The University of Chicago is in many ways an ideal place fo r both undergraduate and graduate work. It offers all the advantages of a great city which is itself a very complex and interesting sub j e c t of study As a recent bulletin says: u 1n Chicago, for instance, in addition to the great libraries, museums, and art galleries, there a r e lines of business which have been developed to great magnitude and high standard of efficiency . Students can VISIt, for instance, the Illin ois Steel W orks and the great shipbuilding plants in South Chicago, the packing houses of the lJ ni o n Stockyards, th e modern office buildings with their sub -basements
seve ral stories below the street, and the great subway beneath tht! downtown district' of Chicago. Here i n Ch icago the problem of ca'pita l and labor is most advanced and engrossi ng . Here likewi se the process of making Americans out of a cos mo politan heterogeneous

Th e loca ti on of the univ e r si ty is a no th er alt ra ction . Jt is abo ut six mil es sout h 6£ the cente r of Chicago, a nd its g ro unds li e o n both, sides o f th e Midway Plaisan ce between Wa shington and Ja ckson pa rk s. Lake M ichigan is within walking dist a n ce, so that one weary of buildings and books can find rec reation and inspir ation quickly and easil y.
'The Universi t y of Chicago was incorporated ill 1890. Among the n ames of t he inco rpo rato r s are those of J ohn D Rockefeller and Marsha ll Field. Mr . R ockefelle r , who is ca ll ed th e founder, has co ntributed almost $35 ,000,000, while C hi cagoa ns have given the money for man y of th e buildings and th ei r eqUipment. The first president was Will iam Rainey Harper , who se rved until hi s d ea th in ] 906, when l-[arry P r att Jud son was e l ecte d. Th e g ro wth of the univers it y has been rapid. ' fh e orga nization includes the Gradua te School of Arts and Literature ; th e Ogde n G r ad uat e Sc hool of Scien ce; th e Colleges (se nior, last two years, and junior, first two years) o f Arts , Lit erature, and Science; the Divinity School, the , Law School, Co urses in Medicine, the School o f Education, and the School of Com m erce and Administrati on Th e fa c ult y exclusive of assistance, numbers 318; the li brari es co nt ai n 517,936 volumes and 200,000 pamph l e ts.

This building which was dedicated in Jun e, 19 16 , is conceded to be th e m ost beauti ful building' of its kind in any Amer ica n university, so it deserves special mention. The buildin g o r group o f buildings is more domestic in feeling th an so me o f th e f o rmal English Gothic bui ldin gs of the university and gives the e ffect of a . larg e Tud or
house. The main entrance opens into a large main hall. To th e right is the refectory which will seat 300 persons . O n the ceiling beams are stucco decorations and can"cd figures surmount the wall pane ls. To the left is the common room and back of this the libra r y with its large fi r eplace.

Everything about the building is so perfect that many strangers ca nnot realize that all this is free to every woman. in the university. Of course there are gymnasium fees and meals are not given away, but there is no fee for membership. It is impossible to describe the effect of the whole, every detail has been planned with such infinite care and such love of beauty. No better memorial cou ld be erected than that which every day gives pleasure to hundreds of students.
The university year is divided into quarters, the autumn. (Octobe r, NQvember, and December ); the winter (January, Febru;ry, March) ; the spring ( April, May , to th e middle of June ) ; the summer (f rom the middle of June, July, August). " Students are admitted at the qpeJ?ing o( each gra_duatioft; jexerciscs, called Convocation, are held at tPe close ot\:·it.ch quarter :\!I During 1916-1 i , during four ,h quarters, 10,448 studenfs jn residence. There are five halls of residence uut studernts are obliged to live in ,Private homes as tihe accommodation"s l'are not sufficient to meet the demand.
At present professors and students are returning from war work .' both at home and abroad. Another quotation illustrates the connection between such service and co llege o r uni 'f' ersity work. uTn geography, in economics, in political science, in the applied :sciences, even in subjects of seemingly less utility , people have learned to see that there may be genuine service. Before the war nothing seemed more remote from Ufe than seventeenth ce ntury ciphers: yet the expert in this field, head of the English Department of this institution, was promptly called to the War Department at \Yashington to organize, chiefly from among his students, a great staff of workers. There was a time when people laugh ed at the inutility of dropping sealed bottles at different spots in the North Sea and reco rding the place where the bottles wer e later picked up; but exactly these facts gave to the British Admiralty knowledge which enabled it to lay m:nes
and to chart exactly the drift of these mines. Even the higher mathematics, boastful at times of its uselessne&, found a place in war service. The very words, "propaganda" and "morale" suggest the power which all citizens have come to r ecognize as that of philosophy, theology, ilnd literature. J n war every field of knowledge has been c.."\l1ed upon to serve j every field of knowledge will be even more important in satisfying the new demand'i of peace."
111 July, 1918, Mr. La Verne Noyes estal>lished "the La Verne Noyes Foundation" by deeding to the university property valued at $2,500,000, one-fifth of the income from which may be used for teaching American history or the public duties of citizenship. The remainder must be used for the payment of tuition of deo::ervin!! students who shall themselves have served in the war, or who shall be descendants by blood of anyone in service i 11 the army Or navy of the, United States in this war.
An article brief as this cannot do justice to such an institution, one must share in its life to appreciate all that it offers. On May 5, 19 J 7,M. Rene Viviani, in an nddress at the University of Chicago thus spoke of the ideals of a university: liThe duty of a university is not only to form the minds of young men, to diffuse science, to make writers, scientists, physicians, 3nd lawyers, to ennoble men to teach in their turn or to earn an honorable living in their profession. That is part of its duty. but it would not be true to its real mission, and its duty toward mankind, if at the same time as it forms scientists it did not form men It would not be true to its duty if at the same time ns it elevates the mind it did not elevate the SOtH."

The natural COurse of events was for her to be thoroughly introduced into the waY3 and means of managing teasince five Pi Phis are helping me do this in the leading department store in Columbus. On leaving, Mrs. Rugg asked me to write this article for THE ARROW, giving some th ough ts on tea-room work as a business for women.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
think of tea ... rOom work, but do not know if they are fitted to make it a success. I believe there are three qualities necessary: First, a thorough knowledge of cookery; second, o rganization ability; and third, business ability-and one ca nnot do without anyone of the three and be successful.
Good food must be the first requisite of success. The finished produ tby which you are judged a success is food well cooked and well served. 1 believe o ne must have a knowledge, herself, to get the best results from her organization. When the people under you know that you know, it wins their respec t in the beginning and puts that respect on a firm foundation.
I am asked so often if it is necessary for a person to h(\ve a domestic science training to be success ful. Of course. it naturally would be the preparation for this work, but I have seen equally successful results with girls who have taken regular college co urses and have learned the ni ce ways of doing things at home in the kit c hen with HMother," and practiced it on "father and the boys."
The o rganiz..1.ti o n ability is equally necessary An efficient organiza· tion is es:;cntial to success. To be efficient, assistants must be we ll chosen. I try never to engage people who have worked in public kitchens for we want our ica-room to have the atmosphere of the "ideal home life" as far as food and service c<!n make it.
The tea -room manager should demand eve rything from her o r ganization and yet always deal justly. We have an organization of 1 10 people and during the scarcity of help, ' we did not have any trouble keeping them. This is the secret: They are well paid and we demand the best that is in them in return. When anything like differences arise between them in their work, they do not decide the issue but know justice will be given by the onc ' in authority, and after all, Bo lshevism is really the result of injusti ce dealt out by those who have the power at the moment to deal.
To be able to deal out justice is the result of being able to put one', self in the place of the other fellow , i. e., do as you would be done by. If you can do this you have organization ability.
I feel we have a happy organization. \Ve demand much fr om them and the fellow who can' t usmile with his work" does not feel at home with \IS. This contact with my people makes my work a rca pleasure.
The third is business ability. One who manag the tea · room buys and sells products as any othe r business person does. Food is like any other produ<;,t. If yon buy it, you sell it.
That which gOt$ into the garbage can or thousands of other places does not put money into the cash register. 'rile chicken that you scrape the bone Cor costs juSt as much per pound as the breast and must be sold.
So many girls starting out in tea.-room work are afraid of the buying end, and I always smile at this. Consider quality and then price in buying, but let the big thing to be considered be to sell on the right cost basis every ounce you buy.
Business life is full and interesting and no part of it is morc inte resting than tea-room work for the college girl. [think perhaps the reason for this is that she follows out many features that are her instincts in home- making.
I believe women are to take men's places in this vocalion, as we must admit man has made an utter failure in it, and why shouldn't women be more successful? They have the natural born assets that man has not. ft is up to the domestic science student to put this field for women on a higher basis. The big business men of today realize this too, and the calls from them are many.
Perhaps you who rt:ad this article would be interested in hearing ahout the Pi Beta Phis who were assisting me here in this work. Edith Updeg r aff, Kansas B, has charge of the caft:teria that seTves as high as iOO each day. Dorothy Aust, Ohio D, has charge of the balcony tea-room wheTe over 500 are served each day. 'Nellie Winkler, Ohio H, is my very apabJe assistant on the fifth floor where the main tea-Toom is that seats over 400 people at one time. S h e assumes a ll the responsibility when T am away and her duties a r e many and responsible always. flelen Laughlin, Ohio H, is ou r charming hostess at the noon hour and plans luncheons and tea parties. Julia Simpson, Ohio 8, inspt'Cts all trays of food that go to the tea-room from the kitchen and if the lettuce is not crisp as can be her instinct tells her without even looking at the lettu ce.

faces many diffi cult and Dew problems and at the same time, many o ld problems from a new point of view. I have been sent here to tell the clear-eyed, intelligent women that the go,oemment needs their influence and help in order to solve some of these problems. I do not expect, for one moment, that the women of Portsmouth will shrink from any condition that bears directly upon the well-being of tbeir community. They will not be afraid, nor will they fail to meet any peril lhat endangl!Ts the life, the health, and happiness of the horne and the children of the home.
The Selective Conscription Act of April 28, 1917, was, perhaps, one of the most remarkable ever passed by Congress. This law brought definite service and sacrifice to e"ery man, woman, and child, and thus all American forces were aligned our enemies overst:as, and against our enemies within our gates.
When the statement was sent broadcast that the greatest drain on our fighting power was caused by preventable diseases, this statement confirmed by statistics caused a wide-spread alarm. You recall, at that time, that the President, Congress, the Secretary of \Var, the Surgeons-General of Army and Navy, the Public Health Service, the Medical Board , federal and state officials, and civilians joined in the common cause with the determination to wipe out these diseasesdiseases which disqualified thousands of our soldiers, made men and women unfit for lives of service, and . which, notwithstanding the grim determination, continue insidiously to attack our mcn and boys, our women and girls, to fill our divorce courts, to bring misery into countless American humes, and to produce more dangerous results than German propaganda, pacifism, or Bolshevism.
These diseases are traced back of the five-mile zone directly to the civilian centers. Up to the present we have had no records to compare with army records. \Var taught civilians to recognize the danger, and the compulsory service system gave us statistics. Medical examinations revealed the startling fact that "five men came into the army with the disease to everyone who contracted it in th«; army." Experience has proved that the army guards and protects the soldiers within the army, but on the other hand, the army is not protected from the civifi::lIl population j furthermore, the federal law cannot dominate the civil law, and, for this reason, the coOperation of civilian authorities is earnestly sought by the government.

handicaps. Every avenue of industry is open to our girls and from homes all over the country they are pouring forth as wage·eamers. \Ve have given them the freedom of the city, town, and of the stre«its. This very freedom demands that knowledge, virtue , and modesty replace prudery and ignorance.
How can it be done? By education, more education, and still more education.
Girls of ten, twelve, and fourteen years of age should be familiar witl) Nature's plan of life. The story of life, the growth of the Rower, bee. and butterAy should be the story of her life also. When a growing, vigorous girl learn" of reproduction (rom the girls of unclean mind and of unmoral standards, or from the c;hance acquain· tance of the street or of the her mother has failed of her responsibility. The first test and the first of a parent, mother or father, comes when the child of seven i.!! and the girl of thirteen hesitates to question because she believes that her mother will not understand her question.
The gi rl problem of today can be solved in one way only and that way is found in the normal development of her mind and body, expressed in good health training, and in the discipline of a clean, wholesome attitude toward life. 'rhis trainjng and discipline will familiarize her with life processes, and she will know vital facts, viz., "that life comes from life; that only things that live have the power to produce other living things; that each kind of living thing pro· duces only its own kind; that sex is Nature's plan to sta rt new life, ana that sex is the big basic principle of life." You know that man has a double standard of morals, and this double standard . has created a separate and dominating force for evil. Nature's s.ta.n · dard gives to every child the right to be physically well born, physica lly well mated, and to girls adds the supreme right of maternity. The failure on the part of man to meet this simple, standard has thrust his failure back upon himself , and today the sins of the father are visited upon hi'i innocent chi ldren . We pay a dear price for our ancestors, but the important thing before us is the to the question, how much must our children and our chi ldren's ehB· dren pay for us.

'rhe government, in its battle against alcoholism and prostitution, has kept the oath given to the mothers of America, IIthat as far as care and vigilance can accomplish the result , the ooys committed to its cha rge will be returned to their homes and the communities that so generously gave them, with no scars except those received in honorable battle." This oath represents the first line of defense; the seco nd line of defense is directly under civilian control. The civilian populations have pledged no oath , but the defense line is being strengthened in the administration of civic laws, recognizing the fact that often a bad administration of a law has been the cause of a good law being made in efficient. It is strengthened also by the appoint.nlent of protective .and probation officers, health officers, detention houses, juvenile cou rt s, state reformatories, and in the effort of r ehabilitation. You know of the success or failure along these lines in your own city, and perhaps, better than r, realize how g rave is the menace in your midst with "probably SO per cent of these women of weak wi11s and of low ideals, or subnormal mentally, many of them feeble-minded and at least 90 per cent of them infected.';

Theories then must go down before the facts of science and of the microscope; and civilian statistics will compare favorably with army statistics when the stale gives an oath to th e mothers of the state similar to the oath given by the govern· ment to the mothers of America.
OUR WAR AND RECONSTRYCTION WORK
Because the (;rand Council felt that, during the first stages of the war, result s co uld be more satisfactorily achieved by working through mediums already established for relief in accordance with the poliFY of the Association of Collegiate Alumna:, no attempt to promote 3Qy' so rt of distincth'e war work as a national .fraternity was made until after the Charlevoix convention Every effort was made, however, t o encourage and to develop the spirit of service which, even before our own coun try entered the war, was manifested by th e chapte rs of Pi Bt:la Phi.
Working through the Red C ross, the Y. M. C. A., various societies for the care of French orphans, and every otber recognized Qrg;Hliz3li on for war reli e f , our acti\'c chapters have made a recoql of of which the fraternity is very proud.

Money given hy · undergraduate students almost witho.ut exception, Sc1crifice greater the giving of an C<l ual amount .a few . years la ter would ento.i l-a fact which makes the reports from our , c;hapters unusually ... sigl\ilica nt. During the college of 1917 - 18 fully $10,000 were given by t1;em toward war relief. TI,irty-one chap ters the only ones for which statistics are available, gav,e more $6,663 to the Y. M . C.

