EDITORIALS

NUMBER 3

With regret we announce the resignation of M ar jorie Bright Sharp, Texas A, editor of the sectio n "From Pi Phi Pens ." Her work for the ARROW has betn brilliant and mu ch enjoyed. H ers is a position difficult to fill, and we are fortunate indeed in finding that Mary Elizabeth Lasher, Ohio A, would accept appointment to the vacant place. She is a trained journalist, with a dis · tinlluis hed record in her college publication work, and has behind her the fine fraternity spirit and tradition of her father, George Starr Lasher, editor of the Ralll, of Theta Oli. Sin ce graduation M ary Elizabeth h as been a member of the Contributor's Staff of the ARRO W , besides being an assistant on the Convtn l ion Daily at Pasaden a Convention . She needs no real introduction to those who have known her work and her personality-but an article in this issue which she wrote at the request of the ARROW Editor will give to Pi Phi s everywhere an impression of the love for the Fraternity which underlies her life

Stanford Again

We have waited until nOw to present any material about the removal of women's fraternities from the Stanford Campus by th e action of the Board of Trustees , partly because we felt ourse lves too dose to the situation to write of it impersonally and partly beca use no one else had presented iu st the material we wanted in just the form we wanted it. Now we have in thi s issu e a fine article by Carol Green Wilson, Stanford e and a Province Pres ident, which it is a pleasure to present through the cou rtesy of the editor of T he CreIeenl of r <I> B, where it first appeared. Later a more complete report will , we hope, be made on the situation by a fraternity officer who will be sent to Stanford by the fraternities involved to make a complete report on the situation and its background of facts -when that is ready we will give it to you.

Meanwhile we want California Alphas everywhere to know that Pi Beta Phi wishes always to hold their interest and their loyalty, and that the ARROW will welcome news of them and their activities. To lose one's chapter home mu:;t be a hard blow, especially when it came as it did through no fault of their own , and by no action of theirs-hut we hope that they will feel an ever·strengthening tie with the National orga nization, and will take a more than ever active part in all Pi Phi projects .

Of Sportsmanship

We 've said something like this before--but surely we cannot say it too often.

Someone once called rushing "the perennial tOPIC" among fraternity people-and so it is, and rightly so, si nce only through some process of selecting new members can we perpetuate the life of our organizations. So once a year, when "big" rushing seaso ns are over, and only isolated pledges will be added for the remaining month s of the co llege year, it is good for active and alumnae members to settle back in their chairs for some good serious thought on the subject, to make an appraisal of the year in the light of our successes and our failures , and to begin our planning for the future.

The responsibility for wise choice of members to carry on the successes and the traditions of our chapters rests on each and every member of Pi Beta Phi. It is for us to decide that our organization is to face a perhaps difficult future with undiminished strength, since any fraternity is only as strong as its membership. Pi Beta Phi has set up a deficite plan to be followed for recommendation and such plans are only worth while if carefully executed Possi· bilities of error and heartbreak are so many, and so disastrous in their consequences!

Alu= everywhere are urged to recommend to chapters girls who are finely qualified Pi Pbi material , girls with Pi Ph i connections and girls without that advantage-and they do recommend 241

girls, so many of them that chapters in large universities have had as many as five hundred girls brought to their attention in a single rush season! Imagine the task which is theirs, in rutting that list down to a point where real rushing can be done and the active girls may have actual acquaintance with the rushees, and then in choosing from them the girls to be honored with our bids_ These recommendations must be sincere and de6nite as to qualifications for chapter unity-this ru les out the 'courtesy' rushing which so often ends in ill feeling. Chapters should make an honest effort to appraise these girls fairly- and in most cases they do-and they should make more than usual effort to know and like daughters and si sters who are after all ready-made members, with all the possibilities given them by fine Pi Phi tradition behind them

Yet with all the good work aod all the good intentions in the world , when the excitement of rushing dies down, and the girls arc actually pledged, what has happened? Under the quota system so widely used , chapters may pledge only from 12 to 30 or more of the hundreds on their lists -that this is working to the detriment of good feeling in college is being recognized on some campuses, notably at the University of Illinois, where the quota has been taken off entirely, to take care of the greatly inc reased enrolment of girls this year _ In the last analysis, the girls taken into fraternities will be those whom the chapter girls themselves think will be most congenial and most likely to add strength to the chapter_ What is a chapter to do which has 17 Pi Phi daughters on its list, and can take only 19 girls? What of the chapter which wants to take girls from a whole state, or even from out-of-state, but finds its list top-heavy with girls from a single' town, all desirahle and charming, all well-recommended?

Naturally the possibilities for disappointment are endless, nowhere more so than among alumn", who have recommended girls only to have them left off the Pi Phi quota, sometimes to join other houses-and often such girls are happier in the end-<>r to join nothing at all. What should the reaction of such alumn:r be? A hard decision indeed. when a daughter or £' sister or cousin, or the "finest girl in our town" is concerned!

We think the answer lies in a serious two-fold responsibility. The chapter must make every effort to know every recommended girl, with special attention to "Iegacies"-(that hated word !), to give to them the fairest possible chance to be voted into membership . The al= must do their part by accepting gracefully the decision of the chapter, by understanding the problems faced by the active girls, and above all by not saying "I'll never recommend another girl!" This does take sportsmanship of the highest type, such sportsmanship as has been shown over and over again by fine Pi Phis who have met such heartaches fairly and squarely, with deep sympathy for the chapter girls who must make their choice under espeCially hard conditions in these aays when college walls are fairly bulging with the finest kind of fraternity material .

Let 's all be good sports about this!

Installation of Maryland Beta, June 17 18, 1944

By CAROLYN BUCK

A FTER only a year of preparation Pi Beta Phi .Ll. came to the campus of the University of Maryland, in College Park, Md. The girls to be initiated and installed as founders of the cbap· ter had been pledged two weeks before, at the borne of Mrs. Darlington in College Park. A "Cooky·Shine" followed the first pledging. Two of the colonizers, Peg Yeates, Utah A, and Jun e Danglade, Kan sas A, were in charge. The won· derful refr eshments were planned and prepared by the alumn., living in COllege Park. Many Washington and College Park alumn., attended as well as Pi Phi visitors in Washington . Since this was the first pledging of the new chapter, it was conducte4 by both Marjorie Gessford, presi· dent of Di strict of Columbia A, and Carolyn Buck, president of Maryland B, to symbolize the Untty witb which these two groups would work in the future.

