EDITORIALS

To Our New Members

A GAIN the ARRow greets all newly initiated members, welcomes aU Dew pledges. To you .n. we are offering a share in an experience that is rich in the really satisfying things of life. Friendship, companionship in wo rk and play, an established place in college life, a pleasant college home, a future in which II B <I> should be an ever happy, always lasting association-these are yours jf you want them. Yet they are yours only if you give much of yourself to your Fraternity. Fine conduct, high scholarship, active and really interested service to college and to your n B 4l ch apter, aU these are yours to give if the Fraternity is to become a reaUy central figure in your life. Recently a letter came to the Editor from Annie Edgar , Ontario A, whose fascinating story of her work in India will appear in the May ARRow saying " Pi Beta Phi means to me friendship , a friendship that lasts although separated for many years and by half the world. There is something in Pi Beta Phi which binds us together, and I know that when next I return to Toronto I shall receive a loving welcome from myoId Pi Phi friends ." Pi Beta Phi should mean that to you!

The future of II B <,\> rests in your hands, in your hearts Will you carry the Fraternity on to new heights of service and distinction ? Will you keep her strength unchanged, her place in the world of college fraternities as high as it is today ? I t is for you to choose.

More About Old Pins

The Pi Pms do read the ARRow ! A most encouraging fact to us, indeed, was that many chapters wrote to the Grand President asking to buy the pin mentioned in the September ARROW! Since Indiana Beta wrote fir st, the pin went to that chapter, to be worn by the president.

Now let' s try another ang le on the same thought. Perhaps among the alumna: are some who would like to give, or to sell, pins of the older, larger type to their chapters or to the national fraternity, to be used in this way. Surely no finer fate could be imagined for a dear old arrow, perhaps one once worn by a relative. If you are interested, please write to Mi ss Onken.

Committee on Publicity

Will you cooperate with the committee onlublicity by sending to your nearest sub-chairman any items concerning honors or activities 0 members of n B 4>, or of their families? We want to know so many things! For instance, it occurred to us to wonder whether any of the new government officials elected in November are Pi Phi relatives; how many Pi Phis are holding important offices this year in national organizations such as the professional fraternities or the Jun ior League; what Pi Phis are active in such groups as the Federation of Women's Clubs. Will you tell us about such things, please?

On Addresses

Please look up correct addresses before writing letters to ollicers of the Fraternity. The Directory pages in the ARROW give latest correct addresses; the calendar page gives exact dates for reports; a box at the foot of tl.at page encloses exact instructions for sending money for our vaClOUS purposes . Save time and trouble for busy olli cers by using the information g iven in the directory pages of each issue.

Rushing Again

National Panhelleni c Congress is undertaking this year a new survey of the whole problem of rushing, and a letter from Mrs. Gentry, chairman of N.P.C. appears in this issue. It always seems to us, however, that what the present faulty system of rushing needs is not artificial regulation. We must go deeper than surface things. farther than rules that must be enforced to be effective, and which are, afte r all, unnatural methods. What we need is real human kindness for the other fellow, real friendliness for college mates outside of our own houses. In other words, might we not try sane, adult conduct during rushing?

If only we might choose new members as naturally as we choose new personal friends, because they are congenial, because they like us, because they have sim ilar interests! Perhaps for one year we might try ignoring externals such as clothes and hair and make -up . Perhaps we might try looking for real qualities of heart and mind and charm , we might seek girls of whom we want to make real friends. We might discover interesting girls; we might rush not merely those whom all the other houses are rushing; we might look not only for girls who wiU make our houses popular. True, we do emphasize scholarship as a requirement, and we must continue to do so; but may we not try thinking of new girls along the lines of other interesting qualities they may possess?

We must never forget that in rushing we are dealing with real people, with livin g hearts and minds, and that superficial decisions on the part of our chapters may he doing them permanent harm. We are doing only harm to our chapters jf as a result of rushing we are making enemies inst"!'ad of friends . It is a problem which calls for our best efforts towards its solution.

Convention-Some Impressions

By AohE TAYLOR ALFORD, D.C. A

CNV ENTION- Asheville, North Carolina, June 26.July 2, 1938, at Grove Park Inn- what a bare statement that is, but what a wealth of imprrssions it brings back to those fortunate enough to be among the 508 members of IT IJ 4> who were in attendance.

Always we've heard of Southern girls as something very Tare and lovely- now we know that all the stories were true. We have heard , too, that the South is hospitable, and we can vouch for the truth of that statement. We have been to the Southland, we have met its people, we have enjoyed th,t hospitality , and we like it.

This was the first Southern gathering of 11 B 4) since the Convention of 1907 , at New Orleans, during the Christmas holidays . We had suspected that the dates for that gathering were chosen because the South was too hot for visitors in the summer time, and before Convention people said, "Oh, you're going South! Won't it be very warm?" with a sort of pitying inflection.

They were wrong! It was cool in Asheville when we were there. We wore coats much of the time---when we had time to leave the hotel! We slept under blankets, we ran to outside quarters (some of the girls roomed outside of Grove Park Inn) between cool raindrops sometimes, but we were never hot. It was cool and piney and delightful, and oh, the lovely view out over the city towards the mountains from those front windows! A view that perhaps went without its proper meed of appreciation, if we are to judge by the story or the province officer who at long last looked out of one of those windows of her room, the very last morning, and exclaimed, "What is that? Could it be a mirage?" when she was only seeing the neglected view of the city far below the hotel! Interesting commentary on something or other, that remark! Either officers have too good a time to bother with scenery, or they are too busy to think of it!

Grand Council had met for a week previous to the opening of Convention, so were at hand to welcome early arrivals. First came the Jordon family from Florida, followed a little later by the Thorntons from Indianathen came the province officers, and the party really began. The girls came drifting in a few

at a time, until the great moment when the Special Train arrived from Chicago on Monday morning, about the same time that the train from the East came in, and all at once there were girls everywhere, and undreamed

of heaps of baggage. Apparently few brought trunks, for most of the hand luggage in the world was piled in the lobby as the buses arrived from the station. One of the hotel clerks said, "Are all the good looking women in the world here?" and it did look as if they were!

Greetings and unscrambling of luggage, finding of roommates, yet in the midst of all the excitement there was order, with the hospitality committee everywhere, the registration desk swamped, Alice Hulce Dow, Convention Guide, much in demand. At last they all settled down to lunch, and then at two o'clock came that thrilJjng first session, with Miss Onken introducing all the celebrities present, and much craning of necks to see all the women who had before been merely names in the ARROW or the HiJlory, Its high point was the entrance of beloved Founder Fannie Whitenack Libbey, escorted by Nina Harris Allen, Convention guest of

really hard work that was going on behind aU the good times; the wave of sympathy for Nita Hill Stark, Grand Secretary, of regret for her illness, and for the doctor's orders which sent hee away in the midst of Conven· tion; the enthusiasm of Convention the morning that Lois Snyder Finger announced the completion of the Endowment Fundand the note of triumph that went into the singing of "Oh, Susanna," with Mrs. Finger leading:

Mrs. Libbey's Toast

DEAR GRAND CoUNCIL AND ALL PI BETA PHIS, it is glorious to be here with you tonight. These days we have been together in Convention will certain! y remain a pleasant memory.

Rose Wilder Lane must have been thinking of Asheville when she wrote "Seems like I can ' t get used to how beautiful this world is! Sometimes I just don ' t know how we ' re going to bear Heaven."

While here I have been thinking of our first Convention, held in Oquawka, Illinois, when only twelve girls were wearing our golden arrow . We met at the home of Judge Thompson for a three day Convention, had business sessions , and had a wonderful moonlight ride on our beautiful Mississippi.

Here at this Convention I seem to see ourselves repeated. The same spirit of helpfulness seems to prevail and to govern your actions.

Were Libbie Brook Gaddis here she would say, "Girls, we builded better than we knew."

Since 1867 very many have worn and are wearing our golden arrow. It is because of the loyalty of all Pi Phis, and the grand way in which they have carried on , that our Fraternity is great and strong today. In keeping with our aim I like to think that each one gives out something of gladness, of friendship, and of service.

Surely we are very thankful, very happy , for the work we have done and are doing in our Settlement Sch oo l. The School justifies our existence.

Mrs. Libbey's song (Air: "Flow Gently , Sweet Afton " ) : " 0 Pi Phi, dear Pi Phi, thy praises I'll sing And tell of the friendships and joys thou dost

Through thIS year and next year till we meet again I'll love thee and serve thee the best that I can.'·

Calling All Fraternity Women

An address given allhe Pi Bela Phi Convenlion of 1938 by MARIA LEONARD, Indiana r

Dean of Women, University of Illinois

HAVE you ever turned the dial of your radio and suddenly heard an irrelevant cry-"calling all cars"-"calling all cars""attention all cars"?

