THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
YALE UNIVERSITY
By J e rE GERTRUDE MACY, Virginia A, ' 16 Pi Bela Phi Fellow, I9I9 -20
I know of nothing that should interest co llege women more than a brief historical ' sketch of one of the oldest and greatest universWes in America today, Yale University. It is with great pride that I , one of her members, though one of the weaker sex, answer my ca ll to such a task.
It was back in the early eighteenth ce ntury when a small group of Connecticut ministers gathered together for the purpose of dis -
c ussing the welfare of the churc h and state that the idea for an educational institution began.to genninate. The year 1701 marks the granting of a for the foundation of a Collegiate School by the General Assembly of the Colony, for the purpose of such a school being to fit the young men for service Hin Church and Civil State,lt After the charter had been gnnted the founders immediately set t o work collecting donations of books and money and in the same year instruction began at Saybrook. The first degree of Bachelor of Arts

HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK 301
was granted in 1703, but a few years later, 1710, the course of instruction leading to a degree was extended to cover four years. Vigorous protest arose among the Saybrook and Hartford citizens in 17 I 6 which necessitated the removal of the Collegiate School to neutral territory, lew Haven being the chosen place. The (olJowing year the first co llege building was begun and in 1718 the name Yale COllege was adopted in honor of Elihu Yale, onc of the pilgrim benefactors, then Governor of Fon George, Madras, who had spt!nt his childhood in New Haven with his stepJfathcr, Governor Eaton.
[n the early days the struggle of the new college was great but uy substantial gifts in the form of books and money from friends of educa tion it was enabled to exist until 1745 when an amendment to the charter gave the institution its present corporate form, "The President and Fellows of Yale College in ew Haven." The Reverend Thomas Clap was made the first president and it was during his that the college became firmly established. The first brick building, now known as Connec ti cut Hall, was begun in 1750.
Important steps in the development of the university were accom· pallied by the formation of the Linonian Society in 1753 and the Brothers in Unity, literary and debating societies, increasing the library facilities. The library has the distinction o f lJeing the o ld est institution in Yale eve n though its growth in the early days was very slow.
[n 1810 a charter for the establishment of the Medical School was granted, the first medical degree being conferred in 1814 . The other schools were es t ablished1 as follows: the School of Theology in 1822, the School of Law in 1824 , the School 01 Fine Arts in 18 69, and the School of in 1890.
The university possesses many fine buildings. The famous uYale Bowl" seats 60,000 people and on special occasions such as lIa Yale and Harvard game" seats are added around the top of the Bowl increasing its capacity to 70,000 people.
Women are perhaps most interested to learn of steps which Yale has taken in aiding them to obtain a higher education. Yale has done pioneer work in making the facilities for higher education available to women. The Graduate School of Yale University was established in 1847. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy was first conferred in 186 I ; the degree of Master of Arts in 1876 . As early as 1892 when the women's colleges were insufficiently endowed to
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
ca re for advanced students, Yale opened the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to them. The School of Fine Arts and the School of Music have been opened to women from their beginning in 1869 and 1890, resp ectively. Again responding to the feeling SO often expressed during r ecent years that the position and education of the women of a nation is a measure of its civilization, Yale opened her Medical School in 1916 and the Law School in 1919 . The Masters' degrees were opened to women in 1917 and the Public Health degrees have been opened to them since their inauguration in the same year.
For ' the year 1919 - 1920 women are en r olled in the schools of the university as follows: Law School, 8; Medical School , S; Divinity School, 6; Sheffield Scientific School, 2; School of Fine Arts. 14 ; Schoo l of M llsi c, 21 ; Graduate School, 56, making a total number of 162. This represents about five per cent of lhe total number of registered in the university, or fifteen peT ce nt of those in the graduate and professiona l schoo ls.
This yea r , for the first time , the university has provided a dormitOry for her graduate women and we are hoping for better things in the near future As yet women have no part in the college life of the university but the time is sur ely coming when as the pillars of the old Yale traditions and conventionality decay, new ones will repla ce the o ld which will permit the a c tive participation of women in the broader life of Yale.

Starting in two of the southern states less than ten years ago with but three or four far -seei ng, splendid women voluntarily giving their time and energies to its development, it has grown rapidly until during the past year there were about 1,500 regularly employed home demonstration workers busy in every state of the Union.
1I0ME DEMONSTRATION WORK JOJ
This work is administered for the United States Department of Agriculture through central extension offices maintained under the tales Relations Service in \Vashington. In conference with tht: nirectors of Extension and Home Demonstration Agents in the various states the general programs of home demonstration work for all states are developed. The women employed in the central offices travel through the country and by conferences with the state agents or leaders help in adapting this general plan to the needs of each individual state. The Washington offices in addition to doing super-
visory work serve as a clearing house for hel pf u t suggestions sec ured (rom loca l agents and special new matter which the s t ates may need and desire. Through their contact \\ith other departments of the Government at \ Vashington, special help can be secu r ed for the sta'tes from those sourccs.

