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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 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:

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 the conservatism of Pi Beta Phi's extension policy win be apparent. .
One of the greatest difficulties met by the Gr.md 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 officer s 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 give able service to the national organization. Almost w 1th()ut vacancies in nAtion 'a! offices and on standing committees have been filled by persons thus I'ecommencled for national service.

Then it was th.1t the nominal ta8 of fifty cents per member was decided ur on and at Inst we couId pay the salaries and ofliee expenses of our alumna! 0fficcrs. However, we arc not yet independent. That we might 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 s es have a.lways beell borne by the adive Grand Treasury.

Until this system t} f 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! alumna- 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 depar t ment have their files in suc.;h shape at 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 ,case two years e111psrng before d ozens (If fr m every q;nar ter and then telegll'ams sG:nt collect sucteedt:d in moving the fites.

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 th e s am e lime 450 bid!;.

REPORT OF THJi: CATALOGUER
July 19I8·Ju/y Tf)2I
The s ubmi'ts th e followi n g- report :
During the past three years the of f he' Cataloguer has b een ,augmented 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 fo r the fraternity. The work on the mailing list 1HIS proved to be so heavy that the original work of catafoguer has, of nece s sity, been consider ably neglected. The mailing list grows with -each year's llew initiates to an e:dent thOat 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 fo ld. First, there is the recei\<ing of renewals o f annual sub scriptions. arid an occasion a l life snbscription , and the sending of moneys so received to the fraternity treasu r er, and the ch ecking o·f card and record ·on 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 e a ch 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,
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 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 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 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 to 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 .ernity 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 ty." An interesting inddent was recently reported of a II a life subscriber, whose lHlme had been takp.n from the mailing list, as her '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 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 ways, bllt bas lacked time to carry out her plans. If there were lime to. keep the geographical lists in shape, it would be 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,nt clubs mean to our fraternity, in inlelic_. t for the Settlement School. and of the unlimited p(1ssibilities still ahead of us in this 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 .in summer camp work with girls, as counselors. etc., etc.

It affords me genuine pleasure to m:ltc hC'lrc a few facts wbjcb should impress upon us the far-reaching influence of II B -1> in the world today. Our rtiember· ship was increased by 674 .in 1918-19. 838 in 19H)-20, and 8003 in H)20-21" or 2,315 members since the last conventi("fl. Duting th" J){li\t few years society has gone through a marvelous chOI!Ig-e, and edoca.ted and thinking women have acquired ,a new serioumess and an eager desire to enter wider fields of usefulness in tneil" relation to world problems and life. It is not surprising. therefore. to find II 4> representati-"'es doing act1.\!c work uf various kinds in every state in the Union, in Alaska, Cuba , POl"to Rico, South America, P,hilippines, Siberia. ]apa.n, China. India, Turkey, Arfnenia. Hungary, Switzerland and other European, countries. \Ve have been in communication with members who have been instrumental in carrying IT 4> idenls and training info active work in foreign missions. educa tiQn home a nd abroad. the practice of medicine, commerce, nursing:. we1fa,re work, literaturG. horticulture. domestic science, architecture, mining, politics, law, art, reconstruction, recreation, and business at home and abroad; and with those who are teaching in foreign institutions in n foreign tongue. There are Pi Phis who h(1ve ::atrried messages around the world; who have stirred gn!at com'entions, led in National reforms, entered politics and itdluenced the destinies of Ihe Nation. The wHe of the Vice-pl'csi«;lent of the United Siaies has been :In active officerr and has sut with us in convention aDd the wife of the Sc(;retuy o.{ Agricuhure has worn her arro\\' for trurty·five yeaTS wilh i'ncreas,rng love and steadfast loyalty to hcr fraternity.

These art' !Oome of the known places where OUT memhers hnve rendered noteworthy service.
At ng time during my more fh:lD twen ,ty-five yearrs membership h3!< ou 'r ol'gnnization been more e:uefully :lnd watched" and our' officers been ke.ener and more genuinely erUhulliastic in the performance of their duties. I believe, however, that tnc limit of human strength has been re'lcbed by those be3Fing the hcn:viest responsibiWies, and th:lt today we have grown into such a organil:rltion, with such weighty problems, that we should not place more care upon the ,,·Wing s.houlc\ers of our loy:.1 Grand Council and officers who have already given mQre of their sirellgth thnn they should. This conve-ntion should lock sc: riousJy upon the fact thnt U B oJ» 113:5 grown info a bi.g, far'J'eBching, j,mportant. and complicated enterpr ,ise that Il,ust be guided by closer and greater business metho(\s and money outlay than before.
As we have \\'00 ef]ual suffrage wifh our and have entered many of their fields of activit'ies. so must we in our world, look to wayg and means to slren ,gthen our bllginess and organization Ihat we may feel that our fraternity c:lHies with it the power and comrs,de!'-nip nnd helpfulness enjoyed by our brother Greeks.

