Lucile D. Carson's Pi Phi Commandments

The Je Tell C o mmandm entJ were read to Ohio A ch a pt e r by Lfl cil e D Oflgia I CarI on, Illin o is A, Pr o vince President.

1. Thou shalt never forget thy heritage and shalt ever prove thy valuing of it by thy conduct .

2. Thou shalt accept the task assigned to thee within thy chapter, acknowledging her need of tbee and her confidence in thy power to serve , and, thou shalt perform it g ladly and with thy whole heart .

3. Thou shalt never be gui lty of infli ct ing the hearta che that lies in acts of snobbery, remembering that true quality l ies within and is worthy of thy seeking, and that thou art unable to be above reproach thyself.

4. Thou shalt not seek honor by grasping it but by a steady faithfulness in unheralded path s-deserve some tru sted post among thy fellows

5 . Thou sbalt have such self-respect that thou shalt not be found among the du ll ards on thy campus but shalt ever walk unafraid before thy teachers

6. Thou shalt cherish thy pledges and carefully shepherd them, remembering that

in them lies the future of thy chapter and that they will stand in thy stead when thou art gone.

7 . Thou shalt never c ast thy vote unthinkingly for one seekin g adm ittance, realizing in the first pl ace that in thy choi ce lies the future of thy chapte r, and in the seco n d that, refusing , thou hast shut the gate to one who comes as thou on ce did, beseeching. Weigh carefully these two .

8 . Thou shalt care more for thy chapter's good than for thine own desire, believing that in her welfare li es thine own .

9. Thou shalt not cast aside admonition impatiently, before thou clost reme mber that one who lo ves these and the fraternity will never ask ought of thee arb it rarily but becau se she has conc ern for thy h appiness and an experien ced knowl e dge of the pathways before thee

10. Thou shalt so act and live up o n thy c ampus that when four years are g one the tears that fall sh all be of true grief bec ause of thy leaving and shalt be accompanied by sincere regret on the part of those outside the company of thy sisters.

ONE DAY this fall in the mail for the Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency was an order for a bridal gift and on investigation it was found that the bride was given a magazine shower and her friends had showered her with Mademoiselle ($2.50); Vogue, ($5.00); Ute, ($4.50); and Time ($5 .00). Have you thought of giving magazines as gifts? Below are pictures of cards that may be sent to the donor upon request Magazines as bridge prizes are always appreciated. Let the winner fill out the magazine she wants from a list that you submit to her as shown on the "winner card."

Magazines as birthday gifts are very popular. These cards are valuable to have on h and , for if you should forget to purchase a prize you will always have the card to give to the recipient and afterwards you can place the order for the magazine through the Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency, Marshall, III.

The Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency can fill orders for any magazine published. Send you r own subscriptions and gift subscript ions to your fraternity so that it may benefit from th e profits which are sent to the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School.

DEAR PI BETA PHIS,

I am glad to be here with you tonight

For all of u s this has been a week of helpful meetin gs and pl easa nt times together.

When very young we l earned that " Little drops of water" made the mi g hty ocean, "Litt le grains of sa n d" made the pleasa n t land .

Most great things have sma ll begi n nings-so it was with I.e. - IT B <1> .

Seventy three years ago only twelve girls in the world were wearing our golden arrow, now we are numbered by the thousands. The loya lty and service of the thousands make n B <I> large and strong.

At the first mention of forming a club, the Found ers were thrilled. We had a Vision. Ri g ht then we decided to attach ourselves to Monmou th College, as a barnacle to a ship, without so mu ch as a " by your leave, " to expand, to enter other co lleges, universities and s tates, to ask Elizabeth Cady Stanton to permit us to make her an honorary member . This we did to give prestige to our dub.

Do you not think we had a Vi s ion?

D ea r Pi Bet a Phis

Wherever you may be

Much good may you do

And right to the last

To the best be true.

New Pi Phis

THIS faU has seen many new members added to II B <1>. Pledge lists are still coming in, and their total bids fair to be the largest increase in potential membership in years. Two new chapters have been added to the Fraternity, and to them goes every good wish from all Pi Beta Phis. Both Wisconsin r and Tennessee B have pledged fine large classes of girls in every way complying with fraternity requirements. Elsewhere in this issue we have accounts of the two installations, and pictures of the girls which tell their own story.

Congratulations to both those chapters. and to all our new initiates and OUf many new pledges as well! The ARROW wishes for them a happy experience in 11 B 4>, and assures them that their life in the Fraternity will be full and ri ch if they give to it the fine loyalty, devotion, and friendship which its years of honorable existence deserve. We joy in sharing with them the rich heritage of the past, the interesting promise of the future-it is their part to be worthy successors to those who have carr ied on the wealth of tradition that is the proud possession of II B <1>.

N.I.C. Dinner

On November 29 there was held in New York a dinner given by the National Interrraternity Conference which promised as we went to press to hold mu ch of interest and significance in these days when so many of the fine established principles of the world seem to be falling into disuse. The program promised patriotic and fraternity speeches by men of national note, and we hope to bring to you in the March ARROW a full account of the event. For the first time, the National Panhellenic Congress was invited to take part, and rr B $ was represented by an official guest, as well as by the wives of such prominent speakers as Lowell Thomas and Dr. Harry Rodgers , and by Mrs. Lloyd G. Balfour, wife of the chairman of the N.I.C. + + +

Pectin Prize

An investigation at Convention showed that we have some famous jelly makers among our membership, and following Convention a check for $50 for the Settlement School was received from the Jell-Well Company, makers of the Product "Pectin." Pi Phis, Theo Swan Hendee and Marie Gaby, Utah A, Margaret Jackson, Ill inois A, Dorothy Seidel Preble, Ill inois Z, and others, gave their endorsements and allowed the use of their pictures to eam this contribution to II B <1>, and had a good time doing it.

Of Little Pigeon s

A new pin made its appearance last Spring, but did not (orne to genera l Pi Phi notice until Convention time in Pasadena It is a new guard pin, designed either to accompany a Pi Phi badge or to be worn alone, a charming tiny gold pigeon with outspread wings, the artistic work of the 1. G. Balfour Company . It may be worn as a guard by ' ny member of n B <I> who has ever served the Settlement School, either as a member of the schoo l staff, or on the Settlement School Committee. The pins may be ordered through the Little Pigeon Alumnre Club, at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, at a cost of $1.25.

Arrow Cakes

An innovation at the Convention banquet was the bringing in of the li g hted Arrow Cake, in tribute to Mrs. Libbey, by Arizona A girls. The ce remony has long been a feature of formal dinner in that chapter, and has been used elsewhere also. The Tu cso n Alumnre Club asks that we call the attention of the clubs and chapters to the fact that the cake pans are for sale. Prices, etc. may be found on the page " Publi cat ions of Pi Beta Phi," at the ba ck of this issue .

Recognition Pin

A plain recognition pin was found at Convention and turned over to Miss Onken. Further inform at ion may be had by writing to her. If not claimed within a rea sonable time, the pin w ill be given to the finder, so act quickly if it is yours.

Of Fairness

In the se days of whirling events and chan g ing values, we who have been g ranted the privilege of fraternity membership must assume a responsibility proportionate to the benefits received. Ours is the task of so using our influence that fine thin gs such as our rituals declare m ay not perish from an unhappy world. Our s is a double moral obligation; first, so to live with the world at large that it is a better place even in some small sense because of our existence, whatever may be our special interests, whether they be political campaign s ( as now when we write), civic affairs, home management, bu siness, or family r e latio ns; and second, so to live within II B that we realize to the utmost the possib ilities for good of the Fraternity . In the activities of our chapters and our alumnre clubs we share in something different from the agenda of ordinary social clubs or political organizations .

