R EPORT OF COMMITTEE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE ALUMNIE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The fonowing r ecommendations are not to take the place o f but llre to be used in conjunction with and supplementary to Mrs. McC lymonds ' compilation of Alumnae Advisory Committee's duties printed on page 28 of 1917 secret Anow .

MINUTES OF THE 241" CONVENTION

The three mOlt important points an Alumnae Advisory Committee should con.ider. if its work i. to be effective and successful, are: the divi.ion of the daries. tbe ,.ea.1 tUlMmplw,tl of these duties by the individual membeu of the committee, and the "getting together" or cooperation with the active chapter.

1. DivuW1I 01 DM/Je/. Each one of the five membtrs i, to take one of the {ollom, dutits .s her 5peciaJ .hue of the committee's work.

(. Scholanhip.

2. House Management and Finance.

3. Rashing and General Social Conditions.

4. Panhellenic.

s. Conduct.

This Ia.t i, tbe only addition to tbe duties given in Statutes V Sec. 7.

2. Sc/r.o/tJ,.slr.ip. The member having cha rge of the scholarship shall receive all scholarship reports from the chapter scholauhip committee and cooperate with it and, if necessary, with the national scholarship committee and the university authorities.

2. Roue N1malemnr.t. This includes general supervision of the budget and the bills and the adjusting of all houle difficulties If neeessary, the whole committee to act as a board of arbitration.

3. Rtu4in, IJIId General Social Conditions. In the rashin, sealon direct contact with the alumnBC is most important. Not only is 6nancial help needed, but social and executive help a.s well. In connection with the conduct standards that have become sacb an important issue, this help of the committee for rushing should include th e plan that some chapters have of obtaining the alumnre advisory committee's approval of their rushees. In this case the committee would assume the responsibility of seeing that the rushees conform to the high standards of the university and of n B

4. PanlcellenU:. This member to be alumnre representative on the local Panhellenic and to keep in intimate touch with all Panhellenic matters.

S. C",.dtut. The most tactful member of the commi tte e sh ould have charge of this phase of the work, which dovetails with several others, i. e., chaperonage. st:mdards in the house and on the campus for active members and rushees (see 3 above) . Upon this member will devolve the duty of keeping every active member up fo the n B 41 s tan dards as expressed by this convention of 19 18.

[I. It is vital that there should be a real assumption of these duties by the people e leeted. who should be chosen wisely, and who should, if possible, serve from year to year.

Both Province Presidents and Province Vice-president. should try to enthuse the alumnae: advisory committees in their respective provinces, cooperating with eac h other and with the committee, making helpful s ugge stions whenever possible and striving ),o make the alumnae advisory committee the helpful and powerful factor it should be.

rn case of trouble, that is of a deadlock or of the exercise of penonal antagonism, the Grand President and the Province President would be a court of appea.t and tither of these could remove a member of the committee, if it were found impossible to convert her.

Ill. The uGetting Together" means a real cooperation with the acti"e chapter and a better acquaintance with its members. Closer contact during the rushing season has already been planned, but the whole committee sho uld meet with the chapter at one of its 6rst meetings in the f311. so that the actin girh may know "who's who." Some member of the com mittee shou l d tell just how the committee as a whole desires to cooperate with the ' chapter, and along which lines each member will direct her special eHorts. for this cooperation. Throughout the r elt of the college year one member of the committet. appointed by the c hairman, shall be present at one chapte r meeting a month and it shall be de6nitely decided and understood whether it is tht first. second, third, or fourth meeting of each month.

REPORT OF THE WAR WORK COMMITTEE AT THE NATIONAL CONVENTION OF PI BETA PHI, CHARLEVOIX, MICHIGAN.

JUNE 28-JULY 5

The appointed during convention selsion to consider vartau. suggestions for a. valuable war work to be underlaken by the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity at large, has considered all suggestions offered, investigated tbem as carefully as possible in the space of three days and makes the following report:

After (eeling- the desire (or definite service, expressed in su ch • persistent undercurrent in the report s of chapters and of alumn(r: cl ub work and after listening to tbe inspiring talks by Dean BeeK!, Miss Richards, and MilS Jones, this question of adopting some war work as a fraternity seemed '1lmOlt the rea lo n-for -being of the convention. The work desired of this committee, apparently, i. t o rtteive suggestions, and select those most worthy for the consideration of the convention .

The committee has taken as a basis for considering the fraternity war work, the assumption of the Grand Treasurer that about $2,000 might ann ually be available for l uch • work. This estimate p resumes the amount available from the Grand Treasury, the amount which could be diverted from the Fellowship Fund after thi s year, and the remainder to be raised by chapters and clubs. The committee also understands that it is the unsnimous sentiment of the fraternity that th e Settlement School ",.at and will be taken ca re ·of lirst.

The suggestions re<:eived by the committee, and rejected {or various will not be presented, in order that too much time may not be used for dis· c u ssion Two suggestions from the many considered appeal t o the committee as being distinctive, valuable, and well worthy of development. They arc as follow. :

1. The establishment of ten scholarships in nursing (or possibly other forms of war worle, such as psychotherapy, stenography, etc.). The details, whether scholarships only in nursing should be given, whether only Pi Phis shou l d be recipi ents, where grsnted, the exact amount of money nttes'sary for

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

eac h sc holarship. would have to be determined by • morc permanent committee. The establishment of such • work is simply diverting and eniargiD&" our already established Fellowship work t o mect the needs of the times.

,. The second l ugge s ti o n is that of c reating more cooperative house. in conre_ted cen ters, simi lar to the one by th e Pi Phis in Washin(toll. W ashington, Pittsburgh, W i lmington, and the smaller cities which have been ove rwhelmed by new enc ampment., are possi ble field s wbere s u ch bnu ses would be of (reat value. In a cen ter such as Pittsburgh, the work wo uld bec ome almost settlemen t work, 3S the girls in neetl. of homes are the munition workers, r ath er than the clerks '3lld eovernment employees at Wash in gton. The alumnz at Washington advanced from $600 to $800 to rent, furnis h, and get the i r house un de r way. The house pays back s u ch an sdvan ce , completely or in part (according to rents, and amount yoo determine to payoff), and becomes a. cooperative house : a pleasant, safe home for war workers at fair rates, and no profit to the management. The poinlS in favor of thi s suggestion .re that the only limit to the development of s uch a work is in the ambition and energy of the committ ee (for one house can start anothe r) , and that it requires supervision and planning on the part o f the fraternity, which in the casf' of the scholarships ends with the selection of candidates .

The argument car ry ing most weight with the committee in favor of hoth of these suggestions is the fact that either work is a contin u ation of the particular kind of work in which Pi Phi has already distinguished herse lf-the granting of educational assistance , in t he Loan Fund and Fellowship, and the establishment of the mountain Settlement School and the new cooperat i ve h o use in Washington. It seems work particularly s uit ed to the ideals of Pi Phi , and a very urgent, important work at ho,ne, which should not be neglected for the somewhat more rom an ti c and dangerous work abroad.

These two proposa ls are presented to convention. The committee feels a slight preference for the establishment of the cooperative as it demand Ii more r eal work fro m the fraternity, and w it h the idea that a series of s u ch h omes could be established. The committee hopes for the earnest discussion and consideration of convention in making a definite cboice, and s uggest s that the scheme determined up on be referred to a permanent committee fo r detailed invtltigation aod action.

Tbe Pro-tern Committee on Fraternity Examinations submitted the following report through its chairman, Columbia A :

The Comm i ttee on Fraternity EXAminations reports th at opinion on the date of examinatio n is divided, with a s light majority favoriDg the giving of the examination either lat e in N o\'e mber or early in Dei:ember. The main objection to this early date for eumina tion s is that, with seco nd semester initiation, freshmen would be r eq uired t o lake the examination for pledges only and would not be examined o n th e Co n s titution, etc. The committee feels that the advantages 10 the upperclassmen offered by an en rly examination do not outweigh th is disadvantag e. therefore it ,uggest& that no action be taken at the present but that the standing Committee on Examinations i n co r po rate the following question in th e Dext examiD3tion: 4'What would you con aide r the best time of year to take the fraternity examination. taking into consideratio n the second semester initiation 1"

The committee s ugg ests that pledge meetings be held at leas t eve ry two week s with four of the lai d meetings devoted to the study of the chapter roll and o f Pi Phi songs, nd four to the study of the History of Pi Beta Phi and t o th e acquiring of information about other fraternities. The commiUee also suggests the re adi ng of THE ARROW by pledges.

In the absence of the chairman of the Committee on War Work no further report from this committee was given, but at the suggestion of Mrs. Murphy, Ruth DeHass Balfour, Indiana T, told of her experiences playing at cantonments and among government employees and suggested that Pi Bcta Phi cooperate musically with army camps, whenever this is possiblc. Beta Province President moved that a committee be appointed to investigate fonns and costs of war work and to report to the Grand Council. Carried Epsilon Province Vice-president moved that this committee be instructed to report t o the Grand Council in time to have the work definitely outlined before the beginning of the college yea r. Carried. Washington B moved that co nvention go on r ecord as favoring some form of war work to be ca rried on by Pi Beta Phi as a national organization. Carried.

The Grand Treasur e r gave an explanation of the war tax on dues , and the delegates discussed the question as it had affected their respecti ve chapters.

Discussion as to the method of establishing a chapte r of Pi Beta Phi was led by Zeta Province President. Epsilon Province Vicepresident moved that the president of the province in which the petitioning group is located make the first official visit to the group in question. Carried. Zeta Province President moved that the fraternity pay the expenses of ' the inspection trip of the Province President and that the chapters concerned pay one-half the expenses of the inspectors from the nearest two chapters. Carried. Alpha Province President moved a reconsideration of this question . Carried. The previous question was lost. Indiana r moved that the expenses of the Province President as inspector of a petitioning group be paid from the national treasury. Carried. Indiana r moved that one-

half the expe n ses of chapter inspectors be paid from the national treasury. Carried .

REPORT OF GRAND SECRETARY

To Pi Beta Phi Fraternity the Grand Secretary submit, the following report : That. under the adverse cond itions of the past two yean, the Grand Secretary should be able to report propelS along every line of Iraternity work tet.mJ cause indeed for tid.etion. The growth of the fraternity bas been CODtinuolU and logi cal. With an increase. during the interim of conventioDs, from 48 aetive chapters to S5 attive chapters, the annual active membership bas grown from 1.3tJ in 1915-16, and 1.359 in 1916-17. to '.457 in 19J7-18. The number of initiations h.. sbown a corresponding increase. Duriog the year 1915 - 16, the Grand Secretary illued 619 membership certificate.; duriog 1916-17, 637; and during 1917 - 18, 774: representing a total of ::1,030 initiate. during tbe interim of con ventions, an increase of 470 over the immediately preceding three years.

During the spring of 1917. the Grand Secretary began the work of revisiting the Constitution, but upon the postponement of convention, the Grand Council thought it best th-at this revision also be postponed, so the work was abandoned. All necellary supplies for chapters have been sent to the corresponding secretaries at the beginning of each semester and in April: mimeographed letters and additional supplies have been sent out when necessary. Some few minor c hanges in the forms of blanks for reports have been made. A card catalogue record of supplie s, reports, and initiates has been kept. The chapter corresponding secretaries have manifested a splendid spirit of cOOperation and have respond ed in a most gratifying way to every request or tion. A more careful study of the Constitution is most urgently suggested to every chapter officer. however. For 1917 - 18, the Grand Secretary reports 31 chapters on the Honor Roll with all reports for the year submitted in accurate form and on time.

The reports of the chapter delegates to convention have been corrected and arranged and will be published in the Convention Number of THE Anow These reports are both interesting and instructive and they should be carefully read by every Pi Beta Phi. The fraternity is very proud of the participa. tion of its active chapters in war relief work. l7 chapters report a 100% membership in the Red Cross, 6 cbapters have adopted French war orphans, and almost every chapter has bought Library Bonds and War Savings Stamps. Contributions to the Y M. C. A and to the Red CrolS were practically universal. while other funds were well suppoTted. The 30 chapters ",hich gave definite figures show a contribution of more than $5,600 to the Y. M. C. A . Fund alone. Iowa r i. the banner chapter with a gift of $600 to the Y. M.

REPORT OF THE ARROW EDITOR

To Pi Beta Pbi Fraternity-the ARROW Editor submits the following report: In her last report submitted to the Twenty-third Biennial Convention your Editor devoted much space to her activities as business manager of our journal. Tbe yean 1912-15 had covered a period of much strain and anxiety because of the financial condition of Tlu Auow, the resulting necellity of increasing the cost of life subscriptions, and the consequent changes involved . That report states that "the cbaracter of the magazine for the next two years must depend very largely upon financial conditions." It is therefore of special interest to note at this time the statements of the Anow Fund in the Grand Treasurer's reports sbowing a steady decrease in the annual deficit due to her careful investment of our income and to constant vigilance in regard to expenditures.

The world conflict in its infancy at the time of our last convention hilt affec t ed THE AR.R.OW in various ways. The uncertainty of the paper market has increased the cost of mat erials, the scarcity and high cost of Jabor has affected the cost of produc tion, and the difficulties of transportation, especiaUy during the last year, have interfered with the r eg ularity of delivery. W'hen the great popular maguines of the co untry are repeatedly notifying their readers that belat ed iss u es are due to congested mails and unsettled R. R. conditions, no apology is needed for the tardy appearance of any issue of THE AllOW. But the Editor wishes to state that in no case has it been due to delinquency on the part of either editor. Both have read copy and proof promptly, oftentimes under most trying conditions of time and place in order that they might do their utmost to insure prompt appearance of the issues.