The central idea of this extension work is the " H ome Demonstration." Every home demonstration age nt is in the co unty not to prescribe a co urse oT study in home eco n o mi cs or agri culture f o r the interested women and girls, but to help in any way that she to solve th e eve r -present problems of ru ral lif e, bringing to that solution any available, useful experience and kn ow led ge.

and is given particular attention, but in order that the agent may effectively reach the greatest possible number of people home demonstration clubs are established both for women and girls. Regular club meetings are held, the women and girls following the program of work decided upon.
In many rural communities incomes must be increased before :,t3ndards of living can be rai.;:ed or progressive cOlTununity enterprises fostered . One of the objects of this home demonstration work is to develop a skill that shall result in economic independence of women and girls in the cou ntry. F o r this purpose, in the programs of work outlined for home demonstration club members , some productive activity is included. This may be anyone of the indus'ries already in operation on the farm or through the vision of the horne demonstration agent some new occupation may be included. For instance members of the girls' and women's clubs were told about broom corn and as a co nsequence many patches of com were grown and the brooms made by the club mem'>eTS on a small broom ·making ma chine Fish ponds have bee n stocked. New vegetables, such as pimientas and chayotes, have heen and impro\'ed methods (J( gndenillg and horticulture have heen suggested. Many women alld girls have found that poultry raising 011 the farm can be made decidedly profitable. Hundreds o( poultry club girls have made money enough to pay their expenses through school, gaining an education that could not otherwise have been obtained. But for the inspiration received in their cluh work, these same girls would not have cared (or or sought such an education. Raising a garden and learning to preserve the products of the farm and orchard have been responsible for an added income in numberless homes.
In addition to these productive activities, the quest.ion of conservation and gt!neral home management is given considerable attention. The utilization of products of the farm and their proper preparation for the table have led to a decidedly improved diet, resulting in better health and strength (or the family . School lunches established in co untry schools through the inspiration of the home demonstration as;nt have warmed many a shivering youngster and helped him over the hard part of the day.
Labor-saving equipment of many kinds is now found in rural homes where a few years ago such things were unknown. At first home·made devices such as fireless cookers, iceless refrigerators, fly

traps, and butter paddles were used and they still lighten the work of many a housekeeper. As these women have seen the advantage of such equipment and become acquainted with them they have been glad to spend their money on such purc hases. A recent visit to one c1 ub whose members two years ago considered a 14s tore -made" broom a luxury, the fact that at their last meeting they were seriously considering buying a community electric washing machine and a vacuum cleaner. Hundreds of electric lighting systems and waterworks are being installed. Such is the spirit of progressiveness being developed.
A COMMUNITY KIT C HEN IN USE
Words are decidedly inadequate to describe th e scope and the influen ce of home demonstration work and to Ue asked to do it briefty is not enco uraging. An interesting phase of the development of the work is shown in th e fact that at the reques t of several for eign governments home demonstration workers have spent some months abroad, during the past year, explaining the work in this country and giving practical suggestions for its adaptation to foreign conditions. Numbers of representatives of European nations have been in Washington asking for assistance in establishing such work in their country. The county home demonstration agent has limitless pos-

sibilities in her work. In her county she is unhampered by rules and regulations and is (ree to give the best that she has to the business of being a real friend and counsello r to her people. Backed by the people in the state and national offices she may be sure of receiving all the help. needed in her new problems. And in watching the growth and development of her work and the individual responses to her efforts, she will receive the personal satisfaction of work faithfully done.
FITst of all, the county home demonstration agent must be a woman of broad vision and wlderstanding of ufolks." The more thorough her training in home economics and agriculture has been, the greater will be the service she can render and the easier will be her work . But classroom knowledge alone will not make a successful extension worker. As general director and administrator of the work in her county she must be able to work with other agencies, such as public health nurses, boards of education, and home economics teachers, and in have executive ability to get the necessary work done. The success of a good agent l ies in her ability to get the people themselves to carry out a successful p.iece of work. 'rh is is all the publicity her work will need.
An agent must have good health since the work demands a person capab le of filling engagements in all kinds of weather over all kinds of roads in all kinds of rattling automobiles. Occasionally, however, in the mountains the automobile must give way to the trusty mule and many an agent has had such an experience.
The salary of a co unty home demonstration agent comes, under authority of the Smith-Lever Act, part from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, ·which gives the franking privilege, part from state funds, and part from funds appropriated by the co unty. Because of this last agency, the salaries vary g reatly. A good agent performing satisfactory service need not fear that she will receive inadequate pay since the people of her cou nty are sure to recognize her "alue to them. In general, the salaries of home demonstration agents are higher than th ose paid to home eco nomi cs teachers in the same localities. Throughout the United States last year the average salary was $1,355 38
In addition to the positions as county home demonstration agents, there are frequently openings for district agen!s and occasionally state agents. Such positions a re usually filled from the ranks of

successful county agents. Any com munications in regard to extension work. addressed to the State Home Demonstration Agent, at the state agri cultural college, of the state in which a prospective agent is interested will bring full inf o rmati on conce rning the requirements of that particular state.
A mOTe satisfying pos.ition, filled with mOTe hard work and more successful results , would be hard to find. 1'he young woman who wishes a busy life and an eventful one cou ld do no better than fit herself for home demonstrati o n work .