You stop, look, listen for an important message. Today the world has dialed, "calling all women"-"calling aU college women"-"calling aU fraternity women ." Let us stop, look, and listen, for that includes II B <)!

We, as women of the twentieth century, take our inheritance largely for granted. The past, hard climb of woman, to become articulate even in our own country. reads like a romance. Do you recall from early American history, how Eliza Lucan in 1614, planted a forest of oak for colonial ship building, with her own hands? What are we doing for our country ?

You recall how the pilgrim mothers, besides bearing all the numerous pilgrim children, supplied their families with homespun clothes, candle light, soap, food, and home necessities; how Susan B . Anthony "turned the mind of a nation" fighting almost single handed to give woman her political freedom, when even her children and her own earnings did not belong to her legally.

With one hundred years of co-education behind her, woman has become an integrally strong part of the warp and woof of our nation's industry and commerce. Today Uncle Sam views her thoughtfully with his hand on h is chin contemplating the four billion dollars she pays him in taxes annually; watching with interest her cootrol of the nation's production by actual possession. Modern woman, whither arc you bound with this responsibility? the world is asking, for the frontiers of modern woman begin, certainly do not end, here. The answer will have to come from you younger women, you leaders in our own college world today.

Every business corporation of any consequence considers itself legally bound to render an accounting of its resources and assctsan audit, to its Boaed of Directors, when called upon_

So, we as fraternity women, in the inspintional days of a national convention,

must pause to audit our stewardship in our fraternity inheritance whkh has come to us from the past. Surely college men and women of this generation can not now "complacently re ce ive" thei r fraternity heritage without a deep gripping force within, to make them want to pass on the best of their fraternity life to the next generation. This heritage is not theirs to keep, but is lent to them in the ir active college days to improve or impair this gift for oncoming youth, and they must render an account.

Listen to these figures What will our audit be? Men 's and women's fraternity houses and their equipment aggregate, in our co untry, today, $99,000,000. There are at present, 350,000 active and alumn.r [ra ternity women, and 1,060,000 fraternity men. Surely it is time to audit! How do you interpret this investment-a s necessities, luxuries, rights, privileges, opportunities, or obligations?

What are fraternities that they should command such an army of chosen men and wom('0, and investments on our college campuses amounting to almost a hundred million? Certainly a fraternity is more than a house, a ritual, a grip, a song, or a symbol.

The fr ate rnity is a significant unit of college life that ought to build our campus life, as the home and family life is the recognized unit that builds strong our economic and social life of America. Fraternity life is group life where it should be possible for the weaker members to do their best. It is a protec torate of personalities. It must build strong manhood and womanhood as food builds strong bodies. " Who so enters selfishly, here --e ndan ge rs," was once said of the profession of law but it holds only too true for fraternity life.

The college world needs men and women who can correclly interpret cam pus life to freshmen I ask you, with the cultural inheritan ce of years, who ought to be more able to do this than our fraternity men and women in our institutions of higber learning?

A true interpretation can never be sensed boweve r, as long as we continue to have heated competition, over-fatigue, and und e r-

rating resulting from an exhausting, expensive, mob rushing in the fraternity world at the opening of the college year-nor from upperclass authority with its burdensome and antagonistic pledge duties and senseless mock initiations . True values of life will never come through, if only material comforts and richly furnished houses are emphasized as f ratemity assets, for these, we, as undergraduates, have only inherited and have not actually earned .

Misinterpretations cause defeat, despair, disaster, in college life just as in life in general , when students follow leaders who have lost the light of leadership There ate stiII frontiers to conquer in campus life. If this generation of fraternity men and women would, they could wipe out in one college year all caustic criticism against fraternity life in the educational world . The Magna Carta of colleges and fraternity relations adopted by the Association of American Colleges and the National Interfraternity Conference last year is a step forward in this direction. All the talking and writing in the kingdom will prove fruitless, unless this principle actually functions in our today's fraternity living on our today's campuses.

Emerson once said "what you do speaks so loudly, I cannot hear what you say." It is not enough for you and for me as fraternity women to recite the original purpose of the founding of our fraternity in our initiation ceremonies. The live, burning query today is '·What are you and I doing with that purpose--how are we using it-how is it func· tioning in the daily life' of each of our members and in the group as a whole to raise the moral and intellectual standards of our campuses?" These are today's frontiers.

Is it not fair to believe that you fraternity women can more correctly interpret the Quest of Life, its purposes and true meanings than can those young industrial women, your ages, to whom I spoke less than a week ago in one of our large midwestern cities? The event was held late for them because they had to work till nine at night. In some of their faces was reflected tired eyed fatigue, in some defeat and a hopelessness, while in a few an aunticipation, for they were all young like yourselves. They will never hear an inspirational address like the one we heard from our National President this momingnever will their eyes behold anything so lovely as Grove Park Inn in this beautiful setting of North Carolina's mystic hills.

A sociologist said recently, '·Where in a more ideal place could one better study human relations than in a fraternity laboratory?" Fraternity life can evolve a miniature "science of society" today for tomorrow if it but will.

Let us remember we have inherited rather than earned our fraternity's spiritual and material equipment and because of this we are called to audit our stewardship , first to our members as a group, then to our educational institution, to our alumna! and to our freshmen who foUow us, who obey us, who imitate us, and who sometimes fail to respect us !

When this be true we have lost our choicest (allege oppoctunity of passing on to the freshmen, who need models more than masters, a fine cultural and emotional discipline absolutely necessary for the college men and women today if they would be truly educated to assume their responsible r61e in tomorrow's world. Your freshmen catch your sub -conscious ideals ; not those that are put on for display. This is the Immortality of Influence -it operates for good or bad and is everlasting!

Surely upperclassmen can not now com· placently accept fraternal life as a privilege for themselves. I once heard a senior ask that the fraternity's standards of "no drinking" be changed so as not to interfere with her personal liberty. Should personal privileges ever be placed before a cause that represents the good of the many? Liberty does not mean freedom-it means responsibility-that is why the college world is calling aU fraternity women to a higher leadership.

The president of a great corporation in New York City was once asked by a lesser official of a small concern what he did to earn his salary of a year! "I do not earn a year for what Ida," was the quick response, "but for the mistakes I do not make." Here was a man that recognized that his company was paying him, its president, for his potential leadership.

Today one can read much of "how to win friends and influence people" and "new charm tests for the modern woman"-personality that helps one to become popular while in colJege; and persistence that secures and holds a job after college days. It is justifiable to strive to improve and be at one's best persistently, but over and above and under and beneath this lies a !lreater fundamental factor in human life . It IS one's poten. tiality; one's yet·to-be tested capacity for

achievement in life! Are your latent abilities growing to fu ll realization, is your Jife running on all service cylinders, so to speak? Ask yourself this query. Is mine a producing life? Is my college life a contributing one? Is it growing and enriching daily? Man's greatest achievement is to audit his own potentiality physically, mentally, morally, and spiritual. ly, to check himself up as it were to prove to h imself how he is fu l filling his promise of growth. Someone has called this, man's "men · ta l an d spiritua l" expecta ncy, his potential powe r of fulfillment.

Pre p aration plus persistence plus purpose proves potential power. This holds true in group life also. By what is your group known on your campus? Is it pulling its might?

"Education is n ot something we get . It is somethi ng we become." College cannot edu· cate you; this you must do for yourself. It opens n ew doors, but you must step through. Leadership in college depends on where you p l ace your emphasis . We, you and I, are trustees Great confidence has been placed in us when we represent our chapter at Convention. Conventions are high occasions in fraternity life. They are a call to colors-a call to audit our inheritance f rom the past, to consider our obligation to the future-a call not for specia l privileges for ourselves, but a call for special service to society.

H ow can we heed th is ca ll ? By taking the counsel of an ancient wise one who said, " R each ever with thy right hand toward those who have climbed the heights before thee and with thy left steady those who fol· low in thy way."

Some quest ions asked Dean Leonard in the discussion following her tall,: and her answers.

QUESTION I. Should a chapter take its strongest girl for its own presidency, or per· mit her to take a campus key job?

ANSWER. When one strong girl can serve many more college women in her leadership than those in her own group, her house should encourage her to enter the larger field if in its minds she be well fitted for it. This will afford an opportunity for a new leader in the house to come forward and take her r. lace, for surely every chapter is developing eadership to this extent.

