ANNUAL MESSAGE AND REPORT OF THE GRAND PRES'lDENT
To th. Pi Bda Pili Fraternity:
Too much cannot be said in app r eciation of the loyal coOpe rati on and the effectual w ork of the officers and committee members who have made it possible for th e Grand Council to co me to the end of the year w ith a clear conception o f the internal condition of the fraternity and with a great pride in what that insight reveals . At least a beginning has been made toward the h oped-fo r closer relati onship between the w orkin g f orces o f n B 4l , and it is expected that during th e c oming year th e scope of this special effort will be considerably enlarged. The Grand Presid en t has been greatly helped not only by full repo rts of work do ne but by cons tru c tive suggestions fo r and c ri ticisms of general fraternity policies .
For the first time in many years, it has been necessary to effect a ch ange in the personnel of the Grand Council during the int erim of convention s . B eca use of her approaching marriage, Lulu H. Clark , whose marked ability as a national officer has made her year's service as Grand Secretary one of inestimable value to IT R 4>, submitted her resignation, effective July I, and it w," relu c tantly a ccep ted by the Council. The beaut iful Farewell t o Seniors ce rem ony, suggested and written by M iss Clark, will remain a lasting symbol of her great love for and serv ice to her fraternity. Francese Evans, Louisiana A , who will be most pleasantly remembered by all who attended the 1921 convention, has accepted appointment as Grand Secretary an d. will, the Council feels sure, prove a worthy successor to Miss Cl ark . At its annual meetin g, the Grand Council accepted with great regret the resignations of Pauline Turnbull, Gamma Province Presid ent, Nina H. Allen, Alumn", Edito r , Flora H. Mit chell , chairman of the Committee on Scholarship , and Marjorie C. Bradford, Ruth M. McIntyre, Ethel Curryer, Gertrude Blazer, -and Mary R. Riggins, committee members The fraternity mourns the loss of three of it> most faithful and loyal members-Raine Adamson Small (Mrs . W F.), Illinois B, who served the fraternity as its first Grand President and ably ca rried on the work for five years, also being elected
Grand Historian; Jennie Allyn , Massa chusetts A, for many years Alph. Province Vice-president, and Mary Gordon Holway, California B, the convention initiate of 1915 and a most valued member of the Committee on Scholarship.
During the past year, the fraternity has held to an extension policy which was calculated to encourage the continued application of desirable groups while advising th em that there was litt le prohabilit)' that any charters would be gran ted before the next convention. A similar poUey will be in force during the coming year. With the authorization of a practically four to one vote of chapters and officers, as noted ill the report of the Grand Secretary, it is possible that an exception may be made in the case of applying groups at the Vniversity of Chattanooga and the University of North Caro lina. The Grand Counci l has gone on record as being unfavorable to extension in colleges where a chapter would be made lip largely of commuting members . Because members of the fraternity have been embarra$Sed frequently by campus assumption that visits to applying groups, made purely upon personal invitation, had official significance, the Grand Council has authorized the insertion of the follownig clause in the list of instructions to applying groups: lilt shall be considered unethical on the part of applying groups to atta ch or to seem to attach official significance to the unauthorized visits of members of the fraternity." Twenty-seven applying groups have been in communication ",ith n B <I> during the past year. Upon the r ecommendation of conventio n, the Grand Secretary made a survey of all active chapters in reference to their eligibility for charters und er the present requirements for petitioning groups. The information res ulting from this survey will be pla ce d before the chapters and it should be conclusive proof of the soundness of the fraternity's present extension policy and of the assured strength of any successful petitioning group . Because the fraternity examination has seemed to place too great a bqrden upon chapters and upon committee members, an entirely new system will be in effect for this current year and will, if it proves sa.tisfactory, be permanently adopted. The Grand Council believes that the object of frat ernity examination is to give to members an inclusive, usable knowledge of the fraternity's history, government, personnel, and policies, and it hopes that the new system of examination, which will require accurate knowledge covering ten carefully selected questions submitted for study previous to the date of examination , will do away with the "cramming" of a mixed multitude of quickly forgotten statistics , will create a real interest in fraternity facts, and will result in the development of ,an increasingly well infonned fraternity membership.

chapters, this coming year, the tangible, workable plan successfully developed by the fraternities at the University of Missouri who are so fortunate as to work under the direct supervision of Dr. Matzke. The plans of the Committee on Survey and Standardization for the further development of that important phase of fraternity work promise much for the internal strengthening of II B
Upon the resignation of Miss Langmaid, early in the fraternity year, Mrs. Rugg, at the insistence of the Grand Council and at great personal sacrifice, acce pted the temporary chainnanship of the Committee on Settlement School, and under her chaitmanship the school has had a year of unprecedented development, as the annual report will show. The joint session of the Grand Council and the Settle· ment School Committee was mutually helpful, and as a result of this getting-together where it was possible to acqui re first-hand information as to conditions and needs , the future of the Settlement School, Pi Beta Phi's greatest altruisic work, has been placed upon a firm foundation. Miss Kate Miller has accepted the chairma nship of the Settlement School Committee and, with the exception of Mrs. Dowell who has resigned to accept a place on the school staff, the personnel of the committee remains as it was during last year.
The reports of the Grand Treasurer and of the Treasurer of the Settlement School show that the finan cial conditi on of the fraternity is gratifyingly sound. At the close of the college year, nineteen 11 B chapters owned their own homes and these houses had an approximate valuation of $360 ,000.
The installation of the three groups chartered by co nvention occu rred early in October. Montana A, and North Dakota A were installed by the Grand President, assisted in each case by the Provin ce President, and Florida B was installed by the Grand Secretary. With the exception of Maryland At Columbia A, Pennsylvania A, and Ohio A and B, all chapters have been visited by their respective province presidents j the three new chapters have received the required visits, within six months after their installation, by representatives of the Grand President-Mrs. Spring visiting Mon tana A, Mrs. Tannahill, North Dakota A, and Mrs . Blair, Fl or ida B ; and the f ollowing chapters have had official visits from members of the Grand CouncilOntario A, Vermont A and B, Massachusetts A, New York A, r r and A, Pennsylvanja A, B, r, Ohio A, Michigan R, Indiana Texas A and B, Arkansas A, Missouri r, No rth Dakota A, Montana A, and Florida B.

:Beginning with the current college year, the observance of a few uniform house rules wilJ be obligatory upon all II B 4> chapte r houses. These very liberal rules, whi ch appear in the minutes of Grand Council meeting, are intended to supplement existing rules, are designed to meet needs which have been sensed by visiting Grand Council members, and embody rules already most successfully en· for ced in many of our chapter houses . t The Council helieves that th e requiring of monthly reports on chapter house financ e, these reports to be made upon official blanks and submitted to the chapter, to the finance member of the Advisory Committee, and to the Province President, will prove of inestimable value in developing that sense of business responsibility without which no chapter ca n be truly strong. II B 4> is greatly indebted to Mrs. Una B. Herri ck, nean of Women at Mohtana State College, for her gracious pennission to use as a model for the fraternity's monthly financial re port blank, the blank originated by her for the use of the organizations on .her own ca mpus. In order that the visits of officers may prove of the greatest possible value to chap ters , the Grand Council has prepared comprehensive lists of instruction both for officers and for chapters . (See minutes of Grand Council Meeting .) Altho ugh it is scarcely possible, under the fraternity's present system of close supervision, that an officer should find in a chapter no single member who had been active during a similar visit, the President remembers vividly her own active chapter experiences when such a thing was true and when a list of suggestions would h3.ve been very welcome indeed, and believes that even today it will prov e helpful both to officers and to chapters .
Word has come to the Grand Council o f a so·called "Inte rfraternity" similar to 8 N E and claiming to be a "sister" to that discredited and unwholesome organization. II B <I> is unalterably opposed to any organization whose ideals are as contrary to those of Reacl P.,. 38-0rder 1iI.,azio. Subocriptiona Tbrou,b Our A,enc:y
any true fraternity and whose very existence is as detrimental to the fraternity system as are those of 8 N E or of any "sister interfraternity," and any member of n B who allows herself to be in any way affiliated with such a discreditable organization will seriously jeopardize her right to membership in IT B 4>.
Particular attention is called to the new ruling prohibiting freshman Hrough probation," For a number of years n B «z. has been absolutely opposed to mock initiations, as has been generally understood, but this new ruling is made necessary because of the tendency on the part of some chapters to enforce a freshman probation which has degenerated into a practice altogether like hazing and the old mock initiation alld altogether foreign to everything rightly pertaining to a college fraternity. The fraternity has nothing but approval for any custom which trains its fre shmen rightly, which develops their originality, cleverness, and poise, which is good fun for everybody including the freshmen (and not, as one girl said in attempting to justify a most unworthy fonn of probation, Hjust a little fun at tJu expNtu of the freshmen"), and which prepares a pledge for the highest type of fraternity membership , hut it must repeat its extreme disapproval of anything which makes its pledges consp ic uous in public, which takes their time and st r ength needed for college and fraternity work, which makes them ill at ease, self-co nscious, and unhappy, and which can but lower their ideal of IT Jl 4>. Violations of this ruling will be followed by th e usual penalties
Several instances have ·come to the attention of the Crand Council of undergraduates who for financial or other reasons have desired to become inactive in their chapters. The Council wishes to emphasize the facts that the Constitution makes no provision for inac tivity on the part of an undergraduate in attendance at the college where she has been initiated, and that any such member failing to be active in her chapter forfeits her right to membership in the fraternity.
The question as to the time and place for the next convention is still undecided.. The great expense attached to the last two conventions has been such a heavy drain upon the Conventio n Fund that a convention at the end of the regular biennial interim will be impossible without a heavy special assessment upon each active member. A vote on the question of postponement will be called for early in the college year. The Council favors Estes Park as the place for conventi on and the Convention Guide, Leona Accola Fitzell, Co lorado A, and her committee assure us of a highly successful and enj oyable conven ti on. The Grand Council asks the serious thought of the fraternity upon matters to be presented to the coming convention and will apprec iate suggestions for constructive discussion and legislation. The wh ole subject of probation and dismissal must he carefully gone over and if possible new regulations whiCh will Read Pace 38--0rder Macuine Subscriptions Throuch Our Actncy

more fully meet the fraternity's need must be evolved . The Council will recommend, also, that in the names of the governing council and its members the word "National" be substituted for HGrand."
The attention of all members is called to the fa c t that personal possession of the private publications of the fraternity is entirely contingent upon their proper safeguarding and that the fraternity has the power immediately to recall, without financial recompense, all such publications whose privacy is not assured.
With this issue of THE ARROW... the Volunteer Service Card will become a regular feature of the fraternity magazine. The Grand Council urges that every n B who has the time and the ability for national work of any kind fill out and send to the Grand President her service card. Please note especially the call for chaperones I The need for members of the fraternity who are qualified to act as chaperones for our houses is exceptionally great, as is the service such members give to their fraternity.
A most regrettable tendency to relate unfavorable rumors, often the merest gossip and without foundation in fact , about chapters or mdividual fraternity members, makes it nec essary to remind every II B 4> of her pledge of fraternity privacy and of all that loyalty to that pledge implies. Definite information covering any known acts or facts to the discredit of n B tP should be given at once to the fraternity officer best qualified to meet the situation, but even facts, when they are to the discredit of a fraternity member, should not be generally discussed-even by Pi Plus.
The Grand President presents to you again the ideal of close cooperation in every phase of fraternity development, and asks for herself a contin uation of the loyal, heartening support without which it would have been impossible to carryon the work of the past year.
Respectfully submitted, AMY BURNHAM ONKEN, Grand President.
ANNUAL MESSAGE AND REPORT OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE, 1922
The routine work of this office: filing, issuing of supplies, general correspondence with Grand Council, Province Vice-presidents, clubs, etc., etc., has been carried on as systematically and promptly as possiDle and will not be dwelt upon at length in this rep o rt as detailed information concerning it has been given in the three previous reports.

REPORT OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT 17
Several phases of the work go on from year to year without much change, but new ideas are constantly being put to the test to increase the strength and scope of the A1umn", Department. One of these met with marked success this year in various sections fran coast to coast: that of baving Founders' Day Celebrations in II centers where there were no alumnre clubs . Several of these were managed very efficiently by some of the Province Vice-presidents and will, no doubt, become permanent institutions, and there is no telling how -4'ar reaching may be the r esults.
The influence of convention has been especially evident in the number of new clubs formed and in the amount of enthusiasm and support for the Settlement School.
Nine new clubs were chartered this year, the largest nwnbeT, so far, for any single year. They are : Stillwater, Okla.; Houston, Texas, (rechartered); Atlanta, Ga ; Boulder, Colo.; Sheridan, Wyo.; Waterloo, Iowa; Morgantown, W. Va.; Milwaukee, Wis ; Wichita, Kan. Several more charters are pending, awaiting the last necessary steps and before 1923 the clubs will number 100. Groups are active in many places and need just one or two morc Pi Phis to make a nationally chartered club possible . If you are not near enough to any club listed in the ARROW directory to be a member of it, ask the Mailing Clerk, Mrs. C. E. Temple, 1023 Woods Ave., Lancaster, Pa., if sufficient Pi Phis live in your vicinity to form a club. She will be glad to help you and the Grand Vice· president will furnish you with the necessary data and in cooperation with your Provi n ce Vice-president wi ll help you on your way
Do you realize that the sum total raised for the Settlement School by the clubs this last year was $15,000! I I This shows wonderful team work not only locally but nationally, and it shows a healthy rivalry also. When Cleveland set the high wate r mark at $ 1,800 l ast year, many clubs we r e determined to strive for the same goal t his year. Two attained it; Cleveland, again, and New Yo r k Ci t y, and others followed with amazing amounts, such as Philadelphia $1,100, Washington, D. C., $ 1,000, etc., etc., a very tangible evidence of the many, many persistent workers with unflagging interest and unwavering enthusiasm. The report of the Settlement School Com· mittee in this issue and the publicity work during the coming year will keep you infonned of its past achievements and future plans and will make ' vou r ealize, as did the Grand Council on its visit to the Settlement School, what a wonderful work n 410 is doing there and how much this needs our continued interest.
On the way home from the Grand Counci l meeting at the Sett l emen t Schoo l , the Grand Vice· president visited clubs and chapte r s along the way and t r ied t o g ive them t he latest natio n al n ne w s.

