(;RAND PRESIDENT" MESSA(iE

The decade upon which Pi Beta Phi is now entering is one which may be termed that of internal development. By far the greater part of the It:!gislation passed a t the Charlevoix cOllvention had as its object the development of the chapter of the frate:rnity to a higher degree of efficiency. The adoption of scholarship and conduct requirements for initiation, the placing of the final date of initiation not later than two months hefare the close of the college year, the provisioll for annual visit:; of inspection by province presidents, and the djstricting of the fraternity into ten provinces of reasonable size, making p.ossib1e intensive work upon the part of province o ffi.cers , were all definite steps toward internal development. The reclistric6ng of the fraternity has l,een followed by an effective reorganizatiol1 of the three large standing committees, -·those dealing with fraternity study and examinations, ano the rai:·;jng of the p nnanent fellowship fund. Each now has in addition to its national chairman a special supervisor for each of the ten provinces. The results of the intensive work already made possible by this reorganization heen highly gratifying.

As a part of the machinery for intensive internal development an important nc,',r committee will next year take its place among the standing committees of the fraternity-the committee on survey and standardization. Tts work ;ill be to present to the chapters the qandards, along all which e,..· c f)' chapter of Pi Beta Phi shnul(l Teach, to make an annual !:\urvcy of every chapter, to submit its finding s to Grand Council and to the Province Presidents concernc(l anr.l to puhlish them in the annual information numher of the Armow. The members of this committee will be the Crand Secretary, the Chainnan of the Committee on Scholarship, and ()ne Clther fraternity officer , prr<::pnt or past. With this committee will co()perate the Cirand Council, the Pro"ince Presidents, and the

TJJE ARROIV OF PI BETA PHI

officers and ad\'isory boards of the chapters. The findings of this committee will cnahle every chapter to know wherein it is strong ano wherein weak and what rank is among the chapters of the fmtcrnity. It is probahle that the follm',;ing grouping of chapters will he made: (;roup I, Exceptionally strong- i Group II, Ahove the average; Group III, Average j Group IV, Be10w fhe average; Group V. Exceptionally weak. It is helieved that if a c1ear program setting forth the definite goals toward which chapters should strive is presented and if definite account is taken eac.h year of every chapter's mea.sure of achievement, all chapters will gain the national vision and a strengthening of the entire organization will he the inevitahle result.

In these days of reconstructi(ln after the great world war fratermt.les nn less than all other organizations must keep pace with the spirit of the time and must accept the new watch-words, true democracy and service, They must cease heing seH-centered and must come to the full realization that as organized groups having special privilege they :lIso special responsibility i.n the college worlo. They must place college before fraternity, must foster scholarship, must take their place ali recognized working for all that is best and most wholesome in student life. The prohlem of the chapters is to prove to the c.olleges and universities of America that because of their group organization and their connection with strong nationals of high ideals and programs of service, they make a definite t':ontribution to the life of the institution that could not be made by the same number of individuals not so organized and so influenced. They must so regulate their activities that they not only do not create problems in institutions but that they render real service.

The wave of new democrar.y which is sweeping over the country is unfortunately not without its extremes, In the coHege world, as wel1 as elsewhere, has arisen a radical element determined upon the complete overthrowal of the old order, particularly if it represents in war special privilege. The fraternity system is today being assailed as never before. It is, in fact, on trial for its very life. Recent advices give warning- that the question of abolishing fraternities will corne hefore a numher of state legislatures next year and the year following. In several i.nstitutions in which Pi Beta Phi is represented serious anti-fraternity agitation In Randolph-:\iacon there is suit)Us trouble. has already arisen. At Gou,her there is

Ieviden ce that t he old agitation may be revived. At Swarthmore the sit ua tion is e xceedingly critical and t e fate of fraternit i es hang ing in the ba lance. At ewcomb an absolute crisis has been r eached A ll na tional fr aternities r epresented , upon appeal f rom their chapte r s, se n t grand officers t o lend assistance and to confe r with college offi cials. Miss Keller, P r esident Emeritus, who represe nt ed Pi Berea Phi, reports, that the mat ter of abolishing fraternities is n o w befoJ"c the board of 'admini s trato rs of th e c oll ege f or fina l decis ion.

Pi Beta P hi's cha pte rs ar e u rg ed to r e pre sen t in their co ll eg es the ide als for whi c h the fr atern ity stands, to place themse lves above crit icism for sn obbishness, se lfi s hn ess , or lack o f serious purpose! and to wor k con ientiolls ly to es tabl ish fo r e selve a dese rve d reputa.= tion for sound scholarsh ip , hearty co op e r a ti o n with college and fine loyalty and serv i c e to their Alm a Mater.

Facing as Pi Beta Phi does the danger of IQsing se v'eral of its l o ng-established chapters, it behooves us to have clear visjeu for the future and to adopt de finitelry a poli c y of judicious extension into such institutions a.,'\, fun) f meet our and have 3 sympathetic attitude toward fraternities. If a frat e rnity is to be great, it must have breadth of vision, insight in ,to alertness in bejng the first to €stabljsh itself in instihrtions which reach its national r and ha\re unquestioned futures, and the. confidence in hs power and prestlge which gives it the cOlllrage t o pioneer. 'roo much stress cannot be laid upon the importanc e of being the first national if possible, or at least one of the :first nationals to enter representative institutions. Pi Beta Phi is still stru gg li ng to recover the ground which it lost in the far 'Vest by hold.ing back a nd permitting Kappa Alpha Theta. Kappa Kappa Gamma" and Gamma PIli :Beta to become firmly in tlle majority of the leading institutions before it made any charter grants. As new institutions ln this section reach our standards we must not repeat our past mistakes. In the South we should be watchfu l and alert. Its illstitu ,· lions for many years felI belo w our standards fmt are now rapidly meeting our If we adopt the policy of being the first of the large II'Hltio MalR to establish QUl'seh-, cs in the outstandjng institutions of this se'tion we shall do much. to retrieve our serious mistakes in the \Vest.

THE ARROfV OF PI BETA PHI

Alpha Theta, Gamma Phi Beta, Del ta Ganl.D1a, and AI!)ba Phi to take the lead. In this 6:e l d Pi Beta Phi would do well to adopt a broader policy. In this connection it is su.ggested that chapters read the section on extension in the Grand President's report published in the Secret ARROW of 1914 in which is quoted the summary made by the late !Mr. RaJrd,* the great national authority on fraternity affairs, on the advantages of estabHshing chapters iln .small colleges.

Groups in ten institutions meetiJlg our standards are now petitioning Pi Beta Phi. Numerous applications have been received from groups in colleges below the standard set by the fratemjty. Of the tcn eHgible, four are in the West, two in the South, three in the Middle West, and one in the East; six are in state institutions, three i n privately endowed institutions of Group A, and one in a municipal .nine are in coeducationa.l ins 'trtutions and one in a coUege for women. For two of these groups, Chi Eps i\on at Beloit Colleg'e, Beloit, Wisconsin , and Beta Phi at Oklahoma Mechanical and Agricultural College, Stillwater, Oklahoma, the vote will prohab l y be called during the summer.

In both Beloit and Oklahoma A. and M., Pi Beta Phi has the opportunity of being the first national fraternity for women to enter. Beloit is the strongest of the privately endowed colleges of Group A whjch welcome fraternities and which as yet has no nationals. The reasOn for this is although coeducational since 1895, it has but recent})' granted to its women students permission to· seek charters from national Oklahoma A. and 1\'1. is one of the strong institutions of the Southwest w'hich has un l imited resources and a great future. Both of the offer exce p tional openings. The petitioning groups are strong and representative.

are well advanced in their work of petitioning. Groups at De Pauw University, at the State Universities of North Dakota and Montana, and at Washburn College have also had considerable correspondence with the committee on extension. It has been deemed wisest for the present to discourage the last mentioned group OWillg tn the fact that many groups have prior right to con:::idcratluli.

The standing committees have done excellent work throughout the year.

The c.ommittee on examinations has now become the cOlllmittce on fraternity study and examinations, the emphasis being thrown upon study rather than upon examinations. It has prepared an excellent course of study for pledges and will have in at the opening of the college year a course of study for chapters. The committee on umlergraduatc loan fund has made loans of all moneys available for the purpose. The committee on permancnt fc:llowship fUIHI, upon advice of Grand Council, has confined its activities to keeping intcn..:st alive in the endowment of a penna.nent fund, and has made nn campaign in order that the entire support of the fraternity might be given to the war program.

The work of !Joth war fund and war work committees was affected by the sudden signil!g ()f the armistice. The former committee, howevcr, collectl'd a c()J\sideraldc fund. At the time peace was declared

the nurse selected by the war work conunittee and approved by Grand Council, Dallas Ireland, Ontario A, was awaiting her passports.

The committee bas since engaged in the work of aiding French women students in this country. DUl" ing the year 1919-1SJ20 the \"ark of aiuing Frellch and Strbian studt:nts in American universities will be continued, the funds for the purpose being placed a.t the disIJosal of Dean Beggs of the university of Minnc!lota. and Dean Keller of Y\'esthamvton College. The annual graduate fellowship will Lc discontinued for 1919-1920 and the money devoted to the war fUlld. A Tt'constructioll scholar!.:ihip of $2jO has been granted to lcie C;. Macy, Virginia A, a graduate student at Yale, who will next year complete the work for her Ph.D. degree. !o.1iss Macy has been granted a schOlarship of like amount by Yale. Her research work is the investigation of the toxicity of cotton seed products, the aim being to cliscovcr the cause of the toxicity which prevent!; the by-products of the cotton industrycotton seed kernels, mea.l, aBu flour-from being used to a satisfactory end.

The Settlement School has concluded a successful year. The head residen t reports that at the ean1l:st request of the people of the Gatlinburg community the first year of high school work will be added next year. The curtailment of the activities of alumnre clubs, due to the influenza elJidemic, had its effect upon the income of the school. Redoubled efforts must be put forth the coming year to swell its coffers. Every member of the fraternity should esteem it a lJrivilege to have a part in this great work of the organization and if her name is not already signed to one of the Settlement School pledge cards should attend to the matter at once. Every chapter should make it a point of pride to have a. 100 per cent record in support of the Settlement School. There is no college girl who by personal sacrifice or by work could not meet a pledge of a dollar a year in support of her fraternity's great work in the field of social service. The special attention of Grand Council throughout the year has been directed toward the internal strengthening and developing of the fraternity. One-half of the chapters have been officially visited and four petitioning groups have been inspected. A letter on conduct has been sent tu all chapters.

REPORT OF MEETING OF GRAND COUNCIL 17

To all officers and chapters the call to intensive work is sent out. Pi Beta Phi claims from your organization for efficiency, a constructive program conscientiously and followed, and a definite striving for the realization of the ideals and standa rds of the fraternity to the end that Pi Beta Phi may fully justify its existence in every institu tion in which it is represented.

Sincerelr yours,

ItEP()ll'r OF THE .:\l}t:ETIN(; ()F

The annual meeting of Grand Council was held at the home of the Grand Treasurer in Lincoln, Neh , August 22-28, 1919. The work of all national officers, province presiden t , standing committe es, and chapter,,!> was carefully reviewed and a general policy for increased efficiency in all lines of fraternity work was outlined.

All required annual reports of officers a.nd committee hairmell. except that of Theta Province President, had been received and were read and accepted by the Council. of the seriuus illness of i'.lcClymonds, her report as Kappa Province Preskknt was given orally by the C;rand President. l\Tany suggestions for 1110re dTectivt: work were adopted by Grand Council and \vill be illcurpoJ'atl'u ill !'pecial bulletins to ofIicers, to committee chairmen, and to chapters. At the request of the Committct' un fur a definite statement of fraternity lJOlicy, the Grand Council again on record as favoring conservati1..'c extension. The following rulings governing petitioning groups were made:

Since the initiation of any alumna memoer of a p<:titioning group is permitted only upon the unanimous conS(;'llt of (;rand Council, all long-estahlishtcl locals must be made to realize, from the time of their first communications with Pi 13Ha Phi, that the initiation of more than a very small proportion of their alumnre will be impossible. Briefs asking for permission to initiate alumnfe and giving definite reasons for the consideration by IIi Beta Phi of each alumna (in the case of undergraduate alumnre indudillg special information as to the reason for each L!irl's non·completion of her college course) must be sent Grand COUllCil at the time of the presentation of the regular

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

Tho!;e members of chartered petitioning groups whose initiation has been approved by Grand Council Lut who are unable to be present at the installation ceremonies may, without further permission from Grand Counr.il, be initiated hy the chapter concerned at any time within one year from the date of For ini tiation a tat irnc la t er than one calendar year, a second official permission from the Grand llresident must be obtained by the chapter .(

The scholarship rt:quirements for a petitiuning group are that at the time of the presentation of its fl>rmal petition the scholarship of the group shall ue creditahle, that there shaH be no conditions or failures on its current record, that its average grade shall be above the average of the women's fraternities of its college and abO\'e the all-college average, alld that ,-,ac It Jilember shall have among the faculty a for cunscientious classroom work.