Q. lI. Should the strongest leader be president or pledge adviser in a chapter?

A. These two officers require somewhat different types of administrative leadership,

hence there should be no conBict in the selee · tion of the girls for these offices. Delinitely, one office is as important as the other. Each girl must be chosen for her special qualifica· tions for each office. I have known girls who would fill admirably the position of president and who, I believe, would not succeed as a pledge adviser, and vice versa. Choose advisedly each girl for each job. (See question IV.)

Q. III. What are the fundamentals in building group life?

A. Place loyalty first, for ii, like character, is the basis of all line living. We all agree, I am sure, that grouf building comes, not through the making 0 many rules, but rather through a group consciousness, without which group·life sags. It is developed through the individual contribution of each member living persistently at her best. Also in group building, the main emphasis should be placed on the spirit in the house more than on organization, regulation. and efficiency. Personalities develop by being led, not by being driven, for the finer values in life come through contact and "are caught, not taught." The president's main job is to watc h trends in this business of group building.

Q. IV. a. What are the live most out· standing traits that the president should have?

A. 1. Moral excellency; 2. a balanced self· confidence; 3 the courage to stand alone if necessary; 4. discernment fo r values; 5. enthusiasm .

Q. b. What are the live most outstanding traits that the pledge adviser should have?

A. 1. Sympathetic understanding; 2. sin· cerity; 3. poise; 4. ability to see potentiality; 5. ideals

Q. V. Why do some student leaders fail?

A. The following are a few of the rea· sons why student leaders sometimes fail: they take off too heavily loaded , are poorly pre · pared, fly blind, use their office as a tool, stop growing, drive instead of lead. are too prone to details, are hindered by ill health, are in· tolerant. are afraid of failure. However, "No man is a failure until he quits trying ."

Q. VI. Living up to what you preach

A. Freshmen need models not masters . When the question was asked, "How can we practice what we preach?" my answer to this was. to make your deeds. your words . Conduct speaks louder always than creed. Our friend Emerson has said, "What you do speaks so loudly, I can not hear what you say." If for any reason , in her own mjnd , a

sorority woman feels that she cannot live up to the ideals of her group, then let her be the 6rst onc to be silent, for practicing is more eloquent than preaching. How far should upperclass authority go? I would answer to this: " Love is the greatest authority in the world and the least evident "

Q. VII. I s blind dating to be frowned upon?

A There are two kinds of blind dating, so to speak:

1. A young man coming referenced through a friend or the fraternity brother of a friend, is, in the strictest sense, not a blind date, because he has come recommended and is vouched for by someone respected, who already has good standing as a visitor to the house.

2. A courtesy or an invitation coming from a man (whether he be a student or not) who has not been referenced by someone who is approved, and whose background is ent irely unknown, becomes a blind date. This should be avoided. There is a lways the right way to begin a date, but th is is the wrong way, for if he be truly in earnest he should seek someone to introduce him to make him known in the "en regIe" way to either the young woman or to chaperon .

Q . VIII. Comment on social relationships between young men and women.

A. Co·education is a most normal way of living while go ing to school. It brings both sexes together daily in work and play in the same setting. It develops mutual interests on a higher plane than the mere physical, for there is an intellectual and spiritual reciprocity that comes through true friendship. Our co nduct should always be the expression of our best selves and never should one couple take the privilege or prerogative of conducting themse lves so as to embarrass other young people of relinement. Whatever is cheap and vulgar "impairs the integrity of life." Contrast, if you will, petting with genuine love. "Love never takes a privilege without a corresponding responsibility."

Q. IX & X. How ca n we keep freshmen e nthu siast ic about activities?

A. This is an interesting question, for interestingly enough, usually freshmen of high schOlarship are alert and alive enough to be interested in all phases of campus life. The question to balance this should be asked . How to balance the freshmen's schedule so as not to crowd them into activities? When a house does this it is clearly evident that they are pushing on to the freshmen, duties which should be carried by upperclassmen. The lirst eight weeks, books should be the lirst business of freshmen. They should be limited to one, not more than two activ iti es and should be helped individually to plan definite study hours. After their eight weeks' grades the first part of this question could come up again for this is the time that they can enter into mOre activities if their scholarship permits. Upon this very thing hangs the success of some houses and the failure of others.

Q. XI. How can junior transfers get into activities?

A. At the University of Illinois, the Woman's League has a transfer chairman who organizes the transfers into a group called Tamaroa. At the initial meeting all the cam· pus key women speak, telling exactly what activities are open to sophomore, junior, and senior transfers . They make appointments to answer personal questions. This group also has its own social life like other groups. The meetings are similar to the freshman orientation meetings, conducted by the Woman's League, to acquaint them with the campus and university life.

Q. XII. What can chapters do when their deans of women do not encourage sorority life?

A. In answer to this question I would say, make your group indispensable to your dean, first as models in conduct, scholarship, and service to the campus . Showing what your group can do as a model sorority would be the best proof in the world that sorority life is worthwhile. Make your group a contribut· ing factor to your campus. In other words, be "minute men" to your Dean of Women , and see what happens.

Pi Phi Becomes Travel Conscious

THE Grand Council has asked me to call attention again to your opportunities for earning your quota for the Settlement School. Your local organization has had the letter of explanation but to make sure everybody is reached we are pointing to it again.

The American and N orthwesJ Airlines have agreed to give us a commission on all the proof of Qur influen ce in the form of identification stubs sent in to them. These stubs are attached to every ticket sold and all you need to do is to write on the back the name of the purchaser and the date used. You handle no money, sell no tickets, plan no trips. But you do urge your acquaintances to use these airlines and to buy directly from the Airlines' offices Of course, tickets sold on discount to business firms are Qut since the commission has been allowed on them. Send your stubs to me and I deliver them to the Airlines since it simplifies the arrangement to have one liaison officer.

You see it is very easy-l return the money to you and your dub thus gets the credit.

Another thing that will bring you money is to urge every one you know who is planning a trip this winter to consult the American Express Company. If they buy their trip ticketsany kind of a tour from a round the world cruise to a trip to Mexico-from this company you will get a commission. Your work is this-use your influence with the purchaser but if you cannot do that give the pro spect's name to the nearest American Express Company and they will do the rest. Incidentally, your Pi Phi Tour went with the American Express last summer and aJI were most enthusiastic about the service.

Don't you feel as I do that this is a new and easier way to earn money?

New York World's Fair

UNDER the leadership of a promi. nent New York Pi Phi, Miss Sophie P. Wood· man, Pan hellenic Groups throughout the Metropolitan area are making plans for their World's Fair activities which will center around entertainment of fraternity guests from other parts of the country. Miss Woodman, who is treasurer of the Board of Directors of the Panhelleni c House Association and who has made her residence at Beekman Tower for the past nine years, has organized a cooperating committee of the House Board, the Board of Governors of the New York City Panhellenic, Inc., and the pres idents of all local al= groups. This is the first time that such a committee of the Greater New York groups has been foemed since the building of the

Panhellenic House ten years ago.

Miss Woodman, who is in the history department of Evancler Childs High School in New York, has taken an active part in Pi Phi affairs since her graduation from Barnard College. In the past years she has held several national offices and has been active in the New York Alumna! Club.

The committee is planning a hospitality program, with headquarters at Beekman Tower in New York. for all fraternity visitors and their friends who come to the city during the twenty-six weeks duration of the Fair. Miss Woodman and her fellow committee members hope very much to have the pleasure of greeting Pi Phis from all over the country, during the summer of 1939.

From the upper windows of Beekman Tower, the World's Fair may be seen growing larger and more impressive from day to day, as additional buildings rise to house the myriad exhibits planned for the Fair, with the Trylon and Perisphere, the theme of the Fair of Tomorrow, towering above the rest.

We Colonize at Georgia

By ETHEL GILLESPLE SMITH, Indiana l>.

IN TWO spacious rooms of a lovely old antebellum home in Atbens, Georgia, wbose exterior of plastered brick, wrought iron ballustrades outlining wide porches, sweeping lawns shaded with oak and magnolia and whose interior features , high ceilings, and wide doorways remind one of cri noline days, Pi Beta Pbi's eighty -first chapter has had its beginning_ Here under the leadership of eight wonderful enthusiastic Pi Phi gi rfs and the watchful eye of Athens and Atlanta alumn"" fourteen lovely girls received and gave their pledges to make new history for the Fraternity.

When those who went to Convention returned to Atlanta and told how enthusiastically the proposal for a chapter at the University of Georgia was received we were very happy, realizing that a dream was to come true. An inventory of things to be done made us feel that we had an almost overwhelming task before us. We did, however, have two rooms, and the seventy-five miles between Athens and Atlanta had to be traveled many times before they were ready for occupancy. The details of all the joys and disappointments, f cantie telephone conversations, and hastily called meetings during those days would /ill a book, yet everyone who had had a part in everything sensed a feeling of pride and work well done when the /irst open house of the rush week was held.