Unsettled conditions have aho affected the editorial policy It has been impossible to publish 0. prospectus of future issues at the opening of each college year, as formerly since the special difficulties of production at the moment must determine the size and contents of each number. The plan inaugurated in 1913 of making the first issue of each volume a private information number has been continued o.nd three secret issues have appeared, one devoted largely to Convention Minutes and two others giving the reports of annual Grand Council Meetings, officers and committees. The Usec ret ARROW" has now become a mntler of necessity and has proved itself of a real service in the development of our organization. The nine regular numbers have been filled with articles of general interest but no attempt has been made to continue the series of special vocational iunes begun several years ago because special demands of the times have called for emphasis on other subjects. For instance, the June issue for 1917 was a Fiftieth Anniversary number end the March issue for 1918 an International Service number.

No new departments have been introduced. and none have been permanently abolished, although the peculiar conditions governing editorial policy have again been responsible for the temporary lubstitulion of new features for old one •.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA. PHI

Consequently durin&, 1916 11 "Let'. Get Acquainted" was submitted fof' iCWh.t • Fraternity Girl Thinks." re sultin g in a mOre intimate knowleda-c of chapter life and bistory of the enti re organiulion than any fraternity publica· tion had previously furnished. Again, in the current iss u e. announcements in rerard to war strvice have taxen the place of th e usua l Colle&,c Notes lind E:lchanges.

As it has been the Editor's aim in the palt to i ssue numbers which would be of prac t ical v al u e to those seeking opportunities for service along different lines, it is her present desire to make TUE AI.lOw a vital feature in the life of every Pi Phi by furnishing h er with the mos t practical, up -la-date, and accurate information in regard to opportunities fo r usefulness in the world eme rKen cy.

Th e close cooperation of the alumntr editor, wh olie years of expe rien ce in frate r nity w ork have been so valuable, has been a constan t source of help and inspiration to the Editor.

The miscellaneous duties which h ave fallen to the Editor lIS a member of the G. C. h ave as u sual been varied. Foremost among them has been chapter visiting and inspec t ion of petitioning groups. In the intHim of convention, the Editor has visited four petitioning groups and assisted at the installat.ion of one new chapter (Virgin i a 8). She has visited .8 chapters and 15 alumna:: clubs in various parts of the country, gaining thereby an intimate knowledge of fraternity personnel and conditions which she hns found of inestimable value in the dev elopment of editorial policy.

Old things are passing away and all things are being made new before our eyes College frat e rnit ies, like a ll other institutions of modern life, are being tried as by fir e . The future alone can determine whether or not th ey will be relegat ed to the sc rap -heap of things which have served t heir p ur pose or will pISS thr ough a r enning process into a period of greater u sefulness. Du ring this time of uncertainty it is the mission of TH I ARROW to keep unbr oke n the contin uou s rec ord of Pi Beta Phi's activity, to show th e world the true spirit and aim of her organizati on, and to inspire her members with an ever -increasing desire for e enuine. practical se rvi ce.

This last takes hundred s of postals and when 44 of 78 club reports are missing :L week th ey are due considerable correspondence is necessary to round them ap (One club report for the June AR.ROW came the day your Atamn8e Editor left home for convention.) Doten! of postah are sent isolated Pi Phis telling of other Pi Phis that live near, when the mailing list brings this propinq uity to tight. Listl of changes of address are sent the ca tal og uer and thence to the Province Vice-presidents after each issue for the correction of their cards. Each year all exchanges are sent the names and addresses of o ur officers that desire their magazines. This will not be necessary in the future among the women's fraternities because of National Panhellenic 's new printed exchange lilt.

Can not the clubs remedy this?

Cltattges or Addi/ions. Some ch anges in the system have become ne ce ssary to cope with the rapidly increaling volume of work, for at beginning of this tenure of office there were about 4.000 on our ARROW mailing li st and catalogue, now there a re over 6,000, a 500/'0 increase. The number of chapters and clubs have also increased, of course. One of first improvements was the insertion of the slip in THE Anow for noting one's change of address. This has helped immeasurably and u\' ed endlclI correspondence. The rearrangement of the card. from a gtogr.:l. phical to an alphabetical classification ( a talk of many days) has lessened both work and correspondence.

The redemption of undeliveuble Alltows bas made pollible a new veri fication of nixies. The new atyle of the mailing list where city and town i. repeated with ead name makes a great deal more writing nece.ury. but i. ufer and saves time in findin, one'l plate on the mailinc lisL The AJalDDlI!

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN O F THE SETTLEMEN T SCHOOL

At the Panhelleni c Council held in Chicago l ast October, Mrs. Helmick sent her resignation as Chairman of the Settlement School Committee to th e Crand Council and in l ooking for a candidate, they found yo ur humble servant wh o happened to be visiting in C hicago at that time. Since the sc hool was (ounded. I hav e been intensely interested in the work, but have never hoped to be at its head, and J can ass ure yo u it hu been one of the greatest privileges and pleasures 10 serve these lew months. Owing to a change of residence. Mrs Helmick was delayed in sending me the book and working material so that I really did not assume contro l in December. This m'8.kes my own record rathe r short and uneventful. The school year opened the first week of August with the following corps of teachers:

Mr. Norman Pri chtt, principa1, taught manua l training, bad charge of the recreation grounds. and taught some classes.

His wife, Mrs. EsteUe Pri cke tt, had cbar&c of the sewing, and Domestic Science Department. The two did tae settlement work among the people of the community. In November. a baby boy came to their borne which interfered IO mewbllt with the work of Mrs. Pricke tt 81 she was very ill (or lliomc weeki afterward, and her work was taken by the other teachers.

Miss Marjorie Ja ckson, Wisconsin A, &Cted as secretary, taught the inter· mediate grade., wrote all letters to the chapters and THE AIlJlOW, .nd assumed the duties of head resident in lieu of our having one.

Miss Ruth Me.chen, Illinois 4, taught the higher grades and music and had charge or the library.

Mil. Emily Burton taught the little children and acted as housemother, having charge of the meal" planning the work for the outside helpers, and was respon· sible for everything inside of tbe teachers' cottage.

Later, Mrs. Emily Pratt. motber of a Northwestern n f1, went to belp in tbis ",ark and relieved Miss Burton until the last of February. From then until ICbool closed, Mrs. Geo. \V. Ball of Iowa City had this work. These two only asked for their expenses to and from school, giving their services free.

In February, Miss Melinda Stuart and myself made our first visit to Gatlin · burg and while the four or five days we could be tbere were crowded full of business, they were mos t enjoyable. Everyone was kind and hospitable and we were privileged in visiting most of the homes of o ur p upi ls. Whil e tbere we decided to hire Marshal Ogle to ca r e for the farm and garden, secure the wood for winter, have charge of the furnace, gas engine, etc. For this we gave him $30 during IChool months and $lS during the vacation. He and hi. wife have the Stuart cottage to live in free of tent. The schoo l closed about tbree week. after we were there and I am l ur e it was with credit to each one of the teachers. I asked them for (l list of articles that would be necessary for the ir com fort next year, and was told of these few items which the delegates might make noll: of and report to their leveral chaplera in case any sho uld care to donate some of th em for the teachers' cottage: Plain sheets and pillow cases, Wash cloths, Set of dishes, Book., Maga:tines, Clock, Victrola records.

To prevent duplications, it migbt be best to write the chairman before send· ini' the gifts down to the sc h oo l. All donations of a rtid es o r money shou ld go through the bands of the chairman that due credit may be given the individual. The money brought in by the sale of the industrial w o rk made by tbe inhabitants of the community, which amounted to $112.32, will be used for materials needed in the manual training, domestic science, and sewing departments.

We hope to be ready to open the first of August for another year of ever· &rowing usefulness to these worthy people of the mountains. The past year has seen nine of onr boys go from Gatlinburg to help the Government in its fight for Liberty, and I feel sure they are better soldiers and more' useful men for our IChool having come into tbeir lives.

Perhaps I may be a ll ow ed t o d escribe b r ie fl y th e ope r a ti o ns i n?olved in every marriage which occurs among the m embers of th e fraternity. Every girl's name appears in three in d i r ecto r y, in the !.i st o f the cbapter to which sbe beloDI's--and i f sbe belonKs to more than one chapter. it appears under each chapter-in the alph abetical list, and in the ge0lrraphi cal list, under her borne address. and sometime s also ander th e place whe r e s h e i s temporarily. espeeially if that ttmporary address be a somewhat permanent one.

Let us suppose then that 1 have jut received word of the marriage of • citt belonging to Michigan A and Michigan B It is now neceuary to put in bu new married name on the two chapter cards. Then on the maiden card in the alphabetical list mull be added the notation of the married name, and a new card made for the alphabetica.l list under the married name, and p ut in its proper place . Then the geographical ca rd must allO be changed as the specific occasion requires. Multiply this performance several hundred times. and you will perhaps get lOme conception of the task of the cataloguer after each issue of TUB A2Iow, for the changes made necessary by the marriages.

Add to this the work iDvolved in the many changes of address. and you will see that the work is still further complicated.

The second year, alphabetical li !ot:o; of changes from the directory cou ld be publi s hed in a. cop y of TilE ARROW , if possible without too great expense. The third year the procedure of the first year should be again carried out. wilh the addition of revising the lists of mem· bers of chapters no longer active, Ilnd during the fourth year a new directory should be issued. It would seem that this should enable the Cataloguer to keep her files in s hape to be really useful, nnd it would also mean that the chapter officers would be cons tantly alert to maintain thcir lists in order.

Though from the very nature of things, and the present of Ihe frater· nHy-and may our tribe increase whenever the right material presents itself!these results must be planned for by some lort of rootine methods as indicated above, still the Cataloguer pleads for the intimate touch. 50 (ar as possible. Nothing has warmed the cockles of her heart more than the voluntary sending in of a notice of a marriage or a change of address. with a wo rd of encouragement in her unending task, which is thus made lighter by the personal element, whi ch COlts so litlle, and yet means so much to any officer serving faitllfully in the work to whi c h she has been chosen.

I should be sadly remi ss if I did not here extend my personal a.nd officia.l thanks to the many busy women who were so helpful in trying to keep up to the minute the information in my bands as to their own special group. Mrs. Bostwick for Michigan A has been especially helpful, MilS Woodman (or New York Beta and Mrs. Theiss for Pennsylvania B, not tn mention many others who haH been so generous in their response to appeals (or help.

I mentioned above that the fin:!.l, revised proof was lost on its .ay to the printer. It was my hope that I should be able to turn over to the fraternity at thil time the money for whi c h this package wu insured, but at this writing it has not been recei ved.

May I urge again tha.t .11 errors i n the dire cto ry should be c a lled to the altt-fltion o( the Cataloguer, in order that the file may be correcttd and ready for the next incumbent?

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

It has certainly been a great pleasure to do this work {or the fraternity, and if tbe little directory, whose shortcomings no one can see more c learly than the Cataloguer, proves t o be helpful. all her effort will be well repaid .

REPORT OF THE HISTORIAN

The Hi s torian su bmits the following report:

Having assumed the duties of Historian but recently, and these duties being somewhat limited and mostly confined to research and c leri ca l work, there is little of interest to r epo rt.

A third 400 page re co rd volume has been found necessnry which s h ows the rapidly in creas ing membership of our large and p r oud f amily. Our reco rds now cover wholly or pa rt of a thou sand pages.

The record of each c hapter has been added to, and with a few excep tions, the roll s and chapter hi s tories are complete to date . The delinq uen c i es will I>e added upon opening of college in the autumn

As a re sult of an interesting correspondence with the E,uydopedia Dri· tallnica the data und e r "College Frate rn ities" in the last edi tion stating that K A e was the "first women's society or sorority" will be changed in the next edition, and Pi Beta Phi will ha ve the hon o r which be l ongs to her.

The Hist o rian r epo rt s w it h r eluc tance and regret a deplorable ca r el essness in rendering reports on the part of many chapte r historians. This is n ot due to l ack o{ interest or desire to cooperate, {or the chapte r spirit as shown by th e Hi storian's letter files is fine. It is urg ed that chapte r historians nse th e prescribed {raternity statione ry , with printed h eadlines , and that all re co rds be written with the greatest care and accuracy

The Hi sto r ian r eports with pleasure the growing interest in c hapter histories. Chapter history, tr aditions, and spirit go a long way toward success in rushing and this should be kept in min d all th e tim e The chapter historian has a splendid opportunity for working up in her chapt er and alumna: a strong uprit de corps which will have a strengthening effect up o n the ca mpus and with the college authoriti es . Many girls have selec t ed their co ll ege because of its "fine college spirit/' Let us wo rk to make Pi Beta Phi's hist o ry and spi rit a magnet f o r the best and fine s t in our co ll ege liv es . Ten thou sa nd Pi Phis arc now scatte r ed ove r the world. Each chapter historian ha s it in her power t o arouse in h e r chapler and alumna: a force {or cOOperation, support, and national stTength which could make the name of Pi Beta Phi a power for great works in the nation. Let us try to work to develop this spi rit up to a point where it will become a matter of comment in the Panhellenic world : let us try to put Pi Beta Phi in the foremost rank of fraternities for solid cooperation, s t eadfas tness. true worth, and unselfish service to "w hats oever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report."

