The Triennial Conference of the International Council of W OIIlen

Phil a d e lp hia , P e nn sy lva ni a, Se pte mber 5 t o 12, 1 947

IHAV E had few experienu:) more in tt: H::,t ing and more sti mulating than attendance at the Triennial (the first s ince 1938) Conference of the International Council of Women , at which I had the privilege of representing National Panhell eni c Conference. When , in June , I rece ived an invitation, sent to me as chairman of NPC, to attend the co nference and, if pos si ble , to have NPC represented by a second member of its Execu tive Committee, I knew little about the I nternational Council but it seemed imperative t hat Nationa l Pan hell enic Conference be rep r esented at any meeting of outstanding women of the world in order both that NPC fraternity women of America might be known internationally as an effective, impo rtant group, and that they themselves might know something of the action taken at such a conference and might do their part to further any projects, planned there, which met with their approval. Now that the conference is over , I am grateful indeed to the National Council of Women of the United States for this gracious invitation which made it possible for me to have an ex· perien ce which I sha ll never forget. I reg ret exceeding ly that neither Miss Green nor M rs. Crabtree could adjust their schedules so they too could be in Philadelphia for that week

I am very humb le about this privi lege wh ich has hee n mine and wish that it were possible for me tru ly to make it "live" for you. I t is never easy to ex plain just why any experience has carried with it deep inspiration so I am hoping that you will be kind to a most inadequate re· port of the Conferen ce and that, at the same time, you will ca tch something of its spi rit and will feel free to write to me for more informa · tion about the report or the Conference.

Th e hi g h ca libre of the twelve hundred women in attendance was a ch allenge to me.

TIle foreign Otlc:gJ.lc::" e:,ptLially, were 5<1 (evide ntly women of great distinction, performing high se rvi ce not only in their own specia l field s but broadly to their nations . Ther e were many physician s, lawyers, and educators. These women spoke with the quiet con fiden ce whi ch comes from a true knowledge of the matter upon which one is speak i ng and from a con· sc iousness of proven ability not just to talk but to follow up with action which gets results Too mu ch co uld not be said about the sa crifi ces whi ch attenda nce at t h e Confe rence had cost pract ica ll y a ll the fore ign delegates . T h e ir clothes were worn - though always immacuJate and worn without any apologies of word or manner- and their pallor told of their a lmost starvation diets at home They were in Phi ladelphia because they believed in the possibilities for good inherent in the Coun ci l- and because they had scrimped and saved for nine years to get the money for the trip! It brought a l ump to one's throat to see their joy in having "real bread" a nd ice cream and milk and fruit -a nd to know that many of them found that their yea rs of p r ivation meant that , when th ey could have food, they co uldn't eat mo re than a tiny bit. After the banquet, I learned with distress , because I am sure that something could have bee n done about this , that many of t he dele8ates, especial ly those from Ens la nd , denied themselves the 1hrill of the banquet because they could not bear to spend S6 .50 for a dinner for themselves when their families at home had so l ittl e_ Many "ba nqu e t tickets" were boxes of food se nt hom e. A Aori st, near th e Unive rs ity . told me that a foreign delegate came in hi s shop and bought one gardenia and then stood, minute after minut e, holding it in her hand s and sme lling it s fragrance Then she spoke to him of the almost ten years s in ce she had had a

garden ia. These women were starved for many more things than just food!

Because you may know little more than I did about the Internation al Conference of Women, I should, I believe, briefly review its history and exp la in its organization. The Con· ference was founded in 1888 by a group of outstanding American women in Washington D.C.-Susan B. Anthony. Mary Wright Sewell. Fran ces E. Will a rd the Rev Anna Shaw. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. and other famous women of their generation-who invited women from Europe, Canada, South America, and other count ries to a first great international congress of women to be held in Chicago in 1893 at the time of the World's Fair. Women from twenty-seven countries responded and the approximately one hundred t housand women who were present e lected Ishbel, Marchioness of Aberdeen and Temair. as the first president of the International Conference.

The founders of LC.W . "had the wisdom not to limit the Council's aims and activities to particular subjects but to leave it to the judgment of the women of each day and generation to determine the matters which they regard as most likely to advance the well-being of the world. The I .C.W. was organized in the interests of no one propaganda and the only basis which must be accepted by all who join is the furthering of the Golden Rule ." "The LCW. is a means of contact and collaboration between the women of the self-governing countries of the world . it studies all questions of interest to women. publishes the results of these studies. and acts upon the knowledge gained through the work of the women of many countries in collaborating with USO. UNESCO. ILO. and other intern ational bodies." "Membership in LCW says its bulletin, "is an education in international democracy'· and "I.CW. deeply influences public opinion in every country."

