Gamma Province President, chairman of a committee appointed by the Grand President to present to conyention Pi Beta Phi's regulations regarding insignia, reported as follo~s : It would seem as thQugh our badge regulations should be wen known and understood by our members by this time. But memorie$ are short and college generations change, so we remind our members again that the badge regulations aTe: I. The only badge that an undergraduate member m3Y wear is the gold. standard badge, plntinum and whi.te gold badges being forbidden.

2. The badge may be lent, sold, or given only to a member of the fraternity.

7. The fraternity pins of hosb:mds and men rehtivcs m3Y be .:lttached by a chain to the arrow, if desired.

The greatest thing at cODvention is to meet the women who planted the seed which has grown and ftoweted into· n B 01>. 'Ve love and honor them all.

That to our beloved Grand President, Anna Lytle Tannahill, we wish to e~press our sincere devotion for the years of inspiring service so freely given.

We deeply regret that she feels it 'n ecessary to retire (rom active service in the fraternity_ That her service to the fraternity will still continue through ber acti vitip.s in the educatiQDal world is a matter of pride to all Pi Beta Phis, our only regret being that human strength is inadequate to the demands of both fraternity and college.

'That to our ARROW Editor, Sarah Pomeroy Rugg. we convey an appreciati.on that is too deep {or words. The untiring service of ten years, the devotion to fraternity work, many times at great personal inconvenience, has placed the fraternity under an obligation that can never be repaid. Not only has TtlF. ARROW flourished as the fraternity h35 i.ncreased in size and strength, hut mnny of the best national policies in3.ugur-ated in the last few years have originated in ~er fertile brain. Realizing that our Editor is destined for brilliant work in other fields we wish her Godspeed, knowing that her interest, her sympathy and her enthusiasm will always be ours, even though leaving us for other fieIds of service.

That to Dr. May L. Keller, OU1' President Emeritus and Representative in National P::mhellenic Congress. we express our keen appreciation of hem- unfailing ;nterest in the be~t good of the fraternity at all times.

It is a m atter of k e en regret to the embers of Grand Coundl thnt the d crC3<; d value of the dollar made impo sible the fin anci ng of cOn\'enlion in 1920. Frate rn ity dues r main ed, however, exac tl y where they were in 1912 when the purch asing power of the dollar w as more than double tha t of 1l)20. Grand Cou nc il wa forced to p lace before the chapter for their vote two alte rnativesh oldi ng con vention at t he u ual lime, each cbaptt'r defraying one-half of the t'xp n s o f it d legate, or defer ring it until 1C)21. at wh ich time it c'luld b~ fi n an ced 8S Qsual by the national treasu ry. Fifty·nine chap lers voted for post· ponement.

III the int 'm of con\'cntion s special stre h as been pbc~d upon interntll or2''lnizntion and develop ment. A complete reorganization of the important stan di ns.r committees on ,cholarship, examinat ion , a nd fellowship fund has been effected. the chairman of each being given a staff o( ten associates, each of whom acto; ali 11 supervisor for ht'r respective province. This organization has made poe;. ib le personal supervision and intensi\'e work of a type which has brought (orth f'xcellent re ults. The Committee on Scholarship ba organized chapter committees. has is ned printed instruction s to province s uperYisors and to chapters, and has effectively standardized the scholarship work throughout the (raternity.

The scope of the Committee on Examin:ltions has materially broadened. and its dt: "igllatioD ba been changed to Committee on Fraternity StUt~y and Exami n a.tions, the special emph asis of its work being l'lid upon the study of the const it ution. the history and the work of Pi Beta Phi, Gnd upon the study of the fraternity !'ystem at large. The committee has published a study (or plpdges to JI R ~, upon which is ba';t:d un 'examination to determine eligibility to initiation; also the n B." Handbook, which revises and brings up to d3te the old Stud y of IT B 4> and gives in addition an explan ation of the organization and the workings of e, ch st:1oding committee, the hi story 3nd organization of the National Panhcllcnic Congress, statistics concerning the other Congress fraternities, and materials dealing with the fraternity system.

It h3s held annual examinations for the sophomores, junion;, and seniors of the chapters. The Committee on E xtension has been increased by one member, the ch3irmnn of the National Committee on Scholarship, who makes detailed in· vestigations regarding the scholarship of such group!; :IS meet the requirements of IT D ~, and whose oflic i ral certificatic-n is required before :t group is eligible to i nspect ion or p rmittcd to prep~re 3. pctjtion.

It grades all chapters on each point, placing those showing except,ional strenglh in Class I, those above the average in Class 2, those which are avernge in Class 3. and those below the average in Class 4. The Committee on Conventions will henceforth have charge of all convention materials and literatnre, and investigate and make reports on places suitable for convention, as wen as h:wc actl1al charge of the arrangements for convention. The Constitution. Article II, Section I, Personnel of Convention, has been amended to include j. The Convention Guide j and Statu~ts III, A. Sec. 14. Duties of Convention Guide, has been amended to include 3. To act during the interilJl of conventions. as chairman or a standing Committee on Conventioo.

Believing that one of the most important steps toward giving the chapters the national vision and a denr under!'tanding of what the goals and ideals of IT B 4> as a national (raternity are, Grand Council )Hlblished in 1918 a letter on conduct standards, and in 1919 a manual (or chapter development, setting fortI' the obli g:ltiolls of a IT B .., chapter to the college which makes its existence possible and to the national fraternity i the obligations of a chapter officer to her chapter and to the national fraternity; anti the obligations of a member o( II ~ cI> to her chspter and to the national fraternity.

The <:onstitutional provision made by the 1<)18 convention, that II provluce president make an annual visit of not less than three days to each chapter in her prO\'ince has pro\'ed of great "aloe in the furthering of internal de1o·ell,lpm~nl.

O"-ing to the twenty pt'r cent increa"e in railro:ld ratcs and the fift}· per cent increase in Pullman r:ltl"S put into effect in the summer of 1920, and to the f:lct that convention had to be financed in 1921. it \\Tas deemed imllcrative by Grand Council that visits of pro ....ince presidents to all chapters visited the two precedin~ ~'ears be omitted in 1920 and 1921. The only chapters which have not receh'cd two "isits by province presidents in the interim of conventions are those ot Theta and Kappa provinces. Owing to unavoidable circumstances, Mrs. Dyer both in 1918'1919 and 1919r-1920 found it impossible to make chapter visits, and ultimately tendered her resignation bec:lusc' of heT inability to perform this part of her duty as province president. Her $uccessor, Mrs. Kribs, has visited all ch.!\plers in the province. Every chapter of the fraternity has in the interim of coo· "ention!'i recei\'ed an official ,';si! from a member of Gra.nd Council. The Grand President has visited twenty-three chapter~.

With the object of giving the chapters of U B o<J> 3. knowledge of the fraternity system and of the prognms which college fraterni,tjes must definitely undertake if ihey are to retain their place in American college's nod universities. Grand Council provided cach ch3lpte,r wilh a year's subscription to Banta's. Gn'ek ExdlaIlC,!, beginning with the December issue of 19[9. and urged that upon the expira60n of that subscription the chapters make their own renewal. As a project in advanced scholarship, a subscription of $300 (or the years 1920 and 1<)21 has been made to the Amef'ic!ln School of Classical Studi-es at Athens, thus rounding out. tbe service of the organization in the field of education. Part of this subscription has been met by the surplus from tbe war fund. The Richmond Alumna! Club undertook and suc;'~e:5sfuny carried out tberrusing of funds for the remainder. The question of whether the fraternity wishes to become a regular subscriber to this internation!li graduate school will come before convention, Two council meetings have been held in the interim of conventions, the first at Lincoln, Neb,raska. at the home of tbe Grand Treasurer. Miss Stuart, August 22-28. 191'9, and the second at the Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago, June 26 to July I, 1910. Among the important rulings of the Council in fhe interim period are the following: I. That the scholar-ship req,LltreLucnts of a petitioning group at the. time of the presentation of its formal petition be creditable, that there s ha,1I be no condi, ~ioDS or

When it is realized that of this formidable list of groups sixty in number, only four not definitely authorized by the convention of 1918 have recei\<ed charter ~rants, the conservatism of Pi Beta Phi's extension policy win be apparent. .

One of the greatest difficulties met by the Gr.md PTl~sidel1 t nncl by the Grand Vice-president at the beginnings 01 their terms of office W:lS the necessity of 1ill· ing the numerous vacancies arising throug-h resignations caused by war conditions. The need for a permanent roll of experienced worken; qual.ified to carry fmternity responsibilities was keenly felt . ;uld a. sy"tem of volunteer service cards providing fo,r the signatures of the fraterllity officers or alumnre c.luh officers endorsing the volunteer, was inaugurated.

Tn :vldi!ion nil visiting officers were instructed to obtain lists of Pi Beta Phis who cou~d give able service to the national organization.

Almost w1th()ut c:xcl~ ption, vacancies in nAtion'a! offices and on standing committees have been filled by persons thus I'ecommencled for national service.

Anti-fraternity agitation is !lteadily g:UlHng strength, and is a (nctM with which. the nntional fraternity Sy Slclll must re\.:kon in the near future. During the past year con ferences have been hell\ in many states which have laid tht= pIons fO·r :1.ctive campaigns ill slale legisbtures.

'The pmblc nl facing II B 4> and every other lJ:l.tinna.l fmlcrnity is through fuill acceptnm:e of responsibility, through co(jp c r:J.tion~ and through right leadership, to jus tify the exsisten\.:c of the fraternity system in American coll e ge); and universities. 1t lies in the power of {paternities, if .t hey function in accordance with their 11 Ilt ifllulI idea~!'l and national programs, to make a ddinitc contribution to e\'ery institution wbich has opened its doors to then~.

"For years we alumna' had no aiumn~'C nat,ionul lre:lsury.; since we had tio dues. We just lived on the \!lolln ·t y of Ihe active Grand Treasury, Vt!ritable parasites. Even when we foundeq the Sett l emen~ Sd'lool fot our special me:ms of service the entire aluruJ).-e department w:u; without funds 3Jld we 5tHI ha.d to ask the ac,tive chaplets to \Tote $250 annuuUy to thc Settlement School that sonu money might be reany gun.,rantced. Then it was th.1t the nominal ta8 of fifty cents per member was decided ur on and at Inst we !l~I,mm:x: couId pay the salaries and ofliee expenses of our alumna! 0fficcrs. However, we ~lr u!l1me arc not yet independent. That we might h~l\' e more interest and gTeatcr \'oice or power in convention, theProvincc Vice-'presidents (,petrely alumna! officers) were given a vote in COJlvention and their convention expen ses have a.lways beell borne by the adive Grand Treasury. I!,; it not tjlllc t'h~t we assumed these Cx'pc!}ses oUrr· selves?" Until this system t} f ctue~ was well established there wa s not suHicient revenue to meet tIle leg1timate expenses of the alurunx officers but now that ;J nucleus blls accumulated! th~ alumna- dcp~nlmefit should be able to pay the cODvention e'xpenses of its Province Vice-presidents. or it might pay the extra traveling expenses of tne Province Presiden ts 'when (:or the purpasc of \'Isiting dubs they detour (rom the regular route' that includes chapters only.

Other recommend-ations tbat your Grand' Vice-president wnuld make for the. future are as follows: That aU officers of the department have their files in suc.;h ·shape at ~he time of convention that they can be sent on at once to Ilny successor as the work of this department was seriously handicapped in some provinces by long del:lys, in one ,c ase two years e111psrng before d ozens (If lettr.r~ fr m every q;nar·t er and then telegll'ams sG:nt collect sucteedt:d in moving the fites.