Installation week end fell on June 17 and 18. The first event scheduled was the initiation of the new members at 10:00, in the Dean of Women's Lounge, located in the Old Library, one of the oldest Quildings on the campus. An item of interest In connection with the use of this building, is the fact "lhat it was also used as the place of installation for most of the other women's fraternities On the campus, among th em A A A, K K r, and r <I) B.

The ceremony itself was conducted by Amy B. Onken, the Grand President, assisted by Adele Taylor Alford, ARROW Editor, and Susan Saunders. Province President, and was attended by almost 100 Pi Phi alumn., from all over the country . Those initiated were Peg Carani, Lee Faris, Mary Rechnor , Amelia Carroll, Barton Hall, Mrs. Gay Yeates , Dottie Taylor, Bobbie Brown, 243

Mary Louise Schnyder, Ru th Drake, Ann Culp and Judy Marbury

A buffet luncheon was served in the Uni· versity Dining Hall at 2: 30 for the new initio ates and guests. At 4 :00 the Ins tallation Cere· mony itself took place in the same room in which the Initiation had been held, and the

Am elia Carroll (MrJ Charles F J Firss n K ill Maryland n

title was officially given the new chapter, Mary· land B of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity.

Immediately following the installation cere· mony a pledging ceremony was held in the office of Dean Stamp . We were very fortunate

Mrs. J M. Salmderl, Mrs. T. N. Allord, Dr. H. C. Byrd, Mill Amy Onken , Miss Carol," Blick

to have a Pledge Class, however small , in starting a new chapter. Those pledged were Jean Marie Cory, Babs Brady, and Peggy Ran· dall.

Later that same evening all the guests who wished to stay were invited to the Initiation Banquet given in the honor of the new chapter" " . our distinguished visitors" .... . the new initiates"

The table was decorated with fern and wine carnations, and a program for the evening with a silver blue cover and tied with wine ribbon, was found at each place. As congratulatory presents, the three colonizers, Peg Yeates, June Danglade and Carolyn Buck, gave each initiate a recognition pin , a corsage of wine carnations, and a Pi Beta Phi Songbook. The program for the evening was as follows:

"Welcome and Introduction of Maryland B and the Alumn",," Carolyn Buck.

"The Part the Alumn", Group Plays," Polly Hathaway.

"How the Province Helps the Chapter," Mrs Saunders.

"The Role of the National Organization," Mi ss Onken.

The awards given to the outstanding initiates were: Pi Beta Phi bracelet to the most outstanding Pledge, presented to Bobbie Brown. Pi Beta Phi pendant on chain, to Pledge who made the most improvement in scholarship during the year, Lee Faris. The alumna! adviser, Polly Hathaway, accepted a gift of candy on behalf of the alumn", of College Park, from the new initiates as a token of appreciation for the tremendous help given in organiZing the new chapter. As the high point of the evening the new initiates presented to all "Maryland-Betasto-be" a beautiful gold loving cup, inscribed with the name of the new chapter and the date of the Installation. The banquet was closed with the traditional Loving Cup Ceremony.

Besides the speakers those who attended the banquet were: Doris Nash (S.c. A), Mrs John A. Reed , Jr. (Mo n , Mrs. Richard F. Tritschler (W Va A) , Jean Ainsworth Tenney (Va.

The University of Maryland and Pi Phi Beta

WHILE its advancement in recent years, both in the matter of phyical plant fadli · ti<s and educational standards has been <s. pecially rapid, the University of Maryland has behind it a long and honorable hIStory.

The history of the present University is the history of two institutions ; the old pnvately. owned and operated University of Maryland in Baltimore and the Maryland State College College Park. These institutions were merged 10 1920.

In 1807 the College of Medicine of Mary. land was organized, the fifth medical school in the United States The first dass was graduated in 1810 A permanent home was established in 1814 1815 by the erection of the building at Lombard and Greene Streets in Baltimore, the old<st structure in America devoted to medical teadbing. Here was founded one of the first medical libraries in the United States. In 1812 the General Assembly authorized the Col· lege of Medicine of Maryland to " annex or constitute faculties of divinity, law, and arts and sciences," and by the same act declared that the "colleges or faculties thus united should be constituted an university, by the name and under the title of the University of Maryland." By authority of this act, stefs were taken in 1813 to establish a faculty 0 law , and in 1823 a regular school of instruction in law was opened. Subsequently there were added: in 1882, a De· partment of Dentistry; in 1889, a School of Nursing; and in 1904, the Maryland College of Pharmacy

The Maryland State College was chartered in 1856 under the name of the Maryland Agricul. tural College, the second agricultural college in the Western Hemis]?here. For three years the college was under prtvate management. In 1862 the Congress of the United States passed the Land Grant Act. Under this act, the General Assembly of Maryland accepted a grant and narned the Maryland Agrirultural College as the beneficiary thereof. Thus the College be· came, at least in part, a state institution. In the fall of 1914 control was taken over entirely by the state . In 1916 the General Assembly granted a new charter to the college, and made it the Maryland State College.

In 1920, by an act of the State Legislature, the University of Maryland was merged with the Maryland State College, and the r<sultant institution was given th e name, The University of Maryl and.

At pr<seot the University is actively udiog the war effort, having made available its many facilities for the use of the Army Specialized Training Program. Also , beginning with this quarter, a Red Cross unit has been <stablished on campus by the students, and for the past two years, many have participated as Red Cross blood donors.

EQUIPMENT

The University grounds at College Park com· prise 600 acres. A broad rolling campus is sur· mounted by a commanding hill which overlooks a wide area and insures excellent drainage. Most of the buildings are located on this eminence, and the adjacent grounds are Iud out attractively in lawns and terraces ornamented with shrubbery and Bower beds. Below the brow of the hill, on either side of the Washington-Baltimore Boulevard, lie the driU grounds and the athletic fields.

