OUR PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

ANEW college year is berore us with unlimited opportunities for service and lo yalty to Pi Beta Phi. American colleges and universities have need today of organized groups standing firmly for good scholar,hip, cooperation with college authorities, and the maintenance of high social stan dard s. It rests with the educated women of America to set standards of morals and id ea ls and to lift their associates to them. Particularly does the responsibility faU upon college women banded together in organized groups with ideals of developed womanhood. By their very organization, the chapters of fraternities for women are placed in positions of leader· ship. That le adership should be exercised positively for right example. :M uch can be accomplished in any college by a fraternity chapter with a clear conception for right's sake, which places the ban of its disapproval upon smoking upon the part of college girls; upon make-up; upon immodesty and suggestiveness in dress; upon the emphasis of the physical in dancing, either in posture or in motion; upon careless and unconventional conduct with men; and which places emphasis upon true r efinement with all that the word implies. Each of the sixty-one chapters of Pi Beta Phi should r ealize that it represents a great national organization and has a de6nite program of service and a responsibility to stand for all that is best in its co llege world and for right adjustment to life . Each chapter should endeavor to give to its initiates the spirit of Pi B eta Phi, the national vision, and the z eal to make the chapter r epresenta tiv e of the fraternity at its best. It is earnestly recommended that as early 8S possible in the college year a cbapter meeting be devoted to the serious study and consideration of the initiation ceremony 111ld of the manual for chaper de\'elopment in order that tIle id eals and a..lms of the frat e rnity may be brought beCore the ent ire chap t er and eac h member may be r eminded oC the pledges which she has given to Pi Beta Phi. If each Pi Bet. Phi lives up to the pledges which she has made to her fraternity and if each chapter in its united strength gh'es to its college that rightly directed leadership which is Pi B eta Phi 's id eal for its chapters, the institutions in which Pi Beta Phi is represented will have nuclei of Teal helpfulness in meeting the problems that confront th e m. ANNA LYTLE TANNAIJILL.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS

REPORT OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

By almost unanimous vole of the chapters of J?i Beta Phi the biennial convention which should have been held during the summer of 1920 has been deferred until th e summe r of 192 1. The question submitted to the chapters for their votes was as follows: "Shall convention be held in 1920, the national tPeasury meeting one-half the expenses of the chapter delegates and the chapters the remaining one-half; or "shall convention be deferred until the summer of 1921 at which time it can be financed by the Grand Treasury in acco rdan C4.! with the established practice of the fraternity?"

Extensive work has already been done in preparation for convention. Letters have been sent to all officers and delegates in attendance at the Charlevo ix conventio n requ esti n g information concern ing the points on the 'program which they considered most worth while and Hke to see repeated in the program of the convention, and asking for suggestions regarding matters which should come before convention. Letters have a lso been sent to all officers, chainnen of national committees, and active chapters asking for suggestions from their points of view and information as to p robl ems or policies which they would like to have discussed at convention. At the annual meeting of Grand Council held in Chicago, June 25-July I, the dates and place of the convention of 1921 were decided upon. It will be held during the first six days of July at The Inn, Charlevoix, Mic1ligan. The return to Charlevoix was decided upon for the reasons that The Inn made the fraternity a more attractive offer than that of <l ny other r esort hotel and its adequacy and desirability had been delllonstrated beyond question at the enjoyable conven tion of 1918.

To the Buffalo Alumna! Club, which voluntered to do "convention · shopping," in other words, to gather information regarding places suitab le [or the convention of 1921, and to Miss I-I elen Rosenstengel in particular, > Grand Council and the fraternity are indebted fo r detailed information concerning many resorts and hotels, their rates, advantages, and disadvantages, which was of inestimable value in the settling upon the place best suited in all respects to the needs of the fraternity.

Since the Grand President's last report, prepared early in June of 1919, four new chapters, al1 of which as petitioning groups were presented at the Charlevoix convention, have been added to the fraternity r oll. New York .6. was installed at Corne ll University on June 14 , 1919 , by the ARROW Editor ; Oklahoma B was installed at Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechani cal College on August 12, by the Grand Secretary j Wisconsin H. at Beloit College on August 20 CONVENTION . ........ Charlevoix , Michigan ....... . . July 1-6, 1921

by the Grand Secretary assisted by the GIand Vice-president and the ARRow Editor who were en route to Grand Council meeting in Lincoln , Nebraska, and also by the Alumn., Editor. The most recent chapte r, Maine A, was installed at the University of :Maine on May 25, 1920, by the Grand Vice·president.

A large number of groups aTe now petitioning Pi Beta Phi, of which it is possible that severa I may present their petitions at the next conventio n. A list of these groups will be found in the annual report of the chai rman ot the national comm ittee on exte nsion. Many groups have been definitely discouraged at the outset. In cases where inquiries have been sent to the G rand Presid e nt and the institutions represented clearly did not meet the requirements of Pi Beta Phi or were professional in chara cter, she advised the groups of the futility of petitioning Pi Beta Phi, without refe rring the matter to th e committee on extension.

At the rece nt meeting of Grand Council tIle petitioning group Delta Rho, of Purdue Universi ty, La Fayette, Indiana, was granted permission to prepare its fo rmal petition and was given the endorsement of the Council. The official vote will be called early in th e co llege year of 1920·1921. The case of the petitioners at Purdue is unique in the history of Pi Beta Phi , comparable only to that of Beta Phi of the Oklahoma Agri cu ltural and Mechanical College, which received its charter from Pi Beta Phi in August, 1920 :' Delta Rho is enthusiastically sponsored by the three active chapters in the state of Indiana, by the La Fayette Alumna! Club, and by other alum· nfC clubs in the state. In fact, the entire Pi Beta Phi interests in the state have rallied to its support and have been waging an active ca mpaign in its behalf. Active chapters, alumnre clubs, and interested Pi Beta Phis have deluged Grand Council with letters urging early and favorable consideration for the group. It has also received the endorsement of the Provin ce President and the Grand Vice-president, both of whom have made visits of inspection.

The Grand President )las made to Oklahoma B and to New York A the official visits required by tl}..e constitution, and as dean of women in Beloit College, in which Wisconsin B, the third new chapler, is located has had exceptional opportunities for acquaintance with it. She has also visited officially seven other chapters of the fraternity. Twenty-two c hapters in all have received visits fr om members of Grand Council during the college year 1919·1920.

In acco rdance wi th the recommendations made by Grand Council at its annual meeting in August, 1919 , that each chapter set aside one meeting of the yea r fo r a prog r am on vital health problems, careful programs for su c h meetings were prepared at the request of the Council by Drs. Edith H. Gordon, Ontario A, and Edi th H. Matzke, New York b , who arc engaged in health work among the women

students of the University of Pennsylvania. These programs were mimeographed and sent to every chapter and to tevcry alumnre club.

The graduate fellowship of $500 has been granted to Miss Helen Ingraham, of Knox College. A subscription of $300 has been made to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece. Grand Counci l has deemed it expedient for Pi B'eta Phi to identify itself with this project of advanced scholarship for women, thus rounding out the service of the organization in the field of education . The question of the fraternity's becoming a regular subscriber to this international graduate school will be brought before the next convention. A further piece of educational work carried on by the fraternity has been the assistan ce of a Serbian student at Westhampton College. Virginia. This has been financed by the war fund.

Probably in no year of the history of Pi Beta Phi has there been more extensive publi cation. News editions of the initiation and pledging ceremonies as revised by Grand Council have been issued, as have also a Manual for Chapter Development prepared by the Grand President and the ARROW Editor at the request of Grand Counc il. A Handbook of Pi Beta Phi for fraternity study and a Study for Pledges have been prepared by the national committees on fraternity study and examinations. The H andb'ook and Pledge Study gather in logical and convenient form the information concerning Pi Beta Phi , other Panhellenic Congress fraternities, and the fraternity sys tem and its present position which it is essentia l that every intell igent and well-informed Pi Beta Phi should possess. New ciphers, inclosed for protection in attra ctiv e cases, have been furnished to all chapteTS

. With the object of giving the chapters of Pi Beta Phi a broad vision of the fraternity world at large and a knowledge of the const ru ctive prog rams which college fraternities must definitely undertake if, in the fa ce of the strong existing opposition, they are to retain their places in Americ..1.n colleges and uni versities, Grand Council provided ea c h chapter with a year's subscription to Greek beginning with the December, ]919 , issue. This publication, issued in the interest of the Greek-letter world, is facing the ex.isting situatjon square ly and is publishing a se ri es of strong arti cles b)' recognized fraternity leaders which will be of help and inspiration to college chapters.

When the Grand President's report for the college year 1918-1919 was submitted, Pi Beta Phi was gravely concerned over antifraternity agitation affecting two of her long established and one of her comparatively recent chapters. The day for fraternities has been saved at Swartl1more, Newcomb, and Hollins, provided the can present such a program of service and cooperation as will insure their right to continued recognition. In matters of Pan hellenic adjustment the chapte rs of Pi Beta Phi have been during the COllege year just CONVENTION ..

concluded, notably free fr om difficulties. The most annoying problem which has con fr onted the Council during the year has been the appropriation of the design of the Pi Beta Phi badge by two high school fraternities and one private school fraternity. Steps are being taken. to safeguard the pin in so far as is possible and to put a stop to its use by the secondary fraternities concerned.

'rhe year has marked a number of changes in the personnel of the Province Presidents. Eva Burlingham-Puff, of Alpha Province .. has been succeeded by Roberta Campbell Bowen j Elsa Schlicht -Co nners, of Beta. by Lulu H. Clark; and Treasure Ellis McClymonds. of Kappa. by Josephine Welch

At it1; recent meeting the council received with much regret the resignations of Olive Keller:Lawrence of Epsilon and of Miriam Deming of Delta. Helen Harrington Compton, of Chicago, has been appointed to succeed Mrs. Lawrence in Epsilon . Miss Deming has been informed of the Grand Council decision to waive for the coming year the visits of Province Presidents to the chapters which they have visited for two successive years, and it is hoped that, relieved of this responsibility, she will be able to continue in her wo rk .

The standing committees have all been active and have done effi· cient work, in spite, in some cases, of the serious handicap of many resignations. At the present time the personnel of all committees is complete.

As a whole the year has been a const ructive one, the chief emphasis in the work having been placed upon the development of the individual chapters. The great work before the fraternity is to bring every chapter to a full sense of its national obligations, to a high degree of efficiency, and to a keen realization of its responsibility to its co llege of right l eafiership and ea rn est coope ration.

Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE MEET! G OF GRAND COUNC IL

The annual meeting of the Grand Council was held at the Edge· water Beach Hotel. Chicago. June 26-July I. 1920. The r epo rts of nationa l and province officers and of standing committee chairmen showed that the past year has been one of most gratifyjng internal deve l opment . With much regret the Grand Coullcil, at this time, accepted the resignations of Olive Ke ller-Lawren ce and Miriam Deming, Province Presidents whose splendid enthusiasm and keen insight into fraternity problems have meant mu c h to their chapte rs and to Pi Beta Phi. Greetings from Ontario A, Vermont B, the CONVENTION ... ...... Charlevoix. Michigan . . ....... July 1-6.1 921

Chicago Alumna! C lub, and the A Province house party were much appreciated by the Council.

A comprehensive study of each chapter was made by the Grand Counci l, with the r epo rts of the Province President and the visiting Council member as a basis for constructive c riticism in each case. All chapters falling distinctly below th e standards of the fraternity in any way were ca refully listed, and th e Grand President was authorized to write personally to each such chapte r r eminding it of its responsibility to the fraternity and of the impossibility of Pi 'Beta Phi' s contin uing to allow the privileges of the fraternity to chapters failing to m ee t its responsibilities. The Council recommended that in all cases where a Grand Council member co mes in personal conlact with a chap ter, she meet early in the college year with the Chapter Advisory Committee, get ill'tOll c h with local conditions , and be of all possible help to the chapter.

In con nec tion with the consideration of the report of t he Com mittee on Fraternity Examination, Grand Council voted tl)at any Pi Beta Phi who has been on the Honor Roll at least one time and who has never f allen below a grade of 90% in a fraternity examination be e'C cused fr om the fraternity examination in her senio r year, if she'so desire.