The :lflnual active membership ha<; increased from. 1,585 in 1918-I<}, nnd J,8f J in 1919-20, to 1,857 in J()"20-2t. The number of i nitiates has ranged from 674. in 1918-19 t() 838 in 11)1<)-20 and So3 in 1920-U. making a tota.l of 2,315 ini,tiates for the three yeRn, It iii intere ting to notice that while the activ membership for 1920-21 showl an increase of 400 over that for J917-J8 (the yeaI of the last convention). initiations show so increase 0':( only 2~a gratifying indication that the (raternity's c3tl1lpaign for four-year gi.rJs is getting results. During the interim of conventions, the chapters of n D ~ ha\'c gi\'en 2372 invitruions to membership and. omitting the incomplete records for cha.pters using the preferential system of hidding, have lost only 232, winning from their rival during the same lime 450 bid!;. Ohio A, Iowa A, Iowa B, 'Missouri .A, K ansas A and Kan sa B ha\'e lost no bids during tbe interim of con,'cntions, while \Vashington ii, Texas A, Illinois .d. Indiana 1', Oregon A, Oregon B, Flordia A, VirglniaA. Columbia A., California: A. Vermont A. Massachusetts A, Pennsylvania B, Wisconsin A. Pennsylvania r, and Ohio n each have a two years' record (or no bids lost.

Aside from the regular routine wor~ of her office, the Grand Secretary has, in the interim of conventions, preps:red for all chapter an d council members new copies of the secret cipher and key, a,nd has supervi ed the re\';!lion and republication of the constitution, For the most parf, the cooperation of chapter secretaries has been very ~nlisfnctory. about hal{ of the ch:lpters, each ye:lr, hrn'in g perf(~ct records.

The n:ports of cha.pter ddegates to com'lmtioll have hl'en enrefuny gone Q\'cr and prcp.3 rcd for public:ltioll in the Convention Number of THE ArHww. l~very n B cf> is urged to ~tudy ,t hese reports, for tbey are the record of three y~ars of achic\·cment.

1Vlnny helpfl.d suggestions for chapfer development, be f(Jund under the hending of "Chapter \Vork": cnch nelegate should study these' reports and, in m3king her reporl next fall to her eli apter, give to it the constructive ideas found in them. A most satisf~,ctnr" condition of cooperation betwGcn alum:n:r :lnd acti..'e Ch ~lrll e rs is rdlcctcd i~ these reports.

It is an evidence of ver~' renl ~:lin for the fraternity and of :!fh·:rr:tce on the part both of active members and of ~Iumnre th1it a ch pter, whose dclcg:1te to the l:tst convention suid in her rep Jxt: Ij'\\'e hav tea fo r tbe nllullIll;l;; and caH on them.

We cannot mainbin their interest, how ever," re ports, through it!'; delegnte to this c(invention: "\Vc arc in very close [ollch wifh nur alumna! and have :1 5:plr:ndid relationship with them."

R ROW ED ITOR

To II B 4> raternity, T H ARROW Editor llbmi the following r epor t: The years wh ich h ave elapsed since oar 19 18 convention h a ve been m rked I>y tra in and tress in the indu trial world.

0 line o f b nsines h a been more h~ ndi cappe d than the publishi,n g fiel d :md no magazine l arge or ma ll b as escaped the effects of the ti me . T UI A RROW has be n no e ep tion to the general rnIe. Uncertain ty regarding labor conditions, the qu tily, quality, and price of applies an d the increa ing co t of production ha en a con tant o u ree of anxiety in th e li f e of your edi tor. She records therefore w ith orne pride that in a period wh en tbe great popular magaz-ines of the country h ve been Corced to u pend publ icati on a nd in orne cases combine i ue and reduce th ir ize in oth ers and when o a r cont po raries in the G reek-letter press h ave done likewise, T H E ARROW has conti nued to develop normally and all n umbe r have appeared during th e mon th cbeduJed fo r p ubl ication although they ha.ve frequently bee n d elaye m an y days beyond the first week in the month .

Con. tant vigilance on the part of your editor h a been i mper li ve to achieve this result and the c3reful org i z tion of r work and de lega tion o f ce r tai n duties t aso:;j tants have been necessary. The cooperation o f the Alumn :e ditor has been invaluable and the 3ssi"t:mce of Mrs. Agnes Wright Sprinj:!' who has hrought her trained journalisfic skill to the chapter letter section during the past two years 'has been greatly apprecij;t~d. l\liss Dornthy Clcave'land has given her knowledge and experience as a libr:1Tbn 10 the department of honk re\'iew f< while Miss Carolyn Lutz h~l~ s veral times cODtdbutetl carefully edited note to the Exchange Department. T o all these willing worker~ your editor give her heartfelt thanks.

• Th r e private issues h'3ve appeared furni~bing our organ izn.1i n n wilh con ';' nlion minutes and reports in 19 18 and with annual r epo rt~ nod minu tes o f Gr:lJld Council meetings in 1919 a nd 1920. The nine rCj:;'ul a r iss ues h:we included two special numbers. !1 second lnternationat Sen"icc Number with a spec.i:!1 cover issued in March 19-rq in response to many refi ne ts nr1 n Setllemerit School number in June 1920 to marK the tenth anniversary of the inaugurntinn oC the Settlement School Tllovement. The other i's sues have inclurled accounts of our 1918 Convention nnd introducti on of our official family, de'! 'criplions of Ollr new chapters, their homes, articles on Pi Phi,s in the public eye and contributions featuring variom. avenues of !':cnf ict~ at home and abroad. besides miseellancou~ articles. The series of letters from member!'; li\,jllj."t in foreign lands which has been a !IOpu!ar feature of the volume just dosing was collected through the efforts of the Grand Vice-president in her nlumn' cQrrespondence.

No new depa.r-tments have been inaugura't cd hut scver,a l changes h!H'1! been made in the old ones. Because of the const:tnfly lengthening roll of membership an the increasing difficulty of ec ul'ing accurate information in T g nrd to decea ed members, a stand3'rdized fortn of obitll~ry notice W3'" adopted beginnin w ith the first issue of volume 36. During the ,current ,-olome, cnts of chapter·houses ha\'e been omitted from the chapter letter section !lnci in the maj rity of issues during tills convt"Illion intel"im. Esch:mges and CoIl(!ge Notes h~t\'e been combined in :m effort to save space lmd expense.

Tbe introduction in the chapter lett~r section of the home addrc-;ses of girls graduating this year is an innovation made at the request oC the secretary of the New York Alumnre Club who hopes ,t he information tbus made a"'ailnblc to club secretaries ",ill rc!'ult inr Ihe addjHon of many new members early in the next club yeaI'". A further 51l ggestion that the class numerals so long included in our alumnre personal section be omitted in the fllture. has not heen followed pending further dist.:'ussion (l)f the subject at this coO\'entian.

Another l'iuggr.!';tion for the future, concerns tb~ publication of the annu31 report of alumn~ clubs which have hereto f ore appeared in the June is!\ue. Transferring lhese reporb to the October issue is propos~d as it w()uld place them with the

other :mnual reports of the fraternity, insure con\f(~nie,nce, reduce expense andl remO\'c the chief cause of the ine\'ilablc delay in the appc:mmce of the June ARROW,

Our :lch'ertising rntes have been doubled to m ct the rising costs of productiolil but no new ad,'crtishlg bas be,en SQlicited.

In Octgber 1918 it was decided that !be inclusion of the Oc:tflbcr l~u\letillJ :n the October number of THE ARROW was no rODger practical so> a regular number was issued and four regular numbers, :Jl year nave l"ince :!PllcHre-d. \Vith fhl! difficu.:ltics involved in belated is!'ues of Tlly. ARROW', the BurIetin h~s become mO'r e "olua.ble than evef for the organization of the fraterni .t y.

The dut~es performed b)· THE ARROW Editor in her capacity as a member of Grand Council hs\'c been illl usual many and varied. She h(l~ visited sixteen c.hnplers offici311y, two' olhers ullo/lici'al1y, inspectell three petitioning g.r oups , presided at the installation of New York a, assisted :H fhe in'taUation of \5.!jIscQnsin D, attended the Editors' Conference of National P:linhellellic Conference. made one visit to ·t he Settlement School and has brought Grand Council messa.ge to the meetings of fourteen different :]lurnTHt! cluhs.

Since t.his report closes 11 period flf service covering neady a decade in the erJjtorship, a personal word may be ill order. During. the pa~t ten yean your editor has watched with ,k eenest illteres.t the development (f fraternity jnurnalism as she has studied appredati\'ely (,he foriy ooci e xehang"s which came to her ncsk. Almost without c'x ception they have grown in stren~th aneJ increased in interest, keeping pace with the varied Ile ti"ities of the organiza.tions they lI'eprescltt and indicating their characteristics.

One of our contemlloraries records the story of :1 wise father appeqled to by a distraught daughter in the midst of a membership cnmllaign who replied"Show me their maga.7.i' ne~ and I willI make my decision (l,S to the fraternity r \vould nave you j,oin." This is only onc illustration of the emph:l~is I:li.1 upon (rntern~ty jour-r.alism by thl! general reader. To bim the publication represents the fraternity.

Is it too mu.ch to expect that TIIR A~KOW shall alwa.ys be a transllatlon of those ideals which arc f unearnen tal 1m OUT or~nl'1iza{io(]. No edi lOr can realize Ihis am.bition alone 'a nd for her SUCCE'S~Or in olliee the retiri.ng editor be~ speak!) the whole-hearted interest and support of the entire fraternity to the end that our magazine mily a1waY5 be a leader amonl-':' fraternHy journals.

M:my other Pi Phis including Professor and Mr!;. A. E. Jenks of Minnesota ll.nd Dr. and Mrs. Gault.• Northwestern, have been down; Hotel guests alwa,ys ~pend some time at the school or residents' cottage.

Ned year wi,1I be Emn~, Burtan's fiftn in Gatlinburg. Everyone n.pp'rf'ci:1tes t:he valuf! of h~r long senrice. Marie Di,tmars, I-Ielen Chew, Lucy Nicholson. an<d Phyllis Higinbotham, all, plan to carryon their ~plendjd work .()f the p:l~t yenr.

Mr. Creswell found his factory work and his cbsses in the sd100li too heavy so he will be replaced by ~(lmeone wno can gi\'e all his time to schooli work. First y'e ar high school work has been offered the past two ye~lirs. but next year we must add a second yenr of high school .if we are to s:Jifeguard the young boys and girh who are ready fQr tllat g.r ade of SGhool work, because the chHdren of high school age now are products of our school alone and so are ready for the nov:mced work at an earlier 3ge than heretofore. One teacher will have to be added to our (a.rce (or this increased high school work. Al.s(:). Mr. Crc sweHl ~ place must be filled by a man ghring f\l'1I time with cOllse'lUent increase in salary, A minimum of $6,000 should be allowed lor teachers' salaries each of the two coming yean. Miss Nicholson thinks she can make her weaving self-supplilrting du,r ing this year. She plans to make counterpanes OF "kiv'CTs" popular among the weavers.

Doctor.s Mas!\ey, Hoffman, Rogers and Ogle aliT have agreed to h:we office hours in Gatlinburg once a month 3S soon as l\\'1i.s_ s Hig-inhotham's offiee in th e Ogle cottage is in readiness. Sc~eral clinics arc planned when the cottage bas bee.n remodeled and equipped.

Two dormitode are needed, one for boys, the other for girls, housing fifteen ~r (wenty each. The girl 1 buildin g ou.ght to be in readiness for this year's u.se, at lea t after Ch ri stma . Co t of these auld be app roximately $ 15,000 each.