The American Red Cross has by no means finished its war pro· gram. As long as a single American soldier remains on foreign soil or in the camps and military hospitals of this country, and as long as the stricken countries of Europe are suffering from results of the war wi th which they are unable to cope, the Red Cross stands ready to help. Plans are rapidly being perfected for the permanent work of and continuation of work already begun. The peace program of the Red Cross is divided into four groups: H ome Service, Juni o r Membership, First Aid, and Nursing Service. The w o rk tnat lies before the Red Cross in H o me Service o ff e rs , perhaps, the best opportunity fo r the college girl.
This work is considered under four general heads:
J. The co ntinuati o n of service to the famili es, sailors, and marines.
2. The aftercare of the r eturned disabled service men
3. The extension of the H o me Service as a community activity.
4. Disaster Relief.
Until the last American soldier comes home from Europe and is restored to family life, the highest duty that lies before the Home Service Depa.rtment is to fulfill its pledge that the families of the men in the service of the United States shall not suffer during their
GOVERNOR AND MRS . CALV IN COOLIDGE 309
absence. This means to maintain communication between the men and their families, to insure the protection of the families in the absence of the men , in respect to health, schooling, and Hving conditions, and to give needed assistance in TC:ipect to Government c laims.
With the return to c ivil )jCe of numbers of disabled men , another responsibility devolves upon the H ome Service Section. It must see that the disabled soldiers are adequately assisted belore their compensation claims are granted j must help them in filing such claims and securing the compensation due them; must see to it that every man who is entitled to reeducation is thoroughly familiar with the advantages whi ch the Government will provide for him; and must help in every possible way his readjustment to actual home conditions.
In the formulating of a permanent program the Red Cross has decided that chapters may undertake an extension oC activities which does not dupJicate that of existing organizations. They may do social work with families; they may serve their communities as general family social work agencies, when that field is not co vered by other agencies, as it is not i n ninety per ce nt of the places where Home Service is now oper:lting.
One of the most unusual and broadly useful things which HO:'11e Service did during the war was to provide inConnation service. It is as necessary in peace times as it was during the wa,r. Laws relating to immjgration and naturalization, information concerning state and city laws are matters oC importance to many families who are financially unable to employ a lawyer.
The extension of Home Service as a com munity activity involves the problems of health and sanitation needs, of recreation needs, and the special problems of immigration. It demands most effective local use of state and federal resources for the protection of health, the care of the sick, the defective, dependent, and delinquent.
For many years before the war, the Red Cross ,vas recognjzed as the appropriate agency for the administration of relief in the period of unsettled conditions that always follows a big disaster. This func · tion will naturally be continued, forming the fourth permanent b ranch of work to be administered by the Home Service Department. These plans presuppose trained workers. Home Service is not a work for unskilled hands. A family is too delicate an organism to be handled, except by one ,\' ho possesses a dominant personality and a

keen insight into every-day problems. The Red C ross has organized institutes in Home Service in cities representating every section of the count r y. Many of the institutes are affiliated with local universities and schools of philanthropy.
After all is said and done true victory lies not SO mu c h in actual military gains on the battlefields , as in the quality of manhood and womanhood who will carryon the co untry 's work after the war. The Red Cross needs bright, capable, forceful college women. The weak and rag ged spots in community life, the disease, ignoran ce, and moral issues, can only be co mbated with and rectified by men and women who have at heart the safety and betterment of the human race.
As Henry P. Davison so aptly said: liThe time has come when the man o r woman is going to be measured not by money, not by name, nOt by family, but by service."

huge coliseum at all the sessions included missionaries, student leade", and about 8,000 student delegates representing 900 colleges of United States and Canada and including students from forty foreign countries.
This was the first regular convention of the Student Volunteer since the memorable one held in Kansas City in 1914. On account of war conditions the convention whi ch would naturally have fallen in 1917·18 at the end of the regular quadrennium was postponed and a special conference limited to a selected company of students, professors, student association secretaries, and leaders of missionary forces of orth America met at East orthfield, Mass., January 3-6, 1918 While this meeting in no sense took the place O'f the regular quadrennial, it furnished instruction, inspiration, and enthusiasm to a thousand people, sc\"en hundred of them students who otherwise would have passed through a college generation without the peculiar stimulus which this particu Jar organization brings.
In this notable meeting at Des Moines, the celebrated the thirty - third year of its history. In that time, 8,140 volunteers have sailed for the foreign field, half number during the last ten years, college mission study cJasses have grown from a few hundred to an enrollment of 47,666 during 1919 and student gifts have swelled from $5,000 to over $300,000 a year. An interesting feature of the convention was the Canadian d.elegation, 350 strong, thirty per cent of whom were veterans knowing foreign service.
There has been a criticism flam some sources that the program of the convention was a little too stereotyped and that there was not sufficient facing of the social wrongs of our day. The criticism is a healthy sign since it shows that there is in the youth of today a decided tendency to face reality, once it has accepted the beautiful ('hallenge of idealism.
The following- comments on the co nvention collected from the delegates who represented Pi Beta Phi at Des Moines have necessarily been edited to avoid repetition since there was a marked similarity in the replies showing a remarkable unanimity of opinion in regard to the features of the great meeting. To all who responded to her call for "echoes" the Editor extends thanks.

I think that I may nev e r ags:n h:lve the opportunity of viewing al once 50 great a number of world -famous men 8S were assembled there : G. Sherwood Eddy, Robert E.

PI PH[S TO TH E FRONT
The Pi Pbis. who bad the great privilege of attending the convention. wished that every member of the fraternity co uld hav e been there. but now those who were there are doing everything in their power 10 bring back to their chapters a part of the inspjration that they receiv ed. It was interesting to know that there were more Pi Phis at this co nf ere n ce than membe"rs of any other one fraternity.
The ont outstanding impression that the co nvention made was tbe over· whelming need {or workers on the foreign missionary field today, and Ihe great responsibility that rest s upon college W1)men to supply Ihat netd. The slogan of Ihe: conference was "The Evn..ngelizatlon of the World in this Generation." This generation is specified because now is the psychological time for Christianity to be spread over lhe world. The victory of the Christian nations in the war and the principles for which theae nalionl fought have brought the doctrines o( Christ before the world and the peoples o( other land. are looking t9 us (or more of that faith and leac hing. The co llege women of today are

parficularly fitted for the work, not only because the lime i ripe hul because women of higher education nd experience are the only onel who can accomplish tpc work well.
The people wilh whom the missionaries deal are not ignorant people; they 3re bright and keenly inteJlectual. and we must send over our best trained personalities to reat.h tbem. Merely because their reli(ion encumbers them with superstition. we must not believe that their minds are dull. The milsionary call is one- that Pi Phil must lislen to and answer. because it i. one of the biggest question. that the world is facing .t the present lime and, as women of the world, we must do all that is in our power to solve it.