The men's dormitory group, consisting of six buildings of brick, fire-proof construction , provides accommodations for about 500 men students. The women's residence group consists of two modern doemitories of Colonial architecture, accommodating 228 students. These are designated as Margaret Brent Hall and Anne Arundel Hall.

The historic Rossborough Inn, built in 1798, is the oldest building on the carnyus, and for many years housed the Agricultura Experiment Station. It recently was restored abd is now one of the most beautiful and interesting buildings on the campus.

The men's dormitory group is added to by the construction of three more un.ts. And the future holds plans for the construction of a larger stadium, a swimming pool and the 8rouP to be known as Fraternity Row.

FRATERNITIES

College fraternities playa definite part in the social life on the University of Maryland carn· pus . Although the ranks of the men's fraterni · ties are somewhat depleted at pr<sent, the women's fraternities are carrying on the cholastie and athletic competition . The men's fratemiti<s on the campus, together with the dates of <stablishment are as follows: <I> K I , 1899; K A, 1914; :t N, 1918; <I> A, 1919; <I> I K, 1921 ; A I <1>, 1924 ; T E <1>, A r P, 19 28; €I X, 1929 ; <I> A e, 1930; A T 0, 1930; A X A, 1932; I A M, 1933; A A T, 1934; A E II, 1941 ; X, 1942; I A E, 1943

The women 's fraternities on the campus include: A 0 II, 1924; K K r, 1929; K t>, 1929; t. t. t., 1934; A S 6, 1934; A l:, 1935; iIo l: l:, 1936; A t. II, 1940; r w B, 1940; :l; K, 1940.

Many clubs and societies, with literary, scientific, social and other special objectives, are maintained in the. University. In addition there have been organized several honorary fraternities, to uphold scholastic and cultural standards. These include w K iIo, l: E, 0 t. K , MQrtar Board, A A t., and wH l:. Maryland is indeed a fine fraternity field.

The Vital Importance of the Intangibles

By G. HERBERT SMITH, B 0 II, PreJident Willamelle University, Oregon

IN DISCUSSING fraternity intangibles, I bring you this passage from Shakespeare: "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."

The problems we face as fraternity men are not problems of failures of the American college fraternity, because, any way you look at it, the American college fraternity, as it was CODceived, cannot fail. The problems that we face as fraternities have been problems that have arisen by being untrue to the heritage and the principles on which our fraternities were established.

As I understand the American college fraternity, it was based upon the association of kindred spirits for the attainment of certain desirable ends.

Now, we may di.ffer in some respects in the way we achieve those ends, but essentially our aims are not greatly different: the improvement of our members, socially, mentally, physically, morally, and the stimulation of constructive rivalry between our various groups for desired attainments-and here I pause a moment to say that I think we have gotten so afraid of the word rivalry and of anything that smacks of rivalry that we are trying to push ourselves through a mold and thus destroy much that comes through good, constructive competition I don't know any group, outside of college athletes, that have kept the competitive spirit alive on our college campuses more than our fraternities, and that competitive spirit is essential in the thing with which we are faced at the present time : the promotion of friendly relations between colleges.

These are some of the aims of Ollr college fraternity system and some of the intangibles of our fraternities. Now, how true have we

been to our heritage and how true to ourselves?

Close association of kindred spirits? I seem to remember chapters of one hundred and twenty-five men with pledge classes of from forty to fifty men. Kindred spirits and close association? How much is it possible under those conditions? Can there be a unity of purpose when we have such a large group in one fraternity chapter, really large enough to make a student body in the concept of some types of institutions?

The improvement of our members? Are we primarily interested in that as fraternity meo? Or have we gotten so interested in budgets and accounting and mortgages that we can't give attention to the improvement of the morality and spirituality of our individual members?

Constructive rivalry? Has our desire for conformity pushed the thoughts of all the desirability of rivalry on a constructive basis out of our consideration entirely?

Friendly relationships between colleges? I have known of fraternity chapters that refuse to recognize another chapter of the same fraternity in a.ffi.liating members who transfer from one college to the other. Such chapters have even said things that embarrassed . the other chapter because they declared they would not recognize members of that chapter.

I think we have failed in certain instances to live up to the ideals, the intangibles of our fraternities, but the failure that we experience as fraternities is not a failure of the fraternity , but a failure to live up to our fundamental ideals.

Francis W Shepardson often referred to "the altar." I have heard some men even poke fun at the idea of an altar. But if you don't understand what an altar means, then we certainly need an altar in our fraternity chapters .

Of, Memories in Pi Phh

By MARy ELIZAB ETH LAsHER, Ohio A

THE MAILMAN handed me back my college days today when he slipped into the mailbox of our Greenwich Village apartment a copy of the ARROW and one of the Ohio University A/limnuI. I forgot for a carefree moment that

there was a subway to catch and a convention to report as I eagerly tore the wrappers and scanned the pages, leaving thorough reading for a quiet even 109 hour.

Yet those brief glan ces _ the familiar ARROw cover _ _ the ivy-patterned lib'iary whose pi cture covered the Alumnus . . . revived all my college, my Pi Phi , memories with a poignancy that fringed my day with Three years at another time would scarcely be a long enough distance from which to look back at college with nostalgia, but these arc not usual times th ey compress the events of a year

into hours and shove yesterday into the far corn e rs of memory.

Ours was the las t pce·war college g eneration , whi ch makes Ollr memories doubly bright, un · tarnished as they are with the stark words wounded. _ missing killed in action.

Yet for all their gay contrast with college as it must be today, those years did not leave us unprepared for living in a world at war, for planning for a world at peace.

Many imes I have heard my father , speaking from his ( tosc association with his own and other frat ernities , say that fraternity experien ce is the linest sort of preparation for democratic living. I believed him; in something of a detached way I recognized it to be true from my own experience, but only recently have I truly kn own it to be true .

There are things we learned in Pi Phi and others of our friends learned in other sororities that, it seems to me, are well to remember as we work now and after this war to prevent its repetition.

The world can never be "one big, happy family " for the members of a family-know each other too 'Yell for that kind of -relationship to exist successfully among large numbers . It has, however, a very real chance to operate in a friendly fashion on the fraternity principle.