Each separate country sets up its own National Council of Women, endeavors to affiliate as many national groups as possible. and seeks representation on its various standing committees from all relevant societies. A Netherlands' Council member once said: "The National Council is a link between the different women's organizations in their common aim for social progress." The results which the Councils have achieved and the influence which they exert throughout the world is reason for the greatest pride. At present, the work of the International Council and of the various National Councils covers the fields of Peace. Law. and Legal Position of Women. SuJJrage. Equal Moral Standard and Traffic in Women. Public H ealth. Education. Migration. Trades and Profession •• Child

Welfare. Letters. Fine and Applied Arts. Cinema, Broadcasting, the Press, International Relations, Housing, and D omestic Economy. Th e Conference program was set up in a rather unusual way. Preceding the official opening. there were two days given over to group meetings, each under the direction of a chairman for the general topic assigned to the group. Four group meetings were held at the same time so you will understand why I have been thinking that perhap,-ihere are times when it wouldn't be at all bad to be four persons! I truly h ated to have to miss even one discussion. It had apparently been the hope of the officers that all discussion which had to do with the phraseology of recommendations would come in the group meetings in order that the time of the regular sessions could go entirely to reports from the national councils and to discussion of the purpose of recommendations rather than of their ' wording. Of course. this ideal was not fully realized and could not be since interested delegates had necessarily missed some of the group meetings. but in general the time of the regular sessions was used most constructive ly. The almost complete absence of persons who spoke just to be seen and heard or who fai l ed to speak to the point was noticeable indeed.

At the offi cial opening session of the Conference on Sunday eveni ng, greetings were given by-or from. as the case might bc:--Mrs. John Boyle. president of the Philadelphia Federation of Wom en's Clubs and Allied Organizations. Inc. , the official local hostesses; Mrs. Ambrose Diehl. president of the National Council of Women of the U.S.; President Truman; Kin g Haakon; Queen Elizabeth; the Hon. Bernard Samuel. Mayor of Philadelphia-You'll never believe it. but he actually did say that " The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world!·'and. Dr_ George McClelland. President of the University of Pennsylvania on whose campus the Conference ·was held. The address of the evening was given by Baroness Pol BoeI. International President. Her subject was the theme of the Conference--"The Power and Responsibility of Freedom." How I wish that each of you could have seen Baroness Boel as she presided over that Conference! Her keen intelligence, her wonderful sense of humor, her unfailing graciousness and thoughtfulness, and her devotion to the interests of humanity make her a person whom one could never forget and one whose influence for good cannot be other than immeasurable. I cannot here quote at all adequately from her address which sounded the keynote of the Conference but I shall be glad to send a copy to anyone interested enough to ask me for it. Because during World War I the

Baroness was held in a concentration camp and during World War II was held incommunicado -though, I believe. allowed to remain in her own home and country-it is not hard to know why she began her talk by saying: "Men and women who have always lived in freedom are perhaps unable to appreciate the treasures they possess, the power that is theirs. Do you realize what the word freedom means to those who have been deprived of freedom, once Or several times in the course of their lives, and who have had reason to fear that darkness had blotted out the light forever? Can you imagine how exhilarating it is to find oneself free again ?-free to worship, free to think, free to build , free to speak, to express one's faith in action, free to exist, to be oneself again?" Then she asked: " How have YOU fought to enjoy the rights that are yours today-a nd that it seems so natural for you to have," and added: "Because of this very freedom which you enjoy, grave responsibilities are yours. The respon sibility of being worthy of, of being prepared for, all the task that are open to you. Do not daim posts and positions because you are women, but be· cause you are equal to filling them.-Let us bring to the world our creative strength and our moderation.-The education of women who have not yet reached your standards is also re· sponsibility.-Even if, with the stroke of a pen, we cou ld insure to all women the world over the same status, how could women of some countries, whose evolution is far from complete, fulfill their new tasks ?-It is as hard to impersonate the ideal woman as to be an outstanding man. We need both . . . in the modern world.-The I.C .W. makes women conscious of the untold value to the world of men and women who enjoy the freedom of the individuaL - Let women, who create life and watch over future generations, rebel against all forms of violence; let them proclaim their faith in the peaceful settlement of disputes. - Women are resolved to seek balance and harmony in freedom .. . Free today to build a new world, free to use our power to the full, we are now conscious of our responsibilities. Let us unite our efforts, to· gether with men, and set ourselves to our task- In the name of all of you, I appeal to the Supreme Force that in every religion and philo sophy makes for harmony and peace."

Although on the 14th there were meetings of in coming committees and officers , the Confer· ence really closed with the beautiful banquet held at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel , the evening of the 13th. The Matinee Musical C1uh's Instrumental Ensemhle of Philadelphia played beautifully during dinner and Jessica Dragonette gave a delightful program of songs. The

Hon Charles Saltzman made his maiden speech as newly appointed Assistant Secretary of State, and gave a clear and forceful picture of the ecOnomic problems and policies of the United States; Mr. Edward Johnson , General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera House Association , spoke-so the programs said !--on "Our Inter· nation Language-Music·'; and Mrs . Hottel, Dean of Women of the University of Pennsylvania and President of A.A.U.W., gave an inspiring tribute to the women whose devotion to the causes of peace and freedom had brought them together in Philadelphia. The high-light of the banquet for me , at least, however, was the deeply moving, simple ceremony with which Baroness Boel welcomed her successor to the presidency and pinned on her the insignia of her office-a pin which the Baroness had carefully hidden from her country's foes and had kept safe through years of war and distress and which she passed on to Dr. Eder with a hope for a world of peace and brotherly kindness.

I could not end a report without expressing my conviction that the fraternity women of America should be giving. their support to the causes for which the International Council of Women is dedicated. I hope to have available, at the time when NPC meets, information which I do not now have about the responsi. bilities of actual affiliation with the National Council. If such affiliation is possible, financially and otherwise, I hope that National Panhellenic Conference may take its place with the loosely federated groups which are working for the causes of education, justice, and peace. If actual affiliation is not possible for any reason, I hope that at least some plan may be worked out which will make it possible for the half million NPC fraternity women to use their influen ce, individually and as groups, for the ends which mean that the things of the Golden Rule will be effective among the peoples of the entire world.