Throu g h our more than seventy-three years of life we h ave d eve loped a type of organiza· tion that has always been outstanding in charity and fairness of view, far removed from taint of ruthless po litics or unworthy methods. Seldom indeed in our hi story have we seen any play of politics; seldom have the ruthless and ugly methods suc h as have sometimes disgraced our national political scene shown them se lve s in the gatherings of our own or any other college fraternity. And this is right ; a fraternity should differ from other organizations in the controlling, lasting quality of its bond , in its com mon ground of friendship between members , in its basis of spiritual interest and enlightened thinking.

M o re than ever in such troubled times as these mu st that st rong tie be respected. These are days for clear thinking, unswayed by unfair tricks or methods a imed at the overthrow of existing strength. In all such organizations as ours, cha nges will come, and rightly so, when n eeded, or when demanded by a majority of the membership; such c han ges will be without value unless they are gained through a co ntinuance of the fair play and honorable conduct of her members for which IT B 4> has been known since her founding, "w ith malice towards none , with charity for all."

Convention-Some Memories

By ADELE TAYLOR ALFORD A ..l.ow Edllor

A NOTHER Convention is history. The busi. ness side of its meetings, its controversies, its worth while accomplishments, were related in the September ARROW, Such legislation as the plan for the restoration of the Holt House, the extension of our Loan Fund to include graduate studp.nts, and the gift of $5,000 to the War Rdief work of the Red Cross, $4,000 through the American Red Cross, the remainder through the Canadian Red Cross, all these things and many other measures passed will have lon genduring results in the life of IT B <1>, Yet when we who shared those days look back on them, what will we remember? We shall think of other aspects of the crowded , swift, ly running days when we were together, we shall remember moments outside of business :neetings and conferences.

We shall see the portico and front hall of the Huntington when the girls were arriving in gay melange of greetings and meetings; later that afternoon the lobby thronged for the ceception honoring our Panhellenic guests, with Mrs. Libby's cha ir the center of attraction; the informal supper following with its real chan ce for talk with our guests (the Editor will remember cha rming Judge Georgia Bullock , X n, commenting as she looked over at Mrs, Libbey who was seated at the next table, "There is nothing but goodness and sweetness in a line of that dear old fa ce" ) ; the fine ta lk of Miss Hel en Haller, Grand President of A 0 II; the traditional open meeting, beginning this t i me with the new and lovely memorial service, made irn· pressive and lovely by Alice Teegarden's singing of the Memorial H ymn, and by the work of Louise Spalding Malin , I owa B, and the girls of CalIfornia r and Califo rni a a; the jolly watermelon feast that followed in the g reat kitchens of the hote l ; the next ni ght model initiation, more beautiful than ever in the cream and gold setting of the H untington ballroom (who can ever forget the picture of lovely tall slender Ruth Latimer, initiate, being led in by her equally stately sister, Martha Latimer Willard, Illinois a); Fancy Dress Parade outdoors, with mOre girls in costume than ever before, hundreds of them, and they looked like thousa n ds to the anx ious judges who watched them w inding

their way down the long Right of ste ps from the Pi cture Bridge to the green coo l setting of the pool , surrounded by tables for the real Hawaiian Luau that followed - there were lovely groups of care fully planned costumes , still more lovely individual gowns, so pity the judges who tried to do it justice in so brief a view, and laugh with those judges over that tired moment when one of them s aid , "But I did not see any funny ones!" and then they asked Mr, Greene and the boys who took the pictures, and awarded the prize for the most comical costume accordingly! That haunting real H awaiian orchestra, fresh from the Islands, those native dancers, the prize winners parading across the float under the li ghts in the gathering dusk- how lovely they were, pictures accompanying the show; Stunt Night, a theatre of the Gay Nineties, with the Los Angeles people st ill in the costumes of that period which had won for them a prize- who cou ld forget Enid Hayward's precise perfection, Netta Young's gorgeous old black lace grown and hat regal with plumes, Dorothy Webb's deceiving man's get,up, the old timey boxes for seating honored guests, the songs , the carefully chos· en and well·acted stunts?

Then Recreation Day, with the g irls scat· tered far and wide ; one large party visiting Warner Brothers Studio, meeting stars, driv· ing through the hills to Leta Schreiber Gosden's ( Co lorado B) lovely home, to have tea with her and Ro semary Lane, Iowa B, then on to the home of Peg Pearso n Seibert, to see her father's collection of mounted wild ani· mal head s; on to the California a house for more tea ; another group to Catalina Island for the day- and what a day! More than were expected just staying to enjoy the charm of the Huntington , the poo l and the gardens, a c hance fo r real visiting and leisurely talk ; that night the formal dance, new feature of Pi Phi Conventions, and how the girls loved it and what grand party it was, for the active girls and their swarming dates, and for the alumnz who brought their husbands and had a real festival of their own in the lobby, a perfectly managed evening; Settlement School Night with its ballad singers and its play for which Rosemary Barnwell, Illinois H, and her Gamma Provin ce girls get the credit;

MRS. SOULE

INEZ SMITH SoULE, beloved Founder , could not come to Convention, but she sent a gorgeous gift of flowers . Next best thing to having her there, is to see this picture of her, sent to the ARROW by her son, Cleone Sou le, of Tacoma, Washington . It shows her with her three Pi Phi granddaughters , Ruth Morrow Henry , Illin ois A, Eleanor Soule, Washington A, and Leonore Brown Webb, Washington B. The picture was taken on her 94th birthday.

Mrs . Soule wishes to extend her warmest thanlcs to the members of the Fraternity who remonbert'd Mr with gr«tings 00 her ninety·fourth birthday.

The Fraternity will be internted to m o "" that among the nrst contributions to come in for the restoration of the Holt House was a gift of $100 from Mes Soule.

the Deans dinner, Fourth of July night, with Mr. W. C. Mullendore's speech, "Freedom', Crisis," a ringing challenge to us all; dimax of all the banquet, its tables overflowing into the patio, nearly a thousand Pi Phis present; the glowing orange beauty of Bowers and candles and charming little caretas (those carts the committee actually made!), the elaborate scenes which served as back· ground for the "Pageant of Progress" theme ; if only we had space to do more than say that credit for it all f!.oes to Ruth Barrett Smith, Grand Vice presldent, Edna Carscadden Wil· son, and all those others who worked on that conunittee; wonderful heartfelt singing, ringing applause, laughter, Mrs. Libbey's face when the Arrow cake was brought in by the Arizona girls and pointed at her; truly a night to cherish in memory!

What else to remember? Personalities, too many of them to make even a beginning of knowing them all, different ones appealing to different I.'eople. Always Mrs. Libbey, $ay with "her girls," happy, interested, inspllation forever; Mary Miller Barnes, Kansas A, first editor of the ARROW and honor guest of Convention, her delightful philosophy of life helping all who talked with her, as when she said. "There's nothing too small; there's nothing too lowly, that can't be loved. Every. thing is worth while, if you only open your eyes to it," Ruth Latimer, Convention initiate to be proud of; Ruth Wilson and the girls in the Daily office, who were bureau of information, guides, companions, and friends to everyone who came down their corridor, and special joy of the ARRow Editor; those speakers who gracefully adapted themselves

to suddenly changed plans and gave so much to their meetings; Amy Onken and Ruth Smith presiding over difficult business ses· sions With gracious charm; Ann Everingham, California B, with her harp, Ali ce Teegarden with her lovely voice, Pauline Thompkins and Ethel Nelson in their perfect reading of "The Happy Prince "; Grace Post, and her committee (look back to their pictures in the February, 1940, ARROW ) , everywhere at oncc, managing this Convention as few Con,'entions have been managed, and having the time of their lives doing it; their committees all working hard, such as registration that greeted us and sorted us, and hospitality that kept us happy; Jeanne Stith, Iowa A, chosen Queen of the Special Train, wearing her honors with unspoiled grace; Annas Griswold and her assistants, making Convention sing and like it!