THE CONVENTION KEVNOTE
The experience of being & part of gl"eat gathering luch as that at Des Moines is one that cannot be expressed; it can on ly be felt and Jived. Just to stand and look out over that vast gathering of studenta, realizing that there were represented not only all parts o( the United States and Canada, but (orty different countries, and tha.t all these had I embled with the same purpose-to meet the challenge of a "New World," wa.a a rare inspiration. Add to this the con t act with great personalities who are moving forces in the world and the appealing messages which came from the deepelit experiences o( their lives.
The keynote of the convention, it seemed to me, was that this generation of students has a unique and n tremendou.s responsibi·lity. We are starting our careers just at one of the most critical times in the world's history. Never were there opportunities; never was the world so expectant, sO receptive to Christianity.

The wonderful spirit which reigned throughout the entire conven tion,-made a deep impreHion on me. The manifestatioll. of good - fellowship among the eight thousand sludents present, were evident everyw here--on the special train. 10 anti from Des MaiDes, in hotels and cafe terias, on the streets, sod especially in the Coliseum, where our great morning nnd evening session I look place. As we entered the building and wended Qur wa, to the Vermont State section, it seemed as though we had entered the scene of a world football game. Enthusiasm was rife, cheers boomed out in good·natured rivalry, and a.lma maters were sung with much vim. But as soon as Our very able leader and chairman of the Student Volunteer Movement struck the table with his gavel, .ilence reigned and our spirit became one of reverence and of prayer. \Ve felt & great spiritual unity, due to our common aim and purpose, so nobly expressed by Mr. Motl, in his opening addren, as follows:
r. To catch n vision of a new world.
I I. To get a new challenge.
II r. To realir.e ou r wondrous unity and our spiritual solidarity.
IV To receive a fresh accession of superhuman power.
During tht: wonderful days together, Jllle.nt in thllUght a.nd prayer, we were ever conscious of God's helpful and inspiring presence, which was made evident through the spiritual messages of the forceful speakers. In these days, there came to each one of us a distinct challenge to make our life as Christ-like a5 possible, by giving all to Christian service.

THE SENSE OF UNlTY
It is hard to let go of personal interests and become absorbed in the interests of a group. It is a great thing when one does it. I believe that during the five great day. at Des Moines 8,000 students did absolutely that thing. I believe that they positively forgot themselves for tl time and were s wallowed up in con templ ating bigger things than they had thought of before.
They were united-as John R. \Vou said oC the members of the Student Volunteer b::and- b)' "fronting together a co mmon, impossible ttl.k." They were united as during those five days they "reasoned together" concerning how best to tame the untame d world. Co n sider 8,000 live, twentieth century students just sitt ing down lmd threshing out together the problem of how to Christianize the world. When you contemp lated that problem, when you thought that the other seven thousand nine hundred and ninety -nine students were thinking about it too, when you thought about It. band oC students encircling the world and thinking about it too-well, you felt like a pin head and prayed for strength to do a speck to help o ut.

THE PROCESS OF AMERICA IZING A SERBIAN
By MAY LANSFIELD KE LLER
"Ve r a llitch will arrive Crom ew York at 7 :45 A. M., Thursday morning, October 10 /' signed Mrs. John Huddleston. This brief telegram occasio ned conside rable co ns ternation at \Vesthampton Co llege, especially as the arrival was unexpected, and no one was an expert in the Serbian language, but excitement in the event outranked all other feeling. The first necessity was to provide some linguists to meet the train , and co nvey Vera to Westhamp ton. Thursday dawned clear and bright but no Vera appeared, and it was not until 6 :20 Friday night that Vera I1it ch, wearing across her chest a placard blazoned with HDean May L. Keller, Westhampton College, Richmond, Va.," alighted. from the train and was literally convoyed by two students of West-
VIRA ILiTC Il hampton Col1ege, one French instructor as interpreter, and a Richmond College man as baggage l1"laster, to the college campus. She could speak not one syllable of English aDd was distressed because the co nductor in whose care she had been placed was so inconsiderate as to understand neither French nor Gennan. She told us in German, turning her great soulful brown eyes upon us, that the diningcar conductor also could understand no better and "when I ordered no fish and no soup, he brought me both."
Her only baggage consisted of a huge, foreign-looking telescope trunk in which was the very scantiest wardrobe imaginable, a picture of her soldier father and her younger sister, and a few trinkets. One rain coa t and a sweater given her in New York were her sole

protection against cold. She possessed also one pair of ," cry high heeled shoes, whi c h she had purc hased at the advanced war price of something Jike twenty dollars in our money, a se,rge dress, a little underwear, and nothing more. Questioning brought out the fact that our Serbian was direct from Belgrade, that she was one of the twenty-four gi rl s selected [rom over 400 app li cants t o be sent to American colleges, and that she had come on twenty -four hours' notice to be ready to l eave the count r y. Her father had served in the a rm y of war - torn Serbia for seven years, before which he had been a teacher in the publi c schools as had also her mother, so that a desire for instruction in the English language and literature in order to become a teache r of English in her own count ry was the impelling motive th at directed Vera to America.
Vera personally is exceedingly pretty, as may be seen from her photograph. She is very dark with large, brown eyes, and pink , cheeks when animated or excited over anything. She has a slender figure , and looks ex c eeding ly )vell in her dark. blue serge, purchased with Pi Phi money She alEiO has a will of her own, as we dis · covered when we undertook to pu r c hase for her a pair of commonsense shoes. " I do not have them," was her firm r ejoinde r , ilL wea r shoes likes Mademoiselle Kloss high up in the back." And she did have them and gray spats to hoot. \ Visdom was learned so the next time two fa c ulty firmly, but gently, led Vera to the slaughter, had her fitted with low -heeleq shoes , bought them for her, put th em in her protesting hands and her home.
She is learning English ve r y rapidly, attending classes now in freshman English, French, German, and history, and she has also private tutoring in English every day. At the end of the first week she elected to wash her hair after the 10 :30 bell had rung, and heeded no remonstrance of the hall proctor, until exaspe r ated she anno un ced, "I wash tonight 'my hair, it is sick." The proctor at that juncture retired from the discussion. At \V esthampton we have student waiters, and after tpree days, Vera observed a liking of one of the girls for one of the student waiters, and still a little mixed as to pronouns inquired , lIWl)y does not her sit at him table?"
But that is past and Ve.ra · is learning not only English but every effort is being made to instill into her mind American ideals and standards. The work. has just begun and the Pi Phi fund thus far has been drawn upon only to give Vera a few actual necessities of