We in Pi Phi learned to live in understandin g without imposing intimacy; to settle iss ues in the 'lJlajority favor while respecting the minority opinion ; to argue without rancor ; to enjoy all types of persons ; to lead and to follow both to the best of our abilities; to speak without fear of anything but prejudice and to fight for what we believe tQ be right and admit without resentment when we were proved wrong.

The war is cruelly hard to fight , but the peace, we know, will be far more difficult to win.

Last Days on the Row

By CAROL GREEN WILSON, K A e, Stanford' 14

Reprinted (rom Ihe C,nUIII Gif,U'" Phi B,,", with the d ilor's permias ioo

This article, prepared for publication in the Stanford Alumni Rev;6w sums up the sentiments of Panhellenic members whether or Dot their sorority wu one of the nine represented on the Stanford campus . It was written by Mrs . Wilson, province president of K A 9

TH ERE IS ENFORCED "c alm" on the Farm ; for the "W inds of Freedom" have temporarily ceased to blow By edict of the Board of Tru stees alumna! of the nine Panhelleni cs are dosing up the affairs of their respective chapte rs after fifty years of loyal service to Stanford. With deep regret their n ational councils voted unanimously on May 17 to conform immediately with the recommendations of the Trustees.

Withdra wal of the charters of all the women's fraternities, effective July 1, will clear the ground for "the unification of women 's housing under university ownership and supervision" as recommended by the Trustees' report. Thus, because the protests of opposing factions have finally drowned the claims of an important fraction of the Stanford family , our Alma Mater has been deprived of future participation in intercollegiate associations of nation-wide strength and prestige

Sin ce the fir st students registered in the university there have been members of these Greekletter soci eties working for and with Stanford. Dr . David Starr Jordan himself and many of the "Old Guard" faculty were affiliated with various fraternity groups , and they welcomed, even invited, the national organizations to share in this far western pioneering educational adventure . Women came in at the beginning, always on an equal footing with the men In fact , one of their chapters is older than the university itself. It was installed at the College of the Pacific in 1889. two years before Stanford opened, and transferred along with its undergraduate members to the new university. All of the groups who are now leaving Stanford came in during the first twenty years . Their cumula tive membe rship thus comprises at least four thousand actual or potential members of the Stanford Alumni As sociation.

Some explana t ion as to why their home ties are being severed is due them as well as the men and women all over the world to whom the fraternity idea hol ds validity as an Ameri ca n institution dedicated to the purpose of developing socially adequate individuals trained in group

loyalty and thus prepared to serve their college and later to meet the broader demands of mature life. A recent letter from a pledge in another university sta tes this so dearly that it will bear repetition:

"It really js important," she wrote, "for uS to realize that sorority life is not a one-way road bene6ting only the ind ivi dual ; rather, it is the avenue upon which mutual service travels."

Why. then, is Stanford depriving hers elf of the cooperation of national organizations which have proved themselves valuable?

We are told by our Trustees' Committee that "the dual system of responsibility for the housing and social program now in effect is not in the best interests of the women students at StanfoJd"; that, " t his system has caused serious disunit; among Stanford women , impairing the university·s ability to meet its imperative obligations and responsibilities in respect to women students. "

That statement reveals at once the misunder· standi ng which has brought sorrow to innumer· able alumnre and bewilderment to the current generation . The fraternity system functions with or without housing units ; but many univer sities, Stanford among th em, have welcomed the assistance of house corporations formed to build homes for their members and thus lighten the burden of sup plying dormitories or other dwellings for a portion of the student body_

From the beginning this has been of necess ity a "residence university." RobJ e and Endna were built at th e same time as the Inner Quad; but enrollment soon exceeded expectation s and their were no funds with which to build more dormitories. Jane Lathrop Stanford hers elf agreed to the plans of the early hou se associations and seve ral of the leilses which are about to be abrogated bear her signature upon papers giving to the lessees "the right and pri vilege of erecting hou ses, outbuildings and other improvements . . . the same to be used for the following purpose alone, and for no other. that is to say 'for the purpose of a fratern ity hou se to be used only by House Associat ion ; it being specia lly convenanted , agreed and understood that the same shall never at any time whatever be used as a boarding or lodging house."

Contrary to current interpretation of the fra2'1

ternity system in other universities, and revers· ing the policy of earlier administrations, Stanford authorities in recent years have chosen to regard "chapters" and " housing units" as synonymous, limiting arbitrarily the number in each group to those who could be accommodated in the house. In addition to the restrictio n on the number in the existing groups, the uni· versity, as the number of women in the student body increased, shut its doors to other national groups who could have increased the use fulnes s of the fraternity system in the student body.

Consistently through the years a conviction in the minds of the administrative staff that there is "a conBict of loyalty " fraternity and university "u nder conditions peculiar to Stanford" has been indoctrinated into chosen leaders, until those women who honestly thought they were serving their university by taking advantage of the opportunity their fraternjties gave for extra leadership training were co nstantly under suspicion and made to feel apo logetiC for the very ties that bound them to each other and to Stanford As mute evidence of this psychologically divisive implication Stanford women have for years refrained from wearing their pins-until in response to a wave of warm sympathy from friends in the halls when the ouster was announced an chors, arrows, crescents, keys, kites , and jeweled monograms came out of hiding to be worn proudly during these last days on the Row.

The defeatist attitude that "it won't work here " has consciously or unconsciously become so ingrained in the thinking of recent years that many members, both active and have

As Adopted by N.Le.

The Decalog of Fraternity Policy was adopted by the National Interfraterni ty Conference. Its provisions include: the teaching of men how to live and work together, adding a frateenal influ ence for correct living and individual devel· opment; recognition that the fraternity must be amenable to the rules and regulations of the co Uege institution , sharing in all the college responsibilities of the undergraduate, matching the discipline of the college administration, and accepting the added responsibility incident to the supecvision of group life in the chapter house; successful management, requiring sound finan cial practices and good housekeeping methods; excellence in scholarship; development of morn and spiritual qualities in the individual;

become outspoken in their belief that what they prized and enjoyed would have to be sacrificed to Stanford·s ··greater good." National oBicers had found it increasingly diBicult to promote normal fraternity living on the Farm just be· ca use of this attitude . Th e real wonder is that in spi te of this long·continued "war of nerves " the organizations have held together until summarily dismissed from the campus. It is especially gratifying to note the loyalty , both to the fraternity and university , that is manifest among the active girls caught, as it were, on the rip tide.