HIT OR MISS NOTES

War conditions have l ed to a great increase everywhere in tuberculosis, venereal diseases, infant mortality, and malaria . In Great Britain , food distribution has been so intelligent that the infant mortality rate decreased during the war. Rations for adults were kept drasti ca lly low in order that children could have what they needed, and Dr. Rewca stle said: "'It would do your heart good to see the children and babies in England." There is universal concern at the increase in drinking hy young girls and boys.

The N.C.W. of the U.S., as hostess Council, raised $10,000 with which to help defray the

traveling expenses of the delegates from the devastated countries. Many delegates paid all of their own expenses, of course ; the Fren ch Government paid the travel expenses of its representatives and other cou ntri es may h ave co ntribut ed at least part of th e expe nses for t h eirs.

Th e re were thirty rep r ese ntatives from Great Brit ai n, about fift ee n from Canada, and ten or twelv e from South Afri ca. Thirty nation s were represented includin g Au s tralia, In dia, many South Am er ican countries, and pra c ti ca lly all European nation s except Ru ss ia and the countries und e r h er co ntrol. No Counci l exists in Ru ssia because of Governmental opposition to such organizations of women. Th e En g li s h g overnment mad e it poss ible for there to be a rep resenta tive from Germany, a member of the pre-Nazi Coun cil th e re.

I as ked Mrs Shrinagesh, one of th e delegat es {rom India , what h er greatest inter es t at the co nference was and s he sa id that it was movies and rad io She said th at her n at ion could nev er educate its masses through the usual chann els of school s a nd teachers but that it co uld do it through the use of lilm s and the radio . Mrs . Shrinagesh's f at her was the fir s t man in Indi a to ed ucate hi s d a ug hters and only his wealth and so c ial position made it po ss ibl e for him to combat the opposition to this deviation from custom. Sh e wa s marri ed at thirteen and then went to England with he r hu s band , where s h e at· t end ed th e univer sity and ea rn ed h e r degree ! Sh e has se ve n living children ; on e daughter , who was with her for part of th e t im e, is a student in av iation at U.S.c.!

Th e six or more women from India represented at least two different cast es and th ey dr essed quite differently. Two of the del egates had jewels set in their for eh eads.

Prof. K at h e rin e Pete rse n , the representative f rom Germany , is in charge of schoo ls in th e p a rt o f Germany which is und er En g li sh co ntrol. She said that German youth who once thou g h t to le ran ce meant wea kn ess now a re lea rnin g its im portance. Th ey a re also being taught that " h at red is as devastating inte ll ectua lly as the ato m bomb is physically." She said to m e tha t what is g reat ly needed in G e rm any today is to " find a language with whi ch to ta lk reli gion to t he you ng people who have been taught t he Nazi viewpoint." Sh e said that she tells th ese you n g men and women: " If a young p e rson does not ch ange hi s viewpoint, one day he wi ll belong to a lost gene rati on." She atte nd ed the Nurenburg t r ials and wi t h the information whi ch she gained there of the way in which Nazi beliefs actually " worked " she is fee lin g

for the "idea li stic young Nazis," using t hei r ow n weapons against them. She spoke of the anti-Nazi boys who, during the war, used to g reet each other by sayi ng " Ahoi "-a nautical so und ing and seem in gly harml ess w o rd whi ch mea nt " Adolph H itl e r- withou t interest.'· Comments which int erested me: " H ea lth is a state of co mpl ete mental, physical, and so cia l well-being." " Work for women 's c iv il rights! Work , work, work- and don't be too patientl"' " Ill -will does not exist between nat ion s unl ess fostered by their leaders ." " The t im e ha s co me when anyon e co untry mu st k eep the whole world in mind wh en it mak es its plans." " I t is only as we work on minor thing s that we reac h the major ones ." " We cannot all be experts but we oug ht none of us to be ignorant of big issues." " Wom en should com e forw a rd in tim es of PEACE to secu re their objectives and to coo p e rate, not wait until tim es of war ." " We must sin k our d ifferen ces and pool our inRuences for the common good of everybody ." "Women must unite to protect the child 's whol e life-phy sica l, mor al, and soc ial. More intellige nce and more love are needed in th e g uid ance of childr en and more of the life of the rea l hom e." " A hun g ry man is an angry man ." " The spect e r of Hunger walks today in at least s ix nation s." " Planning a world of equa l opportunity is a better idea than the surv iv al of th e littes t." " Norway has adm itted 600 displa ced Jews and is keep ing them in camps to train th em in Norweg ian ways before a llo wing th em to tak e up th e ir own residen ces. Bel g ium with 4'2,709 r efugees within its borders can attempt no such program!"

One of the most interesting and construct ive delegates was Dr Genevieve Rewcastle of london. She was the fir st woman ever to rece i\'e a co mmi ss ion in the Briti sh Navy which sh e se rv ed as Surgeon General in t he recent war. H er talks on child welfa re and h ea lth were inva lu ab le and h er general knowled ge of world conditions and needs amazing.

Besides Jud ge Kenyon , A 0 n , a nd Dr. Le na Mades in Phill ips, X 0 , the NPC fraternity members in attenda n ce at the Conference were, so far as I was ab le to discover Mrs. Ru st, Z T A, preside n t of t he K ansas Council; Capt. Bl and, n B <1>, of the Florida delegation , l iaiso n ollicer for the State of Florid a; J osep hin e Schain , 11 B <1> , member of the New York City H ospitality Comm ittee for th e co nfe ren ce; a K K r from K entucky whose nam e I did not learn ; and a r <I> B from Philad e lphia whose name I have unfortunately forgotten. Mrs. Rust and I tried to have an NPC lunch·get·togeth er but were not successful.

