is a watch chain pendant, key shaped, formed of a monogram of the letters I :: . A magazine called the Sigma Xi Quarterly is published.
In at the University of Maine, Orono, Me., the honorary fraternity, Phi Kappa Phi, was founded. It covers a field somewhat broader than most organizations of this class, in that it admits juniors and seniors from all departments of American colleges and universities, to the number of one-third of the whole graduating class. It imposes no restrictions as to the kind of degree or course of study which the student must pursue and aims to stand for lithe unity and democracy of learning." Its prime object is to emphasize scholarship and to stimulate mental achievement by the prize of membership. Its secondary object is to bind the alumnre more closely to their Alma Mater, to furnish an additional tie of college friendship, and to interest its members in the promotion of a more thorough education. Persons who have won distinction in science, literature, or education may be elected to honorary membership in the organization. From the date of founding until 1909 the fraternity had established live chapters. The badge of the society is an eight-rayed representation of the sun surrounding the earth, across which there is a band displaying the letters 4> K 4>.
Probably the youngest national honorary fraternity is Phi Sigma, founded at Ohio State University, March 17, 1915. The purpose of the society is to promote greater cooperation among students of biological sciences, the term student being used in the broad sense of one engaged in investigation and not merely in fulfilling a curriculum
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
requirement. Admiss ion to membcrshjp is fixed at the comp letion oC the junior year of a regular co urse including a biological specialization to the extent of one major. Resear ch students arc preferred, though this is not an absolute requirement. Of the five chapte rs now in existence, Alpha and Delta are th e only ones which have women members, though the fraternity constitution does not forbid or discourage their election. The sodety issues a publication called The Biologist. It is devoted to original papers by members, abstracts of papers published elsewhe re by members, personal news notes, and official information concerni,ng the fraternity. Owing to the disruptions during the war, no national conclave was ever held. The publication of the magazine was also suspended for this period. The badge of the society consists of a plain gold key with the letter <l> superimposed upon the letter::f:. It is issued only through the Grand Chapter. Prospective chapters are voted on by all chapters after due inspection of crede ntials officia lly furnished by the school in which the petitioners are located.
The preceding organizations are distin c tly of the honorary nonprofessional type. In addition to them there are two which seem to lie on the border ] ine between the non-professional gro up and the professional group of the honorary class. In each of these cases, some authorities give one status and some another. Some have also classed them not as honorary fraternities at all, but as pure professionalorganizations. I refer to Omicron Nu and Pi Lambda Theta. The former was established at Mi chigan Agricultural College, East Lansing, Mich., April 16 ,1912. The name of the fraternity is taken from the Greek meaning lito manage a household," Its object is to further home economics and schola rship among students. Juniors and seniors are eUgib le to member5hip. The basis of the constitution is the same as that of Phi Beta Kappa. An effort was made to obtain more detailed information regarding this sode ty but no response was received.
Pi Lambda Theta is an honorary fraternity, for women only, in schools of education. Prior to July, 1917, there were seven different societies with simi lar aims but not bound together by any organization. However, during that month representatives from the societies in the Universities of Missouri , Minnesota, Kansas, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Syracuse , and \Vashington , met at the University of Missouri and fonned the national honorary society of Pi Lambda
HONORARY SOCIETIES
Theta The purpose of the organi zation is to promote the teadling profession and requirements for election to membership are recognized high scholarship and professional ability. When the prospective member has had no actual experience her success in practice teaching is the guide and measure of her professional ability. At present there are only the seven original chapters.
Foremost among the national honorary professional fraternities is Alpha Omega Alpha. It was founded at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Chicago, in 1902 and admits to membership only those of the medical profession. From its very inception the zation has admitted women to membership on the same basis as men. This fact IS worthy of note, f or the growth of the coeduca· tional idea in medical schools has been very slow. Even today many of our prominent institutions will not admit women in that department. Alpha Omega Alpha is not a social organization. It seeks primarily and chiefly to elevate the standards of medical practice by encouraging research and cooperating with other agencies in ree · ognized medical movements. It is organized somewhat along the lines of Phi Beta Kappa but its actual workings are in the hands of undergraduate members, subject to the approval of the faculty. Election to membership is based upon high scholarship. The badge of the society is a gold watch key displaying !!he letters A 0 A and the date 1902.
Theta Sigma Phi, an honorary journalistic fraternity and Alpha Epsilon Iota, medical, admit women only to membership. The former organization was founded at the University of Washington in 1909. Its purpose is to recognize ability among women specializing in journalism. In 1913 there were five chapters. The badge is a gold linotype matrix displaying a torch and the letters ® :E <1>. This o rganization is classed by some as a general professional society instead of an honorary professional society. Extensive information conce rning it$ workings is lacking, in spite of efforts to obtain data. Alpha Epsilon I ota was founded at the University of Michigan Medical School, February 26, 1890. The society publishes a maga· zine called TI,. Journal.

For the l ast tw o years the personality of Katherine Ropes, who died Frid ay morning, September :16, nt h er h ome in Tucson, hIlS influenced directly or in· directly a. luge circle of sludents at the University of Arizona. She registered with us in the au lumn of the year 1917. and 'became known to the en tire studul body as th e writer of the libr etto {or th e successful and much-quoted FDU Frolli , n time ly operetta combining interest in world afl'ain and local condi tions with i rresistible humor.
During the year 19 17- 18 Miss Ropes took an nctive part in co ll ege life, She was an ardent member of Pi Beta Phi fraternity; she tn Tilt Wi/dral, was a of Sock and Buskin Dramal'ic C lub, a.,d the W ranglen, and club spi rit of enthusi-astic ininto the classroom. She did distinguished work in the sbort-story course and in the l ite r ature classes of which she was a member.
Last year, though a citizen in Stevenson's "Co unt erpane Country," Miss Ropes continued in s.pirit and interest a member of our comm unity a lertn ess to ideas made conversation with her stimu lative and and her sunny south porch was the center for many of those discussions of college afT airs and classroom teaching that to experience and instruction educati ve and vital.