wearing appareL It was a real godsend, for at the time when she had literally no clothes in which to appear as the other girls, this sum of money enabled her to have th e things that all co llege girls wear, and without whjch it would have been impossible tor her to get along. It seems incredible but our Serb arrived in America with the exact sum of $27.50 . Would any of us have had such supreme faith in a land of promise?
Foreign students are usually given actual board , room , and tuition, but no clothing, no spending money, and no provision is made for summer vacations, hence the value of our fund to deans of women in despair over shoes, stockings, hats, and money for traveling expenses for our foreign guests.
I f anyone is traveling through or near Richmond she is cordially invited to visit Vera at Westhampton College and investigate personally the fifty - dollar investment of Pi Beta Phi in Serbian securities.

WITH OUR NATIONAL COMMITTEES
STUDY AND
The Committee on Study and Examination would like to tell Pi Bela Phi alumna! \\ hat it is tTying to do. This conunittee composed of a chairman and ten supervisors, one for each province, according to the instructions from Grand Council, is to supervise the study of fraternity matters by pledges and active members, to coope rate with clubs in planning programs of fraternity interest and to run off ex· arrunations for pledges and active members. No pledge may be initiated until she has passed this test. The annual examination for members is required as heretofore.
This committee is trying to do several things: first, to tra in our undergraduates, pledges and members to be better college women beca use they are loyal fraternity women-this means acquiring a broad and honest Panhellenic viewpoint. Second, to make our pledges fit for n B <I> and to make our members worthy of IT B <I>this means study of our history, cons titution, etc., etc . Third, to assist these gir ls in a practical way-to this end the ten supervisors help the c hapters along definite lines and th e committee as a whole has issued two pamphlets, copies of which have been sent to cha pters and clubs and which may be obtained from the Grand Treasure r by interested individua ls The first was "A Study for the second, a "Pi Beta Phi Handbook."

THE UNDERCRADUATE LoAN FUND
Granting that the Settlement School stands first among our fraternity activities; with the Fellowship Fund, the ndergraduate Loan Fund bids for second place.
At the Swarthmore Convention (1910), it was voted to loan $200 annually at a low r ate of interest to Pi Beta Phis who needed assistance to comp l ete their college courses. No plans were then formed to maintain a permane nt fund. Two years later a step was taken by voting that rapid loans should no longer r eve rt to the national but sho uld be returned to a permanent loan fund. Us ually each loan amounted to $75 or $100 and thus each year the demands
TIfE A RROlV OF PI BETA PHI
were, increasingly, man y limes than our sma ll fund co ul d supp ly .
Accordingly an appeal for assistance was made before the alumnre session of the, Berkeley Convention. Gre3;t interest a.nd enth usi asm was manifested. It was voted to increase OUT fund by an ann ual app r Qpriation of $250. The proceeds of the IlCo nvention Daily" and individual gifts were received.
Later a ci rcu lar l ette r was sent to alumna! clubs so li citing financial support. The clubs are responding each year with gifts of $5 , $10 and $15 showing that the Loan Fund is r emembe r ed in their budget. One active chapter responded with a monthly gift of twenty-five cents from each member.
Thus far the Loan Fund has enabled twenty·eight girls to finish their co ll ege work. Among the reCipients are students who have held or are holding offices in both college and chapter. They have won B and other honorary degrees and, as g raduat es, a rc fulfilling positions of honor and trust in their communities . reasons have prompted this article. V\fIe wish to thank clubs and alumnC"e for gifts, while second l y we beg their continued support. Lastly, we desire to again call the Loan Fund to the attention of the active girls If in financial difficulty, why not apply to the Loan Fund Co mmittee?

THE FELLOWSHIP FUND
The Fellowship Fund Committee has been granted this space in THE ARROW, in which we wish to ma.ke a special appeal to the alumna! who do not belong to clubs. Eve ry yea r since th e appointment of this committee in 1916 the cha pters and clubs have been asked to con tr ibu t e to tl1e fund. Surely everyone of you wish to see this Fellowship of which we ar e all proud-p ut on a permanent basis. Ten thousand dollars is our goal, to be reached as soon as possible. We are trying to raise $1,000 in the clubs and chapters this year. Why can we not raise another $1,000 among you scatteJed alumnae? This fellowship belongs to us all-why should we all not contribute? Can we count on you? If you want any information about the Fellowship Fund, the chairman would be most glad to answer your questions. Send your contributions-remembe r no maner how

The wording of these notes below is as nearly as possible that of the national secretaries to whom the questionnaire was sent. It should be observed that the questions asked were IIWhat altruistic work do you und ertake as a fFaternity and what war work did you engage upon as a fraternity?"
Some of the larger organizations answered these questions exactly and therefore left their chapte r and club work to be understood It seemed wise, however, to give the details of chapter work when given since some organizations attempt nothing as a body.