The Council r ecommended that once more the attention of all chapters be called to the following policies of the fraternity in regard to chapte r r espo nsibility towards sisters and daughters, t ransfers, and pledges.

Pi Beta Phi believes that members should be chosen for their own qualifications alone, but that sisters and daughters of membe rs of the fraternity shou l d be given an especial oppo rtunity to prove themselves worthy and should be g r anted by the c hapter every possib le courtesy and co nsideration, Fraternity loyalty demands that tran s fers be shown the cons iderati on which our initiati on pledges promise to every Pi Beta Phi, but transfers must realize the unfairness of expecting from a strange chapter all the privileges of one's own cha pter, the problems of the loca l chapter to whose co lle ge they have come, th e impo ssibi lity always of successfully absorbing a large number of transfers, and their own obligation of proving anew " their worthiness of fraternity privileges.

REPORT OF MEETiNG OF GRAND COUNCiL 17

When a girl has !>een pledged t o a chapter, tha t chapter has a distin c t obligation to her. A pledge should be broken only when a girl fails to meet her co llege responsibilities or to live up to the highest standards of morality, and even then, not without a frank discussion of the situation with the girl herself before the brealUng of the pledge . If after a girl has been pledged a chapter finds that it would not be possible sincerely to conduct an initiation ceremony f o r her because she does not "lit in," the situation should be frankly and kindly talked over with her and her pledge be allowed simply to lapse. Immorality should be followed, of course, by the breaking of the pledge, but simple incompatibi lily deserves more considerate action.

Grand Council voted that, because of the absolute differen c e in the system of grading in force at the University of Toronto, Ontario A oe not included in the tabular reports issued by the Committee on Scholarship but be given a special statement of its standard of scholarship.

In order that every initiation ceremony have the dignity and impressiveness that it should, the Council recommended that each chapler have as few separate ceremonies as possible during the year, holding, whenever practicable, only one initiatioll ceremony and making that, one whose impressiveness would have a lasting influence.

The Grand Council voted that the award of the Balfour Cup, whi c h is to be given to the fraternity by Mr. L. G. Balfour in memory of his wife , Ruth De Hass Balfour , Indiana r , be made upon the following basis:

SO%-Adjustment to college life in all its phases.

2S%-Cooperation with the national fraternity . 2S%-Efficiency of chapter organization and charm and wholesomeness of chapter Hfe.

The reports submitted to the Committee on Efficiency and Standardization for the past year and for the coming year will be used in making the award, and the cup will be presented during the coming convention "'0 the chapter making the highest percentage on the above basis. After 1921 the cup will be awarded annually.

Grand Council voted that all requests for help from tl1e Loan Fund must be favorably acted upon by the Alumn., Advisory Committee concerned and be countersigned by the president of that committee.

Grand Council recommended that, as soon as possible after formal pledging each year, every chapter have a Settlement School meeting, making this meeting an informal reception where mothers (or mothers and fathers) of active members and of pledges may meet the pledges and each other, and where an interesting Settlement School PTogram shall be given to impart information and to a rouse enthusiasm for the CONVENTION

r n order to meet a number of requests for s u ch information, the Counci l voted that the Committee on Loan Fund be asked t o make a compiiation of methods used by co ll ege girls to e-arn money during th eir college course and in vacations.

Because the present regulations governing the dismissal of members seem inadequate, the Grand Council voted that the Constitution be amended by means of substitutions, eliminations, and insertions co veTing this point to read:

Constitution, Article V , Sec. 7. - DISMISSALS.

There shall be three grades of dismissal-acceptance of resignation , ... honorable dismissal, and expulsion, the causes for wh ic h shall be defined by law.

The above Constitutional changes necessitate the renumbering of Sections 7, 8, and 9 of Statutes V, making them Sections 8, 9, and 10.

The Grand Council voted that Statutes IV, Sec. 20 be amended to read:

The especial attention of all chapters is again called to the following ruling regarding invitation to membership: Constitutien , Article V, Sec. 1, a, 3.

No person coming from a college or living in a town where a chapter of Pi Beta Phi is maintained shall be invited to memberCONVENTION .. "" ... Charlevo ix, Michigan .", ..... July 1-6, 1921

ship by any chapter until it shall have consulted the chapter ill the college o r town from which she came.

Violations of this ruling will result in serious difficulty for the chapter guilty of such action.

After careful consideration of a number of locations suggested for convention, Grand Council voted that. for geographic and financial reasons, Pi Bela Phi hold its 1921 convention at The Inn, Charlevoix, :Michigan. Those who attended the 1918 convention will remember with pleasure the splendid convention accommodations of Charlevoix and will, the Grand Council feels, learn with pleasure tJlat the fraternity is again to meet under such favorable co nditi o ns The dales co nvention have been fixed for July 1-6, inclusive. Miss Lillian Freund, Wisconsi n A, of 1656 W est Garfield Blvd., Chicago, wa s appointed Convention Guide and has already begun to work for a sp lendid convention. The following Constitutional changes relativ e to the Convention Guide wefe made:

Constitution, Article II, Sec. 1, Personnel of Convention was amended to include j. Th e Convention Guide.

Statutes J [I, A, Sec. 14, Duties of Convention Guide was amended to include 3. To act, during the interim of conventions, as chairman of a standing Committee on Convention.

Believing that a Convention Song would be a pleasing innovation, Grand Council voted to offer a piece of Pi Beta Phi jewel r y as a prize for the best such song submitted before D ecember 15 , 1920 . A special committee to receive the songs and to award the prize was appointed with Mrs . Flet che r Linn, author of CMn9, as chairman, and Mrs . Burton Beck and Miss Martha Tinker as other members. The song must be written to a well-known, popular air, and must have not less than two nor more than three verses with special stress placed upon a rousing cho r us. The words will appea r in the l\ l arch numbe r of the ARROW so that c hapters and clubs may become familiar with them and may use them to quicken enthusiasm for convention. Mrs Linn's address is 574 Laurel Street, P or tland, Oregon.

A day's conference with Miss Langmaid, chai rman of the Settlement School Board , brought clearly to the minds of the Grand Council the work and the needs of the School. The r eco rd for the past year is one of which all Pi Beta Phis should be very proud. Miss Langmaid reported that Phyllis Higinbotham, Ontario A, graduate nurse from Johns Hopkins, has been secured as r esident nurse for the school for the coming year. ' York on the hospital will he ca rri ed forward as rapidly as poss ihte .

Scien c e and Manual Training. Miss Stuart was elected a member of the Settlement School Board and was appointed Treasurer of the Board. Grand Council voted that the originals of all Settlement S c hool pledge cards be sent to the Settlement School Treasurer and filed by her, and that duplicates of these cards be kept in the files of the P..rovin ce Vice-presidents concerned . Miss Langmaid gave as some of the immediate needs of the s c hool electri c lights, bubble fountain, a lavatory , a Victrola for the Prima,ry room, Victrola records (which because of the breakage of the mails should always be bought through the resident teachers), a soup ladle, table padding, maps, blankets, 3 gridi ron, bedding, and other things for the house. She suggcsted that any club o r chapter wishing to send a Christmas box send the box not later tnan December by parcel post, and after tonsulting the Head Resident as tp the needs of the sc hool. She also emphasized the fa c t that upon consulting Miss Bishop it would often be possible for Pi Beta Phis wishing to visit the school to obtain accommodations at the teachers' residence where the room is free and the board is given at five dollars a week: when a room at the residenc e is not available, room and board may be obtained at the hotel for ten dollars per week. Previous arrangements must always be made wiih the Head Resident if the accommodations of the residence are desired.

Because the time allowed for Counc il meeting was so filled with business, there was no opportunity for any social activities. The Grand Council appreciated greatly, however, the co rdial invitation of the Chicago Alumnre C lub to be its guests at an informal evening reception, and the beautifu l flowers which brightened the hot, tiring days of work.

Blanks for lists of club officers were also supplied to all clubs. (Retiring or resigning secretaries are urged to pass on to their succes""r, all blanks or printed matter belonging to the office. Nearly 50% of the blanks mentioned above failed to reach the new secretaries and so more had to be issued. When paper and prinling are at the present figures we have to be saving of all printed matter . )

An indexed book of notes concerning all alumn", club. had been sta rt ed in which are noted the names of the best workeu and the salient points concerning the individual clubs from the Province Vicepresidents' reports, from personal correspondence and observation. 'rhis is really to be a file of conditions, etc., to enlighten future Grand vice-presidents as well as a ready referen ce for the present incumbent .

A loose -leaf booklet is being made of the Alumn", Club reports from the June ARROWS of '18, '19, and '20, with the three reports of the respective clubs grouped together that the club's progress-or lack of it-may be readily noted.

In January, March, April, and May several trips were made on fraternity business--for which detailed reports have been made . \ Vhenever possible on these trips the Grand Vice -p resident has met with the various alumn;:c cl ubs of the vicinity and has endeavored to help each with its parti cular problems.

For Founders' Day a personal letter was sent each club with an attempt to make each greeting suited to the club receiving it . Several clubs expressed their appreciation of the personal touch on ou r HOay of days."

In Jun e a letter was se nt to all Pi Phis Jiving in foreign co untri es and whose address was known asking for a letter, that when published in the ARROW, might be of aid to Pi Phis planning to travel to these same countries. Already several interesting and instructive answers have been r ece ived . All that answered exp ressed their pleasure at being able to be of some se rvice to the fraternity and th eir pleasure in having even this much personal touch with the organization. Such letters make one wish that e1Jery 'IT isolated or not, could be always conscious of the bond, could always have some touch that would nourish her n enthusiasm. But the question is how to get it. How shall your office r s tender it? The appea l for suggestions that was made in la st year's m essage brought just one reply I and th a t from an officer in the fraternity. W e constantly hear destructive criticism but seldom constructive. 'Vill not those of you that see the weakness in our alumnz organization tell us how to substitute the strength?

THE ARROIV OF PI BETA PHI

club finds difficulty in making its membership include all resident Pi Phis . Many Pi Phis are not members of the local club merel y because they have never been asked in so many words to pay dues-the club itself not knowing just how to get over this stumbling block. Why not send at the beginning of the year to every resident D a slip for her to sign and enclose with her dues, if she desires to be 3. member for the year?

More time can be had for the program and hence more interesting • meetings, if large clubs will adopt the idea of the executive board, that reduces the business to a minimum.

Many helpful hints may be gleaned from a careful perusal of the reports in the June ARROw-for instance the custom of the Chicago Club of electing two of the five officers one year and three the alternate year, the term of office being two years.

At convention in Charlevoix, Mich., next June all clubs will have a chance to tell of their perplexities and to seek a remedy for them at the Round Tables that are to be conducted in the alumnre sessions. It is planned to discuss the large club and the small club, the club composed of members from one chapter, the club composed of many members from one chapter with a few from other chapters, and the cosmopolitan club: the club composed of members living within a short distance of each other and that of members scattered over a wide territory: the club with an active chapter near at hand and the club without one; a central meeting place and meetings in the homes; meetings at luncheon or dinner times, in the afte rn oon or evening, in the mid-week or in the mid-end; best ways of handling the required programs; the alumnre advisory committee, ways of r aising money and incr easing membership; the budget, the program, etc., etc.

Would it be possible for every club to be represented at convention? Between th e Round Tables in sessions and the many informal talks outside we shou ld be able to shape a really const ru ctive policy for the Alumnre Department. Charlevoix, i'l'I ich., is in the midst of a wonderful vacation country with such possibilities for the trip both going and returning that several Pi Phis in every club should plan thei r summer travels so as to include Charlevoix.