THE
MACI C CASEMENT
IIC harmed magic casements, opening on the f oa m of perilous seas, in fa.ery lands forlorn."
For Keats, it was the n ig htingale which opened that "magic casement." For me, it is th e number of things of which this world is full.
Some people enjoy th ose things they have, but I enjoy the things I have not; so that my magic casement is a wide one.
A mod e m and pedagogic delinition of work and play gives the lirst as an unpleasant means to an end; th e second as a means, so pleasant in itself, as to be its ow n chief end.
All joy is incidental; it should be so. It does not come by seeking. But the greatest of all joys is the by-product from doing successfully, for a living wage, the work we love best of all others in tht: world. Then the pursuit of the ideal becomes an idyll.
My magic casement leads into the lives of others. Though I am a uLie-a-Bed Lady," through my friend, a society girl, I haunt the cafes and tM dansants of New York. I know that one may enter the Cascade Room at the Biltmore, and other enchanted realms only through the sesame of "evening dress." (Those magic words. I have never worn a real one in my life.) I have II rurn bledy-rumbled" down the Board Walk at Atlantic City. I have spent $7 a day (it takes my breath) for a room alone.
But when hot weather comes, and the wind from the desert is blazing light and heat, I turn to my friend, Mr. Kipling, whom I have never met. I take the stifling journey with c'WiIliam, the Conqueror,'" to the south of India. And the Uclicking scorpions" in William's house console me for the creepy ones in mine. Kipling could ma.kl: even scorpions attractive j or at least adventurous.
Clouds are gathering, and all through :Tune the air grows heavier and heavier. It is unbearable. I believe it was from the green of English conntry houses that Kipling LOVED his India. What I need is contrast!
'So I turn to R. L. S.; I take that chilly, soggy trip with Alan and David through Scotland. And even the cold, wet oatmeal, even the foggy, freezing days seem good to me. I would have "liked it fine, David."
Early in June, I read Hugh Walpole's USecret City." Every night, when I went to bed, I lay in Durward's room, looking out on th\! waters. And I felt the secret tempestuous foolishness that is Russia j the unreasoning, passi<?nate impulses that make of every soul, Russian or otherwise, a IISecret City."
The fascination of Russia; of the Far East J I have dreamed of intrigues with immobile Chinese princes, of carnivals of love at cherry· blossom time in Japan.
How I long to cross the seas J Or, if that cannot be, I should like to cross the street. A block away, there is a dance going on j I hear the strains of Bt'fIuli/ul Ohio from here. It is only a "jitney dance" with a player piano, playing one of the rythmic, monotonous melodies which sweep across the continent each year. Last summer

it was the year before Poor Bulin-fly. But there is an ache in it, a poignant longing for something indefinable; not merely love, nor spring, nor even youth . Perhaps it is the promise of life. I should like to be in it!
And yet my friends go to dances, and their 'hearts ache because their Heart's desires are not atte ntive. But the dance I attend, in c ounterp ane country, is perfect, a n d the handsomest prince at the ball p lays with Cindere lla .
My friends' dances, their pretty clothes, their trips, are all "salvage" to mc. I gather them up unscath ed and none of the "work," the IImeans to an end," mars my enjoyment.
For to him that hath-imagination-shall be added eve r ything.

THE NATIONAL PANHELLE IC CONGRESS
The sixteenth National Panhellenic Congress was ca1led to order by the Chairman, Mrs. Mary Love Collins , in the reception room of the New Willard H otel at nine o'clock Thursday morning, October 16. Representatives from the eighteen Congress fraternities were present and responded t o roll call. The morning was devoted to routine business and a reading of delegates' reports. A Findings Committee was appointed, which was to hring in recommendations at the last session.
The Chairman then gave a brief resume of the Boston situation, where Tri Delta had been out of local Pan hellenic for two yea rs . She stated that the matter had at last been adjusted in the local Panhellenic by compromise measures on both sides. A statement concerning Newcomb gave hope that the faculty committee working with alumnre may solve the difficulties by providing a Panhellenic Lodge, which will be under faculty supervision and offer a local meeting place for all. Mrs. CoIlin' then referred to the findings of the Y. W. C. A. Conference in New York, which the democracy of the fraternity organization. In reply to this, Mrs. Collins had given another definition of democracy which was: "That true democracy is as much opposed to autocracy in organizations as in nations." As an outgrowth of this discussion a very important fact was hrought out, namely, that today thinking women who have knowledge of funda·

menta.l principles must be at the head of fraternities, and that one of their objects should be to arouse their fraternity members to broader issues than that of choosing new members.
A repo rt on City Panhellenics showed a very large amount of war work accomplished by all, and a desire on the part of many to continue some form of philanthropic work.
The report on the relative proportion of fraternity women to non · fraternity shows a relatively dec reasing percentage of the former at the large state universities of the co untry. For example at the Uni· versity of Califo rnia on ly twenty·Co ur per cent of the women students are fraternity wom en, and only ten per cent at the University of Cincinnati. Either more fraterniti es must be established at such institutions or the inevitable result of this situation will be felt in a few years.
Almost an entire session was given up to a discussion of the high school fraternity question. It was brought out that all fraternities had offended by b r eaking this rule, and that if anything was to be accomplished all must agree to stand by the compact of 1915 or aba ndon it altogethe r. After a l engthy discussion it was moved, seconded, and carried that the Contract of 1915 be interpreted as applying to all o rg anizations bearing the Greek name. It was further moved, seconded, and carried that it is the opinion of this Congress that the Greek - letter ruling applies only to Greek-letter organizations in high schools public or private. After appointing a committee to take care of the publicity conce rning the action of N. P. C. on thi s question of high school fraternities, the session adjourned for a Round Tabl e on the subject of Vocations led by Dr. Hopkins, President of Z T A, who has just returned from a year's service in France in the Medi cal Department. The Round Table brought out the need for vocational guidance and training in college, and was followed by a statement of the work done by each fraternity in the war. It is hoped that a pamphlet giving an account of this work may be compi led in the near future so an accurate enumeration of th e same will.not be attempted here.
A Round Table on Ethical Standards was, conducted by Mrs Henry, President of A and was followed by a Round Table discussion concerning the college and the fraternity led by Kell er , IT B 4>. Dean Wilbur of George Washington University addressed the meeting and proved to the satisfaction of all that the fraternity is a democratic institution just as the American college is a democratic