At the Charlevoix convention because of the unanimous opinion expressed in favor of a distinctive fraternity war undertaking, 3 War Fund Committee was appointed and a War Work Committee to decide how the funds collected should be expended_ As an · nounced in previous issues "of THE ARROW , the signing of the armistice interrupted the program of the War Work Committee. The fund collected during the current college year has been only partially expended to date and so long as it lasts will be available for aid for French students. Details of this work may be found on page 565 1
We have now entered upon the period of reconstruc tion which in many ways presents opportunities for unusual service. Pi Beta Phi finds herself exceptionally equipped to meet one of these oppbrtunities-to aid in the abolition of illiteracy in our own country. From the chaos of the war, two astounding facts have emerged to face us as a nation-first the imperative need for fundamental physiC31 knowledge in order to preserve our national health from the dangers , which threaten us, and second, the appalling truth that there are today within OUT borders 5,500, 000 men, women, and children of school age who cannot read or \o,'rite . The remedy for the first need is dependent upon the remedy for the second. The states including the Appalachian range within their limits the largest total of native-born illiterates and of these, Tennessee , the home of one Pi Beta Phi Settlement School , is one_
When our school was founded, seven years ago, its purpose was to erect a living memorial to our Founders by rendering service to a pnll'lltlve community. Its purpose now has been extended to meet a national need. Its mission will not be ended until illiteracy has disappeared from the coullty jn which it is located and the customs and regulations insuring physical fitness among the inhabitants have been firmly established .

pledged to local and co unty a uthorities and the scope of its work will be enlarged .
There will be no further calls for contributions to the WarFundi and due notice will be given of the amount collected in the October ARROW. From now , henceforth, the entire membership of Pi Beta Phi will be called upon to rally to the increased support of a larger ettlement School as the fraternity ' s definite contribution to the recon· struction forces of our country. Henceforth it becomes a patrio/i, l'uly as well as a fraternity to support it.
AID FOR FRENCH STUDENTS
In Fran ce there are twice as mmo)' women students now enrolled as there were before the war Many of them would be glad to siudy in America. This year five well -trained women , two (rom the Sorbonne, and three (rom the University of Bordeaux have come to Bryn Mawr on scholarships. Young French women who come to us to pursue their studies need our scholarships. In the light of what I learned in France I venture the suggestion that women's colleges at once make ready to solve this problem. Alumnre and faculty committees should be organized. There should be oubide committees of representative women in every ci ty driving to secure financial aid for our new kin who come to study with U 5 and to assure to them the cultivated social life to· which French women are accustomed.
The above paragraph appeared in The Ret ,jew of Rroiews in No\ ember, 1917. Whether it furnished the original incentive for the scheme to bring French girl students to this country according to the plan which took shape a few months later is immaterial. The fact remains that such a plan was proposed and accompHsheCl by the American Council of Education and September , ]918, found 128 young French women landing on our shores to be educated in American universities and col1eges.
The plan of bringing these French visiting students to our country was a large plan and the details were not worked out in All institutions receiving them promised to provide them with bo,rd, room, remitting of tuition, and college fees , and support during va,cations. In some institutions the students live in the college dorrrytories, fees for tuition and living expenses being remitted by the college authorities. In others, homes have been provided af I ,be result of the efforts of individuals or local organizations.
They are very comfortably housed and are enfoying a delightful home life in the finest surroundings; but there are incidental ex-

penses which must be met and which are not provided for by this ar· rangemcnt or by the arranganent made at institutiol,S where French visiting students reside in college dormitories. Textbooks must be i:loug1lt, gymhasium suits are needed, swimming suits are indispensable for ' the ' fullest use of the gymnasium , noonday luncheons on the cart\iius must be paid for, carfare and clothing are legitimate expenses. In some ' institutions a few interested people have assumed personal' rc"spbnsibility for' these items until money can be "procured for the payment of bills, but in many cases the I'Tench visiting students have been much embarrassed by la c k of funds for such incidenta Is.
Realizing this fact, the Fren c h government last January began sending ea'Ch' one of these students an allowan c e of $21 a month, but coliege autliorities have' recognized that this sum is scarcely adequate even whe;e boara is fu'rnished free (which is not the universal case), and Jhere is great need of an auxi1iary fund to help pay board in some cases and to help in the matter of clothing. that it is far- better that the meeting of suc h incidental expenses · sHould be' met by something so impersonal as a national Clrganiz'ation rather th'an as a personal charity of individuals, Grand Council has sanctioned the proposition that our 'Var Fund shall be used to help these French visiting students,
, ·As matters stand now the scholarships in most institutions are to be oontinued for three more years whetJ)er the present incumbents remain oT•. whether new students are sent to take places. Inmost casesr special arrangements must be made for vacations.

(The following description of the surroundings of Base liospita l No. 71 in France arrived too Iale (or use in the March ARROW. Lack of space has made it neccI5ary to cut the original manuscript :lnd publish it in nn abridged form.)
Few of us will ever forget O Uf first impressions of this base hospital, formerly known to the French as the "Chartreuse of Vauclaire." \Ve were told that we were coming to I\ionpont, about sixty miles east of Bordeaux, to relieve a unit which had heen in France a year, and that we would l>e stationed i n a monastery. A fter an all-day trip on the train, we arrived about nine 1',M. at the small station of l\fonpont. A r ide in ambulances of two miles or so, through a small Fren ch village, th en along a ribbon -like road with trees and fields on either side, several turns, a r ow of dark evergreens, then we passed beneath a gateway and stopped at th e front door of the monastery. Never shall we forget the warm welcome extended to us by the original unit; they co ntributed very largely to our happy first impressions. We were taken along a co rrid or, then up a few steps to the dining-room. It must have been the monks' refecto ry, or possibly a chap'el , but the long room with its r ounded ce iling, stone floor, and three long tables with rOws of nurses in dark blue uniforms and hats, illld, above all, the dim light of several eight or sixteen candle power bulbs high up in the ceiling, supplemented by several cand les On the table, made us almost picture the old monks scated there.
\Ve were told that since the Nurses' H ome (a four-story modern building near the monastery) was full , some of us would have to be quartered in the umonks' cells," and forthwith a volunteer showed us the way. Along another corridor we went, then eme r ged on an open square with high -arched cloisters around the four sides, and small houses opening off the cloisters on the right. These latter were called the "monks' cells." Bright moonlight was streaming down on the three small buildings in the square, the first one [operating r oo m1 with tall cypress trees in front ; at th e farther end fantasti cally shaped frujt trees ; here and th e re ivy climbing up the white arches of the cloisters. The whole scene was picturesque in the extreme.
'Each IImonks' cell" contained three rooms, the fir s t one having a firepla ce, then , at the end of a lo ng passageway a door opening on ,

a small garden, enclosed, and separated from the others by a hi gh stone wall. Some of these ga rd ens were apparently p r ettier than others, dep ending probably on the tastes and work of the monk who tended it.
That night we slept sound ly-a tired sleep unhaunted by ghosts; vut for many a night afterward we were distu r bed by the marathons run by the rats above us. To a pe r son suddenly awakened by plaster trickling down the wall at the head of one's bed these anima ls sounded lik e dogs. For several nights one persisted in visiting a

Not long ago four arrived simultaneous ly in anothe r room. Picture the consternation they ca used! Then the mice used to come out of their hol es and scurry around while we sat beside the fir eplace, and we owe some disturbed sl eep to their kn ocking ove r tin cups, etc. They had a passion for pape r of the rustling variety; and seemed to appTeciate the fact that paper is sca r ce i n France. But if we didn't ca re for these night visitors, we did enjoy the almost speaking nights beyond the ga rden wall-the sta r s, the moonligl1t, and the trees, and in the daytime, the birds

Not having to go on duty the day following our arrival, we spent OUT time explo ring and in learning a little of the history of the monaste r y from members of the former unit and from French girls whom we met in the villaae.
Chartreuse of Vauclaire was founded by Cardinal Tellerand about the middle of the cent ury. The or iginal buildings were erected then and it was established as one of the branches of the Carthusian order. During th e Hundred Years' war many of the monks were for ced to flee to other places for refuge. Then followed a period of reconstruction , r estoration and prosperity for Chartreuse

succeeded by a time of persecution, 1561 - 1616, during which the local history reBects the stormy history of the country during that period. The happiest epoch of th is monastic history lies between 1615 and 17 93, when it was guided during peaceful, prosperous years by various important and prominent abbots. Then came the downfall of its glory, and the story of th e monastery refl ects in miniature the uprOOting of th e fixed order of things the Revolution caused throughout France. In 1790 the Revolutionary Assembly confiscated all the ch urch property but "thanks to the sympathy of their compatriots," the monks remained in the abbey for three years after the

order expelling them. In 1858, after repeated efforts on th e part of the Procureur of the Grand Chartreux the property which had longed to private esta tes for many years was bought and restored as a monastery t o the Ca rthu sia n o r der. The monks wefe driven out again in 1907. For so m e years th e monastery remained vacant, th"en the French government decided to tUTn it in to a n insane asylum, and it was acco rdin gly r emodelled, and new buildings added Apparent l y most of th e monks' ce ll s, except those on the side, were torn down, and wards built instead The reco n struc tion was nearly completed when the waT broke oot. and afte r anothe r

wall along one side from which rises the remains of a vineyard. In front of the monastery is a thick wall of evergreens and trees covered with "ines. Apparently behind this was a high stone wall, an old bastion of which still stands down by the wal.er's edge.
The monks were not allowed to speak; ninety words a year being a1l they were allowed j and when met :myone they passed with head bowed, and hands folded, IIcomme 4?1" said the little French girl, giving us a graphic illustration. Her father had once been sent for to repair the roof; the abbe had written instructions on a piece of paper and handed it to him.
Every morning, when the monks arose, they went to mass. Whenever the bell r>ng they kneeled; before ano after washing their hands they kneeled. Wroujours! Toujoursl" said our informant, in her excited way, again illustrating, as she stopped us in the corTi· dor in front of a niche in the wall where there was a brass tap with a tin sign abo\'e it,"Eau non po.table." (Throughout the monas· tery one is constantly coming across one of these little niches j often a cupboard in the wall contains the usual tap with its sign, "Enu potable," or IiEau non potable.")
At one end of the main building is the grand chapel. High up at intervals along the walls may be seen the maltese crosses-brown in a circle background of blue-symbol, we are told, that the Pope or one of his emissaries has visited this place, and that it had a certain required standing. This chapel is now used as the enlisted men's mess·hall. The former worshippers would have been horror stricken could they have looked down. the centuries and seen that chapel crowded with boys in khaki listening to a fellow·member on the platform singing "Be My Lily-O, I'll be your forget·me·not," the while raising pathetic eyes to a tiny balcony high up in the wall where two black heads were visible. Overseas caps corked at rakish angles. And nothing ('auld be a greater contrast to the bent forms of the silent monks than the deafening applause of tin cups on the rough wooden tables, and army boots on paved floors.
Near the large one are several sm:.lller chapels j while outside, in' the garden is :.I thick clump of trees surrounding a pile o{ stones enclosing a statue of the Virgin. Farther along, between the wall anc;l the river, is an open air chapel, the trees being planted in such a way that the aisles form a cross, in the midst of which is another rude altar of stones.

The first of the mon k.s· cells seems to be morc intact than th e others. T he old walnut doors and doorways have n Ot been c h :l.ngedor pai nt ed! In th e first room is the usual big fireplace, but also in the wall next the clois t e rs a small door about eig htee n in ches square which discl oses a passageway through to a simila r door in the cloister s j thr ou g h this th e food was pushed t o th e occ up an t ( wh ene ve r he was bei ng punished) . O ut side in the garden be lon ging to this cellule is a small niche for a s tatue, painted s ky -b lu e with stars In o n e co rner 3. well , and beside it a l ong s t one trough.
In side th e cloisters, at o ne end was a cemetery, the tall cyp r ess trees th e only proof now.
Up in the little village cemeter y on top of the hill is a sma ll vault with a mo num ent bearing the inscripti o n "C hartreuse de Vauclaire 1858- 1904. Probably th e r est ing p lace of the monks after the resto ration of the monastery in 185R . 'Vi thin t h e cloister s, was, we are told, an oubliett e, down which bad monks were thr own .

the manager of the hotel seemed especially interested in us. He offered us the best of everything, in preference to another fraternity that was holding a banquet on the same night and, in explanation, he made some mention of an old sweetheart of his who had been a Pi Beta Phi. On the night of the banquet a handsome basket of roses appeared on the table, bearing his card. It seemed to us a beautiful bit of sentiment, and in recognition we offered to sing some of the old songs for him.
Toward the end of the evening, he appeared in the doorway of the banquet hall. Instead of finding him the sort of man whom we naturally expected would be moved by sentiment and l1;allantry to send flowers to a girls' fraternity because of romantic associations with a member of that fraternity in the past, we saw there a man almost approaching middle age, of grave and thoughtful expression. He stood there for a moment while we sang and thanked him for the flowers, and then he told us his story.
"A number of years ago," he began simply, iiI loved a girl who was a Pi Beta Phi. She was the most beautiful cha racter I have ever known, and she was a continual source of inspiration to me. We were about to be married when war was declared with Spain, and I had to do my part. She waited for me Her image was before me constantly during the war, and I realize that to her I owe anything worth while that I did. \Vhen I returned. we were married. I found that I had not idealized her , that she was more lovelY in every way than I had ever thought. \Ve were happy for two years. Then-she left me."
He paused for a moment, then continued UThat was over fifteen yea r s ago. Since then I have never met he r equal, and I have never married again. And now the name of Pi Beta Phi means her to me. I cannot help feeling that every Pi Phi must be the sort of girl she was, and in her name I would like to do anything in my power for the fratM"nity."
When he left, we sat there in silence for several moments. \Vc had never realized before how mu ch Pi Beta Phi could mean to anyone, and his story made us feel that we ought to live up to the ideals he and others hold for the fraternity. He has not forgotten , and we shall not.

This la s t term of sc hool has been s u c h an unu s ual one that 1 hard l y kn o w how to sum th e w o rk up o r where to beg in to tell o f it . N othi ng stands ou t any mo r e vividly than th e e pidemi c of influenza wh ic h stru ck us the second w eek in J anua r y. On Tuesday m o rning we questioned the wisdom of c losi n g school and finally decided it was the best thin g to do and by th e next mornin g nearly every p e rso n in th e Bur g was d ow n With no d oc to r within seven mil es and n o nurses anywhere we well ones had to put ou r shou ld er s to th e wh ee l. Th e people had co nfiden ce in us and if anyone was able to get to th e co ttage th ey ca me for instructions and I believe they followed them out to the best of th eir ability .

So many of the children and other people, too, asked for the privilege of using the Hbrary this summer that we shall have it open one day each week. I have been surp rised this year to see how much use'the young people made of the library.