Panhellenic women of Stanford have always st ood ready to try to remedy the diBiculties which the authorities have emphasized . rather than helped to smooth; but every suggestion has met with rebuff. They deeply regret that , standing on the threshold of a new era for Stanford, one in which the slogan of the Alumni Association is "closest coo peration with the administration." the backwash of twenty-five years of misunderstanding should clog the free Bow of spontaneous effort.

Dr. Tresidder has replied to the Panhelleni c letter that "all of us here at the university are fully mindful of the many splendid contributions which sororities have made to the lives of Stanford women over the years . For aU of this we are very gratefuL" It is a source of keen dis· appointment to the thousands of Greek-letter alumnre that this gratitude could not have been expressed in a few years of genuine cooperative effort to adapt the best fraternity ideals to Stanfard ·s peculiar opportunities.

encouragement of the acquisition of knowledge and traini ng in cultural subjects; the development of social graces, the art of good living, courtesy and kindness, as good manners . good taste, and food companionship are a part of the training 0 every member; provision for health· ful housing and practices; the teaching of good citizenship in the chapter house and civic responsibilities as members of the college community, thus preparing for later life ; the development of qualities of human understanding, companionship, kindness , with a knowledge and training in appraising the basic values of life, leading towards a better civilization with peace and understanding among all peoples.

FIRST member of Pi Beta Phi to I>< reported as having died in the service during the present war is Mary Helen Hitch, III. B and Iowa Z, who was serving with the Red Cross in Europe as assistant director. The Wac Departmtnt account of her death which came to her sister, Eleanor Hitch McGee, also Illinois Beta, said that with a staff of Red Cross personnel she had been sent by plane on a mission from Naples, Italy, and was fiying about 60 miles from the coast of Sardinia when the pilot radioed engine trouble. Shortly afterward another message said their plane was going down. Planes and boats were immediately sent to the spot, but a few pieces of wreckage were all that was found .

Mary Helen was initiated into Illinois Beta, but finished her education at the University of Iowa and affiliated with Iowa Zeta. Upon graduation she taught Physical Education at Fort Madison, Iowa, later accepting a teaching fellowship at the University of Arizona, and teaching in the Tucson High School. Upon the outbreak of war she was eager to get into active service. First she worked at the Arsenal in Watertown, Massachusetts , and then volunteered for overseas duty with the Red Cross. In July, 1943, she was sent overseas, going first to Africa, then to Naples. The fatal accident occurred June 14, 1944.

In January, 1943, in Naples she met another Pi Phi Red Cross worker, Helen Turner, and enjoyed friendship with her - sino is still with the Red Cross in south -

ern France. Mary Helen's close friend, Mary Remley Wunder, Iowa Z, wrote of her, "Mary Helen truly represented the real spirit and ideals of Pi Beta Phi."

Oregon Gamma Initiation

By BETIY .ANDREWS

OREGON r was fortunate to open its lirst school year with the visit of Miss Onken and Mrs. Warren Smith for initiation of sixty· three alu= This occasion will have lasting benelits throughout the year and the years to come. It was a special occasion not only because it gave a large group of interested alumn., to back the chapter but also because it gave much inspiration, inspiration from initiation itself and from the privilege of renewing our friendship and appreciation for Mrs. Smith and of know· ing Miss Onken's true charm and fineness which are symbols of Pi Beta Phi.

The weekend began with the registration and pledging of alumnae on Friday afternoon. That evening the new alumna:: pledges were honored at a cooky.shine which was climaxed by Miss Onken 's talk on Holt House and the Settlement School.

On Saturday Miss Onken, assisted by Mrs. Warren Smith and Mrs. G. Herbert Smith, initiated the alumnae. The ceremony was per-

Another Phi Beta Kappa

formed by Miss Onlcen with such dignity and beauty that everyone participating was deeply inspired. .At the banquet which followed the initiation the chapter learned that it had received a gift $484 from the newly initiated alumnae.

On Sunday morning the actives and alumn", accompanied Mrs. Smith and Miss Onken to Nancy Black Wallace's grave where Miss Onlcen placed a wreath. Present at the ceremony were Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wallace, son and daughter. in·law of Nancy Black Wallace. Mrs . Wallace is one of the newly initiated alumnae.

That afternoon the actives held a reception in honor of Miss Onken so that the faculty and town people might have the privilege of meet· ing her and Mrs. Smith.

The members of Oregon r felt deeply fortunate at having the opportunity of knowing Miss Onlcen. Her charm and her sincerity impressed each of the girls and left them all with a new and finer impression of Pi Beta Phi.

Josephine .A Kirk, Vermont A, was chosen for Phi Beta Kappa at the commencement exercises of Middlebury College on October 23, 1944. She also graduated with honors in drama.

While a student Miss Kirk was very active in the College Players-starring in many of the plays and also working on the crews. Now, as a graduate she has returned to Middlebury for one year as an assistant in the drama department. Her work is maWy with the technical end of the different productions put on by the Players.

"My studies at the Cleveland Clinic are more fascinating than I had hoped. Our course is well organized, and our lecturers, many of whom are prominent physicians, are giving us the ben efit of their experience and a lot of their time.

"Ou r class numbers 13, but so far it h as been very lucky! We are having a grand time-lea rni ng together and practicing o n each other .

EVEN if you have never been to Holt House, you will wlnt to know about Mrs. Carey, who lives in the House, guards the antiques, attends to the housekeeping, arranges for meet-

jngs and parties, and conducts casual visitors through the rooms.

Mrs. Carey was born in Wales, where she attended a school for girls until she came to America with her parents . Her first name, Blodwen, is remini sce nt of the Celtic lore of her ancestors . Fully aware that the name is strange to Ameri ca n ears, she has long since grown accustomed to good-naturedly spelling and repronouncing it for ea ch Dew acquaintance.