institution, the fraternity having arisen to meet a need of the college. At five o'clock the session adjourned in order that the members might attend a tea at the K K r House for War Workers in Washington.
The Saturday morning session took up the recommendations of the Editors' Conference, and heard the report of the Findings Committee, one of the recorrunendations of which was that a. resume of this Conference should be published in a bulletin of N. P. C. While the results of the Conference are intangible rather than definite there was a distinct impression of hannony and a desire to cooperate on the part of all delegates which is a good omen for the future.
Nearly three hundred members of the eighteen Congress fraternities sat down to the Panhellenic luncheon at the Wardman Park 11}", Saturday afternoon. The address of the occasion was given by Mrs. Raymond Robins, Presjdent of the National \Vomen's Trade Union League. Her plea was for democracy and the rights of wOmen in a democracy. This proved a fitting close to a very delightful conference the underlying theme of which had been constructive work for the coming era of peace in America.
MAY L. KELLER, National Panlullenic Delegate.
THE BDITORS' CONFERENCE
The conference of edHors of the eighteen Panhellenic fraternity journals which is always called in connection with the Panhellenic Congress held its first session at the New Willard Hotel in Washington on the evening of October 15 preceding the opening of the Congress sessions. Miss Florence Armstrong, retiring editor of The Lyre of AX 0, the Chairman, announced that the first item of business was the election of a secretary for the present meeting who would also serve as chainnan for the next Editors' Conference . Miss Arema O'Brien, editor of The Lamp of Delta Zeta, was elected.
After the reading of the minutes of the last conferen ce, program previously outlined was taken up. This consisted of the discussion of various topics of practical interest to those engaged in magazine work. Each discussion was led by an editor to whom a particular topic had been assigned in advance .
The second session of the conference took place on Thursday eve· ning when the remaining topics of discussion were considered and various recommendations to the Panhel1enic Congress discussed. Unfortunately none of these recommendations Tc<'cived the unanimous
vote necessary for Co ngress endorsement but they met with the approval of a majority of the delegates and ill is hoped that the work done in this Editors' Conference has laid the foundations for a constructive program in the future .

SIGN IFI CANT STATISTICS
As indicated in OUT Panhellenic Delegate's report one of the most significa nt points brought out at the Congress was the fact that th e ratio of fraternity women in proportion to non fraternity women was a steadily decreasing one in many colleges. The statistical table compiled by a committee of which our own delegate was chairman is the result of an investigation made at the request of the Fifteenth Panhellenic Congress into a situation which was there suspected but not proven.
The figures collected are based on returns from thirty-three colleges and universities, all who responded to the questionnaire submitted.
I . Number of women students varies from forty -three at Adrian College to 2,93 1 at University of California.
2. Number of fraternity women varies from twenty -six at Adrian College to 704 at University of California, the second highest being at Syracuse University with 455 fraternity women.
3. Number in a chapte r varies from twelve at Bethany College to thirty-nine at the University of California and thirty-five at Syracuse University with twenty-two as an average.
4 The average percentage of fraternity women to non fraternity women is about 33' 1, %.
5 . The total number of fraternity women from thirty-three colleges is 4,908 out of a total enrollment of 14,787 women.
6. Average size chapter compared to total enrollment in instituttion is highest at St. Lawrence University where the percentage of fraternity women is 71 or 74 out of a total 103 and lowest at the University of Cincinnati , Florida State College, and the University of California with a percentage of ten, twenty , and twenty-four, respectively.
(Statistics of this year from the universities of Minnesota and Wisconsin would place them in the same class with University of California.)

EDITORI ALS
THE STATISTICS PUBLISHED on page 168 deserve serious study by all fraternity members, particularly th ose who have from time to time been prone to criticize the policy of extension which has characterized all fraternities in recent years. The rapid growth of all educational institutions during the past decade and the phenomenal increase in the number of women registering' in all co lleges during the last four years has resulted in a great increase in the number of petitioning groups all over the country. Wh ere fraternities are al· ready fostered and approved by the co llege authorities the administration generally declares itself in favor of a large r rep resentation of Greek- letter organizations in order that there may be equality of opportunity f or membership , a state of affairs which cannot exist where the number of chapte rs is not proportionate to the enrollment o f the institution . AI the National PanheHenie Congress held in Chicago in 1917 this situation was brought to the attention of the delegates by a dean of
women in a large state university who urged the need of more nationals entering the institution where she was located. Feeling that the conditions described in this particular case must exist elsewhere and that the ratio of fraternity women was a steadily decreasing one in proportion to the nonfraternity women, the Congress appointed a committee to investigate the matter. The report rendered to the recent Congress proves that the suspected conditions actually exist.
At the close of the last college year there was only one large institution in the country, the University of California, which had local chapters of all the eighteen Panhellenic fraternities and the last chapter which made the number complete had been installed only a few months. At present, however, there are a number of institutions with a total enrollment warranting this full representation.
This subject received serious attention at the recent Panhellenic Congress held in Washington with the re sult that National Panhellenic has inaugurated a movement to foster a new national and to encou rage more nationals to enter large and growing institutions. A fter studying the problem thoroughly in the light of chang ing educational conditions, no fair-minded woman can fail to realize that a policy of conse rvative extension at the present time is not only desirable for every Greek-letter organization but is really necessary as a means of self-preservation.
ANTIFRATERNITY AGITATION
is always with 115. It assumes various forms and manifests itself in different ways, generally reflecting the spirit of the times and of the locality in which it appears. In these days of world-wide unrest when radicalism and bolshevism are common words on every tongue, it is not strange that the newest fonn of anti fraternity sentiment should be associated. with these modern movements. It has been a maUer of comment among fraternity leaders during the past year that the most serious difficulties along thi5 line have arisen where malcontents in th e undergraduate membership have succeeded in influencing fraternity members and have poisoned their minds with the false doctrines of the times.
Since undergraduate Chapters reflect the life and spirit of their home institutions just as those colleges, in their turn, refl ect the life and spirit of the world at large, the following editorial which appeared in a recent number of the Christian F-J"ald deserves co nsideration.
THE ARROW OF PI BErA PHI
BOLSHEVIST TEACHING
I n a. recent islae the .A ",er-iedn Lumber",tJlI of Chicago discusses the spread of Bolshevism, Unot among the foreign element, but among our own sonl and daughters " It has learned that there arc on the faculties of some of our colleges and universities professors "whose deliberate purpose it is to bring about in the United State. condi tions such as today obtain in Russia," and that in some cases they arc there "with the full knowledge and approval of the college authorities." This last assertion would seem fairly borne out by the evidence th e Lumberman presents relative to an institution in Indian a enro lling 800 sludent.. Several of tbe instructors. it states make no KC rd of their sympathy with Bolshevist doctrines, and the head of the insHtution seems to have been more than f avorable to their attachment t o the teaching faculty, although fully informed of their revolutionary tendencie s.
\Vhil e our government is busy counteracting Bolshevism in the slums, it should turn its attention to those colleges where American youth are being led, by subtl e methods, to the adoption of radical princip les which may be fraught with danger in the future. W e have the fashionable parlor Bolshevist, the adroit Bolshevist in lit erature, and the vulgar Bolshevist, whose methods bring him more quicll:ly into contact with the authorities than the others; but it is a new experience to be assured that there are in American co lleges, which have hitherto stood well in the esteem of the people, those who seell: to indoctrinate the st u dents with the vagaries of Marx and Lenine instead of pointing thun to the high ideals of the great minds which founded this republic and gave to the nation n charte r of freedom which has become a model for the world. How would the generous patrons of education who have given millions to found and establish our colleges regard such institutions now, if they could know the facts that are coming to l ight? The LumbermaN has done well in bringing this situation to the notice of the public 11 is a case of poisoning the pure stream of education at the fountain -head.
From her own r ecent experience in visiting colleges and univ ersities and listening to classroom lectures, the Editor of THE ARROW feels that there is a basis of truth in the assert ions made above. The college student today needs the ability to think clearly and sanely, t o maintain a sense of balance and proportion so that he may discriminate for himself whether the doctrines taught him have a basis of so und reason Then, in a few years, he may be able to bring to society a new element of sanity and stability which the present age sorely needs. Every fraternity chapter has before it now the oppo rtunity to encourage the development of these vital qualities during undergrad9.te years .