In the living room a soft light from the white shaded lamps is shed on yellow walls, draperies of cream colored mill cloth fringed in wine to match the wine of the rug, two sofas of blue brocade stand opposite each other before the fireplace, a hostess table between. Above the lireplace hangs the large mirror, the gift of the Atlanta club, reBecting in its surface other chairs upholstered in wine

We Apologize:

and gold aod Bowered linen.

Adjoining the living room is the club room. Here the colors of wine and blue are carried out in the wine rug. the wine striped Lawson sofa, chairs with seat cushions uphostered in blue, and the Bowered crash draperies. A piano, the gift of Mrs. Stark, stands against one wall. The polished mahogany surface of the Williamsburg table graced the many clever centerpieces and hundreds of original favors designed and made for each party by Mrs_ Wm. Paxton, a member of the Atlanta Oub_

Someone has said that Georgia A was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and surely she was, for her gifts are too numerous to list here. We are looking forward to the time of installation when Pi Beta Phi's eightyfirst chapter can be formally introduced.

We cannot end this story without words of praise and the most sincere thanks to Dorothy Coleman, Illinois E, Ann Finch and Frances Hildebrand, Texas Alpha, Miss Onken and Grand Council for their ever ready word of advice and help, to Mrs. Paige, Zeta Province Vice-President, whose attendance to each detail made it all possible and to those other Pi Beta Phis who gave of their time and talents, to Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson, in whose lovely home the rooms are located, for their full cooperation, and last but not least to those husbands, sons, and daughters who listened patiently to all our woes and rejoiced with us in our successes and never complained at being somewhat neglected for two months.

I wish each Pi Phi could have the opportunity and privilege that has been the Atlanta club's this summer. A new and deeper meaning of II B <I? came from the experience, never to be forgotten.

+ + +

To Illinois H because we failed to give them credit for winning the Chapter Exhibit prize at Convention.

To Phyllis O'Day, Washington B, because her picture was not placed among the Mortar Board preSidents 10 the May issue of last year-it came without marking, to that effect, so was placed on a page of members.

Ambassador's Wife

By HE LEN GorrSCHALK, l"'yoming A

T'i)Rl OR to an informal lun cheon -interview r with Mrs. Johnson , I had only the most sketchy ideas about China. I knew it to be large, now engaged in a war, and always engaged in the growing of ri ce. I had never thought about it much, nor was I ever par -

M IS. NdS()n T . Jo hn son (Jan e Beck. W yoming A, 1923) visited in Laram ie carly in Februuy. 1938. She has b«o in the Unit f:d Stales smce: Novcmbu I , wben she: Ind ber two small children, Nelson 1kck and nJ ane. from China, leu-inR Mr. obnson still in that wit-lorn co untry. M.r . ohnson has spen t th irty yea rs in the f ore:ilt n Serv ic e, most of whi ch l ime: he has bttn in Chin •. H e has been minister and ambasudor to Chin. since 1930. Bdore comi ng to laramie for I short visit. M rs. Jo hnson spent her time in Cod.,. W yo .. her forme r home .

ticularly interested in its history or culture, and somehow imagined Chinese foo d as rathee terrible and indigestible.

So, when asked to meet and interview Mrs. Johnson, I mentally drew up a few "lead ·· ques tions on China . Abstract they were (and tha nk good nes s! ) never used.

I thou g ht when Mrs . Johnson was speak . ing- talking of China brought a sparkle one moment and a cloud of nostalg ia another, to her brown eyes--that she was really a good· will ambassador, herself-from Chin a to A.meri ca. For, no one hav ing heard her can doubt her deep devotion to China and her

people, nor ca n one help but hope with h e r that China's ancient and fascinating history and cu lture may not all be destroyed . Having lived s ix yea rs in China, as an Ambassador 's wife, she has known many interesting people and has seen and been a part of the panorama of old world sights and customs in Peking and N ankin g.

Eating lun c h as we were, this suggested questions on Chinese food and fea sts. Mrs . John so n said th e Chinese a re a fun -l oving people, and a fea s t to them is not merelr for a celebration, but an every-day way 0 e ntertaining friends . Before the reg im e of the Chi ang K ai·sheks aod the " New ·Life " movement, started by Madame Chiang K ai· sh ek, twenty to thirty -cou rse d inners were no nove lty. However, an eight-course affair is in vogue now. A Chinese custo m of inviting special guests impressed me as unusual : Mrs John son said that one day she rece ived a written invitat ion from the Chiang Kaisheks for hers elf and the Ambassad or to come to dinn er. She replied in form . Then , on the day of the dinner, the Mad a mes sec· retary called not once, but three times durin g the afternoon about attending the fun c tion . Mrs . John so n said she felt that her acceptance had gone astray, or was incorrectly dated , but her husband informed her that th at was only the Chinese w ay of showing g re at courtesy to the invited guests . (This form o f cordiality is called ·'chinging."')

Aft e r arriving at the Chinese hom e-to s how how o riental and occidental affairs differ--one not ices that no matter how many are in attendance, tables are set for ten, rather than for the twelve to which we adhere Mrs Johnson explained further, that all their dishes, linen and c hop -sticks are bought in sets of te n and the tables are always round . The old custom of the host and his wife s itti ng together on chairs nearest the kitch en , with the honored guests directly oppos ite, has been changed by fo reign influence in late years.

A s a fir st cou rse at a f east, f our Ja rge dishes fill ed with fish , vegetables, cold meat, etc., are p laced on the table as sort of a n appetizer, th e co rrect etiquette now being to co nvey, by means of chop-sticks, the food from the servi ng bowls to indi vidual plates .

As this procedure is followed throughout the meal, the table becomes spotted and messy before the end of the several-course dinners .

It is not unusual to have various kinds of sou p and fish served several times during the meal.

Mrs Joh nson explained that the beverage is a hot, rice wine, whi ch is served in small wine cups throughout the meal. And, for a good purpose, (or as she pointed out, Chinese food IS so very rich the wine helps to counteract this richness. To my mind, the last cou rse is the most interesting, as it has a two· fold lurpose. Either rice or millet, or millet an beans is served as a dish. This, Mrs. Johnson said , is reaUy a symbol with the Oline5e. For the people who have enjoyed such a feast want to show, by eating this simple fare, that they have not forgotten the commo n folk who perhaps have not en· joyed such sumptuous eating. The second advantage is that rice or millet tend to "act as a blotter," as Mrs. Johnson put it, and it soaks up the wine and aids any indigestion the rich food might have caused.

A favorite "dessert" at such feasts (though dessert is apt to be any place on the menu) is the f amous "eight precious pudding." Mrs Johnson stated that it is a work of art. It is molded glutinous rice as the foundation and the other ingredients are spiraled above the rice in a perfect design. Among other things, dates, lotos seeds, and walnuts are in corporated into this delicacy.

"Have you ever heard about Peking duck ?" Mrs. Johnson inquired. We hadn't, so she went on to explain that this is a dish fit for the Gods. (Note: recipe co llectors.) The duck is cleaned and filled with water and put on a rotary stick over the open Hames . The outer skin (which is the best part, ac · cord ing to the Chinese) is golden and crisp and the inner part, or the meat is of the tenderest. The method of eating is as follows: The crisp duck skin is served first-a piece is taken and dipped into a thick soy sauce and then wrapped in a very thin, round, dry pancake, aU of which is rolled together and eaten as we would a piece of celery. The meat of the duck is served as second best. The greatest difficulty about Peking duck is that it is served late in the meal and one has not much appetite or room for it

The servant problem is often the topic of conversation when housewives get togeth er in this country. And it has its problems in

China too. Mrs Johnson explained the struc· ture of the servant set-up in Olina. The mis tress of the house deals only with the "number·one boy," who in turn deals with the cook and other servants . The cook, "number·one boy " and chauffeur are the main servants, but when the "number-one boy" is dismissed the staff leaves as well. The "coolies " do the manual labor and are at the bottom of the scale; after leaving the "coolie" rank, they are made "boys," and a "number· one boy" receives this title only after years of service and passing through stages four, three, two to one. The cook brings his own helpers and pays them personally.

Mrs. Johnson explained that once a dayin the morning-the "number-one boy" brings the menu for the day, and they go over it together, and also the accounts. The mistress only visits the kitchen to inspect .