REPORT OF ALPHA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Alpha Province President submits the folJowing report: I shall attempt to co nd ense a would·be detailed report of individual chapters by confining myself to a mere outline o f general conditions for I realize the necessity {o r mach curtailing.

It was with much reluctance and hesitancy that I consented to fill out the unexpir ed t e rm of Mrs. Coolidge from April, 1916. Had it not been for the splendid and well·organized condition in which Mrs. Nickerson left the province, I am lure I could never have ca rried on the work during these past three years.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS

In general the chapters are flourishing, gaining steadily in strength and sending oot e&eh year splendid types of womanly girls, equipped by their healthy and helpful chapter life to meet the demands placed on the college woman of today.

Every chapter u:ct:pt Ontario A has been vi.ited during the interim of con· ventioD. Everywhere the girls were enthusiastic and loyal, eager to hear new, of their sister chapters A visit of inspection was made t o Hllnter Coll ege in the spring of 1917.

Ontario A has indeed bee n a victim of unfortunate circumstances. We have had a hard time to communicate with each other (or letters and eYeD telerrams bave failed to reach tbeir delilioation. Last winter when I could bave visited them co llege was closed because of a coal shortage.

The last three years have been hud ones for the girls. most of tbem doing their patriotic bit along with their college work. Oftentimes J have wondered hoW', with it all, tbey could still b:lve strength :lnd enthusiasm for college and fraternity duties.

Several informal calls were made on New York A in addition to the official visit. A splendid cooperation and harmony were ever apparent, although New York.A has the largest chapter in Ihe province New York: r does not seem to have lost any of the enthusiasm which has always been so evident. for they are now enjoying a lovely new h ome which Ihey bope to have paid for in the very near future.

Knowledge of the cooditions io the two Vermont chaplers has been gained ooly through correspondence, as Mrs. Nickerson visited both chaplen just before I began my work. At the University of Verm on t the chief trouble is tbe scarci ty of girls which oftentimes makes rushing II. problem.

In all the chapters much time h as been given over to Red Cross and o ther war work. It would take considerab l e space to ltive in detail the work which individual chapters through o ut the province are doing along these lines .

Rushing throughout the province has been marked by unusual simplicity and !,:plendid results. Thi s is proof positive to my mind that elaborate and extraYagant rushing is not essential to good results.

The honors of all kinds for scho larship , popularity, and executive ability won by Pi Beta Phil compare favorably with those won by the other fraternities. Alpha Province has had her share of Pbi Beta Kappa s but hopes to have many more before another year r olls around.

I! I could be accused of having had one hobby this yea.r, it would be scholn · ship, for I have hammered contin ually on this one subject to the end that in most cases there seems to be a marked improvement. The real r esu lts, how · ever, will be evident during the next few yean.

Alumnae enthusiasm is on the increase for the cooperation exsisting between alum n il! clubs and active chapters is indeed gratifying. This condition is due, I be l ieve, to the sp lendid work of the advisory committees.

Thi. mere outline of the work can n o t give even a smAll conception of the many pleasant memori es whi ch I have of my work as President of Alpha Pro \·ince. · It has given me a vision of just what it means to be a Pi Phi and has inspired me to live a life worthy of her ideals. If I have been able to give even a bit of this vision and inspiration to the chapters of my province then my work has not been in vain.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF BETA PROVIN CE PRES1DENT

The President of Beta Province submits the following rep ort: the duties of Provin ce President were entire ly new to the present incum· btnt when cqllege opened in the fall of 1915, she followed the advice of predecessorts and made early chapter visits in o rder tu become acquainted as soo n as ma.y

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

bt. with the personnel of chapters, their peculiar prohlems, and the atmosphere of their respective co11ere h omes. Accordingly, every chapter in Beta Province was visited du rin g the college year 1915-16, and the Province President's list of Pi Ph i friendships was lengthened and strengthened by meeting the 168 girls then in the active chapters and also many of their alumnae.

MUIBERSHIP

At that time the average site of the chapters of this province was 24 and throughout the thr ee ytars it hIlS remained the same, Pennsylvania .A, Maryland A, and Co lumbia A maintaining consistently a larger membership. and Virginia A continuing relatively smaller in numbers. In r ec ruiting the se ranks during the three years, 255 bids have issued, 49 have been won from other frater· n;ties and 36 lost to other fraternities.

ScKOLARSHIP

Through out the province th e standard of schola r ship has been more than sa t isfactory; it has been generally high. Penn sy h 'ania A., Pennsylvania B. Penn sy lvania r, Columbia A, and Florida A have led all fraternity groups for most of the time and the latt er has twice successive ly won the sc h olD.r5hip c up offered by the Jacksonville Pan hellenic A ssoc iation to the fraternity with the highest scholarship record. If Florida A holds this record next year the c up will become her property hlaryland Alpha's mark s have been above the average. Virginia A has averaged B (90%), and Virginia B lacked last Quarter only .20/'0 of first place.

COOPERATIO:-' IN COLLECE ACTIVITIES

Every char>ter in Beta Province, with perhaps one exception, due to city and co ll ege conditions, is well represented in all the aelivi t ies of its co llege life and many Pi Phis hold the of greatest student responsibility The faculty of every college has expressed its appreciation of Pi Phi's cooperation, and r ecent chaple r letters in THE ARROW must have convinced all wh o read them of the earnestness with which Pi Phis have entered up on endowments, Liberty Loan. War Savings, and thrift s tamps umpaigns. V. M C. A., Y W C. A ., and Red Cross drives, surgical dressings, dietetics and ot her war courses introduced into the college cur r icula, and s u pport to college a nd national administrations in curtailing expenses of entertaining and dress and in accepting changes in college and fraternity diet.

MUTINCS

All of the Beta Province chapters hold regular weekly meetings in their ff3ternity rooms , most of them being busine ss meetings with some sort of con· structive program where t ime permits. and some being business and social meetings alternately. Pennsylvania A is to be especially co ngratulated upon the splendid. busineulike, and altogether satisbctory char a cter of her c hapter ings. One chapter is particularly weak in this respe ct.

CHAPTER ROO M!

The meetings are held in the fraternity rooms bec au se no ne of the chapten in Beta Provin ce have chapter-h o use s. except Virginia A, whose wide-parched bungalow is for fraternity and social purposes only and not f or housing the girls. Virginia A rej oices upon baving paid oft' tbis year all the debt on her house and burnt the mortgage as a fiftb birthday celebration. Pennsylvania r has this yeu her bope of sec:uriDI two new rooms near the college campus with new and attractive furnisbiDp. Maryland.l. il abo occupyin e a new suite .

FINANel

Mos t of the chapters have monthly duel of $1.00. 0 •• "as a So c eat monthly tax and two have dues each .semester. As there are no f ra ternity houses in the province. the financial problems are few ·"'e spirit of the times is

teading to limit extra assessmenta (or cotettajoin&, and to reduce fU.hinaexpeons very materially. The aver&&e expenditure {or rushing is $35.

RUSHING

RusbiD& is the Ireatc sl problem which COD/ronts Beta Province. It i. inte ruting to Do te from the college enrollments that the war conditions have not affected registration a' aU 10 Car as the girl, are concerned. In the women'. coUca-cs of the province the enrollment is laraer tbis year th::a.n ever before and in tbe coed schools the percentage of women is naturally larger than formerly. So the Question of material for rushing is n ot vital. but the que s tion of method. i, the problem. MtJry !a.nd A has been confronted by both faculty and s tudent antifutcrnity at:otimcnt and the Goucher Pa.ohcllcnic ha. t ried almost every lec.,th of rushing period and method oC procedure in the hope oC conciliating the faculty . PennsylvallitJ A find I a three·day rU l hing period with initiation any rime very satisfactory and Pennsylvania B app rove s of bidding in March and pledpng in Jun e at the end oC the Crelhman year. Pellnsyl v ania r bu rushing trouble. due to the fact that there is at Dickinlon only one rival f raternity, wh ose national policy is so different from Pi Phi 's that l )an hellenic agreemen t s are almost impossiblc. Col umbia.-\ rushes against the same rivnl and confrontl the same difficulty because the requirement of a unllD imo u s vote in the George Washington Panhellenic imposes the rule oC the minority upon the majority oC the fr&ternities there. Virginia.A wo uld like a second semeste r pledae day instead of sophomore pledging. Cor lihe find s the strain of personal rUlhing through a whole colleae year and following summer severe. She meets the bandicap. too, of Pi Phi's being less well kn own in the South than many small nationals whi ch have aotten a stronl foothold there. Florida.A is abo affected by this situation and is anxious for Pi Ph i's southern exte n s ion. Virginia B is to be congratulated upon the complete success of her fint rushing season as a nationnl j she b id and pledged ei ght new girls this year.

Of the chapters individually the Pr o vince President has noted the following characteristic. :

PennsyivanUJ A draws from an unu s ually fine class of st ud en ts reprnenting a large percentare of fraternity material. The chapte r il full of college and fraternity spirit and dots eood social service work.

PenMylvanio. B and Virginia A show a fine spirit of democracy which is characteristic of their colleges. The girls are earnest workers and good allaround s tudents and in both groups are strong, efficient leaders.

Pe"nsylvQnUJ r, despite her Pan hellenic difficulties, wo rks with the faculty to solve the fraternity problem" . The chapter's sc holarship i s good and it .. college honors many, but it is Dot a unit and needs more fraternity spirit.

Nar)l bnd A lives in a colle&e that has outgrown its bounds and has had to add four new build inKs this year. Goucher and war-time activities are flourish· inl' but the fraternities ex is t on suft'erance only and d o well to maintain so hieh a standard under the college conditions.

Columbja .A. has felt keenly the heavy hand of war and its fraternity organi!ation has been weakened by the enrollment of many of ill members in the service of Uncle Sam. This means th a t c1aslts are attended after government office hours and there is little time to foster frat e rnity life. But the gir ls of Columbia .A. arc stroni and fioe, and, despite outside work, have kept up their scholarship, and tbis ycar'. graduates carried off many of the h ig he st h onon the college h .. to bestow.

Vir,in;a B was vis i ted by the Province President while still a petitioning &roup and wa. endorsed enthuljaslieally, the standards of Hollins having been raised to P i Pb i' . re quirements. The airls add to the charm of the southe rn type tbe earDe lto en and seriousness of aood colIeae student. and hold an important place in the colle re life .. t Hollins.

Florida A thrives ill a most genial climate and congenial collelrC and fraternity atmosphere and is full of the kind of spirit which makes a stronr and

Since the last conven tion the Beta Province Prcsident ha s visited, in addition to the chapters, four petitioning groups. One of these, at the University of P en nsylV Ania has withdrawn, one at H o ll ins is now Virginia B, and two, whos e petitions are to be presented to tbis convention, "The Dianthians" of the University of Pittsburgh, and "The Circle" at West Virginia University, I hope may soon be granted charters of Pi Beta Phi.

Respectfully submitted, MARGUERITE \V. HYNSON.

REPORT OF GAM MA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Gamma Province President submits the following report :

Since the last reports of officers of the fraternity, only two chapters have been visited by Gamma Pr ovince Pr esident, Michigan A and Mi ch iga n B, the l atter during filII rushing season.

As to statistics for the year, about 33 invitations to membership were won from rivals, against the 3 lost to rival organitations . The size of c hapters rang es from 20 to 4 9 In diana r and Michigan A being the smallest, and Michigan B the larges t. The question of handling such a large chapter as one of 4 9 members is a very interesting one

For the scholarship of the province, reports are not definite. Michigan A stood at the head of organizations at Hill sda l e. Michigan D reports an average of "about B." Ohio A reports an average of 89.33. Ind iana B is about "850/0-lower than usual." Indiana A is "unable to give accurate rep ort , s tanding high." Indiana r and Ohio n do not report o n scholarship.

The average of the fraternity examinations for the province was 91.11. Ohio A secured first place this yenr, as she did last year, with an average of Cj6.:zsp lendid papers

Franklin, Butler, Ohio University, nnd Hillsdal e College show an attendance of women Itudents of from 60 to 70% of the student body. Ohio State has 30% and University of Michigan 25'}'0. All represent increasing percentages of w omen students

The finest feature of the year has been the splendid way in wbi ch the chapters hav e given tbeir entire energy and enthusiasm to the war relief work of their institutions. In addition to their valuable work with the colleges, for Y. W. and Y. M. C. A and f or Red Cross. and the buying of Liberty Bonds, Ohio B, Michigan A, Indi ana B, Ohio A, 8.lId Indiana r, five of the seve n chapters in the province. have purchased Liberty Bonds to be given t o th e Settlement School. This was the fine suggestion of Texas A. an added effort for our country, and a quick cberis hing of our particular ward.

Some few questions, troubling the internal life of the chapters. have been submitted to the Province President. None proved serious, and in fact, th e usual minor troubles of chapters seem to have been almost comp letely lost in the greater iss ue s Chapter and alwnnz letters in the last ARROW fill one with enthusiasm and a splendid pride for the intense and practical zeal for service whicb c lu bs and chapters are universally showing. The service of fraternity groups is an integral part of tbe inspiring results produced by colleges and universit ies College women are proving themselves in a way to cause pride. The beroic work of the Smith College unit. now under the Red Cross, is but an example. Othe r colleges are forming similar UOlt S Vassar's great institution has been transformed into a summer training school for nurses. Smith College has been offered for specialized training in war work, tbe delicate handling of mentally affected returned soldiers. This work is to be conducted in connection with the Massachusetts State Hospital for the Inlane W esthampton College has given its entire campus and its buildings for a government hospital, as we

know. These things are the more striking examples of service, bal there is hardly an institution that is not fitting itself to offer stronger and larger vocational department5--hnsiness, domutic science, and useful trades.