REPORT OF THE MEETING OF GRAND COUNCIL
Th e an nual meeting of the Grand Co un ci l was h eld at th e Settle· ment School, May 6-14 , 1922.
Preceding the regu la r Council mee ting a j oi nt sess ion of the members of the Grand Council with the members o f the Settlement Schoo l Committee was held for t he dis cussion o f problems and th e enactment of certain policies in conn ec ti on with the important work of that committee .
·As a result of th is joint meeting the foll o wing measures were adopted: The Se ttlem ent Sc ho ol Co mmittee was empowered-
1. To organize a Juni or High School, if practi<;,able, with a cou rse l eading to graduation and ce rtifi cate .
2. To erect an ind u strial hi gh sc h oo l b uildin g t o be r eady for occ upan cy at the opening of the schoo l year 1923 , if possible.
3. To install a mo vi ng pi c ture equipment in the auditorium of our n ew building and to stress the need for this feature in the appeal for funds.
4. To elect the staff of the school.
5. To add to the schoo l curricul um a co ur se in agriculture in accordance with the provisions o f the Smith-Hughes Act.
6. To coOperate to the extent of fifty dollars a month for five months, with the County Superintendent in engaging a supervisor of rural schools for the sohool year 1922-1923 in District No. 11. This supervisor must meet the state reqUirements, shall be acceptable to the Head Resident , and shall make her headquarters in our community.
7. To establish scholarships, the number and amount to be determined at its annual meeting.
8. To install at the earliest possible date, a water system according to recommendations and specifications made by the state rural eng ineer .
9. To erect a fireproof vault for the housing of general fraternity and Settlement School archives at a place on the school property to be detennined l ater, the expense of this undertaking to be borne hy the fraternity and school treasuries in such proportion as shall be deemed best.
10. To engage a landscape architect, if possible one connected with the University of Tennessee, who shall make a comprehensive plan for the present and future development of grounds and buildings.
11. To administer the Settlement School funds.
The following policy in regard to the limitation of the personnel of the Settlement School Committee was likewise adopted at thi, session:
1. Henceforth no one, who is act iv ely affiliated with the resident staff of the Settlement School, shall be eligible to serve on the Sett l emen t School Committee.
2. The tenure of office shall be that defined by Grand Council action at Charlevoix, in 1921 , viz: The chairman of the Settlement Schoo l Committee shaH be appointed for the interim of conventions . and the other members for a period of one official year, with r eappointment contingent upon service, the official year being defined as the interim between the annua l meeti n gs of the said committee.
In accordance with this policy, the Grand President reappointed all of the committee members of the year 1921·22 to se rve as members of the Settlement School Committee fo r the year 1922 -2.3 , with Miss Kate Miller as chairman of sai..i committee: giving Mrs. Dowell the privilege of resigning from t he commi ttee in case she sho ul d p r efer to be associated with the teaching sta ff of the Sett!ement School for the year 1922-23
Before the adjournment o f the joint session a motion was passeu to the effect that henceforth in all r ecords of the fraternity, the ori gi nal cottage on the schoo l grounds be known as the Mary Pollard Cottage, in recognition of her loyal and worthy service to the fraternity as the fi r st II B (> Head Resident.
Following the ajljournment of the joint meeting of the Grand Uluncil and the Settlement School Committee on May 8, the Council met in regular session. Consideration was first given to the annual reports of national and province offi cers, and of standing committee chairmen.
These reports showed that the past year has been OTIe of most gratifying internal development.
The Grand Council accepted with much regret at this time the resignation of Miss Pauline Turnbun, Gamma Province President , and of Mrs. Nina Harris Allen, Alumna! Editor, both of whom have given in unstinted measure of their loyal service to II The resignation of Miss Lulu Clark, Grand Secretary, was also accepted..
A comprehensive study of chapter was made by the Grand Council, with the reports of the Province President and the visiting Council member as a basis for constructive criticism in each case. All chapters falling distinctly below the standards of the fraternity in any way were carefully listed, and the Grand President was authorized to write personally to each chapter, reminding it of its responsibility to the fraternity, and of the impossibility of II B continuing to allow the privileges of the fraternity to chapters failing to meet their responsibilities.
Grand Council voted to provide each standing committee, except the Settlement School Committee, with official stationery at fraternity . expense, said stationery to be marked in each case with the committee heading.
The IT B <I> Fellowship for 1922-23 was awarded to Alice IIarndt, Illinois A, who will pursue advanced work in Journalism at the University of Illin ois . '
A motion was passed to the effect that hereafter a printed slip shall be enclosed wi th all II B publications of a private nature (Constitution, rituals, initiation and pledging ceremonies, the Senior Farewell Ceremony, etc., etc.) remindin g chapters and individuals that these publications must be kept under lock and key} and that any such publications not so guarded will be subject to recall by the Grand Council. I
At the suggestion of the ARROW Mailing Clerk it was decided again to remind members of the fraternity (not life subscribers to the ARROW) that an annual subscription to the ARROW begins with the October number and ends with the Ju ne number, an annual suhscription being recognized as for the current fraternity year.
Grand Council voted to recommend to chapters that, whenever they build or remodel chap ter houses , they submit a blue print of the plans for the same to the Grand Treasurer f or her files, these plans to be available for the assistance of any other chapter contemplating similar building.

Grand Council voted to recommend to alumn., clubs located in towns with II 4> chapters that they adopt the Alumna:! Mother idea with relation to the girls of the act ive chapter, the same to be based on the Town Mother idea as introduced at Indianola by Mrs. Sigler. (See March ARROW).
Grand Council voted to add to the official instructions sent out hy the Extension Committee to applying groups the foll owi ng paragraph: "It shall be considered unethical on the part o f applying groups to attach or seem to attach official significance to th e unauthorised visits of members of the fraternity."
Henceforth the observance of the following unifonn house rules shall be obligatory upon all II B <I> chapters occupying houses:
UNIFORM CHAPTER HOUSE REGULATIONS
t. House telephones must not be Dsed for local sacid clllls :liter 10 :30 P .M .
3. CutinI' hours for men shall be limited to afternoon and evening, J. "Pi Beta Phi House" sball be substituted for the sometimes customary IIHello" a. the telephont response
4. Announcement of callen and of telephone calls shall be given at all times in a quiet, dignified way.
S. Where bath tubs and toilets are in the same room, screens or shower cartains around the tub shaH be provided and used.
6. At the time officially set as the final limit for calling hours, all chapter house doors shall be locked, and all members or bouse gue s ts entering the house later must ring the door bell and be admitted by the chaperone or, with her permission, by her deputy.
7. The use of an official bllIlk for making monthly reports covering house finance shall be obligatory.
8. Chapters shall use at dinner the ( oll o wing n B 4' Grace: For health, for food, for friendship tried and true We thank Thee, Lord. May we through bonds of wine and blue Spread Thy great love abroad.
The Grand Council suggests that chapters allow no local telephone calls during dinner, and that, since so many chapters employ men wailen, members do not come to the dining·room for hreakful in negligee•.
The following poJicies were adopted in connection with the making of official visits:
INSTRUCfIONS FOR CHAPTERS
1 Chapters must always make certain that visiting officers are met upon their arrival and are accompanied to the train upon their departure.
2. In order that an officer may accomplish the purpose of her visit she must know personally as many active members as possible. Chapters should auist her in this by giving her, upon her arrival, a list of all members and pledges and by arranging for time for her with individuals and with t he entire group. A detailed oulline of her program is most helpful and when possible should be prepared for her guidance
3. Social engagemenu of chapter members sh ould be U of secondary importance during the visit of an officer.
4- Arrangements for conferences with the Dean of Women and with the Alnmnee Advisory Board should be made before the arrival of the vi.itor.
Read Page Ka , uine Sub s criptions Throuch Our Acency
5- The thoughtful courtesy of an efficient holtess must be ever apparent, eac h chapte'r member realizing that the officer is the guest not of the chapter office rs alone nor of the local alumnee but 0'( the entire active chapter.
I INSTRUCTIONS FOR VISITING OFFICERS
I. The policy of n B precludes the making of surprise v isits
2. Arrangements for visits must be made rar enough in advance t o make certain that the time set is convenient for the chapters and inte rferes with no college examination schedules.
3. Sched ul es and rules of chapter hou sel and dormitories must be respected.
4. The visits of officers must not be made a social or financial burden upon the c hapters.
5. Personal attentions luc h as unn ecessary t axis clothes pressing and serving of mea l s in one's room must not be' conside red perquisites of office.
6. Fraternity privacy and loyalty demand that the utmost dis c retion be used in the discussion of chapte r problems with those other than the chapte r directly concerned. its Advisory Board, and the G r and Council. Each office r sho uld hold in mind the knowledge of the untold harm done ch apters by lasting imp re ssio n s created by the misconstruing even of constructively intended criticism.
In r esponse to a number of questions r egarding the propr iety of including uninitiated pledges and patronesses at an initiati on banquet or cooky-shine, Grand Council expresses its sentiment t o the e ffe ct that on ly members of the fraternity should be pe rm itted to attend the initiation banquet; but th at p ledges and patronesses sho uld be in cl ud ed at the Founder's Day Banquet (or similar Founder's Day fun ction) if the ch'pter so desires.
'fhe Grand President was at this time auth o ri zed to compile a complete list of all Constitutional changes made since the last edi ti on ( 1919) of the Constitution, the same to be printed and sent to each offi ce r , chapte r and a lumn re cl ub .
A moti on wa s passed to the effect that the whi st le and th e call be removed from the Initiation Ceremony.
Grand Council voted that h er eafter no publication issued in the name or interests of n B 4> shall be printed without the officia l app r oval of the Grand President.
Grand Council voted to instruct each alumnre repr esentative having in cha rge the Farewell Ceremony slips fo r Seniors of a chapte r to send such slips immediately following the ce r emony to the said chapter's Pro vince Vice-presidrn t .
G r and Council a l so voted t'l, call the attention of th e chapte r s to the fact that chapter officers should always be chosen for ability and efficiency, r egardless of class rating or personal popularity.

Because of frequent inaccuracies in the records of initiates as submitted to office rs by the chapter corresponding secretaries in the past, Grand Council voted to amend Stat. !II, Sec. 4, f, of the Constitution, under the heading, "Duties of the Chapter Corresponding Secretary," to read:
f. Wi thin three days after each initiation ceremony to send to the Grand Sec retary upon III official blank a ce rt ificate of initiation for nch initiate, the same to be counter-signed by the initiate.
Since a portion of the duties formerly assigned to the Alumna! Editor are now performed by the Mailing Clerk, the Constitution wac; made to conform with fraternity practice by striking out c, d, f, and g, of Statutes III A, Sec. 9.
A motion was also passed to the effect that an official notification of the affiliation of a transfer be sent to the Cataloguer and to the Grand Secretary at the time of sajd affiliation by the chapte r co rresponding secretary. In accordance with this rulin g the following Constitutional changes were effected: It was voted to substitute the following for Stat.

Since the gene r al feeling on the part of visiting officers of the fraternity was to the effect that an official visit of three days to each chapter was, in the great major i ty of cases unnecessa r y, and in some cases worked a r eal ha r dship on t he chapter so visited: it was voted to amend Stat . III A, Sec. 4, j , 1, by st r iking out the word "three" and su bsti tuting the wo rd Htwo" so as t o r ead:

In keeping with the ruling made at Charlevoix, in 1921, by Grand Council, it was moved that Stat . IX, Sec..t 7, be amended by striking out the words "a Board of Directors," and inserting in the place thereof the words Ila standing committee" so as to read:
See. 7. Pi Beta Phi Settlement School.
The fraternity ,hall maintain at Gatlinbur" Tennelsee, I Settlement School as a memorial to ill founders. Thia school shall be administered by • Itanding committee under the lupervision of the Grand Council, and .ha H be .upported by To)untlry gifts and by such national fraternity money as shall from time to time be voted by Convention or by Grand Council.
In consequence of the same ruling 'passed at Charlevoix, it was voted to amend the Constitution, Article II , 1, g, by st rik ing out the word HBoard," and substituting the word "Committee."
It was voted to amend the Constitution by striking out Article III, A, Sec. 8, since, under the present plan of having one official je\'Ileler, the office of Custodian of the Pin is dispensed with.
For the same reason it was voted to further amend the Constitution by striking out Stat. III , Sec. 15, having to do with the duties of the Custodian of the Pin.
It was also voted to amend the Constitution. Article VII, Sec. I, by striking out the words "two thirds vote of convention, after notice of one college year has been given to all chapters of the proposed changes," and inserting these words by way of suhstitution: "three-fourths vote of convention, the entire vote on such amendment to include not less than four - fifths of the official votes of said convention," so as to. read:
Sec. J. Amendments.
Amendments to this Constitution may be made on l y by a threefo u rths vote of convention, the entire vote on such amendment to include not less than of the official votes of said convention i or during the interim of convention, by the unanimous vote of Grand Co u nci l.
The final business transacted at this session was that relative to convention.
Because of the necessity of taxing the individual chapters in case convention should be held in 1923, it was decided to put the question (0 a chapter vote early in the fall. Although the place for hold i ng the next convention was not definitely selected at this time, the membe r s of the Cou n cil favored Estes Park, Colo., because of the strong desire expressed at the Charl evoix Convention in favo r of a western convention; because of the natural beauty and advantages

ANNUAL REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The Chainnan of the Settl ement Schoo l Comm itt ee submits the following report t o the Grand Council o f IT B
The past year has been an important one in the histo ry of our School as its first decade of service to the co mmun ity of Gatlinburg was completed in Fe b ru a ry, 1922. R emem bering th e small beginnings of the school and the attitude of the people ten years ago, it is gratifying in the extreme to read the foll owing in Mi ss Bishop's annual report to the committee.
liThe general fe e ling in the Burg, and I feel it is justified , is that the past year has been a very successful one. The school spirit has been fin e, the grade of work has been well up to standard and we have felt that there was more community cooperation than ever Read Page 38-0rder Magazine Subscriptions Through Our Agency

befo re . I can't say too mu ch f o r the hard , con scientious work done by all the teachers and w orke rs here. \Vhen some vis ito rs fr om a distance told me last fall that th ey did n o t believe there was a sc hool in the United States with the splendid t eache r s we had I agreed with them fully."
As we begin the second decade of our history it seems most fitting that the new PQlicy of an annual meeting of the full committee at the school should be inaugurated. The account of the work of the past year was presented to the committee in ' three written reports from the Head Resident, School Principal, and the Nurse.
Miss Bishop reported as f ollows: Four tea chers f o r the grades and 1\igh school, one for weaving, the nurse, a ho u se mo ther, head resident, UAuDt Lizzie" and "Jim" to look aft er the o utdo or work , made up our staff for the year. Six lived in the teac h ers' cottage and seven took their meals th ere. Miss Nic holson lived in the dormitory, planned the mea ls and the h o use wo rk and had supervision of the s ix little gi rls (all we co uld accommodate) who lived th ere. By enclosing the rear screened porch, added room was obtained f o r c hildren who stayed there on stormy ni ghts. N o h ouse on the school property was available for the boys so fiv e of them were bo arded in families in the community . This unsa tisfac to ry arrangement was the best that could be mana ge d but o nly two o f the boys finished the term .
During the year, the cottage bought fr om the Andrew Ogle family was remode led , repaired, furn ishe d and equipped as a cente r f or the health work . Nurses and doc tors wh o hav e visited it pronounce it wonderfully well adapted to the sp l endid w o rk our nur se is doing. A fine saddle horse has lately been purch ased f o r the use of the nurse .
Six looms are in operation in the school but th e grea-test achievement has been in interesting the women of the co mmunity in weaving . Six new looms have bee n install ed in various homes and the girls and women have many articl es ready f or the summer hotel trade. As fast as possible we are arranging to take th eir products and, if the weavin g prospers as the basket business has do ne in the past few years, it should eventually be a source of income to the school.
Noon lunch was served to the youngest children during the winter.
A little unfinis hed r oom in th e basemen t was simply equipped and used for this purpose. The children enjoyed the lunches and near l y eve ry one sbowed a gain in weight at the end o f the term. They also took mo re pride in the lunch they b r ought from home when t hey knew they were going to bring it to the table.
Our school building is now too small and with the present outlook for new pupils, we will n ee d to conside r enlarged school and resident quarters and provision f o r an adequate wa ter supply bo th fo r buildings and for fire protection . .