Because of the excellent ",,'ork done by the Committee on War Fund, the fraternity has af.>proximately $700 available far post-war work. Grand Council voted tu discontinue the on War Fund and on War \Vork, and to appoint a Committee on Reconstruction Work, with power to apply the fund to such uses as seem wise. :Requests for aid for both French and Serbian have already been received and will proLahly meet with a conli(;ll response from this committee. The Council votcu that the $250 !;till available from the national treasury for reconstruction work Le applied as a nucleus towards the maintenallce of a trained nurse at the Settlement School. The pos:-;ibility of holding; convelltion at the of the constitutionally required two years was carefully consiuered by the Grand Council, and upon the statement of the Grand that the Convention Fund would not be ahle to finance a convention in 1920, Council voted to call for a vote oC the active chapters upon the question of postponement, gi\"ing them the choice between postponing conventiun unti 1 1921 and holding it at the constitutional time with each chapter meeting a part of the t!XpCllSCS of its delegate. Grand Council expressed its belief that Pi lleta Phi has now reached a stage of uevelopment where a city convention or one imposing the burden of preparation and entertainment UP(lIl any chapter or group of chapters is inadvisable. I n connection with its general consiueration of convention policies, Granel Council pa:-;5ed the following constitutional a mendmen 15 ;

Statu t e s II, Sec. 1, a, i s am ended t o r ead :

Ch apte r delegates t o conve n tion sha ll )e chosen from th e junior class hen possible, and from the lower classes when no j unior is conside r ed el igib le

Statut es II, ecs. 3, 4 , 5, and 6 are chang ed t o 4, 5, 6, and 7 and Sec. 3 is inserted t o r ead :

Sec 3. FINANCIA L OF C HAP TE R A D DELEG A TE

Upon th e fai lure o f any convention d e l egate to' return to her chap ter for th e en t ire sem ester immediate l y foll ,wing convention, t he c h a p te r co ncern ed s h a ll be r esponsi b l e fo r the refundin '''' to ,the na tion a l tr eas ury of the money exp cuck d for said delegate's conet ti o n p enses

a Th ' money shall b e paid according to a pre -con vention a g re ement between chapter and w hic h shall fix the responsibility for paym.ent upon the chapter, upon the del€:g a te, or in a, specified ratio upon both chapter and dele g ate.

b. This mone} shall be used by the fratemity to defray the e x pe ns es of a specialllational representat.ive '\·;ho shall be sent to th a t ch ap ter to bring to it the inspiration of convention. In tG;spons e to th e requGst of many chapters for sugg,ested programs for dl::1p,ter meetings, Grand em,meit forlllU 1at-cd the follo\ving recomme.ndations:

Tha t e,ach chapter, once ea'h year and if possible on or near the date of its installat i o n, c el e brat e ItChapter Day" with a program deaUn lCT with facts of cha p ter histo ry , of 'well -known alumnre, a.nd so forth.

That each chapter devote two meetings each year to the Settlement School, one,as e:l!rly as possihle in the fall, and one near the dose of the conege ye<ar. If the suggestion made by the Grand President to, several chapters that each girl keep a 1"Penny Bank" (not necessarily lirnit ,ed to pennies) for the Settlement School We-TC uiHversaHy adopted, this second Settlement School program might include tlle opening of the and the telling of any interesting experienc.es Of sacrifices connected ""'ith their filling.

That each <:hapter set aside one meeting each year fOT a program on the vital health p:rohl'eml' of t he hour, the.se programs to be lin e d by Dr. Edith JordoD, Ontario A, and Dr. Edith Matzke, N ew York and the m ee ting to be under the supervision either of the Advi or Committee ·or of a won"an phys.ician or nurse chosen by them.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

Since· the new n1edlOds of study and exa , mination will caB for increased use of t.he fraternity History, Grand C o uncil felt that this need could be met only by each cbapter's having available a suffidendy large number of copies of the History, and it urgently recommended that each chapter 'Own at least one copy of the History for every five members of its average-sized chapte,r including pl e dge.". To help make this ideal condition possible the Grand Treasurer ,,,r,ill aUo'w any chapter or club ordering three or more copies of the H ist o ry at one time a special rale of $1.00 per copy.

The Grand Trea'iurer alld the Catalo g uer were authorized to issue a s upplement to the Catalogue if after i n vestigation of costs and methods such action seemed advisable. Grand Council voted t hat from the Badge Fund $1,000 be set aside annually for th e maintenance of a Clerical Help Fund. Cer l tain correc.tion· and additi o ns to the Secret Cipher were and the (irand Treasur e r , ... as empower e.d to secure special supplies, to lo e u:.ed for th.is " ipher. The Grand Secretary was instructe d to p r epare, upon the .receipl of these uew supplies, cop i es of the Cipher and of the Key for all c h apters, province presidents, and council members

The Grand President ,vas authorized to ask that each chapter which operates a chapter-house send to her each year a copy of the hou s e rules for the coIJege dormitorie.s and a c opy Qf those for t h e chapterhouse, the latte.r to be approved and countersigned Ly the dean of women.

Grand Council approved the appointB'lent by the ARROW Editor of Agnes 'Wright, W)·oming A, as Assistant Editor.

Becauc;e of a prevalent uncertainty as to, fraternity ru s toms, Grand Council authorized the foHowing statement of fraternity lI!sages:

The official sign of mourning is the wearing, inr a period of ten days , under the badge and as a background for it, of a strip of one-ha [f inch. dull black silk ribbon the length of the badge. This ribbon shall be cut with a point at each end to prevent fraying. Under no circumstances shall the hadge he worn with the anow pointing downward.

The official sign for the o f a new chapter is the wearu% on the day of installa t ion, of narrow wine and blue bons the length of the badge as a background for it.

P l lans for the mew Committee on Survey and Standa rdization wc re di i5 and in connection 'with this campaign for internal develop-

ment , the Grand President outlined her proposed Manual for Active C hapters.

Grand Co un ci l co mpleted the revisi on of th e Initiatio n Ceremon y and copi es o f the new cerem o n y will be available early in the co llege year .

In considering the work. o f visiting offi cers, Grand Council made the recommendati o n that suc h officers suggest to local Panhellenics that each year they hold one meeting where each fraternity represented shall present a three -minute talk on "Why I Am Proud of My Fraternity."

-----xii entire day was devoted by the Council to conferen ces with the retiring and inco ming chainnen of the Committee on ettlement School, to the fonnulating of definite policies for the future, and to the consideration of the many progressive plans presented by the chairmen. The resignation of Mrs. Richardson as chairman of the Settlement S c hool Committee was accepted by the Grand Council with great reluctance and with a very sincere appreciation of her splendid service for the fraternity . Mrs. Richardson wiJI remain on the committee and will be the member in charge of finance. The incoming chairman, Miss Abbie Langmaid, Minnesota A, is familiar with the school and its needs, and this knowledge together with her experience in settlement work assures the fraternity of the continued progress of the Rettlemcnt School. Grand Council voted that the ruling of convention requiring that two members of the Committee on Settlement School be former teachers at the school be amended to read "not less than one member of the committee shan be a fonner teacher." Grand Council approved the schedule for teachen' salaries as submitted by the chairman of the committee. To meet the demand for more information about the Settlement School, Grand Council authorized the publication of a Settleme.t ScAool Bulleti. to be issued as often as possible during each year. This Bulletin shaH be sent to al1 members of the Alumn", Department, subscriptions to be paid from the annual alU1llllle department dues. It is hoped that the simple printing press which i. being planned for the school as another educational opportunity for the boys of Gatlinburg will in time make it possible for the Bul/din to be published at the school. Grand Council approved the proposed appointment of a local advisory committee for the Settlement School. The foHowing statements of policy were authorized by Grand Council :

THE ARROW OF Pf BETA PHI

It is the sentiment of the Committee on Settlement School, endorsed by Grand Council, that the opportunity for making co ntributions to the Settlement Sch ool shall not be r est ri cte d to members of the fraternity, but that all contributions shall be given and accepted with the understanding that the administrati on of the institution and the control of its funds is vested solely in the fraternity.

I n order to avoid confusion and dupli ca ti on of effort, it has been agreed by the Committee on Settlement School and the Grand Council that the policy recommended to alumnre clubs, cha p te rs, and individuals shall be that gifts of money be made without assignment to special funds, such as those for endowment o r for c urrent expenses, with the unde rstanding that all m oney contributed shaH be pla ced in the genera l schoo l fund, and that at the end of each fiscal year as large a proportion as possible of the surplus remaining after expenses of maintenance have been met shaH be placed in the Settlement School Endow m ent Fund.

I wish that I could bring to every Pi Phi some real idea o f the happiness which the days spent with the Grand Treas ur er brought to the other members of the Grand Counci l. Unless you know Anne Stuart personally, though, it will be hard for you to believe that days so tilled with hard work could be rem embe red with so mu ch pleasure_ Her constant thought for us made our visit in the beautiful Stuart home one which we shall never forget.

Because of the great amount of work which had to be done, we had to refuse all socia l engagements except o ne with the Lincoln A lumn .. Club. The delightful buffet supper whi ch they gave for us was an opportunity to meet and know Lin co ln Pi Phis whi ch we mjoyed and appreciated very much indeed. We were interested, too, in going through the new Nebraska Be ta house which has just been bought and which will make an almost ideal fraternity home.

'Vh en, at the close of a busy week, we left Lin coln with the Nebraska Beta candy tu cked in our bags ou r mjnds were filled with happy memories of perfect hospital ity and true friendship .

ANNUAL MESSAGE AND REPORT OF GRAND VICE PRESIDENT FOR THE YEAR 1918- 19

In the summer lellers were sent to old and new Province Vice-presidents in an effort to have the file s properly divided alter th e redistri ct-ing done at Con· YeDtiOD; to urge the old officers to help the new ones, and to give the new Clfficers •• much assistance as possible in starlin&" their new work . For tbis

GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE TO ALUMN/E 23

last much correspondence was necessary, for in spite of the early Itart made toward getting the files moved. some new officers are still without any 61u whatsoever at the close of a whole year. Something must be done to avert such conditions in the future for this has been a di.tinct handicap.

Needless to say, the inBucn:r.& epidemic demoraliud thinKS in the .lumnR: department u well &I in the active Many club. had no meetinp for months because of the ban on gatheriDp of any sort, and 10 much of the year '. programs had to be abandoned, and all the cla.im.s and interests of the alumnlt department received less attentioD than under normal condition•.

Perhaps it was wcll, therefore, because of these diJlicultiu encountered in filling the offices, in moving filcs, and in holding meeting., that the Grand Vice-president departed from the usual C UltO,m and wrote directly to all clubs in the fall, making suggestions for the work, etc., and endeavoring to establish a feeHng of nearness and a. confidence in the spirit of belpfulne tha.t the alumna: officers wish to have exist in their department.

A round robin was sent among tbe Province Vice-presidents that w., a help to aU, especially to the new ones (10 they said). A summary of the main points in these letters was made and copies :U'e to be furnished to all the Province Vice-presidents for their files.

It is the desire of the worken in the alumnre department tbat the clubs should tlll'1l to them, as the active chapters do to their national officers, for help, cooperation, suggestion, etc., etc. To bring ahout sucb a condition i, their special aim and object, and they wish that every club and every member could realize it and take advantage of it

Charters have been granted to five new clubs-Northeastern Pennsylvania. Ina Smith oC Tacoma, New Orleans, La., Norman, Okla., and Oklahoma City. A few other groups are getting into shape to fulfill the requirements and seeure a charter. The alumna! department is bound to (TOW with the great exodus of Pi Phis Cram college every year , but we want OOT club li.t and our clubs to grow accordingly. As the states are now districted no Province Vicepresident is too heavily burdened to give speedy attention to reque.ts. It i, hoped many groups or individuals will avail themselves of these opportunities for helpful suggestions.

It is a matter of regret that one cl ub had to relinquish its charter. San Diego has such a "Hoating" population that it was impossible to maintain a club of the required number of members (fO), so the charter for that cl ub is on file awaiting the club's revival. Two clubs were dropped {rom the Anow directory on the suggestion of the Province Vice-president, Houston and Waco, Tex . It is a pity that a club once started should ever die.

Other routine work has been ca rried on as promptly as possible--Grand Council correspondence (all votes being kept in a record book), aU other important letters with carbon copies of the answers kept on file. Only the essentials are retained and these are to be kept as compac tly as possible that in the future files will not be a burden to pass on or to receive.

At the request of Grand Council, Volunteer Service card. were illued and notice thereof inserted in th e this to guarantee the fraternity a list of "willing workers u to avoid in the future such delays as there were this year in filling office.

Six chapters were visited by the Grand Vice·president in the winter, Pennsylvania A, B , r, and .6., Ohio A, and West Virginia A. An emergency trip was made to Pennsylvania A later, on account of anti fraternity agitation. Repertl of these trips are on file elsewhere.

By request are here repeated two paragraphs from the annual letter issued on Founders' Day, since they were intended to affect this year', work.

Are there wi.lling hands to hew uut new paths to saccess; willing he!lds to pl:J.n new means of strength? WEN E ED TH.b: M' ! Members of alumnre clubs, both large and small, non-members of dubs, and isolated Pi Phis, this is an appeal to you all! Let us start the ball rolling tcwanl greater strength in our alumna: dep"J.,'tment. What to your mind would strengthen it? What do you want tll see in the alumna! orga.nization? Isolated Pi Phis, how do you wish we could reach you? Your Pro ' ince Vice-presiden I aud your Grand Vice-president will warmly welcome your suggestions. \Ve want your point of view. Please express it! Write to us!"