Ma,. our fraternity women, who are still enjoying the benefits of college life and chapter life, see their noble opportunities, continue in the example they have conservarion in household expen.ie, dress. activities, eliminating rush and all other artificialities, and working eagerly for country, for college. and fraternity.

REPORT OF DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Delta Provin ce Pruident submi ts the following report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

The reolistricling of provinces in 1915 to new c hapt ers, of which are in Illin ois. One of the five, Illin ois E. I have lived w ith, J might say I have been present at business at flcozies,l' at every rushing party 2nd nearly initiation. The {Our I visited during past two yean-Illinois B. 6, Z and n, also \Visconsin .A at Madison. On account of unforeseen conditions and untoward circumstances. I was obliged to up my visit to Minnesota A, to my everlasting

The chapters vary in from to forty-five girls. Minnesota.A. Wi sco nsin A, and Ill inois B , own c hapt e r-hous es, the Intter used for business and social affairs only. Illinois Z and H rent their houses, while lIlinoi. 6 and E have rooms in the dormitories.

A glance at li.t of Pi Phi offices in different organiza tions will suffice to show that our c ha p ters are well rep rese nt ed in all college activities. We have ha d two Woman's League presidents, two Literary Society heads, a full list of Y. W. C. A. cabinet Student Council and p:lrticipants in athletics Eight elections to Phi Beta Kappa are as well as elections to the scientific honor societies.

Delta Provin ce has been consistent in observing simplicity in all its social affairs, devoting the money thus saved to Cross purposes. Simpler rushing partie s have meant a saving of both strength nnd funds Four of the chapters bought Liberty Bonds for the School; the others have contributed generously to the college fund for bonds and to the Army Y. M. C. A. fund.

During the first year of my service. I that the pledges send me sho rt autobiognphies. Thi s requ es t was comp lied with by four chapters, and the letters proved to be most and illuminating.

I have received the Kn ox Student from Illin ois 6 for over two years, and the Minne sota and North\H s t ern Dailies for a period of one year, which courtesy has bttn much appreciated.

In Mo.y I paid an un official visit to the petitioning group at Beloit, Wis . , and was pleased with the girls and the college conditions. I was not ready to give the group a formal endorsement at the time peti tion went out, but I should be glad to have Pi Beta Phi enter Beloit.

Frankly I cannot say that a positi1.'e spirit of unity exisits in Delta Provin ce Perhaps the means of fostering that spirit has been l acki ng in these three years We had hoped in the interim of conventions that a province house party or convention could again be arranged as in 1914 . when the Syllalia was h e ld a.t Highland Park. F or various r easons this was not feasible True,] find a splendid growing spirit, on the whole, toward the national organizntion with all its multiple interests. The School has done wonders to broaden the vision and sympathies of groups otherwise very locn.1 in their interests. It goes without slIying that the common interest in War Relief work has wrought a tremendous influence toward democratizing individuals and groups. Then why, with all these activities and i"u cm n, we as groups s till

EPSILON PROVIN C E PRESIDENT'S REP O RT

The Actin&, President of Epsilon Province submits the following report to the Twenty-fourth Convcntion of Pi Beta Phi:

SiDce my work in tbe province actually began in February when the archives reached me, this re port will necessarily be q u ite brief and lacking in any constr aclive ide... The fonner president will no doubt give a detailed report of ber vi.it to each chapter snd of uistin& conditiOD' throughout tbe province .

All of my work bu b«n car ried on through correspondence which is indeed very un sa tisfactory. Since a member of the Grand Council vi s it ed each chapter in the province. my work h as been merely to COllei:l information and to stimulate interest and loyalty in college and fraternity life. No problema have arisen where it was necc s.a ry for me to give advice.

There are twelve chapters in Epsilon Province, while the largest number in any other province is nine. I r ecommend that the province be redi vided at convention so tbat the ch:lpters will be fewer in number and not so sca ttered. Since our fraternity keeps growin&, it will probably be necessary to redi s tri ct the provinces at each convention.

Of tbe 263 active members of Pi Beta Phi in the province. S6 have won colle&e honors. In some cases the honors had Dot been given out by the faculty so tbis is not accurate. There are two elections to Phi Beta Kappa; there are class and society officers, literary and athletic bonors among tbc!>e_

Of tbe 131 invitati o ns issued, onl y 13 were lost to riv al organizations while 27 were won from them. The present ru s hing conditions at Sophie Newcomb College do not enable the girls to know whether they l ose to other organizations or whether they win from them. Tbis. I believe. is the solution to the ru shin g problem.

Tbe scholarsbip reports are incomplete but Iowa A. and Iowa B ranked first in their respe cti ve colleges while other reporting cbapters ranked third. No failures or conditions were reverted.

Only seven of the twelve chapters live in h o uses and four of these are rented. In almost every inuance the cost of living in the house is just a triRe higher than living in dormitory or boarding hou se. However, this condition is offset by the influence of tbe home life.

When Texas A. conceived the idea of buying Liberty Bonds for our Settlement School, Epsilon Pro vince was only too happy to do her s hare Ten of o ur chapters bought a $so bond and the other two were in favor of the idea but had already pledged a l mu c h as they felt they could carry.

1 un indeed sorry 1 cannot meet our delegates at convention but because of war conditions 1 feel that my duty. at present. is in my home. Resptttfully submitted.

REPORT OF ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Zeta Province President s ubmits the following report:

Durine the last three years Pi Beta Phi has maintained a leading pOSItIon in the six chapters of ZetA Province. The higb ideals of our organiution, the seriou!';ness and fAithfulness of active chapte rs, and the abiding interest and enthusiasm of the alumnlle are pushing Pi Be tA Pbi ever ahead, And 1 sincerely believe that tbis vieorous fraternal spirit is expressed in our maintenance of the Settlement School. in our coOperalion with college officials, and in our desire to work for tbe eovernment in time of war.

AU over the country men's college fraternity life is at a standstill. The chapten htLve been so depleted by the war that. in most colleges. special rules have been made for meo', frAternities. Womeo have not been drafted by the eovemment or sent away. their chapter life has gone OD. However, a new seriousoen , a mental awakeninr hal been quickened in women. They desire no immunity

from service and are the first to put aside any advantage which comes (rom their bting women. During the l ast yea r the more responsible p laces in college liCe have fallen to women. I n all Pi Beta Phi chapters the members have sought these new places. Not as chapters but as individunh th ey h ave worked (or the Red Crcls Many oC our graduates have entered training (or foreign nursing. I visited the chapters during 1915-16 and they were visited during 1917- 18 by a membe r of Grand Council.

Tbe chapters seem to be prospering financially. Wyoming A hrus bought a lot, and recently bought a L iberty Bond to hold tow ard n chaple r h ome Colorado A is paying off th e indebtedness on th e fi n e chapt e r -hou se in Boulder, '!Uld gave a Liberty Bond to Settlement Sc h ool. Colorado B has comp l eted a beau· tiful new bungal ow u pon the site of the o l d one and gave a Liberty Bond to the Sett l eme nt Sc h ool. Ok l ahoma A took a new chapter h o u se l ast year and fur· nished it bea utifull y. The lot fund of $J,OOO of T exas A was invested in War Savings S t amps. Texas B has furnished an att ra ctiv e Pi Beta Phi r oom in Southern Methodist University. Both T exas A and Texas n gave a Liberty Bond to the Settlement School.

Sin ::e l ast co nventi on a new cha p ter has been es t ablished, Texas B at Southern Method is t University at Dallas, Tex . The college is advancing and o ur new c h apter has fulfilled all expectations. A group ca ll ed Beta Phi wishes to petition from Oklahoma .A and II at Stillwater, Okla. This group is sp l endidly endorsed, but their petition was not presented in time for thi s conve ntion.

During the summer of 1916 a province house party wns held by Co lorado B at Palmer Lak e. Colo. Colorado A, Wyo ming A, and Texas A sent delegates.

During the fall of 19 16 Zeta Province was greatly disturbed by Panhellenic troubles Three Pi Beta Phi chapters were penalif:ed and another Pi Beta Phi chapter brought a complaint against Kap pa Alpha Theta. No trouble was rep o rted d uri ng the last y ea r.

Antifraternity agitation by state legislatures hns be e n conspicuo u s ly absent lat ely, b ut this is no doubt due to the fact that matters of greate r importance hold the public mind. Every questio n i s now conside r ed in its r e l ation to the war.

The P an h ell enic s urv ey sh ows that forty of o ur chapte rs have the scholars hip r eq uirem ent fo r initiation.

REPORT OF ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Eta Province President submits the following re port:

Unforeseen obstacles having p r evented my attendance at o ur convention , I must conten t myself with this brief written exp re ssion

1 am pleased to report that a re view of Eta Province activities discloses the fact that California A, California B, and Was hington A have h ad members e l ected to B K during the past two years. and, indeed, the scholarship through· o ut has been very gratifying. In each chapte r we hav e had a strong campus l eader from the house. ]n view of wa r -time conditions and the co nsequent burdening of the house with war work I am sure that scholarship and campus leadership are bound to be the vital contributing factors in maintaining the fraternity s trength.

A l etter (particula rly mine) is a poor substitute for the spoken word, but at the r isle of becoming tedious I must speak of a co uple of matters whic h I cann ot present in person.

In the first place, after three yean of service &1 Pro\;nce President I am more convinced than ever that our coast provi n ce should be divided. Conditions are trying at the pruent time and will become mote so. Efficiency is the urge in every line of endeavor and until our coast province is divided it cannot be efficiently supervised. for with the province as largt: &. it i. there must alway. be lacking that intimate persona l touch between the president and the chap ten which can only come fr om frequ ent visit •.

I must also express myself as opposed to installing the petitioning group at the University of Utah at lhi s time. On the question of Mormonism I have no precoDceind convictions although we must rec ognize it as a question to be considered and decided by the fraternity as a whole I do feel, however, that until the present chapters have r ece ived for a considerable period of time the national support to which they are entitled, it wo uld be poor policy to add to the Grand Council', burden s by accepting new groups in the West.

During my term of office I have tried to the beu of my ability to administer the fraternity affairs within my j urisdi ctio n. I have not accomplished nearly as mu c h u I intend ed , and what little I have done has been largely the result of chapter cooperation.

To all my chapters I want to express my thanks for their assistance and my pleasure in their association.

In closing let me paraphrase ( with apologies to the unkn own author) a verse which I read in a current n ewspape r.

lIere is a to as t I wish to drink to a friend I may never kn o w-

T o the Pi Phi who's going to take my place, for it's time for me to go.

I've wondered what kind of a girl she'll be, and I've wished I could take her hand,

Just to whisp e r, "I wish you well" in a way that she'd understand; I'd like to giv e her the cheering word th at I've longed at times to hear;

I'd like to give h e r a warm hand clasp when never a friend stems near.

I ' ve learned my little by blunders I fear, but I wish I cou ld pass it on

T o the Pi Phi who ' ll come to tak e my place today since I am gone.

Will she see all the sad mistakes I've made, and note all the battles lost?

W1II she ever guess of th e tears they caused, or the heart -ac hes which they cost?

Will she gaze through the failures and fruitless toil to the plan beneath tbe swi rl,

And catch a glimpse of the real intent and the beart of a vanquished girl?

Respectfully submitted, TREASUU MCCLYWONDS.

REPORT OF ALPIIA PROVINCE VICE - PRESIDENT

Alpba Province Vice-president submits the {ollowing report:

I understand that this report is t o be a summary of the work of the past three years, as well as an account of what has been accomplished during the la st twelve months. I will mention some things thnt we have done, some thai we have left und one, and some that r hope we may do during the coming year.

My own work hu consisted largely in keeping the list of addresses up to date. I have now about 1 ,000 cards in my file, nearly all of which have been

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

corrected or completed in the last thr ee years . Though I have used all available sources of information. it was not un Iii I r eceived the new directory last week, that I was able to mak e the list anywhere near accurate or compl ete. In the few days in which I ha d access to the directory, I made additions or cor rections on SJo cards Nothing co uld show more plainly the need and value of this new catalogue. No onc can realize the amount of time. thought, and hard work which the Cataloguer ha s devoted to the preparation of this book, but we can all enjoy the results of her labors. We certainly owe her a great debt of gratitude.

U an annual supplement could be published, it would greatly simplify the co rr ecting of addresses and avoid the double work of using both THE AlUtow and the mailing li st. It would also mean conservation of time and paper if each Province Vice -p re side nt would always send in the cards of th ose leaving her province.

The work of s upervi sing the clubs has been easy in that nearly nil nre trying to live up to the re q uir eme nts and send in money and reports promptly. It is unsatisfa c to ry in that the officers never write except in answe r to direc t questions, so that it is hard to k eep in touch with the work from month to month

There a re nine cl ub s in Alpha Pr ovince. one of which, Buffalo, has been c hart e red since last convention. A group in New Hampshire has met a few time. and the outlook for a club there is g ood. Nearly all the clubs have inc r eased in membership this year, although th e total amo unt of national dues, $120. is slightly less than last year. All are interested in the Sett lemen t School, and nearly all are giving toward its s uppo rt, $423.61 being reported this year, beside several amounts wh ic h hav e not been rep orted. Th e clubs report $67 .5 0 given to other objects. All are doing war work, eithe r as clubs or individually.