REPORT OF SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE 31
School opened August IS, 1921, with one hundred pupils includi n g fourteen in high school. A ttendance was more regular during the year and spirit good. The total enrollment for the yea r was one hundred and twenty-five. M o re than twenty-five additional came in from the creeks schools after the free school closed, but the difficulties of walking from four to six miles twice a day, and the more serious difficu I ties of t r ying to keep up with the childre n who had so much better opportunities and instruction, proved too much for nearly all o f them. H oweve r, in spite of the fa c t that school was in session until April I , there were m OTe than seventy-five who t ook the final examinations. \Vriling of the problems which came with this l a r ge influx of new pupils in the middle of the schoo l year, Miss Helen Chew, the principal, said as follows:
wfo provide for th ese newcomers, especially th ose who have come at Christmas time, b ri ngs several prob lem s, the housing p roposition, more space, and an additional teache r. The fi r st is possibly the most c ryi ng need, especia lly for the boys. This yea r we had six boys living out among the people. This gave us very litt le oppo r tunity t o ca r e for them outside of sch oo l ho urs although Evel yn very forcefully impressed their r esponsibility upon those in whose homes they were staying.
IICo nditi ons in many mou ntain homes are not very encouraging for study a nd th e work of only one o f th e six: w as passing. Our man teacher has li ved at the hotel, taking two of his meals at our house. This limited his r elati on with the boys u pon whom he cou l d ha ve exerted a splendid influence, if brou g ht together u nder do rmit ory conditio n s. Parents want more supervisi on for their boys if they are trusting them to an inst itution . It is prope r guidance out of school th at most boys need.
HMost of the children ente r ing after Christmas, ente r th e middle grades, and during a certain time Miss Ditmar's r oom was too c rowded f or one teache r . We h a ve suggested that a new arrangement be made in the grades, placing the first, second, and primer classe s und er one tea che r, third , f ourth and fifth with anoth er, leaving the high school alone; this gives three grades to each t ea che r instead of
To do this a new grade tea-c her would be necessary. Thi s is advisable because this yea r we could not meet th e needs of the inco ming pupils at Christmas time because o f lack of space and classes suitable for their progress. Though n o t entirely, this ca n account for our n ot being able to hold many of them.
"This increased enr ollme nt mean s more class ro om also_ Our school h ouse is ideal for a small school but any growth makes it unsatisfa cto ry i first, its size, and second, the noise whi ch the thin partitions betwee n th e three large r ooms make unav o idable. The Read Pace 38-0rder Macazine Subscriptions Through Our Agency

work in the middle of these three rooms practi ca lly must stop at timeg, until certain :y:tivities in other rooms are over.
liThe need of more practical work as agriculture, cooking, sewing is very apparent. Aside from the weaving, this side of the work has not developed in proportion to the other departments. These subjects have been taught but not systematically and practically.
uNine of our best pupils finished second year of high school j most of 'ft'hom are too young, their parents feel, to leave home. In losing them from school we are taking the very heart and character from the upper department. Some will continue their education but many find the sum of their opportunities with us. Although the policy of the school has been to specialize in the lower grades, yet to my mind the time has come to take a step forward and the peop le are asking for it."
Phyllis Higinbotham, ou r nurse, the only r esident nurse in Sevier County, presented a most interesting r epo rt. During the year she has made a t otal of 994 visits includ ing 346 visits to school chi ldren and 98 office visits. One hundred and sixty-one cases have been treated. When it is considered that most of these visits have been made on over roads otherwise impassable, and many of them on foot, the figures have an added meaning.
Miss Higinbotham has assisted the doctor at two clinics fo r eye. ear, nose and throat, held at our J enn ie Nicol Memorial, and has cooperated with the doctors sent to study hookwonn conditions , and to treat th e same. She gives high praise to the local doctors uwho have been most helpful and loyal , and have often made trips at great personal inconvenience, and more cost than r ewa r d ."
The members of the committee who were ' give n definite duties by the acting chairman last November , reported on their special work. Miss Miller told of her activities on the endowment plan and methods used to help active chap ters in planning p r ograms for meetings on the Settlement School. Curtis reported on ways and means for earning money suggested to the duns and reported by the same. Mrs. Rugg gave a brief explanation of her work for publicity and Miss Stuart explained financial m atters in detail in connection with her report. Mrs. Dowell, r ecently appointed member, gave valuable information and suggestions as the result of her residence at the school during the past year.
The sessions of the committee meeting were devoted to an intensive study of the immediate and future problems of our school and a number of recommendations to G rand Council will be presented as a tangible result.
The acting chairman found it impossible to make the usual !temi·annual visit to the School during . school session but profited by a conference with the head resident and two members of the com·
Read Page 38-0rder Magazine Subscriptions Through Our Agenc:y
mittee early in the year. M iss Stuart's visit to Gatlinburg during th e winter was most helpful. Mrs. Rugg spent the week previou, to the committee meeting at the schoo l inspecting the property, co nsulting with members of the local adviso ry boa rd and county school officials and obtaining full information concern ing our immediate needs.
The committee greatly the spirit of cooperation shown by co unty sc h ool ofQcials who came from Sevierville at great inconvenience to discuss problems of the school district. Conference with members of the local ad\'isory board has also been most helpful.
The f ormal opening of the Jennie Nicol Mem()T ial and dedication of the tablet marking the building is the outstanding feature of the meeting. It is another red - letter day in the history of our work in Gatlinburg The acting chai rman wishes to express her appreciation of the loyalty and coope rati on of the members of the co mmittee and the Settlement School Staff during the year.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION AGENCY
It has n ow been nine years since the first contrihution was made to the Settlement School from the Magazine Agency. I n that time the total amount contributed has been $1,940.06.
The largest amount for any year ($476.50) was sent in 1921. This past year the r eturns ha.ve not been so large, th e amount being $345 . 11. This is a ccou nted for by the economic pressure of the present time.
In the coming year, however, we plan for greater activity than ever before, and we can expect returns, both because business conditions are better, and because magazine prices are down to the prewar level .
Our lists show 400 subscribers during 1921 -22 . This, of course represents many more subscriptions. Most of these have come fr om individuals, and we wish to thank each and every one of them.
Several clubs and chapters have cORtributed through their rep-

resentatives, and to these we are most grateful. \Ve hope that many more will cooperate in this way. Any clubs or chapters desiring a quantity of price lists will be supplied upon request.
Many reasons are given for not sending subscriptions to us. The most important one is that a iu hscriber has for years been sub· scribing through some other worthy agen t dependent upon this business for a living We recognize this reason as sound and iuf· ficien!, but we wish to make a suggestion. If you really wi.h to help the Settlement School, send us at least one subscription. one will not greatly reduce the profit of your present agent and it will add a little to ours. We perhaps have stressed this point a great deal but it is because we are continually confronted with it and we hope we have found a solution satisfactory to all concerned.
Please note the following:
1. Our agency furnishes every magazine and periodical published, domestic and loreign.
2. Renew.b count the same as new subscriptions.
3. Please allow sufficieDt time {or filling orders.-from two to three weeks.
4. "Club" rates a.re offered.
S. "Special" offers made by publishers C3n be ordered through tile Agency.
6. Discounts are allowed to libraries. .
7. Price Ii,ts sent and estimates and information are gladly hrnilihed.
8. Subscriptions received at any time all through the year.
9. Many magazines make special rates on Christmas gift orders and send gilt cards to the recipients. Please send such orders early.
10 Since publishers will not accept orden from agents un Ius accompanied by proper remittance, we must ask you to send remittance with the order making check or money orde r payable to B. G . Reisinger.
We are doing a big work at Gatlinburg, and big work requires big money. You can con tribut e a part of it by sending us your magazine subscriptions.
The officers of the fraternity stand back of this enterprise and they are going to bring it to your attention again this season because they realize its possibilities if given adequate s upp or t
Again we thank all who have given their support in the past, and ask your continued patronage, and we anticipate many new subscribers.
The Agency stands ready to serve you, and thr ough you, our Settlement School.

Just as last year, the two most important objectives of the club have been the Settlement School 'nnd the active chapter. To the first we have contrib · uted $'U2, and to the latter $150, together with some furnishings nnd equipment for the chapter apartment. The sale of Christmas cards has proved a successful way of obtaining money, while a special collection at the Settlement School meeting brought in a good additional amount for that c!l.use.
This year we opened our program with a convention meeting, when those of us wht} couldn't go to Charlevoix were given the convention news by those who did go. Our next meeting was the always jolly alumnre-active gathering a t tbe home of Mrs. Benj:unin.
In December we held our meeting following the first annual l uncheo n of the Boston Panhellcnic Associa t ion, when between three and four hundred f r aternity women were gnt h ered together.
At the Vital Health Topics meeting in January, at the home of Mrs. Rugg. D r . Robert H. Nicho l s gave an historical outline of psychopathology and psyc h othe r apy. I n Febr u ary we agai n t ried t he experiment of l ast yea r and h eld comm un ity mee t ing s.
W e made a specia l effort th is year- to make our Sett l emen t School meet· ing a profi t ab le one. It was he l d at St. Mark's Church in Brookline, and the program included musical selections, stereopticon views of the Settlement School and s u rr oundings, which were made more real to us by a talk by Mrs . Rugg, and also sbo rt t a l ks by Mrs. Nickerson and Jennie Allyn. The meeting was open to guests, and tea was served at the home of . Miss Crane.
As us u al, the club and the active chapter joined in celebrating Founders' Day, at Beacon Hall. Brookline After a business meeting, we had an h o ur of games and good fun, followed by supper. Our :May meeting was a party fur the younger generation .
Our year's progr&m will close with the constitution meeting in June, and o ur annual outing in July.

According to our custom, we have met twice a month, once on Saturday afternoon, and on ce on a week -day. This is sometimes 3D afternoon and sometimes an evening meeting, so that everyone may attend occ 3sionally
We feel particularly proud of the amount raised (or the Settlement School this year, $100. It is so much more than we arc usually able to do lhat it surprises us, too It was latgdy the result of selling Christmas cards, and maintaining a gift shop in the home of one of our members. We made our "specialties," the cost of which was dedu cted. A good portion of the selling price was therefore profit. We are particularly grateful to the modest n 4> whose home held the gift shop and to a few members who made m()re than their share of the "stock."
Early in the year we had an all-day sewing meeting for the school, and made a few children ' s nighties and some towels. These. with a few toys and some clothing. made up our Christmas box to the school.
As usual. Pi Phis have come to our vicinity and gone. The inflow has been somewhat ahead tlf the exodus however, and we are gaining in numbers. Several of the recently arrived Pi Phis live in suburbs which makes our average attendance low. but we are always glad to see them when they can come. Four arrived late in the year and will not be on our list of active members until next year.
Socially as usual, our meetings have been wonderfully successful, we think. nnd o ur spirit and enthllsiasm makes up for our failures in technicalities.
The Toronto Alummr Club invited us to celebrate Founders' Day with them and we were indeed sorry that we could not accept. We are looking forw:'lTd to n picnic with them later in the summer at Queenston Heights.
We celebrated Founders' Day by a luncheon at the home of one of our members. It was particularly successfu l in th!lt we had a. larger number together than ever before.
Our summer p l ans are neve r definite before events occur because so many members are away. but we always meet occasionilly on picnics or some other informal gatherings during the summer.
We hope that other clubs have enjoyed their yen as much as we have ours.

Our year's work has been much the same as in the past. The lact that 50 large a proportion of our members are non·resident handicaps us in arranging programs . However, we plan meetings as much 3S possible when some of the out-of·town· girls can be with us.
Oar regular meetings were devoted to the prescribed study. In November we held our annual sale of (ancy work and candy. This year we had a shipment of woven goods from the Settlement School as well as baskets. By t h is means we were able to make our usual quota for the Settlement School and the Fellowship and Loan Funds, and also contribute to the ho use fund of New York r. The active girls helped w loyally, making candy and assistin g at the sale itself. Our March meeting was held the afternoon of New York Gamma's initiatory banquet and ha.d a record attendance of ten besides a visitor (rom the New York cI ub.
In January we were most glad to welcome Miss Clark when she visited the chapter . We were sorry that Mrs. McCormick', stay was so short tha t we were unable to entertain her. Soon after initiation we joined the '&Ctive chap t er in 'I. fancy dress cooky-shine in honor of the new Pi Pha Founders' Day
we al so celebrated with the chapter The freshmen put on an original musi ca l co medy which was most entertaining.
Our program has now been completed except {or the tea we ha ve during c('!mmencement and o ur ann u al picnic. Last summer we went up on the St. Law rence to the cottage of one of the active girls There were twenty·se.ven Jlresent, including Virginia Smith, Oregon 0, and two patrones ses of the l ocal chapter. One of the girls had just returned from Charlevoix, so she gave us all the convention news.
Next year we exp t'ct to have two m ore resident alumn :e (an almo!'t fifty per cent increase for us) and so are l oo king f or ward t o "big" meetings. We should be eve r so glad if olhers w o uld j o in us, too.

Tn looking over the r eco rds for the past year 1 find that our club has h :l d a larger average attendance and a mo re varied program th an in former years.
Last summer we enjoyed the out-of-doors with picnics and porch parties In the fall w e h :l d a m os t enjoyable ge t - to - gether meeting with a sausage -r oast in the woods. This was a family party for friends, husbands and children and was well attended.
At the next meeting our pre5ident, Gladys Wheeler, gave a delightful luncheon in her new home: Here we talked of our plans for the yea r and adopted a new financial method. In former years we had iiven all of the money we cou l d r aise to the Settlement School. For a ll other expen se s which our d ues did not cove r, we had a tax. This wa s un sat isfactory W e agreed u po n a budget system Each member was asked to pledge enough for dues, Settlement School and extra f unds. Thi s p l a n has been success f ul, We have r aised over sixty dollars for the Settlement School. Be side s giving to the Fellowship and Loan funds, we ma de a gift of so u p spoons to the new Cornell chapter. At Christmas time we, dre ssed dolls -and sen t many t oys to the Settlement School.
Our members do not like to study the constitution any betttr than they did in colltge days. In fact, few attend the This year when we had a cooky·shine we had ou r largest meeting. We had planned a little surp ri se party by studying examination papers and the constitution There was an interesting discussion over some of the points.
One of our most pleasant meetings was the Founders' Day celeb rati on In stead of going down town , Jane He ston invited us t o her home for o ur lnncheon. This was combined with a shower for Ali ce Street. The "Wine and Blue" were much in' evidence in the blue favors, in the raspberry ice and in the abund a nc e of carnat io ns, the latter be ing stnt by the p r ospec tive bride· groo·m.

We started the year with an enthusiastic meeting at the home o( our president, Mrs. Frank Johnson, where we planned our year's work. For the fint time we had 'It program committee, and a regular program mapped out (or our meetings. We think it has put our club on a firmer basis. Because o( the small o( our club, there has alway. been a tendency to poltpone it on account of other {unctions.
A rummage sale in October added to our exchequer. Because of indushial conditions in Akron, we marked everything very low, and in many cues, our sympathies prompted our giving of many children's garments to destitute mothers.

The club is closing a year (Jf interesting and pro6table meetings, but with, as always, the h ope that the n ext year may be more profitable and interesting.
Of course the most important thir.g to be decided in the way of business, was the usual contribution t o the ' Settlemt:nt School. We are so rry not to report some startling, new method of raising money, but of all the plans discussed (and their name is legion), n o ne seemed feasible in a small town where many organitations are making constan t demands of this kind. So we rai sed the money by each member's giving $:Z.50.
Am o ng the i nstances o f club action taken this year is the decision to h ave the alumnlr club act as a re commending body for new girls both in Ath ens nnd elsewhere. This was a co nv ention sugge!otion and is looked u pon as one which will prove helpful.
Another action taken by the club was that of deciding t o present to the active chapter a lovi ng cup, as an in ce ntive to scholarship, the name of the girl winning it, t o be engraved on the cup eac h year.
We have established the custom, too, of having two socia l functions in conjunction with the active rhapter, one a dinne r immediately after pledge day, and the other the Founders' Day banquet.
At commencement time this year the club will give a tea at the house of Mrs. Stadler, h()ooring all mothers of the acti,"e girls, and of the alumnre who will be here at the time. Al so a cooky-s hine with just Pi Phis, followed by a dance, will bt given that week
During the summer, many of the members are out of t own and therefore our meetings are discontinued until September. We feel that the same keen interest in both local and national affairs, which has been manifested this year, will be still more mark ed next year.

As hIlS been our custom, we hav e met on the first Saturday of each month , an informal luncheon preceding the business meeting
At our first meeting in October, we were spurred to effort when Mrs. Marks, our president nnd convention delegate, gave us a. most interesting report of convention activities. In November, our meeting was given over to devising p l ans fo r raising money fo r our Settlement School.
Our December meeting, always the best attended of t he year, was a Christmas party. Following the business meeting each one received &1 sm!lll gift brought by some othe r n 4'.

The yea r of 1921 "u bas been very successful for the Miami Valley Alumn;ae Club . Star t ing with a smul club, we a re gradually increuing in number until we now feel that the p r ospects f o r a strong snd active alumnlle club in Dayton are very bright. Our foremost purpose this year was to earn mOlley for the Settlement Schoo l , which we sccomplished by personal cont r ibution and the selling of Mrs. GutgeseU's ChristmtU card s We hope that next yea r o ur profiu will be mu ch greater since they so far IUrpused our anticipa· tionl in this our initial year.
On April 27. we beld oar Founders' nay ce lebrati on in the form o f a cooky shine. Singing fraternity lOngs and playinc the new n <II record Hemed almost to bring back the spirit of college days.