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Health Program concerning which announcement was made in the October issue has been prepared by Dr. Edith Matzke and Dr. Edith Gordon and will be sent to all clubs and chapters in the near future. Recent history has proved that it is the patriotic duty of every American woman to give individual attention to health questions. All women are being given general information along health lines but it remains for private organizations to furnish specific programs. Pi Beta Phi is fortunate to number among her members two experts along the line of health problems who have made fulfillment of this project possible.
The new Fraternity Study is now in press and will soon be ready for distribution. Miss Woodman, Chairman of the Conunittee on Fraternity Study, has worked untiringly to furnish up-to-date and definite information in this pamphlet.

Our first party, in the form a miniature circus, rivaled the famous B. T. Barnum's performance. The refre shments were those usually procured inside the "big tent"-pink lemonade, ice cream cones, and peanuts.
Our next entertainment, a Hallowe'en party, will be held at Lois Bartlell's home in Richmond. fifteen miles away, and we are hoping the shades of all our II <It sisters may be with us to help make the evening a success

We meet the new girls under the supervision of a. Panhellenio Association. This year's rutes are different front those' of previous years, Instead of the predominllnce of afternoon teas with one or two parties as before, we now have informal evening parties the first week, and the remaining two weeks consist mainly of dinner pDrties. As pledge day is not until October :1S, we can say nothing definitely as to results.
Perhaps you would be interested to know that the men's fraternities here have adopted organized rutes under an Interfraternity Association.
As most of us have had little experience in getting new pledges, two of onr members. Alice Street, '19, and Mllry Wheeler, '21, visited the chapter at Syracuse during the bidding senson there, and recently three of the Syracuse Pi Phis visited us to help us.
\Ve regret thalt Grace Blauvelt , '21, did not return this fall, but we are anticipating baving her again next year.
Dr. Edith Gordon of Ontario A, our "fairy godmother," is with us for this week--end. She is accompanied by Dr. Edith Matzke of our own chapter, who has been with her at Philadelphia.
We have not many honors to report at present, hut we expect soon to give more time to college activities. We hope to be represented on the basketball team this winter. One of the girls is women's assistant business manager on the Cornell Daily Sun, a member of the Associated Press. Another one is on the women's editorial staff of the same newspaper; while another is fire chief, quite an honor, as she has charge of all fire drills in one of the women's dormi· tories. We are also represented on a Y. W C. A. committee We have a point system for honors at Cornell, and all the above mentioned honors count toward election to a senior honorary society.
With best wishes.

Our co llege year has just started and we are going to strain every effort to make it the best possible. In the spring londitions were very unsettled and,
altbough the "flu" was over, the S. A. T. C. disbanded. we had the anti· fraternity agitation.
Thil continued until the matter was taken to President Swain. After considering the matter he wrote letter in "bich he said that the last year had been .. very unfair ODe in which to judge the fraternities and be suggested that all discussions be dropped {or a year. He det:ided that there should be no faU house parties for the freshman and no social entertainments nor attentions (or them by the fraternities.
It seem. very stran2e to us not to h.\e those first few days of strenuous competition. Howev er, in this way, we will get to know the freshmen much better and will be able to see what they are capable of doing. The bids are II') be lent to the girls, lhrou8'h a neutral person, the day before the ClIristmas vacation begins. When college reopens the answers are to be sent to us.
The activities which wne pushed aside during the war are now coming bad, into existence. The girls' glee club has been and the departmental clubs now have meetings. We are hoping that these clubs will pro,'e a benefit to aU of us and that the non fraternity girls will be better satisfied because of them.
The local organization of A e 0, which was founded in 1917, became :l chapter of the. M in September, making the sixth national fraternity at Swarthmore.
It seems o ur good forlune 10 affiliate every year someone from another chapter. This term the Schellinger sisten of Pennsylvania r are with us.
Despite the disturbances and misfortunes in college last year we were able to keep up our work in scholarship. In June we had the highest average of all the fraternities. For two years we h!lve stood first, and if we keep up our good work, we will get the Pan hellenic scholarship cup at the end of this year. This cup is presented by one of our alumnae to the fraternity having the best average in scholarship for three successive years.
We are working hard to keep Pennsylvania .A at Swarthmore and we feel 5ure that conditions will be better this year.
We wish you all the best of luck_

This year Dr. Emery Hunt ass umed his duties as presiden t of B ucknell. The advent of the new president has, quite naturaJly, brough t about many chang!. It has taken us a little while to accustom ourselves to these innovations, which we feel are for the best interests of the univenity.

The freshman class of about one hundred girls looks very promising . On the evening before college opened, we had a party in the ''''IT suite" for the freshman girls. tn this way we always hope to make the girls feel more at home and to give them a chance to become better acquainted.