The Settlemoot School need not be treated at length in this message for Miss Langmaid ' s report will give you much greater enthusi asm and many incentives for redoubled efforts in its behalf.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SETTLEl\IENIT SCHOOL

the women weJI as tl.e men until late in the fall, so that they have little time for the basketry until all the fall work i!, out of the way. Little weaving W3l'1 done. 'Ve still are trying to find some one who can teach the weaving of the more popular small pieces. J\,lrs. 1\1 a.theny who has had charge of the school weaving at Berea is help· ing us in this search. This will neces",itate the purchase of two or three small looms, costing $4-0 each This size weaves up to two feet in width, and J\liss Rbhop feels that the school girls will take to this work while they refuse to make the hea\oy counterpanes woven in years past by their mothers and grandmothers. The plan is to find a skilled instructor for probauly three months, who can impart her knowledge to on(: of our Pi Phi resident teachers, the latter can then take charge of weaving in the school.

uch neighborhood visi:ing was done Juring the year. \\,hcrc\'er one goes among the homes of Gatlinburg, one affectionate praise for all the Pi Phis who have worked faithfully for the conununity. The residents do not have all the housework to do that fell to tht!' lot of workers in the early days and so they are frl'"e to tramp up and down the "creeks and hollers," after school work is done, whenever weather permits, making friends with the people. A very active part has been taken in the church and in B. Y. P. U. by all the residents. Meetings of B. Y. P. U. were held at the request of the young people, in the schoolhouse during the greater part of the year, and were wonderfully well attended and conducted. ;\1iss Bishop had charge of the nlusic and the other teachers helped in other ways. l\[r. Creswell is a good church worker and his inAuence among the boys and young men is felt. A few parties have heen gi \'en at the residents' cottage and parties and debates at the schoolhouse, not as many nor as \'aried, howe"er, as will he possible after we get our electric lights.

Some minor imprm' cments ha\'e heen made, the boys assisting in the work. r\ stairway was installed, temporarily, in the Stuart Cottage, to make it usable as a hays' dormitory until something more suitable can be provided; the road through the grounds has been gravelled and "stoned" j the field fence with woven wire and gates put up j one or two gates made hy the manual training boys-rustic ones-one of which was placed near the log hridge--the "Leah Stock Bridge." Apple trees and grape vines have been set out; the schoolhouse painted two coats, and all the windows puttied, every bit of the original putty having come off: some windows screened and porches either newly screened or the old sneening repaired. A circular saw has been purchased which not only saws a large amount of fuel for our entire plant but also SCf\'CS as a community asset, when it sometimes is harnessed to the wheel of the family Ford and quickly saws a season's supply of wood. Upon thorough investigation it was found that the factory would require too much capit3l, more than seve r a l

years' builgets, to run it as it should be run, so the machinery was sold to a local group, Mr. C r eswell ancltwo brothers, Lawson Reagan, r . Ownby, et c., and in this way, the neighborhood has another enterprise and several young men are given employment locally . AI present the company is using the old Ephraim Ogle mill and dam until they can afford a hetter lo ca tion, and th ey have filled several orders for pieces of furniture.

'Vheneve r possible to get them in without much, if any, added ex pense. a numuer of vis.its have been made to chapte rs and clubs. Mi ss Bishop, en rou te t o Vermont for her month 's vacation, whi ch by the way, became greatly shortened thereby, made the following: Colul"nbus chapler and club; Athens chap.ter and dub; Cleveland, Akron, and Buffalo clubs; Syracuse dub and chapte r j Rochester club; l\1 iddlebury and Burlington chapters at their Founders' Day in Middlebury; Bosl on, New Haven, New York and Baltim ore clubs. Your chairman enjoyed meeting with Minneapolis and St. Paul Cl u b at their annual Christmas Lun cheon; with Beloit and Detroit at their Founders' Day lun cheons; with Franklin chapter and club; with Indianapolis at a chapte r meeting and a luncheon with club members j and with both actives and alumnre in Madison at the chapte r -ho use Sunday dinner. En route to GatlinQurg in May, at the invitation of Mr. McBrien, Federal Director of Rural School Extension, a talk was g iv en by your chairman on ou r Sett lement School and much interest was shown by the educa tors assembled. This was a t Berea, K entucky, and the occasion was a national conferen ce on rural education. At th e Mo untain 'Y orkers' Conference in Kn oxvil le, early in April, the schoo l was representea. by Miss Stur l ey, Miss Bishop having started on her way N o rth at that time. The cordial hospitality extended to the visitors by clubs and chap t er s was delightful indeed. Everywhe r e Pi Phis showed the greatest eagerness t o do more for the schoo l, and many questions were asked about present conditions and needs . "rhi s next yea r I hope we ma.y be able to make more visits. C lubs and chapters have responded to the ca ll for funds splendidly. \ Ve found upon meeting with them that many clubs now have definite working plans operating throughout the year for the raising of funds-plans which are carried out well. The Cleveland Club, for in stance, sells Royce Goods, has the penny banks for birthdays, etc. , sells the Ch ristmas cards, I believe, and employs other means definitely understood and ag r eed to by its members gene rall y. Results in 1919 .were a contribution of $711, an amount exceeded only by Lincoln's $944 ! Cleveland's slogan is "$1,000 in 1920" and even now a part of this has been raised. Raising funds for the Settlement School is regarded by the Cleveland Club not as a burden but it is done with great joll ity and enthusiasm, and one result is a splendJdly united and efficient alumn", club. Right here may I suggest that every club CONVENTION

ha\Oc a Settlement School Committee, one member of which could have charge of sending to Miss Reisinger the magazine subscriptions; another the pledges, their collection, renewal and soliciting (not overlooking isolated Pi Phis living at some distance, l>erhaps, but within the state) while the third could have the planning of other methods of raising money? Let us remember to have EVERY magazine made through our own agency. Let us get our friends' !o,uhscriptions as well as our own to send to Miss Reisinger. 'Vhil e the amount this year is more than any amount of previous years, it is not anywhere near the sum we can realize through the loyal patronage of ALI. Pi Phis. As soon as you receive your October ARROW, if you have not already done so, make out your list, or th( chapter list, if that is your charge, and send to Miss Reisinger, the sooner the better, to get the redu ctions which are offered for acceptance before the early part of November. 'Vhile 1eporting funds raised. l ast year, it mllst not be forgotten that two Pi Phis have offered to give a scholarship, Mary Anderson, Mi chigan B , of Detroit, Mich., and Ruth Colby, Illin ois E, of Minneapolis. A scho larship covering all expenses of one child for a whole year means practically one hundred dollars. The year of 1920 finds Evelyn Bishop still serving as head resident, much 10 our satisfaction and that of the people of Gatlinburg. Helen Chew, Ohio A, is principal j Marie Ditmars, Indiana A, who taught at Gatlinburg in 1914 - 15 , now has the intermediate grades j Emily Burton begins her fourth yea r with the "least ones u j and Mr. eresweI] will tea ch manual training and agriculture; Mrs. Creswell take!) charge of the domestic economy work, both classroom and general, and teaches some of the school subjects, in ord er that the high school subjects needed may be' offered. Mr. and Mrs. C r eswell, togeth er, will give the full tim e of one teacher. H is work with the mill demands half his time, so he is working on half pay, as compared with last year, for the present. He may find it necessary after this year to give full time to the mill, in which case we shall need another man to fill his position. If any Pi Phi knows of a man quaJified for the place and the work of boys' leader, please communicate with your chairman. It is a difficult position to fill. Mr. Creswell is well fitted for the various phases of the position so we hope we shall not have to lose him. Miss Burton's summer was spent in Italy which delayed her return to the school. Lillian Frantz. New Yo rk A, took this occasion to visit the Settlement School and help out in the absence of Miss BuTton, during her two weeks' delay.

It is a great pleasure to report, after a year's efforts, that a nurse, Phyllis Higinbotham, Ontario A, has been engaged for next year or for as long as we can finance this work. We must do it in some way, for her services are so mu ch needed. She will receive a salary of $75 per month and expenses, which we all r ecog nize is less than she co uld CONVENTION Charl ev o i x , M ichigan _ July 1-6, 19 2 1

Land is a necessity. I had hoped we might purchase some adjoin-ing pioces this last year hut the wherewithal was 110t available. Someone has suggested that the Pi Phi husbands be given the opportunity to furnish for the purchase of more land! Others have mentioned the thank offering whenc\'cr a little new Pi Phi enterti the wor1d. Some of the cluhs who have' c:xpressed the desire to do solnething "individual" perhaps can work up one of these plans-or somt: other. Really, we are hoping for some large contriuutions, in addition to the duh and chapter contributions to the annual budget. There are many generous philanthropists, I am told sometimes, who would he glad to put money into our school where results, with loyal, purt!-hred American people, will justify its expenditure. I f any Pi Phis know of such, wlw not place before them the opportunity?

The basement should be fiilished. This [ill it is the intention. to finish eHavating, concrete the floor and build in full length windows. This will fumish a place [or games on rainy days, [or the children to eat their lunches, and for the meetings that cannot be held upstairs in the schoolrooms. Then as finances permit. it may be decided feasible !.o install the domestic economy equipment. and serve here the hot lunch, or the one nutritious dish to supplement the lunch brought from home, of which 1\1 iss Bishop keenly realizes the need . A lavatory should be installed so that the children can wash hands before the noon lunch is eaten. I.ater on, as funds permit, another portion of the basement space can bt fitted up with showe r s to meet another community need.

Sanitation demands a hubble fountain. Is there a Pi Phi who desires to give one?

Considerable fencing still is needed-a minor need. to he sure, iJut one which would he appreciated hy "Dan," uJerz/' and the Pi Phi pigs. Also the meadow helow the garden and the lane should l>c tiled. has offered to hear a part of this latter expense since his lanel will be benefited.

E lect r ic lighting has been investigated this past year and it is about decided to install the Delco system. Under present prices of the supplies it will be expensive, but lights are our most immediate need, and the Tennessee managers of this sp;tem assure the school the Oest in every way. \ Ve had hoped that the power at the new factory could be utilized but that seems inadequate. I t looks now as though it wou l d he to install the entire plant including the engine. The cost, for all the buildings and grounds, complete, approximates $2 000. The chairman expects to be in Gatlinburg during the month of Octobe r for the purpose of supenrising this installation.

Pi Phis frequently ask for some individual work or gift fo r the Settlement School, beside the regular contributions to the budget. Perhaps a list gi\'en here will not he out of place. There are needed, CONVENTION ..... . ... Charlevoix , Michigan ......... July 1·6, 192 1

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

as mentioned before, two small looms, a bubble fountain, a school victrola., also educational records, including the folk games and patriotic songs, blankets, mattress pads , both single and double bed size, sheeting and pillow tubing, towels, table linen and table padding, rags for weaving into rugs, good pictures are needed for the schoo lroom , preferably reproductions of the masterpieces, a bolt of cot ton doth suitable for making into nightgowns for the little gir ls who have to stay ove r night in bad weather. Tea c hers would appreciate postcards from the principal cities and histori c places. Books always aTe acceptable. A set of new maps must be bought this year, if new boundaries are sufficiently established. Pi Phis before deciding upon any of these gifts shou ld consult Miss Bishop in o rd er to avoid useless duplication. Christmas boxes sent by dubs or c hapters thi s year will be more certain of reaching the School in time if they are sent parcel post-as freight and express are very uncertain and much more likely to go astray-and during the first week of December . If in doubt as to what gifts will be best liked by the boys and girls, write Mi ss Bishop. She will he glad to make suggestions.

Reprints of the history published in the Jun e ARROW were made by Banta Co. and can be obtained from the chairman. There are available, also, cop ies of some of the pictures fr om the same issue, which clubs and c hapters can have for their Settlement School progr3.ms if they desire them.

Last year 's work in school and co mmunity was very good. "V ith the r etention of four teachers experienced in Gatlinburg work, and the good foundation al r eady existing, next year promises improvement and development. Neighborhood interest and a spi rit of cooperation seenlS on the increase. Good schools are being established in adjoining COm mUl1ltICS. One, within ten or twelve miles, although just begun this s umm e r , already has a co rps of tea che rs, two hundred acres of l and, a nursc, hospital and auditorium und er const ru c tion, electric lights, etc. Although not far away, it cannot infrin ge upon our territory t o any extent in SO mountainous a co untry , but it can infringe upon our prestige. So, it behooves us, as loyal Pi Phis, jealous of ou r nation - wide r eputation as pioneers among fraternities in this field of settlement work, not to be satisfied with ou r good but small beginning! \V e must have land and buildings , equipment , and endowment fund, in order to furnish opportunity not alone to those children for whom our present plant provides, but to those seve r al hundred more living within a r adius of a few miles. Dormitories are the only solution for many of these.