"

Among the resolutions passed by the Conference:

That no person who has re sig ned from

one NPC fraternity is eligible to membership in another NPC fraternity.

That in any booklets published by local College Panhellenics, NPC approve only a general statement of cost of membership and that NPC disapprove the printing of statistics as to the size of chapter rolls.

That a study be made by the incoming Committee on College Panhellenics of the functioni ng of quota and limitation systems.

That a uniform program of Fraternity Education be instituted through the use of the NPC Manual of Information: (a) for the use by individual fraternities among their pledges and collegiate actives and alumna: groups; (b) for the use of visiting officers so that they wi II be informed and their comments will conform to NPC policies.

That NPC reaffirm its disapproval of deferred rushing and that it adhere to the policy which approves a short open rushing season after matriculation and an early pledge day.

That in case of member fraternities to National Pan hellenic which have ceased to exist, their members who have not affiliated with other NPC groups be recognized as eligible for membership in City Panhellenics.

That NPC denounce the arbitrary priority rating of fraternities by college administrators and/oe other agencies,

That there be a committee appointed as a Standing NPC Committee to collect informa· tion from NPC fraternities on expansion fields they recommend and conditions thereon, with the intention of fostering new chapters for all member groups who may desire them, this information to be used in Bulletins which shall go to all member groups. Further it is recommended that fraternities give all possib l e co· operation and assistance to other fraternities on campuses where they are already represented, showing special consideration to those fraternides which have expressed a desire to establish new chapters. All officers of NPC fraternities in their contacts with college administrators and student bodies, including the ir own chapters, should emphasize the inherent de· sirability and value of affiliation in any NPC fraternity.

Whereas NPC has voted to admit to membership eleven new gcoups. our moral obligation to observe not only the letter but the spirit of all NPC rules, regulations, policies, compacts, and agreements is even more imperative than ever, therefore, be it resolved at this session of NPC that each member fraternity pledge anew its solemn determination to support unequivocably all precepts and principles which motivate and sustain NPC as an organization based primarily upon ethical standards.

Opportuniti es for purely social contacts were, of course, far too few but delegates and visitors made the most of each hurried conference, meal· time mom ent, and out·of·session hour for the treasured chance to renew old friendships and to make n ew ones. The gracious offer of the parliamentarian, Mrs. Gano Senter, of Denver, to conduct seminars in parliamentary law was seized upon enthusiastically by a large number of officers who m et at eight o'clock on four different mornings.

The banquet was open to all fraternity women and it was a special p leasure to welcome many from Colorado Springs, Denver, and other cities. Speci al guests of NPC were the Deans of Women from Colorado College, Colorado State College, and the University of Denver, and the Panhellenic Adviser from the University of Colorado . NPC was privileged to have, as its inspiring speaker at the banquet, Mi ss Dorothy Gebauer, Dean of Women at the Uni-

Since Pi Beta Phi, by virtue of its chairmanship, was privileged to act as ho stess fraternity, banquet arrangements were in charge of representatives of its Denver Alumnre Club and active members from the University of Denver chapter gave a program of vocal and instrumental music and square dancing .

Housing CommilJee, MRS. BEVERLY ROBINSON , A E l::J.

MOUNTING construction costs since 1939 increasing in Au gust, 1947, 128.80/0 in frame residential housing in Atlanta; 85.5% in New York; 94.9% in St. Louis; and 970/0 in San Francisco combined with the increased need of camrus housing drew the seriOllS consideration 0 the National Presidents, Finance Officers, and Del egates at the November 1947 meeting of the National Panhell enic Conference.

All groups agreed that excessive building costs and financial uncertainty discourage the building of new hou ses and that the fUlure well being of the fraternities depends on a wi se solution of the present housing problems.

Plans were made to clear housing information in the future through an NPC Committee on Housing on l--campuses which are opening to NPC groups, 2---<ampuses which have no established housing program but which con· template one, 3---campuses which have a simple unostentatious programs which it is deemed advisable to retain. It is believed that an exchange of information among those groups concerned may result in their working together for the best interests of all in establishing a satisfactory housing program. It was recognized

267

that where housing patterns were already established each group must solve its own problem.

No fraternity was ever founded to engage in the real estate business and yet through force of circumstance the activ ities of some chapters in the past have re semb led just that. ··Keeping up with the Jones' " has taken its toll as rumor after rumor stimulated the competition.

"Believing that simplicity and conservatism are fully as important in the matter of housing as in other aspects of fraternity life,'· the National Officers at NPC agreed that intelligent concerted planning can solve many dilemmas of competitive fraternity building.

To that end all groups are releasing information as to their housing policies, this information to be correlated and furnished to all groups.

An immediate poll indicated that no NPC group gives its chapters outright gifts of houses or co mplete furnishings!

Practically all groups require that Housing Corporations be organized with adult management, and fi.nancial assistance is given through mortgage loans or notes bearing interest with the rates varying from three to six per cent.

Surveys in the past have indicated $5,000.00 as the average sized fraternity loan.