We are entering the second year of our history, and are resolved to make it prosperous and successCul.
"Pitt's" provision Cor women students has alway. been more or less inade· quate. For some time past, our local Panhelh:nic association and other organizatlons interested in the welfare of "Pitt" have realized the need of an activities building for the girls. They realized however, that a dean of women was a far greater need. eu you imagine how happy we were when these two longed for and hoped for needs were granted us.
First of all, I must tell you about our new dean of women, Miss Amos, who comes from the University of Kansas, and speaks very highly of the Pi Phis there. Last year she took the dean's course at Col umbia University. She is strongly in favor of fraternities and is at present investigating housing conditions. She desires every fraternity to have a house. She is urging our Panhellenic to undertake some constructive problem for the coming year. Dean Amos is a member of 4t B K and II A e, honorary fraternities.
Our new activities house. the building donated by Mr. Heinz of Pittsburgb, is frame, and modelled after the bungalow type. It has a large reception room and a number of s maller rooms. The whole building is furnished very attractively. At first, it was rumored that the building would have to be given Over to the use of the S. A. T. C.• but the girls took immediate posJession of it. to prove their apprttiation and need for it.
Ju.t six weeks after its completion, a dreadful calamity happened. Our beautiful building burned to the ground. For a few weeki we were di.· heartened, but our hopes brightened" when we saw another new building going up. a little more atiraclive than the form er o ne. Tomorrow afternoon Panhellenic is giving its annual tea for the new girls at the tlCtivities house.

Work has begun again at Ohio State with a much increased enrollment, and campus activities have resumed the vigor of pre·war times. With the return of old scholars and the coming of new ones, activities on the campus are very likely, and the old State spirit is again coming into its own.
To meet the needs, in the way of new instru c tors and additional laboratories (or the seven thousand enrolled. an emergency fund, to the extent of $6,000 was obtained from the State Legislature.

men, the largest class which has entered for & number of yean. With such materia} to choose from, rushing could not rail to be a great success and we are proud of our twelve Dew girls. They are as fine as there are. Our Pan hellenic rules have been quite succusful and there have been few changes.
The dormitory is crowded, as is our house. There was urgent need for a n dormitory, and Judge William E. Ambler of Cleveland, Ohio, came to our aid by purchasing a large house, near the campus to be used as a home for the girls, and later to be turned over to the Domestic Science department for its home.

The type of girls has never before been equalled and with such lovely freshmen. we expect to find splendid material.

Our province president, Oliva Kellar Lawr ence, Minnesota A, '16, has done a great deal to help us in choosing good, substantial girls, and much of our success i. due to her efficient supervision.
Many college activities, abandoned during the war, are being resumed. An nnnua.t atrair, called a "Pep" meeting, was held on the campus shortly after the university opened. The program consisted of a parade, a bonfire with dancing and singing, and fin!llly speeches in the armory by th e president and faculty members. This meeting was held to revive the old "spirit" and w as successful from every standpoint.
Because the college year started late, and becau se local Panhellenic pledge day is so late, we are unable to tell you of Pi Phis in activities, and the names of our pledges.
\Ve are anticipating a successful year and wish the same to all other chapters.

The unusual number enroUed in the university this year meant a great deal of splendid material. Indeed, we were forced. mu ch to our regret, to limit our choice of girls to sixteen. It was a difficult task to pick sixteen girls from a possible two hundred. It was necessary to do thi s, however, because of the siu of our chapter.
With the return of several of our old girls, our chapter numbers thirtytwo. In addition to the active chapter, we have eleven fine transfers: Marion Thrush. Nebruka B; Mae Rush and Dorothy Jack so n, Colorado A; Lucile Curtis and Carolyn Steadman, Illinois E; Florence Smither, Texas B; Beth Stuart, Iowa r j Edith I.e Claire, Tn A; Annine and Doris Evans.

Missouri B and Washington liniversity have se ttled down to pre -war condi· tiODS. No! I don't mean pre -war conditions, yet something very different from the past two years. The campus seem hardly large enough to accommodate the scores of students that wander about between cla sse s, and the classrooms are filled to overflowing with those attending lecturef;. There is a spirit of enthusiasm and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of upep" in everyone that surpasses that of any other year.
In getting pledges we were very su ccessful. True it was long-two weeks of limited and two weeks of unlimited entertaining in which the big 'parties came mostly at night while the days were filled with getting acqUAinted with individuals-but at the end of it we pinned the arrowhead on fourteen fiDe girls. We are proud of them as they llre splendid. a.ll·round girls, and, if we were enthusiastic about tbem at first, we are even more so now that we know them better and have seen them in real campus life.
In addition to these Pi Phis-tD""be, we have ten new initiates to introduce to the fraternity at large. They materially strengthen OUT chapter which found itself somewhat deptet'ed after losing seven girls by graduation last -June Then, too, we are glad to welcome two transfers, Allene Stephenson, Missouri r. and Eda Lincoln, Missouri A.
Everyone-pledges, actives, and alumnae (who bave planned a series of bridge parties for the benefit of the Settlement School). has entered into every thing that comes to hand with sucb interest and enthusiasm tbat the coming year promises to be a banner year for us.

Pledge nay-Second Semester (exact day not fixed)
This year at Drury is one filled with many new situations and new people, among the most pleasing of whom is our new dean of women, Mrs. Schwenke
(Do Do A. of Ohio State Unh'crsity). She is already a general favorite, and everyone feel. that she will assist in making the college year a great sDecelS. We are also honored in havin& another French girl this year who is proving to be quite popular and & splendid student.
The new situation which has created morc excitement and interest and which has caused more strange adjustment. of fraternity life is the adoption (by unanimous vote of local Panbellenic) DC a ltCond-semcster pledging and sophomore initiation ruling. Just before college opened, there was .. rumor that the faculty was thinking oC suggesting luch a ruling. After discussing it in our meetings, we decided tbat it was 3D c:r;celtent plan, so Missouri r took the initiative in calling s meeting oC {uternity women with the dean to discuss the question. It seemed that we were the only ones in favor of it at first; but, after extended arguments, it was decided to "try it out" for a year. So far. it seems to work splendidly; we all believe that it will surely make a finer college spirit as well as stronger fraternitie..
One o( the biggest things which has happened in our college circle this fall is that the Obelisk (raternity men, who have long been petitioning Sigma Nu, have at tast obtained their charter, and will be installed.
We are rejoicing over the recent pledging of Elta Williams, whom we hope to make lIone of us" soon She is a senior and president of Y. W. C. A.
Our Pi Phis are well distributed among the different literary clubs, dramatic clubs, Y W C. A. duties. choral and glee clubs, college paper and annual staffs, also assistantships, and various other activities, so that (together with six days a week in college) we are kept pretty busy.
\ Ve a.re expecting n visit (rom Mrs Sigler, our Province President, sometime soon, and are anticipating a great deal of (un at that time, since we learned to love her last spring.