Having planned to go to Gatlinburg during October, I was gratified to find i n the Vittdi.t:ator the announcement that East Tennessee would hold th e ann ual educational confere nce in Kn o xville the last week of the month. There were seve ral thin gs I had been want ing t o find out about Tennessee school taxes, etc. A very large number were in a ttendance.

thousand teaching on temporary ce rtifi cates, which means that they are lacking in Tennessee's requirements Cor teaching, no normal and probably no high school training. One county, because oC no better mate rial available , was obliged to hire a teache r who had misspe lled eve ry word in the li st of twenty five given in examination. Seven Tennessee co unti es have schoo ls of on ly three months during this year. An attempt is being made to fix seven month s as the minimum schoo l year for the state, and also to rai se more schoo l funds by in creasing taxes. The Pi Phi Settlement Schoo l receives eighty five dollars per month for five mon th s of schoo l ," this being its full share ,of money from Tennessee. Governor Roberts' address regardin g the industrial situation, fo r Kn oxville was under the gua rd of U. S. troops of infa ntry , marines, and cava lry because of the streetcar and mine strikers, was a fearless, vigorous, patriotic speech. ' One even ing , President Bryan , of Colgate, gave an exce llent address , and Professor O'Shea, of Wisconsin , wa s remarkable in his schola rl y psychological dis courses.
The convention closed on Satu rday and, in compa ny with 1\1 r . and f\.{rs. Bishop , I l eft for Sevierville. It rained, as it had a way of doing whenever [ fared forth into Tennessee, so I stayed over night in th ei r home which is always hospitably open to Pi Phis on their way to and from Gatlinburg. Next day Harrison met me in Pigeon Forge, with "Dan" and Mr. Huff's buggy. (Now the Pi Phis have one of th eir own to replace the historic "hack" which went to pieces "all at once and nothing first" some time ago.) We had several apparently hair-breadth escapes when we sat on the side of the mountain at an angle of near 90 °, waiting for a lumber wagon to pass us "1 reckon we won't fall o ut," said th e driver, but we both lost no time scrambling to s it on the part of the buggy highest up on the mountain side. Then there were some mud holes! But they did not quite eng u I( us, and during the next six weeks [ learned th ey co uld be worse. liss Evelyn and I formed the habit of walking out in preference to ridin g, although we were not sorry to be "picked up" by Professor \V atson, Dr. or 1\:lr. Huff, as we were sometimes. Yet we never did get over our preferen ce for walking over certain stretches near uG um Stand." For ou r conso lation we oould see the railroad ties and rails laid on the opposite side of the Little Pigeon to within four or five milts of Gatlinburg. So if we do not get a upike" we may somet.ime have a railroad into th e

burg. The Vindicator states that it will be giving passenger service to GatJinburg next year, but that may be pure optimism!
After all, however , one gladly endures the discomforts of the road for the glimpses afforded of tIle beautiful mountain scene ry Throughout ovember th e autumn co loring was th e most wonderful it has ever been my privilege to see, the co lo rs cons tantly changing until we rea ched the rare mahoganies o f the la.tte r part of the month.
Upon a rrivin g, after dark, at the Residents' co ttage, I was greeted cordially by Miss Sturley, M iss Bishop, Miss Burton, and Runyan , our most efficient workers in the settlement and school work, and by our good Aunt Lizzie and Mrs, Proffit. Mr. C reswell I met later. Miss Freeman of Iowa was a guest at the house and added to my welcome. After Sunday evening lunc h, lik e the wise virgins we started out with our lamps trimmed and burning, for B Y. P. U Right here was my first revelation of the influence of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School, for B. Y. P. U. holds a meeting every Sunday evening which co uld put to shame many o f the Sunday meetings of young people held throughout the country where opportunities for development have been greater. It is attended by a large number for a co untry meeting , sixty to a hundred, and the boys and girls who have had the scHool's advantages "take part" in a simple, well -poised, and th oughtf ul way that is very gratifying. On Friday evenings debates were held, young and o ld discussing Tennessee's compu lsory sc h oo l law ( which is not enforced ), fanning questions, etc., in a way both entertaining and admira.ble. One Friday evening a basket supper was held. Mr. Charlie Ogle and one or two other philanthropists bought several baskets and resold to the small boys at a 75% loss or thereabouts. Everybody had a good time and the sale of baskets netted twenty dollars which , together with an equal sum from the state, will be put into new library books.
Other features were the lOplendid Thanksgiving program and the Christmas ente rtainment. Sturley's room gave Ali/es Standish. for the former occas ion, and very beautifully. It was not difficult to find John Alden s and Priscillas among Gatlinburg people nor a real spinning · wheel and straight-backed, splint-bottomed chain. Miss Burton's little folks were no less pleasing in their many appearances ( Mr. Creswell and his boys had made the stage whi ch can be stored away between entertainments.) The songs were a
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
significant part of th e p rog ram
All the boys and girls love to sing under the inspiration of Miss Evelyn 's leadership, for her music has the charm of natural ability with rare c ultivation . Its quality makes itself felt and brings qui c k resp onse. The Ch ristm as program was less e laborate, the wonderful tree from Pi Phi Hill being almost sufficient in itself. Miss Runyan's boys and girls furnished music for pretty tableaux and the voi ce s in the Ch ri stmas songs very appealing. Syracuse, Detroit, Rochester, and Cleveland alumna! de· serve thanks for the l ovely tree decorations which brought out the beauty of the big hemlock . They also sent some pretty gifts. Dolls, ribbons , nice new books, and writing paper seem to be favorites with the girls, while the boys enjoy their neckties, games, knives, etc., a.nd there were some of each. There never does seem enough dolls with "rea l" clothes to satisfy the littl e girls who are so hungry for them. M..iss Evelyn "aims'!- to ha.ve each chi ld receive one good gift. Stress is laid upon "giving" at Christmas, so that th e school bo ys and girls may not miss their part of the blessedness af Christmas. Some forty toys were made by Mr. Creswell's boys in manual training, painted by the older girls, and given the younger brothers and sisters. Mistletoe , h o lly , and dainty Httle baskets were some of the gifts of the older pupils to the Pi Phi residents and guest. Other gifts came later but too late for this Christmas. They will be ready to help out for next year. Lilly Treadwell, Wisconsin A, sent fifteen dollars to be used for the pleasure of the children, a most opportune gift.
Outside of school activities wefe still other enjoyments--wonderful walks, and much, very much visiting. Miss Sturley and.. Miss Burton make frequent over-night visits, and Miss Evelyn and I had the pleasure of an "over-night" with the Crocket Maples, going home with their boys, Ephraim, Rellie , and Bru ce, eating com popped ove r the open fire in one of Gatlinburg's l ovely firepla ces, and, later in the guest chamber, sleeping soundly between the bursts of mountain storm, for as usual it rained! Another night was spent at the home af the good Pi Phi friends , Mr . and Mrs. Huff , when we all sang songs with the children for a while and then talked until after midnight. In the morning Miss Evelyn and I, having left the porch door open to listen to the usual rain a ccompaniment of our visits, looked out upon a crisp, white world for the rain had turned to snow I Mrs . Steve Whaley entertained us a 11 one evening