Shall we not try for the big gifts of money this year as well as the usual club contributions? And shall not each club resolve, as plucky <;)eveland has, to make next year's the biggest ever? Also , each chapter pledge to forego, as did our loyal Delta Province, an occa-

Melinda Stuart, acting treasurer of the Settlement School, is now a member of the Settlement School Committee and will have charge of finances this year. Mrs . Richardson will continue to assist her as she has this last year, but all money, plooges, etc., should be sent, whether by Province Vice·presidents o r individuals, directly to Miss Stuart rather than t o Mrs. Richardson. This greatly facilitates the treasurer's work. May Keller still has cha rge of teachers' applications and Kate Miller of the Endowment Fund.

If any errors appear regarding club or chapter o r individual gifts please notify your chairman promptly. We desire that full and proper credi t be given for all the generous and loyal support of the past year.

TilE ARROlV OF PI BETA P H I ,

A WOM E N'S DOR M ITORY I N ATH ENS

}\{any American women who have studied in forei g n CO Ull tries will recall that one great hindrance in the inauguration of their work was the difficulty in finding a suitable residence. They will therefore regard it as a significant mark of progress that the American School of Classical Studies at Athens is directing definite effort to the estahlishing of a dormitory for women who may be ill attendance at the school.

Such a building will offe r comfortable li\'ing quarters for a limited number of women and. will relie"e them of the necessity of paying high tra n sient rates during a long r esidence in Athens .

"["he ground [or this donnitory has already been secured and the ere c tion and maintenance of the building have been listed among the ohjects for which "The AuxjJiary Fund" is being raised.

There h3s been some feeling that the women's colleges of the country should undertake this project to give to American women enlarged opportunity for graduate study. But the Board of Djrectors of the A uxiliary Fund Assoc iation desire to have the interest of representati\'c women from all sections of the country. They were therefore parti c ularly glad to receh'e a handsome subsc ription of three hundred dollars per annum from the Pi Beta Phi National Fraternity. The' officers of this organization, onscious of increasing financial responsibility for the grow i ng Settlement School which is entirely supported by the fraternity, were at first not unanimously in favor of incurring a new r esponsibility at this time, But the final vote of the council was unanimous in its endorsement of the project and the pledge was accompanied by an enthusiastic l eller from the p resident of the o r ganiza t ion concluding with the words, " I have been very eage r t hat P i Beta Phi shou l d a ll y itself with t he movemen t . 1n my opinio n the f r aternity could n ever hope to have p r esented an advance schola r ship project of g r eater worth or appropriateness."

Some idea of the pu r pose of the school and of its special sen'ice rendered during the war may be obtained from the following excerpts f rom recent reports.

"The American School of Classical Studies at Athens was founded by the Archaeological I nstitute of America in I S81. and is supported by the cooperation of leading American niversities and Colleges. It is in charge of a Managing Committee, and its property is yes ted in an incorporated Board of ' T'rustees,"

uThe primary aim of the s c hool is, of cours e, to maintain and extend a better knowledge of the ancient language, literature, art, and civilization in our American schools and colleges For nearly forty yea r s our professors and students have been going in a steady stream to A thens for a year or more of study , and hundreds of these now occupy positions of influence throughout the United States."

"In addition to its regular work the school has recently had an exceptional opportunity to render a service to the Greek people. When the American Red Cross sent a special Mission to Greece, in 1918, ... the School placed its building and per;onnei at the dispo5al of the Red Cross. The school became the home of the Commission, and its professors gave themselves unresen'edly to the extensive work Qf relief that was ca rried on The man in cha rge of this :\1 jo;;sion Wil"i Colonel Edward Capps. of Princeton University, who was formerlya member of the school and is now :\Iinister to Gret.."Cc."

"The Auxiliary Fund Association for the. upport of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens is an organization whose Qbject j" to unite all the friends of the School, and to win new friends for it, for the purpose of increasing the resources of the school in practical coope ration with the Managing Committee of the school."

A MESSAGE FROM OU R P ANHELLENIC DELEGATE

(The annual report of the Panhellenic Delegate made to Grand Council in June was too detailed for publication so the following points have been selected from it for TilE ARROW.-F.DTTOR.)

All national Panhellenic fraternity chapters are expected to keep before tht! attention of their members the legislation regarding Hi gh School sororities and fraternities and to obey the re gulation strictly. This means that no college student who became a member of a high school sorority or fraternity after January , 1916, may be pledged to Pi Beta Phi or any othe r P anhellenic otganization. The officers of N. P. C. intend to enforce this rulin g and al1 Pi Beta Phi chapte r s a r e requested to report to Miss Keller, Panhellenic and to the Grand President any infringement of this rul e taking place in their institution. A11 alumnre and alumnre Panhellenic representatives are r eminded of this ruling and urged to take a firm stand wherever there may he any question of its enforcement.

Du r ing 1919-21 the question of preceden ce in Panhellenics was again raised and settled as fol1o\\'s by the executive committee of CONVENTION Charh:vo ix, Michigan .. . .. .. .. July 1-6, 1921

N P. c.: "The date of installation as a chapter of a national organization, not the date of the founding of the local is the one thnt gives precedence in Panhellenk."

All chapters are reminded that each chapte r is required to send a report annually to the ational Panhellenic Delegate. Only six chapters obeyed this ruling this ye..1.T. Failure to comply with the ruling in the future will lower t.he rating of the chapter in the recorns of the committee on Standardization and E.fficiency.

PUBLIC

OPINION

AND THE F R ATERNI T IES

A IJI STORY OF

l\!OVEMENTS AND Tilt-! LESSONS TO BE DRAWN FROM THAT HI STORV

(An intereliting feature of Grand Council Meeting was the reading and discussion of the Report of the Standing Committee on Public Opinion to the Eleventh Interfraternity Conference, 1919. The fact that the chai rman of the committee making the report was the late \Vlllter B. Palmer, who, next 10 )1r. B:lird, is the most often quoted authority on fraternity questions, gave the conclusions unusual weight. The report is too lengthy to reprint in entirety but the (ollowing digest has been made by the Editor (or the benefit of the chapters, at the request of Grand Council.)

Fraternities are now nearly a century old. At practically all times they have been on the defensive. They were founded primarily for the cultivation of friendship, also as an in centi ve to scholarship and to)nculcate principles of sound morality. But tJ'ley were founded as secret societies. The times and places of their meetings were kept secret and there was secrecy about thei T proceedings and purposes, This secrecy aroused the antagonism of (I) students, (2) faculties and (3) the public.

( I ) Students who were not members were naturally jealous of those who were, They felt that not being asked to join the societies implied that they were considered inferior, They resented this discrimination. . . . Greek-letter men called themselves Greeks,. but they did their incalculable harm by styling non-members ubarbarians," a term o f reproach that provoked retaliation, This the fraternities did not h3\'e sense enough to realize for fifty years or longer.

(2) Faculties objected to the new organizations mainly because they apprehended the societies would subvert thei r own legitimate authority . . . They relt that their regulatory authority had betn or would be challeng·ed. Therefore, they considered it their duty to prohibit these upstart organizations which was done at many institutions .

CONVENTION .. ....... Charlevoix , M i chigan ......... July 1- 6, 1921

(3) The public was much opposed to sec r et socie ti es of all kinds beca use of the g reat outc ry raised against the Order of Free Ma sons whi ch a r ose in 1826 , a year afte r K appa Alpha was founded . An political party was formed in the East and was a factor in th e campaigns of 1828, '30 , and '32. Th e o u tcry against all su ch o r gan izations was so vehement th a t Phi Beta K appa was compe ll ed by puhlic opinion to expose its sec r ets in 183 1 when it had fiv e active chap t ers and did not establish another chapte r until 1845 . F r om 184 1- 5 1 th e re was more o r l ess publicity against fraternities throu g h periodicals and t racts and gene ral hostility was manirest ill ce rtain Eastern colleges and a few W este rn institutions down to the time of the Civi l War. Pri or to that time, there was practically no instance of fr ater niti es being opposed by either faculty o r students in Southern co ll eges.

AFTER THE C I V IL \ VAR

At the close of the war interco lJ egiate fraternities were f o rty years old, and th e strength they had gained was appa r ent. It was slow l y r ecog ni zed by college authorities and the public ge ne rally that they had some good points. They had high li te rary standards, the leading honor men in th eir classes were fr aternity men and many st r ong cha ra cters were developed in the o r ganizations. These men went f o rt h t o occupy hi gh public positions ; many of the professo r s in the Eastern co ll eges were fraternity m e n and boards of trustees a lso r ep re sented fraternities SO that the o r ganiza ti ons had many friends among tho se in autho rit y.

Th e battle f o r fraternities had been won in th e East but co nditions were different in the \ Vest and South where they were tahoo at many institutions.... Yet year by year, the Greeks gained in n um be r and influ e nce and at the close o f the nineteenth centu r y in many colleges where fraternities had had a precarious foo ting th eir position became secu r e Then, in t he closing years of the century , a wave of populism \ swept the count ry Unde r P opu list influ ence many radi ca l measures wer e enacted including, in 1897, "an act to prohibit Greek -lett e r fraternities or any orga nization s of l ike nature in s tate institutions" in South Carolina. This enactment was th e worst blow that fraternitit"S ever r eceived, not on ly on account of its devastating efi'l.!c t in South Ca r o lina but beca use o f th e exa mpl e to ot her s tates Simi lar legislation was proposed in othe r states and in 1912 an enactmen t p rohibiting secret societies like G r eek - l ette r fraternities was passed by the s tat e o f Mi ssissippi. U nwisely, perhaps, for the ca use of fraternities, a test case under th e act was appealed to the Sup reme Court of the United States which, in 1915 , upheld the decisio n of the s tat e s upr eme co urt.

Durin g the years 1912 · 16 there was anti fraternity ag itation for s imilar enactments in a number of sta t es. ' Vhat would have hap-

lkl1cd by this time had it not been for the world war, nobody knows Now a year after the ation of hostilities, but with many problems born of the war &till unsolved, we are apparently facing a new era in our economic and social life. It may be that OUT educational institutions and the fraternities with them will be profoundly affected by impending changes. A 11 we can safely sunnise is that Qur dvilization, our institutions, will be more democratic than they have heretofore been. The fate of fraternities in slate institutions rests on the knees of the gods.

In the East conditions as to fraternities are peaceful, as they long have been. But in the \V est or South a violent outbreak against fraternities may commence again at any time, and like fire in the heather may spread rapidly from state to state. There mJ..\.';t be a cause of the difference in this respect between the East and the other sections of the country. The agitation against fraternities in the \V est and South has originated, not among university trustees or professors, but among students or young alumni who had failed to secure elections to fraternities. 'The plain facts are that the Eastern colleges are well filled up with fraternities. but that in \V estern institutions there are not enough fraterniti(!s to go around among the students. State universities and colleges have grown much faster than fratemities ha\"e in the West.

EXCOURAGE ESTABLISHMENT 0)0' CHAPTERS

If they are to preserve their intimate social life, chapters cannot be made larger than they arc now, but to satisfy the social longings, and really the social needs of the students, Ihe chaplers already estabshould ellcourage tile organizaJiOfl 0/ local societies anti tlll'll (,flcoltrage them to apply for natio!l(r/ fralernities lor charlers. The constituted authorities of the fratemities should not adhere to the conservatism of the last century, but shollid be liberal grallting char/rrs This committee most earnestly urges that this policy he adopted, and believes that it could not make any more important recommendation. It is human nature for persons to be dissatisfied when they see othe r s enjoying benefits or pleasures which to them are denied. When there are chapters for eighty or ninety per cent of the students of 'Vestern institutions, practically all that wish fraternity affiliations will he able to obtain them. The talk about fraternities being undemocratic will then quiet down, agitation wi ll cease, and there will be no danger of anti fraternity bills being int Toduced in state legislature.

Never before was there greater necessity for fraternities to be on their best behavior and to act ' with wisdom and sound discretion. Cftap l l'r lile should be made exemplary.