The University of Colorado optned with a registration of nearly 2,000, the largest ever known. The freshman class is enormous (comparnlively but. althou&h it was • problem for a time bow they were to be housed, fed. and taogbt. everything about them seem. to be settled now ex:cept their iDdomitable spirit, commonly known as "pep!'
This quality, moreover, i. not lacki.ng in th e older students, a:J witness the (act that some eight or tcn hundred of them traveled {orty·six miles to back tbeir team in the first football game of the KUaD.
But to return to the freshmen, fifteen of them are now wearing the "baby IT +" pin. OC these, Mildred Clarke was pledged last March at Newcomb Colle&e, La., and was re-pledged to us. (We wish to congratulate Louisiana A on her excellent taste in pledges!) Colorado A seems fated to be a large chapter. Our chapter-house is sometimes referred to by certain irreverent gentlemen on the campus as "the home oC the 57," partly, perhaps, because Pi Phi. had 57 chapters, but more probably because OUT number is not so Car below that, counting, of course, our new pledges. A few girls besides our six graduates did not return to us this year, but we think it a fine testimonial to n 410 loyalty and interest that we have with us thirteen senion and some fifteen juniors.

1 wonder if eevr a thought so rare c ame into the hearts of our sisters to share , as that of a new little sisler we've found , whose life and suceeu to u" h encefo rth are bound. YOu see autumn days always make me feel poetical anrl the best remedy for such moods is to take it out on my own sisters. But YOI1 really couldn't help sin b , iog a song of joy when you cast onc look upon our pledges. We're so pro ud of everyone of them, and we h ave just the right in all.
Esther Biggs was our lonely litde pledge {rom last year, but we're count· ing her in with the new girls, who ue Ruth Brinker, Esther Daubenspeck, Muriel McLagen, Virginia Shattuck, Aurelia Tr auger, Dorothy Tucker, Dorothy Ward, and Dorothy Zabeler You will hear many and varied good reports from everyone of them during their college career.
You remember last year th e pllssword about this time seemed to be "the flu" but things and events at present are certainly making up for all the deficiencies in the past. On Nevember I, we give our Hallowe'en dance at Montclair Country Club. 'Ve 'll renew our youth again, for we are not going to wear our best evening dresses this time. Then just this week tbe interfraternity dance has becoipe a fact instead of a possibility, and it is to be November 10 at El Jebel. It will be a good way to usher in tbe firs t anniversity of our great victory, and everyone of us is eagerly anticipating the event.
This week we are giving a reception at the bungalow in honor of th e faculty, the city panhelJenic council and the Greek·letter fraternity girls of the university. They say that distance lends enchantmen t, but I am sure it is not the case with the faculty, and we all want to become better acquainted with them.
The younger contingent of our chapte r ce rta inly has an exceSS amount of ambition and pep, and it is beginning to make us older girls sit up and take notice, when we realiz.e the fact that the two sec retaries oC the Cresh·
man and IOphomore c1:uses an Pi Phis, Mildred Goldsworthy holding that office for the class oC ':32, and Dorothy Wnd for '23. Not that we mind in the least, but only hope the future holds {our n + IeCretaries instead of two. Selfish? Mercy, no!
The girls are trying upecinlly hard this year to be democratic in coUtee and be as representative in every line of college activities :u possible. There are Pi Phj. in the drama club. the two literary societies. the big sister oreanuation, Y. W. C. A.• the annu:11 board, and numnous othersoh yes, athletics. That'. too impOrtant an item to be left out, especially when so many of u s are interested in it.

Te as .A is anticipating splendid college year. The university bu opened with an enrollment of nearly 3.700 students. We feel that our 6fteen pledges arc very fine an -round girls. We are expecting great things oC them all. Some of them are going to work on college publications, while tbe others intend to do social service work.
\Ve have had open house twice this year, to our young men friends. Since there are always so many continually coming and going at open house, we decided to ha ve a little tea last Sunday afternoon, so that OUT freshmen might become better acqua.inted with our friend.. It wu 50 su ccessful that we decideJ to have one of these teas every month.
A week 8g0 we had formal pledging and initiation. Later we had. most rldight(uJ cooky-woe for our alumna:, initiates, and new pledges. While we were feasting, we lang our favorite n • lOng.. Everyone caught the spirit and sang with pep and enthusiasm. The cooky shine was followed by the most clever vaudeyille performance we ha"e ner had. All of the talent of fraternity was featured in the several act., which varied (rom tbe tragic lover to the negro minstrer..
Tomorrow il the day o( the big Texas-Oklahoma (ootball game. We are all very excited, and are anxiously awaiting the resulls. JUlt before the game, the Dallas Club is going to give a big luncheon in bonor of Texas .A, Texas B. and Oklahoma A..

At la st it seems that a solution has been found for the fraternity problem at Newcomb. The Board of Administrators has accepted the resolutions drawn up by the Panhellenic committee and fraternities are to remain on trial for ont year . A new plan bas been introduced. the object of whi ch is to get new members as naturally /lnd inconspicuously as possibly. The second week of collel..-e is set apart for getting acquainted and at the end of that time the freshmen receive their bids under the preferential system. As usual, initiation will not take place until the sophomore year. This system seems to foster better interfraternity feeling and with more careful planning of details next year, we hope that it will save the situation at Newcomb.
We feel that we aTe very fortunate in having this year nine pledges, eleven initiates, and a transfer. The pledges are: Cathe rine Dunbar, Wilmnr Shields, Bertha M anson , Francis H upman, Edwa Stuart, Adine Lampton, Dorothy Felkner, Alice de Buys. Eliubeth Craig . Pharos Felkers has come to us from Indiana r.
Initiation was beld October 4, witb a number of the alumnae present. Afterward there was a real IT 4> party.
There is going to be a Panhellenic house and we are hoping to be able to give our new members a normal chapte r life.
On pledge day the actives gave a luncheon for the freshmen :md alter the ceremony that evening there was a cooky-shin e. This was the first oppor tunity that the freshmen had had to s:ee the whole chapte r together, since parties are not allowed.