Everywhere gids, and more girls, making friends, enjoying every instant , impressing all who saw them with their poise and charmone Huntington guest said, "I would not have missed seeing all those fine girls for the world."

Heartwarming, thrilling, exciting, colorful-98 1 Pi Phis playing their parts on a per· fect stage, the Huntington Hotel; living through a week of happenings grave and gay, formal and informal, storing up impressions, some to be taken home in formal reports to chapters, some to be thought over and talked over wherever Pi Phis gather. We have had two Conventions at the Huntington - here's to the possibility of a third some other not· too·distant day.

NOT a familiar face for several minutes, but one felt no stra ngeness, only sensing an atmosphere of intentn ess, warmth , friendships renewed. Quite a buzz? Well several hundred women, yet not the imperson al cackle female garherinjZs can be_ More of an enthusiastic, happy hum. The dignified, the sma rt, the pretty, the plain, the cu te, the lovely- all types mingling, all ages, with an air of being wanted , of at home.

The interest and thrill of seei ng nationa l officers, lOPped by the sudden realization that on e of almost legendary Founders was there, in A dear person, ready and beaming, to give one·s hand a warm squeeze. The very essence of Pi Phi tradition and spir it seems to shi ne from her face .

The friendly poise and ability of the Grand President, the rea l talent of the art ists on the suppC:r program The feeling of kinship with all fr aternity world.

Holt House, Monmouth, Illinois

THE HOLT HOUSE! Almost twenty college generations of Pi Beta Phis have held it enshrined in their hearts as the place of the founding of the Fraternity. There had been the lirst, oaring thought of a n atio nal college fraternity for women; th ere had been pointedly private conversations on the Monmouth campus and on the Whitenack's porch; and then, on April 28, 1867, there was the meeting in the Holt Hou se room of Ada Bruen and Libbie Brook, when the Founders of n B <I> formally voted to organize 1. C. Sorosis and promised that they would "a lw ays concea l and never reveal" how they h ad become membe rs-of " Beta chapter" !-and would keep secret the meaning of 1. C. How understandable it is that the 1940 Conven tion voted with such enthusiasm that this house, so filled with treasured memories. shou ld be preserved as a memorial to the fraternity 's founding! Already the work of r esto ration h as begun The good, plain lines of the house-so in keeping with the tru l y good, plain of the early eighteen hundreds-mean a d Ignity and cha rm increas ing ly evident as the hou se returns to its original, well-kept condition. The passer-by will n ote its white paint and green shutters, its windows with their glisten ing sma ll panes, and its o ld -fashioned entrance with the original beveled glass. There will be the living room with its open fireplace , undoubtedly "the pa rl or" of 1867 in whi ch at least

two Founders met their "dates" when they and the fraternity were young. There'll be the large chapter room, created by combining what may have been two "back bedrooms"; there'll be other living rooms, the caretake r's su ite , bathrooms , a powder room, and a kitchen. And, most cherished of all, there'll be the room in which the organization of the fraternity became a living fact! Every other member of the fraternity must be envying the Monmouth Pi Phis the thrill of watching the transformation of a long-unused house into a national shrine!

The Holt H ouse Committee, whose members represent the a lumn re clubs of Monmouth, Kan sas City, Decatur, Madi so n, and Milwaukee, are enthusiastically at work planning for the furnishing and for the maintenance of the house and s h a ring with Grand Council the responsibility for its restoration.

Pi Beta Phis , yours is the privilege of helping to make the Holt House live again as the home of n B <1> Chapters, Clubs, and Indiv iduals , there i s a part fo r each of you and no part, however small, will fail to be important. You will determine the degree to which the Holt Ho use will represent the loyalty of Pi Beta Phi s to the traditions of its founding. Throu g h seventy-t hree years, you have not failed you r fraternity; you do not fail it, because you love it.

Vanderbilt University

History

IN THE year 1872 the State of Tennessee a charter to Central University. but in 1873 at the first donation of Commodore Vanderbilt the name was changed to Vanderbilt University The year 1875 marked the division of the university into the following : College of Arts and Science; School of Law; School of Medicine; and School of Religion; in 192) the School of Nursing was added; and the Graduate School in 1935.

At different times the Schools of the University have been rather widely scattered over the city of Nashville. For many years the &hools of Medici ne and Law were in the business section, but since 1925 all the Schools of the University have been consolidated within the area of the original campus.

Description

IN SPIRlT, Vanderbilt resembles the traditional American (ollege. Its central purpose is the cultural developm""t of young men and women,

In form, Vanderbilt is a small, compact institution. At the heart is the College of Arts and Science, around which are grouped live professional schools. The total enrollment is 1,800, of which half is in the academic college.

The University buildings are centered on a campus of seventy-six acres in Nashville, the political and industrial capital of Tennessee. Through the elms and maples ORe sees the spires and turrets of those massive buildings which owe their appearance to the architectural ideas of the Seventies. But among the twenty-four buildings on the main campus are five belonging to the new order. These buildings of modi6ed Gothic, embodying both beauty and utility, are the Neely Auditorium , the Alumni Memorial Hall, MeTyeire Hall , and the magnificent medical school group.

In more than sixty years since its foundation, Vanderbilt University has had but three Chancellors. Landon C. Garland was the lirst ; he was succeeded in 1893 by James H. Kirkland In 1937, upon the retirement of Chancellor Kirkland , Oliver C. Carmichael became the third Chancellor of the University. .

Addition of buildings and funds to the University pr0r,rty was very slow for the first quarter 0 a century , but s ince then it has been more rapid. Through the coope ra · tion of Vanderbilt University, George Peabody College, and Scarritt College a jOint library is now under construction and will be comp leted in 1941. A $9 ,000,000 program of expansion was adopted in 1939 and will lead to the improvement of every division of the University.

Vanderbilt is distinguished, not by wealth or size, but by schools that are thorough in their work. The schools of Law, Religion, and Engineering are members of the national educational bodies in their respect ive fields, and all are recognized as being of the highest standing.

Limited enrollment makes ca reful selection and supervision of students possible. Underclassmen have the same teachers as upperclassmen. Equally thorough teaching is provided throughout the four years. The cu rriculum is limited on the theory that a high standard of excellence in everything that is undertaken is preferable to variety or novelty of courses. The degrees conferred mean what they purport to mean.

Vanderbilt is a national university in the truest sense. It has no sectarian spirit, no class spirit, no sectional spirit. The University is religious in its attitude, but it pleads for no sect or creed. It caters to no class, ri ch or poor. It gives preference to students of no section, though most come from the South.

Wisconsin Gamma Goes Forth

TH E EIGHTI'·THIRD chapter of n B 4> has become a reality. With the installa· tion of Wisconsin r on the campus of Law · renee College, September 12, 1940, the fraternity , the alumnz, the college, and twenty. four initiates attained the goal which they had set for themselves just a year before .

Thirteen carefully selected girls organized on September 1939, for the express puc· pose of petitioning for membership in n B 4> and they pledged their love and loyalty to this cause. They pledged seventeen girls to n 4> r who were willing to work and hope for the honor that would be theirs with in· stallation into Il B 4>. With the assistance of the newly organized Fox River Valley Alum · n", Club and Mary Jane Hill , Missouri A, the group rose to an enviable position on the campus in one year, encouraged by the administration and fa c ulty, admired and respected by students and other fraternities.

When co nvention voted on July 4 to establish chapters at Lawrence College and Vanderbilt University , members of the Law· ren ee group were holding a reunion in Chi· cago. From that day until September 12 , actives and alumna! worked toward the complete fulfillment of their dream.

On that memorable Thursday morning Amy B. Onken, Grand President, pledged twenty.four to Il B 4> before Miriam E. Williams , Eta Province President; Mrs. MeClyment, Province Vice-President; Mary I. ou Agur and Marcy Haeger, Wisconsin B; and Claire TiefenthaJec, Wisconsin A, chapter delegates; and over twenty alumn.r. An informal luncheon preceded the initiation ceremo ny.