A general water supply must come soon and a problem of sew age dispo al must be met. Mr. Blis , St te R ural Engineer in Tennes ee and a loyal endo rser of the school, may be able to help us to a satisfactory solation of the e two problems.

An adiloriom is de 'red by the commnnity and the school needs one. This could be a building of two 800r • thas f1lrDi hing more cIa srooms 0 tin 5,000 to 10,000, acco rdin g to it several uses. An oa.tdoor gymDa iam. practically only a fl oor and roof (co ting perh aps $500 f or m a terial) was reque ted by the boys last winter, they propo iog to do the work if the lumber could be furnished them.

A heating plant and ba ement for the nurse' cottage ought to be put in next year; tbe basement in the school house exc va Led. concreted, and eqnipped for se r vi ng chool lunches. H ere. also, should be in taIl ed showe rs. for the boys and for the girls, whic could be used also by the community. Two thousand dollar would cover the cost of eltcava.ting. fi ooriJlg, p lumbin g and equipmen t and probably $ 1,000 would c Te f OT the basement nd h ea ting in the n UT e s cottage.

Minor n eeds are: more li vestock, a fe head only of course; pasture fencing; ditching and tilling; li me and phosphate for the fields; new black boards of sb.te; fnrnilihings {fir cottages; full equipment for the nurse's cottage, the laboratory. hospital room, office and waiting-room~ The $900 now on band will barely pay for the plumbing- and tbe immediate necessary repa irl5.

It is apparent we need hirge individual gifts. There are many Pi Phis able to make tbem s.n d I feel sure no better way could be found for investment iIll service to one's fello,vmen. l 't would be a pleasure for everyone to visit the Sett lement School and realize it!> needs, its big usefQlness and it glorious possibilit.ies.

REPORT OF THJi: CATALOGUER

July 19I8·Ju/y Tf)2I The LJll a logu{~l' submi'ts th e followi n g- report : During the past three years the \\~ork of fhe' Cataloguer has been ,a ugmented hy the work on the mailing list for TIlE ARROW, formerly handled by the Alumnre Editor, and. during the past two years, by some clerical work for the fraternity. The work on the mailing list 1HIS proved to be so heavy that the original work of ~he catafoguer has, of necessity, been consider ably neglected.

The mailing list grows with -each year's llew initiates to s\l~h an e:dent thO at fhat task alone is tbe work of one person, if it is kept up as it should be. The duties i'ncident to keeping the mailing list up to date are numi fold. First, there is the recei\<ing of renewals of annual subscriptions. arid an occasional life snbscription, and the sending of moneys so received to the fraternity treasu rer, and the checking o·f card and record ·o n the. g.al lcy mailing list. In addition, there tne the changes to be made from the blanks sent in by individual subscribers. notifying of marriage or cbange of address, or both. Perhaps a short stntement of the amount of work which each ma.rri.age, for example, involves would be of interest here. The old name ba s to be cros sed off from the galley mailini list and the new Dame written in its propel' place in this lilit,

S2

THE ARROU' OF PI BETA PHI

which is arranged geographically. The old card has to be taken out of its alphabetical place in the mailing list set of cards, and the ne~ name written in with the new address. Then, to make the; directory records conform. this change should be noted ON the old card in /he chapter hs/ in the diredory, a new cacrd should be made for tne new married mlrne for the alphabetica.l list, the cross reference sllonldl be made on the maiden card in the alphabetical list, and thegeogFaphical c~ud should also be corrected. Tl1is makes six entries which have to be made for each marriage. Also, in order' to be sure that this n(!)tice will appear in the next ~RROW, a record of it should he sent to the Alumnre Editor, and, to help the province vice -presidents keep their records accurafe, this notice or a record of it should be l';ent to the vice-president ill whose province the iII 4> ha,<; lived. She in torn will make a notation on her card te. mak.e it con for~ to facts~ if the gilrl still remains in her province, or will send the card with the notice to the viec-presidentinlo whose province the 'flewly wed has moved. Two galley mailing lists are kept by the mailh"g clerk, onc of which is kept in her possession, and the other is sent to ilie frat.e rnity publisher who sends Oilt the ARROWS in nccordance with it. The one kept by the mailing clerk is used for notations o€ further changes which come in. in preparation (or the next issue, and after the ARROWS are sent cut hy the publishers, two new copies of the galley mailing list are sent her, and. the process is repeated ad infinitum.

Tne officer in charge of /be mailing Hsf can always find work {or odd moments, if there are any such, in tracing, or attempting to trace, those Pi Phis who leave their places of abode and disappear without a tracej or who give such complete new addresses as !'New York Ci.t y."

An interesting inddent was recently reported of a II ~, a life subscriber, whose lHlme had been takp.n from the mailing list, as her maga~ine 'Was reported unclaimed at tbe address on file for her. At a Founders' Day celebration, she compbtined to a sympathetic II .~ that she had not been reeeh'ing her ARROW. The listener took the name and address of the aggrieved II <1>, and, in sending in ,the renewal of her own 1iubscription to the magazine, Feported the inc.ident, and gave the necessary data to enable the ofiicer in .cnllrgc to put the lost II '.IJ' back on the mailing list with an address which woulc.l reach her. The latter had not taken the trouble, when changing her address in the large city 111. which she was located. to send this change in seMon to avoid annoyance 10 herself, and expense to the f!':lternity incllient to taking her name from the list and putting it back on again with th(' new address.

It might be wen to caU attention here to the (act that a.n ARROW magazine which does not reach tts owner is' returned to tne publisner, but postnge is charged for such return. It ma:v also be well at this time to emphasize the (act that the men: leaving of a new address will not insure the forwarding of magazines. btlt money mllst be left for the postage neCe!;Sllry for this forwa.rding. The delusion seems to be fairly prevalent [hat all one needs to do is to leave a. forwarding address with the 'postmaster, and letters and magazines as well will come blithely fOTward. Such is not tke case. however, and at the present time I regret to say th~t there are several huod'red Pi Phis i,o the "lost column" of Ine mailing Est. The Catalo$lIcr has had visions for maldng the directory useful in se~veral ways, bllt bas lacked time to carry out her plans. If there were lime to. keep the geographical lists in shape, it would be pos~ible fo furnish lists of Pi Pbis living .in certain sections ol our land, to help in the formation of alumnre dubs. where no clubs exist, and so build other centersoi II 4> influence which would be :ll'h'e and forreful. Think what our prese,n t clubs mean to our fraternity, in il1cre1.'L~ecl inlelic_.t for the Settlement School. and of the unlimited p(1ssibilities still ahead of us in this dir~ction, for there !ire many cornl'fS of our country where there are no clubs or organizations of Pi Phis, and where oar pin is il'lmost unknown. It would be "ery desirable also if lists of Pi Phis according to their OccupJtlons coutdbe kept up to date. so that we might at II moment's notke h:\Ve a list of our II 4» phY!iicians, for example, of Pi Phis in V. W. C. A. work, of Pi Phis who wo'uld sene as house mother!i, of Pi Phis interested .i n summer camp work with girls, as counselors. etc., etc.

REPOR T S OF OF F ICERS

S3

There is one v er)' pre iDR' need {or the dir ctory at pre ent. When the pre ent cat oguer receiv d th' file. in 1915, they con i ted f a sectional card cabinet consisting of four CUOD fi e drawer in width. The card now fiU a cahinet 'len eetion high, and there is no room for expan ion , 0 ,jng from experience the time involved in gathering together the record of th hapten: and mak in g tbe cards fo r the lists, th e cataloguer w ould earne tly r eeommen to this con eotion th arch e of :l fire-proof or at 1 a t fire-r i ling cabinet which would hold at Ie t one set of ardsJ perhap preferabl y the chaptet' t, from which the other could be made at any lime, if th y hould be destroyed by fire.

Mo_ t other fraternities o f ou r a.ge have a Ir ady t k n this precaution, and your catalogller feel th t it is hi gh time n n cfJ took the arne step . ! ew section will have to be provid d immediately fo r next yt>3r' inerea, e in member hip, and now i a good time to make this purcha e, e peci lly inee be price of such office furni hings has been recently somewhat lowered .

The plan to p ubl i h .. upplement t the directory or perhap a ne v directory before thi conven tion was aban don ed, owing to the higb cost of printing and alI expen e. incident t hereto. The fil e are. howey r, with the exception of the geographic I list in fair condition to col eet the n ce sary m terial f r a ne:v directory in the n ear future, si nce a n ew edition i ' now i mperatively needeo.

Neither the records o f the m an y chan ge in nam :lnd add r for th e pOl t tme year which have b en recorded, nor th n ame nnd addre .es of til ini ti ates during thi s:une criod a re availabl in publi hed form.

being "~Tben is a high school fraternity not a fraternity?" 00 the whole the enapters have upheld the rule, and 'l ost a few good girls through a high standard of honQr. The great difficulty eocoonter.ed has resulted from the h igh school fraternities dmpping the Greek-letter names and changing their names to c1ub$ without affecting any radi.cal chAnge in their Ofg2.nization. Unfortun ately tne N. P. C. ruling does not directly apply to tbese cases, and is capable of a. liberal interpretation. All cha.pters report tha.t they are earnestly endeavoring to live up to the high school ruling and maDY are working to abolish hjgh school fraternities by sending speakers to high schools and by notifying all high school girls of the national ruling deba.rring them from entering college fraternities.

Very few chapters report any serious difficulties, in most cases an isolated girl here or there, who is affected. and only Columbia A and Pennsylvania A have urged repeal of the ruling. In all states, such as Texas, Kansas, Idwa, Minnesot&, Arizona, et cetera, where high school fraternities are regulated by state legislation no trouble occurs, while in tohe District of Columbia, N'e w York, Indiana., Pennsylvania. et cetera, difficulties are constantly a.rising. Certain fraternities also give dispensations to waive tne rule as has been done at Stanford University recently, and others evade the issue by declaring the high school fraternity a club nota fraternity, which tends to ,c omplicate matters.

The legislation, however, has undoubtedly had a, very wholesome effect, and the high school fraternity with a Greek-letter name) secret in-itiafion" and unwholesome social life seems to be on the wane.

The past three years show a very healthy growth in the spirit of broadmindedness and tolerance in the local Panhellenic groups. A great desire bas been evinced on their part to assist in every way social conditions on the campus and all movements to improve and broaden the college or university.

A very interesting and unusual movement, has likewise arisen in a ngmber of our large state universities and also at other institutions, namely the formation of local groups, which are fostered by the local Panhellenic, and assisted by them in applying to good nationals for recognition.

A larger number of Panhellcnics, than ever befor.e are evincing a strong inteteost in scholarship and are offering cups as rncentivesto good scholarship among the groups represented.

Preferential bidding is being introduced in many new places, the most recent perhaps being Butler, Randolph-Macon Woman's College, Swarthmore, an,d the University of Oklahoma. Syracuse considered it but failed to secure the majority vote to put it into effect.

The Panhellenic rules of the 4ifferent coUeges all show Ii tendency' to reduce expenses of rashing season to a minimum; to simplify rus'hing regulations j and to advocate better cooperation between. faculty and i rateruity members.

Of the sixty chapters only thirty sent reports this spring and while many chapters are above reproach others seem to think that tbe N alional Pall hellenic ~elegate exists only as II. glorified police officer whose business it is to swing the big stick wheaever any of ol1r groups are in trouble and needl other fraternity groups forced into line. Under such circumstances my report is o,f necessity incomplete. On the whole there has been very little breaking of rushing rules, and in two instances where a penalty was infticted by local PanheIlenics, our chapters cleared th,e mselves endrely of blame.