KEEP Up SCHOLARSHIP

Unceasing effurts sho uld be Inade to improve the grade of scholarship a/members. Older members should be individually assigned to encou rage and aid backward underclassmen in their classroom work.

Dearing in mind the need of circumspection in these c riti ca l tirn es, fraternities should do nothing to bring fhemsel'l.'u illlo unellviable lIotoriely Chapters should cultivate econ o my and not enter into sense· less rivalry in giving expensive entertainments.

CIIRISDIAS, sixty -one meml>ers of our si,ty -one chapters will have lJeen honored with election as Convention delegate. ro these girls, THE ARROW offers a word of guidance.

The honor which comes to you in your election is one which entails many responsibilities. It will be your duty not only to interpret your Own chapter correctly at Charle\'oix but to prepare yourself so thoroughly on the business of Convention that you will be able to discuss Convention issues intelligently and vote wisely on Convendon questions You should COllle with a full knowledge of your chapter's attitude on proposed legislation but unbound in regard to vote, so that you may have an open mind and vote according to your own convictions when opportunity is given. Your chapter owes you this confidence jn your judgment.

Your greatest responsibility, however, comes after Convention is over. 1t is your duty then to return to your chapter in the fullest measure possible the information and inspiration which you have received and until the next Convention you should always strive to give to your undergraduate sisters a true conception of the spirit and ideals of our national organization.

This is a large program and one which chal1enges the finest qualities of OU( finest girls. These are the girls whom our chapters should selec,t for connntion delegates.

I'm not rich-a high school secretary-but I feel this money has been doubly well invested in its r eaction on the chapter and in its use to the school itself. I wish an attempt might be made to repeat this plan in all Our chapters.

REPORT OF EPSILbN PRO\' I:-WE PRESIDENT

Epsilon Provin ce Presid eOl s ubmits Ihe following report to the Grand Co uncil of Pi Beta Phi : Chap ter vi s its in the province were made during the month of N o\'emher. I spent thr ee delightful days with each groUI>, and wi s h tp thank them all for th e splendid spirit of cooperation, and the cordia l mann er in which my vi s its \\ ' ere received.

I also had the pleasure of spendi ng my three days in Beloit at Mrs Tanna · hill's home. Can you imagine a greater hel» than being able to t:tlk over all of your problems with our Grand Presi den t? I only wish that all Pi Phis might come in personal tou ch with our Grand Officers. One gains s u c h a sp lendid idea or the bigness of the nati onal organiution through their br03d view point.

Taking eve rything into conside ration, I feel that the chapte r s h tu'e been much more s u ccess ful this year than la s t. Conditions in the educational world lire more stttltd, and although e\' ery in sti tution is c r owde d, thing s seem to be more normal.

I am hoping to see a big improve ment in scholarship in the Province report for this year. Two c hapters that were weak have ma de s tr enuous efforts to bring up their record s. The advisory boards cn n be a help in this, as well as numer ous other ways ZHany of them exist in name only: it is most aggravat · ing (or a visiting officer to have to round up the board, explain their work to them and beg th e m to t a ke some active interest. !-Ier s h ort thr ee days' stay rea ll y does not permit this She o u ght to be able to get valuable information fr o m them regarding the chapter'" progress, instead of having to organize and in s truct them.

The almost insane rushing periods that exist in some o f the coll eges seems 10 me to be a good argument against women's fraternities. In two of th e larger co ll egt's in this Provin ce , the mon ey spe nt und th e tax on the phystcnl and mental strength of the girls was unbelievable. It resulted in hard feelings and fa c tion s i n one case. Th e girls 3re not themselves and are n ot responsible for "" , hat they say I urged them to stand for Il longer period of rushing, more simple parties and less expense. The mad three or four day rushing period is a disgra ce to the whole frat e rnity system.

The social life and habits of fraternity girls is something which needs strict slIpe rvisi on So many of them do not realite that a Pi Beta Phi cannot a ct alone. They are ca reless about the little things and bring cr iti c ism, not only UI >o n themseh' es. but upon the other girls in the c hllpter. Th e house c haperon pla).s an important part in th is mailer and should be very ca refully chOSe n.

I wish that the active girh might bKome more intimately acquainted with the wo r k of the Settlement School. The majority of them do n ot seem to r ealize what hu been nccomplished there by the earnest, h a rd work of so many of our alumnre

As a whole I feel that this :'I'ear the girls of Epsilon Province havt' wor:C!d hard to I trength e n their c hal Hers There are some that are slill wenk, but I hope to see a bigger improvement next year.

REPORT OF IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Tota Provin ce President submits the following report to the Crand Council of Pi Beta Phi :

W e have been asked for short reports so I shall condense as much as possible.

My work in the province has been & real joy to me this year as it has been possible for me to visit three of the four chapters more than once 1 know most of the girls by name and have a keen interest in them individually as well as collectivel y.

The inspiration given to the chapters at the time of her visits last year by Mrs. Tannahill has been lasting and the results may now be felt in a ll of them . T say felt because mu ch of benefit that has been realized is in that intangible thing called spirit.

Conditions have been unusual in all of the univ ers i ties on account of t11e great influx of students last fal l. The class rooms have been crowded. equipment for laboratory work has been insufficient, and the faculties have been overtaxed . These conditions have of course re Rected upon the scholarship. Closer grading has made it difficult to judge if tht chapters have really advanced i n scholarship. However in every chapter a si ncere effort has been put forth to imp r ove the standing and T am sure it is higher, even though the act u al averages m ay not show the gain this year. The comparative standi n gs have not been given out by the colleges for this year thus far excepting i n Wash i ngton State Co ll ege. W ashington B holds fi r st p l ace on the honor ro ll in this coll ege.

The report from the co mmittee on Frate rn ity Examinat i ons for the province was "tr,v grati fying. Washington A deserves great credit. She made a gain of ten points over l ast year. Twenty minutes was devoted to fraternity st u dy for several months at each meeting. This method will be used again next yea r.

All chapters were very successful in thei r selections of new members, few b ids were lost to rivals Two colleges use the preferential system of bidding and it i s impossible to know to which riva ls bids have been lost.

Washingto n A and Oregon A have been unfortunate this sprinj:t', both fraternity houses h sve been so l e! and it has been difficult to sec u re adequate home,; for the coming year. It wi ll be necessary to maintain annexes in both' cases. Building was comidered but economic conditions are too unsettled at present to undertake su ch large projects

\ Vashington A and Oregon B must seek new house mothers. as Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Palmer were forced to leave on account of serious illness. They were loved by the girls and alumnae and it will not be easy to fi ll their p l aces .•

All chapters have been well represented in college activities, and some exceptional honors have been won, but too much space is required to specify these honon

The Phi Gamma locs.! at the Montana State College which hopes to obtain a chatter of Pi &la Phi I;' raternity has been visited by l a ta Prov ince President. and the report sent to Mrs. Tannahill.

I have found the archives in good condition in every chapter.

The chapters in Iota Province are working hard to make their ideals, social standards and scholastic' standings worthy of the great f r aternity of which they are a part, and by another yenr they hope to rank. high among siste r chapters on the scholarship honor roll. •

Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Kappa. Province President submits the following report to the Grand Council Qf Pi Beta Phi:

Each chapter in K!lppa Province has been visited. The fact that I was in ctJllege until April and fully :lcquainted with every problem of California A made an ollicial visit seem unnecessary. T also had the advantage of knowing most of the California D girls so that the three days' visit at Berkeley was very informal. The visits to Nevada A, Arizona A and California r were delightful and inspiring. Except for Mrs. Tannahill's visit last" year these three chaptHs had had 110 otl'icial visitors since their install!ltion aJ.1d their enthusiasm and sp irit of cooperation assured me that their handicaps of isolation and lack of national supervision could be overcome.

At Nevada, :l very small chapter of nine members, made any internal fraternity development very difficu lt. The ru shing season of one semester prevented any increase until pledging in February. The girls realized that the chapter was too small but they felt that the available material in the university was not s ufficient this year though there is only one other national. Tn addition the local Panhellenic sch·o larship requirement of "BI> average for fre shmen prevented the plerlging of several girls otherwise desirable. In cidently, Pi Beta Phi was the on ly organization which reacbed the standard set for the freshmen. The rushing conditions have room for improvement. Tri Delta is the only other national in Panhellenic. The college is small and the entertaining is increased by the efforts of each organization to equal the other. I feel that a short rushing season or the other extreme of a yea.r would help the situntion very much. I tried to impress on the chapter the possibilities of successful rushing along simple lines, with more reliance on the national organization coupled with increased activity in campus affairs. Nevada A was well represented in campus activities this ye;n and her scholarship as usual was the highest of women's organizations of the university and of the chapters in the province. '

Internal fraternity development in Arizona. A has been difficult because of the scattered living conditions but this will be obviated in the fnll when they will have a lovely chapter house wbich they have leased. The problems in connection with running a house are many and I tried to anticipate some of them for the girls. The whole tone of a fraternity house for years often depends on the atmosphere it acquires in the first year and the girls saw how much this depended on securing the right chaperon to help them get started. The political situation among fraternities at the University of Arizona has worked great l y to Pi Phi's disadvantage For several years most of the campus h onors for women were won by Pi Phis. This ca used a political combination of fraternities to work for the defeat of any Pi Phis running for a campus office. I advised the girls to withdraw from elections until this spirit had changed at the expense of nOI securing any offices . I n speaking before Panhellenic T tried to emphasize the lack of national viewpoint on the part of both men's and women's fraternities in using their organizations to defeat the besl interests of the university by allowing petty politics, rather than true worth

There is no university regulation of entertaining and it i IUlrd on the Pi Phi girls to have to stand alone in rdusing to entertain during the week when all othe r fraternities both entertain and attend social fUllctions during Ihe week. Scholarship and frater-nity meetings both suffer greatly, I believe. if Monday night and mid - week entertaining is allowed. A long conference with the Dean of Women gave no definite assurance as to when the univ e r si ty would assume any responsibility for chaperonage of fraternity dances. h ouse- rule s or r eg ulations. Until then tht: chapter and the Advisory Commillee will have 10 assume the responsibility. These prob l ems were discussed in detail at a meeting with the Advi sory Committee and three of the chapler officers and I feel sure that th e re will be every cooperation with the committee on the part of th e c ha pte r ail they realize their obligation to our national. The six teen new memberll taken into the chapter this yenr will have to make every effort to help the few older girls and to acquire a nationa l viewpoint. Pllnhelleni c conditions are far from sntisfllctory Kappa Alpha Theta, the strongest rival, will not stand with Pi Phi in securing constructive legislation. The chapter has made great progress in securing pledges for their house-fund; they are gradually collecting lo\'ely furni l hings. The freshmen presented the chapte r with a. beautiful mahogany table. The chapt e r has taken active part in all the unh'e rsity affairs.

Califo rn ia B had a. very large chapter of fifty ·five girls The c hapter and the :alumnre agreed that it was too l arge for the best interests of the girls or the fraternity. Eve ry effort will be made this fall to se lect the incoming freshmen with very great ca re. Conditions at the University of California. necessarily result in a brger c h apte r than customary because of the very large freshman class, the number of s islers and transfers, but there must be some limit or fraternity develop m ent will s uIT e r D esp ite the large c hapter California B ranked seco nd in the province in schola r ship. Upperc1ass meetings and the freshman study table have been effective m eas ures. The Chapter Advisory Com mitt ee with Mrs. H o l way as chni rmnn is a \'e r y great hel p to the chapte r.

California A ha..s had a very successful year. only disturbed by the general fraternity s ituation nt Stanford University. Th ere has been no new deve l opment since I:(st fall when Dr. Wilbur announced that when university buildings could be provided Ihe women would be required to live in them. Wh en that will be .is very indefinite and in the meantime fraternities are doing everything to strengthen th ei r pla ce in the university life so :1S to more fully j u stify generally who are m:1king every efTo rt to retain the prese nt system. California A came up to fourth in camp us sc h ola r ship last year above a ll her ri vals; I think this year's re por t will find more improvement. The c hapter is more generally in C:1mpus activities thnn ever before The re ce nt bridge pariy and dance, given for the Settlement School c leared $100.