An amusing incident told by the Ambas· sador's wife was this: a friend of Mrs John· son 's commented at a social gathering that her cook kept the kitchen immaculate. She said that upon every inspection it proved spotless. Not long after, at a luncheon at this lady's home, she talked with pride about her kitchen again. (It seems that reminding the coo ks of cleanliness is a problem over there ) Someone mentioned that they would like to see her kitchen, so she told all the guests to come down. They went into the kitchen-and sure enough it was one of which a housewife would dream. One lady asked, "but where is the food?" The hostess called in the cook and he replied, "Missy allays want kitchen dean, so cook in my bed· room."

The "coolies" wear shirts, and long baggy trousers , which come a little above the ankle and are held in place by a black tie which wraps around several time . But , when a "coo lie" is made a "boy" his garb changes to a long housecoat. A "boy" who has just reached this station takes great pride in the advancement and would no more co nsider doing "coolie" labor than anything- for he would "lose face." And a Chinese servant would quit before "losing face." This is as much a part of the Chinese culture as wearing white for mourning and red for weddings.

"Tipp ing" in the United States and on the Continent has grown to proportions of being almost a racket. But a similar practice is prevalent in Chinese homes. The cook, when buying for the day, will add a few cents to each purchase. This money being often at·

tributed to "so upmeat." The food is never ptlCchased and the cook takes the pennies for his OWO, sometimes paying his "boys" with this money. The teem for the pract ice is the "squeeze, " or Ucumshaw."

Mrs. Johnson has been very active in the Girl Scout movement in Peking. The Girl Scouts had been organized prior to Mrs. Johnson 's arrival, but had not been especially act ive. It might be said here, the Girl Scout organization is composed of girls of seven different nationalities, including the Chinese. These girls all attend the American schoo l in Peking The organized movement was begun in 19, 2 and for four years a camp was held in a garden, loaned for the occasion by an old Manchu prince . As Mrs. Johnson pointed out, locations [or th ese camps are not as abundant as in the United States, they have to be chosen with care to avoid any danger of polluted water or roving bandits.

Regarding the language, Mrs . Johnson said, "My husband suggested that J learn the Chinese language to increase my enjoyment of life in China:' The Peking dialect is really the closest to the language of the Court and has four "tones," while Cantonese involved seven or eight "tones ." The refore, in the Peking dial ect, one word may mean four different things , according to the tone inflected Mrs Johnson told many amusing incidents which hap,Pened to her when she was inexperienced In the confusing language.

When asked if the Chinese culture adhe red to the ancient caste system, the Am · bassador's wife stated , "No, their society

co uld rather be termed as a 'scholarshIp aristocracy: " adding, "in th e last ten years Chinese women have been going into all kinds of professions It has been a transitional period, and many of the old customs with regard to marriage and feminine education have been questioned and eliminated by the younger people in China."

We inquired if this change was due to th e foreign in8uence and if such influence was a detracting age nt to the Chinese culture. Mrs . Johnson said she thought not, that the west had something to give to the east, and they, in turn, had something to contribute to Ollr culture,

Pi Beta Phi Founders' Days were celebrated when Mrs Johnson lived in Peking by eight m embers But there was no organized alumna: dub because all the F.ple were too transient, being connected W ith various gOY · ernmental services, however, in Shanghai the II B 41 a1umnre dub comprised of ten to eighteen members, met quite regularly . M rs . Johnson said she often tried to arrange her trips to Shanghai for those affairs.

With the multiple duties of an Ambassador's wife, such as official luncheons and din· ners every week, entertaining two or three hundred Americans at tea during a week , participating in all Embassy and community society, attending board meetings (Girl Scout, Women's Board of Yenching University , Woman's Oub, etc.), managing a large household and many servants, and the two small children, Mrs. Johnson lives a busy and exciting life . + + +

Among twenty girls who were chosen as the loveliest in the university to cheer on the Duke University football team when it came to Pasadena for its Rose Bowl Game were two members of North Carolina B-Mary Elizabeth Crawford and Rosemary Forsythe.

THE FEBRUARY ARROW

everyone began to talk about food-Mrs. Weaver sent over for some choco1ate bars to boost the spirits of the children on duty, who were accustomed to early dinner. A few early P i Phis from private cars, straggled in but the day cou ldn 't really begin without the busloads of Asheville folks.

All at once and without warning the heavens seemed to have opened and rained Pi Phi s. They were all over the pla ce at once and we soon felt pitifully inadequate to do justice to aU of them. Fortun ately for us, some of the crowd linge red at the luncheon tables set under the trees, before making the rounds and soon the more adventurous ones drifted back, attracted by the sound of singin$ from Wiley Oakley and his Smoky Mountam Ramblers Wil ey, as usual, was dressed in co rduroy breeches stuck into heavy boots and topped by a bright plaid shirt. He had spent part of the morning on the porch of the Teachers' Cottage, telling of his trip to New York "You know," he said, " I took a new suit along to wear but they wouldn't let me wear nothing but these same old clothes."

Mrs. Libbey's brave and sturdy little figure was easily distinguishable in the crowd. The long pull over the mountains seemed only to have exhilarated her and everyone stood to do her homage. I saw her in several places on the school grounds and feel sure that her indomitable spirit allowed her to miss nothing. She went into the Weaving Building, and squired by Mrs . Holton had a real gettogether wi th Aunt Lizzie.

Very liUing lunches were served in boxes by the Inn waiters in crisp white coats. They were most generous with the extra ones and some of the weary Girl Scouts sat about en· thusiastically disposing of them and the chocolate covered ice cream offered to every one. Dorothy Maclean circulated about through the crowd taking pictures of the different groups with Frances Brown to identify them for her.

Meantime the weavers were excitedly being made UP. on the second Boor of the Weaving BUIlding for their contribution to

the momentous day. The stage in the High &hool had been papered with newspapers like an old mountain cabin, and arranged about the pasteboard fireplace was the old furniture, including loom and spinning. wheel. The auditorium was oppressively hot and some of the weavers had to wear bonnets, which did not help them to keep coo l-but anyone who could have witnessed one of their rehears als on the hottest day of the past sum mer , with a thunder storm brooding in the offing, would have known th at the play would go off with the usual smoothness and dispatch . The aud ience was plentiful and appreciative and cheered the actors on to re· newed success. So again they lived over, upon the stage, a simple story of a nei ghborhood gathering in a mountain cabin and all the local gossip, which to them was SO familiar, hecause all had had a hand in working up and arranging the m ater i al.

The only thing that marred the day in any way was the over-developed professional pride of two of the bus drivers, which carr ied them off the road ori a private sightseeing trip of their own to Klingman's Dome, which so delayed the arrival of the two buses in Gatlinburg that their occupants had little opportunity to see the school. We hope that they will return at some later date when they can pass on the new additions for the fall term-a science and a home economics laboratory.

All too soon Mr. Price made the announce· ment heralding the departure of the buses for the return trip and the play was barely over, when the crowds began to dribble wearily out on to the road on the way to the bus station and eventually to Asheville.

From many manifestations , we feel that Convention was pleased with our efforts and bope enth usiasm for the school will increase from year to year until ou r dre ams are fully realized. Whatever the school has .ccomplisbed and whatever it grows to be it owes to a great degree to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Weaver, the director, and her loyal and enthusiastic stall.

Perhaps the greatest "Ieasure a may have is to come mto possessIOn of ,a rare first edition, a fine old book or a fully written and illustrated volume. Su ch pleasure Canoe COllntry by Florence P age Jaques, Illinois H, generously bestows.

In Canoe COllntry, Mrs Jaques delightfully re cords io diary form a three-weeks canoe trip into the wilderness of the Border Lakes country of Minnesota and Canada. To supplement her charming impressions, husband, Francis Lee Jaques of the Arnencan Museum of Natural Hi story, has supphed superb black-and-white drawings, end papers , and cove r illustratio n.

"Hundreds and hundreds of lakes scattered through forest, like pieces of a mammoth jigsaw puzzle scattered over a table. Scraps of rivers lace the lakes together. There are no roads, no paths except short portages; ooe can tr avel only by water ."

Iota this primeval wilderness two good companions journeyed . Traveling V:'ithou,t a guide, they wandered wherever their whuns took them, through these lakes and rivers . At night they camped on shore under the eversreens. The animals and birds were "as good company as one could ask."

Mrs Jaques ' diary of their trip is intimate and informal, written with the acute awareness of one who is having a new experience, yet always gay and charming. At one time she writes : "Freedom surrounds us . We are finding more than peace here This is an authentic ,profound release from modem intricaCies.

There are paragra'phs of prose with the lyric quality of exqUlsite poetry, such as the closing paragraph of the book "But I don't want to leave I'll always remember th is place and long for it a little. Islaods of gold and green, the wind in great branches, an owl's rail in the rainy .dusk, the sceot of our wood smoke drifting across the moonlight. It will be like a lost kiogdom."

