STUDENT LIFE AT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

A LETTER FROM OUR PI PHI FELLOW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

The phrase IIgraduate study in a British university" calls to most minds a picture of the Oxford or the Cambridge Colleges since, for many years, the history and romance of these two great English universities have attracted the majority of American students. Before I came to England, many people looked puzzled when I told them that I was to study in the University of London and some of my friends were frank enough to confess that they had never heard of the place. Now, after a year of delightful student life in the oldest college of the university, I feel that it may not be out of place to tell my fellow-students something of the history and the progress of this institution which is, to-day, the largest and, in many respects, the most enterprising and progressive of British universities.

Founded in 1836, the University of London was for many years, only an examining body which had the power of bestowing degrees upon the graduates of certain approved colleges. Within a few years, it has entered on a much wider field of activity and has succeeded in uniting into one great body about three score institutions of high standard,---oome previously rivals for half a century. This movement has contributed greatly to the educational progress ' of modern England.

University College, which antedates the University of London by a decade, is the oldest of these affiliated colleges. Even so,. many of our American colleges are nearly twice as aged but the English college possesses an advantage, in that it combines the best of English traditions with that new spirit of progress which became apparent in England about the. time of its inception.

At the opening of the nineteenth century, a university course was beyond the reach of many young Englishmen because both

Oxford and Cambridge ref used to admit any stude nt who did not conform to the Established Church and, in addition, placed the expense of a course beyond the means of th e average man. These reasons finally impelled Thomas Campbell, the poet, to urge upon some of his friends a projec t which had for years been the dearest 9{ his heart's desires. He wished to found "a university in London that should be in all things liberal and co mprehensive."

The project appealed to many of the foremost men of the time and, after it had been definitely decided that there should be no Faculty of Theology, in order that the university should be without religious rivalship, many leaders in national affairs lent their aid to the new foundation. The spirit of toleration which fostered the whole movement is shown by the fact that while many of the most eager workers for the new institution were Dissenters, prominent leaders of other creeds also supported it . Foremost among these were Zachary Macaulay, father of the historian, who was a zealous evangelical churchman, and the Duke of Norfolk, representing the Roman Catholic church. Cabinet Ministers and representative leaders in the House of Lords were on the building committee while many of the foremost Members of Parliament, who were then fighting the battle of Catholic emancipation in the House of Commons, were supporters of th e move ment .

Seven acres of land were acquired in what was then a most desirable location and the new co llege was opened in 1828 as "Tbe University of London." Meanwhile some leaders in the Established Church had founded "King's College" as a similar institution, save only that it included a School of Theology and, as a result, there was some controversy over the g ranting of the Royal Charters. The diffi culty was finalLy solved by th e granting of two charters instead of o ne in which th e power of co nferring degrees was separated from the teaching power o f the colleges. The new institution thus established for examining and con ferring degrees was given the title "University of London" while the older institution took the name of uUniversity College."

In the years that have elapsed, Time has worked wonderful cbanges and the two earliest colleges which were established as genuine rivals now work together in harmony, coope rating in e"f'ery possible way . Furthermore, the spi rit of toleration is now so uni-

"rsal that Oxford and Cambridg e have disca rd ed any r eligious rest rictions while University College , founded really for the benefit of Dissenters, joins ann uall y in th e service for London University which is held every yea r during Presentation week in one of the great national chu rc hes, Westminster Abbey or St . Paul's Cathedral.

Time has also worked changes of another kind. When University College was f o unded , Gower Street in Bl oomsbury where it was located was an aristocratic quarter and the district was not only free from smoke but grapes ripened in the gardens as Iu.xuriantly as on country estates. Now the street is old-fashioned, glorying only in th e remnant of its old- time respectability and echoing with the sounds of traffic from one of the greatest modern thoroughfart:S which is only a block away. The tourist, therefore, is s urprised to come upon the college buildings in a spot so near the centre of traffic.

The Medical School which is the home of the oldest faculty of the college, now occupies a handsome modern building on the hand side of the street. The land for this new building was secured only a few years ago and the building itself was made possible by a gift of £100,000 by Sir Donald Currie. Close by stands the magnificent University College Hospital which was completed only about three years ago and is, perhaps, the most modern in tion and equipment of all the London hospitals. Until recently, this was the most widely-known department of University College for, from its very establishment, the school has met with unparalleled success. Ult set a pattern of teaching that raised medical edu c ation through out the whole country" and, at th e end of fifty years, was declared to be the best medical schoo l in England.

It is around the original co llege building on the oppos ite side of the street, however, that the histori c associatio ns of the college centre . Passing through the main entrance which is guarded on either side by a porter's lodg e, the visitor comes immediately into a spac ious quadrangle, the grassy lawns and gay Hower beds of which are restful after the stone and brick. of city streets. The main building consists of a centTal with two wings, and has a total length of 450 feet. Stone-paved co urtyards separate this building from the more modern st ru ctures in the rear where the

laboratories and the gymnasium are located. The building was designed by William Wilkins, R. A., and its immense Corinthian portico which faces the west is said t o be not only the architect's masterpiece but the most pleasing specimen of its kind to be found in England.

The class rooms of University College are declared to be in general, much better lighted and furnished than those of Oxford. This might be expected in a younger institution but, even so, the class rooms and lecture rooms lack most of the comforts and conveniences of the average American college . Even Si r William Ramsay, head of the department of chemistry whose recent discoveries have made him one of the foremost men in the scientific world, has, today, no private laboratory and many of the other departments are greatly cramped for r oom, but this does not disturb the English students or the English professors for that maUer. Throughout the whole place lingers an atmosphere of schola r ship which is above the trivialities of life . This does not mean that there is no u co l1ege life" in our American sense of the tenn. The college life is manysided. and the year is full of student activities.

It is something of a temptation t o write of the prominent men in England who have received their collegiate training in this place and also of the professors, men well-known on both sides of the Atlantic, who have, at some time in their careers, occupied chairs at University Co ll ege. In stead, however, I am going to tell of the social side of life at Unive r sity College for its academic features have recently been well treated at length by a writer in one of OUT American magazines . It is perfectly true as the writer of that article says that "student activities and social life do not engross so much time in America." At the same time, it is not true, as some people seem to think, that English colleges are utterly devoid of these things. It has often occurred to me, during the past winter, that a study of the present conditions of student life in an English college might be of service in the social change in our American college life which was proposed by the Ninth Pan - H e llenic Conference.

The University of London was a pioneer in granting degrees to women and University College was one of the first institutions to establish co-education. \Vomen are admitted on an equal footing

STUDENT LIFE AT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE 421

with men and, in this respect, the institution stands in marked contrast to the older universities.

The social life centres about the two Union societies, one for men and one for women, each of which has its co mfortably appointed club rooms. The home of the Women's Union is in the south wing and includes an artistically-furnished drawing room, whe r e the gi r ls aTe free to rest on couches or in easy chairs and read the latest magazines, and a splendidly-equipped writing room which is designed only for correspondence and committee use.

Close by are t he rooms of Miss Rosa Morison, liThe Lady Superintendent of Women Students" as the Dean of Women is called here. The door of her little parlor generally stands hospitably open and she is always r eady and willing to welcome any girl.

Below stairs, in the same wing is the IICommon Room" which is open to any woman whether a member of the Union or not. This is the headquarters of the Tea Club and the pleasantest hour in the day is four o'clock in the afternoon when the girls stop to drink that cup of tea, without which no Englishman or woman can exist . I have often thought, as I sipped my tea and ate the delicious cakes and buns provided by the ltindly matron and her white -capped assistant that OUT American college girls who lack this special opportunity for social intercourse, really miss a most delightful experience. Indeed the tea-hoUT would be an interesting time for a strange r to visit the college for then it is possible to see every one in a conversational mood. In the north wing, the men may be found drinking tea under simHar conditions while professors and instructors gather in their Common Room for the same purpose.

Membership in a Union Society includes membership in various affiliated clubs. The men have a special Chess and Games Room and they have also a fine Athletic Ground in Peri vale Hall. Here the members of the Cricket, Hockey, Association and Rugby Football Clubs enjoy their sports. The Racquet and Lawn Tennis Clubs are provided with courts within the enclosure of the College and the Boxing, Gymnastic, and Fen cing Club has its headquarters in the gymnasium. Besides the Tea and Maga zine Clubs, the Women's Union maintains a Debating Society and Hockey, Gymnastic, Boating , and Swimming Clubs. The mere names of these various organizations indicate that the reputation which the English have for sports is weJl-founded.

422 THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

Many departmental socie ties which are not associated with the Union Societies exist. These include the Literary, Historical , Musical, Philosophical, Critical and Natural Science Societies . The membership is open both to men and to women students and to members of the teaching staff. These societies issue little yearly programmes and the meet ings are so timed that the various organizations do not in terfere with one another. Meetings are held in departmental libraries , l ocated on the same floor with the fine main library, and they are always preceded by tea and a social hour. My personal experience has been limited to membership in the Literary Society but I have been present as a guest at other societies and have always been impressed by the strict parliamentary orde r in which business is conducted and by the old-fashioned etiquette which prevails when the speakers are formally thanked after the paper of the day has been freely and, sometimes mercilessly, discussed.

The Christian Associations, branches of liThe Student Movement" as it is called in England, are organized on much the same plan that is found in America. In London, however, their a ctivi ties are extrem ely varied and they find opportunity f or much social work. Many students are particularly interested in social problems and they were responsible f or the most successful "Conference of Students on Social Problems" which was held at the close of the spring holidays

The Union Societies also carry on cha ritable and social work. Many students give at least one evening a week during the college year to work in some branch of The Childrens' Happy Evenings Association, an o rganizati on which is doing much to keep poor child ren from the London streets . F o r years, the Union Societies have financed and managed a Christmas tree and tea for the children of the two large public schools in o ne of the poorest quarters of the west end.

Among all th ese varied o rganizations the re is, however, nothing which corresponds in any way to OUT American co llege fraternities . The students of my acquaintance have shown great interest in our customs and I have been frequ ently asked to tell them something of American student life. I was amused at the remark of a cleareyed little English girl who said to me one evening, after she had

STUDENT LIFE AT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

asked innumerable searching questions about fraternities: uWell, I should think you Americans were mu ch m o re exclusive in your socalled dem oc racy than we are in our monar chy!' I do not know how it may be in other English colleges but at University College, the mem bers take pride in the absence of any evidence of class di stinction. uWe all meet on the sam e ground here" said the Lady Superintendent to me, Hand among our women you may find representatives of all classes from a peer ' s daughter to the graduate of a free schoo1."

As a fraternity woman interested in the anti-Greek controve r sy, I have enjoyed studying the socia l situation in a non-fraternity university. Though the evils which accompany fraternity organization are lacking, their good effects are also quite as conspicuous by th ei r absence. Almost no inte rcollegiate bond exists between the colleges of th e vario us universities and, furthermore, there is no evidence of any such s trong personal tie between college and alumnus as is furnished by a fraternity.

The most interesting feature about University College, however, is its cosmopolitanism. I am never tired of watching the c rowds wh icl1 throng the long main corridor between lectures. Here co mes a group of young Egyptians who are studying in the engineering department and there loiters an Ind ian student who has come to England to learn the language and to study in a department which will prepare him for the Indian Civil Service .

It is probably owing larg ely to its location that University College attracts so many f orei gn students, for it seems as if n ot only alI the provinces of the Empire but all the nations of the earth were there represented. For example, during a single course, I had fo r my seatmate during the first term , a young Russian woman, during th e second, a German lady, and during the third , an American woman

from U t ah who chanced, at that time to be the only American student, besides myself.

The great social event of the year at University College is "Foundation \Veek" which comes in March and resembles in some ways, the Jumor \Veek as conducted in some American colleges. This year, the students petitioned that all papers and e xaminations for the term should be given before a certain date in March and, consequently, when Foundation Week arrived, every one was care free and the whole college was e n fe/e.

One afternoon was given up to a Field Day on the athletic grounds whe r e a new pavilion was dedicated j two evenings were occupied with the perfonnances of Dryden's "Conquest of Granada," the various societies held open meetings during the week, and the Men's Union had their annual dinner. The last evening of the week was the most important for it was then the Foundation Day oration and reception was given. This was attended by hundreds of students and their friends. First, the guests ascended the central staircase beneath the dome, which was lined with palms and flowering plants . At the head of the staircase eac h one was presented by a uniformed "beadle" to the young president of the Men's Union under whose auspices the reception was given Then the guests promenaded in the corridors or wandered about the rotunda in which is located the "Flaxman Gallery" where the works of England's foremost sculptor are gathered.. Soon they were summoned to the Botanical Theatre which is a very poor public hall when compared with the main assembly room of any of our American colleges. On this occasion, however, it furnished a background for a very brilliant spectacle for all who could wore academic dress and the scarlet gowns and vari-colored hoods combined with the gorgeous evening dresses worn by the ladies made the theatre look like a gay flowergarden. Every year, some chosen professor gives on this occasion an oration on one of the famous founders of the college. This year, the subject chosen was iiThomas Campbell" and the oration was delivered by Professor A. M. Housman a most popular man who, after many years' connection with the college had just accepted a chair in Cambridge University . He is justly celebrated for his wit as well as his learning and the oration was most entertaining. The refreshments were served in t.he Refectory and, afterwards, people assembled in the main library which is a beautiful apartment, decorated in the Italian style, where the college's rarest books and

manuscripts wer e on view. There an o r chestral concert was given. This may give some idea of a f o rmal function which is peculiar to University College and is, consequently, much more lDteresting than the formal dances and ca rd- parties which the Union Societies occasional1y give in the Refectory during the winter months.

uA winter in London will be an education in itself" said one of my professors at Boston Unive rs ity, when I sailed for England and, more than once, I have realized the truth of his words. It if true that something of the r omantic atmosphere which surrounds Oxford and Cambridge is lacking at University College but that is furnished, in a measure, by the wonderful city of London itself with all its background of history. The library advantages of the British Muse um added t o the resou r ces of the Co ll ege Library offer privileges of a kind which cannot be s urpassed, while in the co ll ege itself may be found some of the best instruction that can be obtained in the British Isles. For here there exists that rare combination of the old and new in a university set in the surroundings of a glo riou s past and yet ep itom izing in itself the spirit of the n ew age upon which the British Empire has entered.

Helen A. Meserve, Massachusetts A, '02, who has recently r eturned to her home in Allston, Mass. after three years' se rv ice as a teacher in IlColegio Chihuahuense," Chihuahua, Mex ico, gives the following interesting accou nt of her unusual journey t o EI Paso. This talk Miss Meserve gave at the June meeting of the Bos t on alumnae club :

IlBut how did you finally reach the bo rd er?" is what they all ask the first thing. Well , it was decidedly a problem, inasmuch as I left Mexico before th e peace treaty was signed, consequent ly before the r epai r of the railroads. It is 225 miles from Chihuahua to EI Paso and it takes ordinarily eight hours on the Mexican Central Railway. As that road with its 28 burnt bridges was out of the question, I joined a party of two American families and we left Chihuahua the morning of May 18 on a short line which the insurrectos had recently allowed to resume traffic as they needed the r oad for ammunition and food supplies. This train carried us to Mad era, th e largest lumber camp in the world, I am told. This

part of the journey though uneventful was interesting, as we passed through se veral battiefields,-Mal Paso drew our attention part icularly, on account of its situation. Ae every station a group of insu"uto! clattered up to the train and a few would board it to see if any soldiers or ammunition might be concealed. At Madera we had to wait until Sund ay morning as there was some diffic ulty about obtaining pack animal s . But finally arrangements we re co mpl eted and we left that morning on th e caboose o f a co nstru c ti on train, Ueo n permiso de Madero/I who allowed the wo rk on this new road to proceed with out interruption . Sunday afternoon we r ea ched Smith' s Camp, th e end of the road on th e eas t side o f the mountai ns; th e re we f ound OUT animals and after a camp dinner and a brief rest, we started on this third stage of the journey, the most int eres ting but the most tiring of all. We followed the trail until about eight o'clock that night when we mad e camp in a cafion with a beautiful clear stream fl o wing at one side. The m OBO S (servants and guides ) built fires and fed them all night l ong to keep away wild animals and to temper the cold m ountain winds; and the n we la y d o wn on a pile o f blankets und e r the near stars and slept in God 's great out-of-doors. At least the others did ; I couldn't sleep mu ch as I was too inte rested in the novel experience. Earl y the next mo rning we washed in the bitter co ld stream, ate a burried breakfas t, broke camp and loaded up th e pack mules . We rode through th e wild est, most beautiful mountain region ,-at times i t seemed as if the horses simply could not mana ge the almost perpendicular slopes, but they hung on with marvelous skill and brought us safely to another construction camp where we spent the night-not out-of-doors as we had anticipated , f or the superintendent very kindly gave up his comfortable bungalow t o us women and we obtained a much nee ded rest on a rea l bed. The next morning we rode in the caboose of a work train to P earson and there we made co nnec tion with the Juarez tra in, passing throu gh Casas Grandes, which has bee n th e most important revo luti onary centre for that part of th e state f ro m the beginning

Eighteen kilometers fr om Juarez, we passed the grave of Captain Creighton, the American insurrecto and bridge-dest royer. In Jua rez there we re many sad evide nces of th e recent siege and capture of th e city. After passing the customs, we we re allowed to land on United States soil at El Paso, where it delighted our hearts to see Uncle Sam's soldiers guarding the border. This was May 23, and SO we made a journey of eight hours in just six days.-Lift and Sight.

REPORT

OF THE SPEECH OF THE REVEREND H. P . VAUGHN OP UNION

THEOLOGI CAL SEMf NA RY

I think that this is a sp l endid thin g that you have undertaken. A fraternity needs an objective. We have neglected the big things We have not in the past paid enough attention to the other side of the question:-What a r e you going to do with knowledge? What are you going to do with influence ?

I am d o uhly interested in these people. There is a tradition in our family that I belo ng to the mountains My fath er was a mou ntainee r, born in the mountain s of Carolina, and when I got among them I felt like I was back home. I was n ot a missionary, but a coll ege man Qut for th e summer acting as an agent. I took life about as easy as the mountain eers.

First of all, they are hosp itable. There were several of us wh o contracted to meet on Sunday and re late our experience, and wh en I go t back th e first week and the boys began t o te ll how much they had spent, I felt ashamed . I thought I had been imposing on people. My total expenses f o r the week were twenty cents. I don't know why I spent that I I enjoyed being with the p eo pl e so much I felt like I was home, and they felt so, too. They felt it was an "IIense to offer them anything.

There is a hook published in the last few years by D avenport, called IIPrimitive Traits in Religious Revivals." In that book there is the best scientific d iscu ssion of th e m ountain people. Many hooks have been published by missionaries, and so f o rth , but they have been more o r less superficial. This, however. has gotten at the root of that interesting phenomenon, th e Kentucky r evival. The people are l a r ge ly S cotch - Irish It is said that they are so fond of th eological di scussion that if the potato crop should fail any year th ey could live on the shorter catechism. They are a lso an emotjonal type of people, and r esponded r eadily to the religious movement. Th ey had t o be a lert and r eady to d efend thems elves. They were f earl ess of anything th ey could put their fingers on, anything th at

they a ctually kne w abo ut, but wh en powerful p r eache rs came d o wn and preached about d evil s and hell , it co mpl e tely s wept th em a way. They had back i n their consc iousness the f ee ling th a t they were vio latin g everything when th ey refused to ca rry out the teachings of Knox and Calvin They kn e w that th ey were d oi ng wro ng. Th en th ey becam e alarmed and th ere was a s tamped e. It is to be h oped that no such thing will ever occur agai n . I am a minister and no t tryin g to discount r eli gio us r evi val s-but religion and morality mus t go hand in hand .

They are a m ot o r emotiona l peop le, wit h a t en dency t o ward the dogmati c When th ey get anythin g i n their h eads th ey s ti ck to it Great preachers, philosophers, and thin ke r s will co me fro m th e mountain people. Some o f th eir m ost inte r es tin g d iscu ssions a re religiou s. You hav e to be careful about word s with them , because they d efi ne word s. One man, for instance, los t out because h e tr ied to have them repeat, in th e c r eed , the word s, UHoly Catholic Church." They replied, UN o t for us." It is a fi ght between Methodi s ts, Presbyterians, and Bapti sts. N o othe r s n eed apply .

Mos t of the people that I saw lived along the French Broad River, from Morristown , Tenn., t o Asheville , N. C. Th ey live in th e open air, and the women at forty, m other s of large families, loo k scar ce l y more than twenty. Th e f ami l ies in th e m ou ntains ar e scarce ly ever less than t en. One man , who cons idered himse lf peculiarly unf ortunate because he had no c hildren, explained it to me in this way : "A man and his wife and six chi ldren ca n hoe eig ht r ows of co rn at a time . I , with my wife and no children, can hoe only tw o r o ws . Don't you see th at they are four times as we ll off as I am?"

Th ey d o no t have a br oad outl ook upon lif e beca use th ey are cut loose fr om thin gs. There is only one dece nt r ail r oad that goes south fr om H ot Springs That was put in at g reat expense by the go vernm ent. The ir only othe r way of communicating with the outside world is through the county newspaper, and I want to say right bere, all hono r t o the county newspaper ! It usually has mor e comm on sense and a broader outl ook on life than m os t of our ci ty papers. It is unprej udi ced. There is no boss behind i t t o say what shall be printed and wh a t s hall n ot be p rinted These men and women actu all y read the newspaper and think abo ut what they r ead. I found one man , who couldn't read but had had the newspaper r ead

to him , who could upset all our talking on the tariff because he had done some thinking. They think c onsec utively and I hope that in the work that is d one down there you will take into conside rati on th eir logica l type of mind and the fact th at they work things through to an end.

I want to tell you abo ut th e mos t interesting cha racter 1 met. N o man eve r impressed me mOTe th an Jahn Williams. After I had go tt en away f rom the railroad about fifteen miles I began to find I could take n o mo re orders for books. Noone want ed to buy. But presently people began to say, U\V e can 't buy this, but J ohn Williams will buy one,lI So I became interested in J ohn Williams.

About three o'clock I came to his house. There was a woman outside picking berries, and I walked up to the ga te and asked if I might spend th e n ight th er e.

The woman looked up . "S tran ge r, did below th e h o use? That's th e s upper-tab l e. that, come in. U

you see that bria r patch If you can put up with

Prese ntly a wa gon stopped at th e gate and I saw a man of fifty o r more climb d ow n. As he sta rted to get d own, he saw that th ere was a stranger th ere .

"Hello, stranger."

And I replied, ClHello."

"Can I spend the n ight h ere ?"

I said, "Stranger, did you see that briar-patch below th e house? That 's the supper-table. If you can put up wi th that , come in ."