The church and Sunday School suffered as much from the influenza as the school did and it has been hard to arouse interest again. Some of the ladies came,to me to help them start a woman's society in the church and I believe that will be a great help to them and the whole community. I ga\'c them th e of the co ttage for thei r meetings and urged them to try to get together twice a month. Now that the Tennessee women are to have the opportunity to vote there will be something more to be done. \Ve must do some kind of work that will help prepare them for their new responsibilities in that line. The morc we can coordinate chur ch, school, and country the more we will accomplish for each .
The southern schools commi ttee have asked us for an exhibit at the Centenary Jubilee at Columbu., OhiO, June 20 to July 14. I shall be there part of the time and sha!'1 be so glad to see any of the Pi Phis who come to the jubilee. So many letters of inquiry come from the different clubs and I am sure it would be splendid for all if we co uld have some oppo rtun ity to talk instead of always being tied to pen and paper. Some clubs have complained of not hearing from the school. All letters received have been answered but where some have gone to is mo re than J can say. If you do not hear w·ithin a reasonable time, will you write again? And another suggestion Today there is a pi l e of letters on my desk, everyone asking the same thing, abOut the school for Founders' Day and unless I used th e telegraph it is impossible to get onc reply to you ' in time. The mails are slow these days and we have to allow more time than we used to. I am so glad to give you any new'S I can and love to hear from the clubs but I am sorry to have the replies get to you after you have ceased to want them.
All this year I have wished to be in closer touch with those who are interested in the school and if I can be of any help to any of you in any way fust let me know. Our fraternity is doing a splendid work in the mountains and, in my judgment , a very pat ri otic work.
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PIll
If we can train boys and girls up into fine citizens, what better can we do for our country and the world?
Some inquiries have come to me concerning the individual pledge cards that have been given out by the Province Vice-presidents or othe rs working under their d irection for the school.
A reference to the financial report in the October ARROW of last yea r will give you the amount of that passes through the chainnan's hands for the yearly maintenan ce of the school and it may be easily seen from this that a larger amount has to be counted on to pay the actual running each m o nth-never less than $400. As the clubs vote the amount they will give each year, this varies conside rably and is very unce rtain in arriving at the time wt' expect it , !ro we feel that the individual pledges given for a term of five years furnish us with a definite basis for estimating what can be counted upon for the support of the school during the year.
Credit is always given the club whenever the individual speci fi es her desire. [f the secretary or treasurer of the clubs would itemize the money sent by them we co uld then designate the amout;lts in o ur repo rt as follows:
Amount given by club as a whole.
Amount given from ente rtainments, sale of baskets, etc.
Amount given by individual pledges.
The clubs in this way co uld be graded acco rding to th e number of individual pledges in proportion to the club's membership .
\Ve are in hopes , by this plan to have the c1ubs rea ch no nresident members and isolated Pi Phis who would be glad to be given an opportunity to come in touch with a club, and also to have a part in this great work that our fraternity has undertaken. As it is refl ecting credit and honor on each and every Pi Phi , each should be a cont.ributing for ce at work for jtJ growth.
The Province Vice-p residents have these pJedge cards for distribution and I hope this explanation will make the necessity so urgent thaf they will be signed rapidly. If only one dollar a yea r were given by each alumna. we would be enabled to pay easily all expenses

IN MEMORIAM
SAR\MARGARETBIGIIA1t
Sara Margaret Bigham, Pennsylvania r, ex-' 15, passed away December 3, 1918, in Denver, after a brief illness from influenza and pneumonia.
'Sara was born in Gettysburg, Pa., December I, 1893. She entered Dickinson College in 1911, being initiated into Pennsylvania r the same year. With the intention of taking up special work elsewhere, she withdrew from the college at the end of two years. During following summer her health began to fail, and after an illness of nearly three years, she went to Denver, accompanied by her sister, in the hope of regaining health. It was here that she was attacked by the fatal influenza.
We remember lovingly the winsome, happy, fun-loving Sara of college days, when she endeared herself to so many as a true friend j and we think with deep admiration of the patient, brave, and cheerful spirit in which, afterward, she faced illness and its discouragements. She indeed fought a good fight and her life will ever be an inspiration to those who were privileged to know her.

On December 20, 1918, she finished her cou rse at Columbia University and was on the same day she was taken ill with influenza.
Lucille had no r ough edges which hurt one at any time, for other people's joys and sorrows were always hers. Lucille was always anxious to sha r e her advantages with those who we re less fortunate .

She was a girl among girls, attracting at first, perhaps, by a magnetic personality, and then welding these bonds of attraction into stronger bonds of admiration for a young life full of purpose, enthusiasm. a'nd honesty. In the discharge of duty, Eleanor Ward was absolutely dejlendable and prompt. Reminder was never necessary in her case. As a student, she was keen of mind, bright and of ready speech, uut free from the of bluffing. As student secretary of the Y. W. C.

As a Pi Beta Phi she was a sympathetic and generous older sisler to the younger girls and a staunch companioi, (or those of her own age and standing.
She has crossed the threshold into the Great Beyond, having been allowed to tarry with us but a little while, but in that brief span of time she has created an influence which will remain with us'

AS STATED ELSEWHERE in this issue, it has no w become a patriotic duty as we ll as a fraternity privilege to support our Sett lem e nt Schoo l.
Miss Bishop's interesting news in her c urrent co ntribution regarding th e new duties facing the workers at Gatlinburg as an outcome o f Tennessee's r ecent action on the equal suffrage question r eminds the Editor of a l ittle incident related to her by one of O UT young aiwnnre, a few weeks ago . This young woman is the wife of ,;:m officer in the regular army and as such has "followed the Hag H from one military post t o another. During the wa r she was acting as tea c her for a class of illiterate soldiers in one of ou r g r eat cantonments when the word vo t e occurred in a spelling-lesson. Not one of the men co u Id spell it, not o nc knew what it meant, and on inqui r y she f ou nd that eight of her class were Americans, ove r twenty-one years of age and all came fr o m mountain h omes in East Tennessee where they had never cast a vote in any This incident makes the Editor agree with one mountain worker who said recently: lilt will n ot be very difficult to prepare the women in our co mMunity to vote as intelligently ai as thei r men folk "
A few years ago it was co nsidered a disgrace for a woman in Gatlinburg to "speak in meeting," now, according to Miss Bishop's latest report, the women are taking the in iti ative in the community and seekin g a c hurch o r ganizat ion of their own.
The time has co me when the future of this mountain community, dear to the hearts of Pi Phis th e coun try over, depends as never before on the future development of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School. Let every club and c hapter prepare to rally with renewed e nthusiasm to its support next year. News of the opening of the sc hool year and plans for the winter work will appear in the October ARROW.
SECRETARY LANE 'S PUBLICATION of the extent of our adult ilJiteracy, showing that 700,000 men of draft nge could not read thc ir orders, came as a shock to the co untry , but the statement of the Provost Marshal General of the United States that npproximat e ly one -third of the young manhood of this nation when examined for military service, was r ejected because they were physically unfit has r c"ea led a far greater peril. That it is even worse than it seemed

at first has been shown by recent statistics released by the Covern· ment showing that 52% of the children in our grade schools were found to be below par physically after ce rtain tests were made. Every man in the army has had opportunity to obtain knowledge of how to keep himself physically fit. Our Government feels that the womanhood of the count ry should have equal opportunity. Consequent ly , at the request of the Government, the Y. W. C. A. cal led together a number of th e leading women physicians of the country for a con feren ce in New York last November and as a result, these noble women have, ever since, been preaching the gospel of good health among women and girls in various parts of the country.
The need is nation-wide, the program covers the need. Dr. j\latLke',* plea for the education o f girls along the lines of hygiene met with a co rdial r esponse from her audience.

A stray copy of the Newcomb Areatf" brought the following concerning our former Grand Treasurer :

The letter given below signed HAn Appreciative Alumna" has a hint for every one in the sentence, IIIt isn't enough to read those pertaining to my own chapter alone in order to find out every· thing of interest, SO lest I show pa r tia lit y, I read and enjoy them all "
"For almost a year I have been out in the wide, wide world and, like most alumnte.

In the early fall our rrsident alumnae all rtceived a copy of the dub program, • printed bill for dues, and a copy o( our president's annual letter. In tlUs letter the club'. plans were given in detail and members were urged to UBring knitting or needles to meetings!'
Early in the year it was decided to run OUf finances on a budget balil. Definite luml were "ppropriated for current expenses and (or the varioul fraternity ufnndl"; and the unlimited remAinder was set aside for the Settle· ment School.
Among the various methods we have used for raising money, the most successful and profitable was the sale of Christmas cards. Over $100 was raised by this mtans. A very satisfactory amOuDt was yielded by our mite boxes. The profits from the Settlement School baskets and the Founders' Da)' receipts have also swelled our treasury. We are planning to have a demoDltra· tion IUDcheon soon at one of the city food shops, and the proceeds from this affair will al$O be added to our treasury.
AI a club we have not engaged in anyone form of war work. Several of our members have been devoting a great deal of time to working in the canteenl in the city. We h3.ve been knitting squares for the chapter. alghan and have been guthering tinfoil for the fraternity collection. Our Gatlinburg soldier boy hal writte n several times duriog the year and has acknowledged the boxel we have sent him. While Mrs. Morris A. Scott (Florence Bentley, ex.'JS) was oveneas with the Harvard unit, we slnt money and boxes to her. So, although we have not accomplished allY one thing. we can look back on several smaller activities which, we trust, have helped to further the great cause.
Our May, 1918, me e ting was the annual baby party at which we always enjoy becoming acquainted with the Pi Phi children, and watching them become acquainted with one another.
As ulual we gathered in July for our outing at the summer home of Mrs. D. D Nickerson (Anna Robinson, '01). Needless to say we revelled in meeting again the "iris who had been away during the school )'ear After bearty
The epidemic of last autumn upset our program somewhat so that the rushing pa rty planned for October was not held until November. Then we' gatheredrushees. actives, and alumnre-for a merry erening at the home of Mrs. A. H. Avery (Ethel Piper, '(6). After supper we adjourned to the barn and enjoyed stunts and origina l Virginia reel s
In earl y December we held our constitution meeting, and during the holidays we met for our Christmas reunion. No prOb>'Tam was carried out at this latter meeting, but all enjoyed having a chance to "just talk."
On January II the alumna! showed each other that they had by no means forgotten how to romp and frolic. We had a di s trict school with the appro · priate goody girls and naughty boys. After the elaborate closing day exercises, pupils and visitors enjoyed a war · tim e cooky ·shine At this time the scholarship cup was awarded to Ruth Kimball, '20, the junior with the best sophomore year record.
Our Red Cross meeting in February was held at the home of Mrs. John P. Marshall. We were delightfully en' tertained with music and then we had the pleasure of listening to Mrs. Morris Scott (Fl o ren ce Bentley, ex'IS) as she told of her experi e nces as a nurse in Fran ce and showed us several cherished souvenirs.
The Founders' Day celebration was a di s tinct succ ess. Many alumnre and a large proportion of ac tive girls met at Beacon Hall in Brookline, and after a lively business meeting, participated in a track meet. Before supper we gathered about the piano to sing some of our fraternity songs, especially the newer favorites. After a self-service supper, a playlet was given and this was followed with a ukulele concert by the a ctive girls. The occasion seemed incomplete without charades, and before the evening over, every person present had a chance to exercise her peculiar talent.
The advisory committee has tried to keep active girls and alumna! in close touch. Actives have shown inte r est in our ,,"ork by attending our meetings, and we have endeavored to have one or more alumnre present at most chapter meetings. The club is to give a piece of jewelry to the active girl who shows the greatest scholarship improvement over last year. Chapter finances have been supervised by the advisory committee and the splendid beginning made by the girls fO r a permanent chapter · house fund has been encouraged
The year has heen a very busy and profitable one and for tbat we owe a great deal to our enthusiasti c presid e nt who has been reelected for next year. We also f eel that we have become better acquainted with Pi Phis everywh ere through the splendid interest sho\vo in our work by the alumnre from other ch(Lpters.

The bu"inen of writing an interesting. not tn mention a h e lpful letter, i, a u "fficult onc this year. The Buffalo Pi Pbil &Ji • club have not a«omplilheo mu c h for the fraternity or in war work. We decided early last year that because the attendance :at ea<;h meeting WitS sm!lll, we could do more good in the Red Cron and olher war work by associating oursel vel with larger o rganization s. our sc hools, or offices.
Our club, however, played a very necessary ,}art during the lalt two yean. It filled our rtcreation moments, it provided lhe times when except (or our knitting, which we had always w'th us. we could for a short time lay uide the more serk ul activities nnd relax among friends. All we look back upon it now we are regretting that our anocialion under the name oC Pi Phi has not been productive of more material results, but that very regret hu already renewed our interest in the larger activities of the fraternity for next ytar.
\Ve attempted to Mil baskell for the Settlement School, but we experienced the difficulty uprelSed by order was never tilled. in fact al1 trace of it was lost. We ended by individual contributions to the fund. which because of so many other demands we regret is ,;mAll.
Our program for the year has included the u!>.ual studies of the cons titution, history. nnd Settlement Scht)()1. We 3re doing part of this by answerin, the questions on the last exa mination paper, which has been cut up and distributed, ' each member being responsibl e (or careful answers to two or three. It i. surprising how m u ch information one runs across in searching for only two or three answers!
\Ve have h:.d sever,,1 delightful social meetings, onr house party last spring, still talk ed 0(, and which we hope to repeat this year, a short visit with two Province Presidents. Eva Burlingham Puff and Pauline Turnbull, on their way home from convention last July, and a trip to Niagara Falls with luncheon at Mrs. Albert Wright'" (Gertrude Cole, Missouri H, ' 14 ). We regret exceedingly the misunderstanding And delayed mails which prevented our meeting Mrs . Rugg. We trust the visit is only postponed .
Founders' O.y ",a, celebntro with a cooky-shine and theater party Letters or telegrams were read from every Pi Phi who has been a member of the Duffalo Club. and has left the city, whi ch gave us a delightful feeling of reunion and one-ness.
The penonnt:i of our club changes far too rapidly! Each year we welcome most helpful new Pi Phis. only to lose very faithful members. Since the last letter Mr s C. r.. (Leila. Soule. Michiga.n A. 'OS) has moved to River Forest, III , and Mrs. Walter Packe r (Etta Shoupe, Illinois E, ex-IIO) has left (or Los Angel es, :md in June, Mrs. Wilbur Kirby (Lena Dunning, Iowa 8, '06) leaves for Springfield, Mass.
We were glad to welcome during the year Mrs. C. H. Weber (Florence Gritton, New York A. ex-'o4), who has moved here. and Carol Cotto n, Wi s-

The personnel or our club this year has been widely "aried owing to the very unll5ual conditions. The cries for assistance from Europe have been answered by a large number of Pi Phis who have rallied to the call of humanity. New York City being the port of elllb:ukntion, has enabled our club to meet Rnd greet many of our sisters living west, south, and even in the island possession$.. who in normal times would be nearer home. This advantage we have greatly enjoyed. I
Ninet,-eight Pi l)his were at our large!!t meeting, representing (arty chap. ters. Twenty-three were 'present at our smallest meeting, npresenting fourteen chapters. During the whole year the number of different people attending our meetings has been 169, representing a total of forty·six chapters.
"Mrs. Clyde Brown's (Caroline Schwefel, Ohio A, '«)6) hospitable offer of her borne for our club meetings was eagerly accepted. The horne: atmosphf're and t h e cordiality of our hostess have made our meetings a series of family gatherings. MrIii. Clyde Brown and Mrs. \V. H. Lough (Elizabeth Shepard, Wisc'onsin A, '04) took charge of the war work and obtained sewing from the American Committee for Devastated France. which supplied materials to be made into clothing for French children. The club raised funds to buy more material. Old garments were mended for the women. Old shirts were cut down for the stokers on the transports. At every meeting. no matter what Ole program, the time was spent in sewing.
Mrs. C. G. Cleaver, chairman of the membership committee, hat! 3. girl from ench chapter assist her through her local organization. Sophie \Voodman, New York B, '07, co-(:hairman, with the assistance of the New York Betas, entertained and interested the alumntr living in Bnd passing through the city We found this a very good way of lengthening our membership list.
While: not neglecting 'our war relief work or other Pi Phi obligations, we have this year concentrated our efforts on our Settlement School fund. Let· ters were Rnt to all alumnre in New York City and v-icinity, and to some few at a distance not connected with Bny other alumnre clubs. In this way
our Settlement School committee, with Mrs. George II. Hakes (Netta Hoffman, Pennsylvania r, '00), as cha.irman, has raised $:02 for mnintenance, and $4.00 of the new ' "ictory Bonds (or the endowment fund. The foUowiD& chapters contributed bonds: Wisconsin A. $100 (100 per cent contribution) j Ne.., York B, $100; Pen!lsylvania P, $50; Pennsylvania A. and B, $50; Coloratlo A and B, $50; Oregon ."'-, A. ArknnftU A. Florida A, Texas -0, JUnlll. n, fown B. and Virginia B, all in number very small, made 100 per cent con· tributions and presented the school with • $so bond. On Augu:d S Il1.5t we also sent the school (or maintenllnce $18, a left over contribution from last year. This brings our total (or Ihe Settlement School year up to '$630 in cash lind bonds. Our tolal might h:tve been larger, but two of our large chapters gue through other organiutions. We are very glad to do our bit,. not for our school, but for our country in her lut war Joan.
Our magazine subscription list was not very long, but MildredPellen, New York r, 'J7, chairm4n of the committee, found most of the Pi Phis ht.longed to local magnine clubs.
The cooky -shine occurred in Febru:try under the supervision of fr •. H. \ V. Snyder (Jostpbiue Wiley, M:tryl4nd A, eJC:- 'OI), And her energetic committee. [t was held at one o'clock to serve the double l)urpose oC luncheon and cooky-shine. Over eighty attended. Mrs. R. V. Puff (En. Burlingham, New York A, 'II), president of Alph3. Province, Mrs. R. J.