Indiana r.. Kansas A, Nevada A, WashiIi&'!oD B, Vermont A. Minnesota A, and California A all report unusually successful years in their respective local Panhellenics. The ea.rnest cooperation of college women learned during the recent war would seem to be still bearing fruit. Let us hope that in the throe. oC fhe post-war struggle for existence we may nof lose the vision, but may continue to werk toward the ideals, which like Minerva's torch are always held aloft for every Greek to see and follow.

REPORT OF ALPHA PROVINCE PRESIDENT I All the ch.a.pters in Alpha proviJ)ce have been visited by the province president.

Onta,--;o A-December 7-8.

Fo~y-five per cent of the large number of students at Toronto are women,. of an unusually splendid type. In my estimation, the girls i~ Toronto chapter of n B tI» take second place to none. They are cooperative, capable, hospHable and altogether charming. They number thirty-six.

Mr. Jonneret, the. re.W strar, spoke well of their sch9l:lrship and of their influence in college li(e_ The Dean of Women holds them ill lligh Tegard.

One circumstance caused me mingled annoyance and pleasure: While the, girls of the university aIe wi thout any common meetiug pl1ace, the men are happy in the po~se~sion of Hart House,. a very attractive and useful building. It is a recent addition to the universi.ty, nnd has its being because the need wns felt for a center for those student activities which lie beyond the bounds of formal education. It combines a student uniou, a hall, Y. M. C. A. rooms" a section fo.r athletics wHh gymnasium. indoor track, swimming pool, boxing and fencing rooms, etc. It has a dining hall, :Cully-equipped theater, library, chapel', musicroom and faculty room. It is Q beautiful structure. The girls of tlie university are combining their effort.s toward a similar buil'ding, and if enthusia.sm counts for anything, .t hey will achieve it before long. r II} B has recently added a chapter at Toronto, and this gwup· is attacking the problems of a young chapter courageously. K A e excels in scholarship.

Oue very lovely feature at Toronto is the interest which the dty mothers take in the progress of the chapter. While in Toronto I met two very charming mothers, Mrs. J ephcott and Mn. Rogers.

Ontario A has no house. but rents rooms where the chapter meetings are held.

Two ot three of the girls live there.

The alumnre club is large and interested, and enjoys spreads and banqnets with the active gids.

PanheHenic IS exceptionally strong here,. exerting much influence over student life.

I a.dvised the chapter to keep in mind ·good licholarship, high ideals, the needs f)f the Settlement School; to show continued interest in college activities. A bit· of special advice \Vas tbat they should conduct their chapter meeting more in conformity with parliaftlent~ty usage.

II Maine A From Toronto] went to Orono, Me., for .two days. I found l'tfaine A, oar province baby chapter, in a flourishing state with an active membership of twenty-six alert, capable girls. They are fully alive to their fraternity possibili.ties, and exert a stron.g influence in college life. First scholarship honors have been theirs dudng the past four years, and from all indications will continue to be theirs. They ha\'e splendid fraternity spirit and make it a point to maintain congenial relati€ms with other fraternities represented at Orono.

Pi Beta Phis are very active in Y. W. C. A. and student council, holding offrces in both organh:ations.

There are no ,,<omen's . chapter-hQuses.. The majlilrity of Qur girls live in, Balen6ne Hall, the largest girls' dormito.r y. They rent rooms, where chapter and sodal meetings are held.

Their trainiRg as a local was evidenced by the manner in which they conducted their chapter meeting during my v-isit. Their archives' were not com.plete, but I believe Miss Whalen, their conespo.n ding secretary, has since wyitten for and obtaified the missing articles.

Tbe active chapter entertained many of their alurnnre at their initiation banquet.

Burlington, bec:lUse of its ize and loca tion, does not hold man y f the grnduates, so the alu mna! club is small. This se ms to be the w ak point of the chapter. K A e has a strong ri al club.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHJ

v

Marsad,vu/fs A I visited Bost.on University from December 17-i9. The women student;;; here outnumber the men. Fraternity developmenf is difficult because of the nature 0'( the university. It is a. small un~e'rs'ity in a large city, and the girls travel rong distances to classes :md meetings {rom v:nious parts of the city. The lac.t that there 'is no chapter-house addS' to thi$ diffiQuity. However, the Pi Bela Phis hold their own among the ,c hapters of ~ K, d .6. d, r cI> B, K Ie r and others.

I could not obtain a general scholastic s,tanding, so I trJok the individual names of n B ~ members to the registrar. He was "ery kind in giving me this information. Some of the Pi Phis stand very well in scholarship, while there is room for improvement in others. Miss Hinckley made ~ B K. Mrs. Black, one of tne faculty l'adies who has. the intp.rest of aU the girls very macn at heaTt, was most generous in her pf~ises. The girls are reserved, almost re~iring bul this may be due to their college surroundings. They have no good meeting place for social aft'airs. There is' a women's union, and tbe girls observe Panhellenic rulings very strictly. Chapter-room conduct is good. There is a strong alumn~ club ,i n and near Boston which keeps in close touch with the actl ve girls.

I advised the girls to bul'ld up, if possible, a f'riendlier spirit wifh girls of other chap,t ers. This university ha.s splendid plans for the (utUl'C, an.d no doubt the improved coHege conditiolls. wiB help tow3'r d the growth of it!'; various cha.pters.

Their meet,ings are held lit the cha.pter-house and afe splendidly conducted.

Thealumn:e nre few, but what they lack in numbers is quite made up in interest. They attend chapler meetings ,and all chapter a.fI'ai,r s. There is an, annual alumnre banquet during Commencement.

There is an cJ!"n'ient of elf-satis fa tion in t)ur chapter which may be a reflection of t'he u.niverliity. It may he due to ~))lcTJdjd ti.lluncial conditions in the fral'ernity. The alumu.c are unliring in their zeal for fhe ('hul ter'~ g!JI!ld, and support t.heactive girls :1t t\'ery turn.

They are prominent in college life. onc of thescniors ha\';ng made the hmlOrarr senior women's society, and a n other, cJ· K iI;. T hese are considered good honors in Syracuse.

Panhellenic is not partiClllarly strong ; three or fonr of the women's fraternities tried to have preferential bidd in g adopted for next }' ear, but failed.

Some of the younger fraternities feel that they are not ready for it, and prefer instead a chanire in the membership campaigning system. I can see their point.

The girls in our chapter are business-like an d con duct their meetings well.

One sees the typical up-to-date girl. perhaps a bit too up-to-date.

T have ad\'Jsed the chapter to be very cn-reful in the selection of pledges. The alumnre advisory board absolutely refuse!! to pass on any girl who fails to come up to requirements.

VIII }'o"k 4 I found our chapter in Ithaca in a thriving condition" The gir,l s have rented :l hou!;e which accommodates fourteen of their· members. Tbey manage their home very nicely and hope sometime to have a house of their own.

Tbey are strong, reliable girls. and have a future abead of them. Dea.n 'Vhite was very kind in her criticism. She ma.dethe statement that she could depend on 11 B ~ lor splendid cooperation.

They have brought up' their scholarship to second on lrll! fraternity list, are active in cortege life and hold several important otlices.

• I did not have an opportunity to attend a chapter mee!in'g, but fouod the archives ill good order. The June, 1918, ARROW is mi~sing.

The chapter bas had some trouble over pledging Mildred Young, a girl who had joined a Greek-letter high school society since lCjT6. They pledged her, not know'i ng this. The Delta Gammas were active in caus.ing the breaking of the wedge, and arc now ru!'hing the girl. I have 'Written to Miss Keller, to find out if the girls can he helped in this matter. Privileges in ,c onnection with a case of tl'l is s(lrt have been granted before and possibly may be granted again. Mildred is still very friendly \Y~th the Pi Beta :Phis. It seems a pity if ~he must be lost to them.

The alumna: are few, but interested.

At all time!; the necessity for sound scholarship bas been unusually empha.si1.p.d, and I am glad to be able to report that, in the majority of the seven chapters during the past two years. II :B 4> has compared very favorably with her rival fraternities not only in the number of Phi Bela Kappas and graduates ("tIm laud!! but in the high percentage of consistently good student!;.

Pennsylvania A has this ye:u come into the permanent possession of s. beautiful !'-il\'er loving cup, awarded by one of its own alumnre, to the group at Swarthmore who, for the three successive years just completed, should have maintained Ihe Mghest scholarship average.

In B utler Colleg , Panhelleoic was a very eak organiutioD. The ye r 1920 a 11 marked improvement, however, and largely through the effort of IT B 4>, Panhellenic now seems to b e t bli bin its rightfnJ place in utler College life. That ear al 0 brought farth r improvement in P anbellenic relati ons on the campus a t l'ranklin oil ge. With the entrance f ~ Z in to F r anklin in 1920, M ichigan I ft the Gnly chapter in Delta.

The fi\'e chapter of Delta Province w ere p r ominen t in college activities in 1919 and 1920.

College spirit and loyalty to the in tituti ons showed wholesomeness on the par t of ur chapter member .

The coopcmtio n an intere. t of P i Phis in thjs p rovince in the prospect of s t a bli hing fn cli::tn (l. .6. in Purdue U ni versi ty was most interesting and unus ual an ha probably done much tO\ ard fost rin g a. b roader vi sion a nd greater n ational spi rit a mon g us.

The spirit of cooperation between :tla mnre groups and active chapters was abo ve average in every case. Tl1ere ,,,,as till opportunity for a.dv.'sory ,-ommiltees t o b ecome more p o ten t factors in cha pter life. however.

One of the most important problem s in both H}19 and 19:20 was that of obta ining satjsfa tory and e ffi cien t ch perons. Other problems had to do with th choice of girl for memb ershi p. the elimina tion of extravagant summer entertaining for t ose girls, development of leadership within the groUps, atfilhl.ti o n of Pi Phi ' f r om other gronps, and general P:mheI1enic:: problems.

Socially, the Pi Pbis of thi province have been prominenf, and thl~y have p t-oved them el ve , w ~th one e ·cept ioll, to be channing h o te ses. In the cas e o f the one excepti o n suggestion s per taining to courtesy w ere offered.

Business meetings were well conducted in every chapter and fraternity study was receiving emphasis.

Upon the req uest of the Province Vice-president, a l umnre clubs were visited by the Province P residl!Jlt. w'b en possible, a,nd report of such visits were submi tted to Gr nd Co uncil.

T he resignation of the Delta Province President became necessary in th e :-ummer of 1920, because of ill health.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

Interut in tke National Orga"izati(Jn For the year 192~)-1921 t.he following reports indicate interest in the national aspects of our organization. Indiana r reports programs devoted to the Setllemen t School, the n B ~ Fellowship, 11 B ~ Loan and ARROW Endowment.

Indiana 4 reporls a program devoted to the Settlement Scnool, a gift of $11.60 collected since April 23 by means of a cO~ii bank located in the living-room of the chapter-house and the exhibiting of baskelqf and 'o ther products of the school. Michigan B arso repor,t.s a Settlement School program and a gift of $50 to the Fellowsrup Fund.

For the year 1919-19z0 Miss Deming's ,r eport shows $130 confributed' by Del ta Province to the Scttlemcn t School.

Use 0/ Advisory Board and Resident Alumnte Afembers Three chapters in the Province have worked with their advisory committees on s~cb problems as election of chapter officers, pln»s for hOl1se mnnn,g-eroent, arrangement of new budget system, rotation of comm'ittee work, practicaE lessons in Robert's Rules of Order.

1 t is a silgll of a splendid constructive spirit ",nen n chapter recognizes that advice is necessary in dealing with other problems than tbose of discipli1le nnci 6,nance.

