THE PICTURE on the cover of the December ARROW is that of the remodeled house of Mi chigan S-we regret that the name was omitted.
In "Pi Phi Personalities," Lynn Wainwright is mentioned as a member of Louisiana Bwe were wrong. Lynn was pledged by that chapter, but was initiated into Indiana B as the special initiate of the Delta Province Conference in 1939.
Of P r ovince Confe r ences
As we go to press the list of provinces holding Spring conferences this year is not com· plete, and only Alpha West and Theta province have sent in notices of their coming meet· ing. We hear that Beta, Delta, Kappa, Lambda, are also planning their meetings, and there will doubtless be several mort
Plan now to include your provin ce conference in your spring travels, or to attend any one of them if you will be in its vicinity You will find them second only in interest to the national conventions. You will meet charming Pi Phis, and make lasting friends; you will take tart in intelligent discussions; you will improve your knowledge of fraternity affairs, an your appreciation of the work that is being done by active chapters and alumnre clubs. The conferences have, of course, no legislative power, yet they do furnish a cross· section view of fraternity opinion which is of great value. Here is a chance for informal meetings, for worthwhile exchange of ideas, for fair and unprejudiced discussion of frater· nity affairs. Programs are carefully planned by the province officers and the local commit· tees, and much hard work goes into preparation for them. Their subjects for discussion must be thoughtfully chosen, their events well-planned, if they are to have significance. Your part is to attend one of them if possible, ready to contribute your ideas and thus aid in the plan. ning of fraternity progress.
Go once--and we promise you that you will want to go again!

Elsewhere in this issue we devote some space to the Holt House in Monmouth, founding place of Pi Beta Phi. The committee authorized by the last Conven t io n has spe nt a busy fall and winter of planning and supervision. The restoration of the house is practically complete, as you will see in the exterior view taken in January, and lacking only window shutters and the planti ng of shrubbery to show the finished appea rance of the house. The successful placing of the house in as nearly as possible its original condition, is proof that its apparent ruin was an external matter only, that the builders of that early day really bu ilt for many generations, and also that a splendid piece of work has been done by the committee, the architect, and the builders.
The structural rebirth of the house is complete: there remains the task of replacing the furnishings of the house as nearly as possible as they were in the sixties, and the respons i· bility of insuring that the house will be so maintained that it will be a lasting source of pride
to Pi Beta Phi. In the completion of the project, each one of us must feel a deep responsi. bility for doing our part by making such financial contribution as we can to our new project. Not only must the house be restored and furnished, but it must be cared for in such a way that we shall always be proud to see it, and to invite our friends in the whole fraternity world to visit it when they pass that way. A carotaker must be provided, to keep the house lovely for su ch use as is decided upon later, and to give gracious welcome to visitors.
Interesting indeed , and touching too, is it that the first large contribution came in the sum of $100 from Inez Smith Soule, beloved Founder. What will you add to this fund, either as individuals, or through your chapters and your alumnre clubs? Let's make the Holt House a glorious su ccess , a fraternity shrine worthy of the strength of Pi Beta Phi .
The New York Alumn", Club sent this out this ycar-does it fit any of our alumn",?
Do YOU JU ST BELONG
Are you an a ctive member, the kind that's liked so well?
Or are you just contented with the badge on your lapel , Do you attend the meetings and mingle with the Rock , Or, brother, do you stay at home and criticize and knock ?
Do you take an active part to help the work along, Or are you satislied to be the kind that just belong?
Do you stay back near the fireside and cant and rave and kick, And leave the work to just a few , then talk about the clique ? There's quite a program scheduled , we're sure you've heard about , And we'll appreciate it greatly, if you'll come and help us out. Come out to the next meeting, help with your head and heart, Don't be just a member, take an active part.
Think this over, brother, you know right from wrong, Be an active member, instead of "just belong ."