Mrs_ H. Snyder (Josephine Wiley, Maryl::md A, ex-'Ol) wrote to 3.11 of the known Pi Phis within 3. radius of one hundred miles to ntlend the cooky-shine. Loyal responses came from many who had not been heard from in years. Mr!. Snyder's invaluable work: along this line h!ls gfven us a very unusual opportunity of keeping in touc h with distant Pi Phis and also in checking up our Ii.ts.

Owing to the diminlshed numbH of re s ident alumntt and to the fact that the non: resident J1;)embers are thili ycur more widely scattere d than ever before, we have h!ld fewer a lumn re meefngs but have met frequently with the active chapter.
Our first meeting, lOon after the ol>ening of c,ollege was, as usual, devoted to the interesti of the active chapter. In October, the club and chapter held :I joint meeting to hur the reports of the conv e ntion delegate l At the , Novem · ber meeting we discussed the Settlement School. The study of the constitu · tion, w)1ich should have come in February. was postponed until the new edition the constitution ,hould b ! !lVailable \Ve shall lake up that and the fraternity f' lri:llm : nalion paper at the first meeting after ounders· Day. The last of March, one of the active girls entertained the chapter and club al a "maple 5uvr party." A 5now storm at the opportune time furnished us with frt:sh lIinow on which to make our maple W!lX.
Founders' Day wu celebrated with New York r. The entertainment was by clasies. The freshmen presented a "baby party," representing the seniors in their youthful days; the presented tableaux illustrating Southey's Battle of Blenheim; the seniors gave a very clever minstrel show as their part in the program; the juniors presented a one -act play, ufn the spring a young man's fancy"; nnd the alumna! gave a sce n e from the early history of the local chapter.
On account of the influenza we did not hold our annual snle, but collected money contributions instead. We tent our regular quola of $25 to the Settlement School. $5 to the War Work fund, and $3 to the Fellowship Fund.
This y;)3r we have been especially fortunate in enjoying with the active chapter visits from Mrs. Rugg, Auow Ed: tor, in December and Mrs. Puff, our Vr"ovince presid e nt, in April. A joint cooky -,hine was held in hODor of each of our gU!sts. I t surely is a treat to have such inspiring visitors
In the summer, actives and alumnre who are in town keep up IT B 4> mterest by meeting every fortnight for a social evening. last summer we spent the time in knitting and doing other Red Cross work.
Our UI)- river picnic in July was and more enthusiastic than any b!fore. Threr of N ew York r's convention d e legation had just returned from C harlevoix l!.nd were most enthusiastic in their talk of convent"on. We were also very gilld to welcome Mildred Tail and Mrs. McMullin, both of New York A. Mill Tllit also aroused our enthusiasm for the work at Gatlinburg by her stories of her visit to school.

\Ve did hope, thi s year, to br.: able to announce the arrinl of more Pi Phis in Rochester, but you will see by the above s tatistics that the number of o ur members has not in c reased. On the contrary, several o f our most valued workers have moved from the city.
At the beginning, we had from twenty to twenty-fi ve resident alumnae; now there e leven, nine of whom are me mbers of the club. Four of these have small children and a re St'ldom able to attend meet ings. so that the r ea lly active members number only five.
But to cease my "tale of woe" and to tell what little we have been able to do this yea r. We held n o May, July, Augu s t, o r October meeti ngs, but in Jun e we had n good old-fashioned picnic at Highland P a rk, and in September began our sewing (o r the Belgian Relief. One member o f the club has this work in charge and supplies patterns nod materials for each meeting. This year we seem to h!lVe spedali:ted in baby bootees and litt le dresses, but very likely shnll branch out and do other things the coming year.
rn November, we packed a box of games and children's books for the Settlemen t School Chrisbnas. Our co ntribution in money, this year. is $33.
In December we were so fortunate as to hav e a flying visit from Mrs Rugg. We had planned a luncheon for her at Teall's. but she was delayed by a railroad wreck and did not .rr:ve in rime. so we had tea at the home of Mrs. L. C. Atwater (Florence Andrews Vermon t A. '00).
So far, we have (ound no new or un iq ue way of studying the constitution or examination, and would s urely be gilld o( h in ts from othe r clubs. We sha ll celebrate Founders' Ol:l.y by a lun cheon anrt theater pllrty.

In November. 1918, a meeting was held at the home of Lydia Gooding. Most of the time was s pent 10 discussion of the relation of the wilh the active chapter. V.rious suggestions were made as to how the alumo::.: might really help and be helped by the chapter. There seemed to be a general fetling among the girl. that we ought to be more concerned about the welfare of the active chapter. As an oulgrowth of this meeting the :d umnre entertained the active girls at the home of Mrs Calvin Rickenbaugh (Kathleen Gooding, Pennsylvania r, 'OS).

Our meetings during the plUt year have been .held the fint Saturday of c-very month, the regular business meetings being preceded by a one o'clock luncheon, as in previous years. Th ese luncheon s arc given at the homes of our members and are made as simple and inexpensive as possible. Each hostel' has three assistant hostesses who share with her the work and expeose. The work is reduced to a min i mum by the serving of the luncheon cafeterilL style on irldividual tin trays, which are owned by the club and borrowed by each hosten in turn. We have found these luncheon. a most successful way o( keeping up interest and enthusiasm in club.
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
In order to better keep in touch with one nnother we each have typewritten lists of our members, their addres ses, llnd telephone numbers. Every effort is made to keep these up to date, nnd as soon as a Pi Phi comes to Cleveland to live her name finds its way to our list.
Throughout the winler the Cleveland l':tnhellenic. in which fifteen women's fraternities are represented, has been meeting every Friday at the Y. W. C. A. to sew for the A. F. F. W. In addition to this the organization has a scholarship of $125 to make it possible for at l east one girl, who otherwise could not do so, to finish her college course at Western Reserve University. 1I B of. contributed $15 toward thi s fund. 3nnual Panhellenic InDehe'on was g iven nt the Y. W. ! C A. cafeteria this year in an effort to cu t down expense because of the many d emands on on e's purse made by the war.An enjoyable mu sical and literary program was gi\'e n.
Our February mectirlg wns devoted to the study of the constitution. Each member was cn.lled upon . to discuss certain parts of the constitution and of the l)i Beta Phi history, which had been previously assigned to her. The meeting closed with the sn l e of fl numoer of baskets from the Sett lement Schoo l.
In "pite of the distr.ncting influence of war interests, the same loyal support was given to the Settlement School llS in former years. At our March meeting the central object of interest was a large basket into which we d r opped our contributions to the Settl e ment School Fund. Upon investigation it was found that the basket held $17i.33. Of this sum, $.w came from the sa le of Royce goods. Mrs. A. R. Curtis (Frances Cn rpenter, Colorado B, '07), ha s the agency, :l.nd she gives the 40 per cent commission which she receives to the Settlement School. Hert is a splendid opportunity for eve r y Pi Phi to help the &ttlement School, and at the same time benefit h erself, by ordering all her fla voring extracts, silver polish, perfume, cold cream, toilet soap, etc ., from Mrs. A. R. Curtis, 4118 Perkins Aven,,ue, Ohio. "When it's Royce's yo u know it's pure"-and the Settlement Sch oo l gets 40 per cent! The Cl eveland Cl ub will pay the postage on all orders of Royce goods . At this meeting, we also voted to give $S from the treasury to the Lonn Fund, and ' $1440 was contributed by individual members to the War Fund
On March 29 we had a. stunt party. "Mrs. Ruggles" .nnd a.1I her children were there to entertain us, and Mrs. C urti s co n ducted a. "Beau ' ty S h op" in which she demonstrated the maT\'elous efficacy of Royce's Hair Tonic and other toilet preparnliolls. The meeting closed in :l more serious vein with the singing of patriotic songs by Mrs. C. A. Miller (Pear l Kepple, :Michigan A, '08).
We are going to celebrate Founders' Day Saturday, April 26, with a lun cheon .nt Hotel Cleveland, our new hotel on the Public Square. \Ve have invited the Ala' on Club to be our guests, and we nre hoping to be able to m!l.ke the day as enjoyahle for them as Founders' Day w.ns for us last year when we were their guests at the Elks' Club in Akron. After the luncheon we a.te phoning to have a short progT3nl of songs and recit:llions instead oC the customary to:uts.
The last meeting of the year will be :l cooky -shine the first Saturday in l\f3y nt the home of Ruth Martyn,,ohio A, "7.

The Ph:ladelphia Club has held regular meetings at the homu 01 members es.ch month during the past year, u:.cepting October. when the quarantine regulationl prevented.
In November, we heard a most interesting report of the CharJc\'oix con\'cntion by Marion Baker. Pennsylvania A, "4. our club delegate, now Bela P r ovince Vice-president. This meeting was followed by a cooky-shine, al which the members find pledges of Pennsylvania A were our guests.
rn December and January, the meetings were preceded by informa l lunch· eons, and the February meet ing was followed by Pennsyl vania A initiation and supper. We are fortunate in having this so nenr, {or it is. means of keeping us in close touch with active interests a.nd enthusia.sm. Five girls are invited to each alumnre club meeting, and the chapter report which they bring is always heard with interest.
\Ve celebrate Founders' Day with the Swarthmore chapter, as in otner ye:lrs, and will have · a banquet at the Adelphia Hotel in April 26.
We have followed the piau of individual subscriptions for raising money for the Settlement School, and our donat ion this year amounted to about $110.
Being anxious to do some definite war work as a club, we have adopted two French war orphans. This money was also raised by subscription. Dona· tions to the national war work of the fraternity and to the Fellowship Fund were (rom the club treasury.
We have tried to interest all Pi Phis whom we knew to be living in or near Philadelphia. The officers of Ihe club wrote personal letters to many, outlining the program for the year, and urging them to attend the meetings whenever possible, and this brought several new members. We hope that any Pi Phis who come to live in the vi cinity o( Philade lphia next year will let u s know their addressr-s, and plan to come to the club meetings.

The Toledo Club has made its mee tings recreational in nature this year, rath er than try to carry out any elaborate program. As Ulany of our members are teachers, and those of us who are have interests outside of our homes, in addition to our home cares, we would rather relax anll chat, when coming together, as we really form a very congenia l group, our club being so small.
"We ' had a spread at holiday time at Powell's, another in February at Mrs. Charles Nichols', at which a number of Michigan Betas were present. A committee prepnres these spreads and the expense is divided For Founders' nay celebration, we nre to have a luncheon and theater party.
As a group, we have not been doing any war work this year, but individuals have participated in various organuations. Mrs. H. O. Barnes (Katherine Tonr, Michigan B, '03) is very active in A. C.

Early in Janullry ten alumnre living in Northeastern Pennsylvania met at th.e home of Florence Clum Temple in Clarks S umm it (or the purpose of I org:..nizing nn a lumn :.: c lub. Officers were e l ected and a simple constitution drawn up. At once we applied Cor a charter which hrus been granted although not yet received. We decided tht the club should hold bimonthly meetings at the homes of the different members. with the exception of the Founders' nay celebration, which should be a little more elaborate than the rest. Following the meeting Ella Garvin Baldwin, Maryland A, 'II, and Mrs. Temple served a cooky ·shine.
The second meeting was held in at the home of Mp,rgaret Chappe ll McDonnell. Pennsylvania H, 'II, she and Eunice Hall acting lUI hostesses. AlI had feft ,the need oC reviewing the initiation ceremony, consequently we held a initintion, after we had pledged our candid"te, Miss Hall. Following this we made a complete study oC the new constitution, which. we think, is fine. The rehearsal of the ceremony certainly wns a real inspiration and every thoroughly enjoyed it.
On the twenty-sixth of April we had a luncheon in Wilkes-Bane at Hotel Sterling in honor oC the Founders. Mrs. Shutts, Helene DilTendaCer, Pennsylvania '.8, and Ruth Cannon, Pennsylvania B. '18, were in charge. Marguerite Lolle, ':11, of the active chapter at Bucknell was th e guest of the cHub. She gnve us an excellent talk o n the conventio n at Charlevoix which ahe attended l ast June. We were also glad to have her tell us of the chapter and

According to the plans of the program comDlittee, the club was divided into groups, geographically located, in order to simplify the matter of 'Cotertaining such a huge club; different groups entertaining at different meetings. The club met at the CoUege \Vornen 's Club on the first Tuesday evening of each month; the Tuesdays. in the chapter- rooms or 31 Ure homes of the different mdllbers.
ThHe are nine pl"Ovinces and twenty-one chapters represented by the resi dent nn:mix:rs. At the meetings, which h3ve all been welt attended, the constitution, Settlement School, and plans (or the opening of another n B 4H ouse have been discussed. It was decided, however, there would llot be the 11eed for a house now since many of the "wnr workers" are returning to their homes. .
The club h:.s sent $114.05 as its contribution to the Settlement School this year. This fund was rl'i"ed through individual subscriptions. benefit bridge parties, a. benefit d:lJ.lce, nnd from the sale of chocolate and of Christmas noveltie s. Many attractive baskets seot from the Settlement School have been bought by the club members. We have had the p l easure of ba.ving one of the Settlement Schoo l teachers, Bernice Good, Indiana B, ' 17 with us this year.
As our war work we made up II purse to. be distributed among the needy in France by Mabel Scott. '07. a former president of the club, who is now in charge of II canteen at St. Brie u c, ninety miles from Brest. Through individual pledges, we have sent the required amount of money for the support of a French war orphan for onc year.
Our Red Cross branch, which has contiuued to flourish tl;1is winter and meets twice a month on Saturday afternoons at the homes of til\! dilTerent girls, has completed many garments for the refugees.
We celebrated Founders' Day with Maryland A, on April 19 . Near l y-all of the active chapter and many alumna: attended the banquet at .,Balti m ore.
Tn May there will be another business meeting, the last one of the fiscal year. Then we nre pla.nning to have informal gatherings once a month through the summer. The tentative plans for next winter a.re: one meeting a month held. at the home of some member.
On February I, the II B house at 13 10 Q Street was closed. The chnirmaD of house committee, Ruth McGowan, Columbia A, '98, was instrumental in bringing the affairs of the house to a successful close.

Our April meeting closes the work (or the ye.ar 1918 ' 19 which, all things taken into consideration, has been most success(ul. True, the war, together with the "flu" has been rother a disturbing e lemen t but it has nol retarded our work and plans more than :1Oy other line of work. The war has broadened ou r field of duties in addition to our regular club ac tivities and has kept us very busy. Everyone has done knitting either (or individual soldiers o r (or the Red Cross . Many of our members have been active in canh."'Cn wo rk, and have rendered their services in that way. 'Ve are supporting a Frenc h war orphan and at one o( our meetings contributed $13 to the French Relief fund. Some time' was spent in making handkerchiefs for the so ldiers in local camps. All the members have helped in individu:t1 Red Cross sewing such as the making of badges. bed garmt'nts. etc
Our summer plans have not yet taken definite shape. The newly elected officers. who have eharge of tbem. will need lome time for milking arrange · ments for their summer work.