A hility to Judge O'wn Cllapter The use of the Manua! for Chapter Development is doing much to give the gids an impersonal view of the value of their own g,roup. In answer to the request, "State definite things wnich the chapter has done to help the college autnorities carry out their rules and reguta;tions"~three of the chapters show tbat they are interpreting Topic I of tbe Manual in a ~ery defi,nite, practical] manner.

The chapters in Delta. Province need to be shown the value of working, with the Dean o€ Women. Although! it hilS not been possible to get the opinions of the Deans of Women fl'om nil six colleges, yet the fOllr who have been interviewed report the attitude of the B <I> chapfer Inerubers as average or below average. This training in courtesy might belong to the work of the advisory committee.

PanJlt!!lenic Reldtio" ,f Panhellenic relations 9t In d iana A and Indi;mrL r :He much improved O\' CT those given in ,M iss Demi,ng's reports of 1919 and 1920. Due to Miss Deming'!; influence tbe entire pro\'"ince seems. awake to HIe \'n~ue of working constantly to raise tne standards ilnd much of Pilnhellenic constructive work is being done in al1 groups.

Comparative College Sdzolarship Ra,,/,illK It is difficult to make a comparison of the rank attained by FI .n <I> in the various college groups because the number of rival organizations varies in tbe d i fTerent colleges. Indiana B in a: group of tell organizations ranked seventh in 19 (9, first, in 19.20 lind sixtlt in 1921. The 1920 reports stafe that. un del' their system of membership c:unpaign ~ng this year, fres'hn~en could not I,i ve in the house and as a consequence the close supen-i$ion of the preVlO\1S year could not be exercised. l\'lichigan A in a group of two, ranked on a p:lr in 1919. first in 1' 920 an d first in 1921. This group has the lenst opposition of :Iny group in the province. During the past three ye:lrs impro,'emcnt in schoi:trship ha~ been made by all the groups. There is still much room fOT i01pnw ement.

chapter does not take its scholarship committee as, seTiously as i,t should. \Vhen the girl!; were m~de to realize that schol1arship is nUT !:itrongest we'npOD agacinst anti-fraternity reg;sJation, tbey did, tlu:ir beloit to bring' up the record of the PT€lvince. and succeeded very well.

I would Hke to see the inter·fraternity spirit fostered by t!very chapter of 11 D <10;' also a friendly spirit toward tne non-fraternity girl. There are just as fine girls outsi_d e of frnternities and in other gFOlJpS as there are in our own chapters. What a pity to lose the value of these !riend!'ihir's by falling to cuhiv;lle them.

Along thi~ line. I have heard severe criticism ot chapter!;, n ot in Epsilon Province, regarding their treatment of transfers. The national org,.lDization docs not expect or require a chapter to a,ffiliate transfers, if they dfJ not deem it wise.

However, our Grand CouDdl does elCpect and require .that tr:lJlsfers be treated with courtesy due all Pi Phis. There' is nothing so despicable as a c1anni!\h, snobbisn gro-up. [ t is against aU the ideals of oUir organization nncl take~'i a.way our very right for existence. There could be no 'weaker link in our chain thnn a chaptc'r. which. as a group ,i s discourteous to girls {rom the other chapters.

I feel very sirongl'y on thi~ matter and. I hope this condit,ion. wj,ll not continue.

In my VI·ork in the Province I met with splendid coi:;peT'lltion on the part of t'he girls and an earnest endeavor to 5tTengthcn their weak points. When tbe committee on Efficiency and Standardization is in thorough working order, the whole 'nat,ional organization VliIJ be materially streng,thenedi. I did not think it possible to keep :such an accurate check on every chapter, until I had the pT'ivilegc of working on that committee.

I know tbat Mrs. Smith \Vm learn to love the girls of Ep~ilon Province a:s I did and .I am sure the girls will find her a great help to them.

Respectful ly submitted, OLIVE KELLER LAWRENCE.

REPORT OF EPSILON P'R OVINCE PRESIDENT Epsilon Province President submits the follow ,i ng report: This repore dates from February, 1921, at which time r took up the duties of President of E 'psilon Province.

All of the chapters. had been previously ,risited by Mrs. Rugg" It was my good fOlitune to be inv-i ted by Mrs. Tannabill and Wisconsin ,n ch.3pter to a reception at Mrs. Tannahill's home in honor of Mts. Rugg who wa~ vi!'Olting the chapter at that time. This was of inestimable value to me besides aHording me an opportunity of becoming acquairnted with our Grand Officers. Jt was Q. most delightful and inspiring visit.

Upon my return I visited Illinois E c'h aptcr and had a. conference with [he Dean of \Vornen as ~Irs. Rl1gg was unable to arrange it during her brief stay.

Sillce then J have kept in personal contact with the chapter and alumnre and am most interested in t.he growth of ,t heir house fund. - The raising of $40,000 for a: chapter-house has proved a uniting bond in many ways.

My kno,w ledge of other chapters in my Province is very meager and gained chiefly through canesponcJcnce in regard to "stunts" {OF "Stunt Night" at convention. They have all shown a wiJlingness fo c@operate and .with a. few exceptions hase been very prompt in replying, Perhaps it wouJd not be amiss to Tecord tho3.t the, small colleges were the roost prompt in replyin~ due no doubt to the fact that their 3ctivi,ties are not so varied and their chapter life hoMs a more important place in their lives.

Her r eport to me, upplemented by the COrrl!! pondence of the year, indicates that in general all chapters nre Boon bjng, gaining :.tead ily in trength an d sending ou t each yea r plendid types of wom nly girls we ll -equipped to meet the d emand placed on the coJlege wom an of today.

Me mbership campaignir. g has been very s uccessful; very few bid were lost-there should h ave bee n n one.

A glance at th e Ii t of offices in differen t organ izations hows that ou r chap ters nre well repre ented in the anous college acli vi ties. College honors ba v ' been numerous during th past two yea.rs, but h ave not. been announced as yd for this year. ru t he matter of scholar hip ve believe (hat Zeta Provine as a whole is advanc ing, thou gh we could wish for greater effort in Some chapter!';. Many of the girls are mak ing xcellent gr a.d ~s, m any are mo r e thtlll average, but it r emains for a f ew to b indi ll ren t, or by I aving conditions o r un fini shed work to pull down what might b a sple n did :lverage. C loser gradi ng in most colleges h:ls made it djffic ult to judge wh th r ch ap ters have na1l)' ad vancec:l or not.

JI owever, in most chapters a. sincere effo r t h as been p ut for th to improve their st a.nd ing, even tho ugh the ac tu al a ver:tges m ay not sh ow this year. I find some misunderstandin g ca u sed by eli-ITer n t sy t ems of marking, which C::tUse s lrne ~ha pter not to get all the cr d it th ·y dese rve.

materially on the campus. They are endeavoring to correct this I feel sure.

This chapter is very local in spirit, and has existed more as an independent club.

Their scholarship is not to be extremely proud ot. However, these facts they are aware of, and are working for hetter conditions. Texas A leases a houst( which they have occupied for mg.ny years. They hope to build some day, since now the university site is established for a certainty.

I.A>uisiana A. deserves more credit .for merely -existing than any chapler ot whjch I know. They have liurl,ived t:hree years of the rankest slil,ti-i.r stel'nity agitation. This situation is apparen tly just i,n Ihe same uncertainty as three years ago except for the fact that the matter is Olit of the l1ands of the faculty and at the mercy of the Board of Auministrators. 'fhe facuIty dedares itself ne~ltr.al; nevertheless when ~sked the direct question will say ((I'm against WOmen's fraternities in Newcomb."

There is no place provided for the hOlIsing of the fraternities in Newcomb; and not even an informal group meeting is sHowed on the campus. So the girb go abol),t as i'{lconspicuously as possible. never whistling' the u·c all," or in any way elllphasizing fhe "Arrow." However, in spite of the fact ,t hat tlleir furniture is housed in different homes, and their treasures slor·e d here, yonder and everywhere'. they are, wonderfully united and most democratic. In the Province, their scholarship needs improvement but in Newcomb they rank well. They are far remm'ed from all of us. There a,re five hundred miles between Texas Band Louisiana A and they are the closest neighbors in the Province. It is .n ot surprising' then that their natiOJilalisfil is poor. But they are earnestly working to better ~hi$ condition.

I Next year, they are to commence with second year prefercnHal biclcling. This may quell the storm in time. They are commanded to get a Plll1ihellenic house by next year or "get oul." But the se~uring of ·a house is next to impossible and I hardly believe that the threat will be carried out.

Texas a has the best chapter in it!'l history. The active chapier has tried to be careful ~n taking in it!'> pledges. Espedally are they trying to eliminate the one y~ar girl. It is shameful that ·t his year closes TeX3!; Beta's sixth year unci only five girls will have been graduated out of the chapter. The girls are worrying, which is a good sign and I believe means progress for them. They are handicapped in ha.ving such cramped quarters (only a room in the dormitory which two girls have to share). Tney are trying to secure a house for next year, but j ,t remains to be seEn whether one is available. Only last fall were the womeII permitted to have fraternHy h.ouses. Texas 13 ,vas supposed to have second term pledging lust fall and third term initiation. Eut Panhellenic cbanged its mind and announced JOost unexpectedly about a month after the opeuing of the fa.n term-"ptedge Day. Two weeks from Monday. Initiation only after the completion of thirty hours, that is, two terms work." Next year, there is to be open campaigning for the first rune days. And you know the scramble. This is deplorable but it cannot be otherwise. I hope after next year's lesson and trial, that second term or second year pledging may be established. The girls are very democratic here and on the whole have a: fine conception of nationnlizaticn. However, much improvement is needed in scholarship and the realization of cnapter responsibi.lity.

I have found ,t hat 11 til is. very active; in an college a.cti,·ities and weIll rep.e~ented.

Not one adverse criti cism or comnien.l nas come to me through my investigations from townspeople or facuIty·. Only one student in these six chapte"r 5 has been caned before the faculty or Panhellenic. I know that the scholarship average of Theta Province is below "par" and nationalization alsQ. The latler can only be remedied. J believe, by brillgi,ng convention SOU.tJl c,'er so often. \Vc need you down SoU/it! This is the appeal of every chapter and club.

J[ wish to thank ,t he chapters in Theta Province for their earnest c09peration and many kjndnesses to me.

Respectfully submitted, ELLEN CLARE Gn..I.ESPIE KR1BS.

All of the unh;rcrsitiel< and colleges in th i p rovince ha\'e been astn g drastic mea sures to r ai e the scholnr"hip ·tandards in their institution .. T hi means th:Jt the chapters have been doing better work th a n when the last report was math: to c()D\;cntion. H owever, the w ork is not np to the goal set in tb e provi nce, whic'h is, at the t op of the list of women's fraternities, in ever y college.

My relations with the various chap ters ~ave been d li g h tCu!. It ha b een possihle {or me to visit Washington A, Oregon A a nd O regon B, frequen tly, a th ey nre not far d.istant. I TC'grct that I h ave bad on ly one vi it with W a b in g· ton n, which is located a.bout fOUf hundred Dliles fro m Portland. Th se visits have nJade: me acqaainted witb the girls 'i n their nome life. I have seen tbern and heard them in the clas rooms, have noted tllcir activi tie on the campus, and n a: \' eknown them as g racious hostesses. They arc ~\'ell 'round ~d, intelligent, jolly, wholesome college girls who will take their pbces in the world of active women ready to d o th.eir shaTC, when th.e y leave the college halls.

Conditions fire ~;Ont what better Ih[m bst )'cat in our colleges. but (hey arc still very much congested, Fac:ulty me.mbers work on heavy schedules. Appropriations have b een granted in both \Vashington and Oregon which win heJp mater):I11y. \>Vushington A has. m::tintaincd :l large m ~m be r~hip.