being is a h i gh school fraternity not a fraternity?" 00 the whole the enapters have upheld th e rule, and 'lost a few good girls through a high standard of honQr. The great difficulty eocoonter.ed has resulted from the h i gh school fraternities dmpping the Greek-letter names and changing their names to c1ub$ without affecting any radi.cal chAnge in their Ofg2.nization. Unfortun a tely tne N. P C. ruling does not directly apply to tbese c ases, and is capable of a. liberal interpretation. All cha.pters report tha.t they ar e 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 'ew 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 ,complicate 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 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,emselves 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.
per cent of the large number of students at Toronto are women, of an unusually splendid type. In my estimation, the girls 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 Wstrar, 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 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, .they 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 usage.

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.ry. 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 conesponding secretary, has since wyitten for and obtaified the missing articles.
Tbe act i ve chapter entertained many of their alurnnre at their initiation banquet. L

vI 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 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 ,chapters 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 The girls are reserved, almost 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 club ,in 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,ters. This university ha.s splendid plans for the (utUl'C, an.d no doubt the improved coHege conditiolls wiB help tow3'rd the growth of it!'; various cha.pters.

REPORT OF BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
Beta Province President submits the following report:
Since the appointment of the present incumbent of tbis office in January, 1920, every chapter j,n the p r ovince has been visited twice with the gratifying results of nn intimate kno,wledge of the personnel of the respective groups, the college environment and conditions peculiar to each, the various local problems and, with, the certainty oJ a responsive eagerness and enthm;iasm on the part of the active members in the province, a host of ideals and ambitions for the tulare.
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.
As to campus activities and college honors II n 4» isunQsually wen represented furnIshing who are filling with distinction such ol:lices as student government association presidents, Y. W. C. A. presidents, editors of college newspapers. business manage rs of college annuals, etc. I have also been glad to note a decline in the malicious practice of organized electioneering for o.llices on the part of fraternity women in most of the col1eges visited but. on

Three chapters in the Province have worked with their advisory committees on 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 of the chapters show tbat they are interpreting Topic I of tbe Manual in a 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 college s , yet the fOllr who have been interviewed report the attitude of the n B <I> chapfer Inerubers as average or below average. This training in courtesy might belong to the work of the advisory committee.

Panhellenic relations 9t In d iana A and Indi;mrL r :He much improved O\' CT those given in ,Miss Demi,ng's reports of 1919 and 1920.

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 de 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 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 a.way our very right for existence. There could be no 'weaker link in our chain thnn a chaptc'r. which. as a group ,is discourteous to girls {rom the other chapters. I feel very sirongl'y on 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 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 'ROVINCE PRESIDENT
Epsilon Province President submits the follow ,ing 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-ited by Mrs. Tannabill and Wisconsin ,n ch.3pter to a reception at Mrs. Tannahill's home in honor of Mts. Rugg who 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'haptcr and had a. conference with [he Dean of \Vornen as 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 ,their house fund. - The raising of $40,000 for a: chapter-house has proved a uniting bond in many ways. -
My kno,wledge 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 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.

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-irstel'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 nevertheless when 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 ucall," or in any way elllphasizing fhe "Arrow." However, in spite of the fact ,that tlleir furniture is housed in different homes, and their treasures slor ed 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 .not surprising' then that their natiOJilalisfil is poor. But they are earnestly working to better 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 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 taking in it!'> pledges. Espedally are they trying to eliminate the one girl. It is shameful that this 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 ,that 11 til is very active; in an college a.cti,·ities and weIll rep.eNot 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"r5 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 ,the chapters in Theta Province for their earnest c09peration and many kjndnesses to me.

THE ARROHI OF PI BETA PHI
bas dr:lpJ.led sc\r,ernl 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 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 c hapter.

Many bonors have been con (erreff, upon members o 'l the chapter t'his year.