Treasures Must Be Shared

B) MARIAN KECK SIM MONS, \.J/J OllaJ J-ht/ Qflan

IN HOW many of our homes, stored in old trunks and long forgotten, are scores of onctime treasures which we no longer use, arc unwilling to display, and cannot bequeath to heirs who will understand or appreciate them? H ow often are they burned or destroyedthese mementos, of little value in themselves, which might form an important link in some collector's collection? Treasures must be shared to be enjoyed I

The national historian, as custodian for the fraternity'S "collection," welcomes the contribution of memorabilia of various kinds:

I.e. pins and guards;

Pi Beta Phi pins and guards (period of the '90s and later );

I. e. banners or pennants (no matter how laded or frayed);

Sp«ially designed crests and emblems used by ea rly chapters ;

Old campus publications and programs of literary societies;

Photographs of Founders, of charter members, of Grand Officers;

Biographical sketches and I ists of honors; Letters written by Founders and early-day officers. discussing fraternity policy and procedure, It is upon such tangible exhibits as these that sound history must be based, because twenty. forty, or sixty years after an event has transpired the memories of tho se who were participants are often vague and unreliable.

Members can perform a real se rvi ce to the Fraternity if, when they hear of the death of

an alumna who has no Pi Phi heirs, they will rescue such Pi Phi letters, photographs and f("'(ords as might otherwise be destroyed, and su<h P, Phi Jewelry as might otherwise be sold for old gold.

Every item received in the archives is care' fully identified, cata logued, and filed, with credit given to the sender.

This article is written because the national histOrian most earnestly desires to prepare an interesting convention exhibit for the instruction and inspiration of active chapter delegates whose interest in the history of the Fraternity is greater than we realize. Among other things a complete colJection of official pins, guards and other insignia is being assembled. Either gifts or loans are invited for this purpose. (Few members are aware of how much variation t here was in the size and shape of arrows worn in the years imm ediately following the conventio n of 1888. This was due in part to the practice at that time of appointing a new official jeweler at each succeeding convention. Even the I. C. pins varied slight ly in s iz e and shape.)

Through the courtesy of Sarah Pomeroy Rugg the Fraternity owns a number of early cooven· tion souveni rs in the form of crested hat r,ins, bar pins. etc. But the collect ion is far rom com'!lete.

Summer Workshop of Crafts and Community Recreation on the Little Pigeon in Gatlinburg

B y JESSIE HARRIs and MARtON HEARD

Three summers ago, in without fan · fare, but with the wis e planning and fore · thought that has characterized th e activities of Pi Phi on the Little Pigeon at Gatlinburg a new and significant educational project was started. This time it was a venture in high er education in the Arts and Crafts. This summer workshop of Crafts and Community R ecreation is being develop e d through cooperation with the Univer· sity of Tennessee. Students may secure graduate or und e rgraduate credit for this work, or they may enroll without credit, just for fun of learning a fascinating hobby. Let us acquaint you with this project which is already making a significant contribution to Am eri can culture . The possibilities for the further development of our "Settlement School " in the vacation period, into an outstanding center for the study of Crafts i s thrilling. The proving period is over; The Summer Craft Workshop of Pi Beta Phi is already an achievement. Mu ch credit is due to the pione ering spirit of th e Settlement School Committee under the leadership of Mildred Sale as chairman for launching the Summer Workshop so successful ly. A glimpse at plans for 1948 will show that the present Settlement School Committee, under the able l eadership of Ruth Barret t Smith, has accepted the challenge and is already looking for " new world s to co nque r."

Every Pi Phi shou ld know th e Summ er Craf t Workshop-its program, its staff, its students. We give you h ere t h e Workshop of 1947

THE PROGRAM

The announ cement of the workshop was in itself a work of art that created a stir in ed ucatio nal circl es. The design of th e cover of the announ cem ent gives th e w ork and pl ay spi rit of th e Works hop in pictorial style. The drawing was done by " Miss Meta" who was then in charge of the Weavers at Gatlinburg. This will become the trade mark of the Cra ft Workshop, and will be used again on the announcement for 1948.

The prog ram was designed to appeal to ree-

reation , as a hobby, interest, or for stu dy. Stu· dents had the opportunity to work with master craftsmen, to visit mountain craftsmen in their homes, to picnic in the awe inspiring beauty of the Smokies , and to associ ate WJth interesting people from allover the country.

The fields of creative work offered includ ed weaving, jewelry, stencilling, block printing, recreational crafts , leather work, and community recreation .

THE STAFF

Ruth Dyer, director of Pi Beta Phi Settlement School, was in charge of all administration. She, with the able assistance of Helen Borgstrom performed the miracle of converting the grade school into a dormitory. The University of Tennessee secured the furniture and furni sh · ings for this "dormitory" through surplus war materials available to educational institutions . Miss Marian G. Heard was the educational

M issouri; and K atharine Klingbeil , an alumni member from Ra cine , Wisconsin , and an Iowa Z.

The student exhibitions at the end of each three week session proved that the students had been active in creating with materials. All kept in mind that all work and no play was a bad plan , and many found time to engage in the recreational activities of the a rea.

La st but not least there were many distingu ished P i Beta Phi visito rs- Mi ss Onken.

Founders' Room at Holt House

A FTER you have climbed the winding sta irs and walked towards the southwest bedroom, a feeling of grea t emotion co mes ovec you as you approach the door to the Founders' Room As you ente r, you glance around and first notice the simplicity and beauty of the room, whose setting so closely resembles that which you would have see n when Ada Bruen and Libbie Brook occupied the room while attending Monmouth College.