That was J ohn Will iams. We talked until one o'clock, and we are friends to this day .

H e was one of the s unn iest fellows . H e had a wife and f ou rteen c hildren,-and two rooms in his h ouse. Talk about the t enementhouse proposition! With all out -of-doo r s to spare they build these little tw o- r oo m shacks. I hope yo u will teach them to build beautiful log-h ou ses . Th ey can do it .

Th ere were fourteen childr en and no education. Then one day a woman from th e Presbyterian H orne Mission B oard start ed a schoo' about ten mil es away. John Williams co ul d no t a ff ord to send his childr en there to board, neith er could they go back and forth every day, so h e bought eigh t a cr es of land as close as he cou ld ge t to the sch oolh ouse. Th is was a coup l e of miles away, but they didn't mind walking that. They built a log-cabin with a lo ft H e co uld

furnish food, and tuition was Cree, and in this way he sent seven of his children to school.

He told how proud he was of his little boy Henry, who made the g reatest progress of any child in school. I was much interested to see Henry, and presently, as we were seated at the supper-table ( not in the briar-patch, by the way) little Henry came in. He had been to school one year. He was four inches taller than I, weighed 175 pounds, and had a really distinguished moustache.

Don't f o rg et that these people are influenced mOTe by their environment than you are ever going to influence them . Any school you put up is going to be affected by their personality. Take them into conside rati on or you will be discouraged. They shou ld be taught soil cultivation, dairying, sheep-growing, fruit-farming, as well as house-building. Millions are going away from there. There are four millions of these mountaineers, with only e ighteen to a square mile. Why should they not be prepared to stay right there and build up industries? They can do it and they ought to do it.

The people who leave the mountains, those who go to the cotton mills, are not the best type. They have very large families and put their children into the mills, while the men stay at home, and do nothing. Most of them become drunk. They look upon their children simp l y as so many lIhands." The chi ldren suffe r in the mills and many of them die . A man who had l ost one of his children complained bitterly, HGod's been hard on me. He t ook one of my best hands." There was no thought of the child-but he had lost fifty cents a day I

The possibilities among the mountaineers themselves are the best we have to-day. You will find that there has already been something d one.• There are schools there, forty, fifty, or one hundred and fifty miles apart, and let it be said to their everlasting honor, you can't go within ten miles of a school without knowing it. The Farm School, close to Asheville, N. C., is the only one doing anything for the boys. Public opinion says that there must be compulsory education, but that is extremely hard in this mountain reg ion . With this chance that you have to go in there and build a school that is worth while I think that you are going to get at the very best element in Our population . You have a great opportunity before you.

AD DRESS OF D R. WALTER H. PA GE OF THE GENERAL EO UC ATION

EDlTOR O F T H E W ORK

Mr. Page spoke fir st of the beauty of the south ern Appalachians, and said that th ey were sure to beco me on e of th e most beautiful play-g r o und s in the world, a p l ay-g round f o r the people of all the southern and so uth easte rn s tat es and th e Mississippi Valley. The problem of the country is to be so lv ed by d eve lopmen t a nd transportation , and the problem of the peop le can be solved, too, and is not far off from being solved.

uFrankly," he said, III should not establish a sc hoo l th e re if I had the money to do it. Send your money and your workers th e re , by all m eans , but d o n't start a school."

He then trace d briefly the histo ry o f th ese peop l e, and told how they came from England, and aTe of good, unm ixed stock, in shor t, real peopl e j yet , on the other hand , he said , th e re is the tale that when the e migrants we re going ove r the mountains the roads we re rough and the wagons broke down . The energetic ones me nded their wago ns and went cn,-the lazi es t didn't mend th ei rs, and stopped,-and these are the southern mountain ee rs.

"There are varying de g rees of poverty, but th e peop le a re all poo r:. There is little tillable land. The people are not indus tr io us. Th ey love to shoot and hunt and roam . Th ey hav e no t the means of making a living acco rding to modern condi ti ons , and l ive the life of a frontiersman one hundred and fifty years ago. They have exci ted the pity and in terest and c harity of generation aft e r generatio n. Missionaries have gone among them and many, many schools have been establ ish ed there.

14Let us see what happens in the case of a sc hoo l. With a few exceptions, when a boy is educated, little or muc h , o f course he goes away. There is nothing there for an educated man to d o. To a great extent this is true of the women also. Th e school has taken people away. Therefore if they had been taken away before they were educated it would have accomplished the same thing . T e n are educated , nine go away. You could have bou g ht railroad tickets down into the valleys at mu ch less expense. Educ ati on means emigration j it ought to mean it. There is a school at Asheville for mountain girls, where they are taught industries, and where every effort is mad e to send them back into the mountains. They all try to get away j they d on't want to go bac k.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

UThe cotton mills do their part in getting the people away from the mountains. Conditions in the mills may be good or bad, but the fact remains that they get the people away. Just as soon as the roads and railroads go through there th ey also will bring the people down.

III think all this is in the right direction. My cure for the thing is the country. Even the people that stay in the mountains will give up the miserable life they aTe leading when the r oads bring to them knowledge of a better life. The schoo l is simply mac hin ery faT disper sing them.

HIn eastern Tennessee there are to·day mOTe colleges in proportion to population than anywhere else on the surface of the earth,-more colleges in proportion to population than there are in Massachusetts, ten times as many as there are here in New York. Don't go down and establish another. Many of them are doing good work, but most of them are starving. Their men are coming to New York and begging for money. A public schoo l grows all the time, never dies out, is never forgotten, is always rich. A private school never is. The state can afford to keep a school. A private individual can't. As the long neglected public school system of that country develops itself, it is going to do the same thing that you want to do, with this difference--the state establishes a school and it is endowed forever. You es tabli sh a school and you wear yourselves out begging for it.

"All th e states are waking up. There have been more high schools built in Virginia in the last ten years than existed in all the southern states ten years ago. The states will have eno ugh in time. They are slow, but it is going to happen.

"The method I am going to propose lacks one quality: it would not be a lastin g monument of you r society. Teach them how to multiply their own crops on their own land . All the rest will follow."

Mr. Page then told of the work of Dr. S A. Knapp of Washington, who had con ceived the idea of literally foo lin g the farmers into raising larger crops. He asked us to get entirely out of our minds any idea of a school, anything like formal teaching, to forget for the moment that things co uld be taught by books, and to think simply of the men sent out by Dr. Knapp to show the mountaineers in a practical way what could be done by intelligent farming, hard work, and good seed. A man would go to one of these farmers, for exampJe, and tell him that the government wanted to try an experiment

on h is land, and would finally get him to cult ivate two acres out of his ten under the direc ti on o f this agent. Then, when the crop was ready, the age nt w ould "happen" in that n eig hborhood again, and find that th e two acres yie lded as mu ch co tton as the other eight; in stead of the usual one·third of a bale per acre, th e r e would be two bales pe r acre. Then he would get all th e farmers in the neighborhood t ogether and confess that th e governmen t was not at all interested in any special experime nt, but that it wan t ed to show what cou ld be done by scie nt ific method s Th e re hav e been places in the South that hav e been absolutely changed within the last coupl e o f years by thi s m ea ns. The people rai sed b ett e r c r ops, they mad e m or e m on ey, th ey built be tter houses, they voted in favor of a school t ax, they developed p r ospero us comm unities. The men who are interested in t his w ork realize what can be accomp l ished They are absolutely d evoted to it . "The very apostles themselves had no higher zea l than these agents who go about f ooli n g the old clod h opper into improv in g his land ."

"But all t his didn't r each th e women . Dr. Knapp knew that th e wome n in the farm -h ouse was still a drud ge. "How can we get so meth ing parall e l to this farm work insi d e of th e iso l ated co untry house?" he q u estioned .

Ten thousand dollars in th e hands of devoted people, natives, I should think, would regenerate and refonn thousands and thousands of families who now have no social life and whose family and economic life is so low that it excites our profoundest pity . That is the way that the woman who is cut off from civilization can best be reached.

I trust you will pardon me the rudeness of daring to advise you not to do what you have in mind, because it cannot last a hundred years, because there are already hundreds of schoo ls and they have to be maintained artifically. The South is going to be one of the richest agricultural regions of the whole earth and you have a chance to help in its development. The states of Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia , are now making more rapid progress in public educational work than public educational work has eve r made within the same l ength of time.

At the beginning of the winter term of colleee in that year she undertook to get some girls to become members of the 10 rO lis. Two joined. and all the winter she and they urged otbers of us to unite. Early in the spring we decided that the only way to avoid their entreatiel witb o ut being ru de was t o form a club of our own. We th ought over thi s (or a week, day by day f ee ling more favorable toward l uc h plan •. A meeting of the twelve was held; the matter was thor o ughly disclfssed pro and con-when we adjourned to meet one week from that night. We met according t o appointment, organized, e lec ted our officers , appointed co mmitt«s for constitution and other things, selected what we wanted for our badge, and in lell than two w«ks had the pins rea d y to wear to chapel and astound not only the faculty but also the entire body of s tudents-with the exception of us twelve 1< 1. C.... The look that came over the f acel of the three girls who were wearing "A" pins is beyond description, and excitement ran high. The f ac t o f oar being organized had been kept a profound secret. Our meeting together from time to time did not excite any curiosity for the twelve of UI had always been such close friends that it was no unusual thing t o see us toge th er o n the camp us and elsewhere enjoying ourselves. Thus no l uspic . ions were aroused and the consternation was the greater when we appeared wearing the beaatiful arrow, with the le tters "I. C.," over our heart l. The guessing and coaring that followed I shall never forget. It seemed s trange that n o one ever guessed quite right. Befor e wearing our pins we decided that in conversation with others whenever we co uld we would u se " I. c.;" that i., in p l ace of saying "ye." as many do when li s tening to one talk, we would say " I. C.," thus throwing the curious ones off their guard as to the meaniug of the letters

Thos e were happy so happy-and I only hope the girl s n o w have a s good times as we had; I am sure they do. I had other thing s I thought to write of but maybe some of the other founders will mention the s e. Of the house·party lasting a whole week, in the country at the h o me o( one o( the girls-and too of the pin tbat was stolen by the roommate o( one of the girls and what a time we had getting it-so many things might be told f o r your m«ting that would be new to you and o( interest. H oping you will have a good m«ting and wishing you all success, I am yours i n Pi Phi loya lt y , ( M RS . ) JUN M. T URNBULL.

The second letter came fr om Ada Bruen, now Mrs Grier. Her memo ry played her false in assigning to Kappa Kappa Gamma a date earlier than that of the founding of 1. C. Kappa's history states that the socie ty was founded in October, 1870, nearly three years after 1. C.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

16 Thomas Ave ., Bellevue, Pa. February 14. 1911.

My DEAR. MRS M UllDOCK

I remember as if it were ye s terday the first steps taken i n the founding of the " I. c." fraternity. Emma Brownlee, Fannie Whiten ac k , Libbi e Brook, and myself had wondered what co uld be done in this direction, bad even talked it over a little but had not fully decided to go forward in the matter Libbie Brook and myself were roommates and classmates in '6 7. and on a Saturday morning we decided to go ove r and interview th ese girls. The result was that we decided to organize in case we con ld induce ou r fricnds whose names appear on the li st of charte r members to unite with u s. We persuaded them t o come with u s; indeed th ey were Quite willing to do 60. I think our first meeting was held at Fanny Whitenack's, a purely business m eeting and rather a bilarious o«:asion it was too, for we were not si lver -b ai red ladie s in tbose days but deddedly lively school girls. How and what to do was the question before us. We knew th ere were fraternities; indeed there were a number in the college and their members wore pins. This was the extent of our kn ow ledge. Of one thing we w ere certain; w e must have a name. W e must have a cons tituti on. We must have a pin. ( I think perhaps the pin came first in our thought; that was very, very impo rtant). W e decided upon the name tbat evening-Independent Club (I. C.) A committee was appointed to frame a constituti on and a com mittee to decide upon the design for a pin. I was on the pin commi ttee and recall our visits to the jewelry stores. We 6nally decided u pon the arrow. If my memory se r ves me accurately the chain was added.

I rec ollect a college socia l we attended in a body the first eveni ng we wo re our arrows. D r. W allace, our president, had given the young ladies a lecture and had impressed u pon them tbe impropriety of going with the boys Sabbath evenings and suggested in case we could n ot pers ua de a member of the family or a girl friend t o accompany us, we should be perfectly safe in taking a lantern and going alone. Accordingly on this Friday eve. as we were members in good and regular standing of the Indepe ndent Club we decided t o take onr lanterns and go &lone. Some of us perhaps permitted the boys to carry o ur lanterns h ome. \Ve c reated quite a sensa tion that evening-the first intimation that a new sta r had arisen above the Two girl fraternities p r eceded our s, the A, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma; both had their birth in our college. I do not think the A is in existence now. We little expected in those early days that we should some time be a national organization. The you nger generation has labored faithfully and wisely t o this end.

With best wishes for the (uture,

Very sincerely, (MIS ]. A.) ADA BaUEN GRIU.

The third letter from Mrs. Kilgore (Emma Brownlee) indicates that the spirit of service which we are sometimes wont to r egard as characteristic of the twentieth century had an earlier beginning:

Mv DEAR GIRLS:

THE BEGINNING

Monmouth, ilL, February 18, 1911

The most important things on earth were once small If we I. CS. wbo met in 1867 coold have seen Pi Beta Pbi of 10-day, what would have been uppermost in our minds? We did not comprehend the baU we set in motion

When the postman bands me the Anow my bead and my heart grow large when I say uYe., that is ours."

I can see the girls as we met in Ada's and Lib' s room. Would yOIl like to know bow flU were initiated? Ah! that is an un revealed secret.

A, I rcad of the coming sc h ool among the mountain whites it remind s me of the "I. C. spirit for o thers. " The first winter, I remember, we bough t th e coal for a poo r man's home; he and his wife conside red u s a uni ce bunch of girls." We did not know what a se<:ret society should do so we concl u ded tbat should be onc of our secrets.

The young men were very anxio u s to know the meaning of I. C.; we soon informed them that it might mean Ice Cream!

We founders are very proud of our beautiful and cha r ming daughters. Lovingly,

(MRS. J. Co) EMMA BROWNLEE KIl..oon.

The f ou rth lette r , from Mrs. Gaddis ( Libbie Brook ) gives us a further glimpse into the past:

1251 Main St., Galesburg, Ill. February 21, 1911.

M y DEAR MR S. MURDOCK:

Late am I? Well. my dear. I've been in the hospital and had a difficult operatio n, and am jus t gelling ab l e to en joy going about the house, so may I be f or given? I do n ot recall any incidents of our ear l y life that have n o t been told over and over aga in It may not be known to you that when I w ent f or on e term to Towa W es leyan University and organized the first ch apte r afte r Monmouth, I f ound plenty of good mate ri al for a l arger chapter Selecting what I thought were the very best there were several othe r s who would have made good Pi Phis but the number was limited. Those that were left. feeling disappointed and a little "so re" perhaps, organized a sorosis called P. E. O. which h as since developed into a chari t ab le society. It is a select organization and highly respectable They were inspired (?) by our efforts to go and tr y to do likewise. I am sorry I canno t furnish yo u with just what you want.

With best wishes for your meeting,

Matern a lly yours, MRS. GADDIS.

REPORTS OF ALUMNJE CLUBS

AMES ALUMNA: CLUB

The alumn", club of Pi Beta Phi at Ames, Jowa has had its usual number of meetings during the year. The first was in the form of a dinner, given by two of the members of the club. To this the members of the active chapter were invited. Mrs. Harriet Elden Rynerson of Carthage, Mo. was a most welcome guest. Two new members were initiated, May Chase, I o wa Gamma, '10, who returned to teach in the mathematical department; and Stacey Turney, Jowa Alpha, who is instructo r in the chemical department. As their initiation "stunt" they were asked to write and give a shor t play, which they did in a most amusing manner .

The second meeting was held down town at the house of one of the club members where she with the other two down town members entertained also th e members of the active chapter. The school for the mountaineers was discussed and a committee was appointed to arouse an interest among Iowa Gamma members. To this end a letter was written to every member of I owa Gamma, and as a result $181.50 was sent to our provin ce president before the close of April. Since then the additional sum of $5 has been recei ved and we are very happy that so much interest has been shown by the chapter.

The members of the club and of the active chapter were entertained at a sewing-bee one Saturday afternoon this spring, in honor of Ginevra Cessna, Iowa Beta, who is spending the year with her brother on our campus, and Ruth Cessna, her niece, who is an Iowa Gamma pledge.

In May three of the alumnre m embe rs entertained the club in the afternoon at supper. The tables were prettily decorated with wood violets, and delicious refreshments were served by the two daughters of one of the hostesses-the one a high sc hool gi rl and the othe r a freshman and the first Pi Phi pledge of the year. The afternoon was spent in a short business meeting and in the initiation of • three new members. Mrs . Edna Everett Bush , Cessna, and May Stoddard; music , a debate, and a poe m comprised the programme given by the initiates .

On the mo rning of Commencement Day we had our first Pi Beta Phi breakfast , a most delightful affair, and an event wh ich we hope

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

to make an annual custom . The breakfast was held at the chapter house and most of the active girls and several alumnre were present. A very good breakfast was served and a jolly good time was spent together.

One of OUT number will leav e us at the end of the college year, Carrie Watters who is now Mrs. Fre nch and who will begin her hom e making in a few weeks. She ca me to us as a member of Iowa Zeta and has been a very active and helpful m ember of the club and we greatly regret that she is to l eave us

ARKANSAS-OKLAHOMA ALUMNA': CLUB

At th e re ce nt Founders' Day lun cheon held in th e home of Oklahoma Alpha, the Arkansas-Oklah oma Alumnre Club was reo r ganized There were not very many alumnre presen t but through the efforts of this newly reorganized club we hope to do a great d ea l of good and also to bring about mo re interest among the Pi Phis who are scattered over the two states.

Mrs. Emma Patton N ab le, Iowa Beta of Sapul pa, a prominent P . E. O. in the state and Mrs. Laura Gray H oy t , r owa Gamma, also a well known P . E . O. were very interesting visitors at this meeting.

Mary CampbelJ of Arkansas Alpha was elected president of the Arkansas -O klahoma alumnre club, Mrs_ Laura Gray H oyt, of Iowa Gamma, treasu rer, and Wynn Ledbetter of Oklahoma Alpha, sec· r etary.

ATHENS ALUMNA': CLUB

Monthly meetings were held by the Athens Alumna! Club. As it was inconvenient for many of our members to attend our six o'clock dinners we changed our time of meeting to seven wheq, after our business meeting, a social hour was spent and light refreshments were served.

On Founders' Day we entertained the active ch apter with a spread and made a contribution to th eir piano fund.

Our club has vo ted to assist in the sett lement school movement Our cont r ibution will be raised this year by an assessment. Dur ing the current year our interests have been directed to the active

AUSTIN ALUMNIE CLUB

On Thursday, Jun e I , 1911 the Austin alummc met at the h ome of Elizabeth Wilm ot and elected t he following office r s : Florence Randolph, president; Helen Garrison. secretar y; Elizabeth Wilmot, treasurer. W e agreed to have four r egu lar meetings next yearin October, January, Mar ch, and May-t o pay yearly dues, and to impose fin es fo r ab se nce or tardiness . During the summer th ere will be informal gatherings of the girls who stay in Austin; and some time before September we are going t o e mbr oide r the tablec10th and napkins that we have just bought for th e chapte r house. The Austin alwnn re have had occasiona l mee tings before this, and this sp r ing we began t o work. for the mountain school fund. A tea at Mrs. Caswe ll 's and an appeal to all th e alumn", of Texas Alpha brought $70 into the treasury. Our Jun e meeting, however, marks the real beginning of our activities ; for in joining the alumnre association we hope to accomplish something that will prove us to be loyal Pi Phis . HELEN GARRISON.

BALTIMORE ALUMNIE CLUB

The Baltimore Alumn", Club holds regular monthly meeti ngs from October to June at the homes of its members. For the year 1910 - 11 , although we had no stated programme, for each meeting we had some interesting topic, such as: Maryland Alpha chapter , her needs and interests; the ARROW as compared with other fraternity magazines; our Founders' Day banquet in co mmon with th e Washington gi rls both active and alumnre; and, always of interest to us all, the settlement school plan. Our club is f o r the mos t part socia l-each member , of course, has her own interests in philanthropic or c har itab le work, but as a club we have purely social times to ge ther . All the Pi Phi s whom we hear of in Baltimore are invited to beco me members of our club, and except when they are prevented by household duties or heavy work along lines of study, our town Pi Phis are loyal members of our club.

Most co rdial r elations exist between Maryland Alpha, ou r active chapt er, and the alumna! club. Represen tatives fr om th e chapter at ways attend th e alumna! club meetings and an exc hange of en te r -

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

tainments goes on through the year. Our last was the reunion picnic supper given by the club to all the Pi Phis in town as well as to all who returned for the commencement days at Goucher.

OUT only practical plan for raising funds for the settlement school was by the pledge system which has been quite satisfactorily carried out. Our club of a dozen is too small to undertake a play OT a musical so each girl has pledged a certain amount to the fund, and what our club Jacks in numbers it tries to make up in interest and enthusiasm for the plan. IsABEL DRURy·HEUBECK.

BERKELEY ALUMNIE CLUB

The Berkeley Alumnre Club had its annual election of officers in the early fall resulting in the choice of Jess Parks-Richard for president, Florence Ziegenfuss-Briggs for vice-president, Edith E. White faT treasuTeT, and Elsie E. H owell fOT secretary. We find that holding meetings once a month (the second Tuesday) is not a bit too often, for although the membership is smalle r than we should lik e it to be, the in terest is great. We sho uld like, throu gh the to make it known to any Pi Phis taking up their residence in San Francisco or its vicinity, that we should be very glad to be notified of their addresses and to have them join the club . We enjoyed meeting Mrs. Harvey Gray (Mindwell Crampton, Indiana B ) recently and had Mrs. Charles Cobb (Ella Rogerson, New York A) at several meetings during her winter here. She very kindly on one occasion entertained the alumnre at her home.

We keep in touch with our nearest chapter, California Beta, by dropping in at the chapter house to their Thursday afternoon informal teas, o r at any convenient time, and by always inviting several active girls to the alumnre meetings to get them well acquainted with us and vice versa, and to keep in touch with the happenings in their college life.