Oregon D has hf:llt a very e,oDgenial group' thill, yetlr. Leadership has improv ed 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 'ls. Financial statu!'l is satisf:lctory. The chapter bas, plans to build a ncw home as soon as it is ad\"isable from a 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 later intcl'ceded for the chapter with the that the penalty was ti fled in the spring term. Some of the higiwst honors on the campus have been WOIl.

wnich came in after April 30. This, added to national dues a,nd gifts, to other funds, makes a ,tolal of over $J"ooo (or t.he year, or over $8 per club member.
A new feature of our work this 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 But while letters are good, personalt visits are better. li feel that a definite plan should be wotked out 'whereby who are, inspecting chapters should also visit dubs whicll 'can be easily reached. Clubs do not need !he same kind oJ supervision that ehfipters hl\ve, but they do need ,the inspiration ,of 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 reiPort nftcrw:lJ'ds. I have' tried for three years to secure some such cooperation but without result. I feel tl13t this com'cn t ion should adopt plan for direct supervision gf ou.r morel than eighty clubs.

During the last year Carlisle has disbanded due to smaU numbers and other activities, so the club roll now is twelve. 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 ,te 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 ,to 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,vention 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 'gly 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,lement 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.ve been rummage sales, sale of Christmas c.ards, and card parties. 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 clubs h a ve responded ell to other f raternit y f unds and loc al need _ The P hiladelphia Club has been keeping two French orphans fo r three years and enjoy he r ing fr om them
The twelve club ha e been trongly urged to be repre ented at convention by a delegate and it is very gratifying to know that all but tw o will probably h a e om eone who can bring back t he news·of convention

The l :tS t two years ha,\<e been very successful and now Theta Province has nine flourishing clubs. 'There are two in l'e x3.s, fou l' in Oklahoma, two in Arkansas and one in Lou i siana.

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, compo s ed larg'ely 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'ort 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 ,thcrn California easily leach; the province this yen both in active memberli and in contributions to the Set tlement 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 Tucson failed to report the amount of dues but sent $50 direct to the treasurer for the School.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
The Extension Committee wishes to ncknowledge wi,th grat itude the CouFtesy and promptness wit h which inquiries to chapters and alumna: have been in· variably 8D!1weFed. 'The Commitl,ec is the int erpreter of the will of the fraternity to all petitioning groups, and welcomes any informal'foD and uid which any member of U B ·cIt can give.
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 of its work delayed ln 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 i n 1919. a handbook of U B cit. It is the i r 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 ,the 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 'onor 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.
Study and E:um;nal;o". In order to insore a sa ,tisfactory 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 on l y 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 alamna has been in close touch the supervisor and chapter snd where the conesponding secretary or member speciaJlly assigned has handled corre!;pondence promptly, few or no, difficulties have ar,isen. Unfortunately, in some cases, not ,iee! 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 n womanhood may be erected tber,ean. 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 \ F I ;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 of chapter scholarship committee ciullcs which outline!i in detail the composition and mode of operating of ch3pter Tbe list of duties was designed to develop p ,romptness :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,ints w'ith tbeold N. P. C. blanks, 'So there 3I'e 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 problems is enlarging rapidly. Chapter cooperation is marked by grenter care and promptness, with e'3ch succeed ing year.
Respectfully submilted, - FLORA HULL MITCHEl.l.,
REPORT OF TIlE COMMITTEE ON EFFICIENCY AND STANDA R OIZA TI 0 N
The Committee on Efficiency and Standardization 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 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 obtained. The committee believes in lhe object which led to its org-nuizalioll-not the ranking o( but the gi\dng totbem of a tangible expression of the idealls towards which they must it feels confident that' its 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 by Grand Councit members, province presidents, and Dational' officers and committee members, whose work t" prim;ui,ly with aclh'e chapfers.