Her family settled in Newton , Iowa It was there that she met and married Charles Carey; jus t after the first World War Their daughter, Connie, was born in Newton and attended public school there . When Connie was graduated from high school in the summer of 1941 , it was decided that she would enrol at nearby Monmouth College in the fall However, all plans for the future were suddenly interrupted by the death of Me. Carey in August.

Refusing to be separated from her mother just at that time, Connje insisted upon remain-

ing ' at home, at least for a year. It was then that Mrs . Carey, hearing that the Holt House Committee was in search of a receptionist, applied for the position and was accepted Of this circumstance Mrs. Carey says. "I was very thrilled, because it made it possible for Connie go to Monmouth that fall and we could be together at a rather trying time for both of us."

Connie was initiated into Illinois Alpha Chapter in October of 1942. She is now a senior, majoring in Voice. Her engagement to Ensign Daniel C. Pelton, a Monmouth graduate, now on submarine duty in the Pacific, was announ ce d last yea r. If Ensign Pelton obtains his expected leave, they will be married during the summer.

Except for occasional vacations , the Careys are in residence at Holt House throughout the year. Th ey occupy a suite of rooms, furni shed for their use, on the second floor of the House . Like all of us these days, Mrs. Carey, at times, experiences difficulty in procuring yard men, furnace boys, and cleaning women. The House is far from being as complete as we would like to have it, but Mrs. Carey understandingly cooperates with the Committee in planning for the improvements that we desire to make after the war.

.

An idea of the type of meetings and parties for which she arranges might be gained from this list of organizations which used the House during the months of October, November and December. The Warren County Women ' s Club (meeting), The Monmouth Women's Club (meeting) , D A R (meeting) , P.E O (meeting) , Illinois Alpha Chapter (dance), Monmouth Women ' s Club (Christmas party ), P .E.O. (Christmas party). The Faculty Women's Club and the Young Business Women's Club are among other organizations which have used the House regularly . And of course there are always Founders' Day celebrations which are attended by Alumnz from nearby towns

Of her nearly foU! years of association with the fraternity Mrs. Carey says : " I love my work here at Holt House, and 1 try to make our visitors feel as welcome as if it were actually my own home. The many lovely Pi Phis I've met here have made the job of receptionist very worthwhil e and interesting."

Pi ;Phi Fellow, Dr. Ide Macey Hoobler, Virginia Alpha and Colorado Alpha, wins lXlore honors

The Board of Directors of the M ethodist Children's Home Society has announced the appoi ntment of Dr. Hoobler ' as c hairm an of the

lfie Mar ey H oob ler

Health Committee. The lAnlern says of her , "s he has all the professi onal brilliance of any man softened by many feminine charms which make her a truly great woman."

From the Ameri can Merchant Marine Library Association, 45 Broadway, New York 6, N.Y., comes an earnest appeal-"Will you and your alumn., clubs send your books to sea?" One hundred sixty thousand .eamen need books to read! Reading is one of their few forms of relaxation while on sea duty when the average length of a voyage is over five months, and radios cannot be used, as that might give the position of the ship to the enemy.

Further co rrespondence with Mr. George R Rogers , Executive Secretary, indicates that the books most in demand are those likely to be of interest to men----especially those which are currently popular, whether novels or books of nonfiction such as biographies, histories and books dealing with the political and social problems of the day. Western stories are especially sought after. " Pocket Book" editions are most desirable because of their compactness and light weight, and the popular magazines-Readers' Dignl, 262

Dr. Hoobler is the very able Director of Research Lab of the Children's Fund of Michigan. Besides her present position she is Consultant for Nutrition to pediatric stalf of Children's Hospital of Michigan: Member of Food and Nutrition Board of National Research Council: President, American Institute of Nutrition. She was the first wom an to be chairman of a divi s ion of the American Chemical Society: was the first woman to be chairman of a local section of the American Chemical Society (Detroit section) and has been Secretary and Vice-President (now pre!ident) of the American In stitu te of Nutrition. Her degrees includ e : A.B. , Central College for Women; B.S., University of Chica go; M.A ., University of Colorado; Ph.D ., Yale University.

Besides these she has received several national awards and university fellowships and is an active member of some twenty national professional societies and associations-many of which have chosen her to high office or as c hairman of an important comm ittee . In some cases she is the only woman member and in many instances she ha s made the outstanding contribution of the group.

Dr Hoobler 's work has been much concerned with the nutrition of children, and she is author of many monographs on phases of her subject.

HEADQUARTERS, EUROPEAN THEATER OF OPERATIONS From WAC private to captain in 14 months is the Army carea of Capt. Barbara White, California B, of San Francisco, CaJif.. commander of • WAC unit in London.

Capt. White, probation officer fo r the San Francisco Juvenile court prior to her enlistment as a WAC private in Janua ry, 1943, credits bet success in the Army to six years' training in social work.

"1 believe in helping the individual enlisted woman as much as possible, " she says. "We observe Army regulations without unnecessary regimentation . & few and clear-cut rules as possible-tbat's the wa, we work together."

Capt White was commissioned a second liNtmant at Fort Des M oines, Iowa" in March, 1943. served there as aecutive officer to the WAC dir«tor of the tniniog center. received her first lieutenant's silver bars in July and was promoted to her present nnk in FcbCl1l.lY. 1944, after being stationed in Lond on four months.

Capt. White drills Wacs in London's famed Hyde

''The unsettled feeling so apparent then is • far cry from the spirit of determination and positive aC· complishment that I see eve.rywhere. That's the Arat· est difference I've fo und between pre war En.stland and the England of today," c.pl. Whi te remarked.

Mt. LeConte, the Sentinel

Mt. LeConte. majestic sentinel of the Great Smokies, guards Gatlinburg with its 6,593 feet of dazzling frozen . beauty, illuminating the wintry scene with spectacular silvery sp lendor . For centuries she has stood gazing with impassive countenance as changes have come to her beloved valley.

She has seen the red skins roam the trackless wilds in pursuit of game and watched them stalk their foe. the white men. with relentless strides. She spied the pioneers on the Old Indian Gap road, a trail worn by moccas ined feet, p10dding up the steep, hazardous ridges through primeval forest , to sink in apathy and dejection on the western slopes of the hitherto impassable mountains .