The bigge st achievement in the province d ur ing the three years w as New York ', rai sin g of its membership t o 107 and its contrib ution to the school to $600. a year ago. We could hardly expec t them to continue th a t under war conditions, but th ey have had a most successfu l seaso n with unu s ually interesting meetings and an active share in many lines of war work.

R oc he s ter. Duffalo. Northern New York, and W este rn Massachu se tts are an inspiration as showi ng what small groups can do. Toronto. of co urse, is a l eade r in war activities, but sti ll finds time for good fellowship.

Among things left und one is the failure to interest many members within easy reach of alumn:r c lub s. In some cases the proporti on of resi de nt Pi Phis who belong to the clubs is much too small. As an extreme example of the opposite kind, note Northern New York with 5 residents and 23 paid members. Inci· dentally th ey are paying for their house. in which an expen sive new heating plant has been installed , but that did not prevent them from giving to the Settlement School 85 usual.

The fai l ure to get girls to join clubs. o r to attend meetings wh en they have joined may be tra ced to a lack of cordiality, or effort on the part of the club to interest younger girls or those from othe r c ha pte rs as well as to indifference on the parts of these girls. It is also due to the fact that too many active girls consider graduation as the end of their fraternity responsibility A ctive girls should be tra in ed for work just as carefully and definitely as pledges are trained for active membership.

\V e oURht also t o organize many new clubs in states where n one exist. My efforts along this line a year ago met with so l ittle success that I have attempted nothing thi s year. The high cos t of postage and the heavy demands on everyone make it imprac tic able to try to start any new organizati ons except where there is a real demand for them_

When club. exist. the cornman tr ouble is that a few people bear aU the burden. I feel that the only way to avoid this, so far as finances are conce rned, is to have an annual tax payable f o r life People who will never give anythin & to the fraternity should not be permitted to continue to share its benefits

We must, and will. do our share to help win the war, both as a fraternity and as individuals. BUl we must also support the Settlement School. Our government has insisted on nothing more strongly than this, that educati o n must not be curtailed, that the boy. and girls in our schooh must be fitted (or the (Teal tasks that Ilwait them. If we do not maintain our work in Gatlinburg, thOle children will not be prepared to do their part. By training them we help our country at a point of greatest n«d.

Respectfully submitted,

JENNIE B. ALLYN,

REPORT OF BETA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

The Vice·pruident of Beta Province submits the following report:

The work in the province has suffered from tbe foct that I have not been able to come into close touch with the clubs because I moved to a different section of the country during my term of office. I trust that the incoming Pro· vince Vice·president will be able to have the close perlOnal contact with the cl ub s which 1 hue not been able to enjoy but which i. so necessary II) successful work.

My dillance from my clubs, however, has not interfered with the routine work of the province. The Card Catalogue has been kept up to date by com· parison with THE ARROW, mailing list, post office nixies, etc. The li st shows a much larger increase in the number of isolated alumna: than of alumna: in re ach of clubs and brings up again the eve r -present problem of how to make and keep them interested. So far no sol uti on of this problem has been reached l a1though efforts have been made to establish centers in each state and to develop some sort of an organintion through correspondence.

During the past year, h oweve r , larger and more pressing inte re sts have demanded the time and atlention of us all IDd the isolated alumoR have 1>«n left to upress their war energies through some othe r channel than Pi Phi. I trust that some means may be devised by this convention by which this energy may be directed into Pi Phi channels.

As to the clubs in the province, I think Pi Phi may feel proud of the spirit of cooperation and helpfulness displayed by them all. Pi Phi clubs are no longer sociRI o rganizations existing primarily for the sake of meeting old friends and discussing old times. If they were, I believe I am .afe in saying that we would have n o time for them now. The very fact that each club in the provo ince is stronger at the end of a year of war than it was at the beginning is a proof that they are doing worth while things.

Although half of the clubs have tnken up definite w ar work and the others, of course, have been busy individually with various war activit ies, it is en· couraging that the province Setlll"ment School contrib ution this year is $406 71 as against $2C)6 .05 last year. Even though this exceeds the per member, it is not as much as we should do. Still, it shows that the clubs regard the Settlement Sc hool as a. war·time necessity and there is no disposition in the province, so far as 1 know, to cut ofT contributions to the sc hool on the ground of the more pressing n eeds of Red Cross and kindred war funds. It i s very noticeable that the clubs which have had organized war work as part of their regulsr program, have in every instance c(lntribu t ed more to the Settlement Sc h oo l than they did last year.

The splendid work of the Washington, D. C .• Club deserves especial mention. Because they are located in the capital of our coun try, they, of course, have unusu al opportunities for service and co rr espondingly great responsibilities. They have assumed each responsibility chee rfully as it came to them, enjoying thoroughly the opportunity for service. The hostess house maintainted to ameliorate housing conditions for cotJege women comi ng to Washington to work has been a tremendou s undertak i ng for the Washington girls and a real boon to the ones who have lived there. Add to this a Red Cross branch meetin&, weekly, or2'ani1.ed Y. W . C. A" the s upport of a French War orphan, and a

generous contribution to the Settlement School, and you have an idea of the work tbat bas been done by this club. The smalle r cl ubs have also dODe big things on a necessarily smaller scale. The Phila delp hia C lub has gotten a great dear of pleasure OUI of the adoption of a Gatlinburg soldier boy.

I feel that, as a whole, while the clubs in the province have not increased in number, they have ce rt ainly grown tremendously in a larger thing-the spirit of service. t trust that the coming year may open even wider avenues of service and that through them we may meas ure up mort nearly than ever before t o Pi Phi ideals.

REPORT OF GAMMA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Gamma Province Vice-president submits the following report:

It is n at ural that all reports speak of the effect that war conditions have had upon the work of the alumna!. In the case of the club work of Gamma Province, I am happy 10 SIlY that in the majority of instances the work has received an added impetus from the new serio u sness which bas been aroused in the minds of the women of our country. We have been s u ccessf ul in impressing upon our clubs the fact that the Settlement School is not a secondary matter, even in times as critical as these, but that the education and development of our mountain people is even more of a vital necessity than ever before, and that in the Settlement Sc hool we best preach and live tho s e doctrines of Liberty and Democracy for whi c h our men are fighting in France today.

The provin c e. which at the last convention numbered on its list Jl clubs, now has 12 clubs, but two new ones have been added, the Southwestern Indiana Club, begun under the dir ec tion of Miss Harri et Briggs, and the Akron Club formed the past year, while the Cincinnati Club, after a muIt-itude of fruitless attempts to revive interest, has been d r opped from the club list.

The Hill sdale Club. with only four resident members left, has naturally had no re gu l ar meetings, but they report good cooperation with the active chapter nnd are all enthusiastic Red Cross workers. The germ of a splendid organiz'3.tion is th er e Ilnd we are wait ing for the time when Hills da le will again be numbered among the highly active clubs o f Pi Beta Phi.

From Ann Arbor co me splendid r epo rts of help for th e Settlement School, :1 contribution to the Endowment Fund, $17 worth of ba s kets purchased from the sc h ool, and strong Red Cross interest.

C1e\'e land, as always, shows a perfect organiza tion, with unu s ually good programs and a most enthusiastic membership. This club leads the province in donations to the Settlement School, their gift this year being $no.

The Columbus Club with '!Ul average attendance of 40, has closed a s uccessf ul year with splendid to the Settlement School and strong s upp o rt of the local c hapter, which l ed the fraternity in the Army Y. M. C. A. Campaign, going over the top with $1,026.

The Detroit Alumnae Oub at each meeting sewed for the American-Relief· for -the - Frtnch·Wounded Society and made sewing kits and worked button holes for this organitation. This club is also responsible for the forming of a Detroit Panhellenic Club. The Settlement School and the Fellowship Fund have been suppo rt ed and Michigan B was presented with a gift o f household linen fr om the club. The splendid and organiution of this club was very evident t o all Pi Phis who had the good fortune to stop at Detroit en route to this convention and partake of the delightful hospitality of our Detroit sisters.

From the Franklin Club we receive report s of much war work; some of the club members arc resp o nsible for the organitation of 20 Red Cross aux.iliaries. Gifts wert donated to the Red C r oss and base hospitals, and individual members are very prominent in the war work of Indiana.

An avenge attendance of 40 is reported by the Indi anapolis Club and work for the Red Cross and Christmas boxes for the soldiers are among the activities

No annual reports bave come fr om Alhens and the Indiana Clubs.

From all the organizations. at some lime o r other during the year, has come the word of national war work and we can well be proud of the part that Pi Beta Phi is taking in this world strug gle. We have Dot solved the problem of the i.olated alumnae. though the district clubs drawing from a radius of many mile. are a step forward in th e overcoming of an ancient difficulty.

The mechanical work of the province has on as usual, the keeping of the ca rd cata logue and the collection of alumnae dues being the most prominent of these duties.

t believe that the spirit of cooperation between the clubs and the active chapters is better than it has ever been. and as such a cooperation is a vital need of the fratern i ty. I beli e ve we may well say that Pi Beta Phi has taken & long step forward in fo s tering this mutual interest.

The careful supervision of the Grand Vice-president has been of inestimable in ca rr ying out the work of the province and much credit is due ber for her wise direction of alumnre affairs.

When we regard the work our alumnae have accomplished in this first yur of the war, it is easy to see that Pi Beta Phi need fear no lessening in the strength of her alumnre organiution, but rather may be assured that from the crisis of these new and trying conditions Pi Beta Phi will emerge bettered and uplifted, and fully able to say "In the time of my country's need, I have justified my Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF DELTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Delta Province submits the following rep o rt :

Within the past if the national tax was paid and a don tion made to the sc hool. a club could be said to have completed a successful year. In the maj ority of cases the club's elltire time has been devoted to the Red Cross and other war interests. So Delta Province has been successful, with the exception of the Central Illino is Club from whom T have had no swccess in reeeivinganswers to my letters or cards. The South Dakota Club has had much to co nt end with, nev erthe less they have enthusiasm and sp lendid Pi Phi spirit.

Some of the club:. are attempting to encourage the Sett lement School children, as well as the grown-ups, to be indu s trious and depend on their natural resources, by the sale of things they are able to send di rect to them. The Springfield Cl ub is enthusiast ic over the beautiful holly sent up by the children. while the Peoria Club has been success ful in the sale of basket.. I have had the school fr om but half of the clubs pass through my hands and this hu am o unted t o $141.50, while some of the clubs have sent individual subscriptions and the Monmouth Club has scnt books.

A Grand Pre side nt dissatisfied with the ruling of the executive committee may. if she believes th at a wrong precedent i. being established, take the general principle of the case befo re the congress as a wh ole, and the c ongress will rule on the poi nt of precedent. The decisio n of the executive committee is final, however. in the case in q u es ti on .

The voting power of the congress was cha ng ed from the undemocratic and unpr og ressive nnanimous vote wh ic h h as heretofore been demanded, and made to conform to parliamentary procedure. Th e v ote of the eighteen Grand Presidents is still n ecessary to pus any pitce of legislation. To this extent the undem oc rati c min ori ty rule still prevails.

Tht following important rulings binding upon all fraternities were passed by the congres,.

1. No chapter of any Nation3.1 Panhelleni c Cong re ss fraternity shall have powe r to withdraw from a college P an hellenic.

2. The withdrawal of any chapter of a National Panhellenic fraternity from • college P anhe llen ic sh all ca ncel the membership o f the fraternity involved, in National Panh ellenic and place its chapters in every co llege on the basis of local frat ernit ies in all college Pan hellenic matters, providing that the nati on a l fraternity conce rned does not require its c ha pte r to r et urn to Pan h ellenic at once, four weeks from the date of supposed withdrawal being the maximum time allowed f o r the fraternity to adjust the sit u ation.

3. Each college Panhell enic shall keep on file with the ch3.ir man of National Panhell e nic the nam es and addresses of its president and secretary.

4. Patronesses, alumnre, and pledges are bound by rushing rules.

5. The proof of a girl's being pledged shall be a dated, writt on statement, signed by the pledge nnd witntssed by a member of the chapte r. In the case of its own pledges Pi Beta Phi re qui res th at the witness co untersigning the pled,e be either the president or the sec ret a ry of the l oca l cha.pte r.

6. AU cases of r e leased or brol.en pledges shall be r eported t o the college Panhellenic.

Other national rulings adopt ed by former N. P. C- cong resses and equally binding upon all fraternities are as foll ows:

I. No student shall be a sked to join a fraternity before she has matricula.ted (1903-04)

:3. Matriculation day shan be dtllntd as the day o f enrollment as a student in the university or college (1903-04).

3. A pledge day shall be ad op ted by the national frat er nities in each college where chapters of two or more fraternities exist (1904 -0 5).

4- Pledge day in each co llege shaU be fixed by the Pan hellenic Associarion existing there (1904-oS).

5. Students in a un iversity summe r school are ineligib le for fraternity pltdging (1910).

6. A pledge sban expire at th e end o f one calen da r year (1913).

, A g i rl who breaks a pledge with o r re s igns from a National Panhel1enic ConiTe5s fraternity sball not be asked to join another National P an be11enic Conercss fratern ity for one calendar year (1915).

8. After January, 1916. no girl who becomes a member of an organizatio n bearing a Greek name , ca lled a fraternity o r soro rity. shan be eliribJe to a

IU!I'ORTS OF COMMITTEES;

National Panhellenic {raterDlly. Thi s is exclusive of junior college or profelsional fraternitics (1915).