The Morgantown (W. Va) Alumnae: Club still in its infancy, having organized only one year, reports a most interesting and successful year.
Our first meeting, October 28. held at the home of Helen Ambler was given over to organiz:ation of the club. Our activities, however, opened with those of the active chapter, when, during rushing season the alumnre gave a dinner dance for the active chapter, rushees and their frif"nds, the dinner being served '3.t the home of Mrs. C. W. Waggoner, and the dance at the home of Mrs. Ed South. At our first meeting the secretary was instructed to get in touch with all neighboring Pi Phis, and invite them to become members of the club. We also decided to med the last Tuesday of each mOllth. The second meeting November 8, an atnmnoe ChristmRS letter was started to the active chapter. One alumnae: member was to visit the chapte r on the first Tuesday of each month and gi\-e a talk on some important subject such as scholastic standing, and departmental activities.
On January 24, we made a study of the constitution. At a special meeting February II, since we were a young club and had not really had a chance to money for the Settlement School fund, we decided to ask each IT n <I> in the state to contribute $1.00 for the Settlement School fuud Many contributed and we sent in $25.00, our first club contribution. We hCipe to do bigger things in the future as our club grows stronger. February 21, we devoted to the Settlement School. Three r epo rts. l'Origin of the SchooP' by Helen Ambler. Plans and Prospects" by Blanche E. Price, and "Finances of the Settlement School" by Claire Fisher, were given a t this meeting We also discussed active chapter problems. We sent $5 00 for Fellowship fund. March 25, the club W3S entertained at the chapter house by Ann Traubert and Claire Fisher. At this time. the allnual alumnae: report was filled out and sent in . The examination questions had been dis· tributed among the active a1u.rnnse members and were answered :!.t this meeting. On the evening of April 13. we entertained at the Old Home tea room with a six o'clock dinner, honoring Miss Dorothy \V oodward, our province president.
We celebrated Founders' Day with the active chapter when all gathered at the house for a regular cooky-shine On May 16, the active chapter and alumnae: club were with a party at the home of Mrs. I. G. Luzelle, with Mrs. C. W. \Vaggoner, Mrs. J. E. Hodgson, Mrs. H. L. Carspet:ken and Mrs. Luz.elle. our patronesses, as hostesses.

We were most fortunate in securing Miss Evelyn Bishop', father, Dr. Bishop. to give us an illustrated talk on the mountain folk of Gatlinburg and vicinity, aud intimate glimpses of our own "Little Pigeon."
For several years we have lupported two French war or phans . We continued that work this year, and in addition, raised at on c meetinr. after a mo.t inspiring talk by a recently returned worker from the field, sufficient funds for the support of two Armenia.n children for one year.
All during the fall, we were very busy sellinii:' Mrs . Gutgeselt's Christmu cards for the Settlement School, and we ftel justly proud of the f ac t that togeth er with the $45 0 00 rai sed in th is w ay $25.00 through th e sale of silk stockings, and over $600.00 in contributions, we recently lient $1,100 .00 to Gatlinburg for our school.
Ins tea d of sending our usual sum as 8. Christmas gift to the Settlement School, we spent the money in material f or napkins and tow els and then sewed on them at our Dece mber meeting, sending these much needed articles in place of the m oney.
Our meeting was held at the h ome of Eliza beth An d erson, in Ardmore, Pa ., preceding Pennsylvania A initiation.
Our club i s particularly (ortonate in claiming as tw o of ils resident m embers Mis. Turnbull and Mrs. Grier, two of o ur dea r foun ders. Last year, both were able to atte nd ou r F o und er s' D ay banquet. Thi s year we r egr etted very much the absence of Mrs . Grier, du e to illne ss. Mrs .

THE A.RROW OF PI BETA PHI
We will probably have a picnic or a beach party in June, and then we will go our different ways for the summer
You might be interested to know of the Panhellenic in Toledo. We have had three bridge luncheons this winter. The different alumnre fraternity groups take turns in acting as hostesses This gives an opportunity to mec:t the fraternity women of the city, whom we would be unab l e to know, otherwise.
Some of our members hold positions of note in Toledo activities. Mrs. Ben W. J oh ns on, (Kate Walker, Nebraska B), was recently elected p r esiden t of the Toledo Federation of Woman's Clubs for the coming year.
Mrs. Jud son Pierce, (Ethel W atts. Washington A), also takes an a c tive interest in club affairs. She is District Vice·chairman of the Federated Clubs of Northwestern Ohio.
Miss Estelline Wil son, (Missouri A), as assistant superintendent of T oledo schools, holds quite a reponsible position.
We regret to announce that we have lost two members to other clubs , But ou r l oss will be another's gain, of course. Mrs William A. Gibson moved to Charleston, W est Va ., where her husband is doing experimental work for the Owen Bottle Co. Mrs. R. W. Gundrum moved to New York City.

They have been renting .. hoose for years, but this year the house was sold to another orga niution. Our girl. had first chance to buy the plRce, but it was st the poi nt of repa irs, and they thought it advisable not to purchase it. So at the end of college year they will be homeless. are only 3. few house. in Bloomington that are suitable for fraternities and we fo!lt it was () ur work to Ita.rt the ba.U rolling for lhe ownership ()f a fraternity h ouSf' In March we had collected money enough, (from alumnae), to purchase a fine lot near the university, and on this lot we hope to, in some way, bQild a home for forty girls. We are now considering planl for bringing about our desires.

The Indianapolis Alumnre Club is approaching the close of a succe'ssful year. Monthly meetings have been h.ld as usual from Octobt-r to Jun e, with the except ion of a February meeting, which was omitted because its date con· flicted with that of the annual city Panhelleni c meeting In December, mem· bers of the active chapter of Butler College were our guests, and the eon· vention pageant was presented under the direction of the author, Laun:l Ciss n a, Indiana r.
In January a lun c he on meeting was held at the ' Vomen's Dep:utment Club with our mothers as special guests The a.fternoon was devotf'd to the ex· hibition of the Settlement School s lid es. The June meeting is the annual party for U q, kiddi es Every other meeting is a lun cheon meeting and each bus iness sessio n is followed by an inter esting program on the constitution, Settle· ment School, convention report, Loan and Scholarship funds. o r kindred topics
In securing money for the Settlement School this year, the club divided itself into teams untler the direction of cap tains. who, in turn were r esponsible to the chairman of the Settlement School committee. The sale of Christmas cards and Christmas wrapping papers, individual card parties, (he annual club ca rd party, a monthly market of home-cooked foods and hand·made articles, (sold at the meetings), 1 rummage sale and an auction sale, netted a total of over $425 for the Settlement School. In accordance with a s uggestion made at convention, aJI members who were invited to ri de to the meetings in th e automobile of fellow members contributed the fare it would have otherwise cost them. to the auto taxi fund. This money and that collected in Bo x es, " also helped to swell the Settlement School contribution.
Founders' Day was fittingly celeb rat ed by a luncheon at the Claypool Hotel, attended by 167 Pi Phis. Each ta.ble was attractively decorated with a basket of wine carnations and delphinium. Our convention initiate. Dr. Mary L. Matthews, of Purdue Unive rsity, acted as toa.stmislfess and a member from each active chapte r in the sl3te responded to a toast. The musical program was' in charge of the active chapter at Butler Colle g e. The customa ry state dance was given at the Claypool H otel, the night of the luncheon.
The new rul es at Butler College regRrding membership campaigns are such as to prohibit the 11umnre club from taking a. definite part in the work during the s umm er, but the club will .cooperate with a.1l the chapters in the state, in so far as it may, to give Pi Phidom the best crop of pledges ever pro· duced.

AThe Lafayette Alumn2 Qub hIlS spent its first chartered year in attempting to learn how things should be done in order to gain the best results. \Ve hope to profit by o ur experience to such an extent that we may next year, be able to accomplish something worth while.
Our regular meetings, which were held once a month, included th ose pro· grams specified by the constitution , and combined business with pleasure. In additio n to thelt meetings we enjoyed a health talk by the county nurse. The club also info rmally entertained the Indiana .6 pledges. This was done early in the school year, so that we might better know each new Ubaby U 4." held several "cooky-shines" with the active chapter and were also inclllded in several of their spri ng rush-parties.
It was ou r good fortune thill year to be visited by both our Gr::md President nnd Provin ce President, whose visits proved A pleasure nnd An IDspirntion. Several members attended the state lun cheon in ce leb r ation of Founders' Day. We were proud that our own Pr ofesso r Mnry L. Matthews presided AS toastmistress
Our contribution to th e Settlement School this year was twenty do ll ars, a sum not large enough for h onorable mention. \V e were disappointed that a basket -sa le. held to raise the money, was not the success we had h oped it t o be. A gift of fifty dollars W3S giv en to Mildred Tingl ey, th e Indiana.6 girl, who went to China as a delegate t o the \V orld's Christian Student Conference.

Our first nlceting in September, held at the chapter bouse was largely devoted to the organiution of the Jear'. work and the interests of our 'Viscon ,in B Chapter. We .tID planned (or them • progressive dinner party for Octobe r S. The lrirts h&d as their guest. about twenty freshman girl. many of whom. are noW' wearers of the arrow.
It was our &Teat pleasure to have with us at our November meeting, held 3t Mrs. Tannahill's, Mn. Phil La.urence, our Province President, who ::J.lways brings us much inspiration and encouragement.
To raise money for our Seulement School fund this yur we sold Mrs. Gulgescll'. cuds makin, $50. In February we gave, at the chapter hOUle, • benefit bridge party of fifteen tables, which netted us $20. In January we sent for baskets and weaving from the Settlement School, from Mrs. Arnold's st Union, Miss., who handles basleets made by the Choct3.w I ndians . These, primarily, were for an exhibit for handwork in our College Art Hall. but sold so readily we hope t o have more for holiday sale. A. it was, they netted us abou t $7. We lent $5 to the Fellowship fond.
Thi. Ipring we ha.,·e inaugurated a plan of sending two representatives to the last chapter meeting of each m onth and inviting them to send two girls to our meeting the first week of each month. In this way we hope to bring about a closer bond between ourselves and the chapte r; we hue sttended both initio atio n ceremoniCi of the chapter which have been very impressive snd kept us ever mindful of the wonderful ties of IT B 41.
Founders' Oay was celebrated in Beloit this y ear by a joint dinner party of chapter and club at the home of Valerie Wi ckhem. The chapter girls planned the enjoyable dinner. Greetings from our Grand Vice -p resident and Province Vice-president were read and many orders secured for the new IT 4' phonograph record, which we are so :lRxious to receive. Three cheers for the New York Alumnle Club.
At present we are negoti ating the purchase of 3. l ovely home for Bel oi t club a.nd WiSCOllsin B. The big roomy porch overlooks the colh:ge t:smpus and the large living room with its inviting fireplace will make an ideal home for us all.
The summe r months will bring us picnics and happy reuni ons with our girls who are away during the year, and now with the purchase of :l home in view we shaJl have bu sy time planning ways and means.

Another year of happy associations has just pa.ssed. The monthly meet · ings have not been one hundred per cent in -attendance because the c lub number!l' many peop l e who -are active in import:'lDt city organi:tations, but the spirit of the meetings and the congeniality of the group is especially commendable
This year the club in anisting the active ch!lpter with rushing, gave n second annual progressive dinner at several of the alumn:r: homes. The co ur ses and decorations were representative of the seasons; I shiver when in memory [ draw bsck curt:!in and reveal the huge snow banked table of the last course. I wish you had 3.n etching of the frosted branches, but you would not have found the temperature really cold. for the little red candy canes of good fellowship broke the ice, n.nd the chill turned to thrill. During the rushing days and after them were meetings of the actives with the advisory boa rd, with a growing feeling th!lt the board should enco urag e the actives in all matters to act strongly and solidly on th eir own decisions. and only csll upon the board to these decisions I)r throw new light on them.
The fin:lnc:i:!l activities of the club have been even more int e resting than last year. The pledge made to the Settlement School was 50 i3rge that it was almost nervously given. but it was all made as well as some on the hou se fund. The rummage sale was an experience and a big step in figures The ca rd party and bakery s:de repeated at the Art Institute found every table taken and more calls than could be satisfied "at the bakery counter. Valelltine decorlltions were used and made gayer by the fancy covered boxes. Try mem yourselves, old candy boxes, fresh scraps o f wall paper, and th e best of pute lend themselves to '9ttractive combinatio ns. These boxu filled with homemade candy were lold during the afternoon by actives in black dresses and little white apronl. The baskets from the Settlement School sold well, espec ially the favorites, the markets, fruits, and little wall pockets. The present selling campaign of the club is for the house fund-a good per cen t we get on Kol.tlx. Next fall we plarll to have a big bazaar tao many Christmas sales !lre on the way; many summer plans are connected with this sale.
'Ve have had several brides this year, and sh owe rs have been given for them. Florence Burner Metzler, Fran ces Chenoweth Cannon, and Edna Rybolt Bopp. Sometimes the active chapte r and the alumna: join in these showers after a cooky-shine at the house. Mrs. Laurence was here for her annual call; it is a pleasure to have her from the larger cooky-shine a.sstmbliel to the smaller group meetings.

The chapte r regrets the loss during the year of Eleanor Boyd, of Jewel1 Harris Hayes, of the husband of W inifred Lee Morehead of the mother of Marie Scott Camp, and of the mot h er of Pearl Tippett Mattes.
For Founders' Day the alumna: entertained the actives with a Saturday noon luncheon at the Yellow Lantern, Millikin's new inn After this th e talent of the club g ave a dramatic production at the chapter h ouse a block away. Seventy-five Pi Phis joined in the peals of l aughte r and "hrieks of surprise during such scenes as that of the h airy villain cro u ching n ear the fair heroine of the l o ng sha,,;ng c urled tresses--but you will probably see this on Broadway, 50 I won't give it all away.

Until Lelah-Bell Davis, alumnre vice·president of Epsilon Province, talked to members of the Fox River Va.lIey associ:ltion l ast August the indications wer e that the club would disband. It seemed almost impossible for us to cover a distance of twenty-five miles 10 h old the requ ired numb er of meetings and since Chicago wns Quit e accessible to a.ll of us it appeared more fe asib le to join that club. Arte r the intensely interesting talk by Mi s.s Davis supplemented with some good sound advice there wa s no doubt in ou r minds as to what course to follow The Fox Rive r Valley Alumnre association must contin ue; we must carryon the work which had been star t ed in 1917.
Thus it was, that at th e meeting in August, held in Aurora, it was decided to hold two joint meetings a year with intervening meetings held sepa r ately in the two t owns--Auro rR '8.nd ElgilJ
The Fox River Valley association has bet n very enthusi3.!lkc over the Settlement School this year. A quota amount ing to five dollars per person was r aised and sent to the school in the spring. The Elgin b r anch raised a small amount of its fund by c:ltering at a Panhellenic lun ch eo n. The club has an allotment of baskets which were made at the School and h opes through the sale of them to increase the dub's tr eas ury as well as to aid the School.
Founders' Day was crlebrated by the two branches sepa rately. Founders' Day ' greetings were read as were reports r e lating to the Settlement Schoo l and to fraternity work in general.
The Elgin branch has been having genuine n *' cooky·shines. once a month. This informal manner of meeting has brought us into closer tou ch with each other, and has served in a remarkable way to r evive our interest in the fraternity.