E ve ry 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 understand s 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 stan d a rd 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 an 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 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 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 r. 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 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. 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 Chairman o( the Committee on the Unde r g r aduat e Loan F 'und s ohll.litJ; the. f ollowing r e port:
The follow:i.ng tables will show to what extent the Loan Fund has grown 5incc its permanent e st a blishment in 1912, the loans granted, amounts .repaid, etc.
The ,Loan 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,ve 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 'ad not secured Pi Phi's aid. One senior had beep at the 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 rvous br'eakdown 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 frotri II cf» I found both burdens c,olllsidembly reduced. I speak from the heart wben I say that n is doing a wonderful in tnus helping her o\\'n girls. 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 with ne w E,'el'Y n eI· who has had the advantage of the Loan F'und, I !1m sure. feel's in the 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 rote: "h is m)' clcsire. because of 'wh:lt !hcse ToaDS meant to her, and also so that thi.s 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 f action tha..t our fund i "rollin stock"? Al tho ugh it only sli htJy exceed $2 ,700, neady $ 3,900 has been loaned . Th e granting o f $250 per y ear for two years b y t h e A ll1mnre D epartmen t enabled th e Loan Fund t o g in :I. much ider c ope. The conlributi o n s f rom l o mn::e clu bs. Da ily, and from individual Pi Phi ha all enl arged tb is fi el d of e r ·c
The ch a i rm an of tile comm itte call you r atten tio n to th prese nt financirtl c on dit i o n of th e Loan F and and to the e\' cr inc rea iog demands m de upon it.
Ab o v e is hown tha t a b l ance of only $;2 9.43 rem a i n to the of th e. L o n Fund in th G ra n d T reasu r}·. One l o an of $100 h s be en pracficall}' gran t for ne , t y ar W hav e OlJtstlnd'ing l oans as f oil ws:

500 is due J uly 19:h
900 i ciue July I, Iq23
i5 i · due July I, Ig24
400 i" Clnc July I, 1925
By these two statements it is shown that from sour ces tbe large t sum we can hope fo r i $429043 plus $330.00 or $759.43. Fu -rthcrmore, we have rec e ived no a ssuran ce 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. From tbe abo"e data you \\'iI11 note th:l! dU 'ring 1918- 1<) the numbcrc:dthtee; durin g six .. d uring tb e year j u!'.t dosing, twelve, the amount loaned in 1920-ZJ totaUing ne:lr:ly four ,times us much ;15 that of t TO years before.
The chairman does not ish to r eiterate nJl the o,rgmnents given in t.he past for Pi Jiida I)hi's Loan Fund. yet it is evid'imt that more fund ar e needed (0 inc.rease the !lnnual from tbe Gra.ndl Treasury.
We appeal to th e National Dep:utnlent, fo and to individual Pi Phis.
'Ne take thjs opportunity a l so to urge those now benefittin g {rom the Loan Fund to pay their loam; promptly, and not retard other from recch'rog the same assistance thnl ruded the.m in obt3ining a collegl! education.

A special effort was made to interest the acth'c girls in the Fdluw5hi]1-:md from the splendid responses we had from mo£;t of the adive ch.apters, I feel our efforts were not in vnin. As yet lhe committee has not been able to reach the scattered alumn:c. \¥c hope that aM alumna! at convention, who ar c not identified witb auy club, will feel it their ciuty to make a contribution :It thi time" Alice Peddycord has .iust had postal cards printed wflich she plans 10 send Ifj the scattered alumnre in h er province asking for their support. \Vc hope Ihis will be a success and that the illcoming cornmittee win find it a idea In work out next year.

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 The chapter assIsted the alumnre club with a card part'y sending the p r 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.

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 all 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 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 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.

'Ve contributed to all charities and to the 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.

As business manager of THE ARROW, :Mrs. Rugg made a thorough study of the work from [he pu b lishers' standpoint, consulte '\ v a rious fraternity editors" adv erti sing experts and persons exin every phase of the busin ess, thus enabling her wi th the cooperation of the Gr.and Treas u rer, to p la"ce 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 and to the consideration of innumerable other fratern.ity responsibilities.
No higher trihute cOUild he paid to IVlrs. Rugg than that by the confidence and love expressed for her by the Fuunders who attended ,the last convention, and who, griev'cd at her announcement of retirement, were relieyed and delighted to know that r;hc w ould continue to keep in touch \\' ith TH E ARROW by editing the News from 1 ittlLe Pigeon i n addh ion to as isting at times \\"ith other departments.

IT IS NOT THE I\fTENTION of the Editor to make changes in T JI E ARRO\V unless the necessity hut sug-gestions wi 11 f)e received gladly and will be considered most carefully.

EXTENSION was of course onc of the important points of disc.ussion at convcntion. i\hs. Rugg gave a very excellent metaphoric exp.lanation of the II n tl> tree. 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.

Very interesting statistics T/¢lntive to the number of charters recently granted by the largfst women's fraternities and also relative to the organizations which have knocked at the doors of n B within the past three years will he found in this issue of TH E ARROW in the reports of the Grand President and of the Committee on Extension.