9. LiftiDg is discountenanced (1902).

In the college years J9 15 '16 and 1916.17. Pi Btla Phi encountered an ..Iarmingly large Dumber of difficulties in college Panhellenics. In the college year just concluded difficulties WCI"C encouragingly few. A detailed examination of the cases in which difficultiu have arisen in th e interim of conventions clearly emphasi%.cs the {act that the roots of the dillicultlcs have most frequently lain in the ignorance or the disregard of binding National P an hellenic rulings. Pi Hela l ' b ; urg es upon all c ha p t ers the <.obliglltion of familiarizing every member with the national Jaw s, and the duty of regulating chapter conduct in accordance with them. It is suggested that the national rulings be printed each year in the constitution of the college Panh elleuic. The fraternity recommend s that the c hapters tak e a stand for the adoption of the parliamentary vote in colle i e PanhdleniCl> in place of the un democratic unanimous vote.

Above all. Pi Beta Phi admonishes each chapte r to adopt the broad viewpoint, to discou r age the wasting of valuable time upon the petty details of ru shin&, cont r acts, and to strive with ail its energy t o make the college Panhellenic a constructive force for the advancement of the be s t interests of the colle ge and of ilS student life.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF FELLOWSHIP FUND COMMITTEE

The Chairman of the Fellowship Fund Committee submits the foll o wing report to the Grand Council and convention assembled:

Since its appointment in March, 1916, the F e llow s hip Fund Committee holS endeavored to do two things: to arouse interest in the gnduate fellowship a nd th e advisability of its maintenance by suggesting specia l programs to clubs and chapters ; by sending them mimeographed letters from former holders; by questions in the annual examination pape r, etc. Secondly, to collect funds from clubs and chapte r s to endow the fellowship. The vs.r1 0us methods used have appeared in former reports.

This past year the committee has done little aggressive work. In Sept embe r the chairman sent letters to all members urging tlrat the matter be kept before clubs a.nd chapters but in s uc h a way as to show that the committee felt that the Settlement School and the specia l war demands were of greater importance. During the year one member of the com mittee ha s marr ied and moved away {rom h er province; one has been called So uth on Account of illn ess in the family and ODe ha.g r eplied to no cdmmunication at all. In only two provinces has there been general re s ponse. Mar tha Gray and Gamma Provin ce have distinguished themselves. As u s ual Beta Province and Adela i de Rothert have "done themselves proud." It shows what can be done even in war time.

REPORT OF THE COMMITIEE ON EXTENSION TO THE TWENTY FOURTH BIENNIAL CONVENTION

Since the lut convention this committ« has been in cor r espondence with 32 groups and has investigated two colleges as possib le ope nings for Pi Beta Phi. One of the colleges does Dot admit frattm i tie s, the other bad not s ufficient material for another (raternity.

Of the groups, S have been granted charten: those i n University o( Southern California, University o( Arizona, Oregon College o f Agriculture, Southtrn Methodist University at Dallas, Tex as , and Hollins College, Virginia.

Th i rteen have withdrawn (or vari o us reas ons or merely asked preliminary Questions, 7 are still being investigated or considered, and 4 are presenting petitions to convention. These 4 are liThe Di.nlbian," of University o( Pittsburgh, Pittsb urgh, Pa.; " The Circle," University o( Wut Virginia, Mo rgantown, W Va.; "Beta Phi," Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.; l'Chi Epsilon" of Beloit College, Wisconsin.

We have formulated some new working plans for the co mmittee , approved by Grand Council, which are on exhibition, so that you may all have a cleare r idea of the amount of work t o be done in connection with ex tens io n.

Since Grand Council intends that the Extension Committee shan hav e more authority, it is essential that the chapters und e rstand the methods so that com· mittee and chapters many work tog e th er understandingly and therefore harmo· niously.

Copies of all of the blank s will be se nt in the fall to the c hapters and the new officers to be placed on fil e (or refere n ce.

The exten sion map, the various hlanks, and this report we respectfully submit (or your consideration.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EXAMINATION FOR 1917 ' 1918

The Chairman of the Committee on Fraternity Examinations begs to submit the following report:

A number of changes have been made in the examination committee during the past year Miss Nellie \VallbaDk wh o was a most efficient chairman reo signed fo accept a position in Re d Cross work in her h ome county. Th e present c hairman was appointed in her place.

Other changes were made. as Edith Baker, Oema Harshbarger, and Marie Hammond foond it impossible to serve a third leon on the committee. Helen Richardson was ap?Ointed examiner for Alpha Provin ce, Florentine Cook for Gamma Province, Florence Schee (or Delta Provin ce, Lottie Burnap Eaton a section of Epsilon Province , and Winona Bassett , Eta Province.

The examination followed closely the one u sed last year, planned by Mis. Wallb a nk In st ru ctions were publilhed in the Bulletin informing the chaplers

u to the material to be used in prepatin, for the examination, and the examiners wrote personal letters urging all chapters to p r epare s ystematically,

The present plan is to require definite info rmation, study 10 be based on the Constitution and the Statutes, lat es t Secret ARROW and the Hi s tory of Pi Deta Phi.

Every alumn!l has at some time met a sister Pi Phi who knew nothing of her fraternity save the one fact that she wore the coveted arrow over h e r he a rt :\J\d belonged to a n Alpha, B('13, o r Gamma Chapter.

Th is conditio n has been helped by the requir emen t whi ch forc es (the term is used advisedly) every active member o f the frnte rnity to take the examination.

Serious objections have been registered against every examination given since the fir s t one, down to and in cl u ding the present eX3.mination. It has alw3ys been 50, it is so now, but we feel it i s not heyonel the pos s ibilities to l oo k forward to a day when the chapter will cease to complain and will be proud to have every member on the Honor Roll.

II is a plea s ure to report that the spirit is even now undergoing a c hange. The girls feel that Ihe examination is too long and difficult, but few w ould banis h the examinatil)n

The thinking girls of all chapters adm i t th e necessity of educa ting members in frat e rnity matters.

What would we think of a college girl who could not give at Ii moment's notice the outst811ding fa cts about her co llege in scholarship. st udent activities, camp u s life. etc? The same r easoning may be applied to the fraternity girl.

We frequently hear the objection, lOWe have to c ram fo r the ex:amin3.tion and then forget it all IlS soon as it is O\'er, until time to cram for the next one." Apply that same method to college exnminations. What would r es ult from cra mming ror an examination, for inst:mce in hi s tory, without having studied the subject previously

A word to the wise is sufficient. A systematic plan of stud y for the examina · tion s ho uld be developed by every c hapter I f one o r tw o Questions from th e previous examination could be discussed at eVHy meeting. it s h ould not take more than ::J. rew minutes and it would do away with many heada c hes caused by midnight crl\mming.

It has been suggested that the examination might be divided, o ne sho rt one in the fall, and a second in the spring. Th is pilln is not possible. The work or the co mmittee wo uld be nearly double. As it is now, the examiners hav e great difficulty in securing the re quired information in time to make their report s. (The chai rman re ceived the las t necessary de tails two days si n ce, for this report.)

One examiner found it ne cessary to write several letters and then sent a specisl delivery letter , before she r «eh'ed an answer A s penalty, said chapler was cut down five points. An othe r examiner wrote r epeatedly to one of her chapters and th en wired at th ei r expense. Th ese we re extreme cases

Many chapters answered letters immediately and cooperated pe rf ectly w ith the examiners.

The freshmen are at a disadvantage but it is a fact that they generally make fine grades. while the j uni Or! frequently make th e poorest gt:ldes and occasio nally a se ni o r makes a low grade. r ests on her laurels uas it were ."

If the time were n o t so limit ed we co uld cite many instances of perfection '15 well as the opposite, but we must refrain.

Suffice it to say that we have more girls on the Honor Roll than ever before.

The highest ch:tpte r average m3de thi s year wss 1}6.5. the second was 96.2. But it is with the d eepe st regret we report the lowest aveuge 75.3. The c ha pter mllking this grade ha.s been urged repeatedly during the past three ye.u s to redeem her re cord. but w i th o ltt .... ail.

The following q ue s ti on was to be ansW'ered by eYery member: , "If annual dues of So cents or $1.00 from every alumna would pay every expense and obligat-ion, ctoinr away with calls for small voluntsry (except in

REPORTS OF COMMITTEEi

cues of .lumnlr club contributions to the School), would you vote (or such a tax if you were a delegate to convention? Why?

This question was sDswered in the affirmative by a very large majority. Many splendid answers in tbe affirmative were eivtn. A few negative ODes were made. However. those made were very e:ood and were the result of deep thought.

The committee agree. with the girls, the examination is too 10D" and they b.ve 5incerely cndeavored to make it sho rter, but Pi Beta Phis need to learn 10 many tbing. about their wonderful fraternity that it is difficult to sho rt en the examination.

A few answtn will show the need of correct knowledge:

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON THE UNDERGRADUATE LOAN FUND

The Chai rm a. o of the Committee on th e Undergraduate Lonn Fund begs leave to submit the following report : FINANCIAL STATEMENT FROM JULY, 1915 TO JULY, 1918

LoANS :

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES II

In additi on to routine work, the Committee on the Loan Fund bal endeavored to act as its publicity bateau. Our field has been I»tb among the .Iumote and chapter &irls W ith the (ormer, we aimed to awakeD interest and gain support ; to the latter, we wisbed to present the opportunities of the Loan Fund.

Three Itries of letters have been mailed to each dub, stating our (uncti on and the increasing demand. upon our small fund. THe Auow. the Bwl/d i" and the F,,4Jer"ity EXDmj"atio" have .11 Itrved us well. One note begged each club to give the Loan Fund place on their Founders' nay prorram; another, directed to tbe active chaptcri. requested them to include paragraph co ncerning the (und in their anoual letter to .lumole.

From this c&mpailll which. in the main, was pluued at co mmitt ee meeting held in BOlton, at the home of Mn Babcoek, January, 1916 contributions have been received from five individual., nine dubs, and one active chapter. The active chapter (New York f) deserves .p«ial commendation. $13 wu con · tributed, each chapteT member donating cents a semester.

At the 1915 convention our Alumnae Department voted us per year . The Convetduul Daily co ntributed a liberal gift. Consequ ently during the last three yean we have been enabled to make fourteen loans. amounting to $1,105 in comparilOD with the same number of loans but amounting to only $t,ooo, made during the five years before 1915.

Since Ju ly, 1915. $425 previously loaned has been repaid , furnishing ample proof that th e loans met with appreciation and due settlement.

We regret thnt no member of the committtee can be present at convention. As a final word we beg each delegate to bear a message to her chapter. A sk them to learn what the Loan Fund has done and what it h opes to do Support it if you can But do not fail to tell the girl who does not know how she is to meet ber college expenses that Pi Phis have a fund which cao help her. She c an borrow from it if she asks in time. \Vrit e to the chairman for particulars.

Alumnae: We thank you for the cooperation o f the past . We beg for your continued support. College expenses arc heavier than ever before and the need for college trained women is greater. Througb your generosity our fund has been doubled but the demands have been correspondingly in c reased. That we may still farther enlarge o ur field of servi c e. aga in. we beg y o ur continued interest, cooperation, and support.

Respectfully s ubmitted, J&NNII L. ROWELL, CAaj,.ma".

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

The Chairman of th e Committee on Chaperons submits the following report : Very few requests for help in finding chaperons have come to the com· mittee this yeu, local alumnlle having been able to discover the right person for mosl chaplers where there was a vacancy.

The Committee has in hand the names of a dozen or more wom en who have applied for such positions. These: women are most hi,hly recomm ended, usually by Pi Bela Phi l, ba t with two exceptions, are not themselves members of the fraternity. There Sf:ems to be • growing demand for a "Pi Plti chaperon," and prefen. bly a yOt4I1Z one.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

While the &dvaDtacel of such a combination are undoubtedly many. yet the opportunity for association with motherly women of wide experience and mature yean is .1$0 valuable, and should not be overlooked by our girh. We regret being unable to place every person on our lin, yet. I suppose, the purpose of this committee i, to aid the Craternity rather than the individual lecking employment.

Any suggestions will be gladly received.

Respectfully submitted, Erna CHIJSTB PATCH.

REPORT OF ARROW FILE COMMITTEE

All chapter files are complete far a. i t bas been possible to complete them. The volumes before volume '7 (lQOO-IC)OI) are hard to procure. All but to chapters have files complete (rom the date of the {oundinr of the chapter, and it leems unlikely thai lhese can be completed. Six: chapten with complete files have not had all volumes bound, but duriog' the put year with its many demands for war work, it has not seemed advisable to insist on binding.