Twenty-four new members of n B <I> reo

cdved their golden arrows that afternoon during a ceremony whi ch thrilled everyone present with its depth of feeling , sincerity, a.nd inspiration for a rising chapter of the fraternity.

New initiates were honored at a formal banquet held that evening at the Riverview Country Club. The arrow was the back· ground and the theme of the program. Miss Onken talked about ''The Point, " Mary Jane Hill "The Shaft," Miss Williams '·The Wings," and 'The Chain" was the Province Vice·President's topic. Mrs Leslie H Ross, president of the alumn., club, served as toastmistress. Tdegrams a nd gifts from chap. ters and alurnru:e clubs were displayed at the banquet, and eac h initiate received a gift.

Friday morning a meeting was heJd in the rooms which the girls furnished last year. At noon a cooky.shine was held at the home of Mrs. Francis F. Wheeler, local chai rman of installation and a member of the AdviSOry Board. During the afternoon three hundred persons, professors, fraternity members, and townspeople were guests at a formal tea at the RIverview Country Club.

With Miss Onken's words fresh in their minds and the inspiration of initiation fresh in their hearts, fourteen active members of n B <I> set out to show Lawrence College the standards and ideals for which the fraternity stands. They are working under conditions which are ideal for fraternity growth and development. The college has a high scholas· tic rating and attracts a fine type of student. The administration recognizes the advantages of fraternity life and encourages their ex· pression.

ously to the cause of education in America both in the East and at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, before he procured land in Wisconsin and planned for the development of higher education there before the territory had attained statehood. In 1847 the original charter was granted for the Lawrence In st itute of Wisconsin. Since students had no preparatory education, Lawren ce established a University with an academy in 184 9 With the development of public sc hool systems, the academy was disco ntinued in 1908 and the charter name became Lawrence College. In 1929 a graduate school, the Institute of Paper Chemistry, was organized to train workers in the field of paper chemistry and technology_The conservatory at Lawrence has received nation-wide recognition.

There are chapters of 8 K, Mortar Board. four departmental honorary organizations, and two professional musical groups on the cam pus. There are departmental dubs , discussion groups, dramatics, and musi ca l groups in which all of the students participate_

The coUege encourages students who wish to work their way through college by a large number of scholarships and prizes and by providing all types of work on the campus_

The buildings on the Lawrence campus look out over the Fox River from their high and beautifully wooded northern bank. Main Hall , the Chapel, Girl, Gym, Science Hall , the Library, Observatory, President's home, and the three dormitories are close to the business district of Appleton and to its chu rches and social centers. The new Alexander Gymnasium and the Institute of Paper Chemistry are located near Whiting Field on the South side of the river. The six women's national fraternities occupy rooms in the Panhellenic House and the five men's nation a l fraternities a re to move this winter into the pride of the campus, the new f raternity quadrangle.

As it moves forward and upward Law· renee College will be an excellent background for the growth and development of the fraternity.

Over 16,000 musicians under 25 years of age throughout the Uni ted States tried out for the opportunity to play under the great maestro.

Aboard a Refugee Ship

A BOARD the SS WaIhinglon, en route to fi New York, June 20, 1940.

Only one more day unti l we are back in our own United States of America! Perhaps I should not be too sure of that because anything can happen in a day, but danger seems farther away as we travel toward OUf own shores.

This trip has been anything but a joyful one. The morning of June 12 we were awakened at :30 by the sound of the alert bells ringing. Sleepy and grumbling, we piled out of bed, donned our coats or bathrobes and our life belts and strolled up to the lounge .

What a heck of an hour to have a fire drill!

From the lounge we were shooed up on deck Although there were five of us in our cabin, not one of us knew what boat we were supposed to be in. Hence we chose the nicest boat we could find - a lovely motor launch with a radio-and stood around it, actually laughing and talking and enjoying ourselves.

Finally the order came to man the boats. WeB, yes, that did sound more se rio us, but most of us st ill weren't particularly worried. My greatest difficulty was that I was hungry and that 1 was COld - having fo rgotten to put on anything but a short jacket over my pajamas

As a matter of fact, though, I was not the only one who had forg.xten such things Some people were up without s hoes on . Others had on bathrobes. Still others had on skirts over their pajamas. which hung below, sort of Chinese fashion We all looked like the man dressed in a barrel with OUf life-belts on.

The announcements that we were running away from a submari ne stopped us for a few minutes. Th en we all became curious to see the submarine- started looking around. And as we looked around the sun seemed to be zig-zaggi ng back and forth in the sky, the light being the signa illas hes. With the word submarine two or th ree cameras spra ng out and groups of peop le started smiling at the birdy. 1"11 never get over my regret at not getting a picture of us all in those horrible lifebelts.

But how was I to know it was anythi ng but a dnll? At 6 : 30 or SO the sun stopped moving back and forth and put itself back where it

By LOUI SE LEE , Wy oming A

should be, and we were allowed to go downstairs .

There are strange stories of what peopJe took down to the alert One fellow took his violin- not a valuable one, but the first thing he put his hand one Someone else wandered in with a typewriter.

Ever since the submarine episode there have been two people who come up to the lounge every night about midnight, clutching their life-belts in one hand and their valuables in the other, arrange themselves on a couple of sofas, and spend the night.

But the submarine scare was only the beginning. We landed in Galw ay, or rather, anc hored about two miles out, and a young man in the purser's offi ce fell off the launch going into Galway and drowned.

The final blow came when we heard over the radio about the Germans walking into Paris . A year ago that wou ld have meant to me nothing more or less than a tragedy to be talked about, wondered at, and almost forgotten.

Now , the German occupation of Paris is like the death of a beloved friend. It is eve n more than that, for a beloved friend is on l y a part of a {'erson's life, perhaps for many years, but st,lI only a part of ,t. Paris has been my whole life for nearly eight monthsa n d it was pe rh aps the happiest eight months of my life. I c ould not that day and I still ca nn ot im agine the Germans marching up the Champs -Elysees, the Boulevard St Germain, along the quais, in the T uileries gar. dens--discovering all the haunts that were mine. I cannot imagine them sitting in the Cafe de Flore and ordering scrambled eggs an d a cafe creme from Pascal.

1"11 bet Pasca l won't learn to say scramb led eggs and coffee with cream in Germa n as quickly as he lea rn ed to say t hem in English. But maybe the Flore is closed, anyway, and Pasca l is no lo nge r th e re .

Fortunately o r unfortunately, are innumerab le people on board the WaJhinc1 0 11 who spent the last year or two in Pans.

We didn't eat mu ch th at day. We laughed a lot to keep from c rying. And we stayed up until nearly 3 o'clock that night talking about old times in Paris , speculating about the friends we knew who mayor may not have been in Paris when the Germans walked in,

and trying to decide what route the Germans had taken as they marched to the Arc de Triomphe. Some of our friends , we decided, must have stayed, for they were in charge of various newspaper offices. Others probably had to stay for other reasons. We wondered, too, about our little hotel , where the Polish government had been-and about the Hotel Continental, where the ce ntral offices of the ministry of propaganda are. I hope the Germans were as lost in it as I always was!

We are to dock in New York tomorrow. Everyone is glad in a way and sad in a way . We are glad, because the boat trip has been un comfortable. We are carryi ng almost two thousand passengers when we have accommodations for only half that many. We have had water only a few hours a day- have to get dirty and wash our faces on schedule OUf cab in is so c rowded that only two of us ca n get dressed at a time. We have co nsidered putting up onc way traffic signs and red and green lights.