The cbapter has purchased 8 splendid lot, on which only one' more payrn en t is due. Act nn) buildjng of the house wilt bct"in when conditions become 5ta<ble. The chapter has lost few bids to rivals. The cooperation h as been better for two years, The girls h:lve had serious trollble this year with house mothers. One was not suitable for the position from a sodal standpoint. The latter part of the year a change was made and the girls were happy j,n their choice. Several OQ,t stlfnding honors ,,'ere won by members of the chapter, Two made "Toto,," and one ,vas t'lectell tn of» B K this year, 1\fan}! others won places of distinction.

THE ARROHI OF PI BETA PHI

bas dr:lpJ.led sc\r,e rnl points, due probably to onc' girl. The ch:tpter is known on the campns for a, rllre type of hospitality. Panhellenic conditions are above average.- Difiicult problems have faced the chapter this yt~ar but I feel confident they will be corrected. The girls have taken their share of honors on the L::lDlj}US. Archives were well kept when I made a visit to the chapter.

Oregon A has bad 3. \rery 13rge chapler for two year;;, but she is cutting down the number, In ,t he fall the house ren 't ed by the chapter \\'OS !>old, ~he one obtained "'::\S 's maJller ~ind inadequate, thou,gh plea~(lnt.

An annel( h(l!\ been main,la;ned, but, of course adds to the expense. n :owever, owing to the mana,gemcut of the housemother, who handles tne business ill this chapter, the financial rating i's abo\'c criticism. Mrs. Benson tla;; been with the girls Jor yc:1rs and hal; had :1 wonder lui in£luence for good in the chapter. Ol'egon A owns a choice location Ilnd will build when eonditions warrant. Sc\'ecall generoU5 gifts ",:lye neen made to the chapler buildin~ fund. First place in sc.n()a1'snip. wh.ich once belonged to the chapter. nas been lost and the girls are working to regain it.

PanheUenic spirit is Dot harmonious. Bitter rivalry exists, Oregon A was tP-erHillzed for the first time j," h~r exi,stence last fail, and s(;ceptc(l the situation g'f"accfuny. Many bonors have been con (erreff, upon members o'l the chapter t'his year. One outst.anding, was the Gerlitlge.r Cup. which is awarded t,o the junior woman who is the most prominent' (,rolil aU college view points. Serious pr.')blems ha~'c been fe~v this }·ear. Cooperation he !> been good. Archi'\!es are weU kept.

Oregon D has hf:llt a very e,oDgenial group' thill, yetlr. Leadership has improved many lax conditions. Tbe chapfe.r is not at the ,bead in scholarship, but is working toward that goal, a.nd ranks well with riva'l s. Financial statu!'l is satisf:lctory. The chapter bas, plans to build a ncw home as soon as it is ad\"isable from a bu~i:nf:!sS sta.pdpoint. The greatest need of the chapter for the coming yef:\r is a: housemoLher of the type desired by n B -I» for her dlaptets. Oregon B was penalized last fall because an alumna broke a Panhellenic rule. It was unintentional and the Dean of 'Wotn~n later intcl'ceded for the chapter with the rC~iUlt that the penalty was ti fled in the spring term. Some of the higiwst honors on the campus have been WOIl. Three members ha\'c 'been on councH of <l> e 1(, The chapter has !;hown a decided lnlprove.rocnt in lliany ways.

wnich came in after April 30. This, added to national dues a,n d gifts, to other funds, makes a ,t olal of over $J"ooo (or t.he year, or over $8 per club member.

A new feature of our work this ye~u hali been a. Provinc;e Round Robin. It has visited each of OUT tcm clubs and started on its second trip full of good ideas, plans and achievement~. But while letters are good, personalt visits are better. li feel that a definite plan should be wotked out 'whereby officer~ who are, inspecting chapters should also visit dubs whicll 'c an be easily reached. Clubs do not need !he same kind oJ supervision that ehfipters hl\ve, but they do need ,t he inspiration ,o f personal acquaintance with fraternity officers. I recommend that oflicers who are visiting chnpters should consult "'l'th the ptrovince vicepresidents beforehand on club conditions, S"o that they may be most helpful to these clubs, and that tbey shoul'd make a c;le6nile reiP ort nftcrw:lJ'ds. I have' tried for three years to secure some such cooperation but without result. I feel tl13t this com'cn tion should adopt som~ plan for direct supervision gf ou.r morel than eighty clubs.

Ruth Curtiss of the New York Club has planned our Province :Exhibit, which shows some of the more intcr,e stiBg features of our work. But aftctr aU, we are most proud C!f tJhe fact tbat before Calvin Coolidge was Vice-president of the United States, Mrs. Coolidge was Vice-president of Alpba Prov,iDce.

REPORT . OF BETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT Bela Province Vice-president submits the following report: Beta Province as :formed at the last convention bad nine clubs. Since that time (our have been added; La.ncaster, l?a., Miami Valley, Ohio~ Northeastern Pennsylvama, and Central Pennsylvania. During the last year Carlisle has disbanded due to smaU numbers and other activities, so the club roll now is twelve.

Near~ y every type of club is among these twelve, from the large city club of 100 members in PhiJadelphia, to the sman club of the required number of ten a.s Northeastern Pennsylvania. \Vith some, em'respondence has heen carried on regularly and .1 feel that I have kept in touch qui ,t e weB with the club, even though 11 have had an opportunity during the three years of \<isiting only two.

However, I cannot' urge it too strongly that all clubs be, asked to pay more attention to correspondence with officers. In a few cases, they are very lax in this regard. One step forward in the betterment 'of the organization in the Alumnre Department, to which we are striving, would be ,t o insist upon the clubs sending dues, reports, etc., within a certain, time. The chapters far surpass the clubs in this. Since it is impossible for many Province Vice-presidents to visit every club, it is very important that all clubs write to her and ten their plans.

Considetr-ing the fact tbat the three years since the last con,v ention have been in the midst of war a,nd the very IJlfIsettled conditi'ons resulting from war, the clubs in Betc3 Pro\<inoe have done exceedio'g ly well in their work for the Settlement 'School a.nd for ot her n B 4- funds. Each year the contributions from the pro\'ince ha,"'e been larger (han the year before and this year doubles last. Over $3 ••WO' was stnl to me this year by the twelve c1uhs for SeUlement School and $1,463 ,last year. Much of this great incre:}:se is due to Cleveland, Ohio's, splendid gift of $1,804.:z.5. They worked hard and I'aised this money in various wavs. Their club bas increased in tlIe last two years from 34 t'o S6 members Dut their Seu,l ement SehoolcontTibutions and enthus.iasm have increased in a far greater proportion. But while Cle\'cland far leads all other clubs in th; pro\ince iIi. amount of mone,)', the others ha,ve done particularly well this year. Excluding Clc\'eland, the dubs, ha're given an average of $4.35 per member. The most successful mean!> of raising money ha.v e been rummage sales, sale of Christmas c.ards, and card parties. ~ I believ,e each club feels strongly the need ot' the alumna: in helping Pi Beta Phi's splendid work at Gatlinburg. And tbe chapters are doing more than formerly for the School.

The curd catnlo~ue now contains 1,004 Tl ames, 400 ba\'ing been added since 1918. That th~' list is not complete nor ahsolutely eorre-ct, ( am llware; but it is as up-to-date as ARROW file s, ah~rnll::e personals, directol!"Y, and other retlsonabl.y obtainahle menns cnn make it. Some of the 'i nformation that I had thought desirable (or the cards, had to be ahandQne4J because of my inability to oblailJ it except from such a compara~i ... dy small number tnat it did not seem, worth whi ,le to attempt to use it. Tbe cards show. therefore, only t.he 113me (ll1U rr,ie:.u :md maiden), n.ddrcss, chapter, date of initi ation, and "Kt'Y N'mnbcr."

From fhree to fiVe eire.ubr letters ha\~e bee.n senl. to each duh each year, and 'i ndhidual letters-a great many more. Hetween fi fty ond sixty lelfers we re mailed ht-!>t year to alumna: conct'rning the renewal of Settlement School pleuges or the paying of back pledges. This was done at the suggestion of Mrs'.

Richardson, who 5<'l) t the lIam('~ , .a nd the responses, though only twenty-four in numbe r , we're su prompt anfl checrin .g th-a,t it made the efTort most worth while.

H the)f Wel!"C no! already subscribers, .lJ1d contribute:. to the Settlement ~chOl)r.

From the first · J'jf,ty I,etters, one rtlplly only was received , So I came t,o the conclusion that timc, ~trcllgth llnd materi:t1ls were being wasted thereby, and gave up tne p ,r·Q ject.

The (lrCose-rH Delta PrMin Ge began with SIX :llumn;c clubs. Two of these clubs, Hiflsda!e and.

T he terrible: influenza epidemic also contributed to disorgani;ting t.he clubs for the year following the War_ The l:tSt two years ha,\<e been very successful and now Theta Province has nine flourishing clubs. 'T here are two in l'e x3.s, fou l' in Oklahoma, two in Arkansas and one in Louisiana. They pay their national dues, have II B 4J p,rograms and make a yearly contribution to the Settlement Schoo'!. Especially a r the d ubs making t.his (;:ontrihntion to the School their ch.ief interes l . There is a henlthy rivalry amonj;; all the dubs concerning this contribution, and women are venturing into new ways of raising money by rummage sales, benefit teas, ag.c ncies, etc., for the sake of the Setttement Scbool. A little experience in money m:lking in pires bigger pla n s for the following year.

I have but one s ugges tion t.o' m:1ke, and it will probably be discussed at this convenlion. Can we raise the national alumnre dues and with this money pay a pMt of ~hc expenses of cl ub delegates to convention? This would lead to a clo~er org:uJizution of lh· alumn:.c depar tment.

splendid shape, with excellent programs and an entJlusiacStrc membership,. Tucson aind Nevada. have had a successful year but su1Ter somewbnt from lack of experience. There seems to be !). real need of more direct supervision in tlie case of these newer clubs, composed larg'e ly of alumna! from new chapters with hut little fraternity experience. Would it not be possible for the visiting melhber of Grano Coull€il to investigate and rep'o rt on these clubs as thoroughly as she doe!'; the aeti\'e chapters, even to examini'ng recQrds and files and criticizing pro· grams and financial budgets. I am sure it would prove 8. "ery real help bot,h to the clubs and to the vice·presidents. Direct pefsonal assistance is worth more t·ban any number of suggestions in writing £rQrn an officer many miles away.

The letters from the Grand Vice-president,. the su.ggestiolls .ior raisUl'g money for the Settle-ment School and the lists of supplies needed by the School have all proved! most helpful. Tbe ronline work has been heavy. considering the few clubs in the province, for it was necessary to build prndically an enti'rely new card index. This is particularly difficult in Southern Co.liCornio., where so many Ql tJle members are transient. For inst!1nce, I h3.\re been trying for Qver two months to locate two former Los Angeles Club members, both acti ve workers while they were in (he city but who have mo'"ed away without leaving any forwarding address.. Therefore, wnile' manY' hours have been spent on the cards, they are· still far from complete. .

NOf,t hcrn California easily leach; the province this yen both in active memberli and in contributions to the Set·t lement SchooF. They have sent $37 in na.tionsil dues and' $283.05 for Ihe School. In addition they have given $10 to the Scholarship Fund and have se'n,t a Chrisfmas box: of toys and clothing to Gatlinburg.

Los Angeles has $23 in dues to her credit and has sent $235.33 (or the Settlement School ~ Nevada., $13 in dues and $21 for tne Schoo ~ ; Tucson failed to report the amount of dues but sent $50 direct to the treasurer for the School.