Respectfully submitted, O.l:UA CONCER, C/uJjrman.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SCHOLARSHIP

Calendar Year 1917

The Chairman of the Committee on Scholarship submit. the following report:

Owing to the fact that the number of institutions which are unable before September to furnish statistic. regarding the ICholars hip of fraternity chapters for the second semester, is each year increasing, and to the fact that any report on tbe scholarship of Pi Beta Phi for the coUele year would consequently be very incomplete, the committee has adopted the plan of presenting a report for the calendar nthl!!:r than for thl!!: collegl!!: year . The followin& report for the year 1917 co'oters the second semeste r of thl!!: college year 1916-11, givinl rank. and averages for the entire year, and the first seme.ter of tbe year 1917'1918. Except for the report for the second semester from Indiana B, which is delinq uent , all statistics for the year 1916 -19 17 are complete. The fraternity average for the year is 1.238. Beta Province, with a grade of 1 502, i. sgain far in the lead of all the provinces It has the honor of having the two chapters ranking highest in the fraternity, Pennsyivaoi-s B with a grade of 1.889 and Florida A with a grade uf 1.665. Its l owest chapter r anks seventeenth among the chapters of Pi Beta Pbi, and the remaining foor, fourth, eighth, ninth. and thirteenth. The grades of Gamma, Delta. and Eta Province. are very close, Gamma, with a grade of 1.294, ranking second; Delta with 1.267 r anking third; and Eta with 1.250, fourth. Zeta with a grade of 1.147 ranks fifth; Epsilon with 1.143 , sixth i and Alpha with 1.066, seventh. The ranking chapters are in Alpha. Vermont B, 1.233; in Gamma, Ohio A. I"OS; i)l. Delta, Illinois B, 1-487. with IUinois A, I.4B6, a close s«:ond; in EIMilol!l, ]owa A and Kansas A .ach with. • arade of t.33J; in Zeta, Wyomina A, %•.382; iz Eta. Wuhieaton B. 1. 399.

One lIalf of the ellapteu maintain&d in 1916-1917 • hi " stallodard of scholanhip than that which they had won the previous year.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

record. lost .208 poiDts and dropped from second place to ninth; and Vermont A fell .205 point •.

31 • % of the cbapters of the fraternity maintained an cxceptt-onaUy high .tandard of scholarship; a higb standard; 25.5% satisfaclory average grade; and 2S So/", a grade which is neither a credit to Pi Beta Pbi Dor to the fraternity 'ystem.

The statistics for the first semeste r of the college year 1917-1918 are complete except for the r eport from Ontado A which is Mver available ontil the clost o f the year; that for Virginia A, whi ch can not be obtained until September; and that {or Illinoi s Z. which was lost in the mails. Four new c hapters appear for the first time in the schola r ship report and take places which should be noted by the entire fraternity. Virginia B takes sixt h place among Pi Beta PhPs chapters with a grade of 1.41:1; Arizona A, sennth place with a gTade o f 1.37:1; Ca lifornia r, tenth place with a grade of 1.328; and Oregon B, e leventh place w i th a grade of 1.325. That the scholarship test has been applied to petitioning groups is clearly evident. It would be well for a number of l ongestablished ch apters to take stock of themselves and to face .quarely the undeniable fact that were they today petitioning for charters from Pi Beta Phi their cases would be hopeless until such time a. they could show records of scholarship entirely worthy of the approval of the fraternity and of college aut}lorities.

For the first semester of :QI7-1918 the fraternity avenge wa. 1.2:34, .014 points lower than that of the preceding year. Beta Province aeain ranked first, with a grade of 1-41Q, a loss of .051 points; Delta, second .ith 1.2", a loss of .011 points; Eta, tb ird with 1 244, a l o ss of .0:1 points; Zeta, fourth with 1.209, a gain of .001 points; Camma. fifth with 1.160, a 1011 of . 139; Alpha, sixth with t.ISO, a gain of .068; and Epsilon, seve nth with 1 .110, a 1055 of .OS7. It should be carefully noted that five of the seven provinces lowered their standa rd s. In Beta, the ranking chapter, Penn sylvania B, whi ch sin ce 1913 has led the entire fraternity in scholanhip and which l ast year had a gTlde of 1.889 dropped to I.680 and has yielded first place to Florida A, with a grade of L1Qt. Othe r h igh ranks won by the province are Virginia. B, lixth; Pennsylvania r, fourteenth; and Columbia A. fifteenth. In Alpha. Province, which hu made a distinet gain and worked oot of seventh place, N ew York r, grade 1.:144. is the ranking chapte r; in Gamma, Indiana A, grad e 1.243 In Delta., Illinois R ruks first with a grade of 1.5.0, l1linois 6, second with 1 • 26, and Wisc onsin A, third with t.366. In Epsilon first rank is held by 1( ans88 A with 1.25:3. Epsilon's gr ades are conspic uously low, tb 'ose of six of it. twel ve cbapters falling betow Pi Beta Phi standard. In Zeta, Wyoming A. is far in the lead. with a grade of 1.668 and th i rd rank among the chapters of the fraternity; Colorado B is second with a grade of t .307. Betwen tlle. chapters and the rest there is a lTeal cap . Oklahoma A. rankinc tbird with a grade of 1 131 and the othe r all falling below 1.100. In Eta Pronnce Arnona A. a new chapler leads with a grade of 1 37:1; Wash ington B is a close MeOnd with 1.366; and California r with 1.338 and Oregon B with ]0325 take third and fourth placet.

Of fifty-one chapters (four of the fifty·fi.ve having been chartered in 19171913) Hlnnte.a have mad. gains in scholarsh i p siace 1916--1917, two hI..,.. maiD· talned exac tly the lame standard; twenty·.ight have lost gTound. -and for foor statistics for comparison are not available. Of the gains, those of Wyominl' A • .26, points. and of Virginia .A •• 178 paiau, an the most noteworthy. Both c:hapters hay. atwa}'l taken high rank . Among the 10lSes sustained those in ten cues are beavy: Penns ylyania r , -403 ; Maryland A., 39:1; Indiana A , .388 ; Washington A, .:193 ; Penn sylvania D, .270; Mi sso uri B, .175 ; Indiana r • .13.; Oregon A, .133; Louisiana A •. 131; and Penn sy lvania A • . 116 . ,. .8 % of an chapters have mainta ined an excellent standard of scllolarship ; 1.·5%, a high st&.Ddard; 32 . 19'0, a 5ati5faatory average standard; 25.5". a low !l tandard: (or 5.5% statisties are not yet available. AU chapters whOle l1'ades

III. CHAPTER W OR K Since 1915 the college year hal conlisted of l ix month s of lect ures followed by one month of work. The amount of work to be done has not been proportionately les se ned and the faculty has considerably raised the standard of marking in the finals. These (ac ts co mbined with the unsettled condition of the college. the depletion of the staff by enlistment , and the many war ·time call i on the time and energy of the girls, have put many difficulties in th e way of -achieving high scholarship . Each girl, however, bas done her best, often under adverse circumstances. The scholarship com· mittee, with a representative in each year, looks after Ihe girls' s tanding and there is a spirit of willing h elpfulness thr o ughout the chapter.

IV. \V AR RELlEF WmtK During the last four years war work has taken the plac e of all other philanthropic work in our chapter as a whole.

RE P ORT C O NCERNING GATLINBUR G

BO YS I N S E RV I C E

Wh en the Grand Council asked me last fall to take charge of the work of the clubs looking after our Gatlinburg boys in the army, I did so gladly, because so many of the boys are kn own to me and I realize their needs.

I wrote to Mr . Prickett for a list of name s which has been revised and now we have fourteen boys from Ollf comm un ity. Ou r people down there are slow and not very sure and it h as taken time and postage to keep in tou ch with th e boys and even so, th e whereabouts of onc has been lost and one has n ever been found.

I sent two stamped and self-add r essed postcards to each boy and had ve r y pro m pt repli es a nd I have had l et ter s of thanks from many of them after they received pa ckages from clubs.

Twelve clubs adopted boys, two clubs sent articles to me to send out, and six other clubs asked for a boy. Not ODC club refused to take one.

My thought was that perhaps at convention we could find new "mothers" for the boys, thus distributing the work, but up on writing the clubs to ask their opinion as to carrying on the work another year they all approved of the plan and, in nearly e"e ry case, asked to keep their boy .

This year the clubs report to me the sending of all lc.inds of knitted goods, things to eat, many little useful gifts, smileage books, and some letters.

On ce th ey go "over th e re" we ca n send on ly first class mail. Some of our co mmunity boys a re already there. One soldie r of the Rainbow Division told me that II most soldiers have enough to eat and wear over there but one wh o goes many days without a l e tt er is a most unhappy soldier." I hope as long as there is a Sevier Country boy in the war that he will hear from some Pi Phi.

WORDS OF APPRECIATION

I understand that the present plan of the Red Cross is to have all things for all soldiers come through them) but no doubt we can all find some way to bring joy to our Settlement School boys.

I want to thank all the clubs for their very wonderful cooperation and their prompt response to all of my appeals.

I had hoped to be able to present this report in person at convention and also to talk Sett!ement Sch ool, but illness kept me from attending.

July 20,1918.

I do not know where this particular note can be inserted in the secret number of THE ARROW, but please put it somewhere, for it is the only possible way by which to reach everyone who had a share in giving to me, as a parting gift from the fraternity, the beautiful little watch marked Pi Beta Phi, 1918. I appreciate the feeling that prompted the gift more than I can say and the watch will remain through the years to COme as the tangible evidence of that spirit of loyalty and cooperation , which has made the fraternity work of the past ten years a period of real joy, not alone in the inception but in the carrying out as well.

bility ha\'e attended the office, but the spi r it of harmony and the to serve the fraternity and Council members on the part of alumnre and a ctive gi rls have compensated for everything .

At the close of ten years and a half of active service] can truthfully say that I have a stronge r faith in the college fraternity woman than e\'cr befo rc. Never yet has she failed to m eet big issues in the right way . [n the future it will be my privilege to assist at all times whenever or wh erev er needed, and my best wish for my successor, Anna Lytl e Tannahill, is that she may be as happy in every fraternity relationship as I have been.

Once more my sincere thanks for the parting gift, which shall ever r em a in w i th me as a n exp r ession of the l ove and esteem of the frater· nity.

Very co rd ially yours,

MAY L KELLER

The Cataloguer desires to express to the fraternity her sincere thanks for the generous gift presented to her last June in Charlevoix by the convention there assembled. The hard work put upon the directory was more than repaid by the kind words of appreciation from those in attendance at convention, and this tangible token of appreciatio n, in fonn of the so·called Clbirthday cake" was rather overwhelming, and left the Cataloguer powerless to respond ade· quately t o th e gift as presented by our Grand Presid en t Emerit u s. She theref ore tak es th is opportunity to present her thanks, and renew he r pledge of l oya lty to th e frat ernity

When ou r chairman reque!lled me to go to Gatlinburg for the open· ing of the Settlement School in August, little did I suspect th at the particular date selected was to fall in one of the hottest weeks not of this summer, but of any summe r. Such was the case, however, and from torri d, sweltering Knoxville I journeyed 011 the K . S. and E. to JUSt as h ot a climate in Sevierville . W a r conditions have penetr ated. t o eve n this rem ote section, for we were sidet r acked in a co m field to l et a frei g ht with lum be r pass ou r two coach passenge r train. At the familiar sound I r ealized that there was no escape anywhe r e.

An automobile is now run by the posloffice department between Sevierville and Gatlinburg, so afte r b r eakfas t at 6 :30, M iss Bishop and I departed [o r Gatlinburg in a trusty Ford with the local mail carrier . As far as Pigeon Forge all seemed changed; we r an at high speed al ong a good high r oad, but as soon as we l ef t Pi geon Forge all the old f am iliar bumps r eappeared, the wheels hung ove r the edges of precip ices, and we bou n ced around in the good old way I remembered so well on former trips

Arriving at the outs kirts of Gatlinburg, however, I was asto nished at th e imposing r ow of schoo l bui lding s The sites have been well chosen, and Mrs. H elmi c k achieved sp l e n did success in the building o f the teachers' cot ta ge. It is comfo rta ble with a l arge po r ch on whi ch the Pricketts have placed p or c h boxes, which afe filled with growing plants and trailin g vines and from which a wonderful view of mountain peaks is obtained. 'I' h e furniture s uit s the rustic cha ra cte r of th e whole, and the big firep la ce gi ves the last needed t o u ch to mak e it homelike. The glory of th e cottage and indeed of th e wh ole r eg ion round, however, is neither porch, fir ep la ce, piano, nor view, but a bathroom with running water, sight unheard of and undreamed o f in this place so near to n a ture's h ea rt, where the littl e Pigeon has so long furnish ed the onl y runnin g water and the pines, the and the laurel protec tin g walls.

building is being erected. Squire Maples was too busy with threshing to COme to the opening of school, and so was Mr. Huff, due to the demands of his new hotel where many people come now from Sevierville and Knoxv i lle for the bass and trout fishing. Mr. Stev e Whaley has sold his place and Professor Watson of the University of Tennessee is shipping 4,000 bushels of wo nderful apples from that place this year. On Qur school grou nds stands a splendid field of corn, of which we are half owners, and a garden will provide many things for the Pi Phi teachers' table. For the first time this summer we are raising corn, vegetables, and chickens on shares with Marshall Ogle, and we are seriously co ntempl ating also, oh speak it gently, the rai sing of pig, plain pig. Mrs. Helmick's dream of a partially self-supporting school may some day be realized.

The opening of school had to be postponed a week , due to a revival which was being conducted by Mr. Tom Sexton, the blacksmith preacher. The nights were hot, but we valiantly attended, sought out a place by the open win dow, a nd gasped for breath until th e moulner's bench was full and we went forward to shake their hands a nd help them come thr ough. This week brought me into close touch with the people, and Mr. Prickett took me ove r the mountains on a day with the at 102 degrees in the shade to see a number mOre of them, so that r had an excellent opportunity to meet the people as a whole. I also visited Mattie Ogle's little school up Bearskins or Baskins Creek, and saw her putting in practice what she had learned at the Pi Ph i School.