There is a general tendency to return to the traditions and united enthusiasm that existed before the departure of many of our leader. in student affain. The general sentiment of Panhelle ic seem. to be that of regret that there are many fine girls who were either not discovered by Greek-letter girls, or whom it was necessary to eliminate becanse of tbe large chapters in every house on the campus.
\Ve have fifteen splendid girls.
Already our freshmen have shown the desire to become a part of tbe life of the university. Eileen Howell is a member of Sacajawea debating club, and Margaret Delaney was chosen by its rival, Athena debating club.

Lucile Reed and Adele Carlin made Ensemble, women's glee club. Several Pi Phis have been put on social committees this fall, including the varsity ball committte. We are proud of the girls who have won this recognition, but we feel that our most earnest efforts must be directed toward the constructive activities oC the campus.

Although this irreg ular arrangement was slightly inconvenient for the fraternities we do not regret the disturbance fo r the of the faculty were so very generous in their appreciation of o ur coo peration that we feel it justify our existence" in their sight.
I f these first three weeks of college are to be taken as a forecast of the winter's activities. I'm sure we may safely say that this will be the greatest year in the hist ory of the college. The enrollment has increased one-third. with hurried and elabo rate plans being made in every department to accom· modate this unprecedented increase. )lany of our men have reentered college since .service overseas, and it is surely an inspiration to be constantly meeting our men wearing their hard earned gold bars.
We are well represented this year in student activities for we have the secretary of the student body, six members in the Mask and Dagger dramatic club. and offices in the woman 's league and Y. \V. C. A., so we hope to make our chapter grow in proportion to the college. The "point system" for student activities has just bten adopted by the student affairs committee which plan it is believed will help greatly in developing the underclassmen on the campus.

We are unable to give the names of pledge. as we have not yet sent out bids. This year there is a particularly fine cl-ass of new women we think, and we feel we will be successful in getting sp len did pledges .
It is th e aim of every chapter of our fraternity to record higb scholarship. California A made a special effort last year and was rewarded by succels.

The Eleusis of Chi Omega. for September sets forth seve ral striking reminders :
We must not ask ourselves the question what have we been saved from, bu t what have we been saved to do? Let each one of us make an inward survey of OUMIelves.
Th e mOlt gratifying feature of it all is that, in this woman's revolution, the col· lcae woman took tint rank in leadership. Wbatever the future holds in store for us, one thing must we recogriz-e as a ce rtain ty, viz., the enlargement of woman'l s phere will not be diminished, and the trained co lJ,ege girl must cons titute he rself the balance-wheel t o prevent the new woman from bein. ridiculed as a freak.
Feeling luperior and being superior are two quite different th ings. It sometimes takes many yearl and much experience to realize that fact, but the frsternity girl must realize it now \Ve lik e to feel lupcr ior, it give us luch a comfortable feeling. Out to be luperior, that is hard work! \Vc hesitate abo ut attempting it , and resort to camouflage to acquire privilege without working for it. Now. the f eeling of IUperiority il a harm leu enough thing when it s tand s by itself ; it il when it becomes sol idified into social structure tlt.t it becomes dangerous. Any clUI, any or,aniu.tion, whaft cbief I"CIUIt acems to be I feeling of luperiority is bound eventually to have a bard time in a growing democracy. Fraternities mult face this chl rge.

The New Yo,k Evening Posl in its edition o( October 18. 1919, devotes more than a column to an account of another internalional educational agency which comes as & direct result of the war.
The recent ellabliahment of an interchange oC students between American and Swedish uoiTer itie! a a reminder that the war bas meant IOmething to inter· national education. The world has concluded that it has been overrating German leaminl', and recalls now that there are many fine old univeraities oul5ide of Germany. In Sweden, the universities of Lund and Upsala trace their traditions far back to the middle agetj and the younler universities of Siockholm and Gothenburr, and t"e man, atate-e.ncouraaed acientific institutes offer Iplendid facilitiea for atudy and research. Theae are the thinga that the American·Scandinuian Foundation of New York City is explaining to American students, while at the same time the Founda· tion'. repreacntativct; in Stockholm are pointinl' out to Swedish studenu the advan· tacet of a yur at an American univenity. AI a reault of their combined efforts, ten American studenta Ailed for Sweden last summer, and a like number of Swedish .tudents came to America-eacb with a atipend of $1,000 as Fellows of the Founda· lion for 1919·1920,
Dean Thomas Arkle Clark, University of Illinois, in an article on "Profes· siona l Fraternities" printed in the Pili Chi Quar'no'y quoted from Delta eM Qt4(JrlnolYI April, gives us two big hinls: Don't let your friends be all of one turn of mind; don't let your entr:mce into a fraternity spell stagnation in your scholarship. ReAd it in his own word,:
h I look back on my collele experience I am convince.d tbat one of the most helpful featurea in it was the fact that I had the widest IOrt of aalOCiations with enaineen. and cbemilts. and alriculturilta, aa well as with the fe1lows who were pURUml' the specia l line of liberal art., work in which I wu myaelf interested One of my collele friendl, a lawyer of .ome diltinction, was telling me only a short time alO that he counted a. one of the mOlt experiences o f his underlraduate life that he had had as his chief friend and roommate a young man enlaged in the Itudy of enlineerin,.
It hal seemed a silnifiant (act to me, however, that few men who have ,one into a profeaaional fraternity have, following their initiation, been able to raiae their schotaatic atandin, above the grade which they had maintained before enterinl the orga nilation but on the other hand had frequently dropped materially in leholastlc efficiency. Perhaps the reason for this lies in the fact that many men find it poS5ible to do their best worle when they arc alone or at leut when they are aur· rounded by few companions. I n an i"veltilation which I made: a year or two alO into the conditions surrounding the twenty or thirty men who had attained the hi,b. elt scho laati c slanding in the University of Illinois, I was interested to discover that few of them lived in houaes where more than two or three other men lodj;ed.

" \Ve bave not anytbing like it in Belaium I do wisb we had It i. the first ,iris' colleae of this kind J have ever seen I Ion it."
The queen was quite a bit bewildered by the yelll with which sbe was greeted on her arrival. She had beard them at men', colleal!S, libe laid. but Ihe did not think the titls, too, cherished that cu.tom. Miss Helen H.