A word of explanation concerning the tinances of the alumna! departmen t may not be amiss bere. For years we alumnre had no finances, since we bad no dues. We ju:>t lived on the bounty of the active Grand Treasury, vcritable parasites. Even when we founded the Settlement School {or our special means of service, the entire alumnx department was without funds and we still had to ask the active chapters to vute $250 to the Settlement Sl:hool annually that some money might be really guaranteed. Then it was that the nominal tax of fifty cents per capita. was decided upon and at last we alumnre could pay the salaries and oflice expenses of our alumna! officers. However, we alumna! art! not yet indcpendent. That we might hal't! more interest and greater \'oice or power in cunvention, the Province Vice-presidents (purely ofiicers) were given J1 vote ill conventioIl and their con\'ention expenses have always been bOI'llt! by the active Grand Treasury. Is it not time that we assumed thest! expenses ourselves? It will bl! possible only with a. larger membership in the

A1Ulllna: Organization. "What can 1 get for my fifty cents ?', so many isolated alumna.: ask. The answer is "Alwnna! voice in convention, the senices of thirteen willing alumna! otlicers, and the l.:omfortable sense of independence, of well doing, in relieving the active treasury, and. sumetime, perhaps! a quarterly B ulletiTl u f Settlement SdlOOI news." N uw that you know the story of the fifty l.:cnt tax, will n(Jt more of you send that sum to your Province \'ice-presi(lents, or, better still, juin an club, which will forward your dues fur you.

Grand Council requests that every club st!t aside one meeting a year for the discussion of vital health prublems of the hour. Dr. Edith Matzke and Dr. Edi t h Gordon, now specialjzi n g in thl: study 0 f public health in Philadelphia, have ueen requested tu serve as the committee to direct the health programs in tbe fraternity.

Clubs might unite with chapters in celeLrating chapter day, if possible on or lle:u the anniversary uf the chapter's installation, going over the chapter history, and endeavoring to get local background. Large clubs, composed of members from many chapters, might ask repn:sentatives from various chaplers to a bit of their local color a.nd histor)'.

Fur a Panhellenic day a club might ask a representative from each fra · ternity in tuWll to talk on the hig-h lights 0 f her own (It is I-lrising how much we do not know of other Greeks' good and policies and customs.)

Clubs could bave some of their own members that servcd onrseas gi\'e informal talks_ Clubs could exchange such speakers with otber clubs.

One club, missing the war-time sewing. is sewing for the "Loan Closet" of the Public Health Committee-an excelleDt idea.

It would cl:rtainly be a great ht!lp in arranging programs and the club work if every club Dfficer subscribed to THE ARROW. How can an officcr be up to dn.te in Pi Phi matters, if she is not fln ARROW subscriber?

The Settlement School. gencr::tlly aJmittltd to be the sal\'ation of t.he alumnfe department, nceds our hearty cooperation this year. This service of

OL'll SCIIOOL

B\" ABlllE B. L\::-';CM.\IIJ; Settlement School Com mitta

Six vears agu, my acquaintance with Gatlinburg Legan, when the Pi Beta Phi Settkmtnt Scho o l ill its infanc y. In June I made my second visit, at Mrs. Richardson's request. A..lthuugh THE ARROW has faithfully recorded the succe ssive steps in the develupment or the 1 wa::; unprepared for the wonderful change which had taken place since the fall of 1913. Only among such a pl'ople, "une(iucated but highly cultured," and only 'w "ith the w' e, untiring work of many Pi Phis could result:; such as the:ic ha\'c heen accomplished.

The people from the beginning were Inure than ready, they were anxious to have for their children and their community the teac.hing of the school and the influence of the settlement. This open-armed receptivity means speedy accomplishment. Also it would seem that the greater part of the people are clear, straight-forward thinkers, so, when opportunity offer::;, their education is accomplished in an exceptionally short period. Witness the fact that several of our most noted divines in this (:()untry and abroad were IllOtmta1nccrs from t111:-1 or neighboring regions who began their "book learning" at a mature age and completed ('ollege and theology in ten years' time! Gatlinburg people are worthy of our best c..:ITorts in expenditure of time, of money, uncI of clear thinking and. p.lanning to bring about expeditiously f arreaching educational development fur hoth children and grown-ups. The war taught us, as nothing else could have, the blessedness of service, service fur all our fellow-men, in place of the self-centered or family-centered existence of pre-war days. To a. greater extent than ever before, Pi Phis are ready and glad to take their share of th<:" responsihility for the Pi Bda Phi Settlement School. This, coupled wit]l the fact that lr: r'Ldly the time is ripe for weat strides

ahead in the work at Gatlinburg, promises well for the future of the institution.

Many boys calletl into the [rom the mountain regions found themselves at great disadvantage. Big, ':\plenclid fellO'.\·s physically, for they ranked above the average in this re:;pect, their suffering when they had to reveal their inauility to n.:aJ or write call only ue imagined. These men now arc anxious to du all they can for the advancement of schools and community Hfe, and in Gatlinburg our problem now is to make it possible for A I. I., i TIC 1uJ i ng the gro \..,.n men and women, to get what they so greatly desire.

This year provision will be made for older !lllys to earn their "schooling." Ready money does not exist where living is so se .... erely simple as it is in nlOuntain so if an occupation can be provided we may he able to keep the older boys ill Gatlinburg a1ld in the school. A mill equipmellt f(Jr the making of furniture has oeen purchased and questioll of a. III ill, power, and location is under consideration. This equipment has cost comparatively little, due to the assistance of \fr. Lawson }{ eag an o[ Gatlillburg.

Four adjoining di:;tricts wished this summer to gi\'e up their county schools which they recognize are inferior to the Pi Phi school in equipment, lellgth of year, and quality of teaching, and tu send aU the children to our school. Owing to lack of accommodation and funds for adequate teaching force for so large and sudden an addition, only one of petitiolling districts could be admitted. N ext year provision must be competent to meet local This means a larger building, more teachers, more equipment in every respect, and that, of course, means more money to be raised. Ho\vever, it is the most worth hile opportunity that presents itself to many Pi Phisthis of raising or giving money to the Pi Phi Settlement School. Most Pi Phis are unable personally to go into social work. They have been accustomed for tht past three or four yt!ars to give all their spare time to Red Cross or some other branch of work for others. The war necessity is gone, but here is the chance to give for others of time and thought and mUIlcy. We all fed that our own education allel selfadvancement is of little ava.il if it is not put to use.

Pi Phis c"erywlierl' are asking "\\'hat is needed at (;atlinburg? \\'hat are the plans for future work, for enlargement? 'A'hat can \ve do -;l" So here are thl! needs in detail.

More land One piece facing the pr ent P i Phi property and a r o ss t he Li tt le P igeon, with only the r oad and r i ver between , is available at $2,50 0 or $3, 000. T his contain s ab ou t s ev e nty acr es and has on i t some v ery valuable timbe r excellent fo r the making of f urniure i n ou r new fact o r y . An other piece of l and di r ectly back o f the scho o l p ro p er ty an d j o inin g it is priced at $ 4, 00 0 . T his i s ab o ut th e same acreage a s the first, is bette r for agricu lt ural pu r p oses, an d h as mu h t im b e r. L and v a l ues e l sew h e r e are increa ing b y l e ap s and bounds and, should th e rai l roa d reach Gatlinburg, and the indications a re that i t s oon wi ll d o so, these two p ieces o f l an d w ou ld find ready sale t o someone else and t he Pi Ph i eh 01 would be c rippl e Not on l y j land neede for a g ri c u ltur a l purpo 'Co but also, f o r buildi n g s ites Pr o v isio n mus t be made f o r the housing of those p upils wh o ar e coming i n from outlying districts . 1'i Phi w ill get option on one or bot h of t hese tra cts, i f poss ible.

An ele ct r ic li gh t pl a nt i a d v isa b le. Grown m e n and women, occupied wi th h ous eholds a n d fann ' d uri n er t he day, the tong evening in which to attend school.

The cornnlw1ity must have a visiting Child welfare has not made the progress that it has in our northern states and sanitation, except in the immedjate vicini ty of the h o ol, is unknown in all its phases. A county nUniC , the solut io n 'in many northern communjties, would ue quite inadequat.e in Gatlinburg. Transportation is always difficult, sometimes impQss ible in a co ,untry so Il1C1utltainou!;. :Moreover, thE.' field within small radius of the school demands aU her services. Two 'hundred and fifty dollars is deEnitely available to start the work of a nurse, so a. soon as OI1e can be secured, the experiment will be made. Report has corne of considerable amounts promised for similar work yeaJS ago. Tbis will be investigated and the money obtained, if these promises. still holtI good. Also, I understand, we kl'llc the beginnin g o f a hospital fund , the Jennie Nicol F und, uf $200. T h e co unty scbofllhouse. of two rooms, is available f,or ho:pital us e, and tbe d oc tor s of Sevi,erville and Pigeon Forge are ready to a:sist in this work.

Mon ey f o r building is needed. Our school naturally is too small to meet present requirements, since during the war such changes could not be made . Before next year accommodation must be made for the children of the other three districts which have asked for admittance this year. County money from these districts, about forty· dollars per month for each school, will help on expe nses during the four months of ufree school," but will not be available fo r the remaining fOUT, of course. The school building quite r eadi l y can be enlarged and at comparatively small expense, due to its having been constructed wisely with the necessity for expansion in view. -

Farm s tock, cows, swine, poultry , goats, or sheep, also the raising of alfalfa and of fruit, all as aids to a se lf ·supporting ' institution, will be introdu ce d if found adapted to Sevier County, as soon as our income permits.

Owing to rise in price of all commodities, increased salaries, repairs postponed by the w:lr and now imperative, ou r budget for 1919·1920, as you see, will be larger than heretofore. The furnishing of the boys' cottage, some additional furniture for the girls' co ttage, dressers and tables for the residents' cottage, th e telephone, the summer expenses, our m.ill equipment, must all be added to rgular expenses of fo rmer years. Our estimate totals approximately $8,000 for the year of twelve months. If gifts can be sent in the form of money without specific designation as to purpose, it will eliminate much cor· respondence and delay. In this way immediate needs for expenditure may be met promptly by the committee. Also, if amounts can be sent in as soon as collected, it will assist greatly, for our bills must be met each month and not annually.

All sums are to be sent direct to Mrs . R icha rdson , who will remain in charge of the finan ce s of the Settlement School. It is the present policy of the fraternity to accept gifts from Pi Phi friends or others for the Endowment Fund or other special funds. The Endowment Fund we hope to make appreciably larger this year. Miss Bryan will be the member of the committee in cha rge. Miss Keller will locate tea chers for the school and keep o n file their applications which will be made on blanks furnished f or that purpose. T oge ther with Miss Beggs, she will supervise the school c urricula .

One thing every Pi Phi, active or alumna, ca n do. This is to send EVERY magazine subscription, new or renewal, to OUr own Magazine Agency, addressed to Miss Blan che G. Reisinger, 235 E. Lafayette

Are. Baltimore, manager. his last ear, 5 Reisinger sent $185 to the school, her ommis ion from ubscription . And this was from only T\VO HUN DRE subscribers Can you not readily estimate what we might get if all Pi Phis would atronize their own agency ? They could solicit from friends ala. f each one f u would do her art, this one venture alone might easily realize us fr m tell to t wenty thousand dollar annually. Let us make a campaign for this purpo 'e and not send in a single sub cription to a magazine except thr ollfT h 1\liss Reisinger Above all may none of us be guilty of buying any magazine regularly at th e n e", s stands I n closin', my word to all Pi Phis is thi ' : The Pi eta Phi Sf! kment, chaol i ours not yours nor mine but ours I t was formally pre ented to the fraternity as a whole at last onvention, after its pioneer exi tence had proved its worth, its ability to atisfy the needs f its people in G atlinburg hese needs are increa ed now and our obligation increas s p r portionately . he success of the scho o l and of the ettlement w o rk re ts as neve r before on ALL Pi P his, active or alurnnre, rich or poor, ld r young and there is something for each one of u' to do toward making it th greatest ucce possible .

It was her first in two years and people were so glad to see her. W'c had open house at the cottage one afternoon for the ladies and for the young people in the evening. Then the following night Har Reagan and Amns Trentham made music. Everyone had such a goorl time. Mrs. Helmick's interest and enthusiaf'm is contagious and we all felt more like doing a big year's work after her stay with us.

This year we plan to have more boys and girls living here in the school, more work done around the place hy the boys, and this reminds me that we are trying to have our little farm produce as muc.h of our living as possihle. As we have more boarding students there will come a call for individual help, for many young people cannot go away from home and pay their hoard and tuition.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMnTEE, JULY, I918-JULY. 1919

The Chairman of the Settlement School Committee submits the following report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

School was opened on August 5, 1918, with eighty-nine pupils enrolled. Owing to the inability of your chairman to be present, Miss May Keller was there to provide the necessary dignity for the occasion. The teaching corps consisted of the following: Miss Evelyn Bishop, New York A, whose home is in Sevierville, Tenn., as head resident; Mr. Norman R. Prickett, head of industrial department and teacher of manual training; Mrs. Stella Prickett tcacher in the intermediate department and in charge of the sewing and cooking classes; Miss Emily Burton continuetl as head of the kindergarten_

Several abnormal condilion5 interfered with the attendance during the fall months. First of atl, the general unrest occasioned by the war was keenly felt by the older boys who were either a call to the army or were out on farms helping in an agricultural way. A number of the girls left to rio work in munition factories. Then the influenza made its appearance and while much less previllent than in neighboring communities, continued so long that after Christmas vacation. when the weather was bad, school had to be dil:icontinued for a period of ten days or two weeks. There were very few deaths dlle to influenza among ollr people, but when Mitchell Compton died last April, the school sustained a great loss for he was the principal m:lker of the oak split baskets so familiar to our friends. As we were able to maintain an average attendance of seventy per month for the year, we feel we were most successful in overcoming such unusual difficulties.