One q ue s tion which is causing trouble with most every Pan helleni c is the ruling as to members of high school frat e rnities. At the University of So uthern California my interpretation, whi c h is th e result largdy o f discussion with Mrs. Treftt, past Grand President of Delta Gamma, differed substantially (rom that whi ch th e Grand President of Kappa Alpha Thela had given a few weeks before. The question was wh et her a fraternity in a private boarding school was within the rule. 1 believ e it is-but the rule leads . "lIigh school, public or private" and was interpreted by Kappa Alpha Theta President t o not mean a boarding school. CONVENTION

REPORT OF BETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Beta Provin ce Vice-president s ubmits the following report to the Crand Connci l of Pi Beta Phi:

Bela province h as had seven active clubs during the past year. On account of the great dist:mces between Ihe of the Ohio Gamma Club (all Wooster alumnre) they have not been able to hold any meetings at nil, but the members will meet in June when the alumme come to \V oosler (or Comme n ce-

Probably a ll but Iwo membt:rs of this club belong to the club near which they are l oc::ated and pay dues and Settlement School contributio ns through it.

Athens Club has held meetings this year and seems to have renewed its spirit and enthusiasm One new cl ub hak been formed in Dayton, Ohio, largely through the efforts of the Province President, Miss Clark. A first meeting has been held in Wheeling, West Va., and I h:lVe hopes that an enthusiastic club will pe l ocated there by next year. I have also been in cor responde nce with Pi Beta Phis in Central and Southern New Jersey concerning a club but no p l ans have been made.

Dues have be:en collected from 289 members, an iacrease of probably 40 Settlement School fund, have greatly increased due l argely to tbe sale of Ch ri stmas cards. The province sent in $477 .05 la s t year and I know there is $ 1, 575 for 1920 from seven of the ten active clubs. I have not received the Sett lemen t School amounts from the other three clubs. Cleveland Club had a splendid cont r ibu tion of $711 with a membership of 40. The fellowship Fund was also better s up ported this year. Forty-one dollars and fifty cents in Settlement School pledges was received from si :. teen isolated and contributions of $30 from five people. I think the Settlement Sc h oo l folders helped in securing these pledges.

Phila.delphi a Club hu enj'lyed receiving letters from two French orphans. It i" adopting them ag3in, having rai sed the necessary $72 by selling moving picture tickets. The Advisory Comnliltee of this club has offered a prize to freshman of Penn sy lvania A who raises her marks th e most during the second semester The chapter must keep their scholarship on top for the last semester of 1920 and they will have the Pan hellenic cup

I have urged w ork for the Sett l ement Sc hoo l particularly this year I'm h oping these clubs will give at least the same amount next year as I'm lure none will want to £nil back. I 'm planning to urg e means of having each club r ep re sented by :l Convention delegate.

I REPORT OF GAMMA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Due to the resignation of the former vi ce·president of Gamma Provinc e in the month of September, it was necessary to make another nppointment, :lOd I was asked to assume this responsibility.

The Alumnre Clubs of Gammll Province have enjoyed a most successful year. The Washin gton Club, with its fifty-nine paid members, has resumed its pre-war condition. 1Ilany out-of-town Pi Ph is have returned to th eir h omes, and the remaining ones are no l onger strangers, but a part of the club Due to the decrease in membership it was not necessary to adhere to the plan of last year, of holding meetings down town at the College Women's Club.

The splendid contribution lent to the Seillement School by the \Vuhington Club was raised in the following way.: through individual pledges, bridge benefit, sale of Christmas cards. and donations from a chapter musicale. Pi Phi was well represented 3t the Pan hellenic luncheon held in Washington in October

The Baltimore Club, with twenty-eight paid members. showl a hearty cnOpention with tbe active chapler at. Goucher. Thi. i. :m excellent plan, and should exist in all dubs, where there is an active chapter in the same town. The club meetings were c.bieRy recreationAl, with luncheon .nd night meetinll. alternaling, and included a tea and luncheon with the adive chapter, also an annual reunion in Ma}·. The club members seemed to find thnt the plan of raising money through individua l don&..lions for the Settlement School was the most satisfactory one. Practically every member was a contributor.

The Richmond Club has an excellent record. The member hip numbers but fourteen; each member is a worker. and 1 met with most hearty cooperation in all matters. The meetings, held once 11 month, at the homes of the different members. were devoted to the several topics required by the Constitution; and like the Washington Club, it Will most fortunate in helTing an eminent woman physician discuss the subject of Vital Health Problem.. Richmond Club, too, seemed to prefer contributing to the Settlement School through personal pledgelii.

As a result of my numerous letters to Pi Phis. not members of a club. in' regard to contributing to our Settlement School fund, amounts totaling $80, werl'! Jent to the school.

I to visit the Baltimore and Richmond Clubs next year, and also shall make ·(urther investigations concerning the possibility of establishing other alumn::t clubs in Virgini3 and Florida.

REPORT OF DELTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Delta Province Vice-president submits the {onowinr report to the Grand Council of Pi Bet3 Phi:

In of the H. C. L. Ilnd other obstacles Delta Province has had 3. fairly good ytar. The clubs' paid memberships have increased. the g-re3test increase being in the Franklin Club, which has thirty paid members this year IlS compared with f1{leen of last year. The Detroit Club has a paid membership of thirty; Indianapolis, thirty-seven; Ann Arbor, twenty; and Bloomington, our newest dub . hal ten . Hillsdale and Southwestern Indiana are still not "c3rrying on."

Our Settlement School contributions have been encouragingly large. Inciian'polis heads the list again. though all clubs have made sp l endid increases, as their reports will show. It has been very gratifying. too. to nole that with alt their communications have come the st3tements thst next year uwe're going to do much better!"

I have sent o ut over a hundred individual leiters concerning Sett l ement School contributions, and although I've received only twenty·five replies, they have been very prompt and generous and an additional $7:1.00 has been thus added to the fund as well SI leveral renewed pledge •. Since the active ch3pters of Delta Province have not all sent thei r School contributions through me, I cannot report as to their work, except that I know that they have been working and accomplishing much.

REPORT OF EXTENSION CO\fMITTEE

The Extension Committee submits the following report to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Pt-i:

The present statuI of those groups which were under consideration at the time of the last annual report, and which have not dropped out, is as follows :

The group at the University o/Illaine was installed in May, 1920, as Maine A Pi Beta Phi. These gir l s have struggled faithfully to gain Pi Beta Phi recogni· tion, and both group and college deserve the place which they have won.

The group at Florida State Woman".s Colleze was visited by a. member .of Gmnd Council some time ago, and the members were given definite suggestions as to organization and fu rth er deve l opment. So far , no action has been taken, pending the report from the group on this development along the lines indicated.

I n the case of the group at the Univ"sity 0/ Chaitallooga, the college ha'i not deve l oped during the past year to the extent that wns expected . The Woman', Dormitory is not yet built , and the registration of women students has in COil sequence suffered. Several other questions as to the lines of future development of the institution will probably be sett l ed within the coming college year , and this will hllve • grel'lt effect on the attitude of Pi Beta Phi toward the petition T h e /lion/ana Slate College group has not yet come up to the requirements in the matter or schol arship.

The groups at De PauUJ University and at Ptlln.sylva"ia. State were discouraged quile frank1y, as the geographica1 location of both these institution! made it unlikely that a petition could be successful for a very long time.

Eighteen new groups have requested information about petitioni n g and new communicntions are bting rtteived frequently. As the Grand Secretary has said, there seems to have been during this year n severe epidemic of Utrying to petition Pi Phi."

TIlE ARROlV OF PI BETA PHI

A group at Witli!lIherg SpringAeld, Ohio, was n ot permitted to pet i· tion, ns the amount of endowment of the college did nol come up to the required $i5.ooo annual income.

Phi Mu Gamma of the Emersolt College 0/ Oratory, Bost on Ma ss ., does not come within OUf jurisdiction, 3S this is a professional sc h oo l.

A group in the U"jversity 0/ Cjllci""afi is at present working on a l ette r of info rm ation. The unh'ersily is on a substantial financial foundation; there are eight nati ona l fraternities for women, Tri Delta having been established as early as 1892, and Kappa Delta. Th etn, and Chi Omega, comi ng in ne xt, in 19 ' 3. This "group is th e only l ocal, that has betn admitted to Panhellenic, and the members have a number of Pi Phi friends.

Two groups at have wished to petition, but n eithe r one had the s upp ort of the Des Mo ines A l um n a! C lub, and the r e was, therefore, little use of their going further.

A group Ilt the 0/ ii/Oil/ana , Missoula, Monl., is very l ow in scho lar ship, and must strengthen this weakness before a petition can be permitted.

Michigan Agricultural Colltge. at Ea.;t L ans ing. r.'tich ha s as yet no national fraternities. The stuaenls are working 3t present to gain permission for their estab li s hm ent. and feel confident that such permission will be granted soon. One group, in anticipation of this , has requested information as to methods of petitioning P i Beta Phi.

A group at the University 0/ /Vort" DakDta , Grand Forks. N. D., requested information abo ut our procedure of establishing a c h apte r at the end of the l ast college year. At the time. all reports about the institution were most favorable, but this year, things ha ve been in a most u nsettled state ther e. owing to the ac· tiv i ties of the Non - Partisan League. Recently, however, the c ri sis seePls to have been passed. and Ihis univer s ity may prove to be a desirable olte to enter.

From the Univtrsity 0/ SoulA Dakota, a request for information has r ecently come. in connectio n with a group th ere.

A truly remarkable situation has developed at U"ivtrsity! For the first time in the recollection o( Ihe earliest inhabitant-almost--of Pi Phidom, a group has r eee h ' ed the unanimous and heart)' support of everybody The nearby c hapters arc even clamor ing for the estab li shmen t of a chapte r there at o n ce. Th e forma.l petition will be published sho rt ly.

A g r oup at Whitmon Coll(,l!t . \:V a ll a \V a ll a. Washington, satisfies all p r elim inary r equirements, and ii continuing its w ork.

A group at Des Jl/oints Col/rgt! has ot r eceived the tll>p rovai of the De s M o ines Alumnre C lub, and will probab ly go no (urther.

A group at lfal/O"1 lt" Colltge, H anover, l ndiana, has been discouraged owi ng to its geographical situation.

L ikewise groups at Unjl1trsity and at New V or k Cit)', have been told quite frankly that the possibility of establish ing c h apters in these institutions i s slight at present a.s petitions (rom both p l aces h ave been refused reeently. owing to the unsuitable location of the college and the present status of development.

Rol/i,1S \ Vinter Park, Florida. likewise has seemed an unsuitable field for Pi Phi at presen t, owing to the scho lar s hip ranking o( the coll ege from r eports whic h have been gathered.

Colltgt. Gainesville, Georgia, also stems unsuited to our needs at present.

A group at the U"i't'n"s;ly 01 remlusee has requested information, but has done little work, to date

REPORT OF THE FELLOWSHIP FUND COMMITTEE

The Chairman of the Fellowship Fund Committee submits the following re po rt to the Grand Council of Pi Beta Phi:

The Fellowship Fund Committee began work l ast fall with the usual h ope of raising one hundred dollars in each province. At first, as it was suggested to the committre we thought of asking each member of th e chapters and clubs to c o ntribute ten cents ap iece. but most of the committee felt that Ibis would dis· rourage among: th e clubs and c hapter s which had contributed five or ten do ll ars to the fund in former year!. So il was left with each committee member to work her province as she thought best The results obtained can readily be seen (rom the financial report given below. In Zeta Province th e chairman left it t o the discretion of the chapters and club s the amount each shonld give and the manner in which it was to be collected. She suggested Ihal January be observed as Fellowship Month. a program be carried out and the mone)' be collected the same day, if possible.

Judging from the reports from the committee members it would seem that all the clubs and chapters were heartily in favor of contributing to the fund. b ecause with few exceptions all that did contribut e did so willingly, and in numerous instances doub led their contributions of former yea r s. Vet wh e n an actual count is made only 44 c ha pters and -40 clubs contributed. Think what c o uld be accomplished if all would give. if only a small sum.