Sunlight pours in the room from four windows, which are framed with airy white embroidered ruf!led curtains, giving plenty of sunshine and radiating the spirit of happiness these two Founders knew while living here The quaint wallpape r has a white background sprinkled with tiny blue cornBowers, and on it are hung two Gndey Prints with deep walnut {rames. The furniture is light colored walnut and sma ll, most litting for the young girls' room.

In the glimpse of the Founders' Room which the picture befow gives you, you see a small early Victorian straight chair; a washstand with a linen splasher embroidered with turkey red flowers and brown birds; an antique woodburning stove standing in the corner; a rocker with the back and seat of rose colored needlepoint; a Victorian dresser with a wishbone mirror and with drawer pulls of carved wood; and two braided rag rugs which reBect the colors in the room. The picture on the next page shows a rose carved rocker with a cane seat; a spool bed with acorn shaped knobs on top of each post, and on it a hand -made quilt coverlet; a cherry sewing table with a small brass student lamp, a sewing basket, an old sewing machine, and a rosewood writing box; and on the Boor, braided rugs. Also in the room is an antique pine trunk with rounded lid which isn't shown in the pictures.

You remember that in this room ten girls met

on April 28, 1867, and founded our Fraternity. On that day, the first chapter meeting was held with Emma Brownlee acting as chairman and Nancy Black as secretary The group voted to organize and then a decision was made that they would "always conceal and never reveal" how they had become members, and would keep the meaning of their organization a secret. Committees were appointed at this lirst chapter meeting to draft a Constitution and to nominate officers. 11. grip was decided upon, to be accompanied by three Greek words beginning with the letter Pi, Beta, and Phi. The Greek words were undoubtedly selected by Nancy Black, since she was a Greek scholar. The subject of the official badge was discussed, but the

arrow was not decided upon as the most desirab le symbol until early in May.

This Founders' Room was not only the sce ne of the founding of the Fraternity and its first chapter meeting, but also that of the planning for national expansion into other colleges. You linger a long time in this room so fil1ed with treasured memories, and then regretfully leave to visit the rest of Holt House. But you will never forget the great significan ce of this Founders' Room or the feeling of warmth and friendliness which surrounded you as you "visited" with it!

FROM PI PHI PENS

Edited by MAR Y ELIZABETH BARNETTE, Ohio A

SHIRLEY SEIFERT , Capta in Grant, J. P . Lipp in cott Compa ny, 606 pp.

As f ar as mo st of the United States i s conce rn ed, the life of Ulysses Grant began with th e Civil W a r, but the m an he s how ed him se lf to be then was the produ ct of many prior years, years that were li ved fully thou g h they contained far mor e of the bitter than of the s weet. 1t is with these yea rs and the expe ri e nces that co lored them that Shirley Seifert deals in he r romant ic nove l of the youthful Grant.

H e r rea d a bl e prose carries the reade r effortless ly a long the cu rr ent of Gr ant' s life from the tim e, against hi s wi sh es, hi s f at h e r entered him at W est Poi nt until 1861 when, with the rank of Colonel , h e took co mmand of a regi m ent of Illi nois volunteeers. In addition to breathing life into a hi s tory textbook chara c ter , Mi ss Seif e rt has g iv e n Am e ri ca n hi s tory between 1838 and 1861 the fr es hness and r ea lity of today 's n e wspape r. Her 's is a book that in stru cts and enterta in s, thu s giving th e rea der so met hin g to rem e mbe r in addition to a few pleasa nt hour s of rea ding.

Tender , tou ching, and not without its amu sing mom ents, Grant's roman ce and ultim ate marriage with Julia Dent , a spirited Southern g irl who se home is not far from Mis s Seifert's today , gives th e s tory warmth as well as co ntribut in g to the character of th e man . Family , fri end s, and a f ew e n em ies people th e book with a variet y of c haracte rs and supp ly th e moti vatio n for mu c h of Grant's be h avior. Th ey a lso g iv e scope to the author 's portrait of the p e riod and e xhibi t h e r abi li ty for capturi ng per · sonalit irs with pen and ink.

"Captain Grant " is an ideal choice for family read in g o n winter even ings, for it h as univ e rsa l appea l as we ll as educat ion al value.

"How co m e I was born there? My maternal gra ndfath e r had a hay and stock farm out that way and my fath er, a young engin ee r of foreign birth and foreign e du ca tion, had a job in th e maintenance of way de partm e nt of the Burlin g· ton Rai lro ad. Now that I've mentioned that , I'll h ave to g o on and say that my mother's people go ba ck to the first days of M assac hu setts and M aryl and . W e like to mix thin gs up in our hou se.

"Soon af te r the g reat even t my father took a job on Di ese l e ngines, or th ei r for e bears, in St. Lou is, and from th e re , still monkeyin g with mac h in e ry , we moved to W as hin gto n , Mo ., a town of about 5,000 population on the Mi ss ouri Riv e r about fifty mil es west of St Loui s . I received the foundations of my educa tion there, won a volume of Longfe llow 's poems by spea kin g a pie ce in , h eave n save us, an oratorical conte st, and, aside from schoo l, learn e d to skate and to row a boat on the big rive r, to dan ce squ a re dan ces in old -s tyl e farmhou ses-with ca ke s thr ee d ee p in the kit chen -a nd so on . It wa s a ri ch life , as I remember.