Commendation is due the University of Minnesota Press for the good taste they displayed in book design and typography.

THB AUTHOR AND ILL USTRATOR: Florence Page Jaques graduated from MiHi1ci.n University and studjed in the graduate school of Columbia University . John T.

"I slipped from that into wr i ting nonsense rhymes and stories for children," And now her work has "sli pped " into such nne antholo-

Mrs. Jaques is an enthusiastic traveler and outdoor person. She writes. " I met Mr. Jaques in New York, and as he was the only person I'd eve r met who liked to stay outdoors longe r than I did, I married bim." Since then she has accompanied her husband on some of his most interesting expeditions for the material and backgrounds of the bird habitat .'troups he designs f or the Museum in New York. She has traveled in all of th ese United States except Texas, has seen a great deal of Canada, and loitered (she doesn't in dashing around Europe) through France a nd England and Switzerland

Beside Mr. Jaques' work at the Museum, he has done many paintings o f birds, and is ranked with Frank Benson and Allan Brooks in the field of ornithological painting. Therefore some o f their most fascinatin.'l vacatio ns have been planned partly as field trips for the artist. One of these was a huge circle tOUt ove r the duck passes from Illin o is down to Louisiana, then across to Fl orida and u;> the Atlantic Coast.

With Dr Frank M Chapman of the American Museum of Natural History. the Jaques went t o England, where Lord Grey helped them to select the site for an English bird group, guiding them over the fam ous bird walk that he and Theodore Roosevelt once took a long the It chen River and into the New Forest. In England, too, they have foHowed another enthusiasm-for railroads! They found a miniature railroad which ran thirty miles through the Romney marsh. Last year they rod e on all the n ar row-gauge railroads in the Rock y Mountains of Col orado, and they try hard to keep up with the stream l ine arrivals. At home in New York, Mrs J aques says, "The studio is sometimes a studio and sometimes a miniature locomotive shop, and Lee l ooks surprised and hurt because I won't consent to permanent railroad tracks all around the l iving room."

Hello, B oat, by Phyllis Crawford Henry Holt $2.

A few short months ago, Phyllis Craw · ford. Virginia A, sat in her Greenwich Village apartment in New York Gty, pouring over the red ligures in a sadly depleted budget. Later the same day she had $3000 dropped in her lap! H er book, Hello, the

Boat had won the lirst prize in the Juli a Ellsworth Ford Foundation 1938 annual contes t for children's literature. She was vying for the honor with no less than 1,616 other competitors from 4;> states, Canada and China.

No doubt you'll remember Miss Crawford's devastating satire Ellie Dinsm ore on the LooJe- a book to end all children's books. But instead of putting an end to it all, this rollicking satire coaxed the author into seeing just how serious she cou ld be and the result of her efforts places her among the leadin g writers of children's books.

HeiJ o, the Boat, written for young people between the ages of 10 and 16, con cerns itse lf with the story of an everyday family who fled the depression of 1817 by moving westward. The Doak family-Mother, Father, the children, Old Pappy with his liddlejourneyed down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati on a boat fitted out as a store. peddling pots and pans, hardware , bonnets, dry goods and Yankee notions. Settlers along the banks would ca ll " Hello , the boat" when supplies were needed If the vessel carried a red Bag groceries were aboard; a yellow one meant drygoods.

As the background for her story, Miss Crawford drew upon her moth er's oft repeated tales of the daring adventures h er

ancestors had experienced when they moved westward along the river. The author sup· plemented these with careful research in early biographies, pilot's manuals and diaries The story combines accurate information about these days with a truly spontaneous story, humorously and realistically told. No patron· izing book for young people is this-no overly righteous characters people the story, no wooden "this-is-good-for-you" theme is employed. Adventurous, red-blooded, simple yet vivid, Hello, Ihe Boal will be eagerly read by discriminating young people. The publishers have illustrated the book with numerous, exceJIent drawings by Edward Laning, well known painter of the American scene

THE AUTHOR : Phyllis Crawford, Virginia A, was born in Little Rode, Athns.,!; , She attended Randolph-Macon and obtained a library degree from the University of Illinois Library School.

Two Poems

By FLORENCE MARIE TAYLOR, Indiana r HER HOMESTEAD

She never saw the palm leaves sway Over a lagoon, Nor glimpsed a mountain capped with snow Under a cold, white moon.

She never saw in Italy Cathedral window panes, Through which the sun made white Christ's image, And red His blood's stains.

Yet has beheld a skyline fIaming From the setting sun, The horses, shccp and cattle homing When the day is done.

And that sweet hour at twilight, peace, TratlS(coding l ike a prayer. She never wandered from her homestead, But has found beauty there.

Her H OmtJlead won prizes in the 1937 issue of the Blue River Anthology and in the 1930 Autumn issue of the Indi ana Poetry Society Magazine.

NIGHT OF STARS

Night-so dark the tree line's dimly etched, So dark the sanded bars Lie invisible within the river bed. Fragile, mystic beautyNight of stars.

The waters catch within their darkened depths The star-path, Shimmering into crystal traceries; The tall pines rise against the silver studded sky, And here and there, A small cloud hurries by.

You may sing of moonlight, showering Its frozen light on hills and streams, But tonight the sky is drenched with stardust Silvering my dreams!

High B, id g" by Ethel Hueston . Bobbs-Merrill, $1 .

Ethel Hueston ' s new book is unlike any· thing she has ever written, yet it retains those characteristi cs - human interest, carefully drawn characters, surprising complications and sustained suspense-that have always marked the books from this Pi Phi's pen.

Miss Hueston has developed the plot of High Bridg. in an ingenious manner. The author has taken three characters in totally different situations, developed their stories to a point of impossible solution, and finally brought them together in such a man · ner that each has a part in working out the solution for the other two.

Valerie Northupp, an innocent Iowa girl, falls in love with the dashing aarke Saund· ers Saunders, unworthy of her affection, indu ces her to run away with him to New York , where Valerie understands they will

be married But Saunders is a married man and has no intention of changing his status. Disillusioned, poverty.stricken, and deserted, Vale rie belie ve s H igh Bridge, the bridge of suicides, is the only answer to her troubles.

The author takes us to a college dormitory f a r up in Maine and we are introduced to Todd McAllister. Todd's grandfather, the Skipper as he is affectionately called, is a former fisherman He has sacrificed much for his grandson. Not considering how much the Skipper would be hurt, Todd writes him that he will spend his Christmas holidays with younger companions. The Skipper sends him a Christmas check and wishes him a jolly holiday. Todd changes his plans and steals into the little fishing shack to surprise his grandfather on Christmas Eve. But the Skip. per, having sent Todd his last money, has died- perhaps a suicide . With all the bravado of youth, Todd sets out to find freedom. He, too, is di sillusioned, poverty-stricken, and seeks lligh Bridge as the answer to his difficulties.

The third major character to be introduced is Carter Reed Not satisfied with the com· pany of a charming wife and two fine boys, he seeks enjoyment outside his home. But in attempting to solve the difficulties of Valerie and Todd, Carter Reed finds the perfect solu· tion for himself.

As always, Ethel Hueston's book is enter · taining, full of complications and suspense.

Seven Hills-An Unusual School for the Unusual Child

AT REISTERSTOWN, MARYLAND, in the 1'1.. northern rart of the state, is a school with an unusua mission, the training of the adolescent child who is for any reason out of step with ordinary school methods. It has been entirely planned and carried out by a brilliant n '" and her equally brilliant I X husband, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Willard Whitmore (Ethel McCleary, District of Columbia A).

Located on a sixty acre farm, the school has the atmosphere of a congenial home, with constant psychologic guidance. instruction in all the ordinary subjects of a preparatory school, and physical training and games. The pupils are adolescents suffering under the handicap of educational, behavior, or person · .lity problems. All instruction is strictly individual, each pupil setting his own pace so that he is not put into competition with others nor with some arbitrary standard. The location in the hills gives opportunity for a wide variety of sports under competent direction, while it is close enough to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington to make possible trips for special entertainments. Unlike most schools, this one is in session for all twelve months of the year, with brief vacations adapted to individual requirements.

A printing shop is a valuable adjunct to the school. It is run by the two eldest sons of Mr. and Mrs. Whitmore and in addition to the regular line of job work does book publishing. I t was started as an educational project for their own children and has grown into a regular commercial business. The pupils of the school, when conditions recommend it, here have an opportunity to learn

the elements of printing and publishing. While Seven Hills was originally inte n ded only for adolescents it has been found advisable to admit a few younge r children in addition so that at the present time pupils of all ages from !?rimary grades through high school are rece Ived.