And there have been shortages of various things- not parti cularly important things , to be sure, but nevertheless thmgs that we miss since we can't have them . Of cou rse, on the whole , life on the boat is luxurious in com ·

parison with the life we led in Francemeat on the menu every day, a shower every morning, pies and ice creams whenever we want them, Ameri ca n cigarettes, and dean napkins for every meal.

Men who have been in business in Europe or for some other reason have been living there for years are returning to Ameri ca to begin life anew. They are bringing not only their families and household goods, but their pets. One of our favorite spots on the boat is the upper deck w h ere dogs and cats are kept and where owners are allowed to exer· cise their pets. With children, dogs, and cats we are inaeed a family ship.

Now our voyage is nearly over. While we have been on the boat, world .s haking events have occurred. One of the greatest countries in the world has capitu lated to another great cou ntry . Governments have c hanged. Nations have taken sides in the struggle for world power. And our own United States has been making decisions which will affect the lives of each and everyone of us. We have been like an isl and village, with our little interest s and needs. But now we shall enter again into the life of our nation, as citizens of the greatest nation of the modern world.

NEWS FROM LITTLE PIGEON

Edited by JEFFRlES GREEN PACE, Virginia A

One of the most interesting adventures of my swnmer, was making the acquaintance of Wiley Oakley's book just publishedRoamin' W ilh the Roamin' Man of the Smoky Mountaim. It is a /ine thing to know Wi ley-but this book will transfer the colorful character of its writer to all those who care to buy and read its quaint philosophy.

The following are a few outstanding quotations from its pages:

"Nature is one of the studies in the Great Smoky Mountains that every pursen should know something about. Old Mother Nature can't be beat in these mountains. She is a wonderful study. So ] advise every pursen who reads this little book just take time to stroll out on some of these beautuful trails and every now and then take a look and lissen and take a deep breath and look things over. It don't make any different how young or old you may be, j us go at a slow pace and try to forget about time or other worry. Time and money don't mean any· thing. Most of the mountain people thinks about the same thing about thiS rushing business."

THE SHEEP EYE

would cast them back with a nice smi le . This meant it was O,K. you could go home with them or to church. But if the girl give you a sour look with plenty frowns in her face this meant you had better call your dogs and go home for the fox race was alI over. You would hafto try again some other day.

SHOT AT THE SCREAM

"But still let me take you back to sc ratch britches Mts. I lived for 4 years. At nights I could walk to the cabin door just at dark and gau up into the skys sometimes for the big dipper and the north star and the north star was my guide at night and I watched the other stars to count the time of night it might be and when I counted the space between the Earth and the star I picked out to count time I measured the space with my hand holding it just as far as I could reach. My hand would make an hour looking over my hand not counting my thumb. Just over the 4 fingers. And in the same way I could tell about the sun in the day time. If I wanted to know just what time a day it was I would meassure from Earth to the Sun and this would work like a clock. And while standing at the cabin door at the foot of scratch britches I could hear the different crys of the old born Owl and other nightbirds and when there was going to be a change in the weather the old Wizard owl would come around and scream and hoot and laugh and make all kinds of rackets and then I new to get ready there was a storm on the way of some kind.

Still in my boyhood days as I grew up my older brothers married off one by one and a sister so I began to think it is time for me to look out for a girl and get married. I would go around where the mountain people would be making sorgum molaseys in the autem time and at night they would take off the box and the hot furnice would be full of fire we would have a candy pulling and this was lots of fun for the young people. The boys would pull candy with the girls and AND THERE NESTES IS HIGH UP they would make wishes and after the candy "Now if you would like to be a poiet pulling everybody went home for the night. Just let me tell you how. just climb one of But around these places was a good place for these mountain peaks on a summer day. then a boy to spot him a girl and when no one spend the night. and watch the skys. as the was looking this was the time to cast sheep sun bends low. and see all the shadows come eyes at the girl he liked best when he found and go. and Iissen to the sofe whispering one.

Gllild Players Gll ests of K110xville Mayor

Mr. Allen, Mayor of Knoxville, invited the cast of the Weaver's play, the members of the school staff and the dormitory students to atteod the fair in Knoxville as his guests The cast went in a chartered bus and spent the evening . The students went another day in the truck with two of the teachers and Mr. King as chaperons. All reported a good time and only one got lost.

Fl ower Sh o w Gets Big Hand

This year's flower show was pronounced by the judges (who were expert Bower growers from the Knoxv ille C lub) a far better show than the Knoxville one. The gymnasium and both the laboratories were filled with the display. Mrs. Voorheis' unique feature for the stage was g reatly adm ired. It was a little farm house surrounded with lovely scenery made with flowers and shrubs from the Voorheis' place . It is amazing where aU these Bowers, plants . and vines spring from , but the native folk have become so interested in the raising of flowers for exhibition that they feel no hesitancy any more in bringing their best specimens . Mary L. Owenby's wild flower display, as usual, took first prize .

Nalional COllferellee o f Handaafters

Many groups were represented at the Penland conference of handcrafters . Among them being: the New Hampshire League of

Arts and Crafts, John C. Campbell Folk School, Berea College, U S. Agricultural Extension Servi ce. Twenty three states altogether were represented , the topi cs of chief interest being the marketing of handcraft products, standards of works, and !alanning publi c ity for c rafts . The last three ays were devoted to individual craft work. Speakers of interest were Eugene Deutch , Hungarian, a ceramist from Oli c ago, and Christine Van Hall , Hollander, a weaver with the Farm Security Administration, Home Settlement project.

V ocati o nal A g ricultllre Enr oll, Fifty

At the Sevier County Fair, the Pi Phi Jersey herd made a good showing, bringing home three nrsts, one second and two third prizes-and the Grand Champion Heifer of the Jersey Sh ow The boys were happy to be superior F.F.A. of the county and on their personal exhibits , they won a total of $32.00 in prizes. The F F A shop exhibits were also entered in the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial Fair at Knoxville, where there was great competition , but they won some second and third ribbons.

Arrolu Craft Sweeps Kl1 0xville Fair

Arrow Craft took all the first prizes at the Knoxville Fair display for weaving. It was virtually a walk away- but the amount of money won is not yet known.

Gifts During September

Grateful acknowledgement is here made of gifts for the month as follows: books for the library, from Mrs. L. K. Malvern of Elgin, Illinois; a lovely big Bag from Mrs. Davis of Gatlinburg and $5 00 toward new curtains for the stage from the Weaver's Guild.

WORKING WITH WORDS

lorine Pruette 's new book, W o rkil1g with WordJ, is small enough to tuck into your handbag and has a little more than two hun· dred lages. Yet into this book, she has packe as much advice and information as some authors would spread over two volumes. Her theme is how to choose words ca refully, use them effectively and employ them economically. Her book is proof that she practices what she preaches.

Part one deal s with the use and abuse of

this book right now, for they have no busi ness reading it. "

If he continues , the reader must be willing to have his own abuse of words placed fore · ibly before him. First, he must inquire into his reading habits, for this is an indication of his ability to use words "' How much do you read in a week? Do you read well? When you have closed the book, do you go on feeling what you have been reading? Do you go on hearing the words ?"

The sources of words in the English and American English languages, their importance in shaping historical and current events, the relationship of words and jobs are dis· cussed at length . But what is more important, Miss Pruette makes words fascinating in themselves . She compels the reader to realize that words are willing servants. his only for the asking, yet so often neglected and abused.

Alw:nrue may have a painful memory or two when they read the author's comments on the grunt-like sound of IIh. "' I remember still the misery of the students in the graduat. ing class where the professor used this IIh sound several times in every sentence . In the beginning, uh, we have to, uh, co nsider the possibly of uh , etc. Then , too, there is the lecturer who is afflicted with long pauses , so that the class squi rms and fidgets and wants to sing out the word he is obviously seeking. Most lecturing should be abolished in coHege teaching, and if it must be con· tinued a great many professors need to go to school to learn how to lecture more agree· ably and mOre effectively."'