"Early in my high schoo l ca ree r we moved back to St. Loui s and ha ve liv e d th e re or n ea r th e re ever s in ce. I graduated from hi g h school at the top of a la rge c1ass- I mu st ge t in th e brags-a nd received a scho lars hip to Washin gton University. If I h a dn ' t got t he scholarsh ip, I co uldn' t have go n e to co ll ege, because I was the o ld est of fiv e g irl s and no t the only br ig h t o ne . But I did get the scholarship a nd we nt on.

altogether and had to find something else to do.

" With Adele. my sister, a l so a Pi Phi , and gifted at the drawing board, I attended a sum· mer sessio n at the University of Wisconsin. She studied drawing and I studied journalism - newspaper stu ff . Th e professors turned me out with a high percentage mark , but begged me not to try for a job , but see what I cou ld do with fi ction So, I did.

" I made my fir st sa le to the Am e ri can Magazine in 1919-t he dates begin to seem recognizable, at least. My second to the Delin eator. Remember? My third to the Saturday Evening Post. I had a right ni ce time with the magazines for a while, mis s in g, I believe, only the Atlantic and Harper s. among the big on es. Then I grew up or they d e te riorated or something slipped and I lo st the way of the short st uff The result cou ld have been bankruptcy, but it turned out to be a book.

" In order, the se hav e been LAND OF TOMORROW, a story of old and new Kentu cky ; THE W A YF ARER , a biographi cal novel ba sed on the adventurous life of a grandfather; RIVER OUT OF EDEN , a fanciful presentation of t he founding of St. Louis; WATERS OF THE WILDERNESS, the romance in the life of George Roger s Clark, played out in the St. Louis-Vin cennes distri c t ; THOSE WHO GO AGAINST THE CURRENT, the ,tory of Manu e l Li sa, a Spanish-American fur trader who worked the Missouri River territory up from St Louis , and CAPTA IN GRANT, the story of the young years of Ulysses S.

"The amazing thing to me about the last book is that the army likes it. My choi ce fan mail is from officers . The latest l etter was from a co lonel in Maryland , who sc rew ed a highpowered len s into his eye when he began reading and came out with a great sense of satisfaction and only two bits of things he could ca ll errors, a nd they not worth mentioning. I didn't know I had it in me .

"Perhaps you'd rather know where and how we live . W e are out in the country now , about fifteen miles sout hw est of St, Louis , and three from the Village of Kirkwood. Our hom e is on a c harming, rocky hillside near the Merame c Riv er. We have four acres , most of which we leave in its natural wooded state- for beauty and other more practical reasons, We cleared the land , like pioneers, and built the house, then with grubbing hoe , picks , rakes , etc., cleared in widening circles out from it as a center. Adele lays out the lines for Our so-called garden; I think I"m the spe< ialist in planting. I t's terribly interesting. Come and see us so metime. Our

father taught us stone-masonry and th e principles of cement-mixing while he was still with us and helped in our ea rl y co n structio n projects. H e left us in '41, but so well root ed and founded by then that we lau g h at people who think it' s odd for three women to liv e out this way and lik e it. W e wouldn't think of livin g otherwise. Our mother is sti ll boss of the kitchen and the best coo k that eve r came out of N ew England.

NOTES . Ellen F. Boy e r, a char · ter me mber of Ohio r at th e University of Wooster and now a m embe r of the teac hing staff at South Hi g h School in Columbus, Ohio, h as had and taken th e opportunity to share h e r teaching methods w it h others in the past year . One of he r articles appeared in Th e JOllrl1al 0/ Ihe AEg (Association for Edu cat ion by Rad io) and the other in The El1g/iJb JOllrnal. S ince s he has made exceedingly successful use of recordings in teac hing youngsters to understand and enjoy Shakespearean plays, other dramas , and poetry , she is justified in describing herself as a "d isc jockey." In fa ct, she has completed another article, "Disc Jockeys of Shakespeare"' soon to be publi sh ed. In her English Journal article, "A Musical Approach to The Lady of th e Lake ,"' she te lls how her pupi ls made several of their own recording s as well as using commercial ones. and in "Minus a Rudder," the AER a rticle , sh e discusses the use of radio programs and attendance at the theater as well as recordings to dramatize Shakespeare to a special remedial cla ss. + + +

The most desi rable way to share the poetry written by Pi Phis would be to reprint it . Unfortunately space rest ri ctions prohibit this , but they do not prevent mention of the writers .

A penetrating sp ir itua l experience motivates "The Evening and the Morning," a poem by Ali ce Troxell (Mrs. L. B.) M cCou n, Nebra ska B, which was published in the November, 194 7 iss ue of the ChrislidlJ Science J o",,lla/.

Anna T , Harding, Mi ch igan B. whose poetry is publi s hed regu larly by a variety of newspapers and magazines, rece ntly won first prize in th e drama con tes t of the National League of Ameri ca n Penwom e n , District of Columbia Br anch, for her play '"Dark Are the Windows ' and second prize in the lyri c poetry contest for "The End. " Another of her poems , " Britain ,"

appeared in the September 25, 1947, New York Times, and others have been published by Blue Moon, The Vill ager, and Diffe<enl

A versatile poetess, indeed, is Marjorie Staf· ford Keir (Mrs. Kenneth John) McLean, Michigan A, who writes: "Six poems published this year. Now writing a book and model· ing clothes and being a mothe r."'