On Monday morning at nine o'clock the Reverend Sexton, accompanied by Mr. Wat so n a nd a number of residents of Gatlinburg, climbed the hill for the opening of exercises of the school. Mr. Sext on gave us a ta lk on Truth, 1\1r. W atso n read the twenty-third Psalm, and Mr. Prickett and Miss Bishop both gave short talks on what the school hoped to accomplish this year. I spo ke for the fraternity, and then the children sang the Pi Phi welcome song. Mr. Prickett conduc ted the exercises, and as the childre n came marching in by and as their voi ces rang out in Aly Country ITis of Thu} The Slar Spangl cd Banntr, and America thl B lat/ti /ul , I thought of the days when all the songs they knew were the old, old hymns, mostly written f or revival services and all sung from shaped no tes .

Many families are planning to have the children take music lesson. from Miss Bishop) so you see Gatlinburg is growing progressive.

The teachers this year are Mr. and Mrs. Prickett, Miss Emily Burton, and Miss Evelyn Bishop as our Pi Phi head resident. They an; living in the teachers' cottage with Baby Prickett (aged e ig ht months) who is bein g well looked after during schoo l hours by Aunt Lizzie Reagan, who is a grandm othe r many times over, but who has com e to look after the Pi Phi cottage this winter and especially the baby. This releases the old cottage for dormi tory purposes, and a lready two boys had a r rived as boarders whe n I left. Thus is rea lized another of Mrs. H elmi ck's and Miss Turner's dreams. The numbe r of boarde rs will undoubtedly increase and we will need besides a hospital and a gir l s' donnito ry.

This is a very inadequate glimpse of school affairs, but will give you, perhaps, a s li ght idea of the changes and improvements that are co nstantly taking place at the school. I am unable to state the number of chil dren in school, since the revival prevented many fr om attending the first day (services run from 10-12 :30 A. M., 2 - 5 P. M. and fr om 8-10 P. M.), and many of the older boys were still working in the fields and at lum ber camps, but the small chi ldren were very mu( h in evidence. The school has a number of representa tives at the front, for the mountain boys nearly all answered the co untry's call as volunteers. We are pa rti c ularly f ortunate in having secured the servi ces of Miss Evelyn Bishop for this year, as she is g reatly beloved by o ur m ountain friends. As Mr . Huff said, "I have been wanting her for several years. I am so glad s he h as come." We are glad too, and I believe there is g reat promise for g row th and development this year under our new head resi dent's guiding hand, and with the helpful cooperation of th e ent ire co rps of interested, enthusiastic teachers.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

EDITORIALS

WAR which loomed so large on the horizon a year ago is shadowing all phases of our nationa l life today and the college yea r 1918-19 starts on a very different basis from the scholastic year 1917 - 18 . Last year military training was a novelty o n every college campus and en rollm ent in su ch cou r ses was often enti rely voluntary. This year practically every college man is a member of the U. S. Army se rving his tim e on campus and in classroom instead of in training camp or cantonment· merely because the Government r ecognizes that his increased education win be an asset to the nation.

Last year, co ns er vation in gene r al and of food in particular, with the making of surgical dressings, the support of studen t friendship funds, etc., was a novelty toO. The majority of students cou ld remember a very different college atmosphe r e and the war clouds were not yet heavy enough to obscure the memories. But we make history so rapidly these days that it is hard to recall sometimes just how we did things before the war and the stern tasks of tOday grow more vivid as the months go by.

If the:: men are going t o college this fall with a new purpose, so the girls are entering with a wider vision of usefulness than ever before. Parents are spending m o ney to educate their daughters in these strenuous times more freely than previously because they r ealize that the woman of tomorrow must be equipped as the woman of the past never has been to meet the r esponsibilities of the New Day which is dawning. Under these new conditi ons what can Pi Phis do as individuals and as chapte r s to help win the war and hasten the new ' era of ri ghteo usness and peace?

Five different answers to this question come to mind at once.

First, every Pi Phi can be a student. In the final analysis this is an individual matter but the faithful accomplishment of this duty will react on the chapter. Read the scholarship report aloud in an early chapter meeting. I f your chapter is in the class r epresented by the 25 % of the chapter roll which does not maintain a scholastic standard creditable to the fraternity , get busy at once. Find out the reas on why. Let every girl feel her r esponsibility. If, as the Chairman of the Scholarship Committee suggests, you are carrying too many h ours of work redu ce you sc hedule so that you can do justice to yourself and to you r chapter. If your re co rd is c r editable, see that you maintain it this year. How will this help win the war? By adding

to the number of women equipped for the tremendous tasks ahead by reason of their varied knowledge, definite habits of study , and ability to acquire and use information scientifically. Uncle Sam can use any numbe r of such women but he is already finding that the untrained woman only clogs t he machinery.

Second, t!'1Iery Pi Phi can join th e Red Crots. I almost said every Pi Phi must join the Red C ross and would that it were a f r ate rnit y r eq uir emen t. Read the de legates' r eports of chapte r life and work in this issue. The war efforts of the chapter s 3 r e inspiring but after all mu c h remains t o be done when on l y 2 7 % of the chapte r s show complete Red C r oss membership Every chapte r cannot have a service fla g i n its window but each one can and should hang the Red Cross ban ner the r e with the 100'}'0 sign u nderneath it. No othe r r eco rd will suffi ce. Pi Phi's example in this r espect will go far towards st r ength eni n g the national morale without which we cannot hope to win the war.

Third , every Pi Phi can buy Liberty B Oflds and War Savings Stamps. The custom started by Texas A last spring of buying bonds and giving them to the Settlement School Endowment Fund is one which every chapter ca n observe and the money will be twice blessed, it will h elp win th e war and it will help train future citizens for the r eco nstru ction p eri od whose problems 100 m ever larger and la r ge r before us.

Fourth, every Pi Phi ca n be loy al in 'Wo rd and dud. Time was when pacificism and even pro-Germanism were allowable but that tim e is long past. N o di sl oyal w o rd o r act should be tolerated in a Pi Phi chapter and the organizations s hould demand the cooperatio n o f each individual in whatever .forms of war work are agreed upon. The enthusiastic support of each m emb er is ne ed ed in order that the blood of Pi Phi fath ers, husbands , b r o th e rs , and sweethea rts sha ll not be spilled in vain.

Fifth, every Pi Phi can pray for vic t ory and r es p o nd to the request which has gone ou t fr om Washington for unit ed p r aye r s for our brave men . Every c hapter and club meeti ng can open with the salute t o the flag which th e co nvention assembled ga ve at Charlevoix, a nd follow the salute with one of the many beautiful prayers for victory whi ch are being iss ued for general use.

So the Pi Phi who studies diligently, becomes a daughter o f the HGreatest Mother of Us All ," invests her money patriotically, refrains

from dangerous gossip, proclaims her loyalty by word and deed on all occasions, and prays constant ly for victory, will prove herself worthy to dwell 'neath the flag which protects her and to wear the arrow whose significance she has sworn to cherish.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

So many req uest s have been received for another International Service number o f THE ARROW that the Editor plans for a second issue devoted to this most tim ely subject. The number of Pi Phis overseas is increasing daily. The success of this number depends entirely on the friends of the girls who are doing the un ique thing at home and of those overseas. I f y ou are receiving interesting lett ers from th ese war workers or are in touch with their families and have access to their home letters, please send the Editor extracts from these lettera for THE ARROW , together with a short account o f the writer, giving her full name , chapter, class nUD1eral, and a little account of her experiences before she entered war work.

The Editor has made arrangements with some of these workers per· son ally but she does not know them all and cannot get in touch with them. Please help her and THE ARR OW in thi s way. All contribu· tions should be written on one side of the paper only and typewritten when possible. Pictures are requested and photographs will be return ed after cuts are made. The use of pictures will be limited only by war prices which are indeterminate. All material for this number should be in the hands of the Editor by January I, 1919.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

As the work pertaining to the office of alumnre editor has grown to large proportions and a certain part of it is a duplication of the Cataloguer's la.bors, it has seemed best to Grand Council to try an experiment , for a time at least , and ask the cataloguer to perform those duties connected with the mailing list. Consequently, the work has been divided. Mrs. Allen, the recently appointed alumn", editor, has assumed charge of those tasks connected with the editing and publish· ing of alumne personals, club rep o rts, and items in THE ARROW. Miss Carpenter, the Cataloguer, has full respon sibili ty for the mailing list. All notic es of marriages and changes of address should be sent directly to her.

Mrs. Richardson, chairman of the Settlement School Committee, sends the following complete list of cha pters and o lubs which have reported to her the purchase of Liberty Bonds for the Settlement School Endowment Fund. The list includes only those which had sent it! bonds by Augu.rt I9I8: Iowa A, Louisiana A, Nebraska B, Kansas A, New York At Missouri A, Illinois A, Iowa B, Iowa r, Illinois E, Missouri B , Ohio A, Colorado B, Florida A, Lincoln Alumnre Club.

All gifts of money for the school are to be sent direct to Mrs. Richardson and those intending to give material or equipment are requested to consult Mrs . Richardson first to avoid duplication.

In this con nection it is interesting to note that the Puget Sound Alumnre Club failed to report in the JUDe ARROW the amount it had raised for the Settlement School, and as the amount was $300 it deserves recognition as the banner amount for the year .

Our magazine subscription agency needs support this year as never before . Each club is asked to have a representative to collect subscriptions and send the agency and each chapte r is obliged to do so by convention requirement. The October Bulletin will contain specific information in this regard and Miss Blanche G. Reisinger, 235 East Lafayette Avenue, Baltimore, Md., will receive subscriptions and answer communications regarding them.

The Queen of Roumania, a country which has especially suffered from the war, has asked the women of America in a personal appeal to collect odd bits of gold and silver, trinkets, l ead, and tinfoil for the benefit of the starving children of her enslaved country. Dorothy Spencer, Louisiana A, ' 15, is devoting her time to this particular war service and appeals to her fraternity siste rs to coope rate with her. Send collections to Miss Dorothy Spencer, 3222 Coliseum Street, New Orleans, La.

Notice the information concerning fraternity supplies on p. 163 . This list is published only once a year and each chapter is asked to check up its supplies and secure anything it may lack from the proper custodian.

It is now possible to publish alurnnre personals fou r times a year and this issue contains all news items which have been sent to the editors, since the June number.

APPEAL TO AMERICAN WOMEN BY HER MAJESTY QUEEN MARIE

OF ROUMANIA

A MESSAGE TO THE WOMEN OF AMERICA

Sin ce my co untry has especially suff ered from the war, I have had to put myself at t he head of many for m s of se rvi ce , especially for the o rp hans, for a woman in time of st r ess sho uld be able t o show th e way to her nation. Nowhere am 1 mo r ejsu r e of finding r eal sympathy and comp reh ension than among the American women, who have themse lv es played so nob le a part in the li fe of thei r co untry.

My Roumania has been called to dr ink to the very dregs the bitte rness of war. Not on ly hav e our brave men, to the number of some 200,000 given of their lives in battles, but also thei r homes and families, and especially the little chil dr e n have had t o pay the g r eate r price of continuing to live amid such hunger and co ld and sickness and need as are in comp reh ensible t o the women o f Am erica.

Our hearts are n ot d ism ayed) even though o ur bodies suffer c ruell y. Rourn ania will stand fast to the end, and 1 hope t hat the women of Ame rica will help me to keep the chj ldr en a liv e, for the g r eat Tom orr ow th at is coming to us all afte r the war.

Yoms in the Fellowship of the Mo th e r Hea rt,

MARIE "QUEEN OF ROUMANIA."

Dr . Stanculeanu of Bucharest, Rouman ia, was sent to America by his government to try and enlist th e sympathies of the American people in he l ping his co untry and especia lly the little c hildren. After his death in this count r y his work has been ca rried on by his wife, M adame Stanculeanu. They were in Bu cha r est at the time of the bomba rd ing of that ci ty and left JUSt before the Germans ente r ed. H er descriptions of the suffe rings of the refugees at Jassy a r e vivid and heartrending and they move us to do ou r best in giving assistance.

Roumania went into the war knowing the fates of Belgium and Serbia but she, t oo, had an ideal and she was willing to risk her all t o be on the side of r ight. We in Ameri ca have always been mo r e than willing to help those who need us and I hope we will n ot forget brave, proud Roumanja who is now under the heel of the unsc rupul o us Hun and whose little children are being made to suffer because their fathers were true to their idea ls.

APPEAL TO AMERICAN WOMEN

Capt. James A . Mills, who was secretary of the American Red Cross Commission to Roumania, says in the September Red Cross "Never co uld contributors to the Red C ross fund in the United States feel that their m oney was better given than among the starving women and children of Roumania."

Madame Stanculeanu appointed me head o f a com mittee in New Orleans when she was there last spring. OUT idea is not to ask for money because we all have so many demands made on us these days in giving to OUT own Red Cross, Y. M. C. A" Knights of Columbus, W. S. S., Liberty Loans, and endless other things which we want to help with , so we are a king for odd bits of gold and silver, jewelry, lead and tinfoil. \Ve sell the gold and silver, raffle the jewelry, send the lead and tinfoil to smelting plants and all money contributions are deposited in the Commercial Bank . When we have a sufficient sum we shall send it to the representative in New York and the credit is cabled to the Roumania.n Government.

Won't the Pi Beta Phis help us along with this splendid work? Please send all contributions to me at 3222 Coliseum Street, New Orleans, La., after Nov ember 15 , and until then to me, clc Howe, Fenner, Spencer, and Cocke, 708 Union Street, New Orleans.