CHARLIE RE U TEMAN
Fraternity Service in the Preservation of Democracy
Add ..... by Miss Maria i.<onard, Dean of Womm, University of Illinois, at the Regional Panhellenic Conference, Iowa City, Iowa.. November 16, 1940.
Dean Maria Leonard was one of four deans of women rated most outstanding in the Middle West at the State Dean's association November 29 in Irene Pierson, '2'. assistant dean of women in the University, presented an award to her chief-mentioned her as the representalive of the American Business and Professional Women at a w or ld co ngress, an author and lecturer, founder and grand president of the national scholastic fraternity for freshman women, dean of U. of 1. women students since 1923.
THIS IS an interesting and heavy suhject, "Fraternity Service in the Preservaboo of Democracy," but it is not too heavy for the world tonight . Some nations are striving to save it while others are striving to kill it! But all the world is thinking democracy tonight, SO I believe this subject is apropos for college and university women gathered in serious and close conclave m as beautiful a setting as this.
The world needs fraternity men and women tonight. We cannot leave the preservation of democracy to President Roosevelt alone. It is not a one-man-job--he needs you and me. The preservation of democracy de · pends on every citizen, today as it did in 1614 when Eliza Lucan, a young and stalwart Virginian, heard her country's call for ships, and planted a forest of oak WIth her own hands for the thirteen colonies. Has anyone of us, in this room, done that for democracy? Mary Lyon , that tiny, redheaded Spartan, 100 years ago, went from house to house in the aristocratic Back Bay of Boston and begged for enough money to found Mount Holyoke so that American women might have a part in higher education. That is a living definition of Service. Her sacrifice, nobility, and vision are the heritage of the American college women of today. Are there any basic beliefs you and I are holding tonight for which we would die? Channing Pollock once said during the depression, "Too long have we lived by the things we possess, now must we live by the things that possess us."
A year or so ago I heard Lady Mary Agnes Hamilton of England speak on the subject "Is the American Woman Pulling Her Weight?" And tonight, I am wondering.
The American woman holds two-thirds of the wealth of the U S A, in her hands She is Uncle Sam's best spender, for she
has 85 per cent of the purchasing power in our country, Nor is Milady unoundful of herself, for she spends annually $750,000,000 in beauty rarlors. She must not stop there -the art 0 living comes not in an outward loveliness . Beauty of Service is the spirit of living .
Let us ask , are we as fraternity women, pulling our weight, considering we are the only students in the world uruegimented tonight on the planet , It is a wonderful thing to be a fraternity woman. We, you and I, are asking a large wage, and we must remember that a large responsibility goes with it.
We speak too readily of America as the land of the free, too seldom, if ever, of America as the land of responsibility. What about the women of Europe tonight? I am thinking of some of my dear friends over there, of my student friends whom I met in Poland three years ago. Lsten to this story, A man there was who grumbled because he had no shoes. He started to curse God, On the way out of the temple, he
Maria uonard
saw a man praying, who had no feet. Thi s is where the European women are today, and this is why I say tonight, fraternity women can "No longer take their education complacently."
It is not enough for you and me to take home from this convent ion a few new suggestions and ideas on rushing , or on the 9llota system , etc. We must catch a vision that will carry us and our campuses into fraternity service to preserve democracy . I hope tonight that you will get a mental conception of a world at a crisis, strangled by brutality, and the part women, the fraternity woman, can play in keeping alive democracy -the hope of the world! As I said before, this service does not begin in Washington, D.C., but on your own campus, throughout your own hou se, and in your own heart.
Begin by putting yourself in the place of the girl who belongs to the very smallest sorority on your campus and approach all sorority questions we have discussed today in this conference from that angle. For the pledge class of every sorority on your cam pus mil!! be the deep concern of each so rority on your campus, if we wish to live the democratic way of life . This will be the beginning of fraternity service in the preservation of democracy. Before the fraternity system can begin to think in terms of preserving democracy, it mu st be sure it is not being undermined within, by the selfishness of ce rtain of its own groups within its own rank s! A principal once asked a high school freshman what he thought democracy was. The boy replied without hesitation, "It's just caring for the other fellow." That is democracy. It is just that "ca ring for the other fellow ." The world needs college men and women who not only know, but who ca re.
In the Greek world, Metaphysics held sway; in the Middle Ages , Theology; today, Mechanical Science rules the world. Tomorrow, what? Tomorrow is an unsolved secret. But we who are praying for light rather than for for ce are trusting that a different, new day will soon come, when a "science of society" as Beatrice Webb calls it, will dominate humanity with a "social sensitiveness," that will bring this "caring for the other fellow." Let us put ourselves in the place of the girls in the smallest group on our campus and try this as a democratic way of college life.
H. G. Well s, the Englishman, has said "If America goes not high, proud, and reso-
lute, co nscious ly taking the ieadershi.l.' of mankind in a new way of living , she Will go low, and drag the rest of the world down with her." The same ca n be said of the fraternity system-"If it goes not high, proud, and resolute, co n scious ly taking the readersh ip of our campuses in a new way of livmg, it will go down and drag the fine leadership of Our organized campus houses down with it. " It is this new way of living that I wish to speak of tonight , an awareness of life as a fine art. Do not look for it in your co llege cu rricula, for "it cannot be taught, it must be ca ught," much as sunlight in a dark room Doctor Isaiah Bowman, President of Johns Hopkin s, said recently, "We are living in the dark hour of a gifted age."
Three stages of human relationships are operating today on our planet. Strange world this! First: that of brutal barbarism, where the destruct ion of human life is going on en masse. Second: ljfe as a trade, where people are selfishly driving hard bargains for self-aggrandizement. You and I must take our sorority life and so rority ru shing beyond this second stage into the third and kindlier stage of living, that of life as an art, for "Education is not something we get, but something we become."
The most I can give to you tonight is just a few Stop and Go lights on life's road, as it were, to make life steady and safe for you so that you in turn , can make life happier and more radiant for those with whom you come in contact. It is not enough that we strive to preserve democracy for ourselves-it must include others, or it is not democracy, for it is a way of life requiring certain strong qualities of mind and heart, with a "sanctity of obligation" to others!
Your generation and mine are summoned as no other generation before has been, to build a new world order. This will take a great faith-a great faith in ourselves, and a faith in others. We, as fraternity women, must not bind ourselves, hand and foot, with petty rushing rules, thus declaring to the world our SUSPICION of others. The great heart of the world is bleeding tonight in war, just because of SUSPICION of others Where there is faith, there is no fear-where there is fear , there is no faith. Which shall we, as fraternity women, choose today? The answer must come from your generation, not mine .
My dream for years has been to carry rushing rules as traditions in the hearts of col-
lege women instead of rules on paper. They say England, in comparison with America, has very few written laws in its statute books. I once asked a Municipal Officer in London about this and he answered very readily, "England carries her laws down in the h«rts of her people " Could we as fraternity women do that with Ollr ru shing rules ? The Good Book has one of the most wonderful rushing rules I know, "The letter killeth, but the Spirit maketh alive ." If the spirit is there "to care for the other {eHow," that is the very greatest one can do for de· mocracy today, for that is the heart of de· mocracy.
Some people have come into my office in the last year or two, and have said, "We feel worried about the Fraternity system today." I ask why. The invariable answer : " It may be losing its prestige." I told that uni · versally when a thing justifies itself, there is no need for alarm, but I would like to add that the future continuance of frater· nity prestige will depend upon where it lays its emphasis from now on. The educational world has the right to measure the purpose, the products of the potentialities of the fra· ternlty systern. It has, in fact, the right to take a spiritual audi t , and this is going on today.
A fraternity is more than a house, a pin, a symbol, or a ritual ; it is more than some· thing to belong to-it is something to live up to. One author, C. H. Freeark, in a recent article, asks this question: "Has the frater· nity system built a Maginot Line like the French, with its fine stone houses, with its prominent men and women whose names radiate from the national rosters, and with its social prestige of campus big shots? And like the French, has the fraternity system re o laxed with indifference on its past glories, believing itself to be impregnable, and like the French, finding itself not impregnable! The fraternity system is on the firing line at the present moment- it is being bombed, perhaps unfairly, but being bombed even so, by the recent books, magazine articles, and the press, by radio skits, and even by the silver screen, portraying perhaps unjustly an exaggerated side of fraternity life.
Let us look at the debit and credit side of our present fraternity system. To me, there is a challenge of the Intelligent, to which class this one million and a half privileged men and women of the fraternIty world rightfully belong with their inherited rna·
terial assets of nearly one hundred million dollars ; a challenge, I say , to drop their weaknesses which have c aused acute criticism through the years; a challenge to find this new way of living wh ich will bring life as an art into our fraternity and sorority houses. I am speaking of " Hell Week" which has been a blot on modern edu cation. If the fraternity world would serve in the pres· ervation of democracy, men's and women's fraternities over the country, must evolve out of " Hell Week, " out of even the cheap and foolish mock imitations of "Hell Wed<, " into an inspirational pre -initiation campus week which will prepare the minds of the young. new initiates for the spiritualized ritual and open door into fraternity fellow· ship, which should be the climax of pledgedom . Never can an initiate approach the beautiful ritual service if he has been humiliated, exhausted,cheapened , and frightened by mock initiation activities . Second- I think a change of "lingo" will help the fraternity systems that were founded as social groups. This is outmoded in the serious world today, they must justify themselves as servi ce groups, not just social groups. For mere social life is too small a base to support such a magnilicent project as the fraternity system. Third- In our rushing syslems, if we can substitute contribution for competition, remembering what that great philanthropic Boston merchant, Ed· ward Filene, has said- "Until we can strive to get ahead with people, instead of striving to get ahead of people," there will always be heartaches in the world! This program means the fraternity system must today become a service enterprise if it wishes to have its part in the preservation of democracy.
For the credit side, if the fraternity sys· tern will, it can fulfill all " mental expect· ancy." First: I know of no human laboratories or workshops in the world anywhere today, where there are finer opportunities daily for developing the spirit of democracy, than in sorority and fraternity houses on our campuses where the weakest members can be stimulated to their best. Serond: they are the best ballast I know of, as a Dean of Women, for upholding social and moral standards on any campus. Third: they can do more for creating and deepening atti· tudes on fundamentals of fine campus living than can the administration. Fourth: they are a direct channel to interpret to the world, that privileged youth can operate life as a fine art.
It is the misinterpretations of life that cause tragedy It is like the man who was arraigned in the police court for speeding . When asked by the judge why he was there, he said, "As I was driving 70 miles an hour, I looked up and saw the sign, 'Fine for Speeding,' and I just kept on, your Honor. "
What is OUf first step in service to preserve democracy? I woula answer, to hold the white light of intelligent c riti cism to the fraternity system , as is now being done to the educational system , to the church, to society, to businesses, and to wealth; in fact, to all processes of hum an relationships.
Three purposes the fraternity system must produce immediately, which are identical with the three aims of democrary, before it can render service to democracy. These are - first, it must p lace more emphasis on the sacredness of individual human pe rson ality. and the development of the Freshman as a person; thus replacing upperdass authority with upperclass responsibility. Second: it must seek to integrate ea ch Freshman into the group life with a harmonious human relationship, developing him as a contributing and creative member of society . Third : it must seek to pass o n to its next gener ation, its very best- intellectual ly, cultu rally, socia lly, and spiritually. This is treating life as an art Let us take the bearings of the frater-
nity world today, and chart its future, just as democracy ' s future is being charted.
Fraternity life must establish the right to serve if it wishes the right to live. I recently heard President Elliot of Purdue, stand before a thousand young women with the challenge, "Be ready to have mOre demanded of you than ought to be demanded of you, and even more than you can do ." This means sacrifice. Fraternity life must be made more significant if it expects to answer the clarion calls for servi ce in the preservation of our democracy. This means turning from competition with each other to contribution for each other. This is treat· ing Jife as an art. Rem ember, we as frater· nity men and women have inh erited a l arge wage, and with it goes a "large ta s k."
Fraternity service in the preservation of democracy begins not at Washington, D.C , it is right on your own campus , it is right through your own group, it is right in your own heart _ In the words of an an ci ent Greek philosopher, whose name is unknown , " Reach over with thy right hand towards those who have climbed the heights before thee, and with thy left, steady those who follow in thy path."
This is the democratic way of life.