To add to our troubles, Mrs. prickett's health made it necessary for her to discontinue her work in the schoolroom about the Inst of January and on February I, Mr. Prickett very unexpectedly tendered his resignation. \Ve were very fortunate, however, in obtaining the services of Miss Abbie Runyon of Sevierville who taught the intermediate classes while Miss Bishop helped in the higher graues. Many of the older boys had dropped out so the manual training was discontinued for the remainder of the year. Too much praise Clinnot be given to the part Miss Rishop has tal,en in the year's work. has proven herself so competent to meet evcry emergency that has with such t:lct ann common SC11se, that many a rough place has been smoothed oul before it more than came to the surfa.ce. Then she has had such a holesouled love and sympathy for these mountain people that she was able to go to their homes during hours of sickness and suffering, alleviating their troubles and endearing herself to them in ways not known to another in her position.

During our recent visit we met on all sides extravagent accounts of deeds she had done for them when whole families had been afflicted \yith the "Au." The doctor told us of one case where she was his only assistant in amputating the limb of a man injured in the mill, when he S:lid her work was equal to any trained nurse he had ever had. These facts are told that you may know how well fitted your head resident is for her work in this place.

FRENCH VISI'j"ING STTJDENTS

Jn August, 1918, ca.bles, telegrams, night letters, and other swift messages flew hack and forth betw e en Fran ce and a certain office in Washington, whence they radiated, like the spokes of a giant wheel, to an the more prominent: instituti,ons of l1ighcT l ea,rning in this cOUJltry. That office was the office of the American Council of Education, the executive secretary directing the activity there was Dr. Rohert L. K:eHy, and the ca.use of aU Ule agitation was the fact that about 130 young women were to be sent to American coUeges and universities.

The general understanding with aH instituti.ons was that these young Frenc h women were to be cared for, not only as regards fees and tuition, hut also as regards living extending over the summer vacation.

It was a generous thought which promoted the plan, and the idea was received, but (as always in this life) we found that the big idea must have back of it a lot of little idea,s carefully worked out in order to make it succeed, and the French Visiting Students had no sooner landed aot our various insti tutions than we began to be faced by a lot of little difficulties which could not be for'eseen in j'naugurating the plan.

One great drawback to such a universal plaJn was that the conditions at various institutions differed so greatly. Some ,. such as state universities, were under the necessity of submitting expen!\e accounts i to the close scrutiny of state officials, found it impossible to grant legally more than the remission of tuition and fees, and, lateF, at least at the University of Minnesota, a scho l arship of $150 each to two Frenchwomen and three French men. Other institutions,

privately owned, were able to grant immediately r emissio n of fees and tuition and free residen ce in college dormitories. But in all the institutions money for incidental expenses, such as books, clothing, earCare, etc., had to be provided by private donations.

Of course I know more about the situation in Minnesota than else-. where. Hamline University had two French girls, as did also Macalester University, and these institutions were able to house their girls in the college dormitories. At the University of Minnesota a member of our faculty solved the difficulty of residence by inducing some of her friends to receive the French Visiting Students as guests j but the Dean of Women here and also at Hamline and Macalester felt the burden of providing spending money. Even though the French government began, later in the year, to send about $20 a month to each girl the amount was not sufficient to meet city expenses and to buy the warm clothing needed for this severe climate.

I judge that the other Deans of Women in this state lived from hand to mouth, as [ did, getting a small donation here and another there, with as little publicity as possible. For example, one of our regents gave money to our two French young women to buy them warmer cloaks than they had brought with them from France, and the Faculty Women's Club supplied an emergency f und from which I drew enough to pay book-bills which I had guaranteed personally.

The greatest need came when we were faced by the summer vacation and when we learned that neither Macalester nor Hamline would be able to take care of its girls at the dormitories during the summer. It was then that the War Fund of the Pi Beta Phi n ationa l fraternity proved a fine resource. The two French Visiting Students from Macalester received $50 each to help pay their expenses to summer camps, whence they send us reports of a delightful expe rien ce. The two young women fr om Hamline were given $50 each to help pay their expenses at the state university during the summer. One of our own girls, whose hostess had moved away from the city, received enough from the Fund to pay her boa rd in an ordinary students' house until she could finish her year's work and go back to France. Our other girl, who is to return here next year, received $50 to help her during the summer.

An itemized account of the expenditures has been sent to Miss May Keller, who now holds the residue of the fund. An oppo rtunity should be given for other states to send in requests for assistance, for

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

no doubt as time goes on and as the first flush of enthusiasn for the project fades there will be more need for just such a quiet, effective support as this fund has already provided in some instances. I was sorry that requests from other states did not come to me for this year, but it did Dot seem selfish to spend some of the money here in Minnesota, for the reason that the three institutions are of such a different nature and the six girls benefited were from dHIerent parts of France. There is DO doubt that in th e emergency caused by the presence of the French gi rls it has been of very real service.

OUR MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION AGENCY

Six years ago our fraternity magazine agency was started in order to raise money for the Settlement School. Notices appeared in THE ARRow, letters were sent to secretaries of alumnre clubs, the plan was endorsed and explained by the Settlement School Chairman and by members of Grand Council whenever opportunity offered. I twas hoped that many Pi Phis al1 over the country would be eager to support a plan by which they could benefit the Settlement School without extra expense to themselves.

However, we started with sixty subscribers and in six years the list has increased to two hundred. "ro these regular subscribers the agency is most grateful for they have made it possible to send a total of $714 .25 to the Settlement School, beginning with $62 in 1913 and reaching $185 in 1919. We should have al leaft a thousand Pi Phis sending their subscriptions regularly through this agency. You wiIJ be caBed upon to contribute liberaBy to the Settlement School thjs year and we ask you to use the magazine agency as one channel through which to forward your contribut.ions. OUT agency is a strictly business proposition. We offer club rates and the lowest single rates obtainable. We accept all IIspecial offers" made by publishers. The best time to order magazines is during the "Last Chance" season, usually from October I-November 10. Renewals count the same as ntw subscriptions.

Since publishers will not accept orders from agents unless accompanied by proper remittance, we must ask that you send remittances with the order miling the check or money order payable to B. G.

EDITORIALS

FOR THE FIRST TIME in the experience of the majority of our active members, the college year opens without a war time greeting. This year, momentous though it must be with big world events, is bound to be a very different one on the college campus from any which recently preceded it I Just as statesmen in all countries are turning first attention to home affairs, so college authorities and students can justifiably tum first attention this year to the internal development and betterment of their world. Keeping pace with the times, as ever, Pi Beta Phi is also turning first attention to internal development as the report of Grand Council Meeting shows. If the plans outlined by the Council which will soon be explained to each chapter through a special letter meet with the universal coOperation they deserve, the year 1919-20 will be marked by a strengthening of the chapters all along the line. Let each active mm>ber resolve to give her whole-hearted support to all the constructive measures which are to be enforced throughout the fraternity.

THRIFT IS AN OLD WORD

with a new significance made familiar to all by recen t experiences. Though the strain of wartime necessity is past, there is still need for careful consideration and wise expenditure during these days of co nfusion and uncertainty. This is as true with a chapter as with an individual or a family and thoughtful co nsideration of the chapter budget should be made by the entire chapter when it is presented by the treasurer at the opening of the college year.

Thrift may be practised in ways other than financial and perhaps the most important to the college student is thrift in the matter of time. Two years ago, a senior in one of our brother fraternities wrote a remarkable article for his fraternity magazine on the subject "Waste." The following paragraph taken from this article is as timely today as the day it was written. Remember that it was written by an undergraduate.

Waste of money and necessary lupplies i. intolerable. but wont of all i, the waste of time o r opportunity, wbich il criminal. There have come to the attention of the writer several instances, of late where young men who were 5Ophomores, lay, in college work last year are again in the same institution, repeating the same work. Suppose that in a fraternity wilh aisly chaptera like OUrI, with more than 1,500 undergradua.tes each year, there wu &n average of

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

onc such boy to the chapter, what would be the conclusion 1 You.iIl readil, fiad that liKt1 years would have bet:n wHlcd by l u ch 10UD2 men, od, accordina: to the total of the anuge workini )ifc, that is equal to the ca reer or allotcd time {or busi ness activities of the lives o f tw o men. In other word s, two whole live. have been wasted. Th il iUu.tr.ti OD is 10 .trong that it. mere Ilalt.ment .hou l d cause every one of our undergraduates to examine hi. own caree r to date and thereby learn how mu ch of h i. life h al already been wuted. H o i. worse off than the mincr, the (armer or the manufa ct urer who alway. thinks that if be hu run hi. business carele.sly onc year, he ca n work harder and make up for the deficit in the following year No wiurd however, bas yet dilCovered the way of prolonging life; .0 thnt the boy or man who has thrown away a. year has thereby le sse ned his chance l of hi •• mbition :!J.

To those who may be inspired by r eading the above to think serious l y in r egard to this matter of thrift in time, the Editor would suggest a caref ul reading of the delightful little volume entitled, Living on Twenty-four HolUS a Day. The half hour of time thus invested will bring its own return in new inspiration and suggestion.

MAKE YOUR FR IENDSHIP S BROAD is the slogan which every active girl should carry in her heart throughout the year. Your co lle ge abounds with fine girls both in and out of fraternity circles. Your own chapter cannot possibly include every worthwhile girl on the campus. Learn to know your own classmates , those who wear another Greek-letter emblem from yours and those who wear no symbol of fraternity membership as well. You own life will be enriched thereby and the co llege atmosphere will be so mu c h the sweeter and more wholesome because of your attitude. A writer in a popular magazine some years ago had something to sayan this question of college friendships which is w orthy o f thoughtful consideration. Here are her words, may they prove suggestive to you.

Aboat the glory of college friendships there are many traditions. But such friendships are not gained automaticaUy. They are treuares, and the home tradit io ns of "playing only with your own .ortn may keep you fr om them. If you can't leave that tradition behind, you may almost u well .tay at hom e with it, f or you will lose the pricel esl opportunity that gives of knowing all IO rts of girlf-SOme who have lived pioneer-like, others luxuriously, lOme who have kn ow n tragedy, and others whOle jollity of sp irit will ripph: through your life if you can but gain the ir friendship.

Time that could be spent in friendlh ip is often wasted because of a bad coll ege tradition which tends to encourage "crushes." A "crush" is n ot a friendship but rather a degrading imitation of the real roman ce of life. The girl in co llege un co nscioully misIes the norm a l co mpa.nionlhip with young men that s he would have at home, and the 'tensh" i, an attempted IiUbstitute. But the

traditions which surroand her (ric.nd.hips with mm make. for dimity &ad reserve; the traditions of the "crush" ma.ke (or uDdieni6td sentimentality, and .. .ottine of the fre.h labric of romance.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

For some time the fraternity has felt that the present form of N. P. C. Scholarship Blanks was not adequate for the needs of Pi Beta Phi. Recommendations for an entirely new blank were presented to the Grand Council. Favorable action was taken and beginning next year, the new blanks will be used.

The changes consist chiefly in increasing the number of columns for reporting work to five. The present large group 2, covering all hours from highest grade to failure, has been divided, and work above failure may be grouped in three classes. A fifth column has been added for the r epo rting of hours for which no grade was given.

I n computing an individual or chapter average, column 1 will have a value of 3, column 2 a value of 2, column 3 a value of 1 and co lumn 4 a value of 3. Hours under column 5 will have no value. Each group of hours will, as now, be multipHed. by its value and the products when added will be divided into the total number of hours registered. The value of hours failed will be subtracted from the value of hours passed, before the division is made.

Pi Beta Phi's chapter roll is increased by three names, New York 6. at Cornell University came into being on JUDe fourteenth, and Oklahoma B, at Stillwater, Okla., and \Vi sconsin B at Beloit, Wis., were both installed just previous to Grand Council Meeting in August. All three of these new chapte rs were petitioning at the time of the last Convention in Charlevoix, two of them were discussed in Convention session and the other, informally, among the officers and delegates. Noone of them was ready for final consideration at that time. An account of each new chapter and the circumstances of its installation will appear in the December issue.

The Bulletin for Octobe r will contain important notices. Chapte r and cl ub presidents should remind corresponding secretaries th.t the co pies sent them are for the benefit of th e group and not alone of the

indi\'idual and should see that all announcements contained in The Bulletin are always read aloud in open meeting.

As stated elsewhere, chapters will oe required and clubs will be requested this year to set aside one meeting a year to the consideration of health problems. Dr. Edith Gordon and Dr. Edith Matzke have agreed to furnish the outline of a program for such a meeting, when requested. Secretaries desiring this infonnation may address their letters as Dr. Edith Gordon, 4300 Larchwood Ave., West Philadelphia, Pa.