At their January initiation an unusually large number of alumna! answered "present" to the Toll call. Then again on Founders' Day, Elma Korbel , '03 , invited California B and the alumnre to her beautiful home in San Rafael, a suburb of San Francisco. The luncheon was served on long tables in a wistaria-covered pergola. We were most fortunate in having our province president, Mrs. Currens, with us on this day. To meet so many old and new fraternity sisters and to realize what good friends they are fills one with Pi Phi

spmt. W. are very grateful to Elma Korbel and wil1 remember the day f o r a long time t o co me

We have n o w discontinued our meetings f or the summer, but will commen ce again the latter part o f August, and shaH hope that our numbers and strength wilJ con t in ue to improve.

BOSTON ALUMNA;; C LUB

The Boston Alumn", Club is glad t o report a busy and prosperous year. We have held regular mee tings on the seco nd Saturday of each month , and have also had a few special affairs. We have not had a printed programme f o r the who le year, as has been our custom, but we hope to arrange one for the coming year.

OUT dub belongs to the national Sunshine S ocie ty We planned to keep up this work last winter, but all our efforts were expended in raising our share of the settlement school fund.

We try very hard to get the names and addresses o f al1 Pi Phis from other chapters who come to Boston. We call on them, and invite them to our meetings, and particularly to the banquets. Some respond, but there are others who have lived near Boston for years, without ever making the slightest effort to make themselves known to us. The alumn re of Massachusetts Alpha, in this vicinity, with very few exceptions, belong to the club. During the past year , we have had sixty-two paid up members . Very few of these live near enough to Boston to attend many of our meetings, but, in one way or another, they keep in touch with our work

We have helped the active chapter by paying the r oom rent f or several weeks, while the chap ter was small. When college opens in the fall , we are to give a silver loving cup to the girl who had the highest rank f o r the soph omo re year .

We usually give at l east one rushing party, but as there was no rushing this year, we entertained the active chapter in September by an "Aviation Meet" and co rn roast at the home of Georgia Bentley, '10, in Hyd e Park. The r eco rds for speed, get -away, endurance, altitude, and so on compared favorably with those made the same day by Graharn e- White at Squantum! Anyone desiring information as t o a strenuous, up -to-date and highly exciting form of entertainment , should apply for particulars.

The active chap ter were also our guests at the cooky shine at

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

the home of Beth Phel ps, in East D edham, by which we celebrated Foun ders' Day.

Other parti cularly pleasant meetings we r e those held in July and August, 1910, at Mrs . Nickerson's summer home in Quincy, and the initiation banquet held at the Hotel Vendome on March 18.

Our principal wor k for the past year, aside from the management o f the fraternity's 11TIdergraduate loan fund, has bee n the raising of th e money for the settlemen t school. We decided that it would be muc h easie r, and more satisfactory in e very way to ask for the m oney directly, than t o cons ume our time and ene rgy in some money·making affair, which might n ot be a success. Accordingly, letters were sent out to all Massachusetts Alpha alumnre, llnd to a few other alumme in Qur n eighbo rh ood. The matt e r was further emphasized by a toast by J ennie Allyn at the initiation banquet. The subject of the toast " P atience B egets Philanthropy' was most appropriate. Pati ence, to th e extent o f some three or four appeals, finally did beget philanthropy to the am o unt of $156 . This was given in sums ran ging from $1 to $5 by six ty-e igh t people. As many of these were girls who had be en out of tou ch w i th frat e rnity affairs for years, it s howed a deep and abiding interest in service .

This w ork seems to us to be exact ly what is need e d ,-an objec t big eno ugh, and broad enough, to e nl ist the efforts of a ll of us, something in which the isolated member can have a real share, as the groups who work toge ther in th e clubs. If this interes t is not allowed to cool, as it may be in danger o f doing n ow, th e life o f the alumnre clubs will be greatly qui ckened

W e plan to carryon our work along the same lines in the comi ng year .

BOULDER ALUMNA;; CLUB

The Boulder Alumn a: Club has expe ri enced a most delightful year. Meetings have been held on the first Wednesday afternoon o f each month at the homes of the different members.

Our chie f aim is to raise $2 , 500 t o pay on the chap ter house and to work with the active chapte r to put the house management on a more business-like basis. The result of the year's work has made us feel that our efforts have not been in vain. Our Founders' Day

celebration was held on April 29 with Colo rad o Beta and other alumna! of the state in Denver, and consisted of an informal reception at the home of Miss Biggs, in the afternoon with a banquet at the Shirley in the evening.

We have a number of our alumnre with us this summer and are very glad to welcome them home.

We are very proud of one of our members, Leila Peabody of Colorado Alpha, who has written a l itt le bookle t called R e fl e cti ons. There has been a great demand f or the book. We wish all Pi Ph is a pleasant summe r.

BURLINGTON ALUMNIE CLUB

With the passing into h is to ry of another year of her work as an organization, the Burlington Alumna! Club has the happy realization that another successful season has been added to her record. The past few months have brought many new r esponsibilities which have been bravely met. Our roll call has numbered twenty-five members, two of whom have come from neighboring towns: Eva Freeman, from Winfi eld, and Grace Mehler, from New London, both of I owa Alpha. We now have all resident Pi Phis as active members of our organization with but one exception, Thus far, the Pi Phi alumnre club is the only Greek lett er alumnre or ganization in the city, although several other Greek societies have r ep rese ntatives here. We are looking eagerly forward to the es tablishment of a Pan-Hellenic association in th e fall, plans for which we hav e under consideration

Our meetings, which had been planned for the third Saturday of each month, were not all held, owing to serious illness among our numbers. However, we have had most pleasant gatherings and are now l ooking f orward to our closing event,--our annual picnic.

The first meeting of the year was held with Mrs. S. O. Thomas, when the election of officers resulted as follows: president, Mrs. S. 0, Thomas; vice-president, Mrs. Edna Uh ler Gilman; treasurer, Sarah Burt; sec r etary, Katherine Lundgr en. We adopted no regular programme for the year, but divided the club into committees, each to plan the programme and entertainment for one meeting.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

An afternoon in October was pleasantly spent in hemming and marking towels for OUT hospital roo m. At another meeting, the ARROW was the topic of discussion, and our Settlement School has furnished material for several o f our meetings. During the early autumn, our ci ty had the scene o f a most progressive campaign f or a new Y. M. C. A. building, and our alumn", cl ub pledged $100 to th e fund. This , togeth er with our heavy expenses for our hospital r oom, prevented us Crom sending more than a "mite offering" f o r the settlement school; h owever, we have the deepest sympathy for this wo rthy project, and hope that our next contribution may be more substantial.

In Mar ch , w e held our annual food sale, in the business district of town, and were again pleased with the r es ults.

Two banquets have marked our social Hfe,--one held at Thanksgiving tim e at the h ome of the Misses Burt, proved most delightful ; Miss P oeh ler, of Kansas Alpha and her mother were guests of honor . On F ounders' Day, the club was again banqueted, at the home of Mrs. Louis Blaul,-a most beautiful s uburban home, to which we are always most eager to go. On this occasion, the spacious dining-room certainly presented a beautiful Pi Phi scene, for the center o f the table co ntained an immense bowl o f wine ca rnations, while the wine and blue candles shed the proper light. Place cards were small gilt arrows tied with wine and blue. Mrs. Blaul, our hoste ss, gave an original poem as gree ting, Mrs W. L. Cooper then delighted the guests with an o ri ginal song, depicting the trials of th e Burlingt on chapte r of l. C.

This meeting closed ou r pleasant gatherings for the year, and we are now looking forward to a bright future for the Burlingt on Alumn", C lub.

The Chicago Alumna! C lu b has had, on th e whole, a ver y pleasant and successfu l year. W e have held five meetings-O ctobe r 1, 1910 we gathered at Miss Hamm on d 's for an af ternoon me e ting where repo rts from the conventio n were read and the proposed sc hoo l discussed.

O n the Friday after Thanksgiving a lun cheo n w as gi ven at th e Chicago Beach H otel. Pr ac t ical ly the same subj ects were discussed as th is is usually Ollf larges t meeting o f the year, and we are trying to arouse widespread interest in tw o thin gs this past yea r and will also follow the same plan this year. Those thin gs are th e settlement sc hool and the co nventi on to be held in the summer of 1912.

At the meeting held the last Saturday in January at th e Blackstone Hotel, we had reports read by Leila Soule, of the worlc of the settlement school committee. This was a large and enthusiastic meeting and we all greatly appreciated Miss Waller' s hospi tality We were grieved to hear of the serious illness of our president, Mrs . Bertha Watkins Bridge who was take n to a sanitarium that week, owing to a general breakdown. On February 12 about fifteen P i Phis attended a matin ee party at the Garr ick Theatre and saw uThe Passing of the Third Floor Back- " The F ounders' Day luncheon was held April 29 at the new H otel Sherman. H e re we listened to reports of the settlement wo rlc and a very sti rring talk by Mrs . Lardner on this work. A night tel eg ram letter was sent to Mrs. Bridge who was still ill-and thirty-five Pi Phis pledged $25 t o the school as the club's con tribution .

We enrolled two new members, and at nearly every meeting since that time have enrolled one or more until we have a present Toll call of seventeen.

November 16 the club met with Mrs. McNitt (Marie Bellows), California Alpha. After a short business meeting Mrs. Bostwick

spoke of th e settlemen t school project and worked up enthusiasm among us. Anna M. Campbell (Iowa Eta) also told us of ways in which both inclividually and as a club, we might aid in Y. W. C. A work. Pearl Kepple, Michigan Alpha, has already been helping Miss Campbell in her work among factory girls.

Since Ohio Gamma was installed we have claimed. it as our Ilnk!arest chapter," We expected a number of the girls from Wooster at this meeting but were disappointed.

January 14 fifteen Pi Phis were present at Mrs Lovell's (Eva Glass, I o wa Zeta) home among them Miss Munn and M iss N e ff fr om Wooste r and Mrs. Haines (Florence Kepple ) Michigan Alpha, from Conneaut. Three more Pi Phis were added to our chapter Toll. Further interest in the settlement school was aroused and a num ber of letters were read from d,ifIerent ones active in its promotion.

Mrs . Allyn (Minerva Naylor) Michigan Alpha entertained us at her home in Lakewood on February 4, and this day was spent socially without any business.

March 4 the club met with Mrs Stone (Carrie Newell) IowA Alpha, and several out-af-town guests were present. The settlement school question was discussed at length and the m embers of our club are all anxious to pledge some thing for this work and to ward the endowment.

The April meeting was held with Miss Sowers, Ohio Alpha. Plans for Founders' Day celebration were made, and on April 29 we ce lebrated it at the home of Mrs . Stone. We invited the active girls from Wooster and all Pi Phis within a radius of fifty miles of Cleveland. Eleven W ooste r girls and Mrs. Johnson, of T oledo. This was the most enjoyable Founders' Day our club has ever known. Luncheon was served at one o'clock . Mrs. Lovell was toast mistress and introduced several very interesting toasts . We were greatly e nte rtained by hearing of the thrilling experiences which the Wooster girls had in getting their c harter.

Miss Thurness talked on "P i Phi Anticipations" and Miss Schlicht on "Pi Phi R ea lizati ons." Mrs. Curtiss spoke on HFounders' Day" and Mrs . J o hnson (Kate Walker, Nebraska Beta ) on the "Settlement School."

After lun cheo n we improved every moment in becoming better

acquainted with one another, and we w ere entertained by a reading by Mrs. Allyn and vocal so los by M iss Kepple. The Wooster girls expressed much pleasure in their triumph and we feel that it is no less a pleasure to the Cleveland club to know these girls as Pi Phis and to have them as our nearest c hapter.

June 3 closes Qur meeti ngs for the season . We rejoice in the growth of our club, and wish that each year may show as great increase in numbers, and in Pi Phi enthusiasm.

The Cleveland club sends greetings to all Pi Phis.

COLUMBIA ALUMNA> CLUB

The Pi Beta Phi Alumnre Club was organized more than a year ago, but the alumnre club certificate was not received until April. There are sixteen members and the regular meetings are held the first Tuesday in each month at the homes of the different members.

Our chief work. this year has been in planning and making preparations for a new chapter house, which we hope to build in the very near future. This spring we sent out pledge slips asking al! alumn", to make a pledge for this fund. We asked that they sign a. pledge (or twenty-five dollars, paying five dollars for five years. Each active girl is asked to sign this "hen she leaves schoo l.

A great many of the sororities and fraternities are buying their own chapter houses. We feel that Pi Beta Phi should own their chapter hOUlle by al! means.

This spring the club, with the assistance of the active chapter, gave a musical for the benefit of the settlement school. It was a success . This is to be made an annual affair. Another mUllical will be given this fal! after college opens. This is the first time anything of the kind has been tried at the university and the faculty and the fraternity world seems much interested in our new work.

During our meetings this winter we did practical work. for the active chapter, marking linen, etc.

Our alumnae club meetings have been nry interesting; they bring us closer together and all are much interested. in our work.

VIRGINIA LIPSCOMB.

COLUMBUS ALUMNA;; CLUB

We hold the mee tings of OUT alumn", club on the first Satur day of eve ry month. This year we have carried out a new plan which has been most s uccessful. We appointed, in alphabetical orde r, one hostess, at whose home th e spread and meeting was to be held, and three assisting hostesses . These four get up the entire spread, and no one girl is a hostess or an assisting hostess more than once a y ear. This plan has received the g reatest p raise and we all like it.

OUT club w o rk is purely socia l. Every me mbe r seems interested in some ki nd of literary o r missio nary w ork in th e ch urches or other clubs, so we make the most o f our time at the meet ings in getting be tter acquainted, and chattin g with members we see only at th e meetings, I think every Pi Phi in Co lum bus is a member of our alumnz club; at least all have been asked to join.

\Ve assist the active chapter in rushing and do a ll we can to help them win the girls they want. Every o th er month we have a joint sp read wi th the active chapt er.

Our club was divided somewhat on the sett lement schoo l subject. Some liked it, and others did not . Those a gai ns t it seemed to f eel it a missionary venture, and the churches cove r that field of work so tho roughly that alm os t all are devot ing all their tim e and money for that purpose. Nevertheless we agreed t o co ntribute $25, and all that is made above that amount every year.

This year we gave a subscription dan ce, and invited all our friends . It was quite a success, and we cleared more than $40. We mean to carry out the same plan ne xt year--unless we find a better one.

DENVER ALUMNIE CLUB

The Denver AlumnI!: Club has just compl eted a mos t s uccess ful year. We feel that this is the result of our having had printed programmes and definite worle .

This year we have had nine meetings whi ch were hel d once each month from September to May inclusive at th e homes of th e members. After the business meeting there is a most enjoyable social time which is often the o nly opportunity f or the busy Pi Phis to get together The social part of some of th e meeti ngs has i ncluded a lunch eo n, coo ky s hine or a picnic . The busi ness part consis ted of a

study of th e constitution, th e A RRO W and Mrs G. W Murd ock (C larissa F owler ) P ennsy lvan ia B eta gave us qui te an inte r esting talk on the hi s tory of n B <1>.

The October meeting was held with the active chapte r at the Colorado Beta bun gal ow. This year the girls added a kitchen to th e bungalow. In this we were able t o help them financially We try t o k ee p in close t o uch with th e chap t er and con.fine our efforts to its interests.

The l a r ges t of our fun c tions was the banqu et In celebration of F ound ers' Day. This was h eld with Colorado Alpha and the active chapter at th e Shirl ey Hotel. In th e afternoon the ac tive chapter gave a tea at the home of M iss Edna Biggs .

An unusual am ount of interest has bee n taken in the settlement schoo l. In March we gave a play which was a great success and in th is way we were able t o raise the desir ed funds. As yet we have mad e n o definite plans f or nex t year's wo rk.

Although n ot all has been accomplished during the yea r that some of the club had hoped f or , yet we have held to th e th ought o f the year's work, t o know one another and the active chapte r better and to know the wo rk in the south to which the alumnre are giving special energy, as well as i t was possible to know it in it s still unf ormul ated condi tion.

GALESBURG ALUMNA> CLUB

Mee tings have been held monthly, consisting of business of an informal nature, followed by refreshments and a soc ial hour. Our assoc iation main tains a room at the h ospital in Galesburg, furnishing all needed articles for its equipment.

We aim to interest P i Phis i n our work partly through a vis iting committee, which calls upon new members, sends n otes and flowers etc., when appr op riate. We have had good interest throughout the year from a fa ir proportion of the alumnz in town . We hav e supported the active c hapters in social and in financial efforts . Illinois Beta has occupied its bungalow on the campus all the year ; at the commencement reunion of Illinois Delta a movement was started to secure a house f or the active c hapter.

HILLSDALE ALUMNJE CLUB

Owing to the fact that the president and myself are the whole Hillsdale Alumna! Club at present, we have no report to offer. In my judgment, it would probably be as well not to recognize Hillsdale as an alumnre club under the existing conditions. The ladies always help the active chapte r with their rushing, but that is practically the extent of our Pi Phi work. This year, we had sophomore pledging, or J should say second semester pledging, so nearly all rushing was eliminated. That is how matters stand with us.

INDIANAPOLIS ALUMNJE CLUB

OUT club has had a most successful year. The membership is now fifty ,-girls from many different colleges. We have met regularly on the second Saturday of each month and have served lunc heon at one o'clock, the hostess being assisted by three girls. Often thirty· five or forty were present and an active girl was always invited. After our business meeting some one of the girls, who has been abroad or who has traveled extensively in our country I told of her travels. At some of the meetings we made aprons for the little children at the Christamon Settlement.

During the Young Woman's Christian Association convention, in April, we had a six o'clock dinner for the visiting Pi Phis.

On April 29 eighty-two Pi Phis met at Page's country home on the Greenfield line, for luncheon, to celebrate the founding of our fraternity. Mrs. Russel Willson (Violet Miller) , In dia na } ex-'OS, was chairman of the committee, Florence L. Richards, Michigan Beta, of the Shortridge High School faculty was toast mistress. The toast list was as follows: Greetings.

Our officers are : president, Ethel Curryer; vice-president, Mrs. John Cunningham (Lena Randall); treasurer, Mrs Ruth Lowe Jordan; secretary, Mrs. R . Ray Bunch ( Ruth de Hass).

Any Pi Phi who is in Ind ianapolis on the second Saturday of mouth will find a hearty welcome at th e club.

INDIANOLA ALUMNA<: CLUB

The Indianola Alumna! Club has met regularly on the second Thursday of each month at the homes of the different members . Outside of the regular business meetings , we have spent our afternoons in sewing and in a pleasant social time. Our attendance averages between twenty and twenty-five, two or more of the active girls meeting with us. We joined with the active girls in a cooky shine on Founders' Day and had a very pleasant time. Indeed we are always glad to be with them and to meet the new gi rl s.

IOWA CITY ALUMNA<: CLUB

Our alumnre meetings the past year have been held on the last Wednesday afternoon of each month At first we met in the different homes, then we decided to hold all sessions at the Pi Beta Phi chapter house as the chaperon is a member and we hoped to impress upon the girls a more definite connection with us .

We always held a business meeting and heard the report o f the

stewardess of the house; then the remainder of the aftern oo n was spent socially.

We decid ed to ask all the active girls into the parlor for tea at five o'clock on the afternoon of the Jast two meetings of the year. The girls seemed happy, busy, and congenial among themselves and with u s .

Every II B ell in I owa City belongs eithe r to the active chapte r or to the alumnre club and I know of none but myself living outside of the city and near eno u gh to be able to attend meetings

We assume the responsibility of the rent of the active chapter house and the girls pay us . Every year we aim to present the house with furniture, table linen, or something else that is needed. This year it has been a Monar c h range for the kitchen.

I am sorry to say that the settlement school proposition failed to interest our club to the extent of any accomplishment. The girls were giving a formal party on April 28 and they were so busy with that, that we cou ld not ask assistance there and our two younger girls are out of town most of the time-with the few who do not attend r egularly this l eaves only six or seven whom we can definitely count upon. We have made no plans whatever for next yea r.

We have an admission fee of twenty-five cents and a fine of ten cents for absences. This little m o re than b u ys fl owe r s for our sick or dead and buys things for the teas. Every member has so many othe r clubs that she does not fe el like making this one anything but social.

The Kansas City Alumna! C lub sends gree tings to all siste r clubs and wishes to be kn own as still very much inte r ested and very wideawake . We have held monthly lun cheons throughout the yea r , but have followed no stated programme , the meetings being given largely to an informal good time We have done a little sewing for charitable purposes, but less this year than last . Our attendance continues v e ry satisfac tory , averaging between twenty and thirty \¥e consider th is a very good proportion of tho se whom we might reasonably expect to reach.

In September, we gave a musical aftern oo n at the home of Mr s. Thornton Cooke ( Emily Hulm e, Kansas Alpha ), to meet the young

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

girls of our a cquaintance who were expecting t o go away t o co llege. It was a very pretty and very satis fa ctory affair . The evening be· fore Thanksgiving, we held, as usual, ou r annual Thanksgiving ban· quet, which was attended not only by the alumnre, but also by girls fr om the active chapters of both M isso uri and Kansas Universities. As always, it was a very successful and enjoyable occasion.

One of our members , Mrs. F. W. Heryer (Lo r en Leslie, Kansas Alpha ) served as president of the Kansas City Pan - Hellenic organization during the year, and presided with mu ch ease and grace at the annual breakfast given in April.

Our club has pledged $25 to the Girls' Hotel of this city and the same amount to the settlement school. Some of this amount has already been raised by personal subscription and probably the balance will be paid in the same manner, but I think no definite plans as to this have been made for next year, although we hope to be able to increase our gift. The cause seems very much worth while t o all of us and we are d es irous of seeing the school mee t with the success it so well deserves.

Our officers for 1911-12 are: Mrs. K P R obi nso n , president.i Mrs. A. A. Brooks, vice-president; Mrs. H . M. Langworthy, treasurer; Clarabel Denton, corresponding sec r etar y.

LAWRENCE ALUMNA<; CLUB

The Lawrence Alumnre Club has just fini s hed a year's work. In addition to four regular meetings, the club gave a very enjoyable reception f or the active chapter at the home of Anna Cockins. The Lawrence alumnre club is, for the greater part, a social organization. This is due to the fact that with but few exceptions all of its members are members of the Kansas Alpha H ouse Association which attends to many details which would otherwise fall to the lot of the alumnre club. All Pi Phis in this locality are, ho weve r , by means of post cards, kept constantly informed of the d oi ngs and meetings of the Lawrence alumnre club. The alumn re were th e guests of the active chapter at a most enjoyable lunch eon gi ven in h onor o f F ounders' Day by th e a ctive chapter at the chapter house.

LEWISBURG ALUMNiE CLUB

The Lewisburg Alumn", Club has held monthly meetings chieBy of a social characte r. A subscripti on of $30 was voted to the settlement school fund , this amount to be ra ised by self-denial on the part of the club in the matter of serving refreshments.