We Hear from Anne Guthrie, Colorado B,
Internationally Known Y.W.C.A. Worker
Manila, Philippines November I, 1940
TODAY it rained! Now there will be good luck in the year abead, for it is "All Saints' Day" and if the rain comes, the growing rice will be refreshed, the crop a good one.
So today I am wishing for you, my D.ar Friends Everywhere, as good fortune as is possible in the year that is beginning for all of us.
Here in the Philippines, all day everyone who can has trekked to the cemeteries carrying not only Bowers, plants, wreaths , but also crosses and sometimes portraits of the deceased that they may seem a part of the circle of family and friends who gather. Some have taken tables and chairs and food to serve. At night electric lights illuminate the monuments of the wealthy and candles burn by the graves of the poor. We drove to a high point where we could look down on a field of stars and listeo to the murmur of many voices, punrtuated occasionally by the song of a child. When we went into the cemetery, c reeping along with the never eoding line of autos and carromatas (a horsedrawn two-wheeled cart), I had no one to remember. So I bought a candle, found a forgotten grave, puUed up the weeds, cleaned the marker, and left my candle burning for little Carmencita. All Saints' Day takes on more meaning in a Catholic country such as the Philippines; families save for months to be able to honor those who are gone, working for days to make the decorations for their graves.
But let me tum back a few pages to my recent yesterdays
In this area of the world we have been in a curious state of tension and rele'\Se-like a ball on a rubber string bouncing back and forth It began before I returned last June when five thousand British women and children arrived from Hong Kong and were given hospitality until they sailed to Australia for · ' the duration." Forty of them with their children had barracks in our y.W .C. A. gym, with a play tent and kindergarten in the garden so for a few hours the mothers cou ld have a little leisure.
The last ones gone, the Manila world
heaved a sigh of relief and quieted down. Then word that American women and children must leave Japan and ··occupied Chin · and navy families of the Philip pi nes. Conversation at tea parties consisted of, "Are you leaving?" "Ca n you get a reservation?" "What have you decided to do?" Foe many civilian families left also. But imagine my surprise to hear some one say, "Yes I am leaving with the children on the next Clip · per. My husband says he will feel so much safer about us if we take the plane." What a changing world! A very few years ago when we saw the great bird of the air land on Manila Bay who would have thought we would feel safer on it than on ships of the sea. You even hear of men planning to go to the States to spend Christmas with their families and be back for business again the Ii rst of the year.
However a ship brought us safely to the Philippines where a royal welcome awaited us. Manila has lived up to her reputation for hospitality. I wish you might have joined the group of a hundred who helped celebrate our return in true Filipino fashion , thanks to my dear friend Beatriz Ronquillo, who greets you in the picture. The fiesta was at the home of her father, Don Manuel Pablo, whom you see with his son-in-law Dr. Ronquillo dressed in barong tag alog, a carnisa or shirt made of pina doth, woven from pineapple fibre, beautifully embroi· dered, and worn in comfortable fashion outside the trousers. It is the old fashioned costume but still worn by many, especially for informal Filipino affairs, for it is cool and frequently very colorful.
But the arch under which we stood to receive our friends was the rt'aI triumph of the evening. Would you guess that banana plants, fourteen of them , had gone into the making of it? Striped like their outer covering the trunk of the plant glistens like ivorywhite alabaster, while the purplish red banana blossom pointing upward on the outer columns, gave the effect of the Bame of a great candle. You can not see all the Bower patterns appliqued into the banana stalk background, but the hrown outer skin of bermuda onions cut in h a lf, the greeo peelings of papaya, the red of pimiento, the green of sweet peppers, the purple of egg-
plant contributed to the ensemble. The arch was a real work of art.
After the program of Filipino music and dances, came the most hilarious event of the evening when our hostess turned the tables on us by giving a prize to the one who cou ld best read Tagalog. The menu was printed on the back of the program with a few lines of poetry under each item These the contestants must read. Such shrieks of laughter as they
struggled with the national language of the Philippines. I think they felt the account was squared for Ollr amusement over what we sometimes call "bamboo English." Try for yourself to read of the delicacy called pamil
One who eats
Ang kumakain ng pansitl pansit Makaaakyat sa langit
Will to heaven be transported
Notice at the left the shell windows like the ones in my house . They have been used since the early days when there was no in the Islands. Through the arch you will see
one point of a Christmas star·lantern hanging in the window as thousands are today all over the Islands. For this is the season for making and hanging the Christmas lantern, usually a star but also a variety of shapes. Last night there were innumerable kinds as the various colleges of the University of the Philippines had their annual lantern lighting and marched through the streets around the University in a beautiful and gay pro-
Cr eeJi ngl Irom Ihe Glll h,ies
cession Our own Y.W.C.A lantern lighting ceremonial (from whi ch the V.P. got its idea) was exceptionally lovely and impressive this year as it ushered in the Christmas season for us .
Take one more look, and find tbe white butterfly orchids which we are wearing on Ollr mestiza dresses--the formal dress of the Philippines. Would that the lovely costume of our hostess was clearer; it was exquisite !
To tum back again for those of you who are interested in our trip . We did not sail
until September 6, one year to the day since Our arrivaL Plans shifted and I did not stop over anywhere; so we Daly saw what we could of places and friends while the boat was in port .
Honolulu was as beautiful as ever though we had to be content with tea and dinner with friends and a little last minute shopping before we left the world of "Five and 'fens "
Yokohama gave us time for a drive to Kamakura to see the mammoth, impressive statue of the Buddha, sitting as he has for hundreds of years with only the sky above him, no protection from wind or rain, but calm and undisturbed, worshipped by those who come and go in the littfe garden he dominates.
Our hours in Kobe were made worth while by a friend and her British husband. Over the dinner table and until the dock told us we had better get a taxi before they stopped running at midnight, they gave us glimpses of the Japan of today as they see it after many years of residence. A land of rules and regulations, restrictions and irritations for all , but especially for the foreigner who would do business there . A land of deprivation for the masses with a national debt that has mounted to sixteen billion yen, with each person entitled to only half a pound of sugar a month and one carton of charcoal for the entire winter for both cooking and heating. A land of somberness with all social life restricted , streets dimly lighted, gay colors banned. I heard of a girl who was slapped by a guard because he considered her kimona too gay.
Perhaps also a land which is slowly beginning to be a little more skeptical, a little disillusioned. The ashes of the dead soldiers are brought back in small wooden boxes sacred to the family as a reminder of their sacrifice for their country. One day , the memorial rites for her son over, one of the servants of a friend sat alone with her sister and the little box.
"Shall we?" she asked.
"Yes," the sister replied.
The cover off, they pulled out the top layer of cotton. Then more cotton and more and more. The bottom was near.
"Shall we put it hack?"
"Yes, we had better put it back."
The little box was refilled and closed, but one wonders what of faith and glory of sacrifice had been lost in those few moments
With Indo -China increasingly dominated
by Japan, with a skirmish acro ss the border between Thailand and Indo-China, both OUr near neighbors these "seven -thousand emerald isles" have become spots of uncertainty in a turbulent sea . We are accustomed to typhoons which destroy our rice crop, blow down our houses, drown OUr ducks, but this is a new danger. When the typhoon comes we know what the warning Signal means. But these signals we do not know, and we are becoming more uncertain than we ever thought we would be, about independence in 1946. We want to be independent just as mudh as before. What people do not! But if it is only a shifting of masters, there is little doubt where we stand, though as yet public opinion has not crystallized into any definite expression or action.
Many questions arise, but as yet they seem too unreal to haunt us. We ask ourselves what will happen to these islands if there should be increased tension between the United States and Our neighbor to the north. We are aware of increased activity on the part of the Axis, with Spain doing more than casting an eye in the direction of her one-time colony.
Here we realize that it brings to the United States serious questions to face as to what America's responsibility is. Our flag flies over the only Christian country in the Orient. Democracy, at least in form though not always in reality, is here. At the last election it dared to elect opposition candidates and not entirely rubber stamp the party in power. Two women now sit in the council of Manila, several others in the provinces. It will not be long before they will be running for the National Assembly. Perhaps some one will dare to try for the Senate, now added by the recent changes in the constituiton, which also shifted the presidential term from six years without relection to a fourlear tenn with reelection permitted. This 0 course primarily that Quezon may not have to end his career so soon. To be sure, while there are forward steps, there are backward o nes as well. Money has been squa ndered for improvements that were not essential; much has gone into show things. A new capital called Quezon City has been planned on a huge scale; well planned, started, then stopped for lack of funds. Buildings are begun and not finished. One is reminded of a youthful son with his first allowance that is spent before the first few days of the month are over . Yet good things are here too and the
Philippines is not the first country to waste public funds . Land is being set aside for national parks, colonization plans are developing where peanut and cotton crops ace making it possible for people to get a new start in life. It is hard to think of leaving. To divorce myself from all this and to begin again in a new area of the world, is not easy. But tomorrow the 5.5 Harriron will be sailing with mother and me on board to celebrate Christmas at sea and to begin the new year in our new home in Calcutta.
Before I stop I must tell you a little about China. Our D.F E. school goes on doing a fine piece of work. Much appreciated are the additional funds you made possible by buying the little booklets. Incidentally IOU will be interested to know that Mr. an Mrs. Ford have given as one more link in the chain of $ood deeds which Heng Kiaw started, a stahOn wagoD to the girls of the Y W.C.A. of Manila and have added much to our joy at Christmas by their generosity. When I went to the home of Heng Kiaw a short time 3g0, I marveled more than ever at his gift. He lives at the back of his father's store where hides are sold. To give up a bicycle that would take him away from that dark corner and the awful smell of carabao hides which perfume the atmosphere, was really a sacrifice.
The Indusco movement goes ahead One of the recent interesting reports tells of cooperatives for crippled soldier.; , who by managing their own con cerns are able to arrange a division of labor so those with missing fingers can work treadles, while the blind or half blind can do such things as leather tanning . So the cooperative movement con-
tinues to help rebuild what war destroys in both human and economic values . If in any way you can help the committee now organized in the States under the leadership of Admiral Yarnell, do get in touch with Miss Helen Loomis, 8 West 40th Street, New York City.
In spite of such terrible facts as the one that just came over the radio that up to date this year twenty -seven thousand people have been picked up off the streets of Shanghai , dead from hunger, disease or exposure and that now the cold is bitter and cruel, still the spirit of China goes forward in her struggle This stocy from Chungking illustrates it. Talitha Gerlach (Indiana r), one of our secretaries, arrived in the city ju st after an air raid, when a bomb struck directly in front of the Y.W C.A and ruined the building As she entered , the staff were busy clearing away debris. She opened one of the few remaining doors and to her amazement saw a group of women sitting in a circle deep in discussion. The Board of Directors was holding its regular monthly meeting! Such spirit gives one faith in the final outcome . My next will be from India How much I can write you I know not. All mail is censored but I shall get off some news to you from time to time. Until then all good wi shes go to each of you for as satisfying a New Year as is possible in this troubled world of ours.
Sincerely,
ANNE GUTHRIE