Seven Hills is a school with a real mis· sion.

A dinner celebrating the fiftieth anniver· sary of the founding of Indiana Alpha at Franklin College was held Saturday evening, January 15, 1938, at the home of Pearl Doty WaIters (Mrs. Wayne) on West Madison Street, Franklin, Ind.

The celebration was held on the eve of the '"Golden Jubilee'" of the chapter which was founded on January 16, 1888 . The chapter was organized at the home of Miss Emma Ellis, now Mrs Paul Monroe.

Because of death and distance, only two of the fourteen founders were present, Miss Jeannette Zeppenfeld and Miss Herriott Palmer, both of Franklin. Mrs. Sophia Tanner Deer, the first pledge, was also present. Miss Sarah Covert, the first initi ate, who is spend. iog the winter at Knoxville, Tennessee, sent

Turner The other founders are: Martha Noble Carter and Ona Payne Newsome, Los Angeles , Calif. ; Emma M cCoy Hillis, Wichita, Kan.; Maud E. Medsker and Anna McMahan, Chi· cago; Emma Ellis Monroe, Garrison, N.Y .; Inez Ulrey McGuire, San Juan, Porto Rico ; Pearl Wood Sandford, Washington, Ind .; and Emma Harper Turner, Hollywood , Calif.

Mrs. Benjamin C. Lewis of Indianapoli s, Delta Province Vi ce-President and a charter member of Kentucky Alpha, was a guest and presented official greetings.

While rushing technique has changed somewhat over the past few years, we have been prone simply to accept these changes, after they have come about, whether they have been for better or worse . However. a demand is felt today for an accurate under· standing of what the present situation is, along with dear and well conceived forethought as to the trend rushing must take in the future . Too long have fraternities outdone themselves in adolescent enthusiasm in the mad scramble to secure their members. The method of perpetuating the fraternity organization is entirely out of keeping with the dignity and esteem of actual membership. It is amazing to find that members secured throug h such high pressure salesmanship lend themselves in any degree to the depth and solemnity of our rituals and vows ; to the sin cerity and obligations of our pledge training programs; to the diligence and mental ability necessitated by our scholarship requirements; to the ultimate demand for lifelong loyalty and love to this idea We expect these loyalties from girls who are almost st rangers after a season of furious competition. It is both unnecessary and unbecoming that we should stand by, changing our methods only as demanded of us by natural social evolution, or by disapproving co llege administrators. If we, the fraternities , are worthy factors in the cultural and educational programs of our colleges, we must recognize this inappropriate method of chapter perpetuation we have practiced and must evolve a plan in keeping with the distinction and honor we associate with fraternity membership.

Any honorary organization, or eve n ordinarily exclusive social club offers suggestions for improvements, as a starting point.

The committee recently to make a survey of the rushing questIon will go into

t he matter t horoughly, noting the good as well as the weale points of the present system . They will present a program to the ne xt m eeting of the National Panhellenic Cong ress, which will blend together the best in o ur exper ien ce of the p as t , and new thoughts leading to a revised attitude toward the selection of members .

TIle committee expects, in its study, to contaet every women's fraternity council to secure their help and advice These councils will be asked to malee a statement on the points they wish the survey to cover. Each group will be asked to state its philosophy of ru s hing. and to estimate how the pre sent sy s tern handicaps and furthers its realization .

The committee will contact all Deans of Women in s chools where fraternities exist, inviting their suggestions and criticisms.

The opinions of the undergraduate members who are actually living the problem of rushing will not be overlooked . The willingness and eagerness of these members to see improvements in rushing methods and contacts is evinced in the new trend toward cooperation, as opposed to competition There is a rapidly growing belief that a successful rushing season on any campus means that every chapter is being perpetuated with sufficient and capable pledges, who in their turn will insure the fraternity's making a real con · tribution to its community student life .

The new committee is headed by Mrs. Eugen C Andres, Jr. , Chairman of the N.P.C Committee on College Panhellenics, and with her will work four other active fraternity officers. We anticipate the work of this study group will prepare us all for real progressive thought and action in Qur methods of member selection, which may eventually lead to the elimination of one of our greatest problems. Such an accomplis hment would be a marked step forward in fraternity development and with the zealous efforts and wholehearted cooperation of every women's fraternity it can be realized.

Pi Phis Play Through Europe

T he First Pi P hi T our

By MAy CARNEY MIDDLETON, I ndiana A

ME introduce to you Quality, if not Quantity. It looked at one time as if there would be about forty members of our party; then Herr Hitler went into Austria and the war mena ce threatened, and as the war scare deepened European trip cancella· tions came thick and fast to every sailing company.

But five good girls and true stuck to the P i Phi plan-Edna Werdin of Los Angeles, Ruth Dorn of Pasadena , Janet and Katharine Hamilton of Decatur, lll., and Margaret Clark of Washington, D.C. You can imagine how eager I was to see them and I can assure you my joy began at once and continued duro ing the summer.

We met for the first time on the 11. de France and the atmosphere of the boat is so definitely Fren ch that we felt we had stepped on foreign shores and our fun began at once . The second day out was Margaret Clark's birthday and a celebration was indicated. I took the stew a rd into my confidence and a birthday cake was planned and suitable deco· rations, and then as we s tarted on the menu he said, " Won't you leave all that to me? I will give you something ve ry nice ." So it was left and we went eagerly in to our dinner at eight.

The cake was in the center of the table exquisite in its tinted frosting of Bowers and brave in its blazing candles. Flowers covered the tablecloth. And then after the appetizers

came the piece de resistan ce--bo iled beef and stewed navy beans! The steward beamed in his pleasure at giving us something so typical. ly American! We gulped it down looking with envious eyes at our neighboring table served with capons and asparagus and new peas. However, our merriment was so genuine that the steward was pleased with his efforts and our pink ice cream and cake at the end were very festive.

Our next big thrill came on Gala Perform· ance Night when the usual Seaman's Benefit is given. The purser chooses for ushers the two girls he considers the prettiest on board He cbose our Janet and Margaret and you should have seen them that night.

Margaret, tall and straight, with ricb dark eyes and hair, wore flame colored chiffon and was fit subject for a portrait painter Janet, with perfect Titian hair and eyes and com· plexion to go with it, wore wh ite sprinkled with siJver and looked like a snow queen . I, as tour leader, almost burst with pride. After that the girls were showered with attentions . Landing in Plymouth we were met by our conductor, Mr Stanley Godman of London University. It took me only a very short time to decide he was admirably selected for his position with our party and I think the ar· rangement w as a most interesting one for every one concerned. It gave him and the girls an opportunity of new dose.up opinions of "foreign" college training, modes of ex·

pression, and general viewpoint. He fulfilled his obligations meticulously and made a real contribution to the party's pleasure

The girls will speak briefly for themselves and some of their impressions of the Continent for each one found her pet country.

Ruth Darn laughed her way through Eu · rope but perhaps laughed most in Holland . Says she :

"Everywhere the cute little booths marked 'telefoon' on every block intrigued me and I wanted to go in and call up somebody!

"And the signs above the thoroughfares were such fun-a walking man for the pedestrian way; a bicycle for the wheel path; a street car for the car Jines; a motor for the automobile lane. and a horse for the carriage rOdd."

Edna Werdin loved Germany and says:

"When my thoughts travel back to Germany I first see in my mind 's picture that lacy, breath-taking Cathedral of Cologne. I shall never forget that first sight. How immense and majestic it stood soaring so high into the sky-it seemed to be stretching half way to Heaven.

" And our trip up the Rhine will ever be a co lorful memory to me. No wonder songs are written of 'Cas tles on the Rhine.'

"I found Wiesbaden more fascinating than I had imagined. We were very much interested to learn our destination was to be the Hotel Rose, favorite of Fuehrer Hitler when he comes to Wiesbader. for the baths. No wonder! There was no desi re unfulfilled in that lovely hotel.

"Our hotel, Hotel Europa Hof, was a part of the romanti c picture of Heidelberg. While the rooms were lovely it was eating that pleased me especially, on a covered terrace overlooking a lovely court, cool and quiet and excellent food in abundance-beautifully served."

Says Katharine, who loved Italy:

"Italy was colossal-mlossal in several ways. We left Lucerne on an electric train which means 'clean train ' in Europe.

"It was in Rome that Italy finally aroused us to its co lossal nature. Our minds were im· pressed-almost awe·stricken-by the ruins of the old Rome. They were quickened by the splendor of Mussolini's Rome.