at a delicious supper, where Preacher Connor was also a guest, a delightfuJ conversationalist, and Miss Evelyn and r stayed long after the rest had gone to debate, listening 10 him. fr o and 1\1rs. r....awson Reagan invited us all one evening and we were weB served with 3. wholesome meal including string beans canned by the "cold pack method."
Dr. Massey and Mr. Huff gave us several rides among the mountains, through peaceful Wears Valley, where at the Baptist School, Miss Evelyn, Dr. Massey, and I all gave "talks"; to Green Briar where at one curve in the r oad the mountains stand out in all their grandeur; Lil1ard Maples was chaffeur for us all one Sunday when we went up t o IISugarlands" to see Mr. and Pri ckett and their adorable babies.
Altogether my stay in Gatlinburg, although it was full of numberless details of planning fOT the present and future , gave me much pleasure . There is satisfaction in realizing the splendid ene r gy and devotion to work of the resident and their coo peration for the general welfare. The school is in splendid condition, attendance better than usual, and the friendly interest shown by the people is growing steadily.

This volume published by th e Co lumbia University Press in 1919 is a monograph inspired by the feeling that th e co nnec tion between t he literature of Gree ce and Roine and that of England has been too litt le stressed.
After brieHy reviewing the life of Vergil and his work s, the writer t r aces the changes in reaction to his poetry in the different periods of English literature and presents studies of his influence on th e repre· seJitative poets of England , under the varying conditions of the Middle Ages, the Renaissan ce, Pseudo -c lassi c ism, and Romanti c ism. The author shows that the influen ce of Vergil upon the English pocts was both tf'a r ·reaching and varied and concludes that Tennyson, the one who more than any other may be called Vergilian, is also the last great poet o f Eng l and to show in a decided form the effect of his Vergilian reading.

are still seek ing the channel in which th ey may make best n:turn of their years of training f o r service. THE ARROW always aims to help these girls by publishing, from time to time , vocational articles which s hall be not only inspirational but informational and practical in scope. The present issue contains two such articles.
Every decade, the development of scientific invention brings in its wake new oppo rtunities f or industrial or professional servi ce. F o r instance, the perfection of the telephone and of the automobile during the last twenty years has furnished a score of new occupations for men everywhere. In like manner, the awakening of a new social co nsciousness , beginning before the war and given a wonderful impetus by the world confiict, has opened a new field of occupations for women which has already reached the dignity of a profession. Social service of today is specialized and offers a bewildering variety of opportunities.
Home demonstration work as Miss Keown has described it on page 300 is merely the development of work which began in 1910 with canning clubs in four counties of two southern states. So rapidly has it developed that today th e r e is hardly a section of the country where some phase of the worL:. is not being carried on by trained women, but still there is real n eed of more trained workers . The Editor first became familiar with the work through the efforts of the county agents in Sevier County our Settlement School is located. Lait spring she had the wonderful privilege of spending a week with the agents of the state of Tennessee, hearing the work explained and discussed and listening to our own Mary Keown and other speakers from the office of the States Relations Service in Washington . She wishes all Pi Phis might have a similar opportunity to learn personally of the worth while work these women are doing
The home service work concerning which Mrs. Van Riper writes on page 306 is a still newer (onn of social service, rapidly developed by the great war and still o ff ering great possibilities to women seeking how they may best invest time and energy To those who think this particular avenue of work has been closed by the ending of war activities, the following extracts from a long editorial on the subject in a great metropolitan daily newspaper will be enlightening.
With the signing of the peace tenn s and the approaching demobiliution of the army. we arc apt to forget how important this work of the Red Croll still is. MOlt of us would be sorprised 10 learn th.t the work of the home service
It'Ction of Red Cross is beavier than ever. Thi, is true not only of 805tOD. but of the otber large metropolitan districts. The need (or financial aid i. f lling off. but the demands {or advice, counsel, and information seem to increase every day. Only one family in .i. is in need of 6nancial u.i.lance.
This home Jervice i, not the isolated action of & few i it is the spontaneous, organized neighborliness of the nation. It is an txprclSion of the great democratic spirit of gratitude and desire to share 10 far 3S pouible the burden. aDd sutrerings of the war. These burdens still weigh heavily on many shoulden. Let us not (orget thi . . So long as a family still await. its soldier's homecoming or a retarned man still has a compensation paper to make out or a new trade begun under the Cederal boa.rd still uncompleted, Jet not that neighborly Itrvice flag be hauled down. Let it never be said that the American people forget those who have served them 10 valiantly.
Mrs. Van Riper who wrote for THE ARROW an account of her experiences in France as one of the pioneer canteen workers, early in the war, is well-fitted to write of this work because after her return from overseas service, she gave a year to home service work in the South and Middle West.
In a personal letter to the Editor she says: "I really think that the Home Service Work is going to be the big thing in the future for college women who are interested in social work. The Red Cross has in hand a They are holding lnstitutes in , 'arious cities and furthermore are giving courses in some of the colleges to prepare wornen for the work. Their personnel is of the highest. The majority of their trained secretaries are college women.
IIThey are even now refusing to accept candidates for the Institutes who have not had one or more years of college training. I am most enthusiastic about the Home Service work and fully believe that it offers one of the best fields for executive and initiative ability."