Just at _ the tum of the century she viewed with suspicion stray travelers who wandered into the community and in 1912 she saw a strange and new sight, a delegation of women who left the little narrow gauge train at Sevierville and journeyed into Gatlinburg by wagon over a bumpy, rutted road She watched them start a school and for the next few years she noted with interest the improvement in th e health of the mountain people, the raising of the standard of education and the opportunities

LeConte. which has been a silent observer over the ages, glistens in the sunlight and stands a beacon to attract more and better opportunities for her mountain people.

Gatlin burg in Isolation

For several days this December the bus over th e mountain highway did not run on 'account of the icy roads and heavy sleet storms. Once more Gatlinburg was cut off from the rest of the world by the same barriers which kept it hidden away in the mountain "pockets" for so many years. But what a changed community! Now the inner resources of the people, the "abundant living" which Pi Beta Phi has developed, the many kinds of activities and many ways of spending their days fruitfully, have so enlarged their vision that it disturbed them little whether they were hedged in by storms or not. Ouistmas festivities were underway and life was full of interest. Do you remember that it is only thirty.three years ago since Dell Gillette told the story of the Christ Child to children who had never heard it before?

As Mt. LeConte stood vigil, a sound of steel on steel began to echo through the mountains and soon the last link between Asheville and Knoxville was forged with a wide macad am road over the mountains which brought an unceasi ng procession of hig h -powe red motorcars and a horde of tourists through the new Great Smoky Mountain Park , decidedly quickening the scene and changing forever the tempo of the community. Proudly Mt. LeConte watched as her people adjusted to the changes, giving her silent app roval to the m arch of progress and nodding with assent as she saw the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity guiding and stabilizing the forces, too swift and too abrupt, which threatened the sound progress of the mountain Burg, weeding out the influences which were subversive and

When the Pi Beta Phi School opened this 266

last faU , both staff and student body were en· thusiastic over the new stage curtains and cyclorama which had been instaUed during the summer vacation . Plans were soon under way for a suitable program of dedication with Mrs. Qarenee Sale, chairman of the Settlement School Committee, speaking for the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity, presenting the gifts to the School and dedicating them to the service of the young people.

The devotional exercises were opened with the parting of the curtain s to show the tiny tots of the Third Grade, a dozen strong, who under Mrs . Blanton's direction , gave the clevo· tions in very reverent manner, afteoc which they led the audience in the National Anthem and the pledge to the lIag The curtains were then closed while two large baskets of leaves were placed beside a table on the stage. The entire stage was a mass of beautiful dahlias

contributed by Mr . Law son and the co lors blended harmoniously with the curtains and cyclorama.

After the audience had sung .. Am erica," Dorothy Maples spoke briefly on the of a High &hool in this Wartime Period." Miss Dyer, Director of the Pi Beta Phi School, introduced Mrs. Sale who spoke of the long asso· ciation of Pi Beta Phi with the Gatlinburg com· munity and expressed the idea that Pi Beta Phi is a fellow-citizen, working with them all for the best interests of the mountain people . She then dedicated the curtains "to a future of working together that our boys and girls might have stronger bodies, keener minds, and lhe opportunity for economic independence."

Jack Jenkins accepte d the curtains and ex· pressed the appreciation of the student body, simply and effectively. After a number by the Glee Club, Mr . Medlin expressed the apprecia· tion of the cit izens of Gatlinburg for aU that Pi Beta Phi has done in the past and specifi. cally for the curtains.

Six girls sang, 'Speed Thee, My Arrow" after which Mr Fleming concluded the program by thanking the Committee for the gift and called upon Miss Fenn to demonstrate bow the cur · tains and cyclorama worked and how many ways they might be used , also the proper use of the dust bags when the curtains were not in service.

Many letters were written to Mrs. SaJe voic · iog appreciation and excerpts from two are revealing. Edward Phillips says, "They seem to have an effect upon the whole school. They ce rtainly make our stage look one hundred per ce nt better. They seem to make our audio torium bigger and brighter so J am one of many who are thanking you ." And Jack Jenkins adds, "I am writing this letter in appreciation of the beautiful curtains for the stage They make the whole school something to be proud of. They not only make the stage look beautiful,

but they will save much hard work in producing plays. To show my appreciation J will do my best to take care of them and to keep them clean. In dosing I again express my gratitude to you and all the other people who helped pay for the curtains."

School Activities

Some of the activities which have made this last fall eventful are the Halloween Carnival, th e Parent -Tea cher As sociation rummage sale, netting $lO), the affiliation of the Parent· Teacher association with the National organization, starting a hot lunch program, the dedication on October 26th, Thanksgiving programs and a week of festivitie s at the Christmas season.

Miss Dyer writes: "Miss Redding had a Christmas meeting for her weavers. They sang Christmas carols and listened to a Christmas sketch which Miss Redding read to them. J showed my collection of Christmas boxes and there were ice cream cones for refreshment."

WELTHY HON SIN GER FISHER , Fr ederic k B ohn Fisher WORLD CITIZEN, The Macmillan Co ., 254 pp

In her husband, one of th e youngest Methodist bishops and certain ly one of the most broadminded of mini s ters, Welthy H Fisher has a subject both warm and colorful, practi ca l and impetuous. She has written her biography of the late Frederick Bohn Fisher in a conversational manner, almost as one women might speak to another of a husband whom she both admires and Joves, and thi s treatment fits her ce ntral character as a more pedantic one would not.

When Fred Fisher's grandmother, a borderline Southerner. spoke to him in her soft drawl of dillerent ra ces, saying brieRy "God was color blind" h e received. according to his wife. his earliest lesso n in world unity . Almost from " that day can be traced his career as "world cit izen."

As a young man , only two years past twenty. he began the travels, to whi ch h e devoted much of his life, and his work which was , essentially, improving the under standing, religious and otherwi se, among the peoples of the earth. In Indi a where he was fir-st se nt from this country , Fred Fi sher met Hindu and Moslem scholars and cut through and away th e red tape whi ch bound the more orthodox missionaries.