Holt House Lives Again
TH E fine old home of Major and Mrs. Holt and their seven children, in Monmouth is regaining its former dignity. It is claiming the attention of the town people and soon it will open its doors to interested visitors.
The former owner, Major Holt, was of English descent. The family moved to Monmouth from Plattsburg, New York, where the Major was a representative in the New York Legislature. He was four times elected Mayor of Monmouth.
In this gay household lived Ada Bruen and Libbie Brooks while they attended college in Monmouth. In the little southwest bedroom they met with some of their classmates and founded I. C. Sorosis. How thrilling and almost breath-taking it will be for you to see this room when you come to Monmouth'
The Holt House Committee now wishes to give the house a hostess to welcome you. And we wish to install furnishings such as Mrs. Holt might have brought from their New York home or the Major may have purchased on his visits to New Orleans. For this we need money. Would you have a part in giving the fine old home new life and the renewed charm of its former hospitality? Then we must furnish it. Would you have it regain its old time proud position in the community? Then we must preserve it. Would you have a personal part in creating this beautiful shrine of your fraternity which will house historical treasures beyond va lue to all members of Pi Beta Phi ? Then send at once your monetary gift. Also urge your chapter or your alumnre clubs to send money now.
Send chapter gifts to the Province President, alumnre club gifts to the Province Vi ce-Pres ident, individual gifts to the treasurer of Holt House Committee, Miss Florence Butler, 780 North Broadway, Milwaukee, WisconSIn.