The Chicago C lub ha s had a good year as usual, in some ways, a vcry important year.
In connectio n with the Settlement School we have kept up and increased ou r interest. our groups working as a unit for the club contributions of money. Two groups. the north and west sides, sold Christmas cards and novelties clearing about $220 , while the south side and Evanston groups gave personal pledges and a card psrty clearing almost os much more. Just at present the exact amount is not at hand but it will be between $37S and $400.
Besides this, we have had a talk on the sch ool and its environment illustrated with lantern slides, by Mr. Orpheus M. Schantz, at our :February meeting which was very enlightening to o ur m embers Mr. Schantz has had a Dumber of new slides made from p :ctures taken by him and Mrs. Irvin Meyers (Marjorie Jackson, Wisconsin A), a former teocher at the sc h oo l. A number of the slides are colored. As a club we feel that our School is of vital interest to us all and we h ope llDother yea r to do even more for it.
For our active chapter we held the initilltion on February 8 at the h ome of Mrs. \V. D. Starnes (Katherine Little. JJlinois E) with a banquet at the hotel. At this banquet, the subject of the c hange of our war work to the. Fund for French Girl Students was considered and $29 was raised.
Our regular meetings were to have begun with a meeting in Ida Noyes Hall (U of C) on October 19. but the prevalence of influenza de layed o ur meeting until November 9, when a goodly number met in the beautiful audience room of tbis unique building. \Ve had a of the work of co nvention given by wewben of the club wh o were at convention in official capacity.
Nut came our Thank sgiving lun cheon at the College Club rooms. After luncheon, a talk on the work of the young women at the Libertyville farm. which was worked entirely by girls, was given , and Mrs. H. W. Bingham (Amy Voung, Penn s ylvania A, '98) gave her war expe ri ence au a motor car Jriver, in the ci ty, during the duration of the war.

The Jut of March we held our annual meeting in the sun parlor of the College Club rooms, This was devoted to business and election of oRient, but was voted by .11 to be unusually inleresting.
The question of a "yearbook" has been ver, hard to settle this year owing to the unusual conditions, but we have finally decided to publish it at the end of our year and to have it in the hands of members by June, JO aJ) may know ol( our coming year's work in advance.
Our Foundeu' Day celebration was. tea at the home of Mary Doland, IlIino:1 E. '0'1, April 26. " BeHer English Speech." which flu arousing 10 muc h interest in our ci ty, was the topic, with Mrs. R. II. Cault (Annie Lee. New York B, '06), as speake r .
Our la st meeting for thi, year will be our picnic .t the b,orne of Mrs. Arthur Moore (Emeline Morris, mino:. B), in HigblJmd Park. Previou s years' warrant us in laying that we will all enjoy it and everyone who can, will be there, including husbands, chHdren, and friend., for iti. our big annual family affair and i. proving one o( our belt evenU. \Ve grow better acquainted when we can meet our Pi Phi families in this delightful way.
\Ve have a number of members sti11 in war service, Virginia Chester, 111inoi. Z, is teaching boolc binding in ODe of the hospitals in Washington; Kate Miller, Iowa n, and Grace \Vallar. Iowa A, are in c.anteen service abroad. M iss Miller was in Germany at the Ift.st hearing and had met Miss Wa.l1ar in one of their c.hanges of positions.
Finally, may we suggest to all th e clubs that they make a big effort to see the new school slides. Detroit. Twin City, Neb., Iowa City, Cedar Rapid s, and other c ities have had them through the cooperation of Mrs F. J. Allen (Nina lIarris, Illinois D), our Aillmnre ARROW Editor, and Mr. Orpheus M.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
We have tried, though, nol to lose other interes ts, so the year has proved broadening and helpful. 'The required meetings were welc o med and enjoyed In November we discussed active chapter interests at the home of Floren ce Page, 'II, with reports {r'om the advisory board, and many helpful suggestions from the other alumna:. At!l meeti ng on the constitution, Dorothy Traver, the active chapter president, ex plained the newest amendments ond she and Mar · guerite Shafer gave very reports of the convention. Our Sett l ement School meeting in January was particularly enjoyabl e . It was h eld at the home oC Irene Hamman. ' 18. A cooky -r;hine and an !luc tion sale made the evening morc festive tban usual. Mrs. Irvin Meyers (.Mujorie Jackson, \ Visconsin A, 'J4) was visiting in Decatur at that time, so we, were fortunate enough to hnve her with us, and to hear a very interesting talk on the Settlement School. We foit closer to the work Ihnn for some time, beca use she could tell us 4Ifirst hand" of the problems and her work there last year. \Ve also were f o rtunate e!uJier in the fall to hear Mr. Schantz's lecture and to see his lIereOI)tican pictures of the Settlement School.

I nstallation of onicers will come in Then we will look forward to our outdoor breakfast during commencement week in June. It is an annual event and alwnys very enjoyable, because it proves to be a "home-coming" for ou1-of to",n alumnre.
r want to speak espec ially of Ihe intimate r ebti ons between o ur club and th e acti\'e c h.!1pt e r. The younier girls a.re fin e in the sp irit they Ihow us, and we are cont inually benefited by th ei r enthusiasm and friendliness. Sometimes, even, we get mixed up on our rights to vote, and ha.ve to stop and think whether a meeting is ours or theirs. This, of co urse, me a ns that we are always welcome at the c hapte r meetings; and Ihat an active representative is usually prescnt at ours. \Ve have frequent teas, too, alte rnately given by alumnre and aclive chapter hostesses. Indeed,.11 IT parties are parties for all Pi Phis. Muc h of this close relationship has been made possible by two of our alumnre who are at the university every day, and who see the active girls 1I10st frequently. The se are Lelah-Bell Davis, who is instructor in French, and .Ptrll1y ·Belle Price, assistant librarian.
For a Christmas gift, the gave the actives a n .a. songbook, home made, and full of original or new sones. 11 wu thorouehly tried out
.fter initiation, March 8, at the home of Caroline and Eloise Lutz. This initi:J.tion will be carefully chronicled in the ('hapter letter, so we won't say much about it except to Itress our partic ular enjoyment or Mill Onken" visit at that time. We alway. love to see her, And her tOlut on this oeca5ion WIlS a real inspiration.
"Finance" has been an important word with UI this year, and we have suca:eded measurably in our elTorts to raise funds for war relief, the Settlement School, and our new house. In October we collected $93.10 (or the United War Acti.vities drivej Ilnd each member of the club contributed one dollar (or National Reconstruction \Vork. '
We find that earning money caDbe mkde a lot of (un. Our two auction salts, held respectively at the homes of I rene J I amman and Dorothy Tranr. hrought in nearly $50. \ Vhen the farst Wtl5 auctioneered by Margar91 Dick, Dnd accompanied by 1\ cooky -shine you will know that we didn't wear sorrowful faces. At Dorothy'III. it WIlli just as much (un. because she ser"ved refreshments, nnd Margnet Molt was auctioneer. The tbings for $!lIe ranged (rom clothing to shoe-polish, things which for some renson were not Rppreciated by their 6rst owners.
And sandwiches. The aelive gir ls ,"old enough of them in two dnys in the university corridors to buy a war orphall.

delightful :lfternoon was spent renewing our acquaintance with our n+ sisten, wh9m we seldom meet except on these happy occasions.
A I the members of the club are from up and down the river it was decided to hold two of our four meeti ngs in Aurora and Elgin separately so thai the members living nearest these would find it more convenient to attend . One joint mectinK. held with the Chicago Alumore Club in February, wa. devoted to the Settlement School; and the Ilnnual meeting for .11 the members, alternating between Aurora and Elgin, will be held in September.
Our president. Reba McCredie, succusfully passed the examination for Hospital Hut Service and received orders to be ready to sail by December I. As a farewell she gave a mos t delightful and informal tea, when war work, and this particular branch, was the topic of conversation. :Much interest was taken ip the "tro usseau " o( a Hospital Hut w orker. It was a great disappointment to Miss McC redie to be recalled before she wu given an opporlunity to show what a n 41 girl co uld do in active service.
As our club is so small we have thought it best to devote our time and money to the Settlement Schoo L We will raise ' the money by assessment and we hope to hAve a generous co ntribution (or this important branch o( noj) work.
Our Red Cross work hRs been done individually, except that knitting has been the favorit e occ upati on a t all our meetings_ But our club has 1>«n represented in all the ac tivities that the war has brought. We 8re planning to ce lebrate Founders' Day and hope to two new members at that meeting.

seemed to be filled with interest 3nd enthusia.sm (or the year's work, but here os everywhere influenu developed and during the epidemic no meetings or gatherings of My kind were held by UI.
Earl, in Decembtr. after the "flu" ban had been lifted, the club gnve an evening party nt th e home of Aimee Fisher, '06, (or the 3ctive chapter. Just before the Chris tmu holidays the club gave an o ld time Christmas party tor the c h3pler at the house.

This is one of our most enjoyable occasions as mllny girls are with us just thai one time durlng the ycar.
This year due to the fn ct that so ma ny girls have been working we have held our meetings in the evenings either al t h e home s of different members or at th e chapler-house. \Ve had business meetings on the first Friday eveni ngs of February, Mar ch, April, and May_
10 order to rnhe money for our Sett l ement Sch oo l, WAr Relief Work , and Fellowship Fund, the club took over the Lagoon Moving Pi c ture Theater for the afternoon of February '4. It pro\' ed 10 be very successfu l financially and we are considering making this an nnnll31 affair. A grut ptVt of the success was d ue to Ge rtrude Hull, '09, on e of Minneapolis mos t talented sop ran os, who sang seversl selections for us.

Because of the great amount oC lime which has been spent by most of our members doing war work, our meetings have Dot been held regularly, llowever. now that conditio ns are gradually co ming back to their old basis, we hope to revive the interest in our meetings and in our work for the Settlement School. According to our last meetings, it will not be difficult to perform this task.
OUT first meeting (or this year was held in September at the home oC Mrs. C. L. Avery (Miriam lIunter, Illinois A. '(9). According to our usual program, we spent the afternoon sewing {or the Delginn refugees Carrie Brainard (Illinois B, '67), who was spending the winler in Peoria, Mrs. Ezra Radcliffe (Georgina Pugh, Illinois B, '14), of Galesburg, and l\1n. Thomas Oark (Ellen 'Vert, Illinois a, '16) were 'Very welcome guests of the afternoon. In February, we met at the home of Mrs Jesse Black (Minnie Weyrich, Tllinni!O A , '04) in Pekin. Again we sewed for the Belgians and had an in· formal discussion nbout n<I> in general. At this time we decided to have a cooky-shine at our n ex( meeting, as a relaxation after our war work.
Our last meeting was held in Marth, Mrs. C. G. Farnum (Alice Brotherson, Illinois A, '1)8) entertaining us at her beautiful new home on Pnrkside Drive After a most enjoyable cooky·shine, we held a business meeting Officers for the coming year were elected and mnny topi cs of interes t were discussed. Henceforth, we will have cooky-shines, whi ch were abandoned during the war, at each meeting for they seem to bring us closer together and make our meetings more attractive. Plalls were partially made for a card party to raise money for the Settlement School. ' Ve have no definite plans for the summer. \ Ve nre going to Galesburg to aUend their Founders' Day banquet. As Illinois a and Illinois n are the chapters of so many of our members, our trip will he doubly enjoyable.

As an alumnre club we have done no organized work but all our members have been very active in the many different lines of service. The war did not interfere with our club interests. Our pledges to the Settlement School, hospital, etc., have all been on time. This was possible through our budget system.

CoUtge opened late this year, as n consequence our first meeting was nOI held until the last of October, :and we planned to spend all our energies on Red CrOll work. The inlluenza made its appearance in November but nOI 5000 enough to prevent a meeting that month. Then came the quarantine which held up everything until the end of January. Since then we h3ve met regularlv Refugee work has been the order of the day on every OCCASion. In April, Mrs. Allen came to us with her Settlement School ,lides. It was a pleasure Ilnd privilege to sce them, to have visible evidence of the important work in whi ch we each have a share. It is also an aspiration and ' incentive to greater effort to have with a s, even (or a few hours, women as enthusiastic as Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Sigler. For Founders' Oay a joint committee of the alummr and active chapter arranged and carried through a very pleasant d i nner followed by lO me splendid toasts. About fifty were present. The occasion will linger long in our memories.
This year the active chapter has entertained the al umn tle at a reception, all initiations, and at a dinner. As indiv iduals and as a club our relations are cordial. The advisory committee has been met fully half way. the girls coming to them wilen ever there were difficulties and accepting the su ggesti ons made by them on most occasions. The one great difficulty an advisory co mm i ttee has is in retaining the viewpoint of youth. We forget that young people have a different outlook and that they may n o t be as thoughtful and sedate as we would like to have them and may have leu foresight, but as long as we can 1ft and understand their point of view, sympathy and helpfulness remain with the alumnoe-no longer.
With the re s umption of normal cond i tions the club hope s to be able to carry through some definite plan of w ork and to be more helpful to all with wh om we come in contact

Owing to the inlillenza quarantine and much sickness, our meetings were rather irregular and the attendance less than usual.

Mrs. Gilmore SWAne)" (MO'TY Firebaugh, Iowa A. 'n) had charge of the social hour ' for which she planned a unique co nversat.ion game. which gave each alumna opportuDity to converse with each college girl. Little blue book· lets tied with wine ribbon were given as favon.

Our meetings this year, owing to the mtlny necessary internll>lions, have not been held regularly. but we hav e tried to make them a8 spirited as they have always been. Mrs. George Vineyard (Mildred Bnrkley, Mi sso uri A, ex·' J7) very generously asked us to hAve all of our meetings nt h e r ce ntrally l ocated h ome At one nlreting we discussed the convention reports and at o ur Ch r ist· mas meeting we entertnined the pledges from the various chnpters home for Ch ristmas vacation.

The SL Louis Alumna! Club slarted oul very enth usiastically lui September with 11 ca lled meeting to arrange a lun cheon (or lhe aclive chapler and rushees at \Vashingto n Univc:r Hy. Th e lun cheon wa.s given and we all felt that we had made 3. good beginning (or a very s uccessful year. Then the in8uen:r.1l epidemic began Ilnd the consequent ban was put on meetings of all sizes and kinds so that we were not permitted to have Ilnot her meeting unlil the second Saturday in January. At that meeting' it WlIS decided to have an aclive campaign to revive the enthusinsrn for Pi Phi in fo me of our members who had drifted away because of war work and various other intereill. Girls hue been appointed to call on these members :Uld bring tbem II) o ur meetings. So far we have been quite s uccess ful and hope to hav e everyone out for our Founders' Day celebration.
This year, as usual, we are planning to have a banquet on April 26 in recognition of Founders' Dn). Since the war is over and everyone can be happy again, we ho:>c: to make this a regular prc-war alTair with all the joy of our old-tirae banc.tuets.
As a whole the St. Louis Alumn;l.! Club has done ill best in war work. We have knitted, made surgical dressings, sewed in our unit at the Red Cross Garment Shop, and helped in all of the campaigns that were carried on. Then we had (Iuite a number who were able to help in more unusual ways. One of our girls, Mary deGarmo. '12, was a dietitian (or six months in France. Lora Otto, '16, also went to France, where she is still serving as a clerk. We have been well represented in this co untry, too. field worker in the Hom e Service Department Mary Brotherton, '16, was a of the Red Cross. 101 ildred de Courcy, ' 13, and Margaret Fidler, ' 12, travded (or the Junior Red Cross establishing chapters in Texas and Missouri, respectively. Helen Stevens, 'IS, held a stenographic position with the Food Administration, and Meredith McCargo. '14, with the Red Cross.
Our program (or the year naturally was upset because o( the epidemic, but we have carried it out as best we could. The idea was to have a committee aj)I>ointed tor each meeting to take r, harge o( the entertainment after the busi · ness session. At one meeting we had a reading from the J1larle,. 0/ 'ht! b.,., (ollowed by lOme mu sic. At another, a class on the n• constitution was conducted. As far as we can judge (rom our brief experience, the plan was a s uccess.
In 'pile of the war, our interests in the Settlement School and the active chapter have not been interfered with. Our regular co ntribution was made to the Sett l ement School by assessing each member of the club, as that seemtd to be the most generally approved plnn. This year we establilhed a (urniture fund to help the active chapter refurnish their rooms. We also participattd in a which th ey gne for the rooms. The various members of the

advisory board have been attending ch3pter meetings and giving their help whenever needed. The active chapter g3ve a dance on February 14 to which the alumnlr club was invited and they, of co urse, will join us at our Founders' Oay banlJuet.