InN ovember the club entertained the active ch apter with their guest, Mrs . Nickerson , at the home of Mrs. George Clinger in Milton.

One more member has been added to our list , almost entire ly a ccounting for those who live in this locality-near enough to belong to the club. We hope that everyone who can will belong before the end of another yea r .

Th e club is planning to entertain the a ctive chapter and the returning alumnz at a lawn part y during co mmencem ent . GRACE SLIFER-DRUM.

LINCOLN ALUMNiE CLUB

The Lincoln Alumn ", Club has enjoyed a most prosperous year. At one of the first meetings held in the fall , we dis cussed at some length how best to plan our meetings so as to keep as many as possible interested in coming to them. The following plan was suggested-to hav e our r egular monthly meetings when fh e necessary business would be brought up and in addition to have social afternoons from time to time where no business would be discussed but the time devoted to cards, music, etc.

The first of the social meetings was a tea given at the chapter house to the active girls This was indeed a success and we fo ll owed it la t er by another whi ch included not on l y the active girls b ut a lso our patron esses and the women of the faculty club o f the university. Another very enjoyable afternoon was spent with Mrs. Sue Ashmun Brown at her cha rming home on Sheridan Boulevard. Th e last special meeting was a musical given at the h ome of the Misses Stuart which served a double purpose in that we made i t a benefit for the settlement fund. The programme co nsisted o f songs by Mr.; . Bess Burress Funke and pianoforte solos by Floss Denny. Miss Denny also talked to us about some of her experiences while studying abroad -which proved as interesting as her playing.

At our re g ular meetings we have had good attendance, usually from fifteen to twenty being present .

THE ARROW OF PI BET A PHI

We are glad to r epo rt that th e Y. W . C.

Many ou t-DC -town Pi Phi s Wefe with us, making i n all seventy g uests at the banquet, ea ch one as enthusiastic and loyal a Pi Phi as co uld be desired. The visiting Pi Phis and alumnre were entertained at a twelve o'clock br ea kfast at th e h o me of Margaret Kyle Barber, Pennsylvania Alpha.

It is gratifying to say that we have had hearty responses from all Pi Phis around the state in reply to OUT request for contributions for the school for mountaineers and hope to d o Oll r part as a club in this undertaking .

LOS ANGELES ALUMNJE CLUB

Los Angeles Pi Phis, retrospe c tive at the close of th e year, are delighted with the good things that have come to us. A closer acquaintance one with another, many new m embers and vi si to rs from the east, a deepened interest in the life of our frat ernity, give us greater enthusiasm for the new year.

A few have acted as hostesses at the house o f one member for most of our meeti ngs and we find that they have been more s uccessful than the lun cheo ns of the year previous. Another successful experiment was a folder in Pi Ph i colors with a detailed programme for the year as well as officers' names and addresses. We mailed these to all P i Phis in and near Los Angeles as we ll as to all tourist Pi Phis whom we could reach.

Our first mee ting was a coo ky shine at which we were given an ex cellent discussion of THE ARROW as a frat ernity magazine and a review of the constitu tion

At a lun cheon at the Young W omen's Christian Association our president told o f their education department which eoroHs more than two th ousand young women. Our new members were later shown the building, Our secretary told of the work carried on in the settlements and by the district nurses in Los Angeles-all accomplished

by colJege women. Several members are now aiding in the latter activity.

In January, Miss Groves, I owa Beta, entertained the Pi Phis and their guests with a m ost delightful mu sica l fo r which Mrs. L e wis (Catherine Ijams, lIlin ois Zeta) was hostess. St. Valentine's Day gave oppo rtunity for en tertaining the men at a jolly part y at the home of Mrs. Terral!.

Miss Horl ocker has a most inte r es t ing studio and to ou r delight entertained us with a real Japanese tea-every appointm e nt perfect from the che rry-blossomi ng room to the delic ious confections. W e had asked her to talk on local art and artists and were treated also to the exhibit then being held by a l ocal artist.

Tea at the Alexandria Hotel brought several vi si ting Pi Phis to us. Mrs . Cartwright (Isabella Hudson, Iowa Zeta) delighted us with a paper on liThe Ethics of Dress ." The Pi Beta Phi se ttlement was the subject of another. Enthusiasm for this work is growing fast . We feel that it is Pi Phi's mos t important undertakingespecially so to alumme . It was a live topiC again on Founders' Day when an impromptu offering for it was taken. Dues next year are to be inc reased to insure a certain contribution to the fund. We hope to do more than this .

The girls of California A and B c hapte rs were r esponsib le for our Founders ' Day cooky shine at the home of Miss Morton-the best of all our affairs. A huge birthday ca ke decorated with "D B 4>, 1867-1911" was the centerpiece for the spread around which w e sat Freshmen never enjoyed our songs and URing Ching Ching" more than did we. Roll call showed members initiated by eleven different chapters from 18 69 to 1910 as present. Mrs. Lora Crothers Tutton who was initiated by the founders in Monmouth College told us of the founding o f Pi Phi-an ever new and interesting story. We wish we might say as our chapte r letters do, uWe initiated six of the dearest-I. Cs" as we expected to do but the essentials failed to arrive so we l ook forward to that pleasure next year. Mrs. Wilson , re cent ly of Mt. Pl easant, rowa, holds th e r eco rd of longe') t membership-42 years in Pi Phi-in our alumna! club.

A picnic in Sycamore Grove was ou r farewell even t June 4. Mrs. Harriet W . Myers, I owa Zeta, wh o is sec retary o f the Audubon society il! California entertained us with a talk on California bird s-a subject doubly interesting to us because of the value of Mrs. Mye rs' work.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

We frequently learn with regret that some Pi Phi has spent the winter in our city, whom we do not meet. We feel that the fraternity as a whole is loser by the neglect of members to identify themselves with alumnre interests . We shall be delighted to meet all Pi Phis who come to Los Angeles for a long or short stay. OUT new headquarters in the studio of our president, Miss Roriocker, 418 Blanchard Bldg., opposite City Hall are very accessible. The register of Southern CaHfornia Pi Phis is kept here and Miss Horlocker will be delighted to welcome all Pi Phis. NELL VALE-CORE.

MADISON ALUMNA<; CLUB

OUT meetings have been held the first Saturday of each month, with the following officers: president, Daisy Moser; vice-president, Esther Kayser-Kessenick; secretary-treasurer, Cora M . NorsmanNeckerman.

They have been purely social, with the exception of one meeting devoted to business and the reading of the constitution . We appointed one of our members to attend all regular business meetings of the active chapter, and in turn invited six members o( the active chapter to attend alumn:e meetings.

The building of our new chapter house is in progress, a threestory structure of cement, on a l ot 66 x 132, conceded to be as desi rable a site as any in the city. The house will be completed by fall, and will accommodate 24 girls.

On October 21, the active chapter gave a tea for alumnre and patronesses at the chapter house. Founders' Day was celebrated with a cooky shine at the home of Professor and Mrs. A. L. P. Dennis-the latter is one of our chape rons. The banquet each year has been managed by the alumnre club, and given at the house, with a profit approximately of 50 cents on a $1.50 banquet. This year, however, our money-making scheme had to be abandoned , and the feast held in a hall.

Of our twelve members, three will go abroad this summer, Eunice Welsh, Alma Moser-Reinsch and Mignon Wright. Adaline BrownBassett and Mabel Bartlett-Kropf both have new babies since the last alumnre report. Both are girls, and prospective Pi Phis , we trust. Jane Gapen is doing settlement work in Chicago.

The president appo inted different Pi Phis to have c harge of small groups which th e y wer e exp ected to ke e p informed concerning all fraternity doings. F o r want o f a better name we called them "alumna! mothers," The girl s hav i ng M. A from the fraternity, were fully as faithful as those getting th eir title in the u sual way.

Our first meeting was held at the home of Mrs. C . E. Brewster (Fannie May Edwards ) , L o mbard, '83. The active chapter were guests. We talked of our plans for the year, then had our social hour.

The annual Christmas party was given at the Pi Phi house just before the holidays. We exchanged joke presents and presented some silver to the house . This was greatly appreciated by the girls.

Tentative plans were made for other forms of entertainment. A stereopticon lecture by Dr. Charles Edwards was finally adopted as the best means of getting funds for the settlement school. This venture proved a succe ss. To the active chapter great praise is due for this .

One of our alumnre had copies of the Pi Phi anthem printed for use in our meetings. We sent some of these together with the notices of the Founders' Day banquet to all the alumnre who are said to be residents of Minnes ota, and to all alumnre of Minnesota Alpha. Mrs. Minnie Newby Ricketts, Michi g an, '89, former Grand Secretary, was guest of honor. We hoped to have Mrs. Howard Libbey, one of the fraternity founders with us too as an honored guest, but she was unable to be present We were greatly cheered by the letters and telegrams from Pi Phis in the east and others in the west.

Other informal meetings have been held at irregular intervals in different parts of the city so that during the year all but a few alumnre have succeeded in getting into the college girls' atmosphere at least for one afternoon.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

MT. PLEASANT ALUMNA<: CLUB

Another p leasant year fo r our alumnre club has come and gone. "Life is so full" has become a phrase of pleasantry with us, a phrase lacking the prope r alumnre dignity perchan ce, but one which expresses the rush, keenness, and interest that has been OUTS this year. The rush of the year found the alumnre awake and r eady to lend a helping hand. The beautiful home of Mrs. Penn was open for the fall r ushing party. We have wat c hed with interest the marked success of OUf girls.

Once a month we hold aU f meetings . Committees are appointed fo r the year to take charge of these meetings. Some are of a social nature and some of a business nature just as the committee plans. We are becoming greatly interes ted in the settlement school. Now we are waiting f or printed material to send to ou/ absent alumna:! scattered far and near and n ot connected with any alumna:! organization.

I n the fa ll we entertained our active girls and f r iends at the home of Mrs McCord. The entertainment was a parlor farce, "Her O ld Sweethea r t."

\ Ve met at th e hospitable Wallbank home to celebrate Founders' Day. Ea ch guest wore the symbol of some flower and th e gu essi ng of these flowers furnished pleasant entertainment . A short programme fo ll owed. Mable Piper, president of the active chapter gave a very pleasing address. This was followed by an instrumental numbe r, liThe Flowe r Song," by Ethel Lyme r. All were then de1ighted to hear Mrs. Ernest Dailey Smith (Pearle Aiken , Indjana Gamma ) the guest of honor , give seve ral readings. Dainty refreshments were served after which the active chapter girls gathered around the piano and sang Pi Phi songs, as only college girls can After the Good Night song, and the Pi Phi yell all bade a fond adieu

We always look forward t o ou r June party, with mingled pleasure and sadness. We're glad to welcome back our older alumnre Pi Phis but we're sorry to lose our senio r girls whose friendship and life has meant so mu ch to us.

NEW YORK ALUMNIE CLUB

We, o f th e N ew York Alumn", Club, have had a pleasant and p r ofitable year together. A s usual our meetings have been held at

the homes of our various members o n t he first Saturday of every month with the exception of Octobe r and January when the seco n d week is more convenient. Our first gathering fo r th e season is al· ways with th e active chapte r of New Yo rk Beta, and we were g lad t o meet with them in Octobe r in th ei r charming apartment a t S04 W est 112th Street and talk of con vention , vacation, and of the won d erful th ings we intended to do during the wint e r ! Th e thirtyeigh t who were present augu r ed well for future enthusiasm.

At the November meeting at whi c h Willa E. Wilson, Maryland Alpha , ente rtain ed u s, Mi ss K e ll e r t old o f h e r interesting experiences as a stude nt at Be rlin and H eidelbe r g. H aving her with us was a Tare trea t which we should like to r epeat ann u a lly. W e always devote the Decembe r m ee tin g t o matt ers of frat ernity policy, and on this occasion, Mrs. The iss, Miss R oge r s, and Miss W ood man r epo rted on various matters of interest. Miss Rogers told of settleme nt school plans which interested those present imm ense ly a nd ve ry d e finit e p lans were made then, and l ate r , for raising ou r shar e of the n ecessar y funds

As a r es ult, we se nt out a printed circular to all on th e m a ilin g li st of the club-about 150. This contai n ed a n accoun t of the school project and an appeal for a d o ll a r con tribution . All we r e, moreover, urge d to attend th e next m ee tin g at which Dr Walte r H Page, editor of World's Work was t o speak on condi ti ons among th e peop le o f th e southern mountains. As Mr. Page was ill the F eb ru a ry meeting at th e home of Mrs. F. H . Sisson (G race Lass, Illi nois D elta), was given ove r to a general discussion of th e whole problem. Ind eed, the February, March and April meetings were devoted to learnin g all we cou ld of life among t he people whom we hoped to assist. Mrs . Burd e tt e G. Lewis (Pearl Arc hibald ) Nebraska B eta, ente rtain ed us in March at he r h ome, 2 5t. Nicholas Pla ce , and th e Rev. Mr . H . P. V aughn and th e Rev. Mr. E. T. Reid who had worked among th ese folks told us of thei r expe r iences. W e were fortunate in having Mr. Page with u s in April when we met with Lillian 1. Baldwin, Ma ryl and Alpha , who lives at the Br ooklyn Navy Ya rd . Ou r interest in ou r !Schoo l result ed in something definit e on March 25. Lizette M etca lfe, New York Beta, offe r ed us th e coope rati on of th e amateu r dramati c club of which she is a member and the "Marria ge of Kitty" was most s u ccessf ully given in the Brinckerhoff Theatre at Barnard College. As a result of the one dollar subsc r ip-

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

tions and the play we were able to give to the fund $233. We feel that the enthusiasm and purpose which the work for the settlement school has given the club are beyond words. Many busy women, out of touch perhaps with college and fraternity , have expressed themselves as thoroughly in sympathy with this movement which gives our fraternity another noble purpose-and perhaps the first pIHely altruistic one.

Founders' Day we ce lebrate d on April 29 with o ur annual luncheon held this year at the Hotel Gregorian Mrs. B. G. Maxfield (Winifred Hill) Massachu setts Alpha, was chairman of the committee and was assisted by Nell Thomas, New York Beta , Willa E . Wilson, Maryland Alpha and a committee from the active chapter. The celebration is always a joint one. Mrs A. G. Hanan (Lillian J. McDowell) Pennsylvania Alpha, acted as toast mistress. Mrs. L. E. Theiss (Mary Bartol) Pennsylvania Beta, Mrs. William H. Lough (Elizabeth Shepard) Wisconsin Alpha, Elmina Wilson, Iowa Gamma, our club president, and Dorothy Griffin of the active chapter responded to toasts. New York Beta sang college and fraternity medleys.

One of our largest and most enthusiastic meetings every year is that held the second Saturday in January. This is devoted to annual reports, election of officers, etc. and is always followed by a cooky shine. This year the business session was held with Mrs . Wm . H. Lough at 2292 Sedgwick Avenue and the spread around the corner at the home of the Mi sses Fanny, Elmina and AIda Wilson, Iowa Gamma, 2338 Loring Place. The active chapter are always our guests on this occasion. At this meeting Elmina Wilson was elected president, Mrs. Lough was re·elected vice·president and Sophie P. Woodman , New York Beta was re -elected secretary-treasurer.

As usual we have had this year printed programmes of our meetings. These were sent to all on our mailing list, to all ot her alumme clubs and to the officers of the fraternity. We also use printed postals as announcements of the monthly meetings. F or the fir s t time we had printed a comple t e list of all Pi Phis in and near New York. This list has proved of g r eat co nvenience but n eeds to be edited weekly. The sec r eta ry keeps an up-to-date ca rd catalogue of all Pi Phis as she hears of their coming into this vicinity. The club has an engraved lett e r head and an engraved die for the annual luncheon.

The club has greatly enjoyed m ee ting the Pi Phis at Teachers' College and we only wish we could have seen more of them. Helen Donovan, I owa Gamma, and Emily Maverick, Texas Alpha, joined the club and a nwnber of othe rs att en ded several meetings. The added interest of the Tea che rs' College girls is largely due to the enthusiasm of New York Beta. The relations between the chapter and the club are very pleasant . The gi rls entertained us at the Octo · ber meeting and invited all who co uld be present at the pledging ceremony at the apartment and the initiation at Mrs. H. P. Molloy's (Mabel D. McCa nn ). They were, in turn, our guests at the coo ky shine. \Ve also have a social committee whi ch arranges for little parties between so me of the active girls and one or tw o alumna::: at the home of an alumna. The girls are always notified of ou r r egula r mee tin gs and ur ged to attend. Usually severa l , besides the r epresent· ative, are present. W e have found that holding our meetings at the different homes enables us to become bette r acquainted with one another and pleases th e active gi rls. It is more of a party for them than if we always met in their apartment.

We hope that each Pi Phi who may be planning to be in New York next winter will write the sec r eta ry of the club so that she may be invited to our fir s t m ee ting which will be the second Saturday of October. SOPHIE PARSONS WOODMAN.

OMAHA AND COUNCIL BLUFFS ALUMNA': CLUB

The Omaha and Council Bluffs Alumna! C lub met once a month during the past year for one o'clock luncheon , followed by a business meeting. The club has been chie8y a social affair though we are not lacking in a philanthropical purpose. Our charity consis t ed in paying the rent for the winter m onths for a poor woman, thu s enabling her to live decently, and in a respectable locality. Next year we are planning to give our sympathy and money to the Old P eop le' s H ome. Among our number we have, as a member of the dub, Mira Troth, I owa Zeta, who is matron at this home \V e hope to help her in thi s work.

Our club has thirty-six members, which takes in all the Pi Phis in the two towns, and we seem able to interest them all in being members.

The sett lement school movement has greatly increased th e inter es t and support of our alumn a!. \Ve rai sed funds by special subscrip-

dons and by a musical given at one of ou r smaller halls. Perhaps next year we shall settle upon a stated amount for this movement and raise it by entenainment or ta xa tion OUT plans for this are not fully decided upon.

PHILADELPHIA ALUMNIE CLUB

The Philadelphia Alumn<r Club has held eight mee tings, starting in Octobe,T and ending in June, for the year 1910-11, and has foll owed a stated programme as nearly as possible. 'The October, November, and December meeting s were st ri ctly business sessions, devoted each in turn to the Pi Beta Phi sett lement school plan, to a study of the ARROW and to a discussion of better alumnre organization. The business sess ion of the January meeting was followed by an interesting sketch of the history, constit ut ion, and policy of our fraternity. At the close o f the February meeting, we were ente r· tained by Edith McCain-Jaekel who told of her winter in Gennany, and in Mar ch, we enjoyed music by several members of the club. On May 6 th e Pennsylvania Alpha active chapter and the club met at luncheon in Lansdowne at th e home of Edith Lewis-White for the purpose of celebrating Founders' Day. Mrs. Branson, G rand Vice· President, was not only present but was also a most charming toast mistress. On Jun e 6 we met at Swarthmore College on Alumni Day and elected ou r new officers .

Last fall, the secretary wrote a personal lette r to eve ry Pi Phi alumna in or near Philadelphia, and urged her to show her l oyalty to her fraternity not on ly by joining the club but also by giving her interest to it. In thi s way, every alumna whom we know of in our vicinity is r eached. This last year, we had thirty-three active mem· bers.

OUT effo rt s to aid an active chapter are devoted t o Swarthmore as that is the nearest chapter. Last fall in rushing season, many of our members entertained the chapte r and rush ees at various social affairs . Nearly all our members have frequently visited the college girls during th e year and have been in close touch with the chap ter. The Philadelphia alumnre club has been closely associated with th e settlement school plan. Striving to rai se m o ney for the school has been our chief wo rk this year. All the members of the committee in charge of rai si ng funds for Alpha Province were members also of the club. This same committee wi th seve ral additional members

also served as the club committee. We raised our amount by selling Founders' Day souvenir cards, by a subscription card club, by a musical tea, by overtaxing each plate at the Founders' Day banquet, and by individual contributions. Plans for our work along this line next year wi11 be made early in the falL

PITTSBURG ALUMNJE CLUB

The past yea r has been a very enjoyable and profitable one (or the Pittsburg Alumnre Club. The meetings have been well attended, and this is especially encouraging since our members are widely scattered through the suburbs of Pittsburg. \V e have followed in general a programme, one meeting being on the "History and Pahey of the Fraternity/' another on "Famous Pi Phis," and others on equally interesting topics. One afte rn oon was given over to a cooky shine, and of course another to our Founders' Day luncheon. \Ve have not undertaken any specia l philanth r opic work, as yet, a ll our energies now being directed toward the Pi Phi settlement school. This spring we gave a musical to raise funds for that purpose. Everyone in the club took a lively interest in the musical, and we all feel proud of the results. Next year we shall continue our efforts along this line.

We have tried to inte r est all Pi Phis of the locality by giving them each an urgent, personal invitation to join the club, by furnishing them with programmes, and by including them all in special notices.

One thing we la ck-close touch with some active chapte r, there being none near for us to co-operate with But we are ve r y enthusiastic for the future of our club, and hope much for it.

PUGET SOUND ALUMNJE CLUB

The Puget Sound Alumnz Club has, according to its custom, held monthly meetings through the year, on the first Saturday of each month [rom September to June. Sometime ago it was suggested that our place of meeting be decided alphabetically from our li st of members and we have now been once almost through the roll. There is a business session followed by a visit over our fancy work and the hostess se rves tea or ice. In the summer we meet occasionally at " teas" down town, or on a picnic.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

We are much interested in our active chapter and of course there are many Washington Alpha alumnre among us. Some of the active girls usually attend our meetings-a very pleasant thing for us as it keeps alumn., in touch with college life. We have helped in the making of the twenty·five new initiation gowns, and many meetings have been held to that end at th e home of our president, Mrs. P. L. West. There have been several delightful events at the chapter house this year, such as the doings of rushing season, the Christmas tree, initiation, and the evening recent 1y for Mrs. C urr ens, our province president-all of which we have much enjoyed.

OUT membership, drawn from many chapters, changes more o r less from year to year , as is unavoidable in a city of this size. We have had several welcome newcomers this winter and withal a membership of thirty-three . There are many othe r s both in town and at nearby points who join us from time to time.

The last meeting was to elect officers for the ensuing year. Mrs. H. J . Holmes (Geo r gia Porter, Iowa Gamma , ) was unanimously chosen president, and Mrs. R M. Dyer ( Matie Yeisley, I owa Gamma) continued as vice-p resident. We are thinking of a new plan which it is hoped may add variety to our programme and make next year's meetings more attractive to all who may come. The idea is to have some special and distinctive feature for each gathering and to issue a card in the early fall announcing the nature, place, and date of all meetings through t o June.