N ow is the time to support the Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency. Read announcement concerning it and see that your club or chapter representative sends in your subscriptions with money at once or, if you are a.n "isolated alumna," write Miss Reisinger yourself without delay.

(b) She should send a copy of the program of the year for her club to the alumnre editor , as soon as it is prepared, all changes of name and address of club members and all subscriptions she can secure.

(2) She should read over carefully the instructions given above to the active c hapter secretaries, observe the schedule of dates, the rules in regard to form, and in particular instru ctions number 1, 3, 4, and 5. She should send all items she can collect for the alumn., personal section of THE ARROW to the alumnre editor .

(3) She should send the alumn., editor a detailed report of club work for publication in the June ARROW. (Specia l instructions in this re gard will be sent in April.)

REPORTS OF OFFICERS

REPORT OF THE ALUMNA': EDITOR hdy, I9IB-/1dy, 1919

The Editor submits the following report to the Gran d Co un c il of Pi Beta Phi:

Owing to tentative changes in the duties of Cataloguer and Alumnae Editor. the work of the latter, the past year, has cODaisted of editori.l work on all issuc. of THE Anow, preparation of notices for Tlte Bulleli", letters to chapters, clubs, and individual. soliciting copy for use in THE ARR OW, and the usual general correspondence.

Alumna: personals have appeared in the last four iuuea of THI Anow, in tlCCordance with our new plan of baving alumna! note. in the October Dumber. They have been collected {rom every possible source: chapters. club •• officers, personal letters, college publications, newspaper clippings, etc. Unlus already prepared in our accepted regulation form, they must be re -worded, edited, typewritten, etc . Additions to galley proof are exceedingly annoying to the printer. but as personalt cease to be interesting when very much out of date, effort is always made to add all items which reach the editors between date copy goes to the printers and the return of galley proof. While it is very desirable that all material be in by date set for each issue, important changes and additions may be sent at any time and if it is impossible to insert them in proof, they will be used in the following number.

In the December number of THE ARROW. & new department wu started; "Club Intcruts aDd Event•." Thi. will also appear, with alumme personals. in the October issue. It is hoped that clubs wi1l take advantage of this department to announce their meetings and any items unusually interesting or helpful to other clubs.

Biographies and ph otograph. of the twenty Province officers were collected for the June ARR.OW. This Dumber also contained the ann ual club report.. Seventy -one of the seventy -four listed clubs sent in some kind of report and letters were received from the secretaries of two of the others, leaving only one club that failed to respond to the annual appeal for reports and officers for the coming year.

The club directory WRI corrected for each issue and in the June number changed to conform witb officers for next year as given in annual reports. Please notify the Alumnre Editor at once if you see any errors in name or address of your club secretary. After repeated efforts to reach the secreta ry of one club. it was found tha.t she was dead. Death notices appearing in alumnle personals are always cbecked over with those sent to the Editor and considerable correspondence is often necessary to collect suitable obituaries.

In April, a visit was made to our publishing house in Menasha, Wisconsin. Information thus gained as to the many and complicated steps required to make our magazine, {rom the manufacture of the paper to tbe wrapping and mailing, and personal instructions from our pnblishers as to the most desirable WAy to prepare copy, make addHions and corrections in proof. etc., will be of inestimable value to y o ur Alumnae Edit or in ber work the coming year.

REPORT OF THE CATALOGUER

July. 1918-1141')1, 1919

The Cataloguer submits tbe following report to tbe Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi: Since the convention of 1918, the duties of the Cataloluer have been twofold : First, the keeping of the directory up to date j and second, the carin e for the mailing list of the fraternity publication, THE ARROW. The work on

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

the mailing list Rem. to fit in naturally with the work of the Cat.laruer IlDd relieves the AlumllZ Editor of .lOme detaH.

Ourine the collete year 1918.1919 to the date of writing, the ca taloauer hu received from the Grand Secreta.ry s96 initiation slip. (or new members. (or each of which four cards had to be made. onc for the mailing list, and o ne (or each of the three .ets of ca rd s in th e directory: chapte r, alphabetical, and geographical. The Cataloguer h.. felt it of primary importance to attend to th e work of the mailing li l t, and the work invo lv ed in making the ne cen ry addi ti on. ud co rr tctioDI (or each issue h as been so heavy that it has proved imposs ible to make all the correction. in the directory cards, and to car ry ou t o f the plan. ( or the work on the directory.

A ccordi ng to our publishers, Pi Beta Phi I tand s at tbe head of the fraterniti es for which they publi sh m:l.guines, in to the number of Auows which I re unclaimed because of incorrect add re lles. This record is due to the very efficient work of my predecessor in office, Mr!. Nickerson. It is true, h owever, that there are a number of Pi Phis who are entitled to receiv e THE ARR OW, who do not now receive it because of la ck of cor r ec t address. POls ibly further co rr upo nden ce i n the attempt t o acquire thi l information, which it would seem they shou l d be sufficien tly interested to send in themselv es, would p la ce thei r name I again upon tb e mailing list, but time f or this work. has been sadly lacki ng, though lO me effort has betn made, and a slight measure of I UCcess attained. Al so, sad to relate, many married Pi Phis, the announcement of th e birth of whose IOns and daughters appelrs in TH I A uow, still receive the mSluines un der their moidtn name without protest. Some of the Provin ce Vice ·president. ha ve been.. very helpful in sending in the correct new addre" for th ese r ecen tly married Pi Phis in their province, and the Cltalo guer de.ires at tllis time to extend her thank. f or this help , and to urge still further helpfulness dong this line during the uext year. The Cataloruer hal also received tbis past year a galley proof of th e alumnz personals, which has enabled her to make many l ast moment changes in the mailing list, a nd obviate the necessity of waiting for th e next issue for the maguine to be sent t o th e cor rect address.

10 con n ectio n with the work on the mailing list, lublCriptioos f o r THE A ItROW have been received and r eco rded, th e total to date showing 6 life s ubscripti ons, I two year subscription, 69 annual subscription., and 4 sin gle numbers o r de red and paid for , a total of $132.0;1 turned into the Grand Treu urcr.

It is a qu es ti o n how mu ch the Cata l oguer should do in the way of making the Catalogue a co ll ectio n o f biographies whi ch co uld be available for any use the Hi s torian might wi s h to make of them in her work, or whether she should confine her efforts to si mply tra ck of the wher eabo ut s of the members o f the fraternity. Ideally, for instance. it would seem that the catalogue r«ords sho ul d con t lin the account of the splendid work of the many Pi Phis in the war - time activities. Practically, i t has not been possible to make this r eco r d as yet, but it will be done IS far as time may permit.

The work in connection with the directory and mailing Ji s t would be tedious and trying at times, if it were n o t far the personal tou ch which comes in the notu givi ng chlnge of address, and the occasional outburst of those who h ave failed 10 recein their Auows. often through no fault of the Cataloguer, but because of lome slip i n o ur mails, is welcomed as a s ien of the interest felt in our splendid magazine. ud an index of the important part it pia,.. in our fraternity life

The lCurul of informatio n f or the Cltalogue r in keeping her work up to date. and especially in keeping the mailing list as nearl,. correct .. it is poslible to have it, would stem to be as foll ows: I. The individual Pi Phi. themulvu. :J The active cataloguers of the chapters, or the chapte r vice-presidents. 3. The alumnae cataloguers o f the chapters. 4 . The province vice-president•. S. The club li,tl. With these ave nue s 'of approach in eood orde r, it would

seem as tbough there need be DO " lo.t" Pi Phi. Ma, we not try to reacb this g o al dur ing the coming year? I claim the u.is laoce of every loyal Pi Phi t o make this possible Think _hat it would mun to the fratern i ty as • whole, in inleTtst, teal, and ac compli s hment, and to th e members indiriduall,. an d do your part!

Res pec tfuUy s ubmitted, EDITH L. CAIP&NTU.

REPORT OF ALPHA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

July , 1918-/llly, 19'9

Alpha Province President submits the f o llowing report to Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

Each chapter in the province has be>en vi s ited this year by the Province President but, owing the the epidemic in the fall, all visits have been made this spring. At the request of Grand President, I allO visited Beta Phi, a petitioning group at the University of Maine.

Alpha Province is advancing .Iowly in scholarship but we must have more uni{ormly good work if we are to come up to standard. We should be above standard for mo.t of the girls are more than average students but, again, the few bring down what might be: a good record.

Rushing throughout the province has not been a. su ccelJful as in previous year., due, I'm .ure, to the unsettled condition. caused by and the S. A. T. C. Each chapter in Alpha Province need. to uercise especial care in organizing its ru.hing campaign. I f chapter. would only investigate more thoroughly eYery recommendation coming to them, .orne of our chapters might be .tronger. The average chapter membership in Alpha Province i.

Panhellenic condition. are far from ideal. Each chapter mu.t know the national well as local Panhcllenic rule. and then live up (0 them or (rouble will .urely come.

In some chapters I find the Alumnre Advi.ory Committee increa.ing it. scope of acti o n with wonderful re.ults while in one or twd chapter. this committee h become dormant while tbe active chapter need. their help and advice. The war has had such a disturbing effect upon tbe colleK'e and chapter activities reoerally that if active chapters ever needed tbe guidance of their alumnte, it i. at this time.

With the return of our men to the colleges throughout tbe country, there seem. to be a tendency towa.rd the social whirl. Some o( the chapters have

so emphasized dIe soda! lHe t hut their intellectual nnd e oHege life has been i mpaired.

Proyince unity is good bu.t we hope to strengthen it by a province houseparty someti me next yea t . The chapte.rs of Alpha Province have a splendid custom of inviting each ,other to thel ,r banquets, etc. Tbis gives them a chance to get a,cq,u8 in ted and exchange ideas.

Only two chapters, New York .A. and New York r, have chapter houses and they are both to be commende.d fo r th e progress they have made in paying for them. New York r, our baby chapter, should be especially commended, for they have' shown u nusual ability in ha ndling their finane- e s.

Condition.s gene,rally throughout the province are far from ideal bu,t each chapter, I believe, its we3Jknes,; and is striving bard to overcome ,it'1 would urge each chapter to w r ite me often and freefy of its chapter and colle ge life that I may more effectually help.

Alpha Province we'lcomes a ne'v baby chapfer this spring, New York at Cornell Uni,'ersity, Ithaca, N _ y" i n,stalled June 14, by Mrs, Ru gg. I spent one evening with these girls wh ille on person.al visi ,t to Cornell but this short visit was loog enough to convince me that P i Beta Phi nas added a. stroDg, prom i sing, aud enthusiasti c- gn>up to he t charpter rolL

REPORT OF BE"]"A PROVINCE PRESIDENT

July 19I5-JII1YJ 19'9

Beta Provi nce Preside n t submits the f o llowing report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

It has .been a source of much regret to me that ul\foreseen obstacles prevented me from making my chapter vis i ts this year. The chapters were the gainers, however, {or Mrs. Nickerson ver-y kindly included .Beta Pro", ince i n her round of vis i ts, and the girls we r e aU delighted to have the honor of entertaining theiT charming' Grand Vice-presiden ,t.

T ne two new chapters in the province, P.enn s y l vania 6.. and 'Vest Virginia A, are developing rapidly; their c3gerness to respond to any and their promptness in replying 10 all co.mmunications set an example th3.t mig b,t well be foHowed by many of their older sister ehapters_

Pennsylv'an jla A at Swart'hmo 're has been struggUng with. the old question o,f the abolition of frate.rnities; in thjls case the issue has been raised by the students themselves and se .... eral fraternity members-l regr et that llmong ,them were two Pi Phis-jnined the antis. The charge against fraternilic:s v.' as "exclus i veness." The questi o n. whHC' Dot definitely settled. has be e n "tabled" for a year during whkh time tht' frntcrnitics wm practically be on trial and a new system of hidd ,io'g will b e In effect. Those of us who attended the ,convention at Swarthmore aud remember the l ov'ety home of PcnJ1s)'f vanin A and the cordial wbich ruled there, would doubly regr e t having to I'ose our chapter at this e,xcellen t point.

The troubles of A may be used as a, warning to th e rest of llSthat fraterni t ies ar,c' n ever quite safe from aHack. When the policy of expansion as a means of protecHon against the snH-fraternity spirit was voiced at the convention at Charie,vo i x, it seems to me I reXllI:mh e r a statement uttered by a chapter delegate-"l!' 0 expand in ord er to strengthen the {ratermty position is necessary; tbe anti-ftatern ff y agitatjon is practicaHy pastJ '! Let us beware (or we never know wh e re the lightning will strike. have reached me from alumna! stating that letters of recommendation were entirely ignored by certain chaplers. It should be a mAtt er of Pi Phi honor, in fact il is, jllts( a maHer of orciin ,ary courtesy, tha ,t all communication 's f r om alumnre be promptly answe r ed and their confents given due con sideration. It is also essentia l t hat girls, who have been recommend'ed at lellst be called a ,poll. After they have been met, then it is for the

chapter to decide what coune to punue. I lenow of three iDttucel this year, wbere splendid Cit" were 10le to Pi Phi bec:auH cba ptu. were indifrerut to recommendations that had been sent and railed to know the girl, in time .