We have been successful at Handolph - Macon in eliminating tile old way of getting new members. In the first place. we now have a pledge day in March instead of waiting until the first of the sophomore year to pledge the girls. We make no formal engagements, and we try not to make our attentions to desirable freshmen lily more pointed than Tn short. we make our intercourse with them u natural tU possible during the months before pledge day. Last year, when this Ilew system WJ1S inaugurated, many prophesied absolute failure. But thus far we believe it has been remarkably successful. The fraternity girls make friends with more freshmel1l and know them better than they could have under the old P!Ulhellenic ruling. Also--and this is one of the system's greatest advan t:tges-there is a decided lessening of the embar· rtlSsment and constraint which used to exist between both fraternity girls and freshmen. We are delighted that our plans h:tve proved SO successful.

The inee the signing of the armistice have brought many changes to our campus. Many of us for the first time are living in a "college atmosphere" akin to the onc before the war. AmoBg the most obvious of theM! changes is the reviving of many orraniz:ations which had languished (some had become mere names) durin(r the past two or three yean. Social life hat also become more active.
The literary societies have received a long· needed boom and are thriv ing. Two of them report a most exciting time on a recent joint sleighride.

Early in the year the "actives" gave a formal dance for the pledges, who returned the compliment in December by giving an informal dance.
Then, too, Mrs. Sigler visited us, spending several days gettiog acquainted and learning nbout our chapter life. This last fall Missouri B adopted the plan of staying for a. social hour, or more, after meeting. 10 that we might become better acquainted. Of course we have a study program at each meeting, usually 00 topic. of fraternity interest, but last time we took up, or rather had presented to us, 3D outline of the Treaty of Peace and the League of Notions.

I merely mentioned the pledges in the December ARROW, but I must tell you what sp lendid girls they Are. In the first at the freshman Frolic they made themselves famous, when {our or five of them participated in the events, and did splendidly. Also they are giving a valentine dance 011 14 at the Montclair Club, and we u pperc lassmen are -anticipating a good time. we can depend upon our pledges to make a success of any · thing they attempt. Talking of pledges, we are planning to have initiation on February 21.
Two of the girls, Marion Cutler and Eleanor Mead, went to the Student Volunteer Conven tion at Des Moines the first of the year. They both came back brimming over with news and excitement of the trip. We heard from the rest or the Denver delegates what good company the Pi Phis were 011 the trip, 10 1 fee l sure they well represented Colorado B.

There has been some talk of an inter·fraternity basketball schedule. but nothing definite has come of it. However, if it does go through, we will do our best to come out with the championship.

Before our entrance into the war, the cu rrent of change had a l ready set in; § ince April. ] 917, thi s c urr ent has becollle a rushing torrent, swee ping before it the o ld tra ditiona l landma r ks, fr om sho r el hitherto untouched by change.

The .ilnificance of the vote doel not arise from any superior intellilence that may be claimed for the co lle ge man.

It is a mistake t o think that the universities and colleges o f th e Uni t ed Statel, takinl' th e m as a wh o le , draw their Bluticnll from any sing le dass of the ' I)Opuiation.

THE COLLEGES AT FLOOD TIDE
BrinKing together, by careful individual callvaSl, fact., and ti,ures of American colleliate enrollment which have not before been tabulated or even glthered, an article in the magnine pages of this issue has the final word to say as to "hat i, now going on in the field of higher education. The f orecas t given on the bui. of early returns. that our collegea and I1niversities would show a lar,e increase of attendance thi5 yur. now stands confirmed upon official and in con trovertible evidence Of course there has been a gain over 1918 That wa s t o be expected as a natural reco very from the war period, a lthough few persons ruliled that the gain would be 50 much as 042 per cent. The co mparison which i. most significant. h owever , is with 1916. It was then that the colleges had their last pre · war yea r under normal conditions. In 1919, de.pite the fact that the enrollment of three year agn was known as the. "largest ever," our higher institutions have an attendance which is 21 per cent in UCCSI of the attendance in 1916 Of a truth , our colleln are at flood-tide. with no man to uy how much farther their influence ye t may Bright sign in the midst of many dark portents, education is comma nding a greater place in our national life than it ever has taken before.
Close inspection of the figures leads to many !ubordinate deduction s which are of iotereat. The point becomea plain that it is the large universities. thOle main. tained by the states a. well tho se maintained by private endowment. which ha.e recruited by fal ' the larger proportion of thi s year'a gaina in number of studentl. Institutions of this c1I11S .how an advance of SS per cent, whereas institutiona known as "the .mall college " have a reeiltration aVC'faging only eight per cent greater than their enrollment in 1916 Posaibly th is should be interpreted as In omen unfaYorable to the future o f the am all institutions, but more probably it is only a reflection o f their distinctive guiding geniu.. Not being "out" for number., they have not sre :lIlly rained in number- Certainly it is a cognate influence which helps to exptain how the coeducational universiti es can sho w a very sizable inerease in their regi.tntion of women students, where as the. colleees open exclusively to women, ,uch 18 Welles ley, B ryn Mawr. Smith, and Vassar, ha.e attained an average advance of only two per cent. Several of thue institutions. notably Bryn Mawr and Vuasr. have establi h'ed a definit,. policy of rellriction of enrollment, and naturally whue they have n.fused applicants. other institutions have gained them
These explanationa pertinent to the small colleges are by no means followed. howner, by Iny corollary tending to a uggeat that the uni.ersities are at fault in their willingness to admit ever greater and greater enrollments.