Founders' Day banquet was a most successful affair, celebrated April 30 at the Hotel Washington, jointly with the active chapter. We were happy to have one of the founders as guest of honor-Mrs. Soule ( Ina Smith) from Tacoma, who speke to us of the Monmouth days. There was also with us Mrs. Small (Rainie Adamson, Illinois Beta ) of Snohomish, once j/lustra r eg j'1a of I. C.

Cards had been sent out all over the state and to all alumnre of Washington Alpha in an effort to have an especially large attendance. As a result fifty-five were present, many from out-of -town having made the trip solely to participate in this annual festivity. A programme of toasts and song followed the dinner and the hour was late indeed when we finally adjourned

RHODE ISLAND ALUMNJE CLUB

I nformation com es to us concerning a new club which is still in process of formation:

On the afternoon of April 8 a small band of Pi Phis met at the home of Mrs. C rowell, Massachusetts Alpha in Providence, R . 1., to discuss with Mrs. Ni c kerson the formation o f a. club of alumrue in and around Providen ce . There were present at this meeting two members of Vermont Alpha, two members of Massachusetts Alpha and one member of Vermont Beta besides Mrs. Nickerson. Steps were taken fo r the formati on of the club, a constituti on was drafted and the following officers chosen: Mrs. A. C. Crowell (Carrie Pravan, Massachusetts Apha ), president, and Laura R. Gibbs, Illinois Zeta, secretary and treasurer. It was decided to call the club the Rhode Island Aiumme Club of Pi Beta Phi.

On April 28 the club met with Laura Gibbs , Illin ois Zeta for a Founders' Day cooky shine. Ten members were present, with representatives from Massachusetts Alpha, four in number, tw o from Vermont Alpha, two from Vermont Beta, one from Co lumbia Alpha, and one from Illi nois Zeta. All improved the opportunity for getting better acquainted with one another, and the occasion was a very happy one.

Jun e 10 the club was invited to Peace Dale, R. 1., to meet with Edith L. Carpenter, Vermont Beta. Only four members of the club accepted the invitation, but two visitors came to help 1111 the vacant places, .Eleanor Good from Massachusetts Alpha, and Rena 1. Bisbee from Vermont Alpha, both members of the Boston alumnre club. The time sped by so quickl y that the meeting seemed almost a dream by the time the guests had a ll departed , but a very pleasant dream it was.

The dub plans to meet again in the fall, and hopes that any Pi Phis coming to Providence o r its vicinity to spend the winter will be su re to send word to the secretary of the club and join this new organization . They will be most heartily welcomed.

ST. LOUIS ALUMNJE CLUB

This year , our 11rst as a regular charte red club, has been l argely used by us to feel for our position. We have found our interests so

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

different from those of girls in the active chapte rs, our tim.e so filled with many outside duties that the greatest question we have had to conside r was: What should be the purpose and aim of our club and how should we go about accomplishing that purpose? Early in the year Mrs. Parks ( Id ella Egbers , Illinois Gamma) our president, suggested that unless we had some definite purpose, in a city so full o f other interests a merely social club was in danger of collapsi ng .

The nucleus of the club, of co urse, is Cormed by the Missouri B e ta gi rl s. They come together frequently for sheer joy in seeing one another again. But as this is a Pi Phi organi zat ion and not one for Missouri Beta, we feel that is not sufficient. We hold ou r meetings on the first Saturday of every month and send out announcement cards regularly to every alumna Pi Phi living in the city or suburbs. We are very busy girls, most of us, but frequently we try to call on unresponsive sisters and induce them to come out. By this time, out of forty odd Pi Phis who could belong, we have twenty -six on the active li s t . Most of them are very enthusiastic workers . How to get hold of the r est is still a problem. All suggestions will be gladly received. Right here, we would like to pay a compliment to the Iowa chapters , whose alumnre are most numerous in the active club, next to those of our own state .

N ow as to the business we have done, our story may sound short. One meeting was occupied with e l ecting officers, the next with the arrangement of a rushing dance for th e active chapter, who were burdened with a half-year season. ( If all half-year seasons turned out as splendidly for Pi Phis we should almost be willing to stand the strain). For our Christmas cha rity work we furnished a bed in one of the orphan's homes of the city. Since then we have been spending our spare time preparing for our first cont ributi on to the settlement school fund. We have some little talent in our ranks and want to give a play We find that getting a play, good enough for peop le cheerfully to pay the price of admission, is no easy task. Just the same we are going to have a play, a good play in the fall. W e are going to try it on the people of Webster Groves first Webster is quite a Pi Phi suburb. Then we hope to be encouraged to try it in the city. You see we mean to get there. We are grateful to the settlement school promoters for furnishing us with a charity that is all the very own property of Pi Beta Phi. Maybe we have been slow in getting started but just wat ch us make up for lost time!

SYRACUSE ALUMNA;; CLUB

The year that has just closed has been one of the busiest since our organization, and at the same time one of the most delightful. In fact a Pi Phi alumnre club seems to be an ideal place to co mbine work and play in just the ri gh t proportions. There a r e twenty-eight Pi Phis in and near Syracuse, and of this numbe r twenty -five have been active in the work, while the othe r s come in and join us wh en they can.

The m eeti ngs ar e held every two weeks on Monday afternoon. We have had no stated programme although on eve ry fourth Monday provision was made f or a little entertainment, consisting of r eadings or, as upon one occasion, the enjoyment by all of a series of letters from a former Syra cuse Pi Phi, Welthy Honsinger, now a missionary in China.

While social to a great extent, meetin gs at the various homes in tum, serving and chatt ing, our main work and interest has been to aid the active chapte r in every way possible. Unlike many alumnre clubs, all the members, with one exception, were, at various times students at Syracuse University and members of the New York Alpha chap ter, and conseq uen tly we are all especia lly en thusiastic and eager to see the loca l ch apter most prosperous.

Early in the fall one of o ur members opened her home for a "heart party" which was enjoyed by a number of the freshman rushees as well as many of the active girls-to say nothing of the mo re staid alumnre. Later we had a food sa le, the proceeds of whi ch were used to purchase cu t glass and silve r for a Christmas gift to the chapte r. The effort we a ll put forth t <;' capture our favorite cooky, cake, or pie recalled our college "rushing" stunts and c r eated no little merriment. This year we have also car ried out ou r new plan by presenting the a ctive chapter with a silve r loving cup, to be awarded each fall to the sophomore, who during the previous year had the highest scholarship. and wh ose name will be engraved on the cup. We hope, by means of this II r ewa rd for merit" to promote a keener interest in scho lastic work.

Methods for inte r esting the Pi Phis in ou r locality in ou r work

has n eve r been a question w ith us . As stated before, we are all m embe r s of New Yo rk Alpha and th e refor e i f it is p ossible (seve ral are t eac h e rs and aTe unabl e to atte nd th e M onday afternoon meet in gs)we n eed n o urging to join a club wh e re we ma y m ee t so many o f our fr ie nd s o f college d ays. W e feel that ou r constant int erest in the club is due in n o small measure t o the fact that we mee t every two w eeks r a th e r th a n a few times a year, or even once a month, thus k ee pin g in t ou ch and becoming better acquainted with our s ister Pi Phis.

Our annual sp rin g banqu et, h eld at the home of Mrs. Estelle F oote Harvi e o n A ckennan Avenue was a mo st enjoyable affa i r and besides our r egu lar members, many of the out-of-town alumn re came back to join th e circle that night. Our arti stic m ember of the club , Aigrett e Inga lls , painted the place cards , which were mos t appro· priate, little Pi Phi bungal ows. A chapte r h ome, a ll our v e ry own has been , for years , our cas tle in the air, but, unlik e m os t air castles this has mat e rializ ed in a most beautiful and wonderful way since that banquet. In fa ct, it all began that ni g ht wh en inspi red by the e nthusiasm of numbe rs, and the loyal Pi Phi spirit and d oubtless t oo, by Mrs. \Vinkl eman's toothso me concoctions, a large s um was gained f o r the cause, bo th in promises of immed iat e paym en t and in pledges payable in five and ten years .

Now we want to tell you h ow our new house became a r ea lity. The need was great as all who have r esided at 11 2 Waverley at any time will tes tify, and the r en tal or purchase of a nother house within fair distance from the camp us, and at the same time lar ge en ou g h for th e gi rl s' demands and small enoug h f o r their pu r ses, seem ed out of th e question . F o r several years we have been collecting a fund by a sys tem of pled ges of a ce rt ai n amount payable within a s tat ed number of years. Our ultimate- object was the building of a chapte r house and all our alumn3! , in and out·of t own were informed o f th e plan a n d earnestly urged t o cooperate . Th is sp r i n g, in ord e r t o p ut our project on a th or ou gh l y b u siness basis, we incorporated. S oon after, findin g a m ost desirable l ot, two blocks fr om th e cam pus, for sa le, we bought it, influen ced t o do thi s by the fact that c h oice l oea· tions in this part of th e city are fast being so ld because o f its popu· larity as a r eside nt ia l section. Th en through th e further t i r eless e ff o rts o f Mrs . Harvie, th e chai rman o f the h ouse committ ee, a can· tractor was secured, and th e house was planned.

The style of the house is co lonial with a large porch, side entranee and vestibule, large lounging room, den, dining-room-these last mentioned rooms connected by swinging glass doors which may be thrown open for special occasions-ki tchen, pantries, etc. on th e first floor. The second Boor has a large open balcony, and including the space on the third floor there is provision for twelve sleeping roo ms and fwo bathrooms. Two of the r ooms on the third are so built that , by sliding back. a partition, a large r oom for chap ter purposes is made. The house, which will cost about $10,500 will be ready in September, according t o th e cont ra ct. Not having funds enough; the cont racto r is financing our project and we hope, in the years to come, t o payoff our indeb tedness, and we hope too that it may be largely through the efforts of the girls who are and will be in coUege, and who will appreciate what a new house means t o the success of the chap ter as well as t o their own £omfo rt.

Being so th oroughly engrossed in these plans, while we sincerely deplore th e fact that we have not con tributed our share to the settlem ent school fund, still we feel that the leaders of that most worthy ch arity will und ers tand our failure to respond as an evidence of our inability rather than of any lac k of sympathy. Every spare dollar and cent we have been able to collect has gone into our house fund. We have even turned amateur dressmakers, volunteering to make the initiation robes for th e active girls and applying the proceeds t o our fund. Certainly, next yea r, if we can, we shall help, if only a little, toward th e settlement sc hool, but we have, as yet, formulated no plans in regard to it, feeling that the work which now needs our money and efforts is to help make a suitable home for our local chapter, so that we may he, in every sense, proud of New York Alpha of Pi B eta Phi.

TOLEDO CLUB

Owing to the fact that the Toledo Club is not r eally a club of alumnre, but an o rganizati on of the Pi Phis of the city, whether they are at present in active chapte rs or are alumnre , the members have not met for some months. During the co ll ege year, very few are in Toledo. On June 15 Mrs. Ben Johnson, president of Beta province, entertained the Toledo Pi Phis at her home. Those present were Ruth Saddler, Helen Browning, AJi ce Du Bois, Madge Somerville, and Florence Hutchinson of Ohio Beta, Mrs. ] K.

WASHINGTON ALUMNLE CLUB

The Washington Alumna! Club has held five r egula r meetings this year . The first was devoted chie fly to regu lar business and a discussion of the settlement school work j the second, a joint meeting of active and alumnre, to the needs of the ac tive c hapte r and plans for rushing (followed by a jolly cooky shine) ; the third to the settlement school work; the fourth to plans f or Founders' Day and club business, and the fifth, our annua l b usiness meeting, to the election of officers and plans for next year.

On November 1, during th e ru shing season, the club gave a five o'clock tea at th e Tea Cup Inn for all Pi Phis, present and prospec tive. On April 28 we had a cooky shine at the home of one of the members in ce lebration of Found ers ' Day and on the next day we went to Baltimore to join Maryland Alpha, th e Baltimore Alumna! Club, and Columbia Alpha in a Founders' Day banquet.

We have not a cco mplished quite all we hoped t o, but we feel that we have had a busy and success ful year. FLO LELAND.

WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS ALUMNLE CLUB

Our club was organized in F ebruary, 191 0 with no definite purpose except to have a Pi Phi alumnre club, and get the Pi Phis togethe r I

During th e past year we have held five regular (bi-monthly) meetings and one special meeting. We have followed no stated programme and the meetings have been l argely social. We have had thimble parties and lun c heons and picnics; and it has been very pleasant indeed to meet the Pi Phis of other chapters. Our members come from a radius of forty or fifty miles, from eleven different towns, and represent nine different chapters. No two meetings have ever had the same people present . Sometimes we meet in one ci ty, sometimes in another, usually in or near Springfield .

REPORTS OF ALUMNIE CLUBS 477

We are Dot neaT any active chapter, of course, but we cherish our four girls in Smith College, who form a valuable element in our club, and love our two girls in Mt. H olyo ke though their work is so arranged that they cannot attend our meetings.

\Ve have tried to reach every Pi Phi of whom we have heard, and some who have never been with us, still write of their interest and their hope some time to join us. The response has been good on the part of the Pi Phis, but the difficulty of our situation, involving time and expense, together with OUT lack of specific work, has made our actual attendance average about eight.

Since the projection of the settlement school plan we have given much of our time to considering such work in the south, and have followed with interest the work of our committee . We sent a contribution, not a large one, but we are glad to assume this as our legitimate and welcome work, and next year we expect to work mo r e definitely for this cause. Here again, however, our peculiar situation makes our problem unique. Perhaps we are just waiting for some clever mind to evolve a new and effective plan of work adapted to our circumstances. \Ve should be glad for suggestions from any source.

Our officers for the coming yea r are: president, Mrs . Calvin Coolidge (Grace Goodhue) Vennont Beta, 21 Massasoit St. , N orthampton; secretary-treasurer, Leah Louise Stock (Michigan Alpha), 54 West St., Northampton.

We send greetings to all chapte rs and should be glad to have addresses of any Pi Phis who may come into this section; for an alumna! club is too valuable to miss and we all want to have our share in this great new work which we hope will mean much in the evolution of the fraternity.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

WHAT A FRATERNITY GIRL THINKS

When we tinally publish our fraternity history, on which so much time and thought and energy is being put by the historians, would it not be interesting to include, serially, by volume and number, the tables of contents of the ARRows from nity History the first issue to the time of publication? It would

The Fraterbe possible also for this to be arranged alphabetically, so that we should know, for example, in which v olume to l ook to find the account of the establishment of Columbia Alpha, or any other chapter, and the history of the institutions in which the chapters exist. This has been done in one fraternity history which the writer has had access to, and is very interesting reading in itself.

Of course we shall expect to read in the history th e accounts of the founding of the chapte rs, with a picture of the founders of each chapte r, if possible, and the names of the members with their honors in college, and work since graduation. Pictures of the chapter houses o r rooms would also appear. We want also to see all the Grand Councils portrayed, and sketches of them and of the ARROW Editors, who have done so much to make our journal a potent factor in our fraternity life. Some of these could probably be taken bodily from the ARROWS where they first appeared and completed to date

The task of gathering this mat erial together must be a stupendous one, but I hope that it may be possible for a rather full history, even though incomplete in its records of the old and now dead chapte rs, to be published before many years. E . L . C .

The saying, "The less o ne has to do, the less one wants to do" is so generally true as to need no comment here. It is ce rtainly true with most college girls in the case of letter writing during the vacation months.

IN MEMORIAM

MARTHA BELLE ARNOLD

Both Illinois Beta and the Galesburg Pi Phi Association feel deeply the which they sustained on May 19 in the death of Martha Belle Arnold. She was born in Galesburg, on August 10, 1876, and lived tkere throughout her life. Her greatest interest lay along educational lines, and her academic life, both as student and teacher, was spent in her Rative city. She was grad uated from the high school in 1895, and entered Lombard College, where she became a member of Illinois Beta. In 1900 she took her A.B. degree with first honors, and her interest in her work took her back for a year of graduate study in French and Gennan.

In 1901 she left Lombard with the A.M d eg ree, and started "pon her chosen work as a public school teache r, which she pursued until the last few weeks of her life . Through out this period she continued her study of French and German on her own initiative and as a member of the correspondence school of the Unive rsity of Chicago. As a teacher she was thorough, painstaking, and extremely successful, commanding the l ove of her pupils and the respec t of their parents. Her last few months of teaching were the veriest martyrdom , for she gave her wholehearted serTice when she was so weakened by suffering that only pure courage kept her at her post, though she did her work uncomplainingl¥ and well .

Illinois Beta can boast Qf few members wh o had the welfare of the chapter and the fraternity so deeply at heart as did she. She was one of those dependable members , o f which each chapter has a few, who bear the heaviest burden o f the fraternity work without a protest and to the best of their ability. Further, her co llege record was such as to be a source of pride to the girls and an incentive to better work on th eir part.

Her service in the Pi Phi Associati on was no less devoted. F or several years she filled the position of co rresponding secretary faithfully and t o the great satisfaction of the members. Even at the last she performed the duties in connection with her office with careful attention to the smallest detail. A rema rk made by an out-going to an incoming president of the association typi fies Martha's a.ttitude toward the work of the fraternity: "If you ever have anything important to be done, and want someone upon whom yo u can depend to do it, call on Martha Arnold ." Both chapte r and association grieve at her going, but both are the better and th e st ronger for her membersh ip and her service. . E. C. P .

EDITORIAL

Mr. Page's account of the farmers' co-operative demonstration work of which Dr. Seaman A. Knapp was in charge for the Department of Agriculture, should have f o r Pi Phis an especial interest. For Dr. Knapp has a Pi Phi daughter Mrs. A. M. Mayo (Minnie Knapp, '83) of Lake Charles, La., a Pi Phi daughter-in-law, Mrs Hermann Knapp (Mary McDonald , '83) of Ames, Iowa, and a Pi Phi grand·daughter, Hermine Knapp, ' 14, of Ames, Iowa, all of Iowa Gamma.

Dr. Knapp, who died April 1 in Washington at the age of seventyseven years, introduced the improved Japanese rice which has meant millions annually to the planters of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas It was he also who o riginated tbe farmers' co-operative demonstration work, for whkh railroaqs and individuals bave contributed generously .

NOTICES

The different alumna! clubs are urged to folIow t he example of the Cleveland Alumna! Club which has appointed one of its members to act as librarian in charge of copies of the ARROW which any of its members do not wish to keep. These are to be used to assist the chap ter nearest at hand to complete its chapter file and then word as to what numbers are available, by volume and number, or by month and year, may be sent the ARROW edito r , or Edith L. Carpente r , Peace Dale, R. 1., who is at present in charge of the work of assisting the chapters to complete their files

A word of caution might not be amiss in this connection . A numbe r of the chapters have r eported Vol. 24, No . 2 as missing. This is

a case where the marking is incorrect, for this is wrong ly marked on the back V ol. 21, No.2, and is the report of the ew Orleans Convention, which is to be kept with the Convention Minutes and not bound in with the ARROW file Great care should be taken in reporting available ARRows to see that the marking co rresponds with th e facts. For instance, in one file , the January and April numbers in Vol. 25 are both marked Vol. 25, No.2, whereas of course January should be marked No .2 and the April number No .3. When there is any doubt, reference should be made to the marking inside the cover.

If the a lumn a! desire to be helpful, they will bear in mind this plan of the Cleveland club, and, when about to destroy their liles of ARROWS for any reason, will pause a moment, and send word of their existence to the nearest alumna:: club, or to Mrs Theiss The earlier issues are needed by seve r a l chapte r s, and would be highly prized by many lndividllal Pi Phis, and it is th ese numbers which have been especially difficult to locate. Of course the early editions were probably small, but I have no doubt copies might be found sto red away in some attic, forgotten and unused. Let the alumme then lend a hand, look u p their files , and put them to u se, if they do not th emse lves d esire them. E. L. C.

The annual chapte r letter to alumnre is being handled so differently this year that an explanation ma y be of interest, especially to alumn re who will see only a s mall part of the general plan. As ordered by the Swarthmore convention each chapter has prepared a report divided into at least three main heads: college, chapter and membership list. In addition the fraternity has furnished a general report which is the same in each letter. In st ead of each chapter issuing its own lett er as f ormerl y, all the materia l from the 43 chapters has been sent to one editor who has arranged the reports unifonnly. Every alumna will continue to r eceive the letter of her own chapter and as usual all the letters will be sent separately to alumnre club secretaries. A bound volume containing a copy of every letter will be sent each chapte r and the general fraterni ty officers, thus forming a compact record of Wi Beta Phi for the past year.

In the membership list the members have been grouped alphabetically, by classes. This method may, or may not prove convenient, but a stranger whose name only is known can be looked up in the

catalogue while the class grouping will be convenient for of the chapter and will be very helpful to undergraduates.

With girls who left college without a degree much difficulty has been experienced in grouping under the class with which they would have graduated. The co-ope rati on of every Pi Beta Phi is earnestly desired to complete and correct this list.

One omission will readily be noticed: no distin ctio n is made between graduates and non-graduates. It did not seem possible to include the degrees this first year but, of course, they must be included another time.

The bill for printing will be sent to the new corresponding secretary of each chapter, with 25 extra copies (or distribution among patronesses and chapter friends.

The editor realizes how difficult in many cases has been the compiling of this material · especially at this time of year and wishes to express her appreciation of the courtesy and spirit with which the various girls have responded to her many-and at times none too tender epistles I S. P. W.

REPORT OF THE ALUMNA> SETTLEMENT SUBCOMMITTEE

At the call of the chairman, Emma Harper Turner, the delegated sub-committee of five, representir.g the national settlement committee met in Philadelphia, May 27, at the home of Anna Pettit.

The developlllent of plans was determined by two factors difficult to harmonize : resources and a desire to begin the work. this summer. After ten hours of discussion the following plan was unanimously adopted as the practical course open to us at present: To begin the work by co-operating with a public school in a mountain district, where the county will pay for the services of one teacher, to be selected by the II B <J> committee; the II B <J> organization, on its part, to send to the same place at its expense another teacher to develop, as the opportunity offers, the proposed industrial work; these two teachers together to be charged with developing the settlement idea their own home as rapidly as seems wise and in the way the situation demands

ligating character, as it would be unfortunate to locate permanently in ·the wrong neighborhood. We hope to find II B <k t o undertake the work.

The money that has been pledged or paid toward the endowment fund will be set as ide for that purpose and used as the nucleus of the permanent fund. The contributions of certain clubs were not restricted to the endowment fund . This fact provides a swn which will justify the starting of the work: this year, and additions during the year will be collected to maintain it.

The work of the committee was immeasurably lightened by the generous hos pitality of Mr. and Mrs. Petti t, who converted what would otherwise have been a st renuous and trying committee meeting into a delightful house -party.