The fund was swelled somewhat this year by personal donations. The chairman wrote to severa l whom she thought might be interested. and at Mrs Ruggs suggestion put the announcement in the March ARllOw.

The committee has tried to give the Fellowship 8S much publicity as possible. Dorothy Woodward prepared a Fellowship Sketch which was sent to all the chapters and clubs with the first round of letters. All the committee have written 3t least two letters and some more to their respective chapters and clubs. in o r de r to keep th e fUlld ever before their eyes. Th e committee still has hopes of obtaining rome scheme whereby every Pi Stla Phi may be reached. This is CONVENTION

The work of this co mm ittee falls un der various h eads: first, ed itori al; second, the 5uptrvision of st udy for pledges and ac l ive mem bers; thir d, examination 0"( pledges and aclive m e mb ers. Each will be treated bri e fl y.

Editorial. In Sep t e m be r , 19 18, the Grand Co un ci l instruc ted th is committee to compile a pamphlet to serve as basis of st u dy for pl!dges and to revise th e exce ll ent, though o ut of da t e, st udy fo r active memlkrs. The "Study for Pledges to Pi Be t s Phi " appeared in December, 1918 i the "Pi Beta Ph i H andboo k " in J an uary, 19 20 Th e lall e r cove r s a broader field than the o lel study n nd treats suc h topi cs as Th e Co nstituti on, Th e J li sto ry o( Pi Bela Phi. etc., in a different way. Besides the usu a l "st u dies" the book let a l so co nta i n s a n up lan ation of the o rg anha ti o n and wo rkings of each standing the history and of P a n h e ll enic. etc .

(b) Topics (or st udy for active members have appeared in Tile Ihlllellll, tbe emphasis being laid lhi' year on the reports of all officers and chairmen in the October A1tROW; the duties oC all office rs and chairmen in tne Cons tituti on and Handb ook; and National Pan hellenic together with nati on al problems H ere and there. in spite of the work of the province supervisor a c hapter failed to note the topics in Tile Bulleti" or tri ed to cram all the last minute. The sple n did progress and earnest interest oC most of the c h apters is a promi se of what the committee hopes to next year at conventi on.

Exa",i1lat;(11I (a) (or pledges-Thil year the system was not uniform: lome supervisors set the same examination to all pledges in the province to be taken on the same day, or when tilt dates of initiation varied too greatly. then at least one mo nth before initia.tion. In other cases the chapter made out the questions, submitting th em to the province supervisor. The province superviso r cor re cted the papers except in Il few cases . This examination is bused on the "S tudy for Pl ertges." A passing mark in thi s examination is prerequisite to initiation.

(b) For I1ctive membe rs. The questions were made out by the chairman following strictly the anigned topi cs and were submitted to the Grand President. It w a.s hoped that all papers could be graded by April 1 but that was impossible for several of the s u pervisors who must this arduous work. Afte r the exnmination the chairmnn requ ested the supervisors to prepare s uggestio ns and to see th at th eir c h apters set aside a few minutes in four chapter to discuss t he correcl answers to \he questions.

Fi.ve out of the ten members of this committee are new this year and up to the middle of December three provinces were without a supe rv isor. It is fine what good r esuhs have been obtainable un de r s u ch disadvantages and the committee hopes for better things next year.

SURV1:Y CHAPTE R SCHOLARSHIP RE GULA TIONS - l 918-19

Some time ago the Scholarship Committee made :1 survey of the scholarship r egulations in use in the various chapters of the fraternity. The purpose of gathering and publishing this data is to give back to the chapters some definite and practical ideas for improving their scholarship.

The questionnaire sent out requested each chapter to report those r egulations which had heen found helpful and which could be recom· mended for use in o ther chapters. Seve n chapters, Ontario A, :Maryland A, Virginia A, I owa A , Wyoming A, California A, and Missouri r failed to reply. The information contained in the fortynine r esponses gave ample evidence that the chapte r s which are giving serious thought to the question of scholarship, are meeting with success.

The regulations r eported covered the following points : House Regulations; Posting of Grades; Conferences with Professors; Sponso rship ; Tnitiation Requirements j Prizes; Fines; Miscellaneous. HOUSE REGULATIONS-Certain regulations r epo rted co uld be enfo r ced only in 'chapter-houses. The most helpful of these rules provided quiet or study hours, and restri ctions on social engagements.

*Of the twenty-two chapters ' maintaining houses, nine reported co mpulsory quiet hours for study (Ca lifornia B, \V ashington B, Oregon B, Oklahoma A, Arkansas A, Nebraska B, l\rissouri A, rowa A, New York r .)

One chapter had supervised nightly study-hall f o r pledges. (Missou ri A.)

*One had supervised study for freshmen. ( Kan sas A.)

One had study-hall for freshmen and sophomores with weak r eco rd s. (Califo rnia B .)

One had supervised study in rooms ; study- hall not satisfactory for under-class girls. (California B.)

-Two had supe rv ised study hours.

Two had supervised study-hall. ( Oregon B, Indi ana B.) ( Illinois Z, Oklahoma A.)

NOTE: A distinctioll is made between super"'ised study and s up e rvised st udy -hall.

*Minnesota A. Held classes in ce rtain subjects if many members ' were weak.

*Thirteen chap ters res tricted the social engagements of members whose work was weak or failing. ( \Vashington B, Oregon B, California B, Colorado A, ebraska B, Kansas B, Kansas A, Iowa A, rowa Z, Michigan A, ll1inois H , New York A. )

*One restr icted the social privileges of pledges whose work was not satisfactory . (Wisconsin A.)

SURVEY OF SCHOL . IRSHIP REGULATIOSS 95

Illinois H, though not having a house, placed similar restrictions on its freshmen.

"POSTING OR READING OF GRADES AT STATED INTERVALS. Twenty chapters reported varying forms of announcing grades, both quizz and tenn. Some were read in chapter meeting, others were posted in a. conspicuous place. (Oregon A, Oregon B, Nevada A, Arkansas A, Arizona A, Colorado A, Oklahoma A, 'Vis: consin A, Minnesota A, l11ioois B, Illinois H, Missouri A, Iowa B, Illinois A, Illinois E, Michigan B, Indiana B, Ohio A, Ohio B, Flbrida A, New York A, Massachusetts A, Pennsylvania d .)

Only three chapters kept card indices. ( ew York A, Oregon A, Ohio il. )

"CONFERENCES WITH PROFESSORS-Nine chapters reported monthly or term conferences. (Washington A, Oregon A" , California r, Nevada A, Ohio B, Pennsylvania H, Pennsylvania r, New York A, Vermont B.)

SPONSORSHIP-Thirteen chapters reported sponsorship over studies. (Oregon A, California B, Colorado A, Arkansas A, Texas A, B, Wisconsin A, Michigan B, Ohio B, Virginia B, Pennsylvania A, Pennsylvania B, Pennsylvania r, Vermont B.)

One of these, Pennsylvania B , reported sponsorship for freshmen especially.

INITIATION REQU I REMENTS-These requirements were of course, in addition to those requhed by the Constitution .

• Three reported that. freshmen must pass all registered hours. (Kansas B, New York r, Vermont B. )

Two reported a general average of C for freshmen. (Ohio A, I owa Z. )

Two reported a gene ral ave r age of at l east 80% for f reshmen. (Pennsylvania r , Nebraska B. ) .

Indiana r required a general average of 7570, Colorado H, 8S()k , and Oregon B, 85%, with no grade'below 70.

-New York 6. required that at least 7'So;o of a freshman's work be above 80 in the term preceding initiation . Michigan A required a B average.

PR I ZES. Twenty-one reported the award of prizes varying from personal gifts of jewelry to dinners, and from the awa rd of loving cups to the engraving of the successful competitor's name upon a cup belonging to the chapter .

"Th r ee chapte r s r eported a pe rsonal gift to the gi rl wit h the. greatest improvement over the preceding year. (Vermont B, Massachusetts A, Indiana B. )

One reported the gift of a cup to the gi rl in the sophomore class with the highest <I> B K average (Massachusetts A.)

Seve n reported per sonal gifts to the f r eshman w i th the hi gh es t ave rage. (Oregon B, California r , Indiana H, Texas A, Mich i ga n V, Pennsylvania B, Ill inois H .)

One reported the gift of a cup to the freshman o r sophomore with the highest average. ( Ill inois U.)

One rep or ted a cup to the junior with th e highest sophomore average. (Illinois

*One repo rted the engraving of the nam e of the gi rl with the ,average, upon a chapter loving cup. ( Indi ana A.) Colorado A lim.its this further by specifying, 41 to the freshman who suppo rt s at least one college activity."

One reported a personal gift to the girl with the highest average (Louisiana A. ) •

One reported a chapter'1oving cup, on which was engraved the name of the sophomore with the highest average for two years. (Colorado s. )

One reported a chapte r scho lar ship bracelet to be wo rn by the sophomore who had the highest freshman a\'crage. Each winner's name was engraved in the bracelet. (Columbia .4..)

""One chap ter reported inter-class competition A) and one divided the chapter alphabetically for competition. (Washington A.)

FINES. Two chapte rs reported fines for cuts. (Califomia A, New York Il. .)

MISCELLANEO US.

* I owa Z denied voting privi l eges to upperclass girls if their scho larship was especia lly poor.

*Louisiana A restricted girls in the use oj the chapter-room when they h:J.d low grades .

Illin ois E has a chart showing the pe r cent that each girl r aised or lowered the chapte r average.

* 111in ois a had a chart showing the scholarship, college acth'itil's and social engagements of each gi rl : ( This was a very comp r ehensive and useful study of the chapter in the composite.)

Illin ois H and Co l orado 1) gave scholarship talk :; to th eir pledges. Illinois a featured these talks in chapter meetings.

No mention has been made o f state o r city Panhellcnic aids to better schola r ship, such as th e award of cups and scholarships, or of open competition invited by ri\'al the purpose of this study being to show simply what individual chapters of Pi Beta Phi are doing to increase th e scholastic prestige of our national organization.

EXCHANGES

EXC II AN ( mS

Throughout the college year, the Editor kept a file of dippings from our Exchanges on subjects dealing with the vital intimate points of chapter life which demand the oot thought of e,"ery Greekletter woman. . he offers a few of them for your consideration. Read them thoughtfully for each one holds a suggestion for you.

TilE AFI' I CrATE IN THE ClIAPTER

Theoretically there !lhould be no question of the affiliate and her adOple(\ chapler; in reality thert not infrequently arise difficulties which endanger the happiness of the tro.nsfer and create in the chapter itselC a sentiment distinctly averse to welcoming girls from olher ch!lpters. Such difficulties decidedly interfere with our maintaining a truly national ideal. Any prejudice against f"ither chapter or transfer which is fostered through misunderstanding and wounded is inimical to the welfare of the fraternity at large.

Probably the majority of girls in our chapters do not appreciate the extremely delicate position of the transfer. She is a new student at the university. and may know no one, bllt because she is already a member of a. fraternity, she is excluded from the possibilities of a r u sh which in itself makes it possible for the freshmnn to meet and become acquainted with many of the older girls and nlso is an open srsame to girls of her own c1nss. The nf1iliate is, in the first nnd loneliest days, restricted. to her own fraternity, and she must depend on it for her welcome nnd initiation into thiJlgs both collegiate and fraternal. 1 f our chapters could realil;e and appreciate what an oprortunity for kindness is theirs in making easy these first days when the new sister cannot refrain from heing homesick for her own chnpler where she had made her place and was intimately connected with its Ii fe.

The affiliates share in tht' bin me :lIsa. they Ilre too prone to hnve their feelings wounded at unintended slights. which develops :1 tendency to withdraw from actIve interest in chapter life, nnd to sit on the side lines and criticile. Sometimes the breach through lact on both sides, closes; in other instances it grows so wide that the affilinte cuts herself entirely ofT from her adopted chapter thus losing whllt should be among Ihe dearest of college experiences. her fraternity life. 1 heard one girl. who was truly interested in Thetn, sny of the chapter lohe ought to been connected with "I enjoy meeting Thetas, and talking nhout the fraternity, but as far as knowing what is going on since I left my own chapter, I might as well not belong. I really don't know all of the girls in this chapter to speak 10." Can we still claim to be a truly successful nntionnl. while some of our members have such experiences? But would they ha"e such experiences if the chapter and its affiliates had a mutual desire to work together? Hath have failed somewhat, in their duty and loyalty to the frnternity.-Knppa Alplta The/a.