REPORT OF THE COMMlTTEE. ON FRATERNITY STUDY AND

EXAMINATION The Chairman of the Committee on Fraternity Study and E-xamination sDbmits the following report: This Committee was reorganized andl the ~ope of its work delayed l.n the {ali of 1918. Although handicapped by a 104 peI cent "Iahor tarn over" (there having been twenty- foul" persons who at various times accepted appointment fOI the ten places on the COmiD.ittee) certain definite accomplishments may be cited in rev·iew.

First-Editorial Work. In the fall of 1918, at the request of the Grand Council, the Committee compiled a study for pledges and in 1919. a handbook of U B cit. It is their hope that these pa.mphlets have been found helpful.

Seccnd-ChapteT Sludy and Examinatio". Following the idea that c;l'amming for an examination rarely resul'ts ill as good a ioundation or as broad a grasp of the subject as continued study, the chairman nns announced topics severa] times during ,t he year to indicate the scope of tme annual examination. A supervisor for each province in touch with an alumna, bas guided chapter study a long these lines, sending outlines, topics, etc., to the chapters. The' results in most cases have p,rovefi the worth of the method. Those chapters who hove honestly done reguJar studying during the year have reaped their reward in their h'o nor roll and in greater love {or what they now undersfand better.

The aIlnual examination has been made out by the chairman in consultation, ,vith several members of the Committee and has been submitted to the Grand President. The statement at the end of the examination was inst·ttuted because of the carelessness in a few chapters amounting to virtual dishonesty. It is in conformity withlhe pledge or slatemen,t used In most colleges which have the honor system.

Third-Pll!dg~ Study and E:um;nal;o". In order to insore a sa,t isfactory and stundard amount of fraternity knowledge and principles before initiation. the Committee has conducted study for pledges and each supervi.sor has set an examination in her province. To be more fair, the aim this yea.r has been to have only one examination in each province, when possible, on the same day.

Could we have a uniform examination next. year for aH pledges?

Many problems have arisen in the conduct of this work. In easel' where a respon~ible alamna has been in close touch w~th. the supervisor and chapter snd where the conesponding secretary or member speciaJlly assigned has handled corre!;pondence promptly, few or no, difficulties have ar,i sen. Unfortunately, in some cases, not,i ee! are not read, letters are not answered, the alumna! advisory committee gets to work too late in the [all or proves irresponsible and then misunderstandings and curt telegrams ate the result. It is to be hoped that the: ground work has been firmly laid during the last three years and that a fine structure oC intellige,l !t ~ womanhood may be erected tber,e an.

May the Chairma.n' emphasize lOOT maltiers ': that the sopervisor of the province must set and correct the pledge examination and that no pledge may be, initiated uatil the supervisor reports to the chapter that she has passed j that topics for study !lDd the fraternity examination 81"e announced in the October ARROW and usnalty in the January Bulletin and that to be exempt from thesr:uHi& examination.

HFPORT ()F 'THE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTE'E The LIb.... " Lllrship Commi.ttee submits the following report: Si'Dcethe last e ,,11 \ FI.. ;nn the Schobrship Committee has accomplished four things. the succe's and value o( which we can not definitely determine.

First, it issucli bulletins during fhe col1e,:?;e year. designed to hring to tbe :ltt('ntion of each chapter, certain information regarding scholarship matters.

The committee sought in this way to keep the Ilttention of chilpter committees focused on ",bat II B til is doing na.tionally and locaJly in its efforts to improve fraternity scholarship.

Second, it issuecl a 1i~t of chapter scholarship committee ciullcs which outline!i in detail the composition and mode of operating of ch3pter commitlee~. Tbe list of duties was designed to develop p,r omptness :lnd nceurncy in handling the chapfer work and in cooperating wi th the nalional committee.

Third. the committee niade 3 survey of chapter scholarship regulations. The tcesuhs of the survey were published in THE ARROW and subsequent inquiries (rom chapters would indicate thnt the information. has been helpful.

Fourlh, a change was made in the bbnks lor reporting grades and also in the method of computing 3,\·erages. As there were compla,i nts w'ith tbeold N. P. C. blanks, 'So there 3I'e c(}mpl~lints with these. At best any plan which we may d{wise must be :lpproxin1:1te and not exact. So long as colleges differ in grading we will be unable to dc\·ise asc:lle of averages for frnterni'ly use which wi'll he satisfactory 10 every onl!.

It ha!il seemed to the committee thnt on the whole, chapter vision of sch(~1arsllip problems is enlarging rapidly. Chapter cooperation is marked by grenter care and promptness, with e'3ch succeed ing year.

Respectfully submilted, -

REPORT OF TIlE COMMITTEE ON EFFICIENCY AND STANDA R OIZA TI 0 N The Committee on Efficiency and Standardizatio.n submits the following report: Since the path of tbis committee has, like that 'of most new organizations, been beset by many difficulties, a report for the uTork of the past two years i~ made with the hope that Ihe committee will be j.udged more by the ideas a:nd ideals which it hns tried to place concretely before t.he chapters th3-n by the actual re~uhs obtained. The committee believes in lhe object which led to its org-nuizalioll-not the ranking o( ch~pters but the gi\dng totbem of a tangible expression of the idealls towards which they must work~and it feels confident that' its sQc~essors will be able to see the results which at present necessarily lie in the future.

As the most Qnderst:mdable way of reporting on the methods used. the cnmmitlee has prepared a chart showing rletaile.d annual reports and comparative two-year reports. A list of tbt hC3-dings which form the basis for grading was published in the October, 1920, issue of THE ARROW, and a copy is appended to' tne chart r-ho\il,·n. Chapters are graded by reports ~QbID,itted by Grand Councit members, province presidents, and Dational' officers and committee members, whose work t" prim;ui,ly with aclh'e chapfers. Detailed reports are made b}' province

pre ·dents and Council ember for chapters hich h a ve been visi ted by them, and reports upon cooperation honld be made by all officer and committee member conce rned. Chapter records ai submitted in tbe form of initiation cer ti ficate and annual r port ent to the G rand SecTe r y re the basis for gradin g under the heading of Initiation vs. Graduation. R eport for the two years are not complete. since not II offic ers hAve given the committee th e f ull cooperation which the succes of its ork demands, but in every cas , except those of our ne e t. two chapter , there i s a comparatively complet repor t for t Ie tone year. All officers ere advised to be lenien t in the ir marki ngs, for th se first years, so future records Jllay how what seems to indicate, but really will not be a lowering of standards,. E very delegate should go very curefully over her chapter's record, if possible. with a member of this committee to exprain, details. \Vhcn ench ch a pter understands jll t where it strength and ifs weakness lie, it will be possible. with the helpful supervision now given by the fraternity, to attain {or all chapters a uniformly high stand ard of excellence.

As a whole. the reports show that II B 4> has reason to be very proud of the place which her chapter hold. Almost without exception, chap! rs stand well on their campuses. hold an important place in student activitie , and have LL splendid reputation fot democr8li:Y. high standarcl!\, nnd honor in their interfraternity and college life. Some chapters need A. k-eener realization of their obligation towards the fraternity-a. sense of obligation which would bring with it a working desire to give to n B + increased loyalty and service. The need for betfer scholarship, for the scholarship which means uniformJy good grades rather than a number of A's, many B's and C's, and some conditions and failure., has been realized by most chapters, and re ·ruts are apparent and grntifying. Internal organization presents a real problem to some chapters, espt"cially to those whose house management and supervi~ion are not up to standard and to those who have no houses and consequently have little c,ontrol over the time n.nd activities of their members. It seems not too radica.l a statement to sny th.at the biggest problem facing n }J cI» today 15 thnt oJ securing efficient cultured women for c:hapter-house chaperons. A II R 4» who i!l qualified for the exacting po~ilion of chapter-hoose chaperon and who is free to accept it could give no greater service to her fraternity. A weak point in the records of most chapters is chat they gra.duate so small a percentage of their initiates.

Records under this heading are made without giving credit for tl'3nsfers. The ideal for chapters is thnt they graduate their own initiates, sinc.e in no other way can they secure the strength of experienced upperc13sSlIle-n who know conciitions and needs. The chapters which graduated 85% or more of their initiates of the class of 1920 are Vermont B. P.{ass&chusetts 4, New York New York 4, Michigan A, \Visconsin A, Wisconsin. B. and Oklahoma B. Of the class of 192J. Maine A. New York r, Virginia A, and Indiana ~ each grjduated [00% of their initiates, but Michigan B, with a record of 85%, was the only other chapter qualHying for Class I under this heading. The grauuation records for 1921 are more encollraging than those for 1920, but, when one chnpter has not a single graduate and others have percentages fl,S low as II and 14-, there is still evident need for greater effort to secure four-year girls.

The conullittee bkes pleasure in submitting the following data: for 1~19-20, Colorado A.. Columbia A, and New York r were ranked as Class I chapters, with Pennsylvania A. and Wyoming A, missing fir. t place by narrow margina, Ilnd Ohio A, West Virginia A. Colorado B, Oklahoma B. Arkansas A. Washing~ ton R. California A, and California B all in a 2 plus class. For '920-21, Columhia A. New York r. and Virginia A rank in Class r. with Colorado A, Virginia. B. Michigan B. a:nd Kan"!ls A just over the line, and Missouri A, Minnesota A, Kansas B, \\'ashington B. Wyoming A, and Louisiana A .. high 2'S.

The ,L oan Fun.d is fast becoming understood and 1l1!>PTcci:Herl by the majority of chap"ters. Reqllests f.or information have been received from Maine to \Vyoming and girls from widely diffe-rin.g llr.eBl> have availetl themselves of this aid. Our lo:ms during the current year have numbered twel,v e and totaUed the SUDl of .$ 1,175.

Of the twelve students aided during the current ),carr, six have been seniors, one a jun'io,r and five were pursuing the wo'("k of the. set:ond year. In the majority of cases these girls. would have been obliged 10 leave coHege if they h 'a d not secured Pi Phi's aid. One senior had beep at the he~d of her family while her mother suffered a. four months' illness of. typhoid fever and there had been no free hours for ea.rning college expenses. .Another had worked in the college laborator-ies during every a,'ailable minute until a ne.r vous br'e akdown was impending unless rest from outside dgties was assured. These are only two instances ,of :many that ar,e brought to our attention.

The loans in most inslances are promptly paid. The few exceptions seem occasioned by iIiIness or other untoward circumstances.

Many Ilxpresslons of appreciation of the Loan Fund rench us. One, espe· cially. is so tine thnt every Il 4', either active OT alu.mna, should have the opportunity of heJlring it. It reads as follows: UI can't begin to teU YOI1 what this lOaD h8-S meant to me. At the time it was loaned, I was facing my senior year in college with very little to back me financially, 'It was necessary that I borrow practically an my expe,t1Ses. Of course the constant accumuhttion of interest on borrowed money onlv serves to increase the burden financial\.y !lnd mentally. Wit.h such a gener~us h~lp frotri.

II cf» I found both burdens c,olllsidembly reduced. I speak from the heart wben I say that ~ is doing a wonderful wor~k in tnus helping her o\\'n girls. ~md I Cllnllot say too much ill grntitude and praise. It is needless fo say that my hove is that I may some da}' lend itS strong a hand to some one iII need antI so help the spirit bnck of this wonderful institution, alive and throb~ing with ne.w ~ne!"gy.