Mrs . Carrie Chapman Catt, '82, has a brand new gavel which she will wield

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

{or the first time at the gathering of the suffrage clans of aU nations at the convention at Stockholm in June, where she will preside. The gavel was presented to her at a party in the Hotel Astor yesterday by the woman suffragist. of New York in honor of her departure next week.

After leaving Stockholm Mrs. Catl will start on a suffrage tour with the President of the Dutch Woman Suffrage Association to convert the world to the "cause." She will visit Turkey, China. Japan, Penia. and South Africa, JOunding the call of the ballot box and shouting the battle cry of "Votes for Women."

Mrs . C.u told the women yesterday she feared she could never get that lovely new gavel put the foreign customs officers, for she had had trouble with the customs and a gavel before. This one is a rather fat gavel of ebony and silver, and yesterday it bore a beautiful yellow suffrage ribbon bearing the slogan, "Votes for Women," tied about its bulky waist. It is Rot the kind oC • gavel to hide its head under a bushel.

The other gavel landed with Mrs. Catt in Bremen some years ago. She kept it in a new bureau trunk, and the very first thing the trunk got itselC lost and was not found until most of the passengers had departed. Being a new trunk, with which its owner was not well acquainted, it was difficult to unlock it in the ucitement of train time. The first thing the customs men put their hands on was the gavel in a box. The box had to be opened, but the key got misplaced and the customs men stood around looking suspicious, certain that diamond tiaras, playing cards, tobacco, liquor, and everything that ought not to be in that box was in it. When the poor little gavel came out they knew all their suspicions were justified because they didn't know what it was.

"How many have you?" they asked solemnly, for Germans don't have gavels, but bells. for their meetings. A good German American explained all about it, but they didn't' understand even then, and so the gavel had to go to the in· spector. It was only just as the train was starting that Mrs. Catt managed to get aboard.

"Witb the 'Votes for Women' on tbis," said Mrs. Catt yesterday, "they will never let me in, to say nothing oC tbe gavel."-Nno York Times for April S.

The eloquence oC Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt won a noteworthy triumph at the recent International Women Suffrage Congress at Stockholm. The Swedish and the Norwegian governments had each appointed an official representative to attend the congress. The Swedish representative was the minister of foreign affairs, who was considered and considered himselC. a hardened antisuffragist. Mrs. Catt, in her annual address as president, reviewed the progress of the woman suffrage movement during the last year in almost all the countries of the world. She spoke in her usual masterly and convincing way. The minister of foreign affairs listened, growing redder and redder. At the close he rushed up to Mrs. Catt, not to rend her in pieces. but to assure her that she had made him a convert !-P4i1l1delpllia. Nort4 Americll".

The art exhibit of MilS Cunningham, '07. which hall just closed, was held in her studio at 1117 Terry Ave., and proved of great interest to those who believe in Seattle as an art center. Her friend. were given an opportunity of expreu· ing the justification of their belief in her when a pupil of Curti s , and their pleasure in her triumph. as a prue winner, here and abroad.

It would be difficult to con si der the photographic work of Mill Imogen Cunningham in other than an enthusiastic spirit The professional in that field may be able to find the words to expres s the critics' point of view but to the art lover or artist her prints are a sourCe of unfailing delight. An amatenr she has never been, hut "professional" would scarcely be a word to dignify her accompUshments--an artist she sympathetically is.

In her portraits, which have been said by many t o sbow the influence of Rembran d t, she admits r athe r the influence of Manti in painting. and of Coburn in pbotovaphy. Added t o a sure but simple taste f o r the decorative in composition, her ligh ti ng, which has developed "'p'otting" to • bold chiaroICuro of classic s trength and beauty, gives ber po rtr aits a wide raDge in fetling i from academic heights t o twilight sentiment o r mirth.

"The arti s t," .ay. Whi stl er, Ili, born to pick and ch oose and a rrange in an artistic composition, the elements and objects of nature, • • the musician chootes and arrangC I the notel of music in a harm onio us compositiGu. To ..y that the .rtist mUlt follow nature is to lay that the artist i. to sit on the piano." It would appear th a t in phot o graphic landscapes the a rti s t m ult u.i t on the piano," but, to wait and search and choose from tim« to time. just tbe moment wben plangent nature arranges her beautiful elements in jost the form that brines nature into arti sti c coherence and up to the conception of the artist, that is the l abo r and the reward

In atmosphere some of her land scape s are tre a ted perhaps too broadly, re.ulrintr in vag ueness and loss of deptll. but th e sure impression gained from the collection in one of co nvi ction and gTll5p o f besoty, in a lighted wood, a wind·swept field. or a bit o f the old wo rl d d reaming i n its s weetn us.-Wds4;"11"" A 1.",."tU_

At last, BostOD University bas a new president. Dr. Lemuel Marlin of Baker University will take u p his duties as president next September. He visited the college this spring and was received with great enthusiasm. JUlt at present, bowever, we are sad at the 1011 of Dr Huntington, who is greatly beloved throughout the university. This spring, the students united in pre· &eDting him with an armchair; and at commencement, he received & huge bunch of rOles in recognition of hi, services . Dr, Huntington is now dean of the graduate school, although be will Dot be required to fulfill the duties of that office for some time, as he has been granted a years leave of absence.

The Y. W. C. A. eledions for nut year have been held , and we are glad to say that Dorothea Melden, '12:, was elected president. Gertrude Jackson, ' n, i. vice·president, and several other n fits are on committees.

Examinations ar e thin gs of the remote pas t and house-parties are very much in the present But to begin at the begining, or about a month ago and Founders' Day. To celebrate the event the alumnae arranged a charming luncheon. It W85 held at the h ome of Alma Anderson, '09, during the Easter holidays so that some o( the out-of-town alumnae might be preseDt, thu s making the occasion a reunion and also an introduction of our freshmen. Another very enjoyable luncheon was given the chapter by Mrs. Chambers, our late st patroness. We are feeling so grieved at the thought of losing her _ She and Professor Chambers leave for Columbia next fall. Another patroness, Mrs. Parson s, has been most kind in keeping open house every Sunday for the out-of-town girls.

The one event this yur which stands out as mOlt important for the denlopment of the college itself i. the appointment of our neW' dean, Dr. Virginia Gildersleeve. She has the Ulual wide-reaching powen of a dean. ud Mi.1 Gildersleeve iI a woman of such 'ttODg personality and luch force and energy that one feels that her iUltanati OD bas been a turning-point for the college. As the dean has held office for only a few month., this change has betn evidenced, for tbe most part, merely by rumon of plans for next year; the only innovation already carried out has been that of having an official "adviser" from the faculty for each stude nt-whi ch apparently harmle ss provi.ion has cau sed more excitement than can well be imagined.

Because we are in the heart of New York City, and because mo.t of tbe .tudents live at home and go back and forth, every day, our conditions are very different from those of non-city colleges. However, we have a beautiful campo. and are in a rather secluded part of the city,-a short block from the Hodson and Riverside Drive,-and we have quite AI mucb life/' and of as c h arming a IOrt, in its own way, AI oar more fortunate .isters who revel in acres of field and woods, doring the college year.

We are for l unate, too, in the relation Barnard bean to Columbia University. We are entirely separate from Columbia in administration, dasses, etc ., but all degree . are conferred by the Colombia University and the president of the Columbia University is, ex·officio , president of Barnard. All ondergraduate courses for Barnard College students are conducted at Barnard, and graduate courses, which are all conducted at Columbia, are open to Barnard graduates and even to sufficiently advan ce undergraduates Teachers College, too, a part o{ Columbia University, opens its cours es to Barnard students, and next year, several courses in the Union Theological Seminary, next door, are offered to students of Barnard.

One or two new professors have been appointed this year, in the Greek and English departmentl, and the Ella Weed Memorial Library has been con.iderably enlarged and added to, but otherwilC there are no cbanges in the merely s tudious side of college.

For the other side,-the campus bas blossomed out in a row of mapletrees, rather young and {rail-looking as yet-tbe giCt of 19lo,-and the sweet tones of our c himes already seem like old friend.. The new building, talked of for so long, has not yet appeared, but in &nother year or two, at the most, there will be luch imperative need of it, with the ever -in creasing n1lmber of students, that it will have to come. I

Field Day this year was as great a su ccess as alway s. The services held first in the "theatre" were very interesting and impressive, and the athletic events were not only exciting, but showed, as everyone agreed, a very fino. "sporling spirit" on the part of all the classes, winners and Josen alike. 19 11 put to shame all notions of senior backwardness and "fossility," by coming out first

And what of the II 4>'s? First of all , we have taken new rooms for next year, nearer college,-at 528 West 114 Street, and we are looking forward to lOme happy, cosy times there We cannot, quite yet, Jee our way to having a whole apartment of our own, but we hope to realize that 10nlr'Cherished wilh in another year, if everything goes well. We wilh that all n 4ls who are anywhere near N ew York would come in to see us there; we promise you as warm a welcome as we know how to give.

Our soc ial affairs have been of all IOrtl-& St. Patrick's Day party at Beth Thomson's (as g-reen as could be, and as jolly as Beth's parties alwaY' are) a tea to our men friends, a shower for our two April brides, Gladys Bonfib and Mabel McCann, a junior hou se-party at Dorothy Griffin's dear little bungalow, a canoeing-party on the P assaic River, and our lut dance of the year The annual Founders' nay banquet, which we always celebrate with the New York Club, was held this year at the Gregorian HoteL As usual , we met hosts of II 4ls from all over tbe country, and. as usual. we aU enjoyed ourselves immensely_

One afternoon in the end of May, Sophie Woodman. '07. gave us a party at her beautiful home in New York University. The house was almost entirely covered with great clusters of wisteria. and the view from the porcb was wonderfuL We bad supper outside, and afterwards danced on the porch. I t was tbe loveiest party you could imagine!

Just before commencement, o ur alumnae gave u. a cooky sbine on the roof of tbe Speyer School. The seniors were welcomed into the New York Beta Alumnle Club and each one was presented with an. spoon,-and the chapter r eceived a .poon, too, from the president of the club.

All Joyal Swarthmoreans have been actively inte r ested this prine- in the new endowment fund. By Commencement Day we have to raise $soo,ooo for that is the condition that the National Education Board places on a gift of $7S,ooo Alumni and fri ends have contributed generously. The undergraduates have worked in every possible way to help th e ca u se a long. We can bny sandwiches. have our clothes pressed. errands run. letters written. and a dOEen things and the money all goes to swell the fund. The Thetu gave a picnic instead of their u sual banquet and subscribed the difference in cost. Every one is helping 10 that there i s: littl e doubt that we shall have the sum by th.e time appointed.

On May 20 a Swarthmore Carnival WItS held to bring our c ampaign to every one'. n otice and. incidentally, to p r ofi t by the gate receipts. A namber of entertainment s of every variety were offered on diffe rent partl of the campUI throughout the afternoon and evening. There were athletic contests en \Vhittier Field. th e Acting Drama students gave Sophocles' "Antigone." the IOph omore s repeated their original musical comedy, there was a splendid pageant of th e Canterbury Pilgrims. and many o ther attractions. The crowd was 10 l a ret: that no performance lacked an audience O ur girls were reQuested to give · "Midsummer Night's Dream" again, just as i t wa..s at Convention l .. t summer. Two large and enthusiastic a udiences made us feel that o ur part in the Carnival was a success. It is needless to atte mpt to lay what the endowment will mean to Swarthmore. The gain will not, however. be entirely a material one. It will be a p r oof of loyalty and devotio n that will be an inspiration to the coll ege f o r all time.

A few co urses have been added to the college cu rriculum this past year : a co urse in jurisp ruden ce f o r persons prepa ring for the study of law or f or business life; one in biology to prepare st udents for the study of medicine. and additional co urse . in civil engineeri ng, electr ical engineering. mechanical engineering. and chemical engineering, also a chair of pedagogy with courses f o r persons preparing to te ach.

We do not know who will take Dr. Prin ce's position but the new president wu elected the Saturday enning before baccalaureate He is Dr. Noble of Goucher College, Baltimore These are about the only changes. Dr. Prettyman, the professor of German, has returned from abroad and will resume his duties here. Professor Shapelle, who has filled the chair for the past year. during Dr. Prettyman's absence. has become the professo r of German and Fren ch in Gettysburg College, Gettysburg.

This year tbe college has also enjoyed the exchange German professor, Dr. Xaruke, whose presence was due to the interest of Dr. Prettyman. The whole college received a benefit from hi s visit as well as amusement. It see ms that in every letter to the AltROW we bave mentioned Dr. Crider and the sociology department and for those who a re interested, we will say tbat the department and the professor have con ti nned throughout the last term in their instructive course and bave afforded quite a great deal of fun-until the marks came out Speak of fun and we must think of Class Day It was very good and Lete's poem added its own charm you may be sure. Immediately following commencement was the alumni dinner at which all Pi Phis helped serve. We had a mighty good time as usual.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

This month of May has brought with it the u s ual e ntertainment s to the senion. among the se one of the most enjoyable being that given by the sop homores,-a presentation of "Robin H ood ," given o n the western shore of Maryland n ea r the Chesapeake Bay . The jun iors entertained the seniors with a grand banquet, held in the Rotunda of Goucher Hall. The freshmen will entertain th em with a lantern chain, whic h is given in the evening. This is one of the most attra ctive features of the year. The sc ni or s are sea ted on a stone wall. at the side of a co urt between the dormitories, while the freshmen dressed in white, carrying lantern s, form various figures and end by singin g the senior class song. Then the seniors have been entertained by the vario us cl ubs in many wayt-boat rid e's, picni cs in the co untry, promenades, trolley rid es , etc.

The greatest event for the .seniors themselves and the Ihing that causes most expectation on the part of every student, however, is Senior Dramatics. This is to be "Mid·Summe r Night's Dream" and to be given in the open. We are all wailing patiently for it to take place, {or we feel that it will be a grand success. D u ring the l ast two weeks, as is the c ustom of the co llege, th e &enior s have been singing between 7.00 and 7.30 on the steps of Goucher Hall. The last evening, on which they sing, the sophomore class in cap and gown will escort them with a daisy-chain and when th ey fini s h singing the juniors take their places, as seniors for th e co ming year, The last socia l feature for the year is the faculty reception to the senio r s , whi c h will be on June 6, and on June 7 is commencement.

The c lass elections will not take place until next fall. but the results of college elections were: Leona Buc hwald, co rr esponding secreta r y of st u dents' o rgani zation and Edna Garvin, s«retary of Y. W C. A.

The chapter was given an enjoyable picni c by the a lumn re club. I I afforded an opportunity to meet the visiting Pi Phis: Beall Martin. '09. Estelle Martin ' a i, Edna Stone, '01, Nellie McNutt, '08, Ann abelle Miller, '09.

O ur annual banquet will be held on June 3 at whi ch we a lway s have s uc h a l ovely time, for we ha ve so many of our alumnae bac k with us. Beall Martin, '99, Estelle Martin, 'Ot , Emily Hoskins·Gawthrop , '0:1, Grace Spettigue, '06, Annabelle Miller, '09, will be present, besides the alumnre club,

Pan·Helleni c ru les have been formulated {or the coming year. After dis· c u ssions as to pledge day, wh ether it should be in the sophomore year o r whether it should be as usual, Pan Hellenic decided on the latter. The fra· ternities stood 3 to 5 in (avor of pledge day as it has been before. The rules were c hanged a tittle from those of last year, one of the radical changes being Hf r aternity an open questio n." \Ve are very anxious to see how this will work.

T K n, the local at Goucher, is bus ily planning for a r e uni on. They are going to give a music al and r ecital to which all fraternities have been invited.

Maryland Alpha wishes all Pi Phis a very pleasant summer vacation and good lu c k in rush ing in the fall.

Owing to the excellent management of our president. Admiral Stockton, and the loyal support of the university's many friends the crisis in the affairs of the college is now over and college spirit is manifested in a marked degree . The buildings whi ch we now occupy belong to an adjacent hotel and are to be lorn down some time in the future so we are dreading a notice to move. However, despite this fact the future looks very bright to us and the past misfortune has bound the student body and faculty together in sympathy and appreciation.

We consider ourselves fortunate in having another patroness. On May 10 Mrs. Stockton entertained the chapter with a delightful lea at her home and a few days later consented to become a patroness, which of course pleased us very much.

Since Easter there has been a good deal of social liCe The various men's fraternities have entertained several evenings with informal dances.

On Thursday evening, April 20 we held our spring dance which proved a great succus.

On Saturday, April 29 we went to Baltimore and celebrated Founders' Day with Maryland Alpha They gave us a royal good time and the aftemoon and evening seemed all too short. The banquet was served at the Marlborough.

Pan Helleni c has arranged the ru shing nles for next year. They are much more simple than th ose of thi s year. There is to be a week o f non rushing and a week of ru shing, also a common bid day.

As to have nearly four months vacation this summe r we determined to keep track of one another. Several sewing parties , and picnics have been planned, also, a camping trip up the P otomac Then, too, we are gomg to write a round-robin letter which promises to be when it reaches the eighteenth girl.

] une again! and commencement almOtt here.

By the time the Summer ARROWS have reached us 1 s uppose we shall all be scattered for the vacation and eager to hear of anything that pertains to co Uege and fraternity life.

A s this Jetter has to do especially with matters of interest concerning the institution, J thought it might be well to give you a few facts in regard to ils history and present outlook.

Ohio State University had as the impetus to its establishment an Act of Congress 'of July 2, 1862, "donating lands to the several states which may provide coll eges for the benefit of agriculturt and the mchanica J arts," In 1864 a bill passed the s tate legislature accepting this grant and pledging ful_ fillment of all its provisions.

The college first threw open its doors to students in 1873.

In 1890 the financial basis of the university was greatly strengthened by a permanent annual grant from the United States Government A year later the state also provided an annual grant. which was doubled in 18¢ and further increased in 1906.

The la st ten years have been unequaled by any other decade in the history of the university f or expansio n and development. Buildings and departments have increased.

The university is now divided into seven co ll eges and the work offered lead s up to seventeen tint, And several higher degrees . There are twenty-two large buildings on the c ampus, besides the library now under construction. The campus itself is unusually spacious, consisting of 110 acres for huilding and landscape purposcs and 330 acres devoted to agriculture and horticu lture.

A new sorority, 6 r has been installed at Ohio State, making six national sororities in all.

Just at present we are busy attending parties and showers for o ur two June bride s , Corn a Greiner and Marguerite Lisle.

Ohio Beta sends love and greetings to all siuer chapters and wishes for them the happiest of summers.

The year whi ch has j u s t closed has been one of great material progress for Wooster We have see n this year the completion of a $600,000 fund to be used f o r new buildings and endowment, the erection of a $150,000 men's dormitory, And the laying of the corner-iione o f a new $80,000 gymnAsium A hopeful beginning has also been made o n a pension fund f o r retired profe ssors. With the in crease in endowment, it has become possible to enlarge the teac hing f orce and next yetlr we shall probably have e ight or nine new professors.

It is customary for each se nior class before leaving W oos ter t o make gifts to the coll ege. The gift of this year's class will far surpass anything that has been done heretofo re From the proceeds of the senior pl ay and from individual pledges the mon ey will be rai sed to e recl a $3,ocx> stone arch over the approach to the campus, which, if all goes rigbt, will be unveil ed at the fifth annual commence ment reunion of the class.

Spring term at Woos ter i s full of gaietie s, but perhaps the most picturesque celebration and the one whi ch reveals the rea! Wooster sp irit at its best is Color Day, which falls ea rly in M ay. The whole day is given over to merry·making which alumni and o ther guests come from far and near to witDen. Early in the morning all assemble in the college chapel, and the programme of stunts begins, the cr o wd fl oc king fr om chapel to camp u s and from ca mpu s to the stage in the gymnas ium as the varied programme progresses. All th e organi:r:ations of the coll ege, the f aculty, th e various classes, the art and mu sic departments, are respon sib le f or a s tunt A sha m battle by the peace association, a chorus of grave professors, rendering strains from the "Chocolate Soldier," a senior minstrel s how, a clever parody of Chanticleer in which the fortunes of Cock Robin were detailed, th ese are' but a 'few of the ma.ny features which this year

Our ru shing this sp ring was very q uiet si nce th e "fi fteen hour requirement" had to be taken into consideration ; however, we have one new pledge to introduce to n Blanche Osbome o f Summitville, Ind.

The week end of May 19, IT ha d an informal party. Several of the girls had visitors from home so we invited a number of town girls in and had a week-cnd party. One of the m ost delightful f eatures was a picnic party at Ruth Miller's co untr y h ome. O n Saturday night a min s trel show was hastily improvised, and was given at to :30 o'clock Th e girls wh o were blacked and d r essed in white liang n longs most of which were written by our own girls. Mrs. Stee le, our former matron, and BleliSing Ra ss mann, ex·' t z, and Mrs. P a ul Lybye r ex-'13. of Indianapoli s, were present. The party wa l quite a success, and, although it was not planned as a rushing stunt, we feel sure that the girls who visited os at that Hme went away with a pleasant recollection of n 'It's good fellowship .

On Founders' Day thi s year we hel d our annual luncheon at the Page Country Club in Indiana polis. As Indiana B was h os t ess on this occasion the chapter went almOlit to the l ast girl. Mo s t of us had to hurry away before the luncheon was over because the Woman's League gave a p l ay that night in which al1 the women in the cast were II cJlos. The play was "The Land of Heart's De sire," by W. M. Yeats The girls who took pnrt were Edna Hatfield. ' J I, Bemece Smith. '13, and Edna Walke r. '13. Th e st udent comment s were very gratifying as it was our first attempt at anyth ing bordering on the classi c .

One of the prettiest dan ces of the year was given May 27. by K A 9. It was held in the student building which was a perfect mass of pink roses The mOlt delightful part of the whole affair w as the asking of one girl from each fraternity to attend the dance. This is a decidedly democratic step and it is to be hoped that K A e will be followed by her s i s t e r Greeks in promoting a true spirit of democracy.

Mary Nash, ' f3, is treasurer o f the w omen ' s leag ue f or n ext year. She was also secretary of the sophomore class.

Mignim Wh i te, ' tt, was president for the women ts le ag u e this yenr.

At the writing of this letter we are all busy rudy to g o home We are glad and yet sorry. Amid all the gladness and sorrow it is bard to coll ect

our thoughts enough to tell you all what we have been doing. To three of our girls this time is especially hard. (or it is their l ast year. Margaret Newman and Alice Cropper arc graduated from the Literary department and Florence Fennessy from the music department Mildred Mabee a l so reeeived a diploma in this department but she will TClurn next year to continue her college work .