Our club hSI had :1 very succcSIi(ul yt3.r in spite of unsettled conditions. Our (or n while was much cut down by so mllny girls being away, as wen as by so many entering the busintss world at home. Nineteen o( o ur Ellumnre: went to Washington. Myrtle Hurt, 'JO, went east to become a cafeteria director at a hOltcn house at Quantico, Va., and Mrs. Robert Glynn (Lilian Boyd, '14) to the base h ospital at Lets, Va., to do bacterio!og'ica) work. But, by the fint of the yenr, we were able to begin regular meetings. We have met the fint Friday in each month from four until seven.
Our ye:u' s prolfum has been as follolttli: October, Red Cross; cooky-shine; December, Christmas Meeting; January, "Public Health and Nurse Allociation" i January 20, plnfy for 3Ctive chapte r and patronesses; Feb· ruary, Settlement School i March, lIistory and Constitution j April. examina· tion question,,; April 26, Founders' Day banqud; May, guelt d3Yi June, outing.
Last summer, as the Salvage Department of the Red Cross, we were able to contribute $75 in cash to the RfOd Cross, and 10 stake ourselves with ample funds to buy all material needed to carryon the sewing we wished to do, as our club constituted 3. Red Cross unit. We made Belgian layettes and also sewed for the Springfield Canteen Hospital. When this work was over, it proved to us that we could do "somdhing" as a club. beside just regular n 4work. so we have taken up the work of supplying linen ond clot h ing for the "Loan Closet" of the Public Health and Nurse Association.
We nre much interested in our active chapter , o ur relations being most friendfy. The advisory committee reported a very profitable meeting with the chapter on the bulletin issued by Grand Council. In Januory, we entertained the active girls and our patronesses with a thimble party at the home of Hazel Smith, "5.

With Thi 3 little effort of writing the letters and earning our dollan, together with a few contrib utions from ou r patroneues. whom we had asked to our meeting. knowing th ey would be intereste'd, and lome Baby Bonds we had. we were ab le to make a contribution or $100 to the School.

Our mettings continue to held in the evening. \Ve have had no set pre· gram, the meetings being mostly social , and we a ll take sewi ng. Ju st now au. knitters are a ll busy on work for th e European relief, and many of our memb e rs helped in the Red C ross gnrment making and old clothes drive. At our ea rly fait meetings we made tea · towels and wash-cloths for the Settlement Schoo!.
Last fall the alumna: took charge of the rushing parties for the active chap ter.
One of our members , Catherine Sedgwick, '02, is abroad doing welfare work for the Red C ros s. She worked in Paris for nearly a month and was then se nt to J er usa lem. At present she is nn investigator at Beir ut.
In additioo to our yea rly pledge of $15 to the Settlement School, our club has cleared about $qo from the sale of baskets and hand -woven coverlets from the seho()l. We plan to invest this money in n bond and present it to the school.
Founders' Day was celebrated May 3. with a banquet at the Lincoln H ote l attended by ninety-eight active and a lu mna! member s and o ut of t ow n g u ests. Mrs Arthur Richardson, chair man of the Settlement School, presided as toastmistress, Bess Burress Funk tlnd Florence Chapman Paetzold each gav e a group of songs, the freshmen gave a stunt; and Mrs . Allen, of C hicago, gave a talk on the Settlement illustrated with beautiful c olored steriopticon slides .
For seve ral days, at banquet time , we had ao exhibit of articles made at the schoo l on display in a prominent window in the shopping district. We hope this will arouse interest in the school and stimulate sales to people WllO are not Pi Phis as well as to au r own members.

For a time our meeting. were rather irregular on account or intlucIl%s, and through sickness and temporary absence from the city our active membership is smaller than usual, but iu spite of that we can truly say that we have spent a pleasant and profitable year.

Grectings from the aJumnll! club of Manhattan, Kan. In thinking over the personnel of our club. t am wondering if we do not enjoy a rather unique position. Naturally, an club, in a town where there. il loc:tted :l COUeic having an active chapter, would be compo5ed largely of of that chlpter, but at the present time our club has but one local collee-e alumna. We have eight members, two of whom are from the same chapter.
Our meetings have been rather few and far between durinc the last year, owing to the tact that we live in a city in close proximity to an army camp and there have been demands made on Ollr time constantly in behalf of the soldiers . So. along with the many other abnormal conditions existent for the past year, we lay the blame to the war.
We are sor r y to record the fact that our secretary. Mrs. Bushnell, the wife oC Professor Bushnell of the Kansas State Agricultural College, Bacteriological Department. is at the Mayo hospital for an operation Another member, Mrs. E. L. H o lton (Lilian Beck, Mnryland A, 'oS), always an enthusiastic U • and a leader in our alumnoe club. has been out of town for the past year, her husband having been absent in Europe, engaged in educational reconstruction work. We hope for her return soon.
Two of us older Pi Phis donned our best regalia and hied liS to Harrison Hall recently, where, "by the light of the moon," and to the (antastic strains o! "jan" music, we sat glued to our chairs until the Hwe sma' hours," in the dignified capacity of chaperons for the active chapte r ann ual Ifspring party." We love to do these things for the girls as they really seem appreciative.
On Founders' Day we held a banquet at the Gillette Hotel. We bad two such interestina n '¢J guests: One, Mrs. R. E. Duffield (Alice Trent, lowa B, '00), whose bQ-sband was sent to France AS lieutenant with a pioneer regiment, is now doing war camp community service at Junction City, Kan. The other, Noelie Mistrot, Virginia .A, "4, an nlumn a. of Roanoke College, Lynchburg. Va., whose home is in Galveston, Texas, had been sent only three or four days before, to the Reconstruction I-io-spital at Fort Riley. She knew, were we true to our trsditions, there should be "something doing" at the college on or Dear Founders' Day, so sbe telephoned over to the girls and was told nbout the banquet which the active chapter and alumnre club were having. \Ve were 1\11 delighted to make her acquaintance and were hap py that we co ul d contribute to her an evening of pleasure among friends.

The first meeling of the year was held at the home o( our president." Mrs. Alfred Frost (Leni Nicholson, Kansas A, '99). At this meeting we decided. during the war, to meet at the Red Cross rooms (or work and to hold our social meetings during the Christmas holidays. Our next meeting was held in November with Mrs. Pratt. In January, our cooky·shine was held at the home of Mrs. Edwin Campbell (Dorothy Porler, Kansas A, '15). Our next meeting was held with Jean Lindsay Baxter, Kansns A, '17. This was (oil owed by a business meeting at Gladys Guild's home. \Ve were very much pleased to have lIazel Carson, our new Province President, as the honor guest at a luncheon and to receive her suggestions.
We are regretting very much the loss of Mrs. Alfred Frost, who is moving to Kansas City, Jane ' Kingnn, who h3S moved to Trinidad, Colorado, nnd Jean Lindsay Baxter. who will live in Knnsas City. \Ve nre looking forward to having two new members, Mrs, Fred Penfield (Edna Jones, Kansas A.

The Austin Alumnae Club has bad one of the mOlt succcsiful yearl in i t s history. We have had • membership of twenty -five and our meetings, the fint Saturday in each month, have been well atte.nd e d.
The committee which had charge of making the program for the meetings has provided varied and intere l ting lubjects. Among the molt interesting were the report from convention by Emily Maverick Miller, Theta Province Vice · president; National Panhellenic, I Is History and Recent Rulings ; The PhilAn · thropic Funds of Pi Phi, What They Are and How Used; and Th e Seulement School, Its Progress in the Last Two Yean.
We have had the pleasure of having two active chapter girls of Texas A at each meeting. This keep. us in closer touch with our fraternity locally as well as nationally.
This year it was impossible to have our annual Christmas ssle which we have for the benelit of the Settlement School on account of the influenza epidemic. However, we sent $40 to the school. We have al!io given several Imall gifts to the local chapter. Ou r pilln is now to set aside one half 'of our yearly dues toward paying the expenses of Il delegate from the alumnlr: club to convention

We feel Ihnt the past year hns been the most su('cesdul one in the history of our alumna:: club. \V3.1" activities have cln im ed our individual attention as well as thai of th e co llective group. It has been our efTo rt to keep in touch with, and t o perform, our usual fraternity obligations and at the same time· do our part toward uwin ning the war,"
W e have {oHewed the plan of o ur r egu lar meetings as out1ined at the beginning o f the year, thai is, with a lunch eon the first Saturday in each month To these meetings we invit e IIVO r epresentatives from active chapter nt the Southe rn :t.'fethodist University and in that manner we keep in touch with them. They ill turn inclu de us in their cooky-sh ines as well as initiations. Except during the inl1uenza epidemic, we hnv e not mi ssed a m ee ting; during holid ays we had a banfluet and included all Pi Phis in town.
As wns planned at this lime ln s t yenr we have dO"ne our part in connection with T exas U toward buying the Liberty Bor.d for the Settlement School. Recently we ensily co ll ected $50 f or the.

It is our pleasure to have in Dallas an I. C., Mr s Clayton (Belle McCannJohnson, Iowa E, '&2), who occasionally meet s with us. She is a c harming and g rac ious as one always pictures members of that honored group.

During the summe r session of the University of Arhnsas. our club held informal weekly meetings for the benefit of state alumnre who were attending summer scb'ool and who were not so located that they cou ld attend Pi Phi alumnre club meetings in the winter.
Our first meeting after the closing or summer school was held November IS . at the home of Marion Gladson-Ratliff. 'IS. in Fayetteville.

Before the members of Arkansas A arrived for the cooky shine on Founders' Day. we devoted the greater part of our meeting 10 a thorough fraternity quiz, based upon this years examination questions.

Alth o ugh our s umm er plans are sti ll indefinite, we expect to try weekly meetings once more, as we expect many IT cI> alumnre to attend summer school.
W'e were able to purchase two Baby Bonds for the Settlement School with the thrift stamps brought by members to the summer and faU meetings.

The New Orleans Alumnre Club has just been organized, o r more properly speak ing, rcorganizcd this year. The New Orleans alumnre have gathered together several tiUles ,I,.ltll th e idea of forming a club. but there never has been a cha rtered o rganization. This year at the urgent request of the president of Ihe active chapte r, we dedded to try again 3l1d our first step in forming the club wns an application for a charter, which, unfortunately, has not as yet been received.
Soon after the formation of our club we had occasion to be very thankful for its existence as the fraternities at Newcomb were in danger of being evicted from the co llege and the alumnre were ca lled upo n to do a great deal of advising and discussing. The situation was practically put into the hands of the alumna! and organization helped to facilitate matters
. In connection with the fraternity situation at Newcomb, we had the pleasure of a visit from our c harming Pr es ident Emeritus. Miss Keller.
We have had four club meeting at which the n eeds of the active c hapter and our own organization hav e been discussed: We have also had two extra meetings of the advisory board to discuss rushing and pass upon the prospec,

live pledges. A member of the advisory board has been present at a of the actiV'c c hapter meetings and there has been a member of the club acting on the aiumnre investigation committee, whic h has charge of the unsettled fraternity situation at Newcomb. There has been good attendance at Panbellenic meetings, of which IT <I> is in charge this year.
It was decided at our first mee ting that we should have another aim in life apart from the natural r eq u irements of a club, so every Tuesday afternoon II has a gauze work table in the workroom of the Charity Hospital Auxiliary We mak e surgical dressings in order that the nurses may have more time to devote t o their patients.
We have had very little to do with the rushing at Newco mb this year as the rules there are so I;tringen t that the girls need no financial aid. As there is no ru s hing off tbe campus they can not even make use of our homes.
We intend to celebra te Founders' Day by having a banquet for alumna! and active members at one of the French r estau rants downtown. This w;n be the only real entertainment given this ye3r as war times and rushing rules have dampened the party spirit.
We will have one or two meetings after April 28 to complete our obligations as an alumnre club, but our plans for the summer are indefinite.
All of the New Orleans alumna! have done their share toward winning th e war "'Ie have cont ributed to every imaginable type of activity, having mem· bers in clerical work, nursing, canteens, motor corps, Red Cross work, social fiie rvice , knitting work, benefits, and d rive s.
Four of our number are serving or hav e served overseas. Celeste Janvier, '06, has jus t returned home after ha"ing seen service over there with the Johns H opkins Unit. Mrs . J. C.

In September we met wi th Mrs. C harl es Myers (Clnra Strong, Washingt o n .A. ' 14). a t whi ch time plans (o r the yenr were discussed and o ur various activities outlined. W e were told of the work that our n cJ> R ed C r oss Auxiliary had done a nd were urged to continu e o ur l oynl s uppo rt.

\Ve were compelled to omit our November meeting as Seattle was under the inRuenza ban at that time. In December we held our meeting in the interest of the active chapter and 85 has customary for several yurs past it was a cooky-shine and Christmas tree held at the chapter house with the active girls. There were many good things to eat, of course, and everyone had a good time, nnd a generous contribution was turned over to the girls to be used in purchasing something for the house.
}nnuary found us at the home of Mrs. Harwood (Clara Prosser, Illinois Z, '.6), engaged in a study of the constitution.
One of the best attended meetings of the year was held in February at the home of Mrs. W. P. Gorsuch (Augusta TunniclilTe, 111inoi5 A. '(0). We were entertained. in a most delightful manner by Professor Gorsuch of the Department of Dramatic Art o( the Univer&ity of \V.ashington, who read (or us one of Moliere's plays.

In March, we had a thimble party at th"! home of Mrs. Dyer (Mary Yeisley, Iowa 1', '(0), and our April meeting was held at the Women's University Club and was strictly A business meeting for the election of officers, reports of committees, etc.
We are looking forward to our Pounders' Day banquet nt the Hotel Sorrento. \Ve were to have had it on April 26, but it has been postponed until May 10 in order that Mrs. Tannahill, who will be in the city 31 that time, may be our guest.
In accordance with our regul.:tr custom, our June meeting will be a picnic.
Our Red Cross Auxiliary is to do its bit. The number of Pi Phis actually engaged in the work of the auxiliary has been rather small, for many of us have felt that we could render better service by working in the auxiliaries close to our homes, but most of us have contributed in a small wny, at least to its financial support and we are all grateful to the members who have kept this work going and also to a number of the IT 4' mothers who have been very faithful in their attendance.
W1e have been sorry to lose some of our good members who have moved away from the city, but we have also hnd the pleasure of welcoming a number of new Pi Phis to our midst. \ Ve nre happy to have with us again Mrs. F lor· ence Denny Helliker, Maryland A, '02, who hn.s returned from overseas service with the French government.
Although our work has been interrupted to some extent by sickness, and though ·war activities have demanded much of our energy and time, yet we feel thnt, on the whole, our club has enjoyed a very successful year. \ Ve are looking forward wilh enthusiasm to next year when we hope that all things will again be normal.