Say' T il e K ey of K K r:

And while we are on the job of reconstructing there is a wide field for renl effort suggested in this article {rom the "Are we as fraternities and sororities going to stand Or fall in the coming democratiution of the world? Can we go on hurting the feelings, consciously or unconsciously, of many a fine girl by not electing her to membership? We a.11 proc l aim our ideals as high and founded on spiritua l teachings. We don't hesitate to make it clear far and wide, especially to those whom we are rushing, thllt m embership is a distinct advnntage in every wny AI the 5:1me

TilE RESPONSIRILlT\· OF PPER C LASSMEN TOWARD FRES II M EN

Upperclnssmen. have you ever pa u sed lo n g eno ugh t o brin g back th e m e m o ri es of the time when you wert being rushed, rushed viol e ntly ? 00 you r emembe r the co min g of pledge day with its joys and expec t a ti ons for a wonderful life in Delta Gamma? D o you remember th e disappointment which came t o you with the cha n ged attitude of the u ppe r classmen; their indifference. th eir l ack of i nt e r es t a ft e r the keen cOllce rn which th ey had shown f o r you before pledge day? You are no excep ti on, upperclassman, for often the sa m e experie n ce has come to other gir l s. The freshmen co m e to the f r :lte rn i t y eager to find out what fraternity life is like, anxious to be a member of the orga ni zation. It is this moment which otTers t h e opportune time to prove to each pledgeman that h e r id ea ls of D e lt a Ga mma ar e a gl o ri o u s r eality. Upo n whom does thi s Ol)por tunit y fall? Upon you upp erclllSs m e n who have actually expe ri e nce d all th ese joys :lnd privileges. You ol der girls s h o uld feel thnt it is a p leas ur e t o ha.ve th e responsibility of helping the young gi rl find hersel f. Betwee n th e ages of sixteen and twenty t he college stu den t is in a receptive mood ; i f eac h new girl is studied a t thi s time, the older girls can l ea rn t o know her well and can th erefo r e Ret as "guide, philosopher, a nd friend." Th e "Mothe r Ad"iserll or " Hig Sister" system is an impo rt ant facto r in every chaple r. To cultivate the co nfi dence snd respect of eve ry freshman is the duty of yo u olde r girls.

There are ways to encou ra ge this fri end l y. persona l relationship. Personal interest is t he first necessity, and shou l d be unselfishly and unstintingly given. Th e freshman must feel th at you are R co mp an i o n in the s trug g le and that you h a.ve had the be n efit of t h nt best of leac h e r s, expe ri ence. Y ou mu s t be friends at hesrt, nnd yo u must a lw ays be an exa mpl e t o the younger siste r There is nOlhing more tragic than for :l young girl to find that the one whom s h e h:a s so muc h admi r ed and hoped t o be like falls sh o r t of ber i dea l.

Next i n importance comes the power you have to guide the fresh man. One of the first problems w hic h confront& the freshman is h o w to overcome her homesickness. A way in college ca n be made easier by yo ur sympathy with her in her problems. She can be aided by baving her attentio n and interest so guided that she forgets about herself. To arouse in her a keen desire to do her work well is most impo rt ant. The backward girl needs specia. l attention nnd encouragement By example and advi ce the upperclassman can be very useful, fo r she can s h ow th e freshman the folly of id leness, and ca. n help

her to put hu plan. into ac tion; particularly is thi, true of the q uiet, timid girl. r ( in any small way she pro.,es a failure, support h e r by giving her yoar since re assis tance.

Then , too, the younger girl needs your guidance in choosing her ad iyitie•. Colle ge life is (ull of sinn uou. days. and the girl who is ambitious i. conCron t ed with a. myriad DC thing 10 do.

AFTER PLEDGING-WHAT?

Perha pi o f the most perplexing problems a chapter has to fac e, after the agony of rushing season has been survived, is what to do with the pledges. Especially perplexing is this problem in colleges where pledges cannot be initiated until a long time after they have been p ledged The great danger is that the se i nexpe rienced i'0 ung- things. not yet in s posi tion to realiEe the noble thini' Thets stand s {or, may- faU int o th e fault s so ofte n attributed to fraternity women by outsiders.

In s h ort they may display the demerits without the merit s of fraternity lile Here are a number ol girls the chapter has chosen with l ove and (more or le IS, too often l ess) careful thought to be members of our fraternity, girls who are in college r ep r esenting Th eta and yet who know practically CONV E NTION ..... ....

nothing of what Theta means. How can they be made to what Theta expectJ of them while they are still pledges?

Where tbere are :l large Dumber of pledges it is difficuh to make them feel dose to the chapter and to every girl in the chapter. There is tendency to feel "o ut of it" and to drift away. How C3n we bring the pledcca near to the c ha.pter? Perhaps this distant feeling i. mainly because the pledge s really are not very well acquaint«l with the chapter girls. This i. apt to be the cue especially where .. chapter is large and where the rnshing sesson i ••hortmatriculation pledge or only a few day.' rash.

Pledres in our chapters now hold regular meetiogs, the purpose of which is to keep them in touch with the chapter. to give them some idea. of the meaninc of Thetahood, to help them become good campu s timen., and to get them Ilcquainted with each otber. It would be interesting to know bow each chapter workl out the plao and with what re sultl.- Kapjio A/Ilia Tluta.

We hIld just about concluded that the good old-fashioned afternoon call bad been put alide by the time.-climinat ing, energy-saving telephone, when oar companion-a fine Cammll Phi alumna of many yun' standing, of unbounded enthuliasm-remarked, with the air of introducing :mother modern problem. ''The acknowledgment of a. note of courtelY is alao a past art. The spirit of the age-for, of course, everything is blamed upon the spirit of the agedoes not give us time for the personal touch." We waited for fuller explanation, and she addtd-"For example Before college closed, I wrote several little notes to girls in whom I was interested-to whom pleasant things had happened . One had gained Phi Beta Kappa-I congratu lated her upon her laurel crown; another had announ ced her engagement- I wished her happiness. Another had worked faithfully nnd well in the. sorority office which had been given herI sent her a word of appreciation. And how many acknowledged my good wishes-how many responded, in appreciation of my friendly messages? Not one."

Even if it takes the time and effort of a busy college girl, it is never a mistake to be grateful for kind thoughts and friendly words that come her way.-Cruulft of r 4» B.

It may be because duriog the eight yeAn of my Bffiliation with Sigma Kappa my own chapter hns bad no wonderful pledges.

Though the khaki IUitS nre almost a thing of the past, there remains a spirit of democracy, the J3me spirit which will dominate the world in the years to come, a feeling Dot for self but for other., not for individual gain but for mutusl advancement and progress. Let us hope tbis spirit will never leave the univ ersity, a part of the lesson taught by the S. A. T. C.

Here also are some of the best thoughts of our brother Greeks which are worthy th e attention of women.-EDI'foR.

The coUtee families are more aDd more seeking in the men they pJedae the inner quality of penonallife. They are lookiDg fOT a simple, human kindliness which, underneath and over all external trappings, is working for the Kingdom of Heaven on ClLrlh. The fraternity which is wise is not seeking specialized ability unress it can have with it an essential manliness.

It is nec:Clsary that underneath appearances we must search for character, kindliness, and sel f control, which arc the things that count.-Sirma Chi QlUJrteriy.

A WORD AUOUT RUSHING

]0 most of the coUeees in which we have chapters, rushing will begin with the opening of college. Its importance can not be overemphasized. The future of the chapter depends to a large degree upon effective rushing Rushing is an art in itself. It is worthy of serious thought by those who have its direc:lion in chnrge Rushing is not dec:eption. It does not consist of theater parties, automobile rides , dinners and dances. It is not clotheJ. It is not & paxade of athletes, facuity members and prominent alumni. It is not II. lavish expendit ure of money.

Men who are rushed arc usually freshmen, but they are neverthele5S iDtel· ligent men; otherwise no chapter would rush them. They will detect deception, and will not honor you for practi.i_g it. They will see through carnoWlage, and will laugh at your .imp len ess. They will discover sham, and will only wonder how much more they have not discovered.

Those who are choosing a fraternity want to know wliat it is, locally and nationally. They want to see the men who comprise the chapter, and to know how they live and how they conduct themselves. They W!l.Dt to know what the chapter and frnternity stalld for. nnd how well they measure up to such stand· :.rd.. They want to get an impression of the atmosphere surrounding the men and perva.ding the chapter·ho u se. They nre merely looking for an opportunity to l e!lrn to observe. And all this they want without color, or exaggeration or deception.

Don't let one or two or a half doten do all the rushing; if you are :\Shamed to have rushee. mingle with all your membership, your task is almost hopeless. Don't tell rushees you have the best chapter in college; they will be able to discover it if it is so. Don't tell them the shortcomings of chapters o f other fraternities; they will also discover them if th e re are any. Don't attempt to "lift" .. pledge to another fraternity i regard II. man's obligation to another org!Ulitation as yOIl w.ould want that organization to regard a pJede-e to yours. Don't be a party to any dishonorable "deal"; you will think leIS of yourselves and of all o thers concerned.

It is not n ecessa ry to hide your automobile:s, or to avoid Lheaters, dinners and dances, or to forget your prominent alumni, athletes and faculty members. But CONVENTION

do not deceive yourselv6 by thinldnr you can shift the reputation {or yoar chapter to these agencie., however a-ood tbey may be. Effective rushing merely requires an intelligent use of these means. J f you can ,ive the rushee the information he seck., and which he is entitled to have. in an automobile, 10 muth the beUer. But don't try to rive a man the impression that .11 that your chapter has to do in college is to ride to the opera. in twin .ixel. when he probably know. at the time that the car i. borrowed and that YOllr theater usually costs cleven ceDts, includina war tax.

In brief, be truthful, be fair, be natural I( the men you are rushinr think well of what your chapter and Phi Kappa Psi can offer tbem, they will come your way j if these thine. do Dol appeal to them, you will not want them, Rnd both you and tbey will be happier for the decision.-TJre SMeid of ct K ':It .

The ideal chapter of any fraternity would be ODe composed of studentJ representing all of the different departmentJ and schools of the university. Then would be represented a microcosm that would reflect univer sity sentiment and that would be in a poJition to act intelligently for the welfare of the university of which it WAS a parl.-TAe Pili Comm a Della.

YOUR PASS

An initiate into Delta Upsilon is given a pass admitting him to the best of all privileges, the opportunity of making friends in a selected group on the most favorable terms; an oppo rtun ity that extends throughout his whole life, and giveJ him the to a group that extends from coast to cout and beyond the territorial limits of the United States.

Some, who would naturally enjoy this privilege of Jocial intercourse hesitate to use it and doubt their welcome. because they have never been instructed that this is their chief privilege. Others. better instructed, fail to make use of their pass through Jheer inertia. Perhaps the Fraternity has failed in practice to make clear that this is the inalienable ria-ht and Iaraest benefit of membership for the alumnus; the right to welcome and se<!k acquaintance. Only through comm unity of interest can the basis of friendship be deve l oped.

\Ve need a perpetual campaign of getting aCQuainted. This does start in a desultory mMner in the various chap ter-houses. to which visiting brothers, alumni a5 well as undergraduates, are always welcome guests The badge is the equivalent of a l ette r of introduction, subject to the privileges and limitations of such a. letter. The label must not be accepted tta the whole thing; we need cultiV3.1ion of the habit of getting acquainted :md practice in the method of it.

At a recent Commencement there was the habitual reunion of the Chnpter whic h was attended by a gratifyingly large number or alumni; but it develolJed that :1.11 the under2Taduate body had departed save s few who were about to eraduate, nnd who were too deeply involved in the attendant social activities to plly any attention to the visiting alumni as if the opportunity for getting acquainted with the great outside body that we nre told is the Real Fraternity waJ a negligihle matter. Their notions of the reasons for joining the Fraternity must have been very huy. In.ey missed the whole lhing.-Della U/ls;/O"