It was typical of him that, s hortly after his arrival in Indi a, he married a young couple upon their request only to learn late r that American missionaries had no right to perform the marriage ce remony there. The other mi ssionaries were appalled and even more so when the new arrival calmly telegrap h ed the case to the Vi ceroy over the heads of a ll other India officialdom.

The book is a lengthy, but well.organized, chronicle of his life and i ts interlockings with such colorful and varied personalities as Theodore Roosevelt, about whom Mr. Deming himself wrote a book, and "Buffalo Bill" Cody After a comfortable boyhood followed by four years at Allegheny College where he was a member of a T a Fraternity, M r. Deming set out into the world selling encyclopedias, a trade which he soon thankfully relinquished for the more inspiring newspaper field.

Shortly he became editor and part owner of the Warren (Ohio) Tribune only to become intrigued with the "Go West Young Man " s logan of the era and to l eave Ohio in 190 1 for Wyoming where he acquired the Cheyenne Tribtme which he renamed t he Wyoming Trib· line.

Though newspapering was his first interest, Mr. Chapin did not limit himself and when h e retired his business interests included real estate and participation in many land, irrigation and bui lding projects. In addition, h e served as

president of the U. S. Civil Service Commis· sion.

While Mrs. Spring's book does not fall into the almost fictional category of some biography, it should be invaluable for a variety of reference uses and as a record of a colorful period in journalism.

AUTHOR INTEREST: Agnes Wright Spring, Wyo· ming A, is the former state librarian and his· torian of Wyoming and has been highly commended by Mr. Deming for her tireless and accurate com· pilation of a wealth of data.

RANDOM NOTES: Florence Page Jaques, Illinois H, for her new book, Snowshoe COllnJry, University of Minnesota Press, 111 pp., has been receiving the plaudits of critics, one of whom said, "Much of this winter record, indeed practically all of it, will be spontaneously read aloud and rightly. for it shares and spreads unforced enjoyment,"

The book is a sequel to Mrs . Jaques' Canoe COlin· Jry, and both are based on a trip which she and her husband, who has illustrated the new volume, took shortly after their marriage. Further commen ted the critic, "the effect of the whole book is of a happiness renewing itself with every moment,"

Arizona's "Calling" Plan- by Emily Smith , Arizona A

At Arizona men call up sorority houses to get acquainted with th e girls!

The "policy" began at the first of last year, when there were so f ew men on campus that the ratio was three girls to each man, At that time, there were three Bying field s near Tucson, a Naval Indoctrination Cente r on the campuswhich was composed of 1000 men, the ASTP unit, and about one hundred Army engineers. The campus Social Committee gave dances to help introduce the men to campus girls, but the dances were not highly successful because th e men often did not get into town until later in the evening.

The calling·up began as an informal sort of thing, and then grew into an acceptable fashion, sanctioned by the Dean of Women. H er one stipulation was that no girl should make a date over the telephone to go out with one manthat is, she stressed the fact that parties should be arranged rather than single dates. The phone used to start ringing about two o'clock 00 Satur· days, and whoever answered usually talked to the men, invited them over, and intcoducedthem to girls in the house. Most of the men were college men who had gone out with Pi Phis or who had Pi Phi sisters or mothers. In mosto cases, the boys came over to the house, met girls, and asked them to go out. Very few of the men turned out to be undesirable, and, in such a case, the housemother could tactfully

arrange it so that no girl was forced to go out with such a man,

Often, on Saturday nights and Sunday after· noons, men came over to the house without callin g first. They joined in bridge games and singi ng groups in the living room One Satur· day night, there were about ten girls at home. Fifteen cadets came in and asked if the girls would come down and talk to them. So we had a very impromptu party, and the boys were all grand. Mrs. Myer, our housemother, got cider and doughnuts from the kitchen, we rolled back the rug, and everyone danced and had an awfully good time.

Some of the girls in the house have met fine men in this way. and many of them have gone out often with the boys who have come over to the house. We are glad that the Dean of Women did sanction the idea, because so often the men are lonely and they enjoy just coming ove r to talk for awhile.

This year, however, there are more men on campus, and far fewer men off campus, There are now just two flying fields, and the Navy will be leaving in December. The ASTP is gone, of course, and the Army engineers and Navy pre·flight men are also gone. Men still call up and come over to the house, but we haven't had any regular parties or impromptu gatherings so far.

"Special attention should be focused on the great number of Pi Phis who, because of the war, are temporarily nomads. The friendly attentions which a club can offer are appreciated by those far from home. Every dub member has her share of worry and responsibility in the family and in the community, yet, as a respite, the association a nd activities of h er fraternity offer tremendous appea l.

"The Physio-therapy Fund is, of course, the most important matter on ou r calendar this year. We feel that our national orga niz ation could not have made a better choice of war project, or one that would get more whole-hearted support than this effort to assist in the healing and rehabilitation of our service men and their return to normal living ."

DOING DOUBLE DUTY

IN THE ARMED FORCES

From the Aleutians to North Africa, from Pearl Harbor to Panama, from Iceland to Australia, from Germany to the Philippines, Balfour jewelry has brought together fraternity men in all parts of the world.

Although the badge is not worn on a uniform, the fraternity man's crested ring or identification bracelet is quickly recognized and is the means of making many fine and lasting friendships.

WAR PRODUCTION

Our factory is proud of the part it has played during these war years in the furnishing of vital war materials for the protection and aid of the men in the armed forces. Such articles demand the precision, exactness and high standards of craftsmanship which have always been the standard of Balfour manufacture.

IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

The customary prompt and complete service guaranteed under your official contract has protected the many fraternity members and is proof of our sincere desire to keep faith with those we serve under contract.

We have taken pride in surmounting many of the difficulties and restrictions of war production and we take additional pride in the 139 men and women flf our company serving in the armed forces.

AWARDS

The new trend in awards is to present some useful gift to the winner -such as a fine billfold mounted with the sport insignia and gold stamped with the individual's name. Engrossed Citations or Scrolls are used as awards for special honor or unusual service. Custom-made in the style of an old manuscript beautifully illuminated in color.