The wOl'k of the Spokane Alumna! C lub was of necessity curtaiied this year owing to the ban which was plnced on all gatherings while the influenza epidemic was at its height. As an orgAnization, we have done no war work. In dividua lly, howe\'er, all of the members have worked conscientio usly and diligently wherevt'r they w e re most needed . No club, perhaps, has been enti rely free f r om war influ e nce . . \ Ve in Spokane have had a little less tim e t o give to II :l little l ess money than formerly. W ith the resumption of normal conditions the future of our club looks very bright indeed, {or interest and enth usiasm are not lacking. This year our Settlement Schod funds were raised by assessments. It seems the only feasible plan unti l the time comes when a dimi nish ed number of udrives" makes other means practicable.
Our meetings are r egularly held the last Saturday of each month a t the homes of the club members This year the hostesses have se rv ed a one o'clock luncheon, then provided Red Cross sewin" for th e afternoon. Our program each meeting has been devoted to some subject of national interest, including Pi Phis in internationa l service, the study of the constitutio n , the Settlement School, and review of books by Pi Phis The June meeting is alw ays devoted to our two nearest chapters, Washington A and ' Vashington B. Ou r Founders' Day ce l ebratio n will be very informal. 'liVe plan to have a six o'clock dinner at the home of one of the members.
The Spokane club is very proud to number among its associate members our Grand Pre si dent , Mrs. Tannahill. We have been promised a visit by her some t i me this spring to which we nre eagerly looking forward

The officers Jisted above (orm the governing hoard of the club which trAnI:U.:tli the club businen. 1\ plan we have tcsted !>everal yurs and found highly su c cessful.
Like, probably, the majority of dubs all over the country. during this past year, our performan ces have not equalled our previous arrangements. \Ve beg:m nobly-all through last summer a group in SliD Francisco and one in Oakland and Berkeley hewed for the French refugees. This sewing was completed. packed, and shipped early in the fall, and numbered sixteen complete garments for adults and eighty-one for children.
Our August meeting W35 devotf'd to the study of the constitution and th e history of the fratfrnity, followed by a "war benefit" cooky-shine, which netted a neat sum toward the French sewing fund.
The September meeting, our annual rush lea (or California B, was largely and enthusiastical1y attended. A contribution of about $36 was sent at this time to the Armenian and Syrian rellef.
Octobe r's meeting was to be a musical ana a war benefit, and November's a large bazaar at which we expected to make several hundred dollars for th e Settlement School. But, :t la s, the influenr.a struck us about the first of October and a ban was placed on all public gatherings, which lasted till the first of December.
We renewed our courage, however. and h eld 3. Christmas party at the California B .:hapler- hnuse on December 14. Presents and money were donated to the Settlement School :u this time, and the result was several gifts .md a considerable urn of mOlley for the purchase of more gifts and for shipping e.'tpenses of our Christmas box-no inconsiderable item from CaHfornia to Gatlinburg.
Christmas week we provided for a needy family of eleven persons a Christmas dinner sulfitient to feed them for two weeki.
In January th e b!ln. due to a recurrence of influen7.8, again fell on public meetings so we were compe ll ed to abandon o ur vaudeville for the benefit of the American wounded. In February ahio, we were not able to give our usual Settlement School benefit party. But the national fraternity wu asking (or funds for the Settlement Sch oc l, the Fund. and the War Work committee . Being unable to mise money by benefits we sent ou t a letter to n il our possible members 3sking them to support th ese worthy projects. The ca ll was nobly met; to date we have received $uS and the responsel are still coming in.
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
In March we were able to r es um e o ur activities nod held n very s u cccss ful reunion card party. where after the unfortunate conditions of the past winter we were rejoiced to meet again.
Our Founderi' Day ce lebra ti on is t o be a lun cheon at the P a lace H ole l, San Francisco, on April ,6. We always draw Pi Phis from all ovu the state to that event and we l ook forward t o meeting and welcoming many n ew-comers This year our expectations nre grenter than uIual, for Mrs. Tannahill. o ur well-beloved Gralld President, is t o be with u s And speak t o us on the (uture work and puq>osel of Pi Phi.
Our last regular mee ting for th e club yenr i s always an o ut -o C·door party in May. This year it will be a cabaret lun c h eon, co n ducted at her h ome by Mrs. Stan ley nichardson (Roberta Roberts, Ca lifornia A. '(9)
To date we h ave held but four of our origina ll y planned eight meetings, and though we were forced to abandon, through the epidemic, most of our plans for war work both as individuals and as a unit. sti ll we feel it ha s been far from an unsuccessful year. WJlat we have accomplished has been trul y worth while-we have learned to se rve-and through it all we have: held together with Il renewed interest.
'War activities did n ot se riou sly interfere with o ur work, because, we lJelieve. of th e club's extensive p l ans fQr mobilization ou r members for war work. and because our entire year's program as outlined in our year· book issued in August, was a series of benefits for worthy puq)Qses. Everyone seemed very deepiy intereliled and desirous of doing his part. indeed we can truly say the war drew us together more closely than ever before.
Always the interests of the Settlement School have been to the fore in the mind s of the club members . "No matter how great the dema nd s of th e war the Settlement School is Pi Phi's own way of serving and we must contin u e to support it as loyall y as before."
Practically every dub member worked for the R ed Cross or $G me si mil ;lf organiza ti on and many devoted all o r most of their time to it. W e sent two workers ac r oss to France, one , Edith \V hite, Ca lifo rnia B , '07, who headed the first Woman'. Motor Unit from S:m Francisco . Unfo rtunat ely Edith did not h ave long to serve for s h e was stricken with spi n al meningitis and died in .March of this year at Ctulu.mont, France, loved by all who knew her . Lou Ri ce. California ll , ex-' 15, sailed to France in the fall of 19 18 to w o rk :among France'S unfortunate chi l dren.
Mrs. J ack Hunt er ( H ele n Graves, W tlshingto n A, '07) wns in charge of a Red C ross supp l y depot in San Francisco and was to be sent abroad. but the a rmi stice intervened.
Charlotte. W atters, California B, registered as a Red Cross nurse (or duty in France and was accepted, but the armistice prevented her sailing.
Now that th e need for war work is diminishing we hope to find some work which will t.ake its place in our interest and be as worth while.
In closing we wish to urge that all Pi Phis in Califo rni a north of Bakersfield will get in touch with us. \Ve are desirous of meeting all newcomers and gaining ideas from them for the adva ncemen t of the club.

Like other clubs the counlry over, our report of things accomplished during the past year mUll be brief, owing to the prevailing unsettled conditions, bul the number of things hoped for throughout the coming year is f:lr (rom small.
It h:u been fortunat e ind t!ed f or us ihnt Mrs. T:mn!lhill h:u spent 1 0 mu c h of her time in Los AngeJu this winter, and the of her wise counsel and kindly advice will be felt long after she has gone elsewhere. lIer sincerity, her earnestness, ,md her loyally to IT n+ are an inspiration to all who are privileged to heRr her tnlk.
After our first meeting in September at the home of Mrs. Babcock, we were not able to hold any more meetings on account of the severity of the epidemic during the winter month,. The February and March meetings, however, were permitted, and were held in the chapter house.
At the first meeting made Red Cross head-dresses which were taler turned over to the College Women's Club, and sold for the benefit of the Red Cross. The members of our club also spent definite time sewing for Red CrO!l!l under the direction of the College Women's Club .
One of our members, Genevieve Church Smith, \Visconsin A, '98. is engaged in canteen WOrk in FrtlJlce. She is greatly missed in the club and we shall be glad to welcome her when she rc:turns.
At the last meeting we enjoyed a most interesting talk by Mrs. Tannnhill, coverin2' important TulinRs made at the last convention. an outline of th,. redistricting of provinces, lind plans for new ways of developing and strengthening lhe fraternity.
The club maintains its interest and suprort of the Settlement School in spite of war work nnd unsettled conditions, and the new system of p l edging subsc r iptions for five years in ndv/mce is working very satis(acto r ily. We wil l contribute abo u t OUT usual amount to the schoo l this year.
The 3dvisory committee spent Il very profitable and most enjoyabl e afternoon with Mrs. Tannahill at the home of Mrs. C. E Carver (Flora Sigler, Jowa B, '')8), and (eel very grateful to our Grand President (or all her suggestions for he l p to the active chapter . The cooperation between the chapter and the alumn:le is growing stronger all the time and we all gain a grent denl (rom the close association.
The membership o( the alumna: club is not as large as it shou l d be, as the interests o( the re8ident Pi Beta Phis b:lve become scattered, but active plans are being made to 1"II.I1y old members nnd secure new ones. All resident Phi Phis Are urged to attend the meetings, and help build up the club to more

than its former strength, nnd all visiting Pi Phis nre sure of a sincere wei · come.
On l\farch 22 the alumnre club and California r were joint ho s tesses at a reception given f o r Mrs :"' Tannahill at the chapter·house. Three hundred invitations were issued and the house was very comfortably filled during the receiving hours. A number of smaller social affairs have been given for our Grand Presi de nt during he r stay by various members of the club, and h e r visit in Lo s Ange les hns been (ull of pl e nsure Dud profit for all who have met her. May h e r success as our Grand ])residen t grow ever greater, and may this next year of reconstruction along every line bring its share of strength :md growth to Pi Beta Phi.

The influenza has interfer ed with the work of the Nevada Alumnre Club this year. During most of the first semester the camp us was quarant ined, ' wh ich prevented the alumnlJe from keeping in close tou ch with the active chapter. No regular meetings of the club could be held until F eb ruary.
Especially has the war interfered with plans for raising money for the Settlement School. There have been so many ca uses to whi ch people felt they must subscribe, so many benefits given for war activities, that it hn, been impossib l e to make any organized attempt to raise money for the Sett l ement Schoo l, aside from the usual pledge of one dollar per member from the club. Next year, however, the Nevada alumna! club intends to bring th is work before all of its members throughout the state and systematize its efforts. A member of the club who is in close touch w : th all the active and alumnre members here has been appointed to take magazine s ubscription s. and we .h ope to secure good results from this.
Instru c tive and interesting programs have been arnnged for each mee t ing, and questions whi c h arise in connection with the active chapter, such as Pan· hellenic difficulties, etc., are discussed. This benefits both the active chapter and the alumnre club, and keeps them in closer touch with each other.
The alumnre have been looking forward to Mrs. Tannahill 's visit just as eagerly as has the active chaptcr-, and have enjoyed it as muc h . \Ve all feel that her visit has encouraged and strengthened us. The alumnlJe club h e ld a reception in Mrs. Tannahill's honor at the home of Mrs. P. A. Hawkins (Myrtle Ziemer, Colorado .A. '95).
Several parties were given during Mrs. Tannahill's visit, j ust the week before Founders ' Day, and due to the fact that Founders' Day came during college examination week. the regular banquet was not held, but the fiftysecond anniversary was celebrated by a cooky·s:hine.

The college year is drawing to s dose, and we hnrdly can reali£c that
soon must gin up our IOplenriid seniors. Four of them will be in the c ity next year, and we hope to ha\'c them drop in often.
Amid the buming of midnight electr:city, in preparation for th e approaching ex.aminations, it does not appropriate to have a fraternity dance. but o ur chapter is planning one for April It. We were unable to arrange it earlier, Ilnd a large formal dance see med necessary, in this year of reawakening social activities. Our list oi chaperons includes the president of the university, Sir Robert Falconer, Lady Falconer, and the dean of women, Miss Liv· ingstone. To o ur great delight, Mrs. Puff, o ur Province Preside nt, and Ruth Inm an. of New York r, are going to be with us, and a number of the alumnte are coming back, so the dance will be a glorious success.
We are all so happy over our new pledge, Josephine Stagg, '22, who was pledged April g. J o is an exceptionally fine g i rl, Rnd is deep l y interested ill th e aims and work of IT D q..
In order to aid the present system of rushing, local Paohellenic has decided to give a tea at the opening of the college year, for all the freshmen, in order to acquaint them with a ll the fraternity girls.
In many ways the univer s ity is reviving much of its pre-war spirit. The intercollegiate games in b:ukttball, etc., are being ht:ld with the galleries full oC cheering st u dents But we cannot forget those who used to back the co ll ege sports with such enlhusium, and who will never do SO again. Preparations are heiDe made for a memorial arch, to be placed on the campus, in honor of the university men, 60.;, who gave their all in the service of their co untry. All the fraternities wish to cooperate in this ca use, in order to make their contributioos as generous as possible.
Sioce the war. we have bad to be content with a single room for our chapter meetings and cooky-shines, but next year we are h'oping to have an apartment. Some of our alumnz, as well as some o{ the active girls, will live in it, a.nd we wjll feel much more independent than we have before.
Throughout the year, Ontllrio A has en'deavored to raise ber standard, both socially and along the lines of scholarship, and we {eel that ' 918-'9 has been " most SUCCf:ssful year {or our chapter> in every respect.

When Mrs. Carrie Chapman CaU, president of th e N at ional Wom'an', Sut (rage Association, and Mrs Wilson, the secretary, were in tbe city to attend a mft ling of the State League, K A e and II B gave a tea sa that all the girls in co llege might meet th em.
A co urse of classes (or the purpose o f training leaders of "eight weeks clubs" to be organized in the ,umm !! r has arranged under the direetion of the V. W. C. A. of the national board, field secretaries and local leaders will conduc t Ihe classes. It is sincerely hoped that some of our Pi Ph is may have the opportunity of se rving in this work this summer.
Plans (or our annual gymnasium exhibition nre being made. Folk·dancing and apparatu ; work will b: the main features. Th e last two of these exhitiitions have been parCelilarly successf ul. Since a. prevented the exhibition fr om taking pl.:ace last year we a re looking forward to this one with II good ' bit of interest.
Dorothy Mc Mahon, 'u, is vice president of her class and Ruth Chapin, '22, is secretary .
Even this late in th e college year, there is s till occasionally the opportunity to welcome back to classes men from oversens. In May, Dr. Benton will return an d we can not tell you h ow royally he will be received Mildred Best, I J 7. who went across in J anuRry is n ow his private secretary.
News has been received that Mrs. EVIL BurlinKham Puff, our Province President , will visit u s in a few days. Only the seniors have had the oppor· tunity to know her except through her letters, so the chapter anticipates great pleasure in her visit.

"Women's fraternities" is the main topic at Swarthmore With the signing of the armistice and the dismissa l of the S. T. A. C. we thought conditions would soon become norDlal, but although the antifraternity agitation has reached the high wnter mark, nothing; definite has been decided and the conrerenees between Ihe two parties still continue.
During the W3r the iaculty dissolved our glee club all the departmental clubs in which the non fraternity girls took part. Because of the lack 'of such organiulions fraternities have been placed in the foreground We reali ze this is a defect, nnd we have several other defects which are of such a nature that a vital and permanent remedy is necessary.
We do not want to see fraternities abolished from SWllrthmore, which in the minds of the fraternity girls is the only solution but we do propose a p lan or rather a remedy for present conditions, namely that fraternities take II. back seal in college !l.ctivilies nnd allow other activities to assume their pre'war promi· nence.
Turning aside from the antifrnternity question (or a little while we will mention a few things that have happened this semester Ethelwyn Bower is back at Swarthmore assisting in the mathematical department \Ve are very proud of " ,Winnie," (or she just received her A.B. degree here last winter . \Ve affiliated Ruth Bruenningl!!r (rom Columbia A at the beginning of this semester.