National Interfraternity Conference
OUTST ANDING in the 32 years of its history was the 1940 meeting of the National Interfraternity Conference at the Hotel Commodore, New York City, November 28-30. The dinner program, at which Wendell L. Willkie was the guest speaker, was enjoyed by 3,600, the largest assembly of fraternity men in history. For the first time in the existence of the conference every fraternity eligible for membership was included in its roll of sixty. The first annual awards for distinguished service were presented. The conference received a valuable and beautiful trophy to be awarded annually to the undergraduate interfraternity council which carries on the most worth-while program.
The National Interfraternity Conference restricted the expansion of its members to four-year educational institutions accredited by the Association of American Universities . Delegates voted to offer its services to the national defense program. The first conference of Region 1 of the National Undergraduate Interfraternity Council, co mposed of eastern states, was held. For the second time in history, the chairman was relected, L. G. Balfour, former president of l: X, husband of Mildred McCann Balfour, illinois Z, being given that distinction. The single resolution of the conference felicitated him upon the great success of the dinner and thanked him for his unremitting efforts "to organize and carry through that very unusual tribute to the fraternity as a college adjunct."
It was a thrilling moment, Friday evening. when Reinald Werrenrath, Metropolitan Opera baritone, started to sing "The Star Spangled Banner," for the lights in the buge ballroom dimmed and spotlights played upon Hags above the speakers' table. Then came the impressive invocation of the Rev Paul R. Hickok, national chaplain of Alpha Tau Omega.
The patriotic note that prevailed throughout the evening was suggested in the handsome programs found at each diner's plate. There were two full page cartoons , ooe by John T McCutcheon, dean of American
This mau,itd (ame 10 Ihe Au.ow I/nOlllh the (01l,le1l 01 G eo,ge Sla" Lasher, e X, Ohio Uni""Sil" Alh,nll Ohio, lalher 01 MA" Lasher, Ohio A. and 0 lloyd G. Ballo "', Z X, (hairman of N.l C.
cartoo ni sts, and the other by Milton Caniff, both members of l: X Fraternity. The first entitled " The Standards" depicted three college youths bearing banners label ed "Physical Standards," "Intellectual Standards," and "Social Standards," followed by an alumnus with a banner ins c ribed "National Interfraternity Conference." The second showed U nele Sam proudly showing on his vest a large badge, with the Greek letters of the sixty member fraternities engraved on the initials U. S. It was entitled "Brother Samuel's Fratern ity Pin ."
Presiding at the dinner w as Dr . Harry S. Ro gers, A T 11, president of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, hu sband of Grace Larsen Rogers, Wyoming A. Included in his remarks was the following statement of aims of the college fraternity:
"Fraternities stand for the achievement of high scholarship, the attainment of liberal culture, the cultivation of upri g ht character, the development of social competency, and the practice of wholesome fellowship by each and every one of their members. I know of no greater, no finer opportunity for any young man thao that which is offered by membership in a strong fraternity chapter in a vigorous college. While the college disciplines his talents, the fraternity disciplines his temperament. The complementary nature of the college and fratemity programs should give him a rich and full experience and development. "
He introduced Lowell Thomas, K l:, husband of Frances Ryan Thomas, Colorado B, who proved as effective a toastmaster as he is a news commentator.
A four-foot bronze statue, the work of a well-known French sculptor, was presented to the National Interfraternity Conference as the gift of an unnamed " friend of fraternities " by Dr. Dixon Ryan Fox, A X P, president of Union College. This is to be awarded annually for temporary possession to the undergraduate "i nterfraternity council which during the year has been outstanding in the formation and execution of a program to make fraternities on its campus cont ribute constructively to the edu ca ti o nal and social program of its institution ."
In presenting the award Dr. Fox said: "The college f ratemity is one of the soundest and mos t effective in strumen ts we have in the training of good citizens. It is a
training school in the art of living together The technique of broad and generous friendship is not learned out of books, nor from professors. I know of no place where it is so likely to be well learned as in the fraternity house.
'The allegiance to the interf ratemity coun · c il idea represents an attitude that alone can make this a peaceful and steadily progressiv e world.
"Interfraternity councils in American col . leges are not going to save the world, but they represent the principle and the technique that will save the world They must build their authority by the practical reasonable· ness of their resolutions and their prestige by their useful community servi ce.
"This award is a symbol of human interdependence and progress by positive co · operation , of federalized loyalty with which the good American citizen must inform his life. Humanity will be grateful to every young man in every college who catches the spirit of the federalized loyalty and through his life and work translates it into social gain."
Democracy. as Americans know, can be maintained during war time only by fighting to achieve and not by a fight to "defend" de· mocmcy. Dc. Henry Merritt Wriston, A T A. president of Brown University. said in discussing "The Military and Moral Initiative ."
Asserting that the war itseJf and America's peculiar position in teday's world crisis had resulted from a negative, defensive attitude on the part of the leaders of this country and the Allies, Dr. Wriston called for an aggressive program for democracy and peace.
Dr. Wnston's address was a prelude to the presentation from an unnamed donor of two gold medallions "for distinguished service to youth through the American college fraternity ." The honor of being the recipients for the first of these annual awards went to Albert S Bard , X and Dr. Alvan E Duerr, t. T t., both past presidents of their f ratemities and past chai rmen of the Na· tional Interfraternity Conference. The latter is editor of Baird's Manllal o f Fraternities and scholarship chairman of the conferen ce.
The Cornell and Dartmouth glee dubs and orchestras, numbering 150 undergraduates, carried on a lively musical duel through the program , introducing a collegiate touch to the evening.
As guest speaker, Wendell L. Willkie, B 0 n, made a plea for putting public dis ·
c ussion on a hi g her plan , free from personal abuse and villification so that the best and most capable men will engage in political affairs . He a150 declared in the course of his address that it is as necessary for America to give aid to Britain as to build armaments for itself.
'The fraternal spirit in America," he said , " is a funct ioning of the democratic process . In the college fraternities men learn to discuss without ac rimony , to reform without vindictiveness , and to live with each other in peace and accord for the accomplishment of a unified spirit .
"You who have lived together in fraternity houses and know what it is to live together and to arrive at conclus ions under circumstance> where the spirit of good fellowship still lives , I ask you to join in elevating the level of American public discussion so that America may play its true part in this historic and all -determining t ime in the world 's history "
It was a significant address with which Chairman L. G Balfour opened the 32nd annual meeting of the National Interfraternity Conferen ce Friday forenoon after the Rev. A. H . Wilson had pronoun ced the invocation. In welcoming to the council tables K A Society, A t. <1>, ,y y , L> <1>, and A K n, Chairman Balfour reported that for the first time in history the conference presented a united front, being now able to speak authoritatively for the general college fraternity world
He recommended the extension of re o gional, local, and sectional conferen ces as a most desirable part of the program to bring the conferen ce back to the campus, denounced degrading publi city and the part some fraternity men have played in encouraging it, hailed the ever . widening circles of achievement in the servi ce program of the conference, advocated the sponsorship of a philanthropic program as an answer to scoffers and critics of the fraternity system, the use of round table discussions for the con· sideration of problems, the reduction of the budget, and the consolidation of the scholarship and publicity committees , and possibly the panel, IOto a committee on public rela· tlons with the publication of an annual hand· book on fraternities as one of its projects .
He concluded: " We are a powerful influence , these million and a half fraternity men and women who wear our badges; there is no other group whi c h has the framework or
the potential possibilities of disseminating the princip les of democracy. It is our duty during the coming year to devote the major portion of our time to programs considering patriotism , preparedness, and the preserva· tion of American in st itutions . Such a service will be of national worth. It will carve a permanent memorial for u s in the minds and hearts of men."
II B <!> was represented at the banquet by Helen Kammerer McKendrew , Missouri B, of the New York alumn., dub.
The only other address scheduled on the conferen ce prog ram was yresented by L G Nichols, a member of . Ed ga r Hoover' s staff, who told of the problems fa ced by the Federal Bureau of In vestigation and how fraternity members might help by ca lling to the attention of the FBI anything that seems to indicate possible activities of espionage agents, saboteurs , or subversi ves, and then leave in the hands of experienced men the task of taking act ion which the fa cts must justify.
"We cann ot afford an era of witch hunting," be warned. "Nothing would assist the fifth columnists more Nothing could be so destructive as the open infringement of the ri ghts of others."
Inspector Nichols reported that 1,300 out of the FBI agents are fraternity men .
Of decided importance was the report of the Committee on Policy, of wh ich Paul G. Hoffman , president of the Studebaker Corporation and t;. T.t;. Fraternity, was chairman. AntiCipating financial problems as the result of reduced net in comes of men sending their sons to college, increased taxes, and advances in th e cost of necessities and los ses of the more mature undergraduate lead ers because of military enlistment, the report in · sisted that chapter life must be made vital enough to attract the more serious minded and substantial men on the cam pus.
The report warned against in c reas ing chapter as a solution, stating that unwieldy chapters are almost always weakthe standards of selection are lowered and the chapters become more like clubs than fraternities. It cited the fact that prior to 1918 few chapters averaged ove r thirty men,
but now membership has run fr om forty to forty -five, and in some cases much larger. "A further in c rease in average membership might prove disastrous," it declared.
Recommendation s included less frequent national conventions; caution in g ranting new charters because petitioning groups are seld om strong financiall y; sc rutiny of publication and fraternity administration expenses; cooperative buying and accounting; repairs on chapter houses which will reduce operating expenses, g iving parents information as to the financi a l operation of the chapters; elimination of deadbeats and bad debts; curtai lment of " frill s," including elaborate house parties and dances with "b ig name" orchestras; in c rease of work around the hou se by members and pledges; cautio n in rega rd to in cu rrin g new financial burdens; and the encouragement of alumni to assist chapters financially a nd with advice.
His survey showed that 20 fraternitie s condu ct schools regu la rly and that they had noted an improvement of fraternity affairs as a result. The survey al so revealed that 29 nation a l fraternities plan future schools and four more hope to General purposes of the school , as outlined in the report, are more efficient administration of fraternity affairs, better fraternity spirit, and an appreciation of the democra t ic principles th at make fraternity existence possible .
The invocation for the Fri day afternoon session was offered by Rabbi Jonah B Wi se a nd and for Saturday forenoon by the Rev Dr Maurice S. Sheehy College fraternitie s from n ow will be Limited to educational institutions accredited by the As sociation of Am erica n Universities for the installation of new chapters, according to a constitutional amendment passed by the National In terfraternity Conference. This action will oot affect any of the 2,452 chapters whjch at the present belong to the sixty member fra ternities.
The Executive Committee was also autho rized to offer the serv ices of the National Interfraternity Conference and its members to the United States comm iss ion e r of ed ucation or some other governmental agency for t he defense program.