This month marks the close of the first year of the Milwaukee Qub. O n t he thi r d Saturday of each month we have had a luncheo n at t h e Coll ege W omen's Club. followed by the regular business meeting. One afte rnoon we played bridge for the benefit of the Settlement School. Fo r a t i me we held meetings on the first Thursday of Lhe mont h , for the benefit of those who could not come on Saturdays, but the attendance was so small that we discontin ut:d them.
There are several small "P i Phis" who have prevented their mothers from regula r attendance at the luncheo ns, but many of them have been able to come in fo r the meetings late in the afte r noon.
We have an enthusiastic group and hope next year that we shall be able to do some serious work . Owing to our late start this year our efforts were directed toward getting a good membership and t oward raising money for the Settlement Schoo l fund. We were glad that we were able to do a wee bit towards h elping Wisconsin A in refurnishing their house.
We celebrated Founders' Day on April 29, with a lun che on at the Hote l Medford and to our delight there were twenty-six present. Mrs. Tlmnahill was o ur honor guest and the speaker of the day, and it WltS a great pleasure to us to meet her and to hear her inspiring me ssage. During the luncheon we played the new IT record and sang IT songs, and after the dessert, one of o u r members, Mrs Galagher, who has a l ovely voice, gave a delightful program of songs. Then came Mrs. Tannahill's interesting talk, and after a brief business meeting for the election of office rs, we concluded our 6rst ce l eb r ation of Fo u nders' Day by singing the IT anthem.
W e we r e planni n g t o give a pa r ty for the active girls and the p l edges living in the city, but we decided that it wou l d be more acceptable i f it we r e given in September just befo r e they return to colle&e. Best wishes to 9.11 Pi Phis. EUANOIl J UST KINSEY.

nesota Alpha, as our Province Pruident and her account of the convention made us 811 wish that we had been at Charlevoix.
Doring the year, the alumnre dub entertained the active chapter seversi times and in this way we became Quite well :lcquainted our younger sisters. A ru shing tea, a Christmas tret: party in December at which we gave the chapter some linen for the house, the supper aftn initiation, when a delighted evening was spent with our new IT pledges, and a St. Patrick's basket lunch; these were the times at which our club entertained the active chapte r. Just before New Year's, the active girls joined with the alumna: in a holiday luncheon at the Belmont H otel. ;
April 27. was the evening chosen to celebrate F ounders' nay and it. indeed, was a celebration when actives and joined in a most s u ccessful banquet at the Radisson Hotel. Our toastmistreu, Mrs. Clarence F. C lark, carried out a most interesting program of toast s with nursey rhymes as topics These rhymes were familiar to many of our number, as we have welcomed many little Pi Phis and some little baby beys within the last few years.
From our Christmas bauar and the sale of Mrs. Gutgesell's Christmas cards, we raised considerable money. -a part of which was placed in ou r Settlemcnt School fund and the rest went toward our house fund. Until our house is free from debt, we must divide between it and the Settlement School. Through the efficient management of Mrs. Milton E. Guttersen the indebtedness on the house has been rapidly diminished Rnd we are happily looking forward to the day when we can call the house our own. Then we shall be able to give more abundantly to the Settlement School, of which we are all so proud.
We felt very fortunate in obtaining Miss Jane Ad dams of Hull Hou se, C hicago, for an evening lec ture in February She told us many interesting things about u public Opinion in Europe in 1921." As she had recently re· turned from overseas, she gave us a very intimate glimpse of conditions there. The purpose- of this lect ure was to add to our Settlement School fund.
The last business meeting of the year was at the home of Mrs. John S. Nichols at which the new office rs were elected and tentative plans for the com· ing year were discussed. \ Ve adopted a new system of transacting bu!oiness; an executive committee composed of the officers of the club and the chairmen of the various standing committees will mett monthly and transact the business of the club, llndr reports will be given by this committee I\t each of the large business meetings . Our new president, Isabel Mc Laughlin has many splendid ideas for the comi ng year on which her executive committee is werking.
Mothers of Pi Phis have organized into a club and have '8.S their purpose the desire to with and assist the girls whenev er possible. They will be happy to have many more mothers join them; information concerning their meetings may be obtained by calling the chapter house The club is very glad that this club has been formed and feelS! that the benefits of such a group will be valuable both to' the active chapter and to the alumni!! club.
Our club is anxious to ha.ve a much larger member s hip list during the coming year and skall be glad to welcome any Pi Phis {rom other chs.pters who are in this vicinity, to join with us and make the year 19:Z:Z-23 one full of s u ccess .

During the fourth year of our existence we have done nothing t o make money for the Settlement School, as we have enough left in our treasury for our "yearly quota." We had so many good times. however, that we inspired the Springfield Kappas to organiz.e.

a bridge-luncheon at Iowa, 1I musical to which each member brought two guests, and a baby party. All of these were successful affairs.
Though tbe club took some put in scholarship cup donation. and Fellowship funds. it put {orlh the greater part of it. efforts o n projects for Settlement School benefit. Under the leadership. and largely through the energetic uample, oC Mrs. Ella Cummins Crefe the club was able to make a contribution of $150 to the Settlement School. Twice this year we were visited by Mrs. Anna Wright Dowell who helped us centcr cur interest on the nurse's needs to the end that we sent boxes of hospital linen, baby clothes, and toys, and nre now planning to purchase a dental chair. Tow3rd this we have now about $:150 in our Settlement School fnnd. We {eel a greater interest when we ne able to contribute those: things which will be: of immediate usefulness 3' well as our allotment of cold cash.
Our caloh contribution was raised by many methods. The largest amount made through one enterprise was $145.J6 from a sale of jasmine at the Memorial Day s.uson at the suggestion of Mrs. Charles Henshaw. \Ve are planning now to make this sale an annual affair. The I«ond amount was $100 from our Christm!lS bazaar under the chairmanship of Mrs. Grefe. We found again that the food table was the best money-maker. In addition, Mrs. Gr,.(e had charge of the sale of aluminum, stainless paring knives, Christmas cards, and tufted bed quilts, nnd Mrs. lIowe, of Settlement School baskets. On .n of thele we made a per r.ent. Since the money from these various sales was coming in at all times we felt it wise to elect a treasurer for our Settlemell1 School fund. This burden was thrust upon Mrs. Jamts Jlowe. That our contribution$ may not depend wholly on chance or the energy of our chairman and treasurer, each active member pays a yearly pledge of one dollar or more.
A summary of the year's meetings shows:
Th",-e social a rushing luncheon at the 11 yperion Field and Motor Club; a muskal at the home of Mrs. Hugo Schnabel; a baby party at the home of Mrs. DeWitt Jones.

The Indianola Alumn8e Club has held eleven meetings the past year, beginning in September with a most interesting report of the convention by Mrs. Sa.ra Sigler and Misl Harriet Goodsell. and concluded June 4 with the breakfast, at which we entertained the active chapter and all visiting Pi Phis. Eight of these meetings have been one o'clock luncheons, with four girls from the active, chapte r in attendance. They give a report of what the active chapter has been doing each month. The luncheon fee is turned ove r to the Settlement Sc h oo l treasurer. At these meetings wo have had reviews of the ARROW. One meeting was given over to the Settlement School, another t o the study of the constitution, and a t another meeting Miss Woodward, the county Red Cross nurse spoke on vital health problems. Founders' Day was ce l ebrated at the chapte r house with a dinner and stunt program by the girh.
The two most important objectives h ave been the Sett l ement School and ou r active chapter. In, December, we held a sale of doll clothes, baskets from the Settlement School and winter bouquets. In the morning the little n 4» daughters invited their small friends to see the doll clo thes. Refreshments were served. The children had a most delightful party and left with small gifts for tht:ir dollies.
The sale of Christmas cards also h el ped the fund so that we were very happy to be able to send $250 to the Settlemen t SchooL Our Provin ce Pr esident. Miss. Olive Hawkins was with us at this time.

The Springfield Alumn:e Club mttting. have been held on the first Friday of every month, at the homes of the various members, following an excellenl program worked out by our program committee. The meetings have been instructive as well as entertaining.
We celebrated Founders' Day, on April 29, with the acth'e chapttr of Drury College, with a formal banquet at the Chamber of Commerce banquet h311. We always look forward to Founders' Day as our regular social funClion in which we are joined by the active chapter. The alumnae club also gave a tea in the early spring in henor of the Drury chapter 3lld patronesses at the beautiful home of Mrs. T. T. Umbarger, one of our most active patrone ••e •
Besides the regular contribution made tbe Settlement School by selling Ch ri stmas cards :lnd baskets and hand·woven linens from tho "LitUe Pigeon," we gave a very s u cceuful auction bridge at the Chamber of Commerce for the benefit of the Settlement School. At the affair, which was both a financial and social success, we were assisted by members of th e active chapter of Drury and our patronesses. We netted $75, which was added to our fund for the Settltoment School.
For Jocal charity work this year ou r members made thirty ·six complete layettes for A "Loan Chest" directed by the Greene County HeaJth Auoci· ation . \V e were assisted in this work by Mrs. Arch McGregor one of our patronesse.. The material was furnished by Mrs. McGregor.

The Denver Alumnre Club in May co mpleted a most happy year, happy at least for those who attended the meetings. \Ve are sorry thal such a large number af our resident Pi Phis are not in regular attendan ce, because there is no daubt that they are all missing much. We are haping, however, far a great revival of interest in the coming year as preparations pragress for the conventian.
As during the 1921-22 SU50D, mee tings were held in cannection with luncheons snd teas in II .,. homes.

1n April the club w as asked to assist the Colorado B chapter in raising funds t o buy furniture which their chapter bungalow sadly needed. It was decided that a. rummage sale w o uld be the simples t means of obtaining the funds to meet that need. All alumnae and (riends were asked to contribute from their attici and the result was all that could have been wished for. We held the sue (or three days and cleared over $175 by selling the tbings (or almall nothing. Those buying were benefited as much as we.

The silver donation for the Settlement School given on that evening amounted to $5 t .65
At the Jast meeting held this spring, Mrs. Mary Allen told us of the II B European trip She was a member of the party that took the trip in 1921. Mrs. Allen's narration of the trip wag made vivid by a gnat number of snapshots and post cards.
This June, for the first time. we entertained with an alumn:r commencement tea at the chapter house. and it seemed to be such a success from every standpoint that we decided to make it a custom. It gives a opportunity for n • alumnae returned for commencement to renew friendships with one another than on the campus.
In a few weeks we will be starting our fall round of meetings and we hope that all our members will enter into them with renewed vigor.

Even th oug h the active membership of Okla h oma City Alumna: Club is not very large, we feel that we have accomplished a good many things worth while n.nd haye completed & slIccessful year'. work.
At the beginning of the year we had some yearbooks printed, that contsined the name s , addresses and tel ephone numbers of the members of the club, date, place of meeting. subject t o be discussed and hos tess for each meeting. We found these little books very helpful in carrying on ou r work and an aid in r eminding each member of the meetings. We met the Friday in each month, at three o'clock. Light refreshments were served at the close of the meeting.
Last June we t oaethe r with the members of Qklllhomll A , gAve a churning rushing party at the home of Mrs. J. C. Leonard. This was a morning party Md, indeed, a delightful affair. \Ve invited mothers as well as daughters, and each went away with words of praise f or II 4'. The house was decorated with a profusion of beautiful Howers and love ly refreshments were served.
Beside the party, we gave to Oklahoma A a cont ributi on of eighty dollars toward a lot fund and three dozen linen table napkins for their chAp ter house.
During the summer, we met in spite of the hot weather and kept up o ur bit of charity work, at the university hospital. Two were s.ppointed t o serve a month at a time, visit ing the hospital once a week 1lDd taking candy and fru it to the children We adopted the child r e n for our charity work. Once during the summer we made a donation of ceveralls and sanda ls , for each child. As a result o f ou r work. our president, Margaret Mc Eldown ey, was appointed on the advisory board of the hospit al.
Latcr in the fa.lI, w e gave a benefit bridge to raise mo ney f o r the Settlement School. Thi s with the sale of some b3skets from the Settlement School, made it possible for us to send away $75.00 to the School.
At Christmas time seve r al of the members met at the home of Mrs. McEldowney and made and filled stockings to be distributed among the patients at the University hospital. Thi s gift, th o ugh sm a ll. was v e ry much app reciated and I am sure helped t o makt: chee r among the patients on Chrisbnas morning. Following the hol idays, there was a bridge party given in the h ome of Mrs . Leslie Wilson for some new members and also in an Attempt to stimulate in tere s t among some of the older members This was 3. very enjoyable affajr and to seve ral members wh o were moth ers of new b:lbies we presented a fork and spoon for the baby. Thi s was a pleasant surprise and helped to create a feeling of good ft:lIowship. This l ittle gift has been adopted by the club as a custom to be followed in the future.
F o und ers' Day banquet h eld at the Skirv in Hotel was a v ery pleasant oceasion. Members from both Oklahoma A :lnd B united with u s in celebrating this day. The progrlUD consisted of voclli sol05, a piano solo, a violin solo. n talk by a member of Oklahoma A and a Itunt by all the members present from Oklahoma B.

The Eugene Alnmnre Club has held its meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at the homes of the various members. Since this has been our first yea r as a chnrtered club, we have been rather. feeling our way and so have not accomplished all that we would hIlve l iked to. Being situated in the same town as Oregon A, we are in a position to see their m:1.ny needs and have endeavored to help them both with gifts for the h o use and ""ith suggestions.
We held a joint meeting with the Ilcti\'e town girls last fall before college opened and conside red ru shing problems and made plans for helping at the house during rush week.
The September meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Datson, where the needs of the house were considered and the club decided to give the girl. a silver te a service at the birthday initiation banquet, October 29.
The October meeting was given over to discussion of club activities for the following month •.
At th e December meeting, the club decided to send a twenty-five pound box of Oregon prunes to the School. A study of the history of Jt B cz, and of the Settlement School occupied the main part of the meeting Oregon A i. planni ng to build Il home in the near future and ot'1 course we a re very much interested in their plans so the January meeting was over to a d i sc uss i on of the house plans and specifications.
\V e h ad the pleasure of having Mrs. Burton Beck , I ota Province Presid ent , at a meeting in February following a luncheon given in her h ono r by our club president, Mrs. Wheeler. She gave us many helpful suggestions as to our a.ctivities as an alumnae club in a college town.

The Pugel Sound ATumnre Club of n B 4» met {or its first meet ing at an informal luncheon nt the Women's University Club on September 7, which served as a "get ·together" and a time for pl:mning the progr:l.m for the coming year. Our me e tings thereafter were held on the first S:J.turday of the month.
We planned this y ear to rail'e money for the active chapter at the Uni· versity of W:lShington. To this end. a d:J.nce for Pi Phis and the i r friend "I was held at th e Women's University Club on October 9 . This ",45 very successful fin:J.ncially, and most enjoyable.
The Settlement School meeting was held at the home of loin. Phillip McBride on November 5 At this meeting, we were very fortunate in having Ruth Sturley, a former teacher at the school, recount some of her experiences and tell us in an informal way of the people and the good work of the Seulement School.
The December and JA-nuary meetings were both cooky-shines ill which the active nnd alumnre Pi Phis joined. Part of the time was devoted to business meetings and study or the constitution, while the rest of the time was spent in visiting with our younge r siste r s.
Mrs. H oward Fletcher, our president, entertained the club on February 4 at her home. There was no definite program, but a delightful afternoon was passed in just getting better acquainted with each other l\'lrs Dyer entertained the club in March at a similiar meeting at her home.
W e celebrated our Founders' Day banquet on April 28 at the Automobile Deniers' Club. The Tacoma Alumna! Club was well represented nnd many Pi Phis from near -by towns came to the banquet, making about 150 in attendance. We were most fortunate in having one of olfr revered founders, In ez Smit h Soule. as our honor guest. .Mrs. Walter Madig:ln (Marion SI>elger, Washington A) hnd chnrge of the arrangements, and Mrs. H arold Burdick (Cornelia Glass, Washington A) staged a little playlet.

The second Saturday of each month finds our club ' assembled at the home of one of (he members for a one o'clock luncheon. which is followed by a business and social meeting.
Since our members are -as varied in interesh as in experience, age, and chapter affiliations, we have many discussions on many subjects, from things fraternal to those local. We have the viewpoint of th e college girl, housewife, club woman, teacher. mother and grandmother.
The one thing that has unified our interests more than any other has been working together to raise funds for our Settlement School. Each of the three years since our organization as an alumna! dub we have been able t o send a check {or $100
This amount we have obtained in various ways, the two bringing in the largest returns being the sale of Mrs. G u tgesell's ChristmA.s cards and our Lenten bridge tea. The l atter was given this year at the Tacoma. Hotel, Ilnd was well attended. The prizes were mountain baskets, a large number of w h ich were disp l ayed and sold, for the}: are very poput:n here. Although we make very littl e p r ofi t in h:Uldling the baskets, we feel that it is werth wh il e doing so beca u se of' t h e interest peop l e take in them. They sef'm' to b r ing t he schoo l nea rer to u s and ou r frie n ds . D uring t h e past yea r we haye bought a b o ut $100 wo r th of baskets f r om Miss Bishop. who , of course, through.lhe sale to us , has realized a profit for the Sc h ool.
W e ha v e had sales at o u r r egu l a r meetings. One day a member appeared with some very attractive lavendar sachets. which she had made from lavendar grown in he r own garden. She told us they were for sale for the benefit of the school and in no time they were gone. At another meeting we r affled a huge, frosted cake. The sale of l>ulbs, dahlias and peonies netted a nice sum for a club member who has lovely plants; and this, too, was donated to our Settlement School Fund. This fund, by the wny, is d e posited in a sa\lings bank and consequently is drawing interest which, th ough but a small amount, helps to swell the totaL when drawn out in January. At each meeting, too, a silver offering is made, consisting of a ten-cent tax per member.
Through the younger members. of the club we keep in t ou ch with the acti\le chapter in Seattle , to whom we sent $10 toward the lot fund.
We ha\le followed the program given in our yearbooks as closely as possible. The September meeting was made especially interesting by Miss Lucia Lay's account of her travels in Hawaii. In January we heard about the convention from Mrs Soule, who s urprised us by her r e turn from the East, where she had been visiting since June.