X 0 ins t a ll ed a chapter at Swarthmore April 5, 1919. taking in the local org!lniution •• :!., which was founded here only a year ago and is the beg;n· ning of a strong nationnl chnpter. On April 9 o ur Pan hellenic associntion g:lVe II. tea for all girls in college in honor of the Chi Omegas. This brought all the nonfratemity and fraternity girls together. a situation which has been lacking the past yea r
Taking conditions of the college as a whole, things are not very favornble 3t present, but in the midst of this trouble Mrs. Nickerson came to our aid and left us with sueh encourag('ment that we hope conditions will soon be normal and we're doing our beu to keep Pennsylvania A on the map.
Spring at Bucknell is just about as perf«t as one CQuid imagine, and to ),ou who have bun hue this f:tatement needs no further exphtnation. And this spring is guing to be no exception to the general rule! A. far as college is concerned, things nrc running along quile smoothly and the "perfect peace" which pervades everything is quite unlike the unrest characteris ti c of the first part of the year. We arc .11 anticipating Commencement Day, June 24, whieh is to be onc of the greatest events. that has taken place in twenty -R ve yean , Dr. lIarri became president. (or on thnt d,y, Dr. E. W.

H owever, wonderful things. are booked to happen under the new regime. A campaign to raise million dollars i, about to be launch....-] and the improvements prOl>05ed llimost too good to be true.
On F ebr UllrY 4, Did Day, the biggest event of the year in the world, took place, Ilnd as u.!l unl we took wh:lt we wanted. \Vh at we may lac k in quantity we more than made lip for in quarty. Perhaps you would like to know who they are. There are some whose names might be familiar to you! There's Mar) Sholl, Helen Kitlowski, Charlotte Pett'rs, Clara Washilewski. and Peg Abbot, everyone, well-just fine. The maj ority of our town .Iumnre S()CDI Bid Day with us lmd Dr. Ma ry Wolfe, '95 , acted as toastmistress.
Despite everything which made it so difficult for anything to be ft success, we feel that our n 4a chapter has a most profitable year. The fraternity spirit here hall been almost idea l and Panhelleni c has had few or no disturbing things with which to contend. A new loca l , 11 2:, just r ece ntly announced itself, and at once started to pe tition a naHMal fraternity, although they are not yet ready to announce to us what ther are seeking
W e "njoyed having Mrs. Nickerson with us in Janu3ry, and it needless to say how much \y-e were benefited by her visit.
We have, however, met with a misfortune in the 1055 of Peg Buck, who, having enough points t o graduate. left college this term.
We are quite proud of the fact that Mr s Christy Mathew son is o ur newest n.. pattoness She has been spending some t ime in Lewisburg, while Mr. Mathewson, who needs no introduction to most oC you, has been in France.
And so ends :mother year! May you all ha ve the hal)piest kind of a vaca· tion.

With the close of this semester, our university ends an eventful year. II has seemed very short to us for our influenza quarantine lasted six weeks. Of course the S. A. T. C. unit hns been demobilized here as elsewhere. Many of the old students ha\'e returned, many coming with the Univenity Base Hospital T.'e nly seven, which sa.w 50 muc h service in France. Pitt is very proud of the tine record of the unit whicnwRli highly commended by those in 11 position 10 know. On the campus now we are only reminded of the war by Ihe recon· struction course which all are required to take. The course is divided into three parts, one deals with the problems of reconstruction in the economic world, another with those in the historical, and the last with those in the literary world. Next year Pitt expects to have an R. O. T. C. unit.
The local Pan hellenic Association has had a very busy year. Sophomore rUlihing was discussed at practically every meeting but was finally voted down. Rushing next year will last nhoui eight weeks, the exact date to be fixed later. Good fellowship among the vnrious fraternities has been encouraged steadily. The a ssoc i:ltion has bac ked the hon o r system whi c h some nre struggling very hard to establish at the university. The annual fo rmal Pan hellenic dance will be held April
Our chapter has enjoyed itl first year in 0 as greatly as we possibly could. We have not only enjoyed it but we know each girl has profited . We have had many enjoyable social functions . Our rushing parties, one a danet, the other Il bridge luncheon at the home of the president of the alumna: club, were very successful. Mrs Ni cke rson's visit to us in February is one of the most pleasa.nt memories of the year.

making up our first term's work, we began our lieCond term We are now in the mid .. t of examinations, at the close of which we will have a short Easter vacation. OUf spring term will end in lime for us to celebntc the Fourth of July at home.
Agne. Wright, our only senior and our efficient pres ident, graduates April 18. 'Vc al weU as the whole college will miJiS her tnihusialilm and leadership very much. Since sbe il wearing :I. man:. fraternity J!in. we doubt whether she will engage in teaching.
One Saturday in March we entertained our resident nlumn::e at ten at the home of PeCliident Campbell. The pledget' production oC their original songs was the hit of the afternoon. OUf formal dimlcr for our men friend. came Aprils at the home of Mr. and Mn. Sehee, parents o( two members of our chapter. Our clever toastmistress was Mrs. Otis G. Lipperacott (Grace Moss, '13), whom we are ,lad to have in Indi:lnob. during her IHulland's oversC8s service.
We h:lVe two new pledges, Ruth and Margaret Kirkendall of Corning, Iowa. Our pledges recently entertained us at a lovely dinner at the home oC Harriet Scroggs, '2:2. TJley pl:m to entertain the pledgei of the oIlier girls' fraternities soon.
At the c l ose of tbe basketb:tll &eason six of us were admitted to the US" Club. We feel that tbis iii Quite nn honor since the club has only thirteen members. Vera Dickens is fmance chairmnR of tbe new Y. W. C. A. cabinet and Blythe Clayton i, president of the newly organized education club. Winnilred Seay was on the debating team this year with H arriet Sc r oggs as alternate. Of the six represer.tative women selected by the vote of the student body two were Pi Phi,: Agne. WriKht, '19, and Vera Hollowell, Blythe Clay ton attended the National Student Conference at Evanston.
O ur campus will lOOn be the scene of busy building preparations, for we are to have a fine new administr31ion building. With Ihis boost, th e addition of a department of bu iness ndministrlltion and a much enroilment, we expect Simpson to be on the boom next year.

After t o short weeks of vacation at Christmas, the girl, came back to noticubly better condition.. The fraternities opened their house. again, p3rti es commenced, a.nd our two colored waiters ca me bad:. For lOme time two of the girls had volunteered their service in th:s capaci ty as war sacrifice.
Since our lut AIlROw we have had some II + relative. with us, Eliubeth Lut&'. mother Will bere during spring vacation; Helen Hayes" and Dorothy DowdeU'1i mothers are here now, and Mrs. Hart. an alumna.
We seeDi determined to have our share of this world', excitement. Several weeki ago the fire department again came clanging up to the house to put out the fire. Someone had sent in a false alarm, for no blaze could be: found. Then Je veral days ago a couple of the girl s were leated in the por(.:h !>wing when the ceiling boards gave way without warning One girl was given :l sliaht scalp wound by a falling board, but aside from this a.nd a bath in pluter, there were no casua lti es.
We initiated on April 9 and o ur happineu was doubled in having Mrs. Allen and Mn. Sigler, our Province President. with us. Several of our Cedar Rapid s were here also. After the ceremony we had a ph.te·lap dinner; and later Mn Allen showed u s the sHdes of Little Pigeon. ,
O ur chapter·house has not been all that it should be' in the matter of furnitur e. so we h ave written our alumn:l: advi!ing them of our desires to "rejuvenate" and oC o ur inability to meet the whole oC the expense ourselves. With what the girls in the house have donal'ed we've started with a new davenport in the c hapt er·room.
Th e o wner oC the bou se ha s agreed to put hardwood Boo'r. in at least three o f th e downstain r ooms, and we hope, by tact Cui management to have th em in the other two rooms.
We are giving a formal dancing party on May 16, at the Jeffe rson Hot e l. We h ad planned on going to Ceda r Rapids and holding it at the lI otel Montrose, but the faculty socia l committee, after giving iu ptrmillion suddenly "right ·about Caced" and said we couldn't. Our invitations were already made, but the F. S, C, r e fused to re co n side r
JU I t two sh o rt monlhs until commencement, when we lose some of our best l oved girls: gi rls who have stood for tbe highest thiDgs, and whose very presen ce among u s l ed us forward toward the things that co unt. They have given us the incentive to "peg away," and as Lincoln said:
"Keep pegging away For pluck, not luck, will win the day; And he wh o will, not he who w() n't Will go a h ead and reach the frail!."

The Rake Day, which the college h:.! every year, was a great IUcCtSS The weather was fine and the C3.mp us looked splendid when the boy. had finished 1heir w ork.
The whole coll ege is a.nticipating Mother's Day, which is to be May 10 All the mothers are guests ol the college that day and we hope they will enjoy their visit. Every organi:.a tion is planning some means of entertainment for the mothers.
W e hav e been having 1\ general h o use-c l ea ning this spring . The walls of our room have been tinted n light ta and "the fl oo r looks much better alter a fresh coat of paint. The girls had a hard time paiating the floor but it was worth the trouble. When we get the new draperies up and the pictures on the walls our home will be complete.
After the lraternity examination a represent!llive from each class met with the alumna: club to talk over the questions. The meeting h eld at Murle Coon's home was enjoY!lble.

How Quickly time rolls by! The June chapter t eHer i. due and tbat reminds one that there are only six more week. of work By relurning to our old plan oC semesters, and h a ving a shortened spring vacalion of but three day., we are going to be able to end the college year on May 24. instead of later .. we had thought on account of the I'flu tl vacation last fall Even now we are looking (orwud to next year and have counted the number of girls who are lurely comi ng back. We are quite delighted to find that we have such a large number.
Since the last let.ter, we have beel) very fortunate in pledging live wo.derful freshmen: Cleta Harrington, O'Neill; Ethel Nimmo, Cheyenne, Wyo.; Mildred Kinney, Cheyenne. Wyo .; \Veathers, Co!umbru, Ga.; Esther Wilmoth, Lincoln, Neb. It took Itrenuous rushing on our Plut, as they were very much sought after, but in the end we won. and everyone admits that n swept the campus. \Ve feel e lated and more hopeful in regard to our rushing ne'Xt fall, which also to be a difficult season. We have had initi2tion for seven of our freshmen, and are happy to know that they are really truly Pi Phis. The initiation ceremony il always so beautiful and 10 inspiring, and we certainly tried our best to have it as wonderful as possible. The usual cooky-shine followed initiation at which a number of the alumnae were present. We were exceedinglt sorry that Gertrude Patttrson, one of our star freshmen in scholnrship as well as in other lines, was unable to be initiated with the others, but owing to an accident last Janu!lry, she broke the bone above her ankle. Because of the length of time she was in the hospital, she was forced to withdraw from the university W e remembered her with Rowers the day of initiation, March !U, but really we preferred to pin an arrow on instead.
During the last part of February, we were favored with a visit from o ur Province President, Haz.el Carson. Her stay with us proved to be very instructive and helpful. \Ve accepted plans for increasing our participation in campus activities and for raising our scholarship standa rd. The freshmen and juniors compete with the sophomores and seniors for the highest grades, the to treat the winn e rs to a cooky-shine. So fu we have found these new ideas (0 be of great help (0 us, and are awaiting next faU when Miss Carson will visit us again. We were sorry her visit cou l d nol be longer, but while she was here we tried to have her meet girls from other fraternities. and to show her as much of ca mpus life as possible. On Thursday after her arrival, the c hapter for her and for our chaperon, Mrs. Eberly. The next night the freshtnen gave a St. Patrick's party which was one Qf the best house dances of the year.
Since spring ncati,," we have been busily engnged in making our plans for the formal and the banquet whicn come May 2 and May J. Many of our

as well as rushees will be h e re then. Our Lincoln alumnz, take so much interest in our affairs that they 3rt: planning a tea this year for the guests. \Ve arc also planning (or our M oth ers' Day in May, and we are expecting m.any of our mothers to be he re then.
We are quite interested and pleased with plans that are .ow in progress for making better known our Settlement Sc hool, since it is such a splendid work. The Della Gammas recently gave a play at o ne o f the local theatre s, for the benefit oC their Belgian orph:ms, and since then we have wished we might do something ttl make others r ea lize that II had been accomplilhing and succeeding in n great work long before the wllr. The husband of ODe of our alumnae is donating hi s downtown windows (or an exhibit of the various kinds of work whkh is done at the school, and Mrs Ri chard so n, the chairman of the Settlement School, has been asked to talk about it. Also a write-up as well as pictures il to be given to the papers.
\Ve have bee n receiving many vi si ts from our girls who are not in college, including Retty Crawford, Faye Simon, Marie R o wley Craig, and Rosave r re Menngh, our delegate to convention In st summer. In a few weeks we will have Louise Jones with u s agsin as she will be com ing back for graduation We certainly hllve milsed her, because she has so much fraternity spirit and was one of the liveliest girls in the hou se.
This week on the campus the annual Grtl4:e Coppack cam paign h:ls been taking place. Mi ss Coppack is a missionary in China who attend ed !\'cbrnska University_ Ea c h year the girls attempt to raise (l s ufficient sum to slipport her. enrolyn R eed and Florence Wilcox have been very active in gettiu2 subscriptions. !lOd Mildred M: c Farhnd made a huge poster for til t: campaign.

Also one of the g:rls hili a principal part in the senior play entitled, nOh Sliool r which i. to be given the laHer part of April.
The life of the university is returning to normal, which is proven , by the fact thnt there is already a s urplus number of men enrolled The question of selling aside a certain day this spring on which to hold memorial services for Kansas University men who died in the service is now befo r e the studenls and the u,,jYersity authorities. The possibility of erecting Il . memorial on the cam)) us is a lso strong in the minds of all of us.
\Ve will hold the Founders' Day banquet on April :14. and the date for our ann\lal Mothers' Day has been set for May 17.
Everyone is looking now for a happier time; for a lull following the slo rm in which we ca n get our bearings, so to speak. nnd prove our abilities and our powers in the wonderful opportunities opening before us.

We had the great pleasure of having with UI MilS Carson. our Province President, and also Mary Newcomb'. mother, who i. a member of Iowa B To have her tell u.t .bout her college days and to lee what it meant to her to have her daughter initiated with her oldfashioned pin gave us a bigger idea of what n 4:» was going to menn to UI in the future; made U5 a little gladder to be one i a lillie prouder of our arrow.
Initiation was only the beginning of :1. series of social affairs which has filled all our weekends. And our hnppint!u at th e e nding of the war- and the dreadful inftuenza epidemic was made complete when Katherine Duce returned to os from her year's work in London wilh Base Hospital Number 29 . 1 don't think there ever was such !l cooky-shine IlS th!lt with wh :ch we ce-Iebrated the return of our one Red Cross nurit; and surely nol !I. happier set of girls than those of Colorado A that night.

It is a question more euil,. asked than anawered. of the many answeTl which might be made.
I can onl1 attempt to sive three Firat, the univenities must become more international in their intercourse. The c omradeship of nations which has been reali:r;ed in war mUll be preK rved in peace The univer&itiel, like the cit i :r;cn&. mUllt become increuin,ly "internationa ll y minded." In the Middl e Aus they were not pro vincial but international. Students of a ll nalions turned to Paril, Ilologna, and Oxford, attracted by t he! fame of t eadler May we not after the! war look to the universities to create and lullain a new international fdloW1lhip of culture ? I would mOllI earn u tly hope that it millht become increasin,ly natural for Americans to s tudy at Oxford or Cambridge! and for Enalishmen to study in American unh erlitica. In this way the old ideal of the "universitll," difficult to fulfil in days of hi,h s p«ialiution. may be on ce a,ain in a commonwealth o f universities, contributing its own sl}CCial character, yet toadber possessin, one common ideal