Several interesting change. have been made at Lombard this spring. Formerly, suspension was the penalty (or a ce rtain Dumbe r of unexcused chapel absence; the new rule adds one half credit to the requirements for graduation. Four changes in pro(cl5onhips will be nOliced next year. The saddest of all is that Dean Rich who has worked with us twenty- five years, is to be with u s no more. Arthur Wil son, a graduate of Corne ll is to take his place and we wish him much success. Anna Chappelle-Cunne ll, Illinoi s B, is to have charge of the d ramati c art and or atory, Nell Townsend - H inchliff, Illinois 4, and Ruth Chamberlain, Ill inois B, are to teach in the music department.

The most important change is the fact that the aim of Lombard has been altered. Special emphasis is to be laid on the literary side of studies. Because music did not help with this aim, it was dedded that no diploma would hereafter be granted, hut dramatic art and oratory should be made stronger and a degree given for comp l eted work.

Two members of the senior class were chose n for the honors this year. Sewall Wr ight re ceived a scho larship to Illinois University and Edna Thoreen spoke for the class at commencement.

Commencement brought many loyal alumni back to Lombard. From the time of the baccalaureate sermon on Sunday, June 5, people began to come. They were welcomed by the new students to whom :l year's residen ce had given a fellow fe eling toward all Lombardites. Monday was given ove r to mutings for the alumni , until eveni ng when th e Townsend girls' declamation contest wa s given Tuesday all Lombard friends enjoyed the annual picni c and senio r class day exercises, consis ting of tableaux, class wills. and prophecies. In the evening, President Fisher and hi s wife re cei ved at their home. On Wedn esday, the graduation exercises were h eld. The Rever end A. B. Beresford spoke on "A Leaf from the Book of Life." Then there was the a lumni banquet and last of all the Junior Prom. then. h ome!

Soon after the la s t chapte r letter was written the girls and boys both closed successful basketball seasons. Since then baseball has been attracting a n the attention. The season was fairly successfu l more than half the games being won.

Lombard has heen doing quite a deal in deba t ing nnd orato r y. We held a debate with Augustana College, in which we were defeated. The SwanLawton contest made Wellingt on Holme s winner of the first prize and Sewall Wright winner of the second Mr. Holmes represented us at Wheaton. Ill .• and Mr. Wright representtd Lombard at Northwestern University in the annual state peace contest.

The Chicago · Lombard club held a banquet in In April the enthusiasm for dear alma mater. was celebrated. March annual to keep up loyal Lombard banquet

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

On May 27 the two IOphomore custodian. of the flag presented to Lombard by the D. A. R. ladies of Galesburg gave it with appropriate and patriotic exercises, to two freshmen to guard through the next year. Such an exercise wu • remindu of how dear the oation', ftag ought to be &Dd i. to UI lU American •.

Now to tell what we Pi Phi .isten have been doing. Fern Townsend won the first prue in the Townsend contcst on June 6. Clara Ban was appointed one custodian of the Oag and was elected treasurer of the college paper. Bessie Emery was elected assistant editor of the Revie'Ul.

As to putie., these were few and far between. We entertained the Alpha Xi Delta girl. at the bungalow in April and they entertained us at card. a little later But the biggest, the best thing was our annual dan ce given in the gymnasium June 3. Lavender and white wisteria over a white background, and hung from the ceiling, mixed with hundreds of willow branche s, made a garden in fairyJand. Henna Wyman, Delia Conger, '06. Eleanor Gilmer-PetenoL ' 10, Ethel Chamberlain. '06, Anna ROil. ' 09. and Theo GoUiday, '01. attended

Our Jatest pledge bas been initiated. Helen Edgerton, ' 13. of Gale s burg.

This year we started wbat we bope will be our annual Pi Phi alumna: cooky shine We opened the bungalow •• pread our cloth on the carpet and gathered 'round Not as many alumni a. we wished to see were there but we hope to see the number grow each year. Ethel Tompkin s-Clayberg, Laura Townsend-Dickinson, Helen Carlton - Marsh, Della Myer•• Alvia Myers - Holmes, and Anna Yeom&Ds·Crissey were present

Because three of our senior girls are going to teach we decided that c oat pins would be the best gradnation presents to remember us by.

This year rushing was absolutely prohibited. Nest year there is to be rushing but rushing il Iped6ed &I formal and informa1. set times are given when this may be done, and the rules will be very stri ctly kept.

On March IS the A 95 of Lombard and Knox College joined in the celebration of their Founders' Day. A little later, the s ame fraternity gaye their annual informal party.

A rather unique affair was held April %5 , the Greek women 's Pan_H ellenic hanQuet Seven fraternities were represented and a member of each responded to a toast. Different lOngs were .nng and good fellowship was pro moted among all. BUSIE Ew.uy.

Knox College hal closed one of her most successful years with bright prospects in every department for the future. During the past winter the remaining pledges of the q uarter of a million endowment fund, which was tbe goal let three years ago. were paid into the treasury. With the sp lendid new George navis Science Han ready for occupancy in September, Knox' s labor · atory equipment will be one of the most complete in the country. Knox further feell that she I' especiall,. to be congratulated on beiDg ene of the four small colleges of the middle west which will this co ming year have an exchange of professo rs with Harvard University. At present the plan is for Professor Albert Bu shnell Hart of the department of hi story at H arva rd to spend the month of February at Knox, giving intensive work in th e more advanced bistory courses, as well a. a series of so-called popular lectu res which will be open to the people of Galesburg.

On May 12 the second annual May fete was held on the campus back of Old Main , just at sunset. An especially attractive feature of the fete was the presentation of a masque in Greek cos tume, adapted from Ben Jonlon's "H ue and Cry of Cupid." Four of the leading parts of the masque were taken by our girts. Eula Arm st rong, who bad been chosen by popular vote, made a beautiful and stately queen of the May, in wbose hon or the f olk dances, which followed the masque, were given. Martha Latimer as Venus took ller part well, while Mary Quillin and Winifred Ingersoll were two of the graces attending Venus.

Many alumni and friends of the college have been back to attend the seventy· f ourth Commencement. In the events of the work Fi Phi was creditably rep· resented. Gertrude Eric: kson W O II first honors in the girls' declamation con· test. while Dema H ars hbarger di d splendid work in the senior c las s play .

Founders' Day was celebra te d 3S u s ual by Illinois Beta and Illinois Delta with n joint banquet. Many of the alumna: of both c hapters were in attendance.

This spring there ha s been an exceptionally large number of delightfu l c hapter social affairs. Early in the spri ng Illinois Delta entertained at a progre ssi ve party. The itinerary included the houses of four of our town gi r ls. each hou se representin/::: in decoration, etc . ODe of the three men's fraternities here at Knox, with the fourth house as the Pi Phi house, wh e re a delicious supper was served. Our gue s t s were very enthu s iastic over the par t y, dec l aring it t o be ODe of the most origina l and enjoyab l e affairs ever given at Knox.

May 6 Mrs. Peter Brown, one of our patronesses, very delightfully entertained the active chapte r at a luncheon at her home.

Eight of our girls were among the guests at a big formal dance given by tw o of the I)atrones ses of Illinois Epsilon chapte r of Delta Delta Delta in hanor of the active chapter.

After the fraternity examinati o n which was held at Helen Ryan's, we aU enjoyed a cooky shine. Another was held at th e home of Trene Bridge. And the last week of college work we met at the home of Lottie Steele and had a fine coo ky shine, after which we adjourned to a Pan-Hellenic meeting of the active chapters of Tri - Delta and Pi Phi. At this meeting we decided to hATe the same rul es for 19 11 -1 12 as we have had for the two years past, which means no ru s hing and sophomore pledge day.

The latter part of the semute r has brought us several interesting college ac tivities; among the se was the very successful presentation of George Ade's "The College W idow." It was given by the junior class, and Fl orence Sche. took part in it.

"Trig" play, which is given annually by the men of the freshman class, was especially notable this season as hereto{o re it bas been written only by the men. I n the class of 1914 . two women were honored as joint aut hors,-a Kappa h aving written several of the lyrics, and an Alpha P h i having composed and pe r sonally directed the music.

On our own Founders' Day, May 21 we wen t to a pretty picnic ground calJed Cold Spring. and sumptuously breakfasted on bread and milk. Three years ago on our Founders' Day we reeeivcd our piano from the alunuur: and decided at that time each year to commemorate this event by having a bread and milk celebration.

O n the evening of May 17 the active chapte r of K K r and n B • entertained all the Greeks in town, alumnlle and active, at S utton', Hall In the r ece iving line were Mrs. Mauck and Misses Joy Mauck , Nets Sawyer, Bess Kempf, Fern McLeod. Leithel Patton, and Mildred Washburn. The room Will decorated with flowe rs and pennants. Kelly', orchestra of Reading furnis hed excellent music.

Half of the chap ter attended the h o use -pa rty given by the Alpha Tau Omegas over the week.-cnd of May 27. Baw Beese Lake. The week following the entire Pi Phi ch apte r went to the lake f or a house-party. Mrs. Whitney the mother of two of our Pi Phi girls, chaperoned us and we had a most happy delightful time together. It is at a time like this that a chapte r comes closest together and lives as one with common interest and sympathies.

We are very proud of our freshman, Flo Gossma who wo n first place in the girls Nebecker oratorical contest this spring. June 7 Mildred Washburn gave her graduation recital in music and covered herself with honor. Next year she follows Miss lone Eggleston a, instructor in violin in the coll ege.

It is with real rcgret that we l ook toward the close of onf co llege year, with its sepa ration s and the breaking of ties that have grown so dear to us, yet in looking back over the past year we f ee l proud and happy because of the good things it has brought us. The university, as a wh o le has not changed materially. yet there have been many change s of especial interest to the women students. It is now almost an assured fact that Mi chigan is t o have res iden ce halls for freshmen girls. Final negotiations for the purchase of the first han will soon be completed. \Vith thi s new arrangement however we are looking forward with fear and trembling to the imminence of sop homore pledge day.

The faculty are at present agitating the question of limiting to a greattr degree, the elective system in the university. in order to prevent over-specialization and its contrary evil. that o f "da bbling" into t oo many subjects.

Contrary to our plans. we celebrated Founders' Day, Saturday n oon . April 29. by giving a lun cheon at the chapter house for our alumnre and our town ladies .

On May 4 the annual Swing-out Day for the seniors took place. After the festivities upon the campus, the junior girls, according to their custom, entertained the seniors at a spread. Almost a tragedy occurred in the disappearance of the ice-c ream; we knew the se niors to be the guilty parties but not until June 8 did they rece ive their good name and give the juniors a return spread. Thi s was a garden party in the yard of the chapter hou se

On May S. the junior girls' play was given for the third time, und er the auspices of the A ssoc iation of Collegiate Alumnre, for the benefit for the proposed re side n ce halls. Quite a neat little s um was realized.

The girls' annual Field Day picnic took place Saturday. May 27. at Palmer Field; t'he usual contes ts and the annual May-pole were the features of the day..

The annual Ma y festival was held in University Hall Ma y 10 to 13 inclusive. That proved to be a most exciting week for us, for we had about ten guests in the house and to cap the climax a rushing party during the weekend. We gave a dance at the house on Saturday evening and on Sunday pledged two girls from Marsh a ll, Mi ch .• Hetty Prothero, and Harri et Huelett. We are also proud to announce that Elizabeth Otte, of Grand Rapids has been added to our roll of pledges.

Honon : Effie C. Paine, .z, B K. teaching fellowship in La tin.

The college year of the University of Wiscon si n cl osed June 21. At this lime more than 600 graduated from the collcgu. On May 26, the annual May·pole dance was given on the upper ca mpu s by the girl, of the university. It was & pretty sight and enjoyed by a grcat many. The new biology building, begun last fall, is gradually t aki ng s hape. It will be a large and finely equipped building when completed.

The all·absorbing topic for Wisconsin Alpha at prcscnt, is the new chapter house. The old house was vacated at Easter time and the work of remodeling began a l most immediately. The back part has been torn down, while the front has been moved back and turned hal( way around. A new front is to be b uilt on Those of us who expect to r eturn in the f.n, are looking forward to being together again in the new house.

The chapter has cause to rejoice this spring, for Effie C. Paine, 'II, has been elected to 4> B K and appointed to a teaching fellowship in Latin for the coming year.

On Ma r ch 20, besides Doritt Osann, '14, of Oak Park, 1lI who was mentioned in the last issue of the Anow, Mary Laird, " 4. of Crisfield, Md., and Margaret Scott, '14, of Wauwatosa, Wis., were initiated. They are fine girls and we are looking forward to having them with us three more years.

Founders' Day was celebrated by a luncheon at the home of Mrs. Dennis, a patr oness. A number of the alumna: were with us at this time. A very enjoyable time was passed. The annual banquet was given this year, June 17, a.t Lathrop Hall as we were unable to hold it at the hou se.

In May of each year occurs the faculty election to membership in Iota Pbi, the local honorary fraternity. This year, ou t of the few chosen, two were Pi Phis--GTllce and Pearl McKee .

Exit Dutton of Burlington, Iowa, is a re cen t initiate.

During commencement week the members of the active chapter were given an info rm al reception by the alumnre chapte r.

Another feature of commencement time was the breakfast given by the active chapter for the alumnae and mothers of the town girls. This pretty affair took place on the porch of the chap ter house.

DEAR SISTERS IN PI BETA PHI :-

Eight more girls of low. Beta greet you April 21 we initiated lix splendid girls: Nellie Moon of Albia, Vera Maxwell and Mary Thompson of Ind ianola, Mac Check of Kan sas City, Mo., Florence Wright of Keota, Neya Kinser of Coon Rapids; and May 36 Dorothy Storey and Hclen Whitney were pledged to u s.

Under Dr. Francis Stri ckland. o ur ncw president, Simpson is experiencing several changes in curriculum. We shall also have several new professors next year.

Although commencement is always an important season here. not so much effort is being put forth for its celeb ra tion thi s year, 8J wal done in 1910-0ur Semi·Centennial Jubilee.

Simpson has been very proud of its l adies' g lee club this spring, and we ce rt ainly have good reason for 10 being. [n April the girls won the state championship which they competed with Ames, Drake University and Highland Park College. Perhaps you think we weren ' t nearly wild with joy. Founders' Day was celebrated this year at the home of one of our Mrs. W M Park. O ur freshmen entertained us with a farce "Three Years in Pi Phi." A number of a lumn ae wen! present and we had quite a treat too for Miss Frances Dunning, Maryland Alpha. 1905. secre tary for Gamma Province, spent Friday also with u s and attended the glee club contest in Des M oines with the Pi Phis.

On May 3. at the home of Mrs. William Buxto n, Pi Beta Phi received all the Greeks in college in honor of the delegates t o the Province Convention of Delta Delta Delta, which was held here at that time.

We are p l anning to have our annual picnic during Week at which all alumnlle Pi Phi s are guests.

On commencement night, the chapter gives a garden party which is to be the ann ual party for the seniors. The entertainment for this is to consist, in the fairy scene from Mid ·summer Nights' Dream, the leading part oC which is to be taken by one of our pledges , Dorothy Storey .

As for our seniors, how we are going to miss them-three this year. each one of whom hal helped us in her own way.

Iowa Beta extends best wishes to aU, for a happy summer .

Everyone is anxiously awaiting the choosing of a new college president. Dean E. W. Stanton, has been acting president during the past year.

We ce lebrated Founders' Oay this year April 29. by a formal dancing party. It was • great luccell. The ball was decorated in yellow c hrysanth emums and smila.x. After the dance a three course luncheon was served at the hoase.

The college year is dosing fast, and we of Iowa Zeta can scarcely realiu that ocr good times together are soon to cease for tbe summe r months. Only

& Pi Phi who bas lived in the c hapter house can know what wholesome college {un and pleasure really att. Out outlook in the fan was dark, but DOW, no other sorority is more prosperous than are we. In the {.II we were seven, now our number is thirty ·four We have initiated thirteen splendid girls, and when the second semester ope ned four of our old girls were with us o n ce more. W e lose two seniors this year, one of whom, Louise Adams, wa s to Phi Beta Kap pa.

The last of April we gave a formal party which was very pretty indeed . It has not betn the custom here {or the sororitics to gi ve a noud formal parties, so we feel that we have gained much in giving one this spring.

High school commencement is over . According to Pan - Hellenic rules we can Do t rush the high school girh until they have been graduated. Each so rority may enlertain the girls twice before college co mmencement. We will have a dinner pa rty and a picnic s upper for them next week.

Rushing rules f or next fall are practically the same as they have this year. Rushing begins four days before college opens. Each sorority has an afternoon, an evening, and two mornings for parties. There will be ca lling on Sunday afternoon. Presidency in Pan-Hellenic comes to Pi Phi next year.

With the opening of college next fall we shall have a new president of the university, Mr J ohn Bowman, of the Carnegie Institute, a membe r of Sigma Chi fraternity and a graduate of Iowa. By fall, the completion of the new physics building is expected.

Iowa Zeta extends to every Pi Phi c hapter best wishes for a happy s ummer.

Helen 9ilgen had to drop out of college on acco unt of serious trouble with her eyes.

On Founders' Day in place of the annual banquet we had a l a rge reception for wives of the faculty members, girl s of other frat ernitie s , nnd a number of non-fraternity girls.

Pi Phi had the honor of having the May Queen thi s yea r . Fay Jarman wa s elected by a large majority. She then had the privilege o f choosing her maids and other atten da nts.

Each year at Wash ington we grow prouder of our beautiful college. Two additions ha ve been built to the engineering la boratory. and more arc being planted ove r the campus to take away the unew look" of trungs But even now, all the buildings are so draped with ivy that they seem quite old.

However, tbe {un is only "a longside ." In the so rority this year we have worked to keep the &e holarship u p to the best possible mark. Pan - Hellenic is discussing the plan of January initiation, and that only on co nditio n that the girl pledged maintain a ce rtain uerage {or tbe term. But this rule will n o t affect the fiYe week, pledge day whi c h h as been set as the limit of next year's rush,ng season. The frat ernitie s are also co n side ring a long pledge day.

We have done comparatively n o rushing since pledge day in January, but as most of the girls will be in th e city during the summer, we hope to make up for lost time.

Norma Drown, Illin ois B, has visited u s frequently and she may come to college Dext fall. We have also had the pleasure of meeting Miss Spu!cs, Missouri A, within the last few days.

By far the most important action taken by the student body tbis year, was passing tke honor system. The system a s drawn up is now in the hands of the faculty, for approval.

Our three seniors are graduated June 8, and while we are sorry to have them leave, we are sure that they are leaving the class room, only, and we expect to see • great deal of them next year.

Best wishes for a ltappy summer to all Pi Beta Phi s.

German. French, or Greek . Alter a very busy and successful wiDtH Newcomb bas at last settled down and is n ow prepared to endure a long and hot summer. There have been few ,haDgcs this year. The new departments of music and domestic science instituted las t year have steadily impro ved and grown and we are looking forward to the time when we may move into our new quarters where Newcomb will have lugu oppo rtunitie s {or developing and expanding

Several interesting changes in professorships are to be made. Professor White who has bet:n acting professor of history in the absence of the regul a r professor has been retained and is to offer a new co urse in American History. Th e professor of mathematics has been granted a leave o f absence for 1911 · 12 and Louisiana Alpha is very proud at having Viola Murphy, '06, in charge of that department.

The art school has rapidly advanced during the past Iession. Great progress h as been made especially in the metal work which was recently added t o the art cu rri culum, and Newcomb jewelry has already won a name for itself in New O rleans. Several art exhibitions have been held this year IlS well as e:I hibitions o f the domestic science and domestic art departments. We have now almost perfected the system of student government which was begun at Newcomb three years ago. The "S tu den t Council" orgsniz:ed as the judiciary body of the students has been firmly established. This system has proved most s uccessfu l and we Ilre looking forward to great things in the future.

Commencement this year was one of the most s u ccessful in every way that Newcomb has ever expe ri enced. The senior class play given on the evening of Friday, May 12 , was the first of the commencement events, and it proved ihelf more than worthy of that position. The play, "Sleeping Beauty" was given on the campus beneath two of the great oaks of which Newcomb is very proud. Lights s trung through the trees gave a picturesque and festive effect. The fairy tale had been cleverly dramatized and made into a kind of musical comedy. The dances by the fairies wearing airy, shimmer in g costumes added immeasurably to the effect, and the addition of calcium lights made it one of the most beautiful affairs ever given bere. Elise Urquhart, '11, as Malvolio and the fairy of the mist, and Frances Raymond, 'II, as the fairy of the mountain and Lady Priscilla, off the honors fo r Pi Pbi in the dances, while Catherine Rainey, 'II, as queen, and Francis Swartz as Sleeping Beautv showed marked dramatic ability in two of the leading rales. Carmelite Janvier, '11. acted as stage manager.

University night the la rgest and most brilliant feature of commencement week was held at night on the Newcomb campus. It was on tbe plan of an old Greek and the Greek idea was carried oat in the decorations. A temple stood in one corner of the grounds aro und the pillars of which were

entwined garlands of pink and white rotH. Behind this temple played. fountaia lighted with light s and on a space in front the Newcomb girls prescDted a series of VHY beautiful Greek dances. The boys of Tulane Uni.enity took part in a Greek play which proved a great success. The whole was lighted with electric lights covered with pink r oses , and scatte re d bere and there under the tree. were refreshment booth. caTTying o ut the Greek idea o f architecture and prettily decorated with pink and while ros es. The gymnasium and the hall WHC thr own open for dancing and the whole .ffair was ODe of unu s ual beauty. The final graduation exercises took place at the Tulane Thutre where 24 Newcomb graduates received the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

Athletics this year wcrc very successful. The us uat round of intercla., championship games in basketball gave the cup to the 1911 team o n which were three Pi Beta Phis . The tournament between the college and the alumnae gave the victory to the alumnae. One Pi Beta Phi was on each team, May Logan Monroe (Mrs. Blanc) for the alumnte and Lilia Kennard, '.2, for the 'varsity. The tournament was followed by a tea and refreshments were served to th e visitors. Tiny silver loving cups were presented to the members of the 'varsity teams of both tennis and basketball. Three Pi Beta. Phis received these; Lilia Kennard, 'n, for fennis, and Catherine Rainey, 'II, and Elise Urquhart, 'II, for basketball.