The in8uent.a conditions, in conjuDction with the rwjustm.ent neeu....,.,. in mo.t school. (ollowing the liming of the armistice, hue made the year a nry abnormal onc (or all chapter.. Now that the world i. sane 'lrain, arad the recon.tructioD period well under way, we en look lor .. • teady Itfowtb in our orcaDiution and work (or the hirbelt development or ODr national ideab ia each chapter. The national key Dote should be atruck; the day {or narrow sectionaliam i, PUt. in frateraity life in &11 other orltuuution.. A broad, democratic and unified spirit mult rule if we are to live and ftoqri,h.

The various atatistics of the 'Beta Province cbapten will, no deubt, be incorporated in Mu. NickerlOn'. report.

Beta Province President is planning an early faIl visit to each chapter in her province in order that she may become acquainted with the girll .. COOn as po.sible and take up with them perlOnany the plans and policies for the new sc h ool year.

REPORT OF GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Gamma Province Pre side nt s ubmits the following report to the Grand Council o ( Pi Beta Phi :

Every chapter in the province has been visited by tbe Province President the past year, 1918 - 19- Maryland A was visited in November, Columbia A in January, Virginia A. and B in February, and Florida A. in April. I remained at least three days with ellCh chapter e:lcept Hollin. 10 wu enabled both to b«ome personally acquainted with the girls and to learn local conditions.

Maryland A. was greatly handicapped in the fall becanse of the los. of fifteen old girls who were unabl e to return on account of wa.r condjtion.. They had allO a very poor ICbolars bip record to oven::ome and had dropped in activities until th ey held practically DO offices. Naturally tbey were much discouraged but the very fact of their small numbers served as • s t imul u s (or closer union and more concentra ted effort. When I visited them in November during their rushing Itascn, [ found the most loyal .pi rit Uld finest fellow.hip displayed anywhere. They initiated fourteen airl. and must have done ItOO<l mothering to anim ul ate such & large number o( Ire.bmen into their fraternity life. Goucher, as all the chapters in my province except Randolph-Macon, ha. no chapter-house but fraternity r ooms. With so many fraternities in the college the Panbel1enic litaatio n i. far from ideal and nearly all fraternities were penali1ed s lightly at lOme time or otber, due to complicated ru s hinr rules. After rhil year'. effort Maryland A bas raised ICholar.hip, made itself knoWD in the college life by acquirinr several offices for nex.t year, and it t o be CODgratulated on it. years work.

Columbia A had practically regained her normal co ndition when J reached Ihe chapter in January. Of course, the previou. year our chapter had suffered greatly from the abnormal .ituation in WashinatoD_ Our girls were taxed with war work and their fraternity life wu redaced to a minimum. The c hapter entered upon its work iut fall with a heavy debt Uld diaorganization. Due to the combined effort of the active president and interested member., the chapter lOOn regained itl former ItrenK'th and prestiae in rUlhinr. They have put Pi Phi once more at tbe head in the university actirities and nut year will play Il big rale in all the various organiulions and societie.. The Kho larahip i. excellent and I am very proud o( the chapters' work (or the past year.

Virginia A gave us the worst Panhellenic difficulty in my province. The fra ternity feclin&, i. not good at Randolph-Mocon, and the fac uity cune very near banishinr (raternities forever, but decided to Jive them ODe more trial. Pledif! day on March 1 and preferential biddinr with no formal rust-lin I' what-

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PH!

soever were inaugurated. 'Ve will all watch the outcome of this system with great inlertlt si n ce it is the idea! pledeing system put to a tellit. The put year was Ihn. Quite IlI"couOUS, {or our chapter had two pJed&t days, but no .igns of this unusual strain were visible. The ch3pter J , record s in scholar· ship and intercst in co lleg e affairs are excellent and the girl. are co ngenial and loyal.

My report on Virginia B will have to be brief since illness shortened my visit there to a few hours. The chapter is large and flourisbing and the an· nual report sho w l that no bids were lost. In scho l arship the chapter leads all o th er fraternities nnd has representat ives in all co ll ege activities. I was very glad to have Mrs. Rugg visil there this spring so the girls would not mi•• an officia l visit.

My visit to Florida .A was pe rf ectly delightful nnd I found the girls fine and congenial. Th ey are the leaders in the co llege life, their scho larshi p is exce ll e nt. and Pi Phi l eads easily in rush ing. The girls had organized a fine system o( study for the fraternity exunination which others may wish to copy. Th e scheme provides for the division of the chapte r into groups with an upper· classman leader to direct and guide the study. These circles meet at regular houn and have oral quines. Unfortunately, the la ck o( student government, org a ni zed athletics :md clan organizations in John B Stetson University gives lillie opport un ity (or the development of executive ability and class spirit. There is great need of closer touch with other chapters and nalional officers , which t ime , h owever, bringing a strong association and more extension in the Sout h will remedy.

While in Florida I in!lpected the group petitioning Pi Beta Phi at Florida State College at Tallahassee and received a most pleasant impression both of the group and the college.

All th e chapters in my province have contrib uted liberally to the War Fund and Settlement School. They hllve cooperated with me in every re spect and the past year's work has been most pleasan t

REPORT OF DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

July , u}/S-lul", 1919

Delta Provi n ce President submits the following repo rt to th e Grand Co un ci l o C Pi Beta Phi:

The president of Delta Province has b«n handicapped by two causes, first by not being able to accept the office until the last oC October, and by iIlne!lS which prevented any visiting oC c hapters througbout the winter and early spring . With the exception of Indiana B, aU chapters were visited during the month o f May. It was not possible to go to Bloomina-ton as planned, 10 my reports on Indiana Bare bued upon correspondence. visits oC h,o oC their own alumnae t o the c h apter , and a consultation with M rs . Edna Hatfield Edmondson, one of their most prominent alumne and a resident of Bloommaton.

The S. A. T. C. worked havoc with the regular routine of the colleges and universities oC thi s provinte just as doubtless hu been the cue every· where. Scholarship for the first semester wu far below the standard of Dormal times, but is gradually being raised again. except in institutions Cacolty ruling hu provided for closer lrading. Talitha Gerlach of Indiana r hu been awarded the Buller Colleae scholarship, and two other members of the chapter have the distinction of heini' OD the honor roll. Michia-an B h announced a new" B K, Priscilla Butler. The comparative scholarship chart i. nol yet available , but it seems probable that Pi Beta Phi ranks third there. Michigan A ranks on a par with Kappa Kappa Gamma. the only rival i n Hillsdale, and Indiana A ra.nk. on a par with its only national rival, Delta Delta Delta. The local in Franklin leads in scholarship. Indiana Beta's

s cholas ti c standing is far 100 low (nex t t o t he las t in the comparative li s t.) Th is co n dition seem to be he fault of the few, how ever, whi c h i encouraging. T he chapter is to be commend ed for making 3n open and concerted effort, th r ough the scholarship committe, to raise the standard Michigan A and B chapters are bot h searching fo r chaperons for the coming y ear Their advisory boards and town alumn are a ery material help to th em in this as well as i n other ways Th e coope r ation in both cases i admirabl e I n di ana B has a chaperon who i very a ti sfactor y and h as been h ig h ly O IDp,tirne nted by th e dean

REPORT OF EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

July, 191B-hdy, If}H}

Epsilon Proviuce Pre siden t submits the following report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

The redistricting o f provinces at the national convention in 19 18 gave to Epsilon Province the five Illinois chapters. Wisconsin, aod Minnesota. It bas been only a few yean since I was in college with Minnesota A and little did I thin:C lhat I would have the wonderful opportunity of doing national work 10 SOOD.

I returned just two weeks ago (rom visiting all of the c hapt ers in the province, including the petitioning group at Beloit College. I went to each chapter a perfect s tranger, but ca rne away feeling that 1 had always kn owD them. In all I met about 160 active girls, '37 pledges. and alumnae too numerous to counl. They were of all different types but all equally interesting an d enjoY3.ble. Such 3. royal wel come a9 1 did receive. I on ly wish every Pi Phi could have the privilege of doing some national work.

This ye ar hal been a trying o ne throughout the educational world, and al a re s ult the am o unt nccomplished in every line by the chapters has been a little less perhaps than in other years. The w a r made so many taxes on the time of Itudents and then too the S. A. T. C. seemed to have upset the equi· librium of nearly every college I visited.

Scholarship seems to have suffered and a lso college activities. While the chapters, with two exceptions, have done well in these things I feet that they could hav e done a great deal more. 1 feel that next year i. going t o bring the results that I know the girls of this province are capahle of accomplilhing.

Perhaps the greatest trouble is the la c k of individual responsibility on the part of the girls. t do not mean this is true of all of th e m, but it does n o t take many who shirk responsibility to pull down th e effort. of a chap ter. If fraternity girls as a whole would reali ze that their college comes first, their chapter second, and themselves last, I am .ure they would be materially .tren&tbened.

The responsibility of being a fraternity woman is a l esso n some have yet to learn. What they do affect s not only th emselves, but every girl wh o wears an arrow We are living in a period when there is a great criticism of women's fraternities and we cannot afford to let one chance go by to strengthen o urselve s aeainst that criticism. A thing which every girl should realize is 4<it is the little thing. that go to make up the big ones."

The chapters were free about telling me of th e ir difficulties and 1 liked this very much. 1 went to criticize tbem in a helpful way, not in a fault· findin, way. Their attitude was splendid and as a result w e accomplished a great deal more.

The rirIs of Epsilon Province deserve a great deal of c redit for many thing •. As a wbole, they have accomplilhed a great deal d uring this trying ,year. Qne of their veatest virtu es is that th ey see th eir weaknesses and are anxious to take steps to overcome them .

I started on my trip of inspection rather doubtfully, when I thought of the splendid work done by my predecessor. 1 felt that I had a hard reputation to compete with beeaule of th e s trong work done before me by Mrs. Spry.

I waDt to thank the active girls of Epsilon Province, the alumnre, and also Grand Council for their many courtesies and great help in making my work as a becinner leIS difficult.

Respectfully submitted, Dun KEu..u LAUUNCK.

Colorado A, Nebrask a B, Ran as A, and Ka n sas B a ll have in terfraternify bid day in the faU at the close of th e rushin g se ason, which i s li mlt.ed by the local l:'anhellcnic. All of the t::bap ter s bave b ee n u n usually succ e ss f ul in rushIng fbis year.

Eta Province is working' hard on the question of scholarship; the reports for work done the first Semester were \'cry encouraJ,:ing and I am looking for still better ones for the last semester. Colorado A reports one member, Marjorie Clcvtland, elecler\ to 4> B K, :md Kansas A reports two girls this year, Lora Taylor and I mogene Gillespie. Not all of the colleges in Eta Province arc on the 4- B Kroll, Kansas A has han the presidency this year of the two largest organizations on the ca.mpus; the Women's Student Government AS50ciation, Luccne Spencer, and the y, W.

The girls a.re very jealous of Pi Phis' national standing and goorl name, In most o( the chapters the alumn:l: iHlvisory committee has been a decided help to the chapter and is a rightfully recognizen influence.

\Vyoming A has been given permission this year by the college president to have a chapter house. The girls are eagerly planning for it, having always lived in the college dormitory. and I hope that they may have it soon. Colorado n has a lovely little which is used only for :mo social affairs. This yenr the g-irls patriotically ofTaed it to the college for use as a hospital during the influenza epidemic. Colorado A, Nebraska B, Kansas A. and KanS:lS B maintaill chapter houses. We h:we no Pi Phi chaperons in Eta Province,

Eta Province is vcry glad this year to present a gi ft to our Settlement School; it is n complete set of dishes which we hope will prove of much enjoyment and benefit to our teachers there.

This summer we are plans for a province house-party to he held in Manitou, Colo., in July. \Vc hope tn have a number of girls (rom each chapter there, f(IT we are all so eager to hecomc acquainted, and I (eel that it will prove a needed stimulus to each chapter to get the ideas of another chapter.

REPORT OF IOTA

July, N;/8-Ju/y, /9/9

Iota Province I'resiJent submits the following report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

Iota Pro\·jncc Prcfoident has not been able to do half the :llnount o( work had hoped this year, Serious illness of her mother made it necessary for hcr to spend half the )'tar in the far East. However, two chapters ha\'c been visited latc this spring.

The Pacific C03St chapter,; h:n'c been very fortunate this year , Mrs. Tannahill has \'isited c\'ery onc of them, bringing inspiration and encouragement with her. Chapters located in the middle states and the East. where arrows abound, cannot realize the that separates the chapters on this side of the great di\'ide from those near the heart of Pi Beta Phi,

geocraphicall, speaking. Sometimes we are apt to become local in tbouCht and fail to ruliz.e that we art only. small part of the great national orc.nu.· tion . Mrs . Tannahill gan the c:hapten in Iota Province l,be "filion" of their national fraternity, and made them feel tbe necusity of .Irengthening their own chapter&, not only (or the local Cood but {or tbe national u well.

Rushing w ver., aucew(.l in all chapters in spi te of the inOueDu. Some bid, were lost to rivals. bat more were ,ained from them. OrelOn A and Oreaon B hue preferential bidding, and the Iystem work. Iplendidly_ OrtlOD A JeDt twcnly-6Ye bid, ud won twuty-be girla.