One special piece of work that the Tucson Club has done this year, hu heen the visiting of the sick. Because of its wonderful climate, many comt: here hea.lth. There is :I. large government hospital here, where both active and alumno:: members have spent many hours entertaining the patients. This year, we have also enjoyed acqu!l.inted with three II 4> girls, and we have tried to make their stay a little less lonely,
At the first meeting. we made rushing plans with the actives. In November, Marjorie Franklin gave her ct>nve:ntion report.
On Christmas, we united with the active chapter in giving a showe r f or the house. Aft e r the shewer, a. delightful buffet supper was suved. We also united with the active c hapter in giving a farewell tea (or Mrs. von Klein· Smid, just before h e r departure for Los Angeles. An othe r time we were the guests of the active chapter at a silver te:1, given for the purchase of a new piano.
Our con tr ibution to the Settlement School was raise d by contributions from the individual members. W e assisted the active chapter in a waffle breakfast, given for the Fellowship Fund and the Settlement School.
In March, the new initiates and pledges of the acti\'e chapter were our guests '3.t a cooky·shine at the home of 1rent: H offmeiste r. This party has become an annual affair, and gives us an opportunity to become acquainted with the girls each year. After the supper, !lh o rt talks were given, and the evening was spent informally
In addition to these social affairs, business meetings have been held. Mrs . ' ''ood's visit showed u s some of the possibilities of the alumn:l! work and we have been trying to carry out some of hH ideas.
Altogether we feel that the past year has been a profib.ble one and we are looking forward to next year with the desire to make it the best possible.

Her w or k in installing and inspecting chapters and in chape roning a c hapter h o use gave her a splendid. perspective of Pi Beta Phi.
Tho fraternity is fortunate, however, in being able to keep Mrs. A lien in active work 3S chairman of transportati on on the convent ion conunittee.
The editor of THE. ARROW wishes to express deep appreciation of the se r vices of Mrs Allen as a member of the s taff. Mrs. Allen will be succeeded as Alumna! Editor hy G e raldin e E . :\ l ars, Iowa Zeta.

Another milestone hits passed, and with it have come more th l\ n the usual number of telegrams, l etters and postc.3rds from dear Pi Deta Phis all o ve r our goodly land, bearing erpressions of love and good wishes for the happie st o f birthdays. The day was made doubly hnppy by the arrival of a box of beautiful carnations with Founders' Day greetings from Pi BetA Phi Frsternity and by the club of Philadelphia. holding their Founders' Oa.y banquet on April 29 my birthday.

It is especially desirou$ that we increase our suhscription list and it seems it cannot be done in any better way than for those who already take the ARROW to persuade those who do not, to subscribe. Then there is another way and that is TO GIVE THE ARROW FOR CHR I STMAS.

REPORT OF ALPHA PROVINCE · PRESIDENT
Alpha Province President submits the following report to grand Council of IT B <1>,
Each chapter in Alpha Provin ce has been visited since January, and it is my belief that the chapters, gener:llly sJ)C'king, are making very definite effort toward improved schobrship and more active support o f the national policies of n , B 4». In pa rti calar, it is a pleasure to re port th at Vermont A has made deeided progress in scholar sh ip, havi ng obtained the cup f or ranking first aJDong both fraternity =.nd non-fraternity groups last semester . In New Y ork r, three of th e six seniors hav e been elected to 4» B K. while Vermont B

has two, and New York C. three similar honors, as well as ont Mortar noard. Ontario A, (where honora.ry fraternities a.re not rec ogni z.ed) has three members with very honorable standin&, and boasts ont of the two representatives Knt by the University of Toronto to the University ot Paris 8.1 exchange studenll. Throughout the main body of the individual chaptets. h o wever. there is uill much to be desired in the way of scholanhip.
It is gratifying to realiz.e with what gene,...t !:tvar the idea was received. of raising ODe dollar for the Stttiement School by each individual member. Three of the cha.pters, however, have launched different schemes. Ontario At by means of team-work "st unts," has raised $50, while Verm on l A has supplemented a benefit "movie" with a sale of candy, and tber eby realized the very creditable total of $96. Maine A has 'nl so arranged for a similar eHnt, which is to take place Ister thi s month.
It is und oubtedly a step forward in the right direction that the chapters of Alpha Province :ne seeking closer relationship with each other through interchange of delegates to their re spective initiations. In this way the York and Vermont chapters hll e :.1.11 vi.itt:d and been visited by each other this year_When this policy becomes more general the re s ult should be a broa.dening iofi uence on the chapte r s concerned, creating a more nati onal point of view, a more fi exible local policy and a keener spirit of competition. ,Vith one exception, Panhellenic conditions have been fairly harmonious throughout the province: but it is most unfortunate to find the A ssoc iations so disinclined to enlarge the ir scope of activity from that of a legislative body for the campaigning season to one having some definite purpose of a const ru ct ive nature. The Panhellenic Associntion at Boston University is the on ly one at present making any conscious effort in this direction. Three monetary prizes are to be awarded for scholarship and I understand the co mpetition is open to non-fraternity well as fraternity members. This is a laudable beginning.
The Pi Phis in Alpha Province are generally prominent in college activities. Special mention is due Vermont B. Dean ,Va sson spoke in glowing terms of the chapter as .. thoroughly dependable body of students, democratic, coope rative, aJways pbcing college in the first place :1nd fraternity in the second. The Pi Phis hold th e presidencies of both Student Union 'and the V e rmonters' Club In Mas sac husetts A, the president of the Y. W. C. A. is a n 4> and at New York r, the president of the "Vornan's F orum and ch3.irman of student government council are Pi Phis. Al pha Province also h olds the presidency of t\\'o l ocal Panhellenics. In addition to these major offices, each chapter has it's own quota of minor honors.
There are three delightful chapter houses and one ap3rtment of five r ooms in Alpha Province. Th ese are the h omes of the New York chapters, and Massac husetts A, re spective ly. The remaining groups, with the exception of Maine A, (where acc;omodation is not available), rer.t att rn ctive r ooms where chapter meetings are held. With r egard to the former, 1 f:el strongly that quiet rules could be observed more strictly in one or two C3ses wiihout proving at all irksome to the resident members: and especially do I recommend the limitation to definite hours of the u se of th e t el ep h one. The constant ringing-in all day long and the resultant disturbance of nnswering arr far from conducive to concentration. I might also add that J reg ret that some of the chapteTS are not more amenable to their respective Advisory Committees. Many unnecessary disappointments and discords, (often fores«n by the calmer. more mature judgment of the graduates), might thus be averted and the energy of the chapler ther eby reserved for the more im portant purpose of working out its own internal development.

T H E ARROW OF PI BETA PH I
As this report leaves my hnnds. my thoughts are filled with happy recolle c ti o ns of my first visits among the chapters of Alpha Province. I have met charming, courteous hostesses everywhere, and frank eagerness for criticism and suggestion alike. I realize my inadequacy for this gTeat service that it has been my privilege to attempt for II B .p. and I appreciate the tangib l e eviden ce of cooperation in the hosh of delightful l ette r s from so many of the members of my chapters. Sure l y, in thus working together, we shall achieve grenter love and enthusiasm for this great fraternity of which we form a pari, and a truer realiu t iOIl of the aspirations and ideals to which tbe little golden arr ow points .

ESSIE S. MCCOR M ICK.
REPORT OF BETA PROVlNCE PRESIDENT
The average membership of eac h chapter was twenty·five, the largest chapter. West Virginia A. had thirty-one and the smallest, Pennsylvania .1. , ten. General condi ti olls in tbe province have been very good. Some unusual situations have arisen due to local problems but the year ended with a clean slate and much enthusiasm to make next year better than ever, profiting by our mistakes and difficulties of this year. The weekly reports of chapter meetings in a letter from different members in the chapter h :lVe been very helpful in keeping in intimate tou c h with the immediate chapter problems.
Official visits have been made to three of the seven chapters in the province. Pennsylvania B in January, Penn s ylvania r and West' Virginia A in April. These trips were delightful and h e lpful in bringing the chapters into a closer relationship so that problems are more easily worked out. Thr oughout the year there has been a three-fold purpose toward which we ha.ve worked: first. the need in chapter progress of a real assOciation between the a l umnre a..dvisory board Rnd the active group; the cultivati on of interdependence that will be helpful in solving questions and developing such cooperation th:lt the active girls will be willing to accept hel p, and the alumnre willing to give help; second, the need of high scholarship; and third, the need of trying to realize the national spirit and organization of our fraternity. With reference to the first mentioned it will be well to not e the work of the Lancaste r Alumnae: Club. Their interest in Pennsylvania r nnd Pennsylvania B chapters has been of great benefit and the recent organization of a club in Morgantown , West Virginia, will be of much help to West Virginia A. .
The scholarship r eco rd is one that can be improved upon '!lnd some chapters have adopted very cefinite means of T:lising the standards Ohio B is the banner chapter in the province holding first pl ac e in the schol2nhip ranking at Ohio State University, and comequently re ceiving P :mh e llenic scholarship cup. Awards of B K have been made to five, and Mortar Board to four Pi Phis in the province , with some chapters unable to make a report on this due to a late announ cement of honors.
The n4tional viewpoint is hard to realize in many chapters on account of their geograprucal location and consequ e nt isolation and the ideal of bringing the province together as a whole is as yet unrealil:ed. Some pr ogress has been made however when two chapte rs have a joint meeting, su c h as Pennsylvania B and Pennsylvania r hel d at the Lancaster Alumnx Club meeting this spring in Harrisburg. And we Ilre anticipating the province house-party al Mount Gretna this June. Th e re w e plan to arrar..ge a general program f o r the next year and have an interchange o f ide as and di sc u s sion of problems.
Looking forward 10 a greater realization o f o ur i d eals than ever before and to Ihe closer relation ship of Beta Provin c e we submit this report. DOROTHY W ooDWARO.

REPORT OF GAMMA PRESIDENT
The Gamma Province President begs t o submit the following report for the year, '921 ·22.
The two Virginia ch.a.pters, and the Florida chapters have been visited during the ye!lr, 19:u -2:Z. I regret vcry much my inability to make all my visits, but I W!Ui unable to take more than two trips this year, -::tnd can never be away morc than a. few d.1Ys at one time .
Columbia A has a chaptu of twenty. having pledged ten girls in the fan without losing a bid. The most disturbing si tu ation at George W ashingto n is that of Panhellenic conditions. for the fraternities cannot 3gree upon a pledge day. This year they settled upon matriculation day but suersl fraternities, including IT "'. posted notices th!l.t they would not pledge until October 4 Next year they hope to bring about a better agreement with later pledge day. The scholarship of Columbia A is S3.tisfactory and Ih ey hold their usual place in college activities. having presented no diRlculLies to me this year. The joint Founders' Day banquet with Maryland A is to be held in Washington and they are planning a I:trge alTair with an attractive toast scheme.
Maryland has nol been visited this year, so my report cannot be as full as I would wi sh it to be. The chapter is large, thirty-two at the present time, and being scattered o\'er several dormitories, ha s no intimate chapter life. This year, however, has seen an increase in fraternily interest and national responsibility, a more regul ar attendance at chapte r meetings, and better sc h o larship. The chapler had a huge reunion in the fall of this year, which brought back lJuny alumnre and gave a new impetus to the chapter.

Epsilon Pr o vin ce President submits the following repor t to the Gnmcl Co uncil of n B .,.:
Each chapter in the province has been visited during the college year . t regret very much that I could not visit Illin ois A. B, H, and Z until this spring. I that chapter visits s h o ul d be made early in the yea r , in order to get the groups started right.
Epsilon Province has hnd n p r oblem with its fre s hmnn scholarship . It seems to be the case in p ractically every chapter One chapter wns only able to initiate five out of seventeen pledges. The snme condi tion seemed to exist in other fraternit ies in that co llege. I am inclined to feel that this condition is due to the stiffening of work in every institution, in order to Jessen the enrollment. Clllsses are overcrowded and colleges are trying to weed out as many as possible. Of course, there are the usual number of two or th r ee upper class girls who do not realb:e their individua l re spo nsi · bility and as a r esult have lowered their chapter scholarship. I feel sure that if each chapter that strong sc h ol:us hip is our st rongest argument agai nst anti-fraternity feeling that they w o uld II. supreme effort t o raise their record. I am still h opi ng that when the reco rds come out that Epsilon Province will not he too far down the list. Pan hellenic conditions fairly good in the province. 1 (eel that the membership campaigning in most colleges is fa r too extravagant Rnd T wish that National Pan hellenic were able to expenses This, of course, sounds impossible, but tr u ly the situation seems serious to me
I was more than pleased to find every Advisory Board work ing in cbse cooperation with the chapters. This was not true two years ago.
Some o( the ch!lpters have tried to g o thr ough the yenr with only one initiation. It ha ! not alway s been possible but it seems to me Ihal initiation would mean just that mu ch mQ,re if the number were limited. Then , too, it is an expense and a tax on the energy of the girls.
Aside (rom scholarship I found conditions in splendid shape throughout the province. Every chapter was working in perfect cooperation and unity. Chapter cliques and factions seemed to have vani shed and true n .,. spirit was prevalent everywhere. I had nothing but favorable reports from every Dean of ' Vomen and 1 think the deserve a great deal of credit for what they have done

I was dreading in a way taking u p this work because of the hu e and c ry heard from aU sides the younger generation. I felt my lack of experience and ina.biLity to copt with such problems. Since I felt so strongly, I went prepared (or anything and found-nothing, at least, of the kind I had been led to expect I woo.ld find. In stead, the girls as a whole me as ured up 10 a high s tandar d of yo un g womanhood .

Their ideals are just as high and their desire (or the good things just as keen as young people'5 ever werc.

The p r ovince is going to try this year t o ca rr y through th e p l an of Mrs . Brooks and have a house·party, probably In Estes Puk. Everywhere I found the girls most enthusiastic and I am ,'ery anxious th at our plans can be made successful.

All of the c hapters have a membership between twenty · three and thirty·six. The large s t chapt er has been trying to become smaller and was very s u ccess ful thi s year Th e girls there have real ized h ow true it is that smalle r chapters are more intimate and helpful.

But fortunate they are because it is most attractive even though it is in a basement in the home of onc of the girl s It is just across from the camp us and a contin ual so ur ce of envy to every other frat ernity girl. This is the first time in thr ee years that Louisiana A h as been permitted to have a gath e ring place. The anti -f raternity :t.gitation is more q u iet than in the past four years. We are in hopes that the smouldering fire shall hav e been extinguished during thi s c urrent year. Texas B may have its own home in the "by and by " The un ive r sity promise the frat e rni ties a lot f o r the grand sum of onc dotlar, with a ninety -yea r l east, subject 10 ren ewal, so the outloolc is not so bad.
In colleg e activities, I believe n 4> will run a close race with any othe r fraternity in this province: We have o ne Pan helle nic president, two Women 's Student Body p relidents magazine editors, debaters, a Y. W. C. A. president. and m any ca binet officers, to say nothing of l oca l club presidents and officers.
In addition to ca rry ing away st udent ac ti vity h o non, we a r e ta king- tht!m in sc holarship. I do not know of a single case wh erein there hIlLS n o t been improvement in scholarship so far , this year. At this time Louisiana A is standing about thir d on the camp us, Texas B and Arkansas A about seco n d. Oklah oma A has shown much improvement since Christmas. Texas A w on fifty dollars and the sc h olar s hip cup l as t fall. for the year 19zo-:ar. She is fighting again for first place. The chapte r I am extremely proud of is Oklahoma B For the first term there was neither a conditio n nor a failure (or thirty girls. inc lu ding pledges. and very few marks in the seventies. Her e's a warning to all Theta Province: if you don't wat ch o ut , o ur baby chap ter (in this province) will be holding first place in its short three years of existence_ .
The motto of Thet a Pr ovi n ce is: "100% Cooperation." I b eli eve we come very near to "prac ticing what we preach." Every chapter this year, I think, will contribute t o the Se ttlem ent School, the Fellow ship fund and tbe Loan fund.
All of the chapters are interested in some kind of altruistic work. This outside inte rest is proving a great benefit to the girls.
Democracy o n the campus is bein g emphasited by each grou.p. have found the c hapters most cordial t o n on- fraternity as well as frat e rni ty girls. This is to me, a sign of breaking down the old and will ca rry With it anti-fraternity sentiment.
The spirit of nationlliitation is more evident ·in my chapters than heretofore. This, no doubt, is due to the mthusiasm of the returning convention ' delegates, and this goes to prove the true value of conve ntions. Preparations were being made for a province conventio n in Dallas this June. To our great disappointment. financial conditio ns w ere s u c h that there had to be an indefinite postponemen t.
It was my privilege and joy to mett with many of the alumna: d ub s while visiting the active chapters. The attitude of the advisory committees is much improved. Every where I find them very acti ve and vitally interested, working hand in hand with the girls.
Texas B, Tex as A., and ArkansBS A., have been most fortunate in having a visit from our Grand Pr esident this spring. These c hapters. I am s ure. received great inspiration and a r ea l benefit (rom her visit.