She writes that one of the sorority'S major activities was taining the boys from the officers' training camp at Chicamauga.

In her own inimitable way, Miss Pruette us her brief autobiography. " I majored in chemIstry, for some strange r eason, though English and writing were always my chief interests. As soon as I graduated from the University of Chattanooga, J went to Washin.'tton to work for the ment, then to Clark University for my m3stef"s degree.

J am staying as late as possible this year to see the riot of autumn colors and avoid the New York agonizing about the war. The country is a delicious place but J find it un· satisfactory for writing. In the face of the pines and sugar maples going tranquilly about their busi ness of growing taller, putting words on paper seems pretty unimportant , So I have to get back to the noise and the dirt and the restlessness of New York to do my best writing Paris used to be even better for writing, but now no more, alas."

Miss Pruette has a younger sister, Mary Catharine Pruette, also Tennessee A

WHAT THE ReVIEWERS SAY: One of the most useful sections of the book is the one o n Talking and Thinking, which has enouJ;h straight sense to deflate a flock of windbags , One of its best features is that throu,Rhout it uses " ords in the way it would inspire others to use them , This, and the earnestness of the style carry thought to anyone at all impressionable.- MAY LAMBERTON BECKER in the N. Y. Herald Tribune, Books. " Miss Pruette's present volume, while it should prove of great practical help for those intending to take up advertising, journalism, radio or public relations work, to name o nly a few of the voca· tions in which a fine sense o f the value of words is a distinct asset, is "ery decidedly a book to interest the general reader ,"-The Harl!ord Courant.

PARTY PLANS

If you don't know anyone for whom to give a party, you will rush right out and find someone after you have seen the Blanche Wheeler Party Books. We say "see" for the gay and amusing pen and-ink sketches of Ellen aark, illinoIS lI, contribute greatly to the books. It is unusual to find such deftly drawn illustrations done by one who is not a professional but does it "just for the fun of it." Mrs. Clark's sketches not only decorate the bright red and green covers of Parly Plans for Showers and Porly Plans for Children but sprinkle themselves generously throughout the pages.

The plans themselves will be a delight to any hostess. Mrs. Wheeler has made them so complete with invitation s, gift suggestions, novel ways to present gifts, games, materials

needed, menus, shopping lists and recipes, that the hostess has little more to do than sit back and enjoy herself along with her guests.

Do you remembec how bored you got with having to play "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" at every children's party you attended? Mothers who use the Porly Plans for Children will never have to subject their offspring to such unimaginative games, Take the Pirate Party for instance. Young guests receive an ominous -looking invitation written on brown paper, burned at the edges , sealed with red wax. When they arrive, they see a large skull and crossbones on the door inscribed with " don't Ring. Rap Seven Times. Wait for the Signal to Enter " Pirate costumes and pirate names are ingeniously pro·

vided on the spot. Games such as kidnapping the crew, treasure hunt, boarding the plCate ship, keep the youngsters hilariously entertained until the " Ioot 'n booty" favors and pirates' fare make their appearance

The books are so attractive in them se lves with Mrs Clark 's amusing illustrations and the gay (overs and the plas ti c binding, that a set of them would make an appropriate gift

for one who " has everything" (that is, if you can bea r to part with them yourself)

THE A UTHOR: Mrs. Clark's letters are as amus· ing as her sketches Supposing we quote one of them in part: "The books were done just for fun. Parly Plan! for Children and Parly PlanJ lor Shower! have trotted off to mar ket and Par'y Plan! lor is ready to take off. We are now working on a hilarious fourth.

VIRGINIA'S WAR

We are indebted to Cay S. Langhorne, louisiana A. for the following review' of Virginia's War by Lily Logan Morrill, Louisiana A.

Lily Logan Morrill, author of Virginia's War, and My Confederale Girlhood, has written an intensely interesting biography of her father, the late General Thomas Muldrup Logan, who was not only the youngest Brigadier General in the war between the

lily LoRan Morrill

States, but one of the most brilliant. General Logan, who was born in Charleston, South Carolina, November, 1840, entered the Confederate Army at the age of 20 and served from Sumter to Appomattox. Serving in the army of Northern Virginia , he remained in that State, and after the war married Kate Virginia Cox, daughter of Judge James H. Cox of Chesterfield County, Virginia, a prominent figure in Virginia l?"litics.

In this 225 page biographte record, Mrs. Morrill has presented the first full-length documented biography of General Logan against the tumultuous background of war days and the 'Tragic Era" afterwards. The author has given not only General Logan's military achievements and honors, but has succeeded in recreating his magnificent character and philosophy which made him one of the most Important and vital ligures during

the war, and later in the pitiful days of Reconstruction. His philosophy embraced, as the author has so aptly phrased it, "not the bravery of callousness, but the Spartan acceptance of reality." After the war, armed with wisdom and fore sight, General Logan, denoun cing sectiona l prejudices and vain lamentations over the past as absolutely unconstructive folly, worked wholeheartedly and un ceas ingly for Nationa1ization and Education-for a North and South united by a common destiny. He was an ardent defender and promoter of the education of the Negro He says, "All the arguments usually advanced in favor of public instruction apply with greater force to the Negro. And thus every consideration of the subject leads to the conclusion that the future welfare and prosperity of the South demand the education of the freedman by public school instruction. "

Besides being one of the major leaders in the rehabilitation of the defeated States, General Logan was one of the early and prominent railroad builders in the South.

Mrs . Morrill states in her preface to A Bllilder of th e New South": "Before the seventies he was president of the Port Walthall Branch of the Richmond and Petersburg railroad and soon after that he was counsel for the Richmond and Danville. " Then , she conti nues, "In 1883 he was shoved off the railroad map by wily men in Wall Street." However, undaunted by this misfortune. a few years later, by what was termed a "master stroke," he obtained control of this same road "w ith greatly increased mileage, which meant increased usefulness to the South."

The tempo of this volume is fairly informal in tone , which makes it all the more delightful. The reader is treated to pleasing glimpses of intimate family life both in General Logan's household in Richmond, and on their farm "Algoma" near Howardsville, Virginia . We are privileged to know General Logan, not only as an outstanding public figure, but as a husband and father Many amusing and interesting anecdotes of the Logan family and their friends contribute charming bits to these memoirs.

A Builder of the New South has a particular significance and interest today, when once again terrific problems confront a troubled, tom world, and men of courage, vision and action are sorely needed to guide

us in these years of turmoil and create a happy, healthy world for the peace and enjoyment of all .

THE GASPE COAST IN FOCUS

The Ga1pe Coast ill F OCUl is a welcome escape from the di sheartening war n ews of these days. Dori s Montgomery, New York the author, and M ary Van Nest, who did th e photographs , transport one out of these troubled times to a 9uiet and peace ful land where "the complexities of mod e m living seem to resolve themse lves into nothing of any moment. When is high tide ? What is the di rect ion of the wind? Will it blow in a bank of fog from the ocean Yes, this is the Gaspe Coast and under its influen ce we become as elemental as the Coast's own people Beauty of sky and clouds and t rees, color of water and rocks , the tilt of a fisherman ' s sail cutting the blue of sky and sea , grace in bird and beast and man, these things absorb our thou ghts. The primitiveness of Coast life, whi ch is after all only a stripping of life to its essentia ls, seems en tirely natural."