"The rich colors surrounded us on our way north and we felt that we were touching romance when we reached Genoa, noted for the home of Columbus. Our lovely hotel

with balconied windows , the Hotel Savoy and Majestic-faced the celebrated bay and in front of it was the great statue of Columbus.

" In Nice we found the beach and the shops most fascinating and we stayed at a charming hotel right in the center of things--the Hotel Metropole_ Though so conveniently located it was vecy quiet and restful and the service most satisfactory and an excellent din· ing room."

Janet loved France and says:

" Fran ce creates feelings of beauty, indifference , excitement, and romance depending upon the locality. Paris is supreme. You thrill to the beauty of the broad stretches of avenues lined with trees. There are quaint sec· tions such as Montmartre where you wonder idly up and down the steep streets mingling with real French people But the brilliancy of the Palace de la Concorde by night with its blazing lights and dan c ing fountains is another phase of life open to the traveler.

"Versailles has magnificence within its halls and in the formal gardens which surround the palace. It is hard to believe a man could build the splendor of Versailles and also conceive the delightful hamlet of Marie Antoinette. Far into a beautiful woods the hamlet is placed surrounding a tiny lake. It is a play world that has tranquility, yet you can imagine the fun that the child queen could have within her little world of makebelieve.

"Our la st contact with European soil was France, and part of the French life was carried with us across the ocea n, since we were on the French Line. My most lasting impres· sions will be of France, for I loved the coun· try, Paris , and the French people because I felt that all of them lo ved us and all other American travelers.

"And our hotel emphasized that feeling of friendliness. We stayed at the Hotel D 'Jena on our first visit to Paris and went there again upon our return and we were made to feel as welcome as if we had come back home."

My last word on the European Tour is that since this one was so happy there will be a new one in 1939. At the time this goes to press I am in the throes of conferences and itineraries. When you read this that much will be settled and I hope many of you will be able to enjoy the second annual Tour.

The President Emeritus Goes to Devon

By MAy UNSFII!LD KELLER

FOLLOWING up the article in the ARRow about Bov ey House in East Devon, I arrived at Seaton one Sunday moming in July. Sybil Turner a Toronto Pi Pbi, who lives with her family in this old manor house, met me and soon we were driving through picturesque Devon lanes sweet with Bowers and lined with hawthorne bushes which bloom in May, alas not July, while beyond gates here and there we could glimpse Bocks of sheep feeding on the green downs. After a short drive we turned into an avenue of ancient beech trees and alighted in front of wrought iron gates surrounding the garden.

There are three or four separate gardens, flowers everywhere, and pink and red climb· ing roses on gray walls. The entrance doorway is particularly beautiful. In the front garden is a sun-dial, a lead tank to collect rain water, which antedates the modern plumbing now in use, and two statues guarding a thatched summer house, one of King Edward I , and the other a nameless abbot of former days. In the vegetable garden the pear, peach, apple, and cherry trees are trained along the gray walls and the tiny tomatoes are grown under glass, since every ray of sunsh in e must

be conserved to ripen the fruit. A fresh breeze reminds the traveler that the sea is but a mile away, and in sunny weather a dip ioto the blue water is most refresh ing .

Inside the house the Turners dispense gracious English hospitality. The tea hour is the signal for all guests to gather in the large drawing room, the panelling of which is eighteenth century, while the windows go back to the time of Henry VIII and Katharine Parr. Even in summer a fire usually burns in the open firepla ce, and one is tempted to linger long over the tea cups and scones in this delightful room.

Mrs. Turner desires that Bovey House should become the headquarters for Pi Phis sojourning in England, who are anxious to lear n to know the real English country side. It is a place where one is made at once to feel at home, the guests are all friends of the family or known to friends, so that the group is always a pleasant one composed largely of Canadian and English people.

I ts situation near Cornwall makes excellent headquarters for either walking or motor trips, and it is a place where either a week or a month may be happily spent.

The Blue Bowl

REWARD (Original T itle)

AU day I did the littl e things, The little things that do not show; I brought the kindling f or the fire I set the candles; in a row, I filled a bowl with marigolds, The shallow bow I you l ove the botAnd made the house a pleasant place Where weariness might take its rest.

The hours sped on, my eager f eet Could not keep pace with my desire. So much to do, so little time!

I cou ld not Jet my body tire;

Yet, when the coming of the night Blotted the garden from my sight. And on the narrow, gravelled walks Between the guarding Bower stalks I heard your step; I was not through With services I meant for you.

You came into the quiet room That glowed enchanted with the bloom Of yellow flame I saw your face, Illumined by the firelit space, Slowly grow still and comforted" It's good to be at home," you said.

At Indiana University th e r e was instituted las t year a Student Survey Committee which is busy analyzing studen t difficulties, to be studied and removed by the cooperation of this committee and the administration. Among some of the problems which are most tr oublesome are those of student orientation, and plans are being offered t o introdu ce more individualized assistance for new students. Also, student enthusiasm has been low, and every organization of service on the campus has pledged themselves to aid this si tu ation. Already th e drive has succeeded t o some extent in over three thousand to attend the pep sessions which preVIOusly had been poorly attended.

PALO ALTO CLUB

The Palo Alto Alumna: Club opmed its ran program with an enthusiastic meeting in October with the active chap ter. After dinner at th e chapter house Ann Martineau spoke to the combined group of the Nationa l Convention and the trip to the Settlement School.

Our November meeting was a benefit tea for the Settlement Schoo l 'With I display and nle of Arrow Craft products. The rest of the year's program shou ld be a very interesting one, and we hope will make for a strong organization.

PASADENA

For some time the Pasade na Club hu not made its appearance in the ARROW but that does not necessarily mean we have not been active. In November of last fa U we entertained our friends with a very lovely tea at the spacious home of Mrs. V. M. Richardson (Olive Willy) in Flintridge. At this tim e we displayed and sold the Settlement Schoo l goods. We had ordered a large and complete selection with this affair in mind. We were very much pleased with the results. In fact so much so that we are planning a similar party for this fa ll.

We had six bridge groups, two evening and four lfter· noon, playing most of this lut year. The mone}' received goes t o the Settlement School Fund. We pay twenty.five cents a corner each time we meet. Some of these groups have been playing four or live years. We lind that some girls can pl:ty bridge who cannot attend the mmngs.

Our largest attendance was at the Christmas dinner party hdd at the attractive home of Mary Adams. The program was partly given by IT B 4> daughters and sons. We each brought a donation of food, money. or toys that we gave u a Christmas present to a large poor family.

In March we had an afternoon benefit bridge and fashion show. It was a very nice party and the gilb who planned it worked hard but the attendance was not as large as we had anticipated Founders' Day we observed with a formal dinner party and had as our guests of honor Mrs. A. W. Stoolman and Mrs. T. N. Alford. Each of them gave a short talk that was an inspiration to all of us.

We closed our season ""'ith a beach party at the home of Mrs. N. F. Stevens (Winona Bassett) at He rmosa Beach. The n B 4> daughters always our JtUests at the last mCC'ting of the year. They ranged in age from four up to married girls. Two daughters were just borne ftom college weanng their owa new n B '" pins. The

daughters went swimming while we bridge in the pretty garden and patio overlooking the ocean.

As we are unable to raise our budget through dues it is a relief to know that ont hundred and ten dollars was raised through th e sale of movie tickets for Frank Capra's "You Can't Take It With You." The day following Thanksgiving we gave a tea for aU Pi Phis and their mothers who are in the Salt River Valley at the home of Mrs. Victor Randolph. The Christmas party was held 00 December 12 at Mn.

SAN DIEGO CLUB

Our quiet summer was broken only by a rushing party in August at the home of June Patton. This took the form of a tea at which abou t a dozen San Diego gi rls who were starting college this faU were entertained. All the appointments were in our colon and newspaper photographers added to the festivity by taking our pictures! We started off the new year with an evening meeting at the home of 101n. Folsom Jenkins which broUJ:ht out thirty.five members for supper. Mrs. Alford gave us a most account of what was apparently a very active and interesting Convention. We also heard a great deal of rushing news which always intertsts this club very much. As we have members from all the United States our roll call sounds like the roster of the Fraternity and it is oot only the nearby chapters in California and Arizona whose rusbiDlt news comes to us. but the good reports from almost the whole Fraternity. The November meeting at the home of Mrs. Har· b.uah was a luncheon which also brought out a !arRe attendance with our usual quota of new members to be into the San Diego club. As our ,Creat job of the yeu is the Settlement School benefit this subject has bc:c:n exhaustively discussed this fall and we decided to

depart from our usual custom 01 boldiol: ODe I..&o!;e party and to have instead In'Crai un_lie!' Moefit fUnctions scattered throu,lth th(' year. EsTHU BIGGD JENKINS