REPORT OF IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
Iota Pro\ in c e President submits the foll o..... ing r epo rt 10 the Grand Coun c il of IT B •.
All chapters in Iota Province have !>ten visited officially this year. It has been my good fortune also to visit two chaplers informally, The genuine hospitality extended by my chapteTS has been much appreciated.
Condilions which have made college life so diffi c ult for several years, seem to be more normal this year, though the congestion in class room. is still too great to be condu cive to thi' be st work. Scholarship improved in the fall Quartet but an epidemic of influen:r;a had an adverse effect on the grad e s for the winter quarter. It is (00 early in the s pring C"fuarter to ( a re · cast. However all chapters are proud o( the (act that Iota Province was second in scholarship in the (raternity, when the report o( the committee was made at convention, and they wish to hold that honorable place it they can not obtain first place.
The very short period allowed (or membership campaigning makes Ii(e wretched (or (raternit>· girls and (or bewildered (reshmen. It is not to be wondered at i ( some mistakes occur under such ''hectic'' circumstances. I intend to urge my chapters 10 stand for a lillie longer season-at least two weeks-and simple parties. In one college where the season has not been so short, and where Pi Phis h3ve considered an invitation to become a member An honor-pledged (reshmen st:1ted that the particul:t.r things which attracted them to the chapter were the true hospitality, which made them feel that they would be at home with the 2'irls, and the admiration of the members for their fraternity which did not permit them to make it too easy of attainment
Panhellenic conditions are better than last year. Tn two instances where n B cha,plers were penalized, the members accepted the penalties exacted with the proper attitude And won the admiration of the Deans of \Vomen Rnd members of other fraternities. In two colleges many of the petty rules are to be eliminated by PanhelJenic.
\Vashinglon A has been working ha.rd to improve scholarship, And made a good record (or the fall qU9.Tter A number of individu:1I averllgcs dropped lower for the winter The chapter hopes to be neArer the top in the university than for several years. A number of girls are prominent in activities, and several coveted honors have been won by them, one outstanding is the junior representati,,' e on the Board of Control. A played the lead in UTaming of the Shrew." The chapter has had difficult problems to (ace this year, but I am confident that Washington A will come through her troubles a stronger and finer chapter. A new house is one of the special needs of the chapter, but it is not possible to build at this tfme. Last June when college closed. a heavy debt hung over the chapter but most of it has been paid . Several transfers have affiliated with the chapter and the relations have been very pleasant. Seattle covers a large area, and it is difficult for the town girls to spend as much time at the house as is possible in the usual college town. The advisory bollrd is active and ready to extend he l p to the chapter at all times. The club in Seattle is strong, and many gudous things are done (or \ Vashington A.

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
chapter is loyalty, to college, fraternity, and to chapter. The happiest houri are those spent in " sings" around the fire. By inquiry I have learned that the tenderest memories of absent members and of graduates are of those same "sings ." They are frequent occurrences in the chapter, and in the years to come Washington Be tns will c herish them, as deartst traditions. 1t has become almost a hobby with me to judge a chapter by its ability to sing, with joy and enthu siasm. the songs of fraternity and college. In a singing chapter 1 always find cooperation and real sisterhood. I have stated before in these pages that this chapter is noted (or hospitality. The (ac uity members are delighted wh en invited to the house. Mrs. Monroe. who has been house mother for e ight yea.rs has helped to create this atmosphere. The chapter does not lead aU the fraternities on the campus in scholarship as it did two years since. but it is earnestly working toward that goal. The chapter house is far from ade qu3te in every way. The dearest wish of the chapter is to build a fine h ome on the property it has owned for lome years, and the wish may come frue soon. \Vashington B stands high on the campus, there is n one better. La st year the chapter had sedoQ.s problems, faced them bravely and developed strength and stability. Pullman is distant from colleges where II B cJI is located but this chapter has an understanding of the national frat ernity. II is well represented in activities. The fresh · men are well trained Bnd will be ready to accept their responsibil:ties Oregon A has a well organhed group of congenial girls. The chapter is commended for its dependability by the college authorities. The girls Ilre democratic, considerate and wholesome. The standing of n B is not excelled by any other fraternity with the exc eption of two with higher scholarship averages These two are not on a par with II n <I> otherwise. Oregon A has raised h e r scholarship from ninth place to third, and expects to maintain that average or better it, this quarter. Members are well represented in activities The vi ce-president and t.reasurer of women ' s league are Pi Phis. The presidency of the glee club this vear was held by a II who was also a M E, and the acc ompanist belonged to both fraternities. Freshmen have not been particularly prominent in activities. Oregon A plans to build a new h o me this s ummer on her beautiful lots wh'ich face the campus. The girls h ave hee n patie n t unde r trying conditions. It has been necessary to rent an annex for some years, though.all menls have been taken at the house Pan he ll enic conditions have improved materia ll y Mrs Benson is again house mother and is Q true n at heart though she does not wear the arrow. Much of th,. rr,.rlit for Oregon Alpha's standing is due to her guidance. Oregon A and Oregon B have very friendly relations. The co tlegts are not far apart and each chaoter always invites two or more guests from the othe r , for initiations and formals. This inler chanlZe creates a sisterly attitude. A new alumniif' club has been o rganized in Eugene, and has h3d a su ccessful year. It h:ls helped the chaDter in many wavs . 'Ve thank Eugene Alumn::e Club for ils interest and cooperati bn. The advi s ory board members who live in Portland have shown keen interest in the chapter. Oregon B was forced to campaign under diffi c ult circumstan ces in the fall. The chapter had purchased a house and the carpenters and painters were working, making alterations_ Nevertheless the girls entertained in their own home. and pledged some fine freshmen. They have been forlunate this year in obtaining a teal house mother who has a vital interest in the chapter. Mrs. Squier expec ts to return next yenr. Thus one of the great need. of the chapter has been supplied. Early in the year the organization was loose and cooperation was lacking. This co ndition has improved very decidedly. The girls are endeavoring to raise their scholarship by carefully supervised study. The advisory board members live in Portland with two exceptions, and it is diffi c ult to assist the ch:t pte r fr o m su ch a ctistance. but tw o Portl:lnd members have visited Ongon B thi'!i y("ar, and the member living in Corvalli s R e ad P a ge 3 8-0rder Ma g u ine Su bsc ri ptio n s Th r oug!l Our Agenc y

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
Membership campaigning bas been very successful in the province this year with very few bids l ost -and a fine type of fre s hman won. Th e small class tak en by Calfornia. A w:\s due to lack of material in the freshman class. resulting in the same few freshmen being ru shed by the ten fraternities. The greatest problem of the yea.r in the province has result ed {rom the short campaigning season, which four of our five chapters have. Th ese four chapters have had r eal difficulty with pledge s. due to the fact that they did not have lime really to know th e girls befurt ple<\ging them. The only way for this condition to be remedied is f o r the chapten to work f o r the semester or year membership campaigning seaso n so that th ey can avoid bringing criticism on their chapters and ' unhappiness to pledges later when th ey find out that winning the most "cllmpaigned" freshman did not mean getting (he best freshman. No strong chapter ever needs to (ear (or success in the long season as the chapters place in college regard. its standing in college activities and scholarship bring success or (ailure. The known (aults o( continued -and prolonged camp aignin g can be avoided while our province problems this yea r are ample p r oof that we ca nnot \ avoid broken pledges and delayed initiations because o( scholarship it we cannot have more thSD a week or so t o pick our freshmen
I n three of the universities visited the local P:lnhellenics are very inactive and sum ' to have little organiZ3t:,ion or realiuton of their re s ponsibilities. California r has h'ld no s u pport from P :lnhell en ic in trying to improve campaignin, co nditi o ns and Arizona A worked almost alone . The Alumn a! Panhell enic at Stanford' Univers ity acting with and advising the college Panhellenic is of great assistance in reaching fair and unbiased decisions. I wi sh that n 9 Alumn a:: w ould take the lead in organizing similar bodies to help develop the weaker Panhellenics.
The chapters have all made good records in campus activities and there seems to be a general understanding of the necessity of making each II n "fo chapter one o n wh om the university authorities feel they can depend.
Scholarship reports should show real improvement this year. I have emphasized it as u s u a l on my visits and have tried to explain fully the new plan for r9.11king. I t has had rut effect to point ou t that to rank first in t he frat e rnity is now within the power o( each chapter, however low its present stnnding. Arizona Alpha would have placed first had the new ranking been used last year . The chapter came up f r om (o r ty ·second place to sixteenth. Special emphasis was also placed on the repo r ts of the committee on Efficiency and Stallllal Jiz at i on. I ,;:mted to sh ow the ChAp,,.n that it is n o w possible to have a.n accurate check on each one of them and that to win the Bal four Cup should be their chief aim.
H ouse problems hsve wrought impo rtant changes for some of o ur chapters. Last reports we re that California r has decided to buy the h o use they have been renting (o r so long. Its l ocation to the university is sp l endid and it h a.s the added advantage now of being across the street from the home of President and Mrs. Von Kl ein sm id. Nevada A is still without a house but very anxious to h!lve one for next year. .d d.6 was the first woman's fraternity to obtain a bouse at Nevada. Californi!1 B sold its former house and purchased another larger nnd more beautif ul home. Arizon:L A rents her chapter house '!lnd Ca1i(ornia A owns h er own home.
The advisory boards have nil made progress during the year. There nre now five working boards while only (wo were actively o rganized last ycar. In a province such as this with th e distances 10 gre at, the. advisory bollrds are indisptnsible. In three chapters the relations with the boards are excellent while two chapters seem (0 fail to understand that the real function of the board is to give assistance to the chapte r and that it csnnot! do so unlesa (ully consulted.

REPORT OF ALPHA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT
Alpha Province Vice·president begs to submit the follow ing report : There ue ten clubs in the province, varying in size from a. membership uf ten to the New York club, which has just passed its gOAl of two hundred "paid-upll members. The total number of members of clubs at the dste of this re port (April 10) is 407, (including 75 new members of the New York Club, whose dues are not yet received). Surely, a great many more Pi Phil than this number attend occasional meetings, at least, and it would be of gnat benefit for clubs to devise some means of collecting dues from thes e members; prob3.bly a great many alumn:l! do not, as a matter of fact realize their duty in this respect, and if they understood clearly that fifty cents of their club dues goes directly to the national treasury, they would make more of an effort to pay this amount. It would be well, for all club tres.surers to try especially next year to stress this point.
The re sponse to the Settlement School from Alpha Province has most gratifying, both as an indication of th e abiding interest maintained in the School, and of the flourishing state of the clubs themselves. To date all except one club have sent in their subscriptions, snd the re port from the r emaining one is expected s hortly. The gift of the Buffalo Club of fifteen members is especially notew orthy; this club hn.s sent in $100.00, earned by the sale of Christmas cards and by the proceeds of a gift shop open'ed in the home of one of the members. The New York Club has sent $1,800.88. But every club, large and sma ll, has done its shar e.
Early in the year, two of th e clubs-Toronto and New Y o rk had the good fortune of a visit fr om Dr. Matzke who presented the Heahh Program Unfort u nately, it was impossible to arrange matters so that the entire province could enjoy this opportunity, although every effort w as made to do so.
The question of a standing committee in each club to recommend suitable college freshmen to the chapters was discl1ssed with the clubs. One dub bas designated its advisory committee to ad in this capacity, and another hu appointed such a committee. A number of th e 5m3-lIer clubs felt t hat th ey had been acting rsther as a "committee of the whole" in this respect, but were quite willing to appoint such a committee if necessary .
The plan of celeb r ating Found ers' Day where there are severst Pi Phis b ut no club, h as not , unfortunately, been given due attention in Alpha Province this year seven.1 Albany Pi Phi. and about five in Rhode Island who may be able to arrange such s celebration.
M iss Cleaveland reports a one hun dred percent response to the Fellowship Fund fo r the province.
The round robin, started l ast yea r by Miss AUyn, ha s been con t in u ed, Lut has not yet finished its first journey.

In general, work with the Alpha Province clubs has been most stimulating and inspiring. Each club has cooper!lted splendidly with the province officer, and h as responded at once to suggestions anet inquiries. The present Province Vice-president feels, however. that this spirit on the pa rt of the c lubs is dnt in great measure to the conscientious work of J ennie Allyn, her predecesso r, and she takes th is opportunity to express her gratitude for the assistance Miss Allyn hal cheerfully r endered in all difficulties.

REPORT OF BETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT
Beta Province Vice-president submits th e fo ll owing report:
During the put year Beta Province h as had thirteen clubs, the newest being at Morgantown, W. Va., which was cha rt ered in March. The membersh ip in th ese clubs is not a$ large 35 last year, however. PerhRps more dues will come in later but at the present time there '3re only 336 paid members and lAiI year there were mo re than 400. I dOll't believe that the clubs are really any IImaJler but I think ill some cases, the treasbrers have been carel'!ss about trying to get all dues in.
Settlement School gifts are still increasing and the enth u siasm and interest in the School is shown in the club programs . Special credit is due the Cleveland Club again (or their splendid gift of $1,800, and to Philadelphia for $ 1,092. Most c lu bs are selling the Christmas cards. The lotal for the province this year is $3,580 with p r omises of $427 mo r e , which has not yet heen received, o r $4,000 altogether. Central Pennsylvsnia has not s ent any con tribu tion o r promised any but they a r e a young club and ha\'e Pennsylvania B. However I hope by anothe r year, they enn divide thdr efforts witH the Setdement Schoo l
Correspondence has been carried on regu1.:trly with some clubs and very satisfactory reports ha\'e come. With the exception of the Philadelphia Club , the interes t in alumnlt work of the clubs which are not near an ' active chapter seems greater than the clubs which have a chapter near.
Morgantown is too new to j u dge and seems t o h ave made an excellent s!:trt.
Akr on , C leve l and , Lancaste r , Bnd Toledo Bre prosperous Bnd enthusiastic dubs and have no chapter near. Toledo's con tr ibution t o th e Settlemen t Sc h oo l was $200 ( ra ised by a rummage sale), which was a large ir.cre:lse over that o f las t year. Lancaster is in a very flourishing condition and s«ms well established They :tRain are inviting the Pi Phis o( Central Pennsylv:lJlia to a Founders' day lu ncheon in H a r risburg. All these clubs also contributed to the Fellowship Fund
Ohio l' Club is planning for a big meeting in Ju ne. They have thirty members which is very good since many belong to other clubs, too . Philadelphia has had se\Teral interesting programs. They doubled their Settlement School cont ri bution of last year and me keeping two French orphans. and three American orphans, which means a year.
I would like to see more of the clubs visited by a fraternity officer so that many of them may have a personal visit from those of the (nternity who may be able to guide and t o offer helpful sugges tions. Somdimes we may misjudge the interest ana work of a whole club through one offict'r who does not perform her duties well.

The latter h.a s tuen the name of the Fannie Whitenack Libby Club. This is the 5ttond club in the province that is named for a founder '8.S the Tacoma. organization is known :lS the Smith Soule Club. In either cue the founder can act as a veritable godmother since she lives in the same city with the club bearing her name.
Tacoma has been very active this year with a membership of twenty and an nerage attendance of (ourteen. In addition to raising $100 00 for lhe Settle· ment School they have given $10 to the active chapter at the st a te university. a splendid schievement for so small a club. One delightful way in which they raised money was by seUing lavendar sac hets. bulbs and plants, among themselves.