FROM PI PHI PENS
Ediled by MERCEDES BAKER JORGULESCO, MauachuJeJJI A
WE OFFER our apologies to Lily Logan Morrill , Louisiana A, whose book, A Builder of Ihe New Soulh, published by the Christopher Publishing Company, of Boston, Massachusetts, was reviewed in the December issue. On page 233, the title of the book is incorrectly given as Virginia' s War, a previous work of the same author.
Also, we regret that in the listing of Pi Phi poets whose work appeared in the anthology called The Greek World, the name of Alice Troxell McCoun was misspelled. More about her poetry appears in this issue.
A PROMINENT YOUNG EXECUTIVE
One of the most interesting phases about the work in this department, IS the unexpected. One never knows just what the post-
Tiffan] Wagnu
man will bring next, for it seems as though Pi Pbis wri te in every possible type of publication.
One morning we received a copy of BUlane-Propane NewI, the name of which alone was enough to take us aback. A burr ied dash to the diction ary revealed that 312
Butane-Propane was something to do with gas-gas so ld in tanks, to be exact. We browsed through the magazine and in the midst of pictures of compressors, valves and pumps, we came upon a photograph of an attractive Pi Phi, Jane T. Wagner, Iowa r . There was an article written by her ent itl ed " How Homes Service Helps to Build the Dealer's Sale s." It was a very sane and helpful article written by a person with a keen, executive mind . With an economy of words, it showed the dealer how he could organize his activities through home cails, demonstrations, and home service literature, in such a way as to make every woman want to rush right out and buy a gas refrigerator. Incidentally, she gives college graduates who majored in home economics a strong recommendation and urges dealers to employ them as Home Service representatives . Armed with our Butane -Propane News we hied ourselves down to our own gas comeany to find out if they knew who this Jane T . Wagner was. The man we queried looked almost shocked. "Jane T. Wagner?", he said, looking down his nose at us. "The T. stands for Tiffany . Everyone knows who Ihe is. As Director of Home Economics for the Servel Corporation, sbe is one of the most outstanding executives in the industry. Many of us met her recently at a convention in New York. She is not only a competent business woman but a charming person as ell " w . He thrust several magazines toward us,
each containing the same attractive photograph and articles signed by this II B 4>. They gave a woman's point o( view of what a demaods in her bome equipment aod set forth many helpful suggestions to deale...
Then our gas representatives secretary put in a word. "But I like ber for ber recipes Each one is better than the last. Her corpora-
tion sends out leaflets of dishes originated by her and I wouldn't think of missing a one."
It is interesting to know that the same woman who writes straigbt-to -the-point trade articles for masculine dealers, can concoct delicious recipes for feminine cooks.

CAPTAIN LEE HALL OF TEXAS
Dora Neill Raymond's new book Captain Lee Hall ofTexa} is one that will restore your interest in stories of adventurous men of the West.
If you are one of the many individuals who have reached the satiation point of reading books wherein Lone Rangers or their counter· parts gallop over the deserts shooting up Indians or outwitting gamblers for no reason at all, you will be grateful to know that here is one book that can be read and greatly enjoyed by an adult mind.
Only some one with the same background as this n B 4> author can write such a book for she possesses two vital qualifications. First, she is a prominent historian, to whom facts are of greatest importance. Such a qualification insures the reader a true picture of the main character and his times Secondly , she is an excellent story-teller. She knows how to select and arrange the elements of her story without violating the factual.
Captain Lee Hall arrived in Texas in 1869, at the time great herds of cattle roamed the country, railroads were being built and treacherous Indians and gun-toting gamblers harried the life of settlers. Captain Hall was as colorful as his career. In Texas boots and flowered waistcoat, this tall, red-haired "gentleman of the Southern Soldier type" possessed a reputation for a human understanding of men yet was a man of steely courage who destroyed the Sutton-Taylor feud by making thirty homicide arrests_ He was Captain of the Texas Rangers, agent to the Comanche, officer of the Old ThirtyThird. He carried the Army's ultimatum into Mexico, he indited the evasive King Fisher and bagged fifteen criminals in a single month.
The Captain befriended William Siclney Porter, a tubercular stripling wbo came to his ranch for convalescence. There the colorful life of his bost, the many stories he heard, made impressions which he was later
to employ in writing his stories under the name of 0_ Henry. When the work of the Rangers was no
longer imperative, Captain Hall took up ranching and later became an officer of the "Immunes," composed of volunteers for service in the Spanish-American War. Even in his fifties, the adventurous gentleman was not content to settle down to a less exciting life. As a Lieutenant of Infantry, he commanded a detaclunent of native scouts in the Philippines wbere his men "splashed in oozy mud and plunged into the tropic night of jungles" in hot pursuit of the troublesome Aguinaldo.
The author does not allow Mrs. Raymond, the historian, not Mrs. Raymond, the storyteller, to dominate her book. It bas as much to offer the student of history as it has the reader who demands high adventure.

A PI PHI OF SEVERAL CAREERS
Priscilla B . Hu ssey , Mi Chigan B, is are · markable woman , for she possesses that rare ability of combining several careers yet of pursuing each one successfully.
Dr. Hussey, mother of three children , Associate Professo r, poet. lecturer, and author of scientific papers, is one of only fifty women economic entomologists in the United States. Her book , A Tax ol/o mic Li!1 of S ome Plant s of Ec onom i c I mportance was recently published. The fa ct that no scientist whom we asked to review it felt himself competent to do so, is indicative of the esteem by wh ich she is held in her profession.
As an undergraduate at Radcliffe College, Dr. Butler was the secon d woman to be given pe rmi ssio n by a specia l vote of the Harvard University Board of Overseers to pursue graduate work at the Bussey In stitute for Research in Applied Biology, H alVard University.
After graduation, she was Biology In structor at Washington Squa re College, New York University , for three years and Ass ist· ant Professor of Biology at Battle Creek College for one year. Then she was appointed
Assoc iate Professor of Biology at the louisi. ana State Normal College, a position she has held ever si nce.
Dr. Hussey spent a busy and va ried sum· mer in 1931 at the Louis ia na State Univer · s ity Marine Biological Station at Grand Isle. There she gave ten lectures, co llected one thousand marine animals and wrote her de· lightful poem , "Grand Isl e, Louisiana ," one of four recently published in the Greek Leller Anlh ol ogy. In the midst of this heavy program, she spent many happy hours with her three children, Barbara , Roland , and William.
Dr. H ussey has published eight papers on economi c botany, microtechnique. parasites of fishes and birds, and insect embryolow. At present her research is concerned With commercial insecticides. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advance · ment of Science, a member of the Entomo· log ical Society of America, the Association of Economic Entomologists, the National Association of Audubon Societies, the Louisi · ana A cade my of Science and the Louisiana Teachers' Association .
SHE SHARES HER INSPIRATION
When Alice Troxell McCoun, Nebraska B, writes a poem, no one can be quite certain to what use it will be put. H er writing is of such excellence that it has inspired musicia ns to compose, strangers to write her letters, and publishers to seek her out.
For in stance, one day Mrs M cCoun reo ceived a letter from the Ernest Hannan of Blackpool, England , who wrote, " I saw your poem (Wi nd ! of G od) in a ChriJlian Sci enc e Journal while visiting a relative of mine here and so I put a melody
to it." The poem. with its musical setting has become greatly beloved both here and abroad, and its wide appeal caused the composer to arrange it for solo , sextet and quartet . Both the sextet of Ameri can Association of University Women and the Methodist Church choir in Manchester, England , have made phonograph records of it.
Mrs. McCoun's Arabntjllt also was set to music by the same composer, recorded. and widely sung here and in England.
A third poem . Dalu", was set to music by Vernon Bennett, head of the Bennett Schoo l of Music in Omaha and organist for some thirty years in the Fir st Church of Christ, Scientist, Omaha It has been sung as a solo in churches and over the radio.
The Westmore Music Corporation has paid the latest tribute to these poems. Wind J of God and A,abnque will be published shortly with musical arrangements for sextet and c horus and Dawn for solo alone .
Most of Mrs . McCo un's poems have first been published in Christian Science periodica ls and have been reprinted in no les s than twenty anthologies. he has received letters commenti ng upon her work , from many parts of the United States, from Canada and from England Many of the writers, the author did not even know, which is an indication of the universal appea l of the thoughts she so beautifully expresses in her verses.
Even directors of radio programs have paid her tribute. Aside from the poems with musical settings that were sung over various stations, six were selected to be read over KOWH recently ,
Perhaps the most significant honor came when the National Poetry Center of New York awarded her poem LimitleJJ Stlpply the gold medal for Nebraska Thi s poem was included in the Larllest Book of Poetry in the World displayed at the New York World 's Fair and now remains on permanent display in the National Poetry Center Headquarters in Radio City, New York.
By the time this issue reaches you, Mrs . M cCou n's co llection of poems entitled Alld Now 1 Share with Y OII (Poets Press, New York) will be in the bookstores.
We are grateful to the Christian Science Publishing Society for permission to reprint
two of the exquisite poems that have inspired composers,

WINDS OF GOD
ALICE TROXELL MCCOUN
When leaves are rustling, branches bend and sway, Then we are sure the wind is here. Alth o ugh
We see it not , its presence we may know By gentle might and powerful interplay.
When tender words and kindly acts appear; When men do good from overflowi ng hearts, And we beho ld the power that Love imparts ; By these--by these-we know that God is here .
DAWN
ALICE TROXELL MCCOUN
Have you not watched 21 dawn the radiant light Change clouds o f gray to brighter shade o n shade?
Have you not heard bird anthem5 in the glade And known approaching day through sound and sight?
Hav e you not let a prayer flP forth on wings
To bless a hungerinJi: one, to heal and woo
Hi s weary thou};ht again to all things new, Thc=n felt, within , the daw n of heaven this brinAs?
Dear friend, but symbols are the changi ng dawn And early song. When God alon e holds sway, Unfolding forms of good appear whereon
The light of Love casts warm and tender ray Till darkened thoughts of time and sense are gone, And truth proclaims one glorious day.