Of as well as by a Pi Phi is the poem, titled simply "Carrie Chapman Catto" which Frances Ann Hungerford, Iowa Z, wrote following Mrs. Catt's death last spri ng . Miss Hungerfo rd is one of the fortunate persons who had opportunities to meet and talk with the notable suffragist.

Helene (Mrs. Paul S.) Carpenter, Okla· home A, not only reviews the work of others on the book page of the Daily Oklahoman, but also she faces the critics on occasion. Her story, "Big Girl," appeared in last Sept embe r's issue of Holland'! Ma gazine.. Not long ago she also had a story, "Love Goes Lightly" in ChaJelaine, a Canadian magazine. \Vriting does not occupy a11 her time, however , for she is active in the Norman (Okla.) Pi Phi Alumna:! Club as weU as in several groups in the writing field and maintains a home for her husband, director of the School of Music at the University of Oklahoma.

Lovers of art and antiques will find a kindred spirit in Helen Comstock (Mrs. H. C. Siber), Missouri B, who is American correspondent for Britain's The Connoisseur, on the edito rial staff of the Magazine Antiqu es in New York, and writes The Porlf olio for The Old Print Shop. She explains that for the most part her work is concerned with museum acquisitions and private collections of paintings.

silver, and other decorative arts . Wife. mother, teacher, speaker, writer are only so me of the jobs which occupy what must be the 48-hour day of Janet Worthington (Mrs. Ernest H.) Engelhardt who has had her poetry and articles published recently in The PennJylvania Farmer, Country Gentleman, and Beller Home! and Garden!. As well, the New York Herald Tribune reprinted part of one of her articles and Jimmie Hatlo of "They'll Do It Every Time" used an idea of hers in one of his syndicated cartoons. Under her guidance the pupils in the Muncy, Pa ., school of which her husband is supervising principal and she head of the English Department and senior adviser, are also active in the writing field. Twelve of them had poetry published in the National Anthology for High Schools for 1947, and others are participating in the National Scholastic Awards Contest.

Dr. Welthy Honsinger Fi sher, New York A, whose book about her hu sba nd , before his death resident bi shop of the Calcutta Area of the Methodi st Church, was review ed in this column, has been On what is both her sixth trip to China and sixth journey around the world. A noted lecturer, author, globe·trotter, and educator she has been at work on a novel concerning h er life in China.

Janie M. (Mrs. Robert) Gibbons, Virginia A, writes th at Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., has scheduled her hu sband's second novel, "The Patchwork Time" for early 1948 publication. H is first one "Bright Is The Morning" won a Knopf fellowship, and since he has had short stories published in such familiar magazines as Collier'!, Salurday Evening Po!I, and AI/anlic Monlhly.

FROM Ethef Chamberlain Porter, Illinois B, comes this note:

IS THIS A RECORD?

At an Illinois B house party in the summer of 1904, twelve girls who were leaving college planned a Round Robin letter which was to circulate among them, carrying photographs and clippings as well as personal news. For 40 years the Robin has made its steady way from coast to coast . The photographs tell the story of the years, for while the first ones were chiefly weddings , they now show the weddings of a second generation, sons and daughters in uniform, and many young grandchildren.

We think that this may constitute a record. If there are older letters among the chapters, we should be glad to hear of them through the ARROW

November l' Stetson was the scene of many homecoming activities and after the football game against Presbyterian College , all fraternities on the campus entertained With open houses.

The December meeting was held at the home of Mary Ann Walts, with Janet White as co·hostess for a pot luck supper. The two hostesses served coffee and hot biscuits as an added attraction to the bountiful supper. Fifteen mem-

bers were present. Plans were made for the Pi Phi hostcss night at the next City Panhellenic meeting to be held in Chaudoin parlors.

The Panhellenic building project for Stetson's fraternity women is still under discussion. Plans change from day to day. Whether or not anything can be worked out we do not know, but we have not given up'. The main difficulty is, of course, the high cost of bUilding at the moment without too much hope for any change. The active chapter conti nu es to use an extremely small room in the down t own section over Fountain's Clothing Store. The othe r three women's fraternities are similarly located.

At this time a new president of John B. Stetson University has been appointed by the Board of Trustees; Judge J Ollie Edmunds of JaCksonville, Fla. Dr. Edmunds assumes office the fiut of anuary, 1948 and succeeds Or. W. S. AUen, who retired recently' because of ill health.

GENERAL INSTRU CTIONS

Chapter trea surers should see that the Financial Statements to Parents and Pledges are sent approxi. mately two weeks before the proposed initiation. They should be sent only to the parents of the girls who have met the initiation req u i r ements and whom the chapter definitely plans to initiate. This means too that the blanks should be sent only for the girls who have received the required vote of the Executive Council and the Alumnr Advisory Committee for approval of initiation.

Chapter treasurers should see that badges are ordered through the Central Office. It takes six weeks or more, under present conditions, to complete badge orders. Badges for prospective members should not be ordered until all initiation requirements have been met.

Chapter treasurers should send the initiation fee for each initiate with Form GTI to Central Office within three days of initiation. Canadian chapters send initiation fees to the Director of Rushing and Pledge Training.

Chapter Treasurers should send monthly reports to Busey Fraternity Accounting System.

The corresponding secretary should report to the Central Office changes in chapter officers if they are made, any time dwing the year.

Wh en college schedules make it impossible to comply exactly with f r aternity calendar dates, chapter officers should contad Central Office. explain the situations, and receive special permission to vary from the estab li shed dates.