Scholarship i n the proflDCe baa fallen .. little tbis year. This is partl, due to the Qllusus1 conditions with which the chapters have had to contend. All chapten were in quarantine with influenz.a, lOme oC them many w«kI, and had to carry 00 their work by correspondence. Muy of the airl. were taking courses to prepare them to do war work, if needed, and thOle g-rade. were Dot counted iD with tbe boase grade.. Much time was, of coarse, eladly liveD to Red Cros. IDd other form. oC war work by the members of all the chapters. In lact they were so uger to serve their country that they, at times, forrot the appeal made to the college women of the country, to pre· pare themselm for future ttrrices by "carrying on" in their CoUtee work. All these outside causes had their effect on the ICholanhip, but I hope another year will find eftry chapter iD I ota Province at the top oC the scholarship li.t, for that i. the goal th.t bu betn set for them. The race is on!

A number of honors bue been reported by my chapters. At Oregon A Ella Dews i. the first WOIlWl to hold the office of vice-president of the Student Body, the i. al.o college hi ato rian. Six girls are in the Glee Club, and one it pre.ident of the Womu ', Band, two are in Y. W. C. A . cabinet. Three eirl. were elected to Kwama., the sophomore women's honorary organiutioQ, two to Mask Ind Buskin, ODe to Zeta Kappa P.i (debating society), one to Triple A. freshman organultion, and the society editor of the E","ald i. a Pi Phi. Oreecm B reported Opal Rainl elected to Forum; this is the highest honor bestowed by the coUere upon a woman. Opal was also president of local PanhelltDic and lec retary of the senior cl.... One girl was elected to the Madri.al Club, five to Muk aDd Dagger. One served in Y. W. C. A. cabinet and one in Athletic A .sociatio n At Washington A Evelyn Picknll was elected prelident of Y. W . C. A. Two girls were invited to join Alpha Phi Mu, an honorary musical fraternity. Washington.A. did not report further hODon. Washington B reported two girls elected to OmicroD Nu, ODe to Gamma Tau, two to Ma lk and Dagger, Uld {our to Mu Phi Epsilon.

Alpha. Provin ce Vice-pr esi dent 5ubmits the (all ow ing report to the Grand Council o( Pi Beta Phi:

The alumnae dabs of Alpha Prov ince have had a very success(ul year in spite 01 the .erioas inte rrupt ions in the work ca used by the war and the inftuenu. Nation al due s have been Itllt in to the amount of $IJi.SO , almo s t u much as last Three clubs an increase in membership, that of Toronto having doobled. Boston bas two more members thnn New York.

Enry club, ucept one which bas not reported t o me, has given more money to the various funds than last year. New York lead. with the splendid record of $400 in Liberty B onds f or the Settlement School Endowment Fund and $uo f or running expense•. Tbe Western Massachusett. Club de· serves especial credit (or giving $8 .00 each to the Settlement School, the \Var Fund, and the Fellowship Fund. This meant $3 .00 apiece (rom each o f its eight reall,. active members. I( all alUlllllt should co ntribute at that rate whal wonderful things we might accomplish !

New York, SyrACuse, and R ochester have done a large amount of sewing for France and BelJium. New York and Boston have had especially interesting meetings when many cbapters have been represented. The 80S Ion Club, through its adrilOry co mm ittee, h made every to maintain close and help(ul rela· tion. with the acti'e chapter. The members o( the committee personally offered a priu: to the active girl rai si ng sc holarship the mOlt during the year. The,. have attended c hapter meeting. regularly and the active girls have come in larger number than usual to the dab meetings. The c1ub gave .. large rush ing party (or the active giris and has also helped them with their rent.

It is matter {or regret that there seems to be n o duire (or a n alumnae elab. or connection with our nat ional work, in Vennont.

REPORT OF BETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT uIl8-Jl4ly, lfl19

Beta Provin« Vice·preaidcnt submit. the {ollowing report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Pbi:

The first few month s of tbe year I spe nt in getting acquainted with the nature of the work and in sorting cards from the old Beta and Gamma provinces into the new Beta Province.. Many correctioDs were made from " nixies," Anow mailing list, Au,o w atumn2 personals, and ,tumole club )i.tl.

However, only (our club. scnt in their list of members 10 I canno t tell what alumnz are paying the annual tax. On my files are 910 card. of which 354are known to be correct as late as June. 1919. 554 of which are life subscribers to THE Auow and 4 annual subscribers. 210 alnmna: in the province beloD&' to club •.

In response to many letters which I sent out five isolated ,lumnlt h e paid the annual tax for 1918 -19 and seven have made annual pledgel to the Settlement School amounting to $10. Seven dollars u a contribution to the Settle· ment School was received from isolated alumnll!. To keep the who lin too far awa.y to attend clubs interestw in Pi Beta Phi, is the bie prob-lem. In many cases they do not subscribe to THI Auow, do not lupport any Pi Phi funds, and thus drift away.

Eight clubs in the province have been active during the palt year and their work h .. been very satisfactory in view of the unUIUal condition I throughout the co untry, of war, influenza epidemic, and so many ludden and temporary changes of address. This has made it necelsary for many officers to be chaneed in the middle of the year and has hinderw the work.

I have written many letters but I do not feel that I know the clubs very well yet u I have not been able to vilit any except the Philadelphia Club and have had but one letter from two or three other clubs. But in every cue the Ipirit of cooperation has been splendid and I hope soon to know each club better.

1 have been in correspondence with the Atbenl Club which has not been active for two yearl and they are going to try to Itart work again thil year.

According to the latest report which hu come to me $4433 was raised for the Settlement School as against $475 from the lame eieht clubl lalt year. Cleveland's contribution of $177.33 is particularly good as tbeir membership is only 33. They are not near a chapter and devote a great deal of their time and energy to their adopted chapter HThe Settlement Schoo!." They alia contribnted to the Loan Fund. Pi Beta Phi War Fund, and to local charities and did refugee sewing as a club. The spirit and enthu siasm of thil club i. an tIcellent enmple. Four of the eight clubs contributed $63.28 to the War Fund. The other clubl approved of it but on account of their Imill numbers could Dot give to it this year and to the Settlement School also. The Phila· delphia Club adopted two French orp hans.

During the coming year I feel that many of the clubs will not have the same difficultiel as durin& the palt- year and that the members will be able to put forth more eneray toward. the strengthening of the alumnae orranit::atioD.

REPORT OF GAMMA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

JtJy, 1918-JV/', 1919

It seems to be the fate of Gamma Province to have her province vice-prelideDts move into another province immediately upon appointme nt. Mr. Compton'l work took him away from Washington Aoon A.fter I accepted the office and I should have rui(pled at once bad ( not known of the scarcity of fraternity workers this year. I have been in Washineton twice durine the year but have

had to depend entirely upon correspondence to keep in touch ..... ith the Richmond and Baltimore clubs.

All the clubs and organizations have had to meet unusual difliculties this year in their work dUI! to the epidemic of influenza and the riv31 interests in war activities. So I feel proud of the elTorts of Gamma Province which resulted in all three of our having :'l. year. By successful, I mean that they were able to hold their own during an unusu:1l1y trying period and are all in excellent shape to make decided progress durinlZ the coming year.

The Washington Club out as one of Pi Beta Phi's most successful alumna! clubs and she can well be proud of the part it ha5 played this last year. To meet the demands uf the Pi Phi war workers who flocked to Washington, twice the usual number of mceting!'\ were held, afternoon and evening alternating nery twu weeks. These wen: all helu at the College Woman's Building down town instead of at the home!> of different Olemuers as heretofore. They were a succcss both in poin t 0 f n umuers :md in interest shown. The Pi Phi Hostess Huuse was c1u'>erl in February after the partial cessation of war activities removed the pressing' need for it. ?vbbel Scott, the last year's president who is in Y. M. C. A. work ill I'-rance, was made the Jlersonal agent of the \Vashington Club ::Inu a purse was sent to her for her canteen work. The Red Cross sewing and social .ervi<.'c work have kept up throughout the year, nor has the Settlement Sehoul been neglected.

Tbe Baltimore Club has shown splendio lucal Ilrganization although I have hlld a hard time to connect them with the national work, due to the fact that I was unknown to them and that a of secretaries took plRec in the middle of the year. Early in the fal! the program for the entire year was made out and sent to c\-ery Pi Phi in tht.: \'icinitv of Baltimore. IncetinK"s were held consisting of luncheun and evening meetings alternating. A special effort was made to get the club members tu sign Settlement S!.:hool pledge cards with a result that o ·cr two-third;; of the mt:mbers cards. Specia.l efforts h:lVc been maue to help the local chapter at Goucher and the club presented the chapter with a silver loving' cup tu be g-iven as a reward for high scholarship.

Richmond has just enough resident Pi Phis to have a. club unci with Miss Keller and Miss Turnbull both members, the interest and success of the club are always insured. The "Flu" pbyed h:H"UC with their officers, so here too, I had difficulty in getting reports until late in the year. Like Baltimore. the Richmond Club preferred to ve their money to the Settlement S!.:hool through personal pledges, whkh seems to be rhe most satisfactory way for a small club. Washington members on the other hand arc lO.1.th tu commit themselves to indi idual future pledges, and much prefer to eArn the muney ur give it as a club.

REPORT OF EPSILON PROVINCE VICE -PRESIDENT

Iw/" 19IB-Jw/" 1919

Epsilon Province Vkf:-presidenl submits the follo"ing report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

DarinI' the past year, which bas seen the bee-inning of this ne .. reconstraction period, oar hea.ru have filled with pride scores of Pi Ph i. have cone out to take up the work which 10 many of our .isters began during the Great War Whether at home or abroad all of 111 have been devoting oor best effort. to those thinp which will make for a permanen t peace i and Quite naturaUy, our old interests have sometimes bad to give way to the urgent demands oC the hour. To "y, therefore, that the work of the eleven alumnae clubs in Epsilon Province has been rather "pepleu" and not up to par would be takinl' rather a narrow point of view. Perhaps, in some in.tance., our clubs have lacked intensive concentration this year, but not from any neglect or lack of interelt, we hope.

Annual reports and dues have been received from eight clubs, but no communication has come from the Wisconsin, South Dakota. or Sprin,field Cluht, 10 it i. impossible to report anything concerning their work for this year. The Carthale and Peoria Clubs are amall, but they a..re Dot lackiog La enthusium, and are more than anrlons to do their share in makin, Iheir orguiution more efficient. The FOl[ River Valley Club find. ill chid difficulty iu the fact that the member. live 10 far apart that seldom do they han metting' more than three or lour times a year. Considerin, its numbers, the Millneapolis and St. Paul Club had a very .mall paid membership. It s hould be oDe of the I.raell or,anb.&tionl in the province and doubtle it will be in another year. The Galeaburc Club prints an attractive prolT&nl with an outline of their monthly meetiulfS. Both Decatur and Central Illinois a.b. report a splendid year with I.rae attendance at their monthly meetinp. The Decatur Club hal spen t mach time raisin, money for their hou se fund. Their intere.t in the acti ve chapter is especially keen. The Chicago Club, whi(:h i. tbe larltsl in the province. i. in ucellent "rannine order" with splendid orcuiutiOD

The routine work of the Provin ce Vice -president was somewhat delayed tbi. yea.r, owina to the fact that Inu Webster's reaimalion. Dectllitated the appointment of another officer who took over the work in December. With ODt

exception, .11 of the Settlement School subscriptions were sent direct to the chairman of that committee. A re port of the national dues i. herew ith en· closed. Although it has been impossible for me to vi si t Bny of the clubs. I am hoping to be able to do 10 during the coming year. I am exceedingly grateful to Mrs La"rence , our Province Pre s ident, f o r her reports which she gave me sfter visitiolC the club. l ocated in the same towns with the active chapters.

For the cominr yeRr Epsilo n Provin ce bas grcat h opes and aspira tion.. We are g o iog to make it a year of intensive r econstruction, and with the unit ed efforts of every Pi Phi in every alumnre. club, who ca n tell h ow far reaching ou r rcsult, may be?

REPORT OF ZETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

ltlly, 191B-July, 1919

Zeta Provin ce Vice-president submits the following re port to the Grnnd Counci l of Pi Beta Phi:

The routine work of Zeta Pr ovi n ce has been greatly interfertd with this year, due to the (act that the files have not been se nt to me by the former vi cepresident. Since accepting my appointment last October, I have made every effort po ssi ble t o ret the files, but have nOI yet secured them. So the work of correctin&, cards ba. n ot been done. H o wever, I have many cards whi c h have been sent me by other Vice-presidents. and as soon as I sec ure the files. the corrections will be made.

National dati totaling $125 ha.ve been collected. There are twelve clubs in the province eight are l oca.ted in Iowa and four in Mis so uri. The largest club in the province is the 51. Louis Club which h ad fifty paid m embers this year.

All club. have contributed to the Settlement School and seve ral have contributed t o the Fellowship and Loan Funds The Sp ringfiel d, Mo .• Club gave $100 to the school and &110 something to th e F ellowship and Lo:ln Funds. And at its !'metin" this year the Springfield Club has been se wing for the "Loan Closet" for the Public Health and Nurse.' A nociB t io n . The St. Joseph Club contributed $2 per member to the school, and the Sioux City Cl ub sent $10 fot the school. Bot I need n o t enumerate all o( th ese gilts h ere, as they will appear in Mrs. Richardson'. report.

All club. have ha d the meetings as require d by the cons titution. Because of the inftllenu (ew clubs had meetings until February. But siDce tbat time meetioKS hue been held reeularly.

I only wisb that .11 clubs could be visited tach yur. Mrs. Sieler Tiaited some of the club. when she made ber visits to the actin chapter. in March and April. An effort has been made 10 roue up for the lack of 'riails through correspondence, and with few exceptions the cOrTespondc.nce has hem ti,factory.