AMANUENSIS TO JUVENILES
From being the amanuensis to John Kane, painter, to writing children's books and tak· ing in Powers' Elephants in between, is quite a stride. Yet that ama%ing young author, Marie McSwigan, Pennsylvania 6.,
Marie McSwi gan takes the step most gracefully. However, this author's latest book is the matter at hand and her fascinatin g life will have to wait until the end of this review.
The Weather H OII!e Pe op le, by this II B 4> is a " must" book for all young· sters between five and ten years. It is a charming story, well·written, beautifully illustrated , and combines all the elements a discerning parent demands in her ch ild' s lit · erature.
Little Jeanie, ill with a fever , is allowed to play with her grandfather'S quaint little weather house. If it rains, a little man in pasant clothes , emerges from a tiny cottage. If it is to be fair, a wee woman comes out to show her gay costume . And all the while a head of deer looks down on the proceedings from the miniature gable.
As if by magic, Jeanie saw the little man and woman come to life . Right hefore her very eyes, Kurt, Marie, the deer and Lena , the cow, unfold their story. She watches them dine at a table "not as big as a spool of thread" and drink from cups "the size of peas."
Kurt and Marie get into plenty of trouble when the horrid duke wants his land back for hunting. That mean s they will he driven away without any money. But Kurt is a kind little man who hefriends a stranger one day. Many wonderful things happen because of this and the tiny people are saved from su ch an unkind fate. His cou rage and wisdom make him the hero of the miniature village. When the old duke dies, the new duke rewards him in a way to satisfy any imaginative young reader.
But now the story is ended and Jeanie watches the little village and townspeople fade away. " . ... all she saw was t.he little man in front of the Weather Hou se. The little woman was indoors. It was D ecembe r and blowy and cold. It would snow again tomorrow."
The vocabulary Miss McSwigan ha s em · ployed is within the scope of the young reader, yet it is imaginative and co lorful. The publishers should he commended for the book's appearance. The delightful story is beaut ifully illustrated by Dorothy Bayley, and the print is of the size to make readin g easy for young eyes. Why some publishers insist on i ss uing chi ldren 's books in un· wieldy sizes too large for youngsters to handle. is not understandable . Mi ss McSw igan' s publishers have not made this mistake .
Adoring aunts and discriminating mothers of five to ten year olds are urged not to overlook this book . It is far above the average run of children ' s books in every respect .
THE AUTHOR : When we asked Mi ss McSwigan to tell us about herself, she wrote, "A nyone who tried to write is bound to have a co lorl ess personal existen ce (or there does not sum to be time to include fervid living and writing about living So j( this is much more pallid than you expected, I hope to be forgiven."
This is her "pallid" ( ? ) story. The a uthof will be remembered for her excellent work o n the tife o f John Kane, painter, entitled "Sky Hooks," re o viewed in the May, 1939. Allow.
At present she is interested in collectir.st material for the bi ography o( the American genre painter. David G. Blythe (1Sn·6). She asks that if any of our readers have paintings, lett ers, anecdotes or any of his origi nal verse, would they kindly communicate with her. (Her address is 2 17 Tennyson Ave ., Pittsburgh, Pa ) She is particularly interested in finding access to the U. S. Navy files f or 1840 whftJ Blythe was a landsman in the "A fellow sailor on a sistership. Fleming livingston, was sentenced to be bunA from the ya rdarm of the Frigat e Maudoniall," she writes. ' 'The rope was around his nm and all preparations were made for his hanging when he was re-
prieved by the President. AJ Blythe witnessed this and as it is the one and 001, such case in United States history, I it for my book: but information of this naturc is only given out to relatives." So navy wives, this is an opoortunity for you to render a to another Pi Phl, if it could be arn.nged.
Each SWIU1le r, Miss McSwigan does publicity work: for Kmnywood, an PUL "So, with my interest in art biography. I range from the sublime to the ridiculous," she states. "My summer associa tes include everyone from Powers' Elephants to "The Man Who Hangs Himseli for a Living'; from the bill top's Hannaford! and Wallendal to Kay Kyser, Benny Goodman and others."
Did M iss McSw igan caU her life "pallid"?
WHAT THE Olmcs SAY: "A deljghtful story f o r children. The half-real, half-urueal air whi ch th e author has curied through to the very end should prove fascinating to children." DoROTUY KANTN£IIl in the PillJbMrt,h Sun-Telegraph.

BETWEEN Yo u AND ME
June never fail s to bring its challenge to undergraduate and alumni chapte rs. The former mus t ask, "Are we sending out men in whom loyalty has been developed to a degree that they will remai n actively interested in the fraternity throughout life ?" The latter must fa ce the questio n, "Can we prove to these brothers fresh from co llege camp uses who become a part of our co mmunity that the word fraternity means something very real apart from college life?" The right answer s to those two questions will do much to in sure the future of Theta Chi Fraternity . It is too late for the undergraduate chapter to begin to develop that loyalty in the final weeks of the college year. It is not too
late, howe ve r, to do some thing s that m ay intensify the interest that must to so me de · gree have been aroused. Either at a farewell dinner , or at successive chapte r meetings, these g radua ting brothers should be giv en an opport unity to tell what this experience of bemg part of an organization dedicated to the ideal of brotherhood has meant, and in return, some member officer of the chapter shou ld point out the contributions that these de p art ing seniors have made. An ot her as· sig nment s hould be given the g raduates- tobe : active participation in the summer program o f rushing no matter where they are located.
And what can the alumni chapte rs do? They can secure from the Executive Offi ce the names of the men of 1940 who start their a lway s difficult adjustment in business. industrial, or I?rofessional life in the community in whi ch the alumni chap te r is established. Contacts ca n be made and an early autum n meeting arran ged at whi c h these recent graduates will be guests and at which they will be encouraged to tell of the chapters whi ch they have left. In every way possib le these alumni groups should try to m ake the g raduate feel th at h e h as a place among them, and that they have an honest interest in helping him get the ri g ht start in the commu nity . The world has not become an easier place for youth in recent years That fa ct makes the opportunity of the alumni group all the g reate r.

Carnegie Tech is the latest of institut ions which has taken steps to permit fraternities to deed their property to the University as a means of escaping taxation costs. The average fraternity house there has had property tax costs in excess of $1,000 a year. Two fraternities, t. T 1; and 4> K, have already accepted the University's offer and are now, techni. cally, a part of the University's dormitories ... their members pay room rent charges to the University. The University has provided for their amortization of the remaining mortgages on the property at 4.5 per cent interest. Twelve of th e Carnegie fraternities have property sufficiently adjacent to the campus (most immediat ely across Pittsburgh ' s Forbes street ) that the University can take over their property as dormitories.