Miss Montgomery and Miss Va n Nest enjoy a unique relationship. There's is not one of aut hor and illustrator Rather ace they co-authors, for the photographs play an important part in telling the story of the Gaspe Coast . The pictures are works of art, lovely enough to frame . Parti cul arly beautiful is the one entit led "Gaspe Flock " with its rusti c fence , rolling hill ana the dark, storm -swe pt sky contrasting with the white sheep in the foreground

It is more what the authors did 1101 record rather than what they did that sets this book apart from others. You know little about the authors, how and from where they traveled; rather do they make you come with them to inspect the tiny fiShing fleet, feel

the briny spray against yo ur f ace, se e the bright colors of the hull s, sme ll the fresh wood of a ca r penter repairing a boat. Or perhaps you go down a winding road , lined with wild Bowers , to gaze upon the rainbow colors with whi ch nature has painted the land sc ape. You stop to drink in the beauty of a field of white daisies flecked with go ld , or pause to look at the pale pink columbine growing wild in a cemetery of tiny granite cro sses.

The G aspe Coast in F OC II1 is about travel but it is no travelogue ; it is written in prose yet it possesses a poet ic 9uality. It is just the book to take aown from your library shelf when you are weary of war n ews and question whether the world has lost its sanity and sense of values . A few minutes looking at Miss Van Nest' s exquisite photographs or an hour spent read ing Miss Montgomery's lyri c text, will reass ure you that there is some spot left in this hec ti c world where tension and hy steria have not penetrated,

THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX

The very words " Income Tax" bring forth moans and groans from many of us. March 14 is the day we waste mounds of paper adding, subtracting, multiplying and divid· ing, until we give it up as a bad job, and violently resent the fact that we have to make a return anyway.

All of which is indi cative of the need to know more about the history, significance, and necessity of the Income Tax Laws. To furnish the layman as well as Congressmen, government and judiciary departments, etc., a detailed study of these laws, is the purpose of The Federal Income Tax by the bril · liant n B 4> and her illustrious husband, Roy G and Gladys D. Blakey, Illinois /l The volwne is a thick one and explains in its subtitle that it discusses federal income tax "Legislation, Administration and Adjudication Through the Years and Today."

The authors' long experience. years of study and the fact that they have discussed in · dividually or jointly, in the American Econ omic Review, every federal income tax statute since the Sixteenth Amendment make them well fitted for the task. In addi · tion, they enjoy a friendship with the Secre · tary of State, Cordell Hull, who has shown a keen interest in the Blakeys' work, and has read most of the manuscript and pencilled notations frequently.

"This book presents the income tax as it is today with enlightening explanations of the important develot>ments in income tax legislation and administration from 1861 to the present," reads the publishers' statement. " In the light of pertinent economic and po. litical backgrounds in the various periods, it shows the reason for changes made in the tax from time to time.

" In addition, the in come tax is shown in the setting of the fiscal and economic systems of which it is a part. Numerous tables and charts show the tax rates and exemptions for individuals and corporations under earlier acts as well as under the present law . Other tables show the treatment of cap ital ga in s and l osses under past and present laws ; still others show the treatment of evasion or avoidance by incorporation or failure to di stribute earnings, etc. The liberal citation of sources, extensive bibliography and index add much to the usefulness of this unique volume "

A MANUAL OF ELEMENTARY DESIGN AND COLOR

A certa in II B husband , who is an arti st, has long been a ll e rgic to text books on art. Few ever m eet his approval and even fewer his prai se. Wi tho ut revea ling that Ruth M. Doolittle, Oregon B, author of A Manil a! of Ele mentary D esign and C% r, w·as a n B <1>, we asked him to read it and give us his opinion He had been lay ing in a co lor on one of hi s pi ctu res and was re -

luctant to interru pt his work R at h e r skeptica ll y he opened the book but soon became engrossed.

" This is an excellent ' down ·to·earth ' text-

book," he sa id af t er a little while. " There is no vague discussio ns on Art and Beauty , spelt with capita ls, to bewilder the student. And here is a point more art books should st re ss-the fa ct that budding young artists must keep in mind the emphasis on good design in our civilization and the g rowing fields for the designer. Eve n the humbl est utilitarian object gains in beauty if it is planned according to the fundamentals of good d es ig n," h e explained . ··In dust ry has at la st realized that it mean s good business to offer weU.designed wares. Thi s point and its relation to young artists h as been em · phasized by the author:·

Paint and brush were forgotten as he read Miss Doolittl e's book f ro m cove r to cover. " I like thi s book, " he said finally because it leads the student from the simp les t design to the more compl ex arrangement of forms in a giv en space, and it proves that it is po ss ible to offe r an elem entary yet comp rehen sive desig n course within the covers of a single volume."

"Another thing that appeals to me is the make-up of the book Its large size, spiral binding and the use of tyr.riter type repre · se nts a workman like attitude. The very ar· rangement of th e illu stration s invites the stu· dent to get out his tool s and follow her on the road to good design in form and color."

And this reminded him of his own brush and paint. H e went back to work not in the least disturbed that he had been inveigled into reviewing a book for the ARR OW.

A PI PHI POET

Although the work of Emily Lou Linsley , Ohio r , has not been commented upon in this department since 1936, her typewriter has been kept busy during the past four years.

In 1936 Mrs. Linsley wrote a delightful chi ldren 's book of verse entitled Singing Leavel. Following its publication. she turned to writing poems for adults and the result is that many have found their way into important anthologies. One poem is included in Contemporary American Poetl of 1929; two in Pa.bar Anlhology of VerJe, 1937 and three in The Yearbok of Modern Poetry of 1939.

One of the poems included in the latter collect ion is SO timely that we quote it here:

AIRPLANE WINGS

I see the wings of wild geese in the sky,

And r find comfort, knowing they are free The robin near my window l eaves her nest; I feed her babies, looking up at me

These winJtS I l ove, for God created them; But man·made wings of airplanes make me fearWinged messengers of death and wasted lands. Of children, cold and homeless. far and near.

THE AUTHOR: Emily Lou Linsley attended the University of Wooster and Western University, from which graduated. She has been writing {or over seventeen years. M os t o f her earlier poems, stories, and articles have been pub li shed in children'S magazines. In 1936 Si"ging uavtJ, It co llection of verse for very youn,R: children was published by the Fleming H Revell Company. A review o f this appeared in the November, 1936 ARROW.

WALKING ON GOLD

Phyllis Crawford, Virginia A, was so en· couraged by receiving the Julia Ellsworth Ford Foundation Award for her young pe0ple's book, Hello , Ihe B Odl! that she has reo cent ly published another entitled Walking on Gold. Still a third, The Secret Br olher, is 10 be published in February.

In our opinion, young people will like IValking on Gold. It is the story of a boy·s adventures while he travelled from Arkansas to California in 184 9 in search of gold.

Peck Woods is an orphan who lives in the little border town of Van Buren, Arkansas , with an aunt who just ca nnot understand boys. She didn't understand Peck's father when he was alive either, for the elder Woods was a goldseeker like the many men Peck watched daily in town, loading the wagons with supplies and departing on their long trek westward. Aunt Norah thought no

good could come out of the lot of them.

But Peck was his father's son and he, with his beloved mule, Ben, contrive to elude the aunt and start out to make the journey alone. Loneliness, hunger and danger drive him to seek permission to join the Arkansas Travel · ers and to risk the danger of being sent back home. After considerable argument, they ac· cept him.

But hi s way is not, thereafter, easy. There are Cherokees, Comanches, and Apa ches to be dealt with, some of which were friendly and some otherwise. TIlere are broken wag· ons to be mended, treacherous streams to be forded, a burning desert to be crossed On the other hand, difficulties are mingled with events to gladden any boy's heart, such as the friendship of Black Bea"er, an Indian guide; the companionship of the Scotchman, Tammas, whose funny little wheelbarrow

plays an important part in the most excit· in g adventure of the book; music and roughhousing around camp fire s at ni g ht.

Peck finally reaches California but the lands are all claimed. He finally finds "go ld " but it is n 't the California go ld he thought he wanted.