Pugel Sound. the largest club in the province. leads in Settlement School contributions with a tolal of h20.83. Portland comes nexl with $230.00. Eugene, one o( the youngest of the clubs reports a gift of twenty-five pounds of choice prunes at Christmas besides many gift, to the ac lh' e c hapter.
Kappa Province showl a gratifying increase in the intert'st and enthusiasm of each club. Los Angeles made nearly a hundred p er cent gnin in Settlement School contributions and leads the province Ihis year. They sent $42j.00 in cash and one of their members sent a Christmas box containing two sets of encyclopredias. a Bible nnd a twenty-five volume set of Juvenile classics There has been a noticeable increase of interest in the meetings And a large tlttendance of active girls indicates .a closer bond chapter and club. The active membership of this club is still too low however, And a drive is planned to increase the roll.
Northern CAlifornia reports a most suc cessful year with an increase in the number of younger alumnae attending. They have a membership of eighty and have sent $255.00 for the School.
Perhaps the most enterprising of our younger clubs is Nevada. They are located &0 far from other n 4J groups that they felt keenly their need of contact with the rest of the fraternity_ So in October, 35 Il "gift" to the active chapler. they invited the province president to visit them !It their expense. It proved to be an inspiration not only to chapter and club but to the officer AS well. Thllt sort of active enthusiasm leaves its impress upon .11 who come in contact with it. Nevada is a small club but it is a. hundred pe r cent alive_
I wilih to upress appreciation of the splendid support hAve had (rom bolh the province presidents-such coOperation is bound to bring results.

During this year those grouPfi most far a.dvan ced in their work have been working on scholarship. internal development and the gain ing of re cO rnili on of 11 o:J! chapters and ' individual Pi Phis. Up to thjs time no letters of informati on have been prepared. The following groups are rCl.dy for that stage in petitioning if they arc not to be discouraged in their efforts 10 gain a charter from U R q,:
A group at the lJnivenity of Tennessee. at Knoxville, Tenn., has probably the greatest number of recommendati on. and the Itast opposition of any of the petitioning groups ready for the letter of information. The geogrsphical location is favorable and the university meets all the requirements.
The work of the group at the University of Louisville, Loui.sville, Ky., is at a standstill until some action is t1ken by the Louisville Club. Pi Phis in g eneral seem eager for a chapter in this university.
A group at r.h.rietta Collegt, Marietta, Ohio, while indorsed by many, has encountered considerable opposition because o( the geographical location of th e college.
At William and Mary College, at William s burg, Va., a group has been working ((lr indorsement. The general opinion is 'that there is t oo much opposition to coeducation in this college; that the college is too sm.t.lI; and the number of women students is too (ew.
Two groups in correspoudence with the committee last year have recently written of their work.
The group at the Un i versity of Pennsylvania.. at Philadelphia, Pa., has gained the indorsement of the Philadelphia Club and is now striving to gain recoenition from the Pennsylvania chapters .
At the University of So uth Dakota, at Vermillion, S. D , the peti ti oning group wr i te s that it h!15 fu lfill ed the scho l arsh.ip requirements this year, nnd wi:he! to continn!' work toward petitioning.
Two groups have been sent the preliminary instructions, one at J\'brlll'aU College, Huntington, W. Va., the othe r at Atlanta, Ga. These have not yet been returned.
A gronp at the University of Akron , Akron, Ohio, has requ ested info rmation concerning peti lioning.
Three groups have returned the prelimina.ry blank and the fulfill the r eq uirement s of n These are : Carroll College, at Waukesha, \V is.: th e University of Kentucky, at Lexington, Ky.; and the University of o rth Carolina, 1I.t Chapel Hill, N. C. The group at the Vniversity of North Carolina has been highly indorsed by interested Pi Phis, \vho feel that this group, the only loc al there, is e.n ideal one, and that the university is :1 very desirable one in which to place a chapter. However, the wome n students are admitted t o the upper classes only, 'Uld number only s ixty ·two
Seven groups have been defin i tely iiscouragtd. Two colleges, Wayn esb urg College at Waynesbuqt. Pa., and Transylvania College, at Lexington, Ky., cannot meet the requirement in reprd to the annual income, and the number of women students.
The University of Idaho , at Mosc ow, Idaho, is not considered a desirable field for extension at pres ent.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON EFFLCIENCV AND STANDARDIZATION
For the Committee on Survey and Standardization the chairm:ln respectfully submits the following report:
This committee has endeavored this year to follow in th e footsteps of the committee for the past two years of whi ch the Grand Pre s id ent was cha irman. Its work hIlS involved obtaining reports o n e:tch of the 65 active chapters from national officers, province presidents. and committee chairmen who were working with the chapters. The ch:tpten were graded into classes I through S (1 exceptionally strong; 2 above the average; 3 average; 4 below the average; 5 exceptionally weak) on the fallowing characteristics: I. Character of chapter-local or national , n. Sense of obligation to th e national organitlltion, 111. Cooperation, IV Place in college r egard. V. Place in activities, VI. Panhellenic relations, VlI. Internal development, VIII. Standards, IX Initiation venus graduation, X. Scholarship. The final rAtings on each of these characteristics were then averaged. These averAges represent the finAl standing of each c hapter for the year. From these averages the chapters were placed in Tank order I to 65, tae chapter averaging highr- st being ranked I, next highest :J etc From these Averages it was found thllt th e cha pters fell into five groups: 7 into A, (highest), 21 in B, 20 in C. 13 in 0 and 4 in l: The -t.ccompa.nying tab1e shows this ranking and grouping of the chapters
The object of thus ranking and grou p ing the chapters was not to discourage or depredate any groups. but to inspire them to improve their rank, o r t o maintain their high place if they rated high As the Ipirit of contelt is one of the outstanding characteristics of college youth it Ihould prove a worth-while "game" for each chapter to compete with her own re cord, thus striving to change her final position from perhaps rank 40 to rank 30, or perhaps move from group C to group B by one year's effort . The committee will pisce in the hands of the province presidents I\bout October I, detailed reports for each chapter in their province with graphs illu s trating. ] f the chapters will st u dy their records carefully comparing the characteristics in which t hey excel and those in which improvement is needed, they will find material fo r considerable re fl ec t ion and discussion. The chapters sho u ld abo compare their reco r ds of this year with each of the last two years noting whet h er a r e

REPORT O F THE FELLOWSHIP FUND COMMITTEE
The Chairman of the Fellowship Fund Committee submits the fonowing re o port to the Grand Council of Pi Bets Phi :
Instru ctions w ere sent to a ll committee members in August, urging them to msi1 letters to all clubs and chapte rs early in September. M os t of the committee were able to do this They were instru cted to emphasize the importance of the Fellowship ; to interest college seniors to make applicati on for the Fellowship; to suggest ways and mum' of rai,ing money and to suggest that all chapters contribute at least $1 0 00, all large clubs the same and that the smalle r cl ubs contribute at least $5.00 The r esults have been ve r y good, the finanei,.1 below indicates.

The other committee members h!lve done splendid work. The frat ernit,. is to be congratulated upon having members who so willingl,. give thei r services to the cause Per· haps everyone does not renlir.e how many letters must be written in. order to get a response. I venture to say ther e were between three and four hundred letters written this year, willi a result of on e hundred and three chspters and clubs contributing. If we could urge .11 secre taries to at least acknowledge receipt of ou r l etters, whether their organir.ntion contributes or not, it w o uld be o( great help. It is most discouraging to the committee year afte r year to receive no r esponse from some chapten and clubs.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNITY STUDY AND EXAMINATION
To the Grand Council of n B 4J the chairman of the committee on Fra.ternity Study and Examinlltion begs leave to submit the foll owin g report (or the year Since the work of Ihis committee in supervising pledge and c hnpter exnminations hss followed the sante general plans as outlined in previous reports littl e detail need be given now. Two innovations 3re t o be re co rd ed : la s t (,,11, for the first time, this committee assumed the responsibility for the new ch:lpters and the chairman prepa r ed a course of study and set the exnmination t3ken prior to installation. The supervisors reported excellent work in all three nses. Also for the first time there was a uniform pledge exnminntion: one set of questions WIlS used fr o m September to Janu !uy and another set thereafter.
In the summer of 1918 the present chairman was appointed and asked to start something new, supe rvi sed, which it was hoped w ould do away with cramming and yield such good results that the annual examination itself might be minimized. Although the province supervisors ht\ve been r emarkably conscientious nnd efficient and most of thl: chapters have given h one!>t time and thought to this study the results have not been satis(nctory. Some chapters do excellently year after but in some, the time or spirit ne eessn ry for preparation is lacking. In spite of the !:let thnt the questions are made out by severnl members of the committee and submitted to the Cnnd Council, they were rather difficult this year and the results are disc o uraging to supervisors and chapters. The chai rman r ecalls her own college dnys when there were certain que5tions to be studied each year. That is hardly in line with present educational ideu and this committee has substituted (or the questions, topi cs , announ ce d in the ARROW and BMllelin. The committee would be glnd to be directed by the Council as to the type of study and examination m os t suitable at this time. The chairman appends a number of questions And debatable matters relative to the type of questions, exemption, excuses, re -exami nations, etc , which need not be discussed here.
Tlfe pledge study and examination has been quite utisfactory . The work done by the senior or 3lumna in charge has l1!::ualty been highly commendable and, besides training initiates, has gr eatly strengthened some of those who will soon hd our leaders.
Every n B 41 should know the chapter roU but since to write it takes so long and t o grade it. is so tedious and difficult no question on it appeared in this year's paper. Instead, each supervisor was instructed to 35k the alumna in charge of c h apter study to hold such a quiz, to look over the papers and

to r eport to the supervisor . Several reports are especially gratifying. The cooperation of most of the alumn:e 3ssist:lnls has been splendid.
The members of this committee wish to make an appea l for papers written in c l ear and concist English, spelled and punctuated according t o established rules, a rr anged in an orderly manner. This year 1l bon u s of five per cent was to be given for nny pape r exceptionally good along the se lines but wns no t awarded in a single cnse. Several supervisors re ported papers unbefitting a college w oman The commillee has taken a positive st:md against h o lding examinations on Sundays.
Two members of the committee have lent their resignations to th e chairman. Too much praise cannot be given to the work of Miss Currye r and Mrs. R iggins fo r their constant, earnest and competent wor k.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOLARSHIP COMM IITEE COLLEGE YEAR 1921'22
Although no reports are available at this time. for the work which the chapters completed during the past semester, indications are that schol:trship is being viewed as something more than a n ecessa ry evil, by the active members. Cooperation improves each year and there seems to be a genuine willingness to do what the committee suggests.
The system ' which the commi ttee had worked out last year, f or grading chapters, was found on a final sc rutiny to have a serious objection, so it was ab!Uldoned. Mrs. Nelson, the s upervis or of Theta Province , offered some especial ly helpful suggestions so the problem has been tumed over to her. She reports some progress -s.nd the prospects are that a grading system which will more nearly fit all chapters will be ready for use in the fall.
The committee has done little more than muk lime this year. The indisposition of the ch airman has proved an obstacle in the planning of any new lines of development.
It is a matter of gnat regret thst I must l eave the field of a ctive fraternity work for a while. I shall always cherish the friendships in IT which the past five years have brought to me. The service J have given has heen so little when measured by the spiritual profit to me, that I shall forever be in debt (0 the fraternity.
Respectfully submitted,
FLORA HUI L MI1'C'HEI.L.

REPORT OF THE HEALTH COMMITTEE OF P I BETA PHI FRATERNITY
t9 Z1 -:u
T. Contin uation of the policy adopted in September 1921, i e., dose coope ration with the province presidents and vice -p residents. Each province president re ce ived a letter stating the policy of the health committee f o r the year, and asking her assistan ce in the carrying out of it in the chapters in he r province. The requirements o( each college in h e r pr ovi nce where there was a chapte r o( IT .z" in regard to phys ico.l education and hyg iene were discussed, nnd suggestions were offered as to the best way o( using the existing agencics in interesting the active chapter members in the health program. Suggestions and reports were asked (or (r om the province presirients, but these have heen very (ew.
H Each province vice -presid ent re ce ived a letter stating the policy o( the health co mmittee fo r the year, and '8-sking that the clubs be urgtd to take up the p rogra m in a serious way. The clubs were asked to h:Lve a member o( the health com mittee address them at their health meet ings where possible. The secretary arranged (or health meetings o( the New York and the Phi la rle l p hi" clubs at which Dr. spoke. She also tried to arrange in Zeta and Eps ilon p r o vince clubs, but with little success, because o( the financial res ponsibility incurred in bringing the speaker to them.
I n. Where health meetings have been held, it has been u rged to have the m eeting a Pan helleni c one j( possible. Several such have het-n held.
Letters have been r eceived (rom different chapters and clubs asking (or help with their health meeting program. Sue-gestions hnve been sent to them which we trust were hetp(ul.
IV. A n attempt h as beeD made to obtai n the names and addresses o ( .n Pi Beta Phis who have graduated in Meriici n e or !l5 trained nurses. Thi s was first Atte:mpted thr ough cor r espondence with each chapter, with vcry un satis(::actory re s ult s . An appesl was lhe:n addressed to e:ach Provin ce Presi· dent to urge her c h apters to send the required in (ormatio n So (ar there has been no re spo nse to this appeal.
V. The Chairman of the health committee has organiled a very excellent health prograJD among the: (raternity wom en o( the University o( Missouri, and aroused their interest to the doing o( practical things along health I!ne s What

she has done there can be used as a demonstration of what can be done in otber college. under the right leadership. and with. clear understanding of what n B • i. tryipg to do in her health program: help the college- girl solve her own difficulties throu&,h a normal appreciation of what life means in .U it. complexities.
POLICY OF PI BETA PHI HEALTH COMMITTEE
1931-22
To make the I-Iealth Program a vital part of the life of Active Chapters and Alumnae Dubt.
t. Close cooperation with the ngencies that are in closest lo u ch with the chapters and clubs, and which know the conditions nnd needs of tach. This means working with. the province presidents and vice-presidents. Information which can only be obtained through a visiting delegate can thus be secured. and each chapter -and club planned for individually.
2 Policy towards active chapters. The commit lee plans to obtain detailed information regardin&, the requirements of the colleges where chapters are located, in regard to compulsory or voluntary physical education and hygiene (this has already been done). tn all instances the committee is anxious to use the av:ailable means of educ:ation and to coOper:ate with the coliege authorities. It is felt that the fraternity can emphasi1.e, and in some instances supplement the knowledge obtained in the regular courses in a way that will be gratifying to the college authorities. In no iDlitance must the committee presume upon what is being 13ught in the college nor offer adverse criticism. Where practicable, it is thought thst a physical grading of each 3ctive member may lead to a deeper interest being taken in the he3lth work, and make the younger members realiLe the vn.1ue of the health progr:am, and of Ihe truths it is endeavoring to inculcate Such gradingl could be obtained from the Medical Adviser_
3. Policy towards alumnll! clubs. In order to present the progr3m adeQuately to the alumna: clubs, it will be necessllry to know something of the type of club, and what its local conditions and needs are. The province vicepresidents IIhould prove themselves invaluable in giving this information. Whe r ever possible, we would urge that the club, at its health meeting, be addressed by a member of the health committee Definite work should be planned by the club It might link up with existing health agencies for health improvement, and so perform a valuable service. No matter what the heahh interest of the club as such, emphllSis upon the great necessity for personal hygiene must not be forgotten by the individual members.
SUGGESTED POLICY OF PI BETA PHI HEALTH COMMITTEE FOR YEAR 19" -23
t. Continuation of the policy of 1921--22 in securing closer coopt1"4tion with province presidents and province vice·presidents, in the establishing of the health program in chapters and clubs.
If at all feasible. the committee would like a report from each province president and vice-president upon the health work undertaken by chapters and clubs under their supervision, and where obtainable, physic3.1 grades from the eli ve chapters
:I. Closer affiliation with local Panhetlenics in the endeavor to interest all fraternity women in the health movement. \ Vhere practicable Panhellenic meetings to be arranged with speakers competent to present public health topic II, and the relation and responsibility of the college woman towards them.
3. The making of a list of all doctors, nursell, physical supervisers, social

etc , in the fraternity, who are makin g a specialty of some phase of Public Health work, in order to have an avai l able group for furthering the cause of health, for widening our health program, and ha.stening the fuller understanding of it by active and alumnae members
4- The appointment of local health committees in the chapters to cooperate w ith the central cammittc!t in encouraging healthy living among chapler members, and interesting them in the m!lintenence of healthful college communities.
5. A uniform card for the ohillining of physica l grades lor use in the active chapters. Thest TKords to be kept by the local health commiltee, and forwarded each term to the cen tral committee
6. If a satisfac t ory basis of und ers t andi ng can be ar r anged, coope r ation with the American Social Hygiene Association in its educationa l activities in colleges and comm unities.