The St. PtrU/ P'UI mnkes some sta.temenli in regard to women in politics which are worthy o( thoughtful consideration by every college woman.
The trend or the times is inevitably and properly toward the extenlion of political riahU 10 women. The old arauments a,.inlt woman lufi'ra,e fall flat toda,. when Ihe lentler RX, not content with voring only, il ,cttin, its own candida tel into campai,nl and elmin, them to office. The Scandinavian countries have been pia-nectl in this rdorm and their examp le has Iltely been f ollowed to a larae de,ree by Great Britainj man, of our states permit womeD to vote and hold office and a Federal co nstitutional amendme nt admitting them 10 equal political rilhts with men is now on its way to certain rallficatiol). Even con.enllive France is debatinl' the iuue with I'reat likelih ood that the connntional curtain which haa hitherto kept French women I«luded from activity in public affairs will be at least partiall, lifted. In no country m o re than France can women Ittake good use or the weapons that Volin, and office-holdin, place in their hands.
Without question ina the justice and the advisability of participation by women in politics it is fair to uk th e question: "Are they prepsrin, themselves to play the part they shou ld play under the rClime of equal ity?" It i. not enoush that the feminine vote should express as hich a standard of humanity and morals as the m culine. If that is the entire resu lt of woman'a suffrage she might as well spare herkif the trouble and the stale the expenae of r«o rding her ballot. It is the geneTal opinion of studl':ntl of the question that 10 far the female vote haa done little more than duplicate the male, each h.s stood for ,oad ,overnment and for bad lovernml':nt in about the same proportion the other.

PURDUE WOMEN IN PHARMACY
Never before has there been such a demand for skilled pharmacists and there il no field tbat offers greater opportunities for women than pharmacy. The work of women in pbarmac y is no longe r in the experimental stage is shown by the fact that they have their own section of the National Auociation, known as the Woman's Section of the American Pharmaceu tical A.sociation.
Purdue has graduated twenty·four women from the Sebool of Pharmacy. All have acquitted themselves excellently in their profellions. Four now own and manaae drugstores of th ei r own Several have had charae of the pharmacy and dispensing department at the National Military Home at Marion, Indiana. A Purdue W'omao was for a considerable time in charge of the dupensin&, department of the Metbodist Hospital at Jndianapolis Last summer one of our own Alpha Chi pharmacislJ worked as bacteriologi s t in one of our large training camps.

Courageous indeed was President Wooley of Mt. Holyoke College in addressing a recent convention of Massachusetts clubwomen on the subject of ''The College \Voman in tbe Community."

Once upon a time when some of us were at college such thinga were not spoken aloud, either by the prelident, man or woman, or by other wiae director. of young women In the iso lated world of college the real facts of life as it il were seldom discuued.

Under war'••timulus many of ua diaco.ered in ourael"es more power than we had dreamed of. College graduates came into a lingu lar appreciation by the government, so pronounced that department officials wanted us to improvise college graduates, and would not be convinced that a woman who had received a Ie. weeks of forced train in, was not in truth a college woman. The lenera) intelligence resulting from a cultunl course was Itrikingl, .indicated, tboolb thil was no U"cument again.t technical training for particular work.
JMroRTAlfcE OF TUHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
Observing the curriculum in tbe Ii,bt of war, we can draw several significant conclusion. The first i. the great importance of tecbnical knowledge, luch as chemistry, for example, without which our civiliution would have been cra.hed by tbe German war machine. It wa. Itrikinl to nold tbat every lingle ohjec t in an ordinary college curriculum except one or perhaps two, was of direct, technical value to the govemmenL But it seem. also that much of tbi. work Ihould be more thoroughly and accurately done. Another interelting conclusion was tbe great value of lIudent activities in teachinl organiution. team play, aDd adaptability. Some objection bas been raised to these ao-alled "aide·,ho...-.," wbicb diltract attention from tbe "main tent" work of education, but it teem. tbat tbey ma, well be used more definitely and consciously for educational purpose.. Moat important of an was the demon.tration of Ike .upreme importance of tbe liberal side of the curricu lumall that develops the riabt Ipiri t. a knowled.le of ideal. and an appreciation of the point and purpo.e of human affairs. without wbicb technical knbwledge rna, be worse tban useleu. It baa been said that the pointinr of &Uns io the riabt direction is not leu important than the having of luns at all. 1'he German example of effi· ciency wrongly directed has sbown u. the import&nce of a comprehen.ive outlook and a brotberly .pirit. \Ve have IceD eno that lueb a dry IItudy as arcbaeology may find its practical Ulle, for we have leen the curator of s museum exerci.in, hi. knowledge of oblolete armament to devise a trench helmet, with tbe result for himself of makin, the curator a major in the ordnance department.

And uill no college found, in the time tben at ita disposal for making ar · rlngemenll, any splendidly tangible or very ddinite way of .ignaliz:inl the service of each and every one of ita sons who, in the cqualiring fellowship of the Ipirit of sacri · fice, had gone forth into the armed forces of the United Statea to fight the nation's battle.
That il why the announcement which comel from Williama Collete today hat such frcah and unique aignificance. Williams has found the way. At a great Vic· tory celebration to be held in Williamstown ort' October 17, witb Major General Leonard Wood and Prof. Bliss Perry as chief spe.aken of the occasion, the college will pre5Cfit to evuy graduate, undergraduate, and aometime p" mber who scrved in the Army. Navy, or Marine Corps of the United Statel or ita allies a bronze medal of the utmost dhtinction in desiln and in commemorative !CntimeDt and ,uglcativeneaa. Here will be, in durable form, and upon the specific ,rant of the prelident and trultcel of the college, a token which cyery \Villiama man who Ibared in the military Knice of hi, country can hold foruer as nidence of tbe ,ratitude of hia colle,e for duty performed al the college which bred him would have bad him perform it.
Thia happy plan, which will no doubt commend itself to man,. another inatitutiona whose IOns gave a brilliant account of tbem.elvca in the war, Williama especially can carry out with a hiah sense that she h much to commemorate. The latcat .tati.tica compiled at the college Ihow that the 1,721 men whom Williams bad in the """ice compriac more than forty per cent of an known \Villiarns graduates, under· rraduatea, and .ametime membcn. In re<:ognizing the contribution of each man of of the contribution offered from that collete which h borne on ita Kat lince the thia hOlt. Williama may well be proud, and expreM anew her pride, in the sum total :arliest day of it, biltory the lipificant word,: "E Libera1itate E Williams Armigeri."