It is one thing for an adult to pass judgment on the merits of a book written for

Phyllis Crawford, VirRinia A

young people, and it's another thing to have it stand the test of bei n g read by a youngster himself. We asked a boy, age 14, who is an avid and crit ical reader to give us his opinion of Walking on Gold. This is what he had to say: " I thought it was a swell story. It's no little girl's tale but a real he· man book. I read it through without ever stopping once and when I came to the p,rt where Peck strikes bad luck in the desert I got awfully excited.

"[ liked ,II the details about the I ndians and their customs but I wanted to see one big

fi g ht with them. The pictures are good, too, but [ liked the map best in the front of the book. It was interesting to follow just where Peck was in different parts of the story.

''I'm glad the book didn't end with Peck finding gold in California. Everyone doesn't always know what's best for them. Like most boys, Peck h ad to be disappointed be· fore he found out what he should have.

" If you ca n loan me any more books by the same author, let me know. I'll be right over."

THE A UTHOR: Mi ss Crawford's biography appeared in the February, 1939 ARROW. We asked her how she went about writing her books and here is her a nswer:

"Writing isn't a sociab le profession, and it reo quires either methodical habits or (o nstant vigilance to make every day cou nt. I' ve had lots of those lapses when n oth in$t would prod the brain into aClion. It·s become a kind of game; I try to guess whether it's mental fati$tue that could be over· come by a fresh cup of tea or a brisk walk past a second·hand book store or antique shop, or real steri lity of a brain that can't stand too much exercise, or just plain ornery laziness. I wish I could sit down at the typewriter with ::I. rose in my hair and a so ng on my lips, and dash o lf a sho rt story or a chapte r before breakfast, lik e William Saroyan and the Vi cto ri ans. H they're telling the truth about their method of work. J bow low. For me it's a long, hard, lone ly, wearying task. My first drafts are so bad that J can hardly bring myself to set them down o n paper, and I use longhand so that the shortcomings won't show up so plainly But if I don't get the first draft dow n . I'll nev er have anything to revise. It wouldn't be so bad if I could whip it into shape in one revision.

Some writers build up when they revise a fi rs t draft; that is. add meat to a skel eton str ucture. Others set down everything they can think of in the first draft, and then spend the rest of their time weedin$t out the tares-the excess words a n d unnecessary incidents .My whole difficulty is that I have to do both at the same time. My story is always too thin to begin with. but how fancily put! I can't get over that grade-schoo l weakness for fine phrases, which on ly obscure the meaning.

Nevertheless, even my way, the h a rd way, is more fun than wor kin'l on a iob. I may groan, snarl, pace the floor, but just the same, it's worth it. There ' s no intoxication like finishing a book, and it lasts sometimes half a day. The book may not always be much good, but by thunder, it's your own and it's the very best you can do at your present stage of literacy.

MALICE DOMESTIC

"One good turn deserves another" and so is it with good mystery stor ies Evelyn Jamie· son, Arizona A, writing under the name of Evelyn Cameron, has followed her highly successful mystery D ead Man' J ShoeJ with Malice DomeJt;c, to be published December 1. Like her first book, the latest one is a

Crime Club Selection.

We wish we might have reviewed on "falice Domestic for you, but copies are not available when thjs issue goes to press. However, anyone who wrote a first novel that achieved a three-star rating in Esquire, is certain not to disappoint her admiring public.

Reviews will be appearing about the time you receive this ARROW. If you are a mystery-reading fan, you won 't want to miss Aia/ice Domestic.

THE AUTHOR: A short biography of Miss Jamieson apptared in the February 1940 ARROW . The outstanding bit of news since that time is the phenomenal success of this n B 4'. In the short space of fifteen months, she has written and published two novels that have been acclaimed by critics throughout the country.

Aske,d for recent news of herself, Miss Jamieson wntes:

"As for further biographical material, I don't know exactly what to add, My life has not included trips tround the Horn in catboats or dish. washing in oil town restaurants, which seem to be standard for authors nowadays, J did. however, work for a couple of years as a stenographer, which included three months as a PBX operator. J have dabbled in Little Theatre work (backstage), but my present enthusiasms are bridR;e and dancing, with an occasiona l fling at making my own hats, I have four or nve more books started and a number of other things-short sto ries and articles-in various stages. My princ ipal interest is in character portrayal."

CLOTHING

If the textbook Clothing had been published and in use when some of us took home economic courses in co llege, we would have been saved many a discouraging moment after graduation. We were taught how wool was sheared and cotton woven and we made a few simple garments, but why the dress we had bought did not fit quite right and what we could do to make it so, how we should spend our clothing dollar and what points to look for in buying shoes were subjects hardly mentioned. After college, some of us struggled to make wrong clothes right, then discarded them as hopeless. It was only by many trials and errors that we finally secured the information and advice included in Clothing by Alpha Latzke and Beth Quinlan, Kansas B.

The authors base all design upon a clear understanding of the elements of art in relation to line , form, co lor and texture. To them an individual's needs is the most important factor in selecting clothing. Having established these two elements they discuss every possible phase of c1othing-dress design, Etting a fabric, planning of clothes, spending for satisfaction. The authors must have had considerable experience in making, designing, and purchasing clothing for anyone who has had a similar experience will recognize that thei r book is not based. on theory alone.

Those of us who have rued the day we bought that off-shade coat or hat and then never were able to find anything to go with it , will appreciate the advice in the chapter on how the wardrobe should be planned. "Base the co lor scheme for the wararobe ensemble any given season on one dark or neutral co lor known to be becoming. selecting major purchases in this co lor ," urge the authors. "Thus provision is made for satisfaction for the current season and for the carry-over of major garments."

Do co llege students from less aIIIuent families spend too much for their clothes? Here is the authors' answer. "The question is sometimes raised as to whether a college student is justified, in the face of sacrifices made by her family, in maintaining such a standard in dress as is common among students on the campus of an Ameri ca n College. It is obvious that so me are overindulged or show too little concern for the welfare of others. This is to be regretted , yet it must be recognized that the student is almost for ced by social pressures to adapt herself to the standards which are customary to the group with which she expects to associate,"

Pi ct ures , charts, co llege and family budgets, numerous illustrations, are given. Any student who has studied this text carefully, will leave co llege fully equipped to answer the many questions on cloth 109 that Post-

B ET H QUINLAN. Co-AUTHOR: The death of Beth Quinlan, in May . 1936, was a great loss to the Fraternity. the educationa l and literary worlds . The revised edition o f Clothin1. is just as she and Mi ss Latzke wrote it, w ith the exceptio n of the c hapt ers on child re n's and men 's clothing a nd a few mino r details .

THE GREEK LETTER

Pi Beta Ph i won top honors when The Greek Leller, an anthology of Fraternity and Sorority Verse, was published recently . The Fraternity is rep resented by no les s than 47 co ntributor s which is the largest number from anyone Greek letter soc iety. Delta Delta Delta is seco nd with 43. Many co ntributors had mo re than one poem accepted, so the total number of poems by Pi Bet a Phis is well over 50.

Acco rd ing to the publishers, "no t all the poets represented in The Greek Leite,. are undergraduates . . . but a good perce nta ge are young writers for the first time, and doing a good job of it, too . .. . First publication is a g ratifying thing, and lead s the published poet on to grea ter worlds in poetry. We feel certain that many of the unknown poets in this volume will go on to e nviable reputations, and we shall be able to point with pride that The G reek L eller was the first to publish them

However, this h ard ly app lies to some of the n B 4> cont ributors . For instance, Franc hen Hauser Williams has had over a hundred poems published; Jane Coffin has published in m any newspapers and magazines, among them the New Y ork Ti m" and G ood H OIlIekeeping; Edith Crissey'S verse A Spring Salad won first rlace las t year in the 15th district contest 0 the Illin ois Federation of Women 's Club.

The Greek letter affiliation of each contributor is mentioned only in the index. That is why, when you come across a pa rticularly fin e bit of verse, you thrill to find the contributor listed u n de r II B <1>.