E,'el'Y n eI· who has had the advantage of the Loan F'und, I !1m sure. feel's in the ~ame wny that I do in their desire to express the deep appreciation so i."mbedded in their heaTts.)} One te:ncier tribute has been paid II B cf> an.d the Loan Fund by the husband of a wearer of the anow who died before her loans were paid. He w·r ote: "h is m)' clcsire. because of 'w h:lt !hcse ToaDS meant to her, and also so that thi.s mone~' nla,y continue to aid de!'ervi,ng girls in their efforts tl') se:cure an education, to pny the notes of my Inte wife in full," These Dotes h:l\'e l)een pa;id and the

Is it no t a sati faction tha..t our fund i "rollin stock"? Al tho ugh it only sli htJy exceed $2,700, neady $3,900 has been loaned .

The granting of $250 per year for two years b y th e A ll1mnre Departmen t enabled the Loan Fund to g in :I. much ider cope. The conlributions f rom lo mn::e clubs. Co"~mlicn Da ily, Conv~n-tion Y~a,.book and from individual Pi Phi ha all enlarged tbis fi eld of e r ·c .

The ch ai rm an of tile comm itte call you r atten tion to th present financirtl condition of the Loan Fand and to the e\'cr inc rea iog demands m de upon it.

Above is hown that a b lance of only $;29.43 rem ai n to the c rcd~ t of the.

Fu -r thcrmore, we have rec eived no a ssurance that the amounts now O\'erdlie will be J1>tlid this sommer.

The present economic situo:tirm is being rellected in the gre.atly incrertsingdcm:mds upon the I..oan Fund.

We appeal to the National Alurl1n~ Dep:utnlent, fo Alumna~ Clllb~, and to individual Pi Phis.

Sbe bas the authority to call meetings of pledges for !;tudy and work. \Ve have found this n succes~ful method in dealing wilh the pledges. We have tried a system of black marks given for non-attendance of school functions and fraternity meetings of :my sort. three such marks calling for a week of supervised study

pnder an upperclassman. We hav"e also tried restrictjQD before examinations.

A silver loving cup is given to the pledge with the highest scholarship average during her fre5hman year. Supervised study for fraternity examination under an upperclassman was introduced this yeu. Great caTe and much thought has been centered upon the matter of improving oor scholarship. Study classes are formed in each subject about a month before final examinations. under the direction of an upperclassman who has successfully passed that particular work. We have found tbis a great help to the uppeJ'clnssmen as well as to the freshmen and it has been approved by the professors at the college. 10 order to eliminate the cutting o( classes, our scholarship committee, which has been most efficient, worked out a system of fines and we have found that 50 cents keeps a girl in class unless she has a legitimate excuse. For each hour flunked the girl pays to the e.ctive chapter $1.00. A lavalliere is give.n to the active girl having the highest scholastic record for the year. $1.00 for each girl was sent to the Settlement School last year. Baskets wereordcred in 1918~19. The chapter assIsted the alumnre club with a card part'y sending the pr oceeds to' the Settlement School. Each girl made one or more garments for the Needlework Guild of America. The chapter gave a generous check te the Hoover ReUef Fund. The chapter supported a French orphan until her death six months ago and since then the money has been devoted to the Chinese Relief Fund. Christmas time for ,t.wo years the chapter has dressed and given about eighteen dolls to the Ch.ristamore Settlement School. We send reprcsentatl1ve!; each week to the school to assist in the work there. Several visit the city hospital regularly fOT social !il'c tvicc work. Two very talented girls enterta:in at the Old I.adies' Homes occa.sionally. " IV. ENTERTAINMENT. [918-19: Reception foJ' the who'le college. tea for the alumna:: club.

Geneva FUild--a short musical comedy the tlleme of which was a review of Butler's victories in athletics, the most notable of which was the coming of our Coach "Pat" Page. Some of the songs have been adopted by' the students as Butler songs.

Winner of Campus Queen, first place in the celt!brity contest, 7 girls including the Goddess of the Sun in an Indian Pageant, 1 member transferred to Leland StanfordUniversity, while there wrote the junior opera, the second time in history of the university that the allthor has been a woman. The play is now being considered as a motion picture production. The author was elected to an honorary literary fraternity. Dne of our transfers to the University of California has been elected to A .E, an honontry public service fraternity.

Ill. CIIAPTEf{ WORK. Fr.eshman organization consists of a sponsor to each girl who is the freshman's adviser and confidan t. The freshmen organize and elect a president of the pledges, who is the one through whom the chapter presents matters to the pledges if the matter is Dot brought to the pledge meeting.

The president is also the spokesman for the pledges, if any questions arise.

Scholarship supervision is very strict. The scholarship chairman reports at thc first chapter meeting after delinquents are mailed. TIle chapter then discusses the reasons for each individual delinquent, and girls who receive a delinquent are restricted to onc date a week for freshmen and sophomores and two a week for juniors and seniors, so that they have more time to study and make up the work. The scholarship chairman goes to each girl's professor and talks over each individual case, ascertaining where the trouble lies, and then speaks to the girl and with the knowledge and nature of the trouble she can easily get busy to O\'crcomc the diffic ulties. If a girl has been ill or does not understand or grasp the subject, some older girl is assigned to explain and make the subject clear. but not to hdp her to the extent of her becoming dependent. One feature of chapter work this pa,;t year has been that of attempting to create n. democratic, friendly feeling between both the fraternities on the campus and especially between the fraternity women and the non-organization women on the campus.

We recognized the exceeding need for this on our campus. Between frateruity women, aside from our attempt to be always friendly and just, we have entertained at meals many members of other fraternities. When K K r had smallpox in their house, Wl! had four girls stay with us until their house was fumigated and ready for use again. We have ha.d a series of informal teas every other Friday afternoon to which the chapter invited friends who did not belong to any organization. We have also made a special effort to become acquainted and friendly with girls by visiting them in the dormitory a.nd between classes. All this we feel necessary and expedient due to a gTowing sentiment on our campos that frate~nity women are inclined to be snobbish. We entertained the Federal Bond Men who are partially disabled soldiers, suffering from tuberculosis or shellshock. who !Ire going to college while they regain their health. In order to he free from the accusation that any two men and women's fraternities have a mutllal understanding by which they run politics, etc., and to become more directly acquainted, we have had exchange dinners or open houses with all the men's organizations on the campos, both national :Inu local. 1918-19: Altruistic wurk consisted of Red Cross work, the chairman b~ing a II <1>. One Arizona A went to the Debarkation Hospital at Ellis Islalld where she was engaged in nursing. 1919-20: Adopted a French orphan, contributed to all charity funds. gave ll. Christmas tree and party to a local orphanage. 1920-21: Had entertainments for the men at the Federal Hospital for disabled soldiers and at St. Luke's, the local tuberculosis hospital. 'Ve contributed to all charities and to the ~nd8m Cerie Radinm Fund. Donated four Christmas trees to the local hospital and to the Arizona Orphanage. Ga\'e a large Kermis or Mexican Fete for the benefit of the Settlement School and Scholarship Fund. raising $150 for the Settlement School and $40 for the Scholarship Fund. This Fete also helped to in form the college aod commonity of the worthy work maintained by II n <1>. Two girls ba.ve been leaders in the Y. W. Girls' Reserve Corps for grade school girls.

EDIT'O RIALS '"l'O SARAH ' F MRROY R UGG, the r etiring editor of THE! IT B <'b is deeply indeb ted and t akes this opportuni,t y t u express its a'ppreciation of h er faithful services. ~ or ten years Mrs. R ugg has labored; to bring the magazine to its present high standard and has ever endeavored to keep before the f ra ternity world a broad vision of the purposes and ideals of Greekletter organizations.

As an edi(or she has been particutarly assiduous in defending fraternities and ill refutin g anti-fraternity arguments not only in the e -litorial columns of TH..E A RROW but a.lso in other publica tio ns including The Century and The Independent.

As business manager of THE ARROW, :Mrs. Rugg made a thorough study of the work from [he publishers' standpoint, consulte '\ v arious fraternity mag~zinc editors" adverti sing experts and persons exper~enced in every phase of the business, thus enabling her wi th the cooperation of the Gr.and Treasurer, to p la"c e our official organ on an exec 1I en tfinancial basis.

In ,the per.f.onnnnc:e of Grand Council duties additional to THE ARROW work, l\ifrs, Rugg has given much time and enerp'Y to, the inspection of chapters, tQ the attendaL1ce of national conferenr. e ~ and to the consideration of innumerable other fratern.ity responsibilities.

No higher trihute cOUild he paid to IVlrs. Rugg than that ~ho\'\']l by the confidence and love expressed for her by the Fuunders who attended ,the last convention, and who, griev'c d at her announcement of retirement, were relieyed and delighted to know that r;hc would continue to keep in touch \\'ith TH E ARROW by editing the News from 1 ittlLe Pigeon in addh ion to as isting at times \\"ith other departments.

She mentioned the fact that many of the oldest awl largest ,vomen's fraternities have prune(l out their we:1kcr chapters. hut IT R <I> ha.s so loved and cherished each chapter. that she has continued to keep them on her chapter roll instead of pruning away those branches which'might now fail to reach the requirements made of our petitioning groups. Hence, the IT 4> tree carrying some almost dead wood needs the ncw, green, shoots which i>ring new life and strength, Three new chapters \vill be added to our roll this fall: one at the )'lontana State College, Bozeman, ).lont.; one at the rniversity of North Dakota, Grand Forks, N.

REPORT OF SCHOL ARSfIIP COMl'vlITTEE

l Si

REPORT OF THE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE Calendar year I920 U B cI> closed the calendar year 1920 with an exceptionally fine record in scholarship.

Tbe outstanding feature na been tbe splendjd cooperation which the standing committee ha received from the chapter committees. Ohio B with Alice Brook, chairman, had a remarkable r cord for promptness and accuracy in handling the work of this committee. Almost without eJception, correspondence was answer d the day it was r eceived or ve ry oon thereafter. We urge that futur chapter scholarship committees continue to work f(lr a closer and strong r organization, for there is a di rect relation between the realization of good cholar hip and tbe quality of coope ration which the chapter scholarship committee g ive .

T he fraternity average w as 1.96. I n 19 19 it was 1.9 1 and the year p receding it was 1.88. Th re has been a. very grati fying increase in the nu mber of chapter having excellent schola rship. In 19 18, 24.56% of ou r chapte r s were excellen t.

In 1920, 43,33% were excellent. The number of chapter s not reporting grades has decreased to an irredu ible min imu.m . WhHe in 1918, 2 1 % of our chapters were delinqllent i n rep orting, last y ear only 4.7% were so classed and in each f those cases the un iversity rather than the fraternity was reo pan sible.

G 3mma Province aga in I ads. ationall y, our cbolastic strength lies in the xtreme eas t nnd west, and o ur weakness, in the middle west, e p dally the sou th middle west.

Arizona.A showed th grea tes t gai n an d I nd i a~ a r the grea test loss . Florida A ranked fir st, c han gin g places w i th Pennsylvania B who dropped to third position which w as held by F lori d a. the year before. T exas B has the lowest a "t:ra(;"e, 1.362.

The ch ai rman wa especially p leased at the spirit dis played by some of th delegates to convention, who soug ht an opportunity to expl aj n to her some o f thei r chapter p r oblems. The sta ndi ng commi ttee will p r ofit greatly by the mu.tual understandin g afforded t ~rough pe r Dal contact .

Each year since scholarship ta t i stics o f n B 4> h a.ve been kept, the f ra terni ty average has improved. This year we must defend our past records and e tablish new ones. T o that end let com m i ttee develop st r ong and interc -ting cooperation and let each member strive for the goal : " N o failure and n o con d itions.H Tbe committee regrEts th at it was unable to perfect its ne\ p lan for rank ing chapters. in time t() IISC j't in this report.