REDEFINE FRATERNITIES, SoaETIES
As the result of considerable confusion on campuses concerning the character of the many organizations which function in the student body and purport to be educational in purpose, the forthcoming edition of Baird'J Manual of Amtrican Col/ege Frater· nitieJ will attempt to bring order out of the present chaos. A recommendation was made by the special committee appointed by the National Association of Deans of Men and a specific r"'luest given by the Association of Honor Societies ,
The name Frat.,.n;ty will hereafter be CODfined to the social and professional orgaruza.
tions of both men and women. All other organizations will be called Socie/in Phi Beta Kal?pa is leading the way in this reform by refusmg to make any reference to itself as a fraternity. The term properly belongs only to such organizations as base eleclion to membership primarily on pe...,.,al qualifications, irrespective of any additional qualifications in the interests of stabilty and purpose.
The term Hon orary will no longer be used, So many campuses list their honorary societies as honor SOCIeties that a c1eancut differentiation is needed , Consequently, all organizations which are not professional fraternities and do not qualify as honor societies will hereafter be called Recognition or DepartmenIal SorielitJ.
For the sake of further clarification, precise definitions have been formulated for each category . They are by no means perfecl, and the editor of Baird, Alvan E , Duerr, invites suggestions as to their improvement, so that the definitions whidl will appear in Bai rd may represent the best tbought of all who have an interest in this question.
A E Record
A local newspaper (Cleveland, Ohio) is to be commended for its effort to combat the journalistic criticism to which women's fraternities were subjected earlier in the year. On alternate nights, commencing in July, one of the twenty-two National Panhellenic fraternities was featured with a full-page spread on the society page. The history and something of the internal organization of each group were described. However, it is the introduction to the series whi ch I particularly like:
"A sorority actually rates by being and not by saying! The real test of the standing of a sorority lies in the character of its members ... the manner in which they discharge their duties to fellow students . , . the support they give to movements for the benefit of the colleges or univers ities they are associated with and their inHumee on the c ampus in general.
"National sororities today are looking for girts who will do credit to their organization in more ways than the social whirl. Scholarship. , the thing that takes a girl to the top of the collegiate roll and brings her (and her sorority) recognition for 'brains' ... means more to the 'nationals' today than the popularity of the 'scatter-brain' type,
Check the requirements of any of the national sororities and you'll find scholarship first on the li st."
Here is publicity as the fraternity system needs and deserves. But it needs many new s· papers to follow the example of this loca l publication, Perhaps the edito r of you r local newspaper would be receptive to th is idea, if you were to put a bug in his ear?

FOR S UCCESSFU L MA!uuAG ES
By L OU ISE LA NGDO N, Mi
chigan State '38
Reprinted (rom Mor-I.r Bo.,,, QIlIf""I,
The idea of a course in marriage relations for Michi ga n State College was born in the minds of last yeac 's active Mortar Boards and the wheels for the realiza t ion of this id ea was put into motion by Lawain Churchill and some of the new Mortar Boards last spring. The p resident of the co ll ege, Robe rt S Shaw, appointed a faculty committee to work on this project and it asked for a report on the interest among studen ts in the course, and what phases of the subject they wou ld like to have st ressed. Th e comm ittee also sug-
gested the investigation of simila r courses on other cam pu ses.
This fall , Morta r Board wrote to co lleges where th ere were marriage courses li sted, and received rep lies not o nly from th e deans of women co nce rning the n ature of the courses, but from Mortar Board presidents concern· in g the stude nt reaction to these co urses.
In additio n, Mortar Board co mpiled a questionnaire designed to d iscove r three things: first, the amount of information already known co nce rning the problems of marria ge; seco nd , what phases and specific things should be stressed in a marriage cou rse; and third , how the cou rse s hou ld be organized. This que stionnaire h as been filled out by approximately a third of the junior and senior women.
Am az in gly wide .sp read interest am ong up· per-class g irls in such a cou rse was shown. Out of more than 200 girls answering questionnair es, only two failed to express an en· thusiastic desire to take the cou rse if offered p roperly The main st ipul at ion seems to be that the course deal fr ankl y and sc ientifically with specific problems. The biologi cal and psychological phases of the subj ect are the ones which comma nd the most interest.
Proper opinion seems to be that the COUrse s hould be conducted by one Joca l in st ru ctor with authoritative su ppleme ntary speakers brought in, and with small discussions fol· lowing the lecture s Eagerness for spec ifi c and comp l ete information was s hown by most of the questionnaires.
The fin a l organization of the cou rse rests with the f ac ul ty committee, but Mortar Boa rd will continue to work with thi s co mmittee in giving suggest ion s, co ll ect in g data, and publicizing the course. They ho pe to h ave it ready for sp rin g term of this year.
Whil e M orta r Boa rd 's plans include o nly women , much interest among men students has been aroused by the questio nnaires and there is a possibility of t he ir f o ll ow ing Mo rt a r Board's example. In that event, the plans might be made to includ e both men and women, thereby makin g the co urse camp us-wid e .

Winter Events at Beekman Tower
NEW YORK fraternity women, among them many of II B 4>, have sponsortd several unique events this season at the Beekman Tower Hotd, fraternily headquarters in New York City.
First was the PanheUenic luncheon io the ballroom of the hotel on October 26, where three hundred fraternity women from the entire Metropolitan area gathered to honor M rs. Wendell L. Willkie, K A e, wife of the Repu blican candidate for president_ Mrs . leRoy E. Kimball, of- e, presided at the luncheon and introduced Mrs. Willkie, who was presented with a corsage of pansies, Theta flowers, by Miss Margaret FIShback, r cI> B. poet and advertising woman, with an original poem specially written for the occasion. Dr. Mary Crawford, K K r, was principal speaker of the day, and Miss Roxme Beard, Z T A, sang several selections during the lun cheon.
Miss Beatrice Ecks, of II B 4>, served on the executive committee in charge of the luncheon, and two Pi Phis, Mrs. Lowell Thomas and Mrs. Charme Seeds Speaks, were among the prominent N ew York fraternity women who acted as sponsors for the event. Other Pi Phis who attended, were: Mrs . L. H. Wright, Miss Sophie P_ Woodman, Mi ss Elisabeth Thomson, Mrs. Florence Cass, Mrs Herbert Fritz, Mrs. Esther Fernalld, Mrs C. Grant Cleaver, Mrs. John A. Miller, Miss Dorothy Seaman and Mrs Philip Kret schman n .
On Thursday, November 28, the Board of Directors of the Panhellenic Ho use Association and the Board of Governors of the New York Gty Panhellenic served as hostesses at a reception and tea in honor of the visiting delegates to the Interfraternity Conference, in the ballroom of the Beekman Tower. The event, which was sponsored by the two organizations, was the first of its kind ever to be included in the official program of the Conference, and was designed to promote closer cooperation between the men's and women's gcoups. At least two hundred fraternity men and women attended the party.
Pi Phi is represented on the Board of the Panhellenic House Association by Miss Beatrice Ecks and on that of the New York City Panhellenic by Mrs. J. L. Moore.
In order to do its small part in promoting unity in the United States in thIS time of crisis, the Panhellenic House Association has sponsored a series of open citizens' forum meetings devoted to the main topic "All Out for Defen se-America United." First of the series, "The United States-United for Defense," was held in November and featw:ed experts in various fields concerned with the nation's safety, as for example, Capo Bob Bartlett, famous skipper of the E/ft< MorrisleY. who spoke on keeping the ship lanes open; Lyman Beecher Stowe, author and lecturer, who reviewed the present situation in the light of our histori ca l experience; Miss Margaret Forsythe, of Columbia University, on "Education and Defense"; Lieutenant William Starbuck, on "Naval Defense of New York"; and others
In the second symposium, experts in the foreign field, most of whom had beeo foreign correspondents abroad, discussed " The lessons America Must Learn from Countries Now at W ar."
The speakers included Madam Genevieve Tabouis, outstanding French journalist who escaped from France after the fall of Paris and who was one of those definitely sought by Hitler, who once said of her, "She is the smartest woman in the world. She know s what I am going to say befo re I say it," Ferdinand Kuhn, London correspondent of the New Y ork Times, and others from IndoChina, the Balkans, and Austria.
In January, the third meeting will deal with " Hemisphere Defense" and will feature speakers from Central and South America, These forums have created great interest not only among New York fraternity women, but among the public generally and have drawn capacity crowds. The Panhellenic House Association , and its board of directors, feel that they are definitely of value and are of the type of activity which should be furthered by fraternity women today,

Imtead of giving a party for the ch.pter , t",enty little Yaqui Ind ian children were invited to the house for a party. The Y .quis are a tri be of M exican Ind ians who were ailed from that country some years ago and who arc not subject to Indian here.