I wrote .11 dub. to discuss the raising of the lonual dUel from fifty cents to one dollu. AI yet, T have not heard definitely from aU club.. Sever.l wrote (or further information about it, and $Orne have Qot taken definite action OD the quution. Some favor it. and lome arc decidedly aaaiost it. sayinr we should get more alumnz to pay the fifty centl before we raise the tax. One club agreed to raise if the utra money collected wu used (or the Settlement School. Some club. want delegates to convention, others .ay that the alumne departments hu no voice in convention, SO there is no need to have deleratea until the department h a voicc. So it would be hard for me to lay what tbe attitude Will in the provioce toward the raise. Some c1ubt seem decidedly IDr it. and others tee m just 15 decidedly againsl it.

But on one thine tbey all agrce--and that is that there should be lOme way to get duct (rom a larger number o{ our perbaps by geuing • pledge for it {rom initiates. But the isolated Pi Bet. Phi i•• problem in this province a. in otben. T have received due. (rom yery few out.ide o( club•.

Although there have been no oew dabs organized tbis year, I {eel that .U eziltine clubs in this province have made great efforts to increase their memberships and become .tronger in everyway.

There are seven chartered clubs in Eta Provin ce: Cuper, Wyo.; Denver, Colo.; Laramie, Wyo .; Lincoln, Ncb.; Manhallan, Kan.; Omaha, Ncb , and Council Blufh, Iowa; Pueblo, Colo.

Owiog to various adverse conditions this past year, some of tbe clubs haTe been unable to meet at all, others only {rom March on 10 it bal been im possib le {or much to be accomplished along definite lines.'

The Lincoln Club, bowever, has done a great deal (or the Settlement School in the way o( introducing the baskets and coverlets made at the school not only to resident Pi Phi. but to the general public, and encourarina the'lale of these articles.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

The contribution to the Settlement School ,lor Eta Province amount 's to' about $200" wbich does not include personal pledge's. The clubs at Omm,a Bnd Lincoln have sent Libe'rty Bond's in additio,n to ,their regular pledge.

The club members in Pueblo have done a great deal of charity work this year, and gave most "alued assistance during the in ,Ruenza epideInic, c'arrying food t'o destitute families. The membe'l's of all the clubs in the province have worked most faithfully to help alon.g the lines they were n,eeded.

With the return of many -o,C our members from active service away iJ:'om home and the lessening of t.he work for' those at home" the outlook is' m.uch brighter for club work next year.

REPORT OF THETA PROVINCE VICE'-PRESIDENT lui)" I9r9

Theta PrQvince Vice-president submits the following report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

The deta.Bed pIS'DS for war work for the alumol:e dubs made at convention and, which were to be executed during 1918-19 were entirely upset by the signling o( the armistice and the ending of tne war. This lef,t ,the clubs at rather loose ends, Then the terrible influenza epidemic stopped the meetings daring the bll.

I wrote to my clubs and urged them to have a Pi Beta Phi program for tbe year and to make an effort 10 contribute to the Settlement School. I think we ought to ask the clabs for only the n8Jtiona r dues IUld a cOfitri,bution to the school. That is about all they e:m support nationally. There are demands upon them from the nearest active chapter aald usuaUy that is their main interest. Considering aU tne dema,nd s , the club now COosts ench member a.t least fiv'e dollars a year. J.t discourages the dub to be asked for contributions to too many thimgs.

The Ardmore, Austin, Dalla.!;, ,and FayetteviUe Clubs met regularly throughout the year. I could get no answer from t.he Arkansas Clab, but i ,t may hlJ!\'e had meetcipgs. Two new clubs were organized just at t he end of ,the year, New Orleans and Oklahoma City.

One trouble I find is this: While the Province Vice-president asks ,tbe dubs (or tbe national dU,ts and the Settlement School con ,t,ribu,tion, she does not recei ve them; and that is con fusing. The school can lribotioDs are sent to Mrs. Richardson and olten the nation,al dues are sent Miss Stuart. The P 'ro,vince Vice-preside'nt has to wait for the Secr e t ARROW to find out which clubs contribu,ted to the school the year before. I t is embarrassing to suggest the same things to the clubs aJi the time, when the clubs may have already done them. Tbis ought to be straightened out so the Province Vice-presideDt can keep tab on the clubs. J

It seems to me that the next big and iropor ,tant cha"nge i,n the should be thi's. Tho al!umna: club delegates to conven.tiron should have their expenses paid by the fraternity. We shou'ld get the clubs on somewhat the same {oo tin g, as the active chapters. I C3(Jl hear Miss Stuart saying, "Where does she think the mQlley is coming from? That last convention cost terribly." How it would be managed I do not know, but it would be a wonderful stride, forward i.n our organization. The natiolilal alumnre dues might be raised. The club JIt'igilt pay hdl, the nat10nd treasury half 011' a part of the expenses.

I have urged my clubs this year to put aside some of their dues towards sending a delegate to convention. The, ouly one to do anything definite 'as the Austin Club. It voted to put aside one-half the local dues, or about $lO a ye.u, toward this.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

REPORT OF EXTENSION COMMI'ITEE

I919

The Chairman ot the Extension Committee submit. the following report t o the Grand Council of Pi Bcta Phi:

Durin e the past college ,car the committee has had under considerahon application. from local groups in the follow-ini" co Utee! : I. University of Chatt.cooI_, Chattanooga, Tenn.; 2. Florida State Women', College, Tallahassee, Fl •. i 3. University of Maine, Orono, M e.; 4. Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.; s. Washburn College, Topeka. Kan. i 6. Beloit College, Beloit. Wis. ; 7. Mootana State College, BOleman, Mont.; 8. Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, Stillwater, Okla. ; 9. New York Slate Teachers' College. Alban,-, N. Y.; 10. De Pa.uw University, Greencastle. Ind.; 11. Universi ty of North Dakota, Grand Forks, N. D.; and 12. Pennsylvanin Siale College.

Of theR groups, the one at the State Teach ers' College at Alhany, N. Y., does not come under the jurisdiction of Pi Beta Phi, nccording t o the agreemen t of the eighteen conference fraternities. as it is in a professional school. Tbe group, Beta Phi at Cornell University, which bas been sponsored by Dr. Edith Gordon, Ontario A , became on June 14 New York .6 of Pi Beta Phi. The other groups are in various stages of the petitioning process, or rather of the proceu whi cb mayor may not lead finally to permiSiion to present their petition.

Early in the year, the committee, with the advice and consent of the Grand Council, made the following decision in regard to the scholarship of an peti· lioning eroups: before a group shall be permitted to petition Pi Beta Phi, it mu s t have attained for the two terms preceding the presenting of the petition the .tandard whi ch is required of all active chapters.

The Exten sio n Co mmittee feels strongly that Pi Beta Phi ', Cuture policy in the matter of extension s hould be very definitely and une quivoca lly defined. The committee also believes that the method of procedure for petitioning groups could with advantage be sbortened still further. The system which is now in use was developed and outlined hy the former Chairman, Mrs. E. Cordell Sherman, and it h .. limplified and reduced the work, both of th e commi ttee and the group, in a wonderful way. but it is still possible f o r a local group to spend at least an entire college year, and oCten a much l onger time , in corres' pondence and work toward petitioning, before a decisioD ca n be made as to the advisability of permitting the group to petition in a formal manner. The que s ti on of further simplification of the process seeml to be, therefore, worthy of consideration.

The committee l os t a splendid worker early in the year when Blanche Charlton Curtis became Vice president of Kappa Province, but fortunately Ruth Barrett Smith was able to take her place. Mrs. Smith has taken charge oC most of the western IYOups.

The members of the committee would like to take this opportunity to thank those chapter secretaries and fraternity members who have promptly lent in · formation and opinions concerning petitioning groups. I f every Pi Phi will consider herself a member of the Committee on Extenlion to the extent, at least, of writing any member of the committee in regard to any group. she will be of the utmost service to the fraternity.

REPORT OF THE FELLOWSHIP FUND COMMITTEE

Tbe Chairman of the Fellowship Fund Committee submits the (ollowing report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

The Chairman of the Fellowship Fund Committee i. lOrry to report that not very much has been accomplished toward the fund this year. It was with difficulty the chairman took up the work, Dot having attended the coDvention and Dot baving received vcry definite instractions from Grand Council. And owinl to the unseuled conditions this year and the fact that the granting of the fellowship had been discontinued {or the period of the war, the committee has not pressed the work as hard as in former years.

By mistake Adelaide Rothert. rcsignation was overlooked, so that no ODt h •• been appointed in her place and the work in Gamma Province bas been neglected (a. far the Chairman knows). Tbree of the committee: have never been beard from, three others have been heard from, but their report. have not been received. All members of the committee have been written to at lust twice, lome more .

The Chairm.n requested that there be some mention of the fellowship made in the annual examination que s tions. In the Chairman', province the usual letters have been sent to all the clubs and chapters.

The committee is very anxious that this work sbould be a ,ueeen, whieh i. possible only when there is a general response from ,11 clubs and chapters, instead of just the usual few that contribute to the fund. The committee would gladl,. welcome suggestions for ned year. Is there Dot lOme way to ret at this so that all will have a share?

\Vith things getting back into norma.l conditio n now. surely we can contribute to all of Pi Beta Pbi's worthy undertakings-the Settlement School first and the Loan and Fellowship Funds next-without its being. burden to an,. one.

REPORT OF THE COMMI'ITEE ON STUDY AND EXAMINATION

The Committee on Study and Examination submits the following report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

The difficulties of getting w or k darted last fan are too obvious to explanation. This committee was asked to prepare a study for pledges, a. new study for members, and to s upervise chapter study on fraternity matters. The study for pledges wa s mailed to the chapters the first of December It is h oped that the general study, r evised and with new features, will be ready in October. To make this a vital workable referen ce pamphlet for all, not merely a c rammm& aid (or the un de rgraduate , the coope rat io n of officers and chairmen is earnestly desired and letters hav e been addressed to them on this subject.

As to supervised study: from the point of view oC the more or less diso rganized chapters and that of th e members of the committee, several of whom accepted this w ork late in the (all or who have been carrying very heavy responsibilities incident to the war, it was impossible to inaugurate this new work. HereAfter the aim will be to require study al on g definite lines each

year which will do away with the nece ssity for cramming for the examination and will make it fair and possible to .hatten the te st-Kappa Alpha Theta bas tried this for lOme ti me, even doing away with the exa.mination a1together. Chapten may expect, therefore, directions and outlines in Oc tober This work i. being undertaken by authoriuti on of the Grand Council.

It i ••110 hoped that. similar plan for a few interesting topics may be auege.ted to alumo.e clubs and to thi5 end the chai rman i. conferring with the Grand Vice*pre.ident.

For the first time thi s committee undert oo k to run off a pledge examinanon. A. the time wa' '0 limited it was impossible to make co ndition. uniform but each chapter with two or three exceptions where initiation had taken place 01" was to be held immediately, held tests for their pledge I. The queltions were lubmitted to the province examiner who corrected the papers and returned the results. Conliderable data hal been conecled as to whether the chapters have been in the habit of luperviling pledge Itudy and letting questionl to te st lame. Hereafter the member of thil committee for each province together with lOme lpecial1y antbori%ed upperc1 :ul man will s upervise the Itudy and te l t for pledges and DO pledee may be initiated without sbowing fitne ss for membership. This will make it unnecessary (or the new member to take the regular annual exa.mination.

Very fine work has been done by the membera of this c.ommittee all year. The material under the topicl of the pledge Itudy and of the examinatio n sucb as the conltitut io n, biltOry, publication, psrliamentary law, PanheUenic, etc., was prepared by the several members and merely edited by the chai rman who de.irel to erpress her appreciation of the efficient work

The qUeitions of the annual examination are appended. One committee member reports that all her chapters liked It and one that h ers thought it "awful." The committee feels that it was, as usual, too l ong. With the outlines and aid. to be lent the chapters for study next year it will be proper to greatly Ihorten the examination. The chairman would we1c.ome suggestions from the chapler•.

The chairman has addressed frequent letters of luggestio n etc., to the members of this committee and all necessary instructions were sent the chapters. Considerable data has been collected whi ch should prove helpful next year when, with an early sta r t, Ihe committee hopes to be more effective.

Respectfully submitted.

The app arent incompleteness DC the r epo rt is due D O t to the failure of chapters t o le nd in data but to the fact that all a re sult of the infl uenu, some co ll eges omitted the first term while others gave no grades, merely indi c ating pass or fail. For this reason n o attempt h as been made to show a comparative ranking DC chapters for the first te r m of 1918 - 19.

The {raternity average f o r tb e colle ge ycar 19 16- 17 w as 1.25 6 and (or th e coll ege year 19 17 - 18 it wa.s 1.231 For the calenda r y ea r 19 18 it was 1.25 5 and f or the cal end a r year 19 17 1.229. Wh ile the frat e rnity scholars hi p WIl5 lower for the college year 1917-18 th an for the previous period, we find in the report of the cal enda r year 1918 which includes a tenn of w or k u pset by influenza. and S.

Last year most of the colleges did not i ss u e their official scholastic ratings of fraternities , but where s u ch data was obtainable it was found th at although averages were generally lower , th e s tatus of P i Phi was abo ut the same as fo r the previous period.