Besides tbis Pi Beta Phi bu held other honors this year Carmelite Janvier, '11, as well as winning Phi Beta Kappa and distinction was Editor-in-cbief of the Arcade for the year '10-'1 J and chai rman of the student council. Catherine Ra iney, 'II. received Phi Beta Kappa and distinction and was business manager of the Ttl/ane Weekly. Frances Raym ond. 'It, received distinction and was business manager of the A ,-cade and vice-president of the student body. Lilia Kennard. 'u, received tbe pri%e for tbe best metrical :translati on from French. German, or Latin, was secretary of the athletic usociation for '10-'11 and bas been elected vice-president of the student body .. d literary editor of the Arcllde for ' II -' n. Josephine Janvier, ' 12, has been elected vice -president of the senior class for '11-'n and held this year a number of minor offices as well as that of managu of the '.,usi ty basketball team. Alice Beauregard has been chosen as vice-president of the a rt schoo l for 'IJ4'12

Louisiana Alpha has held a number of social functions for the past year. Various infonnal parties were given during the year, wbile our Christmas party and our luncheon on Founders' DRY were memorable affairs. On the day of t he closing exercises of the college our alumnae gave to the active chapter a buffet luncheon The walls of the room were banked high with Bowen, the gift, to the graduates, while a table beautifully decorated and loaded with cakes and candies and other good things held the cente r of the of the room. The room was c rowded with Pi Phis and visitors, and general merriment went the rounds. Lois Janvier, '10. recently elected president of the alumnae club, made a speech sparkling with wit and humor, in which she presented each of the graduates with appropriate gifts and welcomed them

into the alumnae. Frances Raymond. ' II , re sponded thanking the alumnae in the name of th'c chapter and the graduates

Altogether we have ha d a most succellful winter and are look ing ahead to an even more prosperous onc next year if that is possible.

WaI, my SOD Jake, h e just co me h ome from co ll ege th is week and o f aU the high fallut'in things h e says and does. You have to have a reg'J a r edication t' understand what h e's spoutin' abo ut. Plain or dina r y grammer i s " lit." and school- marm s are "p ro f s " and all the boys bave some kind of H ind u o r Chinese name de plumb lik e "Beta's" or "Sick Alphs!' And the girls are loonier still. Jak e. h e's stu ck on a girl wh. (. a Pie Face or so melhin' nigh thet, but be says them Pie Faces are too much st uck u p (or him t' associate with. J es' the l&.me he jabbers from sun up to night abo ur their c hapter h ou se and foxy doin' •.

lnspite o' thei r l oonine ss, I guels tb et's a pretty flne school they've got up to Legislarure gave 'em 6opoo pl unk s more salary pe r, so Jake sayl , cause they were so tickled with 'em. Think 0' wasting all thet ca sh on schoolte ac h i ng' They got a stingy streak then, I reckon, and 's tead of giving 'em half-a -dot.en life sit.ed buildings th ey on ly give 'em eno ugh for two walls 0' one, or a w ing or somethi n' 0' the kind.

O ne thing kind er s ur p ri sed me , and th et is, co nsi de rin ' he went to acquisitate boo k lamin', ] ake spea ks mighty little about the teachers and a darn sigb t more about the ce le brations and pa rt ies. And f o r folk s thet buys as many books as Jake does they' ve got the least sense of any fo o l; I ever see. On Arbor-day they all stood ' r o und a poo r un o ffending stick a nd sang songs t o i t and made speeches and th en stuck it in the gro und nnd let the girl s s tart thr owin' in the dif"t And l as t w ee k they co mmen ced and d one m ore f ool things than I ever heam tell of. Mond ay n igM they give a play under the trees with co lo red lights and a ' Iec tri c fo untain - whatever rhat is-and dan d n ' and si n gin' and s peechifyin' and c alled it "Much Ado About N othing" an d I sh o uld say it was. And Tuesday they all dressed up in black pas te ooards, and marched around the c ampu s and said good -bye to the buildings jes' as if they'd r ea ll y enjoyed st udyi n' in ' em and the next day they fu ssed up the same wayan' got some shee pskins. Turrible waste of good wool I should say. But Jake, he must have l ost hi s wits up to thet unive rsity, 'ca use h e takes everything perfec tly calm like, jest a s if it had sense to it, and h e's that proud that the sch ool ha s never los t th e penance for making tracks, though h e's kind 0' sheepi sh about the baseball pe nu ce Said they lost it on the last game.

Somehow, don't seem as if they ever had class meetings or presidents or anything, J alee neve r says overly mu ch abo u t it. I reckon, ca u se he don't happen to be the pre sid ent. If it ain't thet its ca use he 's too busy talkin' of them everlastin' Pie Faces

And the Pie Faces went to a (eed with the Denver chap ter Founders' day-whatever in Sam Hill that i..- ; and the Pie Faces had a breakf.l r {or the seniors and gave them spoons; and the Pi Face juniors took the seniors t o the theater and give them a dinner afterwards, and a bunch of Denver Pie Faces helped them entertain high sc hool day, and so on and on, everl astingl, till I'd like to swat ther girl ont the!'. turned his head clean hind side to. He even tells me the new initiates an' boasts about "droppin in to see Ida Swayne' 930 Linco ln Place, your know," or stoppin' in at 183:1 16th St., Lora Argue's house. You'd thing he'd talk himselC out but he don't. Jes' a. you expect him to ron down he begio to spout about the rushing party the Pie Faces gave for Boulde: youogsters, or how swimmingly the alumnDSes is getting along with the house fund, or how much bener two hou se managers go thar. one.

By gummy I don't see how these cbaps learn so much to co llege.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

The co llege year 1910-11 with an unusually successful Senior W eek. The seniors attempted se veral innovations whi ch proved to be both s uccessf ul and enjoyable. To raise a part of the money for Comme n cement Week they held a uJolly-up" for all the university. It was very informal and the large crowd which attended spent a merry evening. Thursday of Senio r Week was "Carnival" day. In the morning there was a parade in which the different classes presented clever features and there were also many individual stu nts which were very amusing. That evening the "Row" presented a gay and lively appearance. It was lighted with J apanest l anterns. the different fraternity OOU5e5 served refreshments on the lawns, and four of the houses were thrown open (or dancing. Some people were costumed and masked llnd the re was both con(eUii and merriment. The class o( 191 I is to be co ngratulated on tbis success(ul innovation in the (estivities o( Senior Week.

One o( our seniors. Florence Metzner had a leading part in the class play. "The Amazons ." Isabel Noble was on the senior r eception committee.

Two new csursea whi ch were added to the university c urricula have proved to be very interesting and instructive. One was Dr. David Starr J orda n's course in the hi story of international arbitration. and the other a course in news writing was given by Mr. Everett W. Smith.

The under classmen of the fraternity gave a formal dance May 5. whic h was most successful. The decorations, baskets and wall pockets of pink roses. were artistic.

We are looking f o rward with a great deal of pleasure to our h o u se party which will be the first two weeks in July at Alamitos Bay. near Los Angeles. We are expecting to have a large party and hope that many of our alumna:: will be there with us.

California Alpha w as so glad to have her province president. Mrs. J . Wilson Currens with her for a sbort visit, in April. We were particularly hORored, to have h e r with u s for our Founders' Day banquet. We were also h appy to have our friends meet Mrs. Curre ns at an informal tea

The sopho mores of all the sororities had an enjoyable tally-ho ride and picnic suppe r on May 9.

California Alpha sends greetings to all o( the chapters and h opes that every Pi Phi will have a happy summer.

In athleti cs , we bave been most successful, winning the inter collegiate football, track meet, tennis match, chess contest, basketball, debate, and the Pacific coast intercollegiate track meet, but lost both the freshmen and intercollegiate boat ra cts.

This year we had three Pi Phi graduates, Elsie Ahrens, Juliet Bennett. and Georgie Dell McCoy Elsie Ahrens was on the Senior Assembly committee, the senior advisory committee, and the Senior Week committee. Georgie Dell McCoy was graduated with honors in history, is a member of the Prytaneans, the woman's honor society. was a member of the senior advisory editor of the CaJi/ornilJ Song Book, and manager of the Prytanean picture show.

In social activities the chapter has been quite alive too. We frequently entertain members of the faculty at dinner, and often receive the freshmen members of different men ' s fraternities in order that our freshmen may become better acquainted with the members of their own class.

During the latter part of the semester Mrs. Gertrude Fiu-Randolph Curren s, president of Delta Province. spent about ten days with us, at our chapter home. She is most ch arming and all of us fell in love with her. We feel that she made a thorough study of our chapter and understand. us. We not only enjoyed her visit in a social way, but know that she gave us good advice, which we shall try to follow. We all h ope that she may enjoy her work in Pi Phi and hope that she will visit us again.

On February 14. we gave a Valentine dan ce. The house was decorated with deep red dahlias and Itrings of r ed heart., while the refreshments were aU suggestive of the day. We had several favor dances and one chance dan ce. For the latter we allowed a number of balloons to rise in the dancinr room, each containing the name of some young lady. Then each young man caught a balloon and thlll obtained the name of his next partner. It was remarkable, how many of the young men accidently guessed the balloou containing the

On May 16, the active chapter gave a dinner in honor of ou r Pi Phi grad· uates. Each graduate was presented with a h amme red silver spoon, with her name engraved in the bowl and n B ell on the handle.

Every Thursday afternoon the active chap ter gives a rea for the alumnae and friends. At these teas we have invited rushees and believe it to be q uite successful. On account of l ocal Pan -Hellenic , we have not been able to do a great deal of ru shing this season, but all the girls have worked together and endeavored to do all they could The memben of the chapter ate most congenial, and at the end of the semester, all of UI decided we had spen t. most enjoyabl e yur together in our fraternity life.

592 THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

It hardly possible that another college year has passed yet here we aTC once morc on the threshold of a l ong summer vacation. This year at the University of Wasbington has been most successful in every respect. Our student body numbers 2AI3 men and women. a decided increase in attendance ove r last year.

The state was very liberal in its appropriation this year, and already the rem odeling of the old buildings and some construc ti on work has been begun. Our campus is a veritable garden at this season of the year and our wish is that all our sister chapters might see it.

In atbletics this year we again came out victorious. First. in the fall, we gathered in the Northwest football c hampionship. Since th en, in quick succession we have gained the first honors in basketball, debate, baseball and crew. We are still talking about our Regatta Day of May 2:5 when the Univenity of California 'varsity crew and the freshman crew came to meet our 'vanity and our freshmen crew on Lake Washington The day was ideal for the contest and thousands gathered on the lake shore and on different water craft to witness what proved to be the prettiest races ever rowed on Wa shington waters. W ashington came out victorious in both contests.

During April and May we obse r ved many traditions of the college The first was the County Fair given in the gymnasium by the women's league of the uni versity. Bertha Bigelow was chairman of the committee and of course .11 the chapter was interested in making the affair a success.

The fair consisted of exhibits of all the departments in the university, a high class vaudeville, a moving picture show, side shows including "Polly of the Ci rcus," a lie:htning carlooDilt , and many others. Besides these, there were the c us to mary booths repr esenting different nations where refre shment s were served , as well as so u veni r books and a miniature dancing pavilion It was all a decided success both from the spectator's point of view and in a financial way.

The week following came Camp u s Day. Everyone turned out with a will and by evening the ca.mpus was in perfect order. At noon luncheon was se r ved t o all at the girls' do rm itory and a sho rt programme was ren de red. As a fitting end to the day an informal dance was given in the gymnasium.

Then o ur banquet! It was such a success and 10 many of our girls c&me back for i t. We were 10 very happy to have one of the founders of o ur frater· oity with us, Ina Smith-Soule . We also discove red among those present a famous quartette of Pi Phis, Mrs. Sowe, a founder, Mrs. A. D. Small, (Rainie Adamson) the first president of national Pi Phi, Roberta G. Frye, former presi· dent of Delta Province, and Imogen Cunningham , the fraternity's European fellow in 1909-tO. The following were the toasts : Edith Ball Macbride, '08, Iowa Z, toast mistress.

Immediately following all this gaiety, Mrs. Gertrude Currens came to visit us. We enjoyed every moment of h e r s lay and we h ope she will come vtry olten. Perhaps the most enjoyable feature of her visit was the cooky shine given at the chapter ' house. Roberta Frye enterlaiaed the aJumnae club lor Mrs. Currens. From here she lelt fo r Pullman to investigate a group petitioning Pi Phi.

Early in May came the annual junior play, "The ButterRies ." Vera Bonsall, '12, took the leading part and Fannie Charles, 'n, had the next important rate.

The dramatic cluh of the university presented "The Servant in the House ." Lita Burch as Mary was a decided so ccen . The play was a s uccess and we were very proud of our girls

May 13 the chapter gave a formal dancing party at the house. The color scheme was ca rried out in yellow daisies and green s. The programmes were of brown leather with tiny brass escutcheons bearing the Greek letten.

We are now looking forward to commencement on June 14. Ruth Mowrey, and Bertha Bigelow are to be graduated, Ruth Mowrey is to give a piano 5010 on class day and Bertha Bigelow is on the committee for Week.

W e sincerely wish that all th e Pi Phi's may have a splendid vacation and that we m ay be able to meet some of you nut year.

What should the chapter l ibrary con tain? First of all, bound volumes of the Crescent up-to-da te together ",ith a c hapter hi sto ry whi ch may be kept either in typewritten or printed f orm from year to year. A s reference books they a re invaluable. Besides this they are entertsining to every Gamma Phi Beta who pi c ks them up. There is n othing like keeping chronicles fre sh in mind if one desires to remain imbued with the true spi rit of sisterhood. After these books, may be added any whi ch are fitted for a Gamma Phi Beta lihrary. Certain books of gen e ral college interest, tTavel s, and good novels all have their place . Poetry should not be forgott e n.

A good way to c reate a library is to make the rule that every member of the chapter shall contribute at l eas t one book before s he leaves college. This in s ures a steady growth . The alumnre may give as generously as they wi sh to the active c hapters and no one will c ry out in protest A new book should be heralded with as much joy as a new picture of a bit of s ilv e r. N ot until the c hapte r library is a thing desired and loved will it ever have a vital place or become a rival of the c hafing-dish f o r interest.

It sh o ul d be a rule that no girl shall contribute a book which she has not read and f ound of value The library may gain greatly in interest if each book has upon the fly -leaf some written comment by the giver, telling how she happen ed to read the book, why she likes it and what she thinks of it. These are the things whi c h keep the active chap ter from forgetting those who have gone before them. If any member of the chapter is skilled in arts and crafts, let her bring a hand ·tooled book as her offering. She might also design the necessary book-plate.

If any Gamma Phi Beta writes a book wOrlh while it should be a matter of pride for eve ry chapter to include the book in its library.

The ear ly part of the work has been to obtai n at least once in two years from all institutions whe re we have chap t ers, the report of the standings made. grades of all members To simplify the work, blank (orm s arc printed and sent to chapters. each Jec retary supp l ying names o f members, and passi ng the forms to the R egis t'rar with th e r eq u es t that the grade marks be s u pp lied and form s be then forwarded di r ect ly t o th e national co mmi ttee.

The undergraduate hallucination which assumes an "entire ab6ence of any connection between examination grade. and post-collegiate success," receive. another blow in the result of & recent inve stigation at Harvard upon new line. The criterion of success hitherto employed, namely, the appearance of a name in " \Vho's Who in Ameriea.," has been widely objected to, and, accordingly, a new standard has been taken for the latest comparison. As related in a recent number of Sde,ue, the class of 1894 at Harvard was seleeted for analysi . . Three men, one of whom was Dean Briggs, were asked to select from this dass the names of those men who, during their fifteen years since graduation . had achieved distinct success, each judge determining for himself his definition of that term . Twenty -three members of the class were se1eet ed as deserving of this recognition by at leas t two of the three judges The college records of these men were then compa red with those of twenty-th ree of their classmate. chosen at random, and it was found that there were between three and four time s as many "A's" among the former as among the latter, the exact figures being J<}6 and 56. This will be a hard saying fo r the students who are so sure that it is always the low -grade "good fe llow ." that become sp«dily eminent.-TAe Eve"i", Post (N. Y .)

We never could under stand why brains which were displayed during a college career would not manifelt themselve s in after life. We think, however, that the undergraduate point of view is not always comp rehended When the student sayl that the man who takes high grades in college doci not u.ually succeed in after life, he has in mind the man who devotes himself to books to the exclusion of everything else. Such men frequently burn out. as it were, while very young.-B e u .

The A T 0 Congress took an advanced stand upon severa l ques· tions . It was decided to request the faculties of each institution at wh ich A T 0 is represented by an active chapter to adopt a rule forbidding the initiation of freshmen by any fraternity until they shall have satisfactorily completed their first semeste r' s work.. This action is based upon the desire to secure men into the fraternity who are

most like ly to remain with it for four years and to further raise the educationa l standard of A T n . Of course, the adoption of such regulations by A T 0 and by few o r none of its sister fraternities would injure the fraternity, and for that reason the co-operati on of all co ll ege authorities is most ardently sough t.

The use of the maltese cr oss is now restricted to the official badge of the fraternity. This is in line with similar action by othe r fraternities and, henceforth, the maltese cross cannot be used on stick pins, watch fobs, ring s, shields, stationery, e t c. Of course, the coatof-arms, the banner, the mon ogram, or the letters lOA T 0" may still be used upon such articles.

Action was taken for the compiling of a Dew and enlarged song book. A song book committee is to be appointed and directed to r eport its progress to the next Congress. The Worthy Grand Keeper of Annals was instru cted to publish a new pocket directory and this project is now under way.

There is one fraternity in the United States which very early in its careerwhich has been a long one-adopted the principle of always admitting to membership & son, a brother, or a grandson of a former member whether of the chapter located at the particular college where the new student is sought or not. We admire th is custo m. It shows a most admirable re liance upon the standard of membership of its former members and a breadth of fraternal senti ment which is Quite rare. Person. in this fraternity who are well acQuainted with its membership inform us that in possibly eight instances out of two hundred this custom has resulted in disaster and the admission of persons who were eithe r wholly uncongenial to the chapters to which they were admitted, or entirely unfit fo r membership in fraternit,.-B e D

The great effort of Pan-Hellenism has been to eliminate jealousy and in feeling berween rival chapters by reducing its caues-j. e. the rashinr erill, But that is just where the miltake has been made. Emphasis has been laid u pon the very points that breed h Oltility, whereas little effort bas been made to attain united action in those matters of mutual interest where united work on the part of rival chapters would briog out the best instead of the worst in each. Every chapter of every fraternity has itl fine strong members, ud if the vexing Questions of rushing are pu t aside early in the year, and our rival Greeks pull all together for those things of interest to the whole college and in which there are no rival interests, then they will appreciate each other's final points, bu.t they never will do that as l ong u the thought most irritating of all kept continually in the foreground.

wu carried too far when the alumnus was rtlieved oC hi. duel and hi. duties to tbe fraternity just as he was relieved of the burden of attending classes at college. The {rat-old cry of di.interclt'ed alumni might never have been heard bad not the alumnus been cast aside as useless, stripped of authority and released from work, turned out to do as he pleased for the rest of his days, just at the time when he might begin to be of most se rv ice. This mistake lies close to the root of all college iraternity troubles and it mu s t be dug up and corrected at the ne:a:t convention Every year nnds us with more and more alumni and every year finds t'hese alumni with more and morc wealth and power to aid the fraternity, yet every year doing less and l ess for it. Who composes the fraternity, anyhow? Is the fraternity made up of the active members. or the alumni, or both? Sometimes we falk of' sec uring the interest and aid of the alumnus much as if he were asked 10 give his assistance to someone else, o r to .ome order to which he was now a strange r and in which his rights were dormant and of Ihe past.

]( it was a mistake to c ur Brother Alumntll adrift alike from the troubles and pl easures o f fraternity membership, it is high time now that he was lash ed firmly and finally 10 (lnd Diamond 0/ Phi Kappa Alpha, quoted by B e II .

A discussion of the rushing Question has found its way into the realm s of fiction, in the guise of a short siory entitled "The Greek Double Cross, 01'"

Sorting out the Smiths at Shush," by George Fitch, published in the 3a./U,tl4Y Eve"i"K Post of March fourth The sto ry sets forlh in racy {ashion, the joys and tbe excitement experienced in 3. ru s hing season when the j'sport" is qllite unlr&mmeUed by the rulings of any meddling Pan - Hellenic Council. and when E,. Bita Pis, Alfalfa Delts , and Chi Vi s are pitted in rivalry.

Rushing as most of us know it has no attractions for the Era Bita Pi who teUs the story. He is quite certain that if h e were t o r e·vi si l Siwash under Ihe present regime he w ould be "run up before a Pan - Hellenic Council in li hort order, charged with giving more than two fingers to a freshman in s haking hands wirh rum." Here iii his definition of ru shing as he knew it in the good old days:

Rushing? What's rushing? Oh, yes; I forg o t that you never participated in that delicioui form of insanity known as a fall term in college. Ru shing is • cross between proposin, to a girl and abducting a coyote a man for the frat is trying to m ake him believe that to belong to it is a joy and i nspiration, and to belong to any othe r me1l.ns misery and an ea rly tomb; that all the best men in college either belong to your frat or co uldn ' t gel in; rhat you're the liItst fellows on earth, and that you're c razy t o hav e him, and that he is a coming senaror i that you can't live with o ut hinl i th at the other gang can't appreciate him; that you never ask men twice; that you don't ca re much for him anyway. and that you are just as likely RS not to withdraw Ihe spike any minute if you should hap pen fo get tired of the cut of his trou sers; that your crowd can make him class president and the othe r c r o wds ca n make him fine mausoleums; that yOU love him like real brothers and that h e h "s already bo und himself in honor to that if he doesn't he will regret it all h is life i and, besides, you will punch hi s head if he does n't put on the colors. That's rushing for you.-Quoted in the K ey.

And so mu s t Alpha C hi!

l<Gamma Phi must be nice to everybody." Do n ot make the mistake of believing that your own small group contains all the friends worth h aving; do not become 50 seifo(:enlered Ihat you lose rhe bronder c ulttlre that comes from ou t side assoc iations and friendships. Give to your soro r ity th e best that in you lie s i work your harde s t for th e girl 111al will bring honor to your chapter i but remember that Gamma Phi Bda's true strength a.nd beauty. and your own w omanliness and worth will be proved by your attitude toward

And so must Pi Phi .

A s the life and growth of th e frat e rnity depends t o a large extent on the c hairman of the rushing committee, s he ca nn ot be Coo carefull y c h ose n . She s hould be an uppercla ss man preferably, and one who h as see n something of the W'aTld i s h e should be It girl of boundless frate rnity enthus iasm and att ractive personality; s he s h o ul d a broad view of life and a keen insight i nto human characte r and motives.

Occuionally the d uti es of the chairman a re not well defined, and so, to p r event misunderstanding, why should it not be • good plan to bave a policy.a definite worka bl e policy each year, written down in blac k and white , so that all the chapter might kn ow what i s to be done. In most o f our l a rge universities wh ere fre s hman pledging is s till in force. a policy so mething like the f oll owing might be adopted:
