TUE A.RROW OF PI BETA PUI

The actunl necessity tor proper chapter bousing is becoming increasingly apparent. and it i s the opinion ot the Grand President tbat the time bas come when n B $ must make some national provision tor its cha pters In their efforts to provide tor themselves houses adequnte tor their need s. No chapter struggling against adverse lhin g conditions can ren c h its otherwise possible high state of etti ciency. A Health Program which does not include assistance towards better living conditions cnn accompllsh littl e s in ce it Is 80 bandi cnppecf at the slart. Many chapters hn\-e paid In rent. tor entirely Inadequate houses money whi c h would hn,-c gone tor townrds the purchase of fully adequate houses of their own , money wbich would bn,-e been so used had it been possible to arrange tor the necessary initial vuyments. Alumnae everywhere must arouse to the necessity ot giving their utmost financial support to their own chapters nnd Pi Beta Phi nationally must provide tor worthy chapters the assistancc whi ch tinan c lal condiUons make Impossible loca lly 'l'wenty-onc chapters n ow own · thei r houses which hn ve a ,-a luation or $450,000. Oregon A has begun the erection ot n !.>enDUlu I $35 ,000 llOme which Is to be rendy tor occupancy this tnll, and Illin ois E, Iowa Z, WashIngton A and Washington B hope to build within n year.

For something morc than four years, it has been the privilege of n B to l1a,'o a part In caring for one of 1ts bonored Founders , n osa Moore. Until the past winter wben MLss M oore suffered a stroke ot' pam.lysis, the financial help necessary was negligible, and the Gralfd Council, sensIng a CCl'tain delica cy In the situation, made no announcement to the fraternity of Its action. After Mi ss Moore's condition became criti ca l onel constant care necessary. Mrs. Burton Mnxfiehl and othe r Pi Beta Phis , wbo have 80 splendid ly manifested the true spirit of th e fraternity In assuming the locnl responsibility for th e Grand Council, succeeded in placing Miss Moore in an endowed hospital. The expense connected with continued hospital care is not Slight, however. e'\'"en at an endowed hospital, and so, in addition to the tact thnt the Council beUeves that the fraternity as n whole s h o uld haye the opportunity to know of its pri"ilege partia lly to repay its debt of grotltude to a Founder. It is convince d that n Grand CouncU should not assume th e contin ued responslbtllty of Authorizing, without general knowledge nnd approval, an expenditure wWch will l.ov olye a total of approximately $1 ,000.00 a year tor an unI..-nown length ot time. The Grand CouDc il is, therefore, recommending that Com'e ntion nuthorlze the contlnuntlon of the tangible ex pression ot its l ove and appreciation tor it!" Founder who, in her old nge, finds herselt alone , and except tor TI uncared for.

The Grand President feels that the tlnanclal condition of the framerits specta I mention in a report on general fraternity CondiUoos. lIB cz, Is proud of its financial 6tandtng; all bills are pald promptly, the traternlty's credit Is excellent, and its financinl poliCY sound.

As a direct result la.st Convention severa l new were formed and the pulsIng of ll('W life has been constantly evident. One group after another bas applied for a c harter, thereby giving evidence of their desire for otticlal connection witb the national orgnni1..ation and ot their eage rn ess to have an active share in Pi Beta Phi 's national movements. Every cha rter granted has glYen your Grand Vice-President, and the provInce vice-president concerned, a real joy, tor with the granting of <'harters th e re always comes the menta l picture of PI Phis fired anew wItb zeal for n B 4>, banded togetber not only to cement old chapter IlftiUaUons but to form new attachments, all tilled with a mo,-Ing inspiration and an abiding purpose to work for the fraternity that meant Stl much to them tn co lleA:e days and is st UI to enrich their lh' cs beyond their expectations. Active girls, your Grand Vi ce- President would plead with you to benr this in mind that the trans iti on from nn llctive to all a lumna n is a smooth one. So many or the interests are thE' same--the broader ones. Of course there is no longer the dear intImacy of c hapte r life and its cl ose linking ,yith college life, but when it is no l onger possible for you to hold membership in an active chaptE' l remember that all those intangible somethlngs thnt thrilled you as all active-still exist for you somewhere as an alumna. IT B 4> is sti ll your fraternity with the same worth while goa l s, the same earnestness of pu rpose, the same ideals the same broad visions. 'l'he heart s of the alumnae are thrilled by the same enth usiasm for IT B 4> , are stirred by the same reverence for her traditIons, are touched by the snme appealing call of the Settlement School. As one class after another of you press forward toward the Senior Farewell Ceremony- r emember that the frateTility of your co ll ege days awaits you in every nook and corne r of our United States and In many. many large c ities and In many rem ote corne rs of foreign land s, South Amer1<'0, Europe, AsIa, India -wherever you go you ' ll catch the g leam of the arrow. FoUow it ! !

to chartered clubs or to unounl rcunions.

REPORT OF 'l'HE RETIRING GRAND SECRETARY

To n B 4t Fraternity tbe RctIring Grund Secretary submits tbe tollow,; lug report:

Upon my resignation as Grand Secretary at tbe close ot the col· lege year 1921·1922, a briet survey ot the work of that office tor the P8st year may prove interesting to the members of the fraternity.

With very tew exceptions each chapter bas manifested au unusuul spirit ot loyalty and co-operation with tbe Grand Secretary during the past year. Too much cannot be in praise of tbe promptness. cou rtesy, and etficiency ot our chapter corresponding secretari es-a condition that has greatly fncllitateu the work ot the ottice.

The membership of the fraternity has been materially Increased tbl s year by tbe addition ot the three new chapte rs c hartered at the CbarleV'oil: Convention-Montana A, North Dakota A, and FlorIda B. It was my unusual privUege to officiate 8S the tnstall1ng otticer for Florida B- an experience that I shall always cherIsh as one ot tbc ric-hest In my lite us a fraterni ty officer.

On my way home from Fl orida in October I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon wUh the girls ot the petitioning g r oup at the · Unl\'erstty ot Chattanooga-a wholesome . charming. and a c tively entlJUsiastic group of Southern girls.

Nine hundred and one certlticates of membersWp have been issued by the Grand Secretary thIs year which makes our total membcrsbiJ> at the present time approxImately thirteen thousand.

As Grand CouDcll represent a tive , the Grand Secretary "i s lted ele"en chapters during the past yea r These visits ha¥c resulted not on ly In happy experiences and delightful friendsblps, but In a real in · splrntion to me and a Ilew "ision ot the deeper meani ng ot n

At the request ot sc¥ern l Con v ention delegntes it was declded by Grand Connell at tb(' C harl evo ix mcctlng to send this year to each

cl:apter n stntcment ot the present rCQuirements or the Committee on BxtensioD tor grouJ)8 petitioning n 8 + , smd to hold each cbapter prest· dent respon81ble to report to the Grallu Secretary as to wbether or not ber chapter lultills at the present time these respective require· ments. Consequently these requirements were sent to each chapter presIdent in the tall by the ch airman or tbe Comm1ttee on Extension, and the results ot thIs survey were Inter tabulated by the Grand Sec· rf'tary. which Interesting data has been published elsewhere.

A Farewell Ceremony for Seniors was likewise formulnted by tb e Grand Secretary following a suggestion made at Convention with th e t.(.pe that the same may prove a detinUe connectIng link between the Ute ot an undergrnduate IT 84 In an actll'e chapter and the larger Ute ot alumnae days.

It is a matter of sincere regret to the present Grand Secretary U:at she now feels It necessory to relinqutsb the duties devolving upon ber ofHce, and thnt ber official connection with the fraternity must be severed with tbe rendering of this report .

Never can I adequately express to the members ot the fraternity my deep and heartfelt appreciation ot the privilege thnt has been wine to rende r to n 8 even the most humble 8ervl ce in an otticlnl capacity during the past three yenrs.

The l asting trlendsblps ; the many delightful experiences; the added zenl and love for n B which this contact has inspired In me wlll ever be deeply cherisbed, and will r-emain with me to mark these past tew years ot service in n B'" 8S among the richest (lnd most enjoyable ot my Ute.

With the deepest appreclatlon to you, and with the highest hopeI! nud utmost confidence J pass on thts sacred trust to my successor, knowing that her joy in the service of our beloved tTaternity will prove :tit deep and unbounded as hRS mine.

Respectfully SUbllJ ltted.

REPORT OF ARROW EDITOR

To n B4J Fraternity the ARROW EDITOB submits the tollow1ng report:

During the past two years, 1921-23, the Editor and business manflger of THE AaBQw has endeavored to maintaln the standards set by the former edUor, Sarah Pomeroy Rugg, and to make our traternity magazine n leading and worthy factor In the Greek world.

The assistan ce ond cooperation of NIna. Barris Allen as alumnae editor for one year and that of her successor, GeraldIne E. Mars, bave been Invaluable and greatly appreciated. The editor i8 also deeply ind{obted to Mabel Scott Brown tor her most excellent work as chapter letter editor; to Florence Clum Temple for her uoUring efforts io hflndl1ng th e mailing list and subscriptions; to Sarah Pomeroy Rugg tor edIting the interesting department of News From J lttle Pigeon i to Dorothy Cleaveland for numerous contributions to the Book Review section; to Florence Taylor Shields for organiZing and editing the new department, PI Phi Relath'es; and to Genevieve and Marie McSwtgan for con tributi ons to tbe department. Pi Pbis In The Publlc Eye.

TilE ARROW OF PI BtU rOllI

The Editor also wishes to express ber appreciation of tbe splendid spirit of cooperntion and interest shown by the members of the fraternity who have furnished Information , Dlllterlal, articles and letters for publication. Tbe corresponding secretaries bave given exceptional nld iu following Instructions and in sending In contributions promptly. During the interim of conventions, two private Issues have been I'ublished contallling the Com'ention mlnutcs and reports In 1921 and anoual reportS, minutes of the Grand CouDcll meetings and annud reo porLS of olunlilne clubs in 1922.

'.fhe six regular issues have included two special number s, the CO Dvention number In December 1921 and the Heolth and Athletic number in December 1022. The other four r egulor nu.mbers have co n · tnined letter s ot travel and description from PI Beta Phis In foreign lunds, accounts of our official famlly, articles by eminent members, Information pertaining to vocations nnd Items of Panhellenlc Intercst In addition to the regular features. Articles on special subjrcts have been obtained trom the chapter corresponding secretaries to be used under the former beading or " What A Girl Thinks."

ortlclt!s on Pi Pbls III Ui€ PuIJUc Eye which were so popular 111 Ule J)flst have been placed In a regular department and appear n ow In each open iss ue, A new department, PI Phi Relatives, has also been Inaugurated. Both or these departments have been established with a "iew to presenting' Interesting and tim ely news They arc not designed tor publi city.

'When the pl'esent ARROW e ditol' (ook charge or the two Immedltlte cbanges were necessary ou account ot the Convention ru lings prodding that class nume r'n l s should be omitted in a l umnae person als and that the alumnae cl ub annual rel)()rts should be published in the October number Instead of In Ule June Issue. Both or c banges seem to have proven satisfactory. A volunteer sen'lce slip ha8 been adopted .at the suggestion ot the Grand Council and a permanent insert appears in each ARROW.

Another cbange was made In h8\"lng the malling Jist placed in th e lumds ot a Maillog Clerk hl sten d ot under the supervision ot the CatalQguer. Such nn arrangement was deemed advisable since the malllng list required the undivided attention ot one person.

'l"IlF.: ARROW i s now the largest In size and circulation of any Crate'rutty magn1.lnc publi shed by a womant,s organization. The circulation has reached 10,500 and increases steadUy at the approximate rate of one thousand a ycor. During the years 1921-23, the editor rend the copy, galley proot and page prool' of approximately seventeen hundred pages contained In VolU!tUes 38 and 39. 'The edHot" supervised the binding dud d elh'e ry ot one hundred and thirty-tour copies of th ese volumes.

Twenty-tour hundred copies ot The Pi Beta Phi Bulletin, issued In eight numbers, ba\"c been edited and mniled. The work of a CrOSS -

reference index to the thlrty nine yolumes of Tn!: has also been slorted. This Is an enormous task but will be of invaluable help to tutul'C ARROW editors and to all fraternity members when It Is com· pleted and )lubllsbed . This work wUl probably require anotber ycar ('II more as it must necessarily be done during the time when tbe t>ditor 1s not engrossed with l}re88 work.

The ARROW Editor has made it a IlOUCY to seud all copy to tbe publtshers in tYI'K'written torm. 1Ience It bas been necesSllry to reo type poor nlanuscripts and those written In long·band.

Your editor and business manager did not sign .a new contract wllh the George Uantu Publishing Company upon assuming her dntles but agreed to continue for a year under Mrs. Rugg·s agreement. l\lrs. nugg suggested that her successor <'Ontinue with the Banta firm until s he should become accustomed to tbe duties of tbe otfi<.-e and could dee lde wheth er sbe wished to make a change. She also suggested that when the editor attended the Editor's conferellL"e on the National Pan· hellenic Congress that she confer with other editors regarding the Question ot fi publlsblng bousc.

During the yenr 1921·22, many annoying mistakes were made by the publishers nnd ulthougb they werc sometimes raUler trivial , the Nli tor felt thnt the firm was taking advantage of the new rcgLme.

The October 1922 Issue. however, did not appeur UlIUI the latter Ilurt or t..be month ulllJough scheduled tor the first week.

This dclay was jn no way due to the ARROW staff a8 all proofs were Tend promptly and c,·erytblng ,vas done to get the magazine out on time. The only ex('use oftered by the Ranta firm was that the printing W8S "uIl8\'otd:1hl;r delayed."

A similar delay on the part of tbe firm In December threw the December Issue into the Christmas rush and some members failed to reretve tbeir copies UDtU late In January. others did not receive thel1'8 fit nIl.

Other things occurred which were not satisfactory from a busl· ness standPoint, 80 your editor made n thorough Investigation of printing firms, visited elwen printing establishments and called tor bids from fourteen concerns scattered trom Pennsylvania to Colorado.

'1'0 Grund Coun c il:

It i s nlwuys dlttlcu lt in u report to convey the spirit back of the fnets and tigurc.s cited, but r cannot imagine it being SO dlttlcult in any report 8S it is in this o n e of the chili rman of tbe Settlement SchOOl Committee, for the yenr Just clOSing, 1922-1923. 'l'he report at Convention usua lly in c ludes the work of the years since the pre vious Con,·cnUon , but us the rCI)()rt or the chllirman lOr 1921-]922 was pubUshed In detnil III Ihe Secret ARROW of October. 1922, 1 shall not repent what CUll be found in that.

Our chnl rm e n co me nnd go, committee members come and go, and , 8rlous membe rs of the staft at Gutllnburg render their year or years ot service and then go back to tbe fraternity at large and into the work, ca rrying the enthusiasm that any time spent on Little Pigeon instils into them. But the work goes on, animated by n force that Is hurd to name but one that i s so vital that w e all feel its power. It if:! mu c h larger and greater than the Sptrit of Pi Beta Phi that our pictures in the Settlement School program show a9 hovering over the M o untuin Cabin, ulthough s h e Is Ii sy mbol o f the SI)lrlt ot Sen·ice aud Enltghtrncut und Progress thut is all element in this intangible for ce 01 which I speak.

No c hairman can make any report 'without a v e ry great feeling of debt to all the chairmen ano connnlttees and teachers who have gone

lot'fore her. We are, each one of us, links in the splendJd chain, and no one of us could have done anything without the work ot th08e who have preceded us. From the starting point of that memorable meeUolC of the Washington alumnae club, each year bas seen something of norl' special note In the development of the work, something that marks a very real advancej not ODe year has seeD a backward stell tak en. The ,"ery notable achievement ot the past year has been the in sta llation of the Vocational Agricultural Department. Each department bas new ma tters of interest tor us, a8 shown by the reports ot the Head Resident nnd the Staff, but the organization of the agricultural work into a department, with a competent director came about this pest year.

'l'he stott. has numbered nine: E"clyn Bishop, Head Resident; Phyllts II1g1noothutll , publlc llcalth nurse; O. J. Mattll, dIrector of , 'ocationa l Agricultural Department: neI e D K. Chew, prinCipal ot the 8<:hool and teacher In Ihe Junior 1Iigb School; Murlon Folsom. grade work: D. C. Denton. teacber In the Junior High School Bnd director of athletics; Emily Burton. primary grades; Anna Dowell, sewing, and house mother in the Pollard Cottage tor girls; Irene Linkous, weaving and household manager of Teachers' Cottag'e. In addition, Aunt Liz7.ie Reagan and her nephew , J. 'J" . Reagan are regular assistants In th(} house and on the property of the SchooL

The nnonces of the Sehool will be given In detail in report of the treasurer, but I wont to state here that the forward step taken in the 01 her parts of our work bns been taken In our finances also. Tbe trca8urer reports that the contributions for this year show an increase over last year; a.nd we all tbought that last year, with Mrs Rugg as cur splendId cbairmnn. was a record one. We hove met tbe demands oC our budget , with the exception ot the s um included tor a new (]ustrial bigb school building. Plaos for that building, to be erected 111 units as needed, are under consf(leratlolJ, and may be seen In the exhibition of School work. It there is anyone outstanding diBnppolntruent In the chairman's mlnd it is that no lnrge sums ot money have been contributed by individual PI Phis, as will be necessary, J believe, before this buJldlng can be completed. The current expenses increase so beavily trom year to year with necessnry enlargement ot the work that it is hut'd to see how we can finance SO important and 80 ltu'ge nn expense 8S flew buildings entail witbout individual gltts 18 rger than those that come to us tbrough club contributions. The chnlrman has this year taken this ID8.tter up with the vice-presidents nnd with indlvlduo 1 Pi Phis, ond has met with enthUSiastic response and cooperation, but, so far, with no money returns . Many ot our members are giving in large Bums to other causes, all worthy and splendid, and It is earnestly hoped tbat some of them mny be led to see this social and educational work of ours as equally wortby and splendJd, aod 80, some year. make a large otterlng to it.

The money gi\,en by the "nriOUB clubs can hardly be considered a

TUE ARnOW OF PI BETA PI-II

m{'asure ot their interest. Some clubs which may not khow SO large n total amount or SO large a per capita contribution have been build · ing up nn Intelligent knowledge nnd Interest that is sure to benr fruit III succeeding years. The two clubs that send the largest amounts, thf' Cleve land alumnae club nnd the New York alumnae club, will cont1nup. their friendly rivalry, I hope, to the good of the School treasury. I sbould like to mention each Indh'i dua) club that has made its contributton and that has wrItten me of its Interest. Most of the clubs send their funds direct to their province ,-Ice -p resIdents, according to rule. without mnking any as t o how the money s hall be expended. It is the policy and the urgent request of the committee that this shall be done. It has the budget to meet. The Committee, bow· (,,'cr, decided at its last anuunl meeUng to stress the need ot a moving p:cture apparatus In its appeal tor tunds this year, and that appenl seemed to strike n responsive cbord in the hearts ot many clubs. Se'\"era l wrote the chairman concerning it. The Indianapolis alumnae club , however. wns the first c lub to make a definite offer. It has there tore the honor ot furnishing the machine tor the moving picture clJtertatnments that are already delighting the School and the community on Little Pigeon.

Mi ss Bishop r eports that the Moving Pictere entertainment crowds may necessitate securing the Beating tbis summe r Otber clubs have sent to MIss Bish'o p and Miss Higinbotham 8nd Miss Chew many things ot service, in addition to their regular ruoney contributions, which I wish [ cou ld acknowledge by name In this report. But it is hoped that the clubs will appreciate the need of contributions being made without absolute conditions being imposed_ WillIe no direct responsibility Is tlxed upon the active Cbapters for the s upport of the Settlement School , more find more chapters are contributing to it. Since three-fourths of their contributions go Into the cndo·wment lund, they can teel that they are doing much to insure the permanence ot the Schoo l.

The m e mbers ot the Conunlttee ha\'e been busy in their particular tields, and their reports sbow much accompUshed. The treasurer would find her work easier 11 all clubs would send their cont ributi ons to their respective province vice--presldents. Occasionally some contusIon arises wben th1s is not done.

The ways and means member, Mrs. CurtLs, bas assisted clubs with suggestions 88 to ways of ra ising mon.ey whene\'er desLred. 1.""he cess ot the Cleveland c lub in securing funds ror tbe School makes he r

no authority on such matters. She hu also had c harge of routiog the Settlement School slides. She reports tbat a small proportion ot clubs avail themselves of th18 means of information and entertainment. All r:ubs that have reported On their use ot the slides are most enthusIastic It l8 hoped that clubB will writt: for dates very early this next year.

Mrs. Stark, the new member ot the committee, was asked to make 11 survey ot the Industrinl work c.lone by schools similar to OurS. She has gathered together valuable material that will be ot great help In considering the development ot this department.

The endowment member ot the committee, who Is also the Chairman, has gh'en a great deal ot time and thought to her work. but with ro financLaI returns. There Is not a wide-spread teefing, as yet, In the fraternity that there should be an endowment; consequently the buUding up ot an endowment organization has gone slowly. Material has been prepared and sent out to the vlce-presideuts to be used at thelr discretion. With tbe heavy current expenses, It was decided by the Committee not to make an open campaign tor endowment.

Mrs. Rugg, the publicity member of the committee, bas brought the School to the fraternity In the ,'ery interesting articles in 'l"mt AnBOw that she has obtained trom the members ot the School stat! or that she has written herself. Her supplementary leatlet to the HJstorlcal Sketch ot the School bas brought that history up to date. Sevel·al hundred ot these sketChes with the lea nets enclosed. were sent out to the dee-presidents tor distribution. She has also given help to aU clubs and chapters desiring it in the preparation ot Settlement Scbool progr.ams. A ,"ery comprehensive bibliography, complied at her directlon by Dorothy Cleaveland, based on an earlier one by Allee Mathews, is shortly to be printed. It will be of great service to all interested in understanding condJtlons in the southern higblnnds, and will also be ot help In the making ot Settlement School programs. She has also been Instrumental in getting out books of kodak pictures of the School tor the use ot the province presidents In their chapter visits. Elizabeth Shepard Lough, of the New York alumnae club, assisted In this work.

The chairman has tried to perform the duties usual to her o.ttice. At the last committee meeting, It was voted to erect an industrial high school boUding 8S soon as BuHdlng condItions 10 the Illountalns 8S well as elsewhere htl\'e been very dlmcult. Plnns have been made by Miss AIda WUson, Iowa r, who, with her sister, ElmIna WUson, drew the plnns tor the ,'ery satistactory 'I.'eachers' cottage, erected during the chairmanship ot Mrs. Delmick. These plans, with such modifications 8S tbey will undergo to meet pnrtlcular needs, provide tor the erection ot an audItorium first. It is hoped that some member ot the traternlty will wish to furnish the tunds for tbe build· tng ot tbis audJtorium as a memorlnl to some one interested in our own Settlement SChool or in the cause ot education tor those with limited opportunities.

To those who hllve watched the work ot the agricultural Director. it seems as if some wondertul things bad been accomplished. The tact that the community has received the advice and pra ctica l belp ot the Directo r as the ,-urious and their tamllies have Is in Itself a wonderlul thing.

The work of PhyJUs Higinbotham at the Jennie Nicol Memorial Healtb Center and througbout the community continues to be ot inestimable vnlue. '£h18 past year has been an espccinlly hard one; there bas been an unusual amount ot sickness both in the community and among the teachers.

There have been 200 CRses treated during the year. The nurse bas assisted in ]3 operations, 5 ot them .at the hospttnl. She made 1.171 vIsits, ond hos troveled (In tour months) 525 miles. She made 22 calls at nlgbt atter eight o'clock. Note in the treasurer's report the umou nt ot :fees coll ected.

In addition to nn intensely Interesting Itemized statement from Miss Hlglnbotham, from which the foregoing extracts ha\'e been taken, she writes as follows:

''The hospital bns been used more and more this last year. The Jncreasing demand for medicines bas necessitated our keeping n minIature drug store and a card Index of the treatment the people are getting , in order to ren ew the medicine without bothering the docto rs every time. Then the doctors are sending or calling frequently for supplies and instruments wh e n away from hOllie and in need of something Ullexpected. During the year, we have had to suppl y th e sterile dressings for the operations performed. Thanks to the clubs and Individual members, the hospital has been pretty well equJpped. 'The Boston club sent, a s a memorial to J ennie Allyn, o n e of the army kits or instruments, which is wondertully equipped for general surgery . Dr. Chandler, through Mrs. Cband ler, sent severa l sterllizers and a number of Instruments. The Ontario club has suppUed the operating r OO m with gowns, caps, dressing gewns, breast blnde r s, o ld Unen It bas also gh'en the laboratory equipment. a microscope co mplete, with all attachmcnts. 'rhe Des MoInes club bas given an army dental chair und equipment that is most acceptable.

'-There have been cases [hat the doctors would have liked to bl' ing to the hospital this yeat' that we co uld not receh'e, as we could [lot care for them. The differellt members at the staft have helped whene\'el' tl patient was there. baving to reli eve me for meals , <;n11s, and trips, and to help ,,1th the dressings. But while they nre always glad to hel)} . they hn\'e their own duti es and cannot always give the time needed at the hospital when patients are there. At present we nre consldcring the plan of engaging a pra c ti cal WOm.Rn to help with the work at the hospital and the case of any patients that are taken In. We hope also to train b e l' so that she c an net as a practical nurse in the homes , where so often just such 8 persou Is needeo.

Some ot the county lICbools had to close because of the tlu epidemic. Each year the teacher8 are more strict in regard to ex.amlnatlons, and 80 some ot the boys and girls who had bad to drop out tor a while on account ot slckne88 or to help on the farms returned tor the tinal examinations.

"Noon lunches were planned and prepared by MIss Linkous, and were served during the winter term to the children ot the primary grades. The girls in the tourtb, fifth, and s1.xth grades set the tables, washed the dlsbes, and a8sisted In every way they COuld.

The dormitory problem Is stul one of our most diUlcult ones. The need for dormitories tor both boys and girls ie 80 great that in the opinion of the statt it takes precedence over other buUdlng needs. This past year, fir&t tour, and then six girls were housed in the Mary Pollard Cottage, with Mrs. Dowell 88 house mother.

To n B <I» Fraternity, th e Cata l oguer submits the foUowing r eport:

In a cco rdan ce with the reco mm e ndation ot the former Cataloguer, at Convention in 1921, a tire·reslsting tile case was to be purchased tor the chapte r se t of ca rds In order to m ee t our futu re needs the n ew tile case should carry a oord larger and ot dltrerent s hape than those DOW In u se, whi ch would mean the making ot 15,000 new cards. Since there had been no printed li st ot initiates, marringes or new addresses since 1017, a new Directory was also consIdered a neCessity.

After an in spection or th e records , it was believed Impossible to accomplfsh both ot these tasks in the two year inte rim ot Co nventi ons and since the need tor 8. new Directory seemed most imperative aU tim e bas been d evoted to that.

task, siuce each chapte r nnd alumnae club is required to send to the Cata logu er once a year. a co mpl ete list or its members. This should melln tbat the Catflloguer bas merely to gather together aU material, locate all members ot deceased chapters, the lost members ot active chapters, prepare the copy and make all arrangements tor publishing . In compiling tbls Dire cto ry mnny or the lists mentloned above were never r ecc hTcd, whil e others contained addresses older than those printed In the 1917 Directory. Several trom cha pters bavlng more thnn 300 member s we re written tn such illegible long hand they were almost und eciph erab le Otbers gave all malden names, mnking no mention or marriage. alth o ugh giving the correct address sincc mar· riage Others gave only married nam es, and if these marriages had not been reported. as wns ofte n the case, the Cataloguer was forced to write e ither the cha pter or Individual for additional information, which would be unne cessa ry if the lists were correctly made up. Then worst of all were the lists typed by In-experien ced typists who t..o.irly mangled most of the names.

Curious to know why there wns sucb contUsion In regard to ords, the Cataloguer inspected the record books ot severa l chapters and found thAt thpre was no uniformity in the mann er of keeping rC' ' ords. Many ot the older chapters use day ledgers In which they add the nRmes under each initiation date, so if you do not know the daro of initiation of the person for wh om you are searching it Is almost impossible to tind bel' without thumbing through some possIble two 01 three hundred names, as the c ross reference in the back of the book seems to have been completely over·looked. Some keep the r eco rds under class h ea dIng, keeping maiden names, although they may have married one, two or three Urnes. Others keep their records alphabetically under the maiden name, regardless of the married name, which meaos a great waste ot time In checking since the Catalogue give preference to the married nnme.

Because of the great amount of tim e was ted in working with material reported In the wrong form , the Cataloguer wi s hes to recommend the pressing need of a uniform method ot card-Index r eco rdq throughout the chapters, this work to be taken care of by the chapter vIce-preSidents, olle o'f the requirements of holding this office being the ablUty to operate a typewriter with some degree ot skill. It, once 11 year, each chapter will attempt to locate all its members through t1::e return post-card method, the list ot' lost Pi Phis will doubtless be gteaUy reduced This need not be au over-whelming task for slxty·tl"e cllapter vice-presidents , whereas it would be for one Cata logu er.

The records of n B 4> are far too precious to be neglected in any way, but this must of necessity follow, since we are increaSing in number at the rate of 900 a year, unless the Cataloguer receives efficient cooperation from each chapter and alumnae club. S u c h Coopera· tion is impossible until a unHorm system of records Is in operation. The chapter or club should not be our only source ot information, but

the lndlviduals tbemsell'e8, may do much to help In keeping their records up to date. It 18 Dot 8urprlslng that marriages or change8 or address are oot reported It tbe indIvIduals themselves are not sufficien tly Interested to do so.

The Cata l oguer wishes to thank those interested alumnae wbose en roest c ooperntion has hellK'd to Ioco.te mnny lost members, also the dub officers, whose prompt r eplies almost ove r-shadow tbose trom whom she has had no reply. Th e cooperation ot the chapter!'! on the whole hn s been very good, an d the Cata logu er wishes to state that expressions ot cha pter retords In this report are flot In cr itici sm ot the chSI)ters or chaptel' ottlcers, but rnther to bring to the attention ot t hi s Convention the tact that the present si ze ot: the national catalogue demo nds the keenest cooperation trom the chapters. which is Im possible with tbeir present system ot records, mony ot which were inaugurated with the chapters founding many years ago.

'-1'he Directory. which will soon be off the preas, is presented with regret that it is Do t a m ore per f ect volume. Two years Is all too short fl time in which to locate more than 13,000 peopl e, prepare material and publtsh a Directory. This will doubtless explain some at the e rr ors bound to occur in a book of this kind whe n there are eve r -recurring unrepo rted marriages, and the inevitable "moving day ."

REPORT OF THE HISTORIAN

'I'he Historian submits the following report:

The duties of this otflce have included keeping the histori c al reco lds and arChives up to date. Some help bas been given the cataloguer including c harter datel!! ot the ()lder chapters and some now extinct. The search f o r these led to SOme co rrections III the r(K'O rds . Every ettort has been made to keep in close touch with the var· 10us phases ot fraternity work and to otter a88istance whenever and wberever possible.

The duties of the office have not been arduous and I feel that my predece880r was correct when sbe 8U,gested to last convention thut "the duties ot Historian and cataloguer could be performed by the same person with profit to the fraternity and a saving ot Ume and labor."

REPORT OF ALPHA PROV IN CE PRESIDENT

Alpha Provinc e Pr c_(dent .tu bmiu the f o ll owing report to Ot'and Cou n ci l o f n "* :

Since l ast Convention th e c hapt ers of A l p h a Province h ave been vis ited t wice, the trips this yea r beang due t o th e co urt esy ot Mr s. Ni c k e r son and Mi ss W ea v e r , to wh o m I am exceedi ngly graterul and lndebted. It was Indeed a cn us e of genuine reg ret to m e, a lth ough m e r e l y trom a personal point of view, that I was unalJ le to make m y eecond vlslt to the chap t e rs In orde r that I mi g h t co mpa r e tor m y o wn pleasure and satisfaction conditions of this yea r wi t h those of last. From th e c hapt e r 8' point ot view, however, I owe a very real debt o t gratitude to both Mrs Nickerson and Mi ss W eaver tor the Inspiration and assista n ce whic h I know th e girls r eceived from thei r visits.

The general trend throughout th e provin ce Is one ot progr es8 and unj· tleation a lth oug h there Is stili a g r eat deal or sco pe tor improvement In th e spi rit of nationalism a nd Int er-chap t er Interest. The New York and Vermont c h apters , however, h a ve pu rsued the polley again this yea r o f vi sit ing back and torth tor specia l fUn c tions, which custom h as undoubtedly a bro adening Influen ce on th e chapte r s concerned. It Is but ju s t t o note that the othe r c hapters nre mu c h t oo r emote t o foll OW this p r actice. For thi s reaso n

necelll<ity demandf.l even greater effort from them toward an appreciation of PI Beta Phi's nationalism, breadth ot vision, diversity of member!!lhlp and elasticity ot polley.

It Is gratifying to note the close spirit of fello'Wshlp between eome of the chnpte rs and their alumnae. I believe there Is a decided effort In direction In most of the groups where an alumnae club Is close at hand. "\Vhen both alumnae and acUve chapter appreciate the benefit to be derived by meeting each other fully halt w ay with a genuine altruistic desire for the fr ate rn ity development, t hen only do the alumnae r ealize the sallISfaction o f a definite living Interest as found in th e life of the chapter and the chap t er members h ave the tremendous advantAge ot the graduates' eXPerience, advice and support, which are 1C() willingly given. 'Ve find O1n excellent example of thl!!l scheme ot working together In Vermont B, where the combined forces ot actives and alumnae have raised considerable funds toward a c h apte r hou se by means of teal<, bazaars ll nd other simila r ml;lthous,.

Chapter house. are stili three in number, whUe two or the remaining groups rent apartments. This, however, Is an expensive method, owing to the f ac t that the lease usually extends beyond the actual time required and th e girls hav e this heavy additional expense t o s h OU ld e r Yet tor these two chapte rs a hou se would be difficult to finan ce located. all they a r e , In large cities wh e r e rents a r e exo rbitant and suc h a largo percentage o f the members co mmute, rather than "live in ." The other c h apt ers hold their meeUngs In their own c h aoter rooms.

Preferential bidding has gained In popularity In Alpha ProvInce. FIve ot our e ight chapters are now bidding und e r this system with excellent re8u1Ui Vermont A made the best showing this year, having luued eleven Invita ti o n s and won them all. I wou ld strongly adv ise one or tWO ot the chaptere to exercise mor e discretion in the matte r ot bidding It Is distressing ' to note that one group 10IJt almost fltty per ce nt of th e Invitees. while others hnrt to release pledges who talled to make the required grade More ca reful cc.nstderation. more th ou ghtful voting and greater relitlnce on and co n'lden ce In th e c' mO"'lttee would go a long way toward eliminatIng the many disappointments and Indignity ot failures . Throughout the province, n B eft is generally well repretre nted In college honors, both IJOC lal and academic. Although th e returns of the latt erare not co mplet e. there are already several elections to cJt K <$ oJ> n K and Mortar Board. Several ot the more important presidencies and vice-presidenc ies ot the various college organization!:! are held cred itabl y by PI Phi s , 1I.!i well as editorships, etc ot local college papers It is an unfortunate tend E' n cy o f many c haptera to over-emphasize the numbe r ot ottlces held rath e r than the m an n er o r holding th em.

Th e past two years of association with th e acUve In Beta Province has been a. tim e of great pleasure and delight. Through corresponde nce and vl ll lting we h ave com e to know eac h other well. There hu been during the period a three-fold aim In the work; first, the need fo r chapter progress of a real aS8ociat1on of the alu mnae advllJOry board and the acUve group, th e cu lti va ti o n ot an Interdependence th a t wUl help in solving Queatio ns and developing such cooper a ti on that the active gIrls will be wUllng to accept help and th e alumnae willing to gtve h e lp, second, the need of high echolar ahIps and third , th e necessity of trying to realize tbt:o national sp irit and o r ganization of our frat e rnIty ,

The new Morgantown c l ub will be, r am Bure, ot g r eat assistance to West Virginia A. The co s mopolitan Philadelphia club Is a tower of strength.

REPORT O}o"" EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Epailon Protrince Pre,ident 8ub7llitIJ thlll IOllo-u;nflD report:

Eight of the c hapters In Epsilon Province were each visited for two days during the college year. I have visited Minnesota, my home chapter. many times both officially and unofficially. Visiting the chapters a8 early In the year po•• lble. hi without doubt the best plan, as It gives a group constructive Ideas with which to work throughout the year. It al80 "Ives one a c hance to know the freshmen before they are initiated.

I feel aure that Epsilon Province has Improved materially In scholarship this past year. Various ways have been tried In raising chapter grades. For example, one chapter located In a large state Institution holds study hall, at Ihe house every night from 7 :30 until 10 :00. Good sound scholar· ship Is a elrong argument against anti-fraternity feelin« and Individual pride and reeponslbillty can do more than anything elee to promote worth while grades. We cannot str e88 too strongly the point that the poor records of a few girls can lower the scholarship of a whole chapter, which otherwise would have been splendid.

I have been asked the question, "which Is more Important, 8Cholarahlp or college activities?" Without doubt the answer Is: "scholarship comes first ." Activities, however, are a part or the life of the institution, and It Is up to every gl"Oup on any campus to support them in every possible way. Surely every girl ca n find time for at least one activity. It Is well to see that fr eshmen get started In activities even If It Is only being on a minor committee. In this way they become known and people will remember th em. when more Important things ('Orne up. It Is the duty of the active chnllter to require their freshm e n to go out for various college activities. Man y of the girls in this province hold very Important offices and the fraternit y Is proud of them. Think ot the sp lendid friends one makes In the other groups and among the non-fraternity girls. Surely that repa ys In part any effort put forth

JU8t a word about advisory boards. With the exception ot one board, r found that e ver yone was working In c lose coope ration with the chapters and helping the girls to meet many problems. ThIs speaks well for the boards and th e active chapter8 because It 8hows a desire for Improvement on the part or both.

ZETA PROVINC8 PRESIDENT

Zeta ProviKct: P ruidetlt .!ubndt. tILe f oHow'Jtg report:

Although 1 h ave, unfortunately, been unable this year to visit any ot the chapters In Zeta Province exce pt I owa Z, I have tried to keel) In c lose touch with IJroblems and achievements of each group through various monthly reports, covering the social. sc h olastic, financial. and ca mpus acUvlties. These reports, signed by the respective chapter chairman, alumnae adviser, and c hapt e r president. have in most in stances Indicnted a Ht eady advance toward the r ea li za tion ot our fraternity alms.

Missouri A has m ade a remarkabl e advance In her participatiOn In campus ac tivities not onl)' In the holding o f Important ottlces but In every girl taking an inte rested part In at leaet two activities. Th ey are also working very hard to perfect a. more pertect Internal organization by developing initi ati ve In every girl In the group.

MI 80url r has continued h er a lready splendid participation In activ ities, some of her girls making from (Ive to eight pointe a week-a. point r ep r e!'Ients a cert ai n approved a c tivity. She also Is striving to develop a greater sp irit ot democracy in the co lleg e and to widen the horizon ot all the students In this rather smnll col1ege.

Missouri B has mad e a d ete rmined etton to comba t the forces ot city lite antagonistic to a hleh standard ot scholarship by working out a schedule ot supervised study for eac h fre s hman 80 that her vacant hours on the campus are utilized ae a co n cent ration rath e r than a dissipation ot her mentn.l energies.

Towa A and Iowa J'. two or th e chapter.e most prompt In their r epo rts to me last Yea r , h a v e sllPl)8(! 1\ bit In this regularity but the reports received have satisfae tory.

Iowa Z is taking a rather Il\te but very valiant stand against in!erior scht'la r ship. She has not only lifted her own sta ndard of sc holarship for Initiation, but she has, working through Panhellenlc. rai sed the s tandard o f the entire Gree k-l etter community and done away with a very serious handlcap--the Initiation ot a pledge on a mere verbal report or satisfactory 'Work at the close ot the first six weeke of the secGnrt term.

REPORT OF ETA PRQV[NCE PRESIDENT

The Ex-Eta Province President ,,"')fnils the /oUowhtg repOrt:

The early part of November [ spent two daY8 in LaramIe as a guest at the chapter house H was a great pleasure to renew my friendships of the previous year and to greet the new freshmen who had entered In September,

The campus Is being constantly changed and added to. This year the new library was almost completed and a portion ot the new stadium abOut to be started.

Trl Delta has been the only rival but a new local chapler Is petitioning K K r and the girls feel that there Is n. very decided place there on the campull for It. The Dean of Women spoke very highly of the n D 40 c hapter and emphasized particularly their sociability and their hospitality but seemed to feel the girls had rather neglected scholarship for other phases of college activit)'.

Colorado n, I visited at various tiITles during the yenr as long as I was In Denve r

The chapter there shows the dlrtlcu l ty or holding together and m ak i ng a un i fied c h apte r whe r e the girls do not live In t h e house or in a dormito r y attnched to the campus, Their life as a chapter Is very broken. They are very materlallv assi!; t ed by rnost loyal and enthusla6tlc nlumnae who do everything tn their power to assist,

The thought that I always tried to bring to them In my varl<'lus talks, was that at co-aperation and loyalty. The habit ot thinking fur the chapter and from the group vlewvolnt rather than as Individuals.

Colorado A was my last visit and was made over a week-end In March. An alumnae meeting had been arranged and a meeting with DeR.n Bigelow. She spoke, as she always does, very nicely and with a great deal ot loyalty to the chapter. She bemoaned the lowering at the chapter acholarshlp and Its gradual withdrawal. as a chapter, fro,.. college activities I don't think the word "selfishness" would be too hard to apply.

Here. as at Colorado B, my remarks dealt largely with loyalty and emphasized always a loyalty which extended tar beyond the chapte r and Included the campus. Scholarship was also a point to be stressed particu larly and to the older girls I tried to brln.:- a. realization ot their responsibility In thll( manner.

This brought to a close my participation as a province ottlcer, How much T enJoyed the work and how much it meant to me r can neve r say. I can only hope that even a portion of that enjoyment and help, I was ab l e to give bnck In return to the chapters. Everywhere I found the girls lovely. charming hostesses and as fine and splendid as any with whom I have anywhere or any time, come In contact. It IB my wish that I may become

permanently located so that it my work has had any merit, I may again be able to take UP some share ot the 'Work that carries on n B 41.

REPORT OF ETA PROVIDENCE PRESIDENT

Eta Province P"esfc!cnt ",ubmU" the followino report to the Grund COlmC'il:

This report covers the period trom February 1923 to Fl23. During that time visits have been made to Nebraska B, Kansas A and Kansas B, :lirs. Frase r having vIsited Colorado A. Co l orado B and Wyoming A

In the three chapters visited, I (ound the type of college women whom II B Is anxious to send torth . Each chapter has girls who are leaders on the campus In all lines of activity. I am sorry that all are not l ealiers In scholarship as Kansas B, but there Is a keen interest for betterment In scholarship. Kan sas A has two Phi Beta Kappas.

In each college the Dean of Women said something In aPI>roval of the different chapters and always had high praise for certain Indlvidu.'\ls. Panhellenlc conditIons are very good In all ot the institutIons. The chapter!5 have benerlted tn so many ways by vl!5lts from Miss Onken this year.

1 h ad conferences with the advIsory boards and found them all eag"er to help the active chapters. There Is a great deal of interest about the convention. and I am sure we are going to derive much benefit from ft.

May I take this opportunity or thanking Miss Onken and Mrs. Fr3$urfor their- helpfuln ess and of expressin,; to both the active membe rs t\nd to the alumnae my appreciation of their personal courte sIes and co·'meration.

REPORT OF THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Theta Promnce President submits the following revort to the Onnul Comwil:

Since In s t Convention every chapter In Theta Province has been visited annually before December, with the exception of one. I feel t hat It is mo st advantageous to visit the c h apter s early in the year .

M any problems arise during the earl y stages of readjustment to college life. The personal knowledge of existing conditions and of the girls. enables one to work more comprehensively and understandingly throughout the cu rrent year.

Preferential, first semester bidding has been used throughout Theta Province: with the exceptions. in Loulsana, of sophomore preferential bidding; and in Arkansas, of open matrlculatlon bidding. This system ot preferential bIdding does not eliminate all the evils of rushing, but the r esults have been very satistactory In this province.

The size of the chapters ranges from twenty-six to thirty-six girls. Tho:;;e chapters who have had need to limit their number have profited by closer fri endsh ips and greater Internal unity and development.

TINO chapters in the province have "chapter rooms", the other fonr live In rented homes. Oklahoma A Is buying an attractive site and hope. to build within the near future. Oklahoma B paid cash tor her beautiful lot lru;;t summer and has the perspective and plans completed for her new "English Manor" . Arkansas A and Texal! A have house and lot funds well started.

In each c hapt e r I have found an eager desire tor participation In the various actlvltlefi nnd n real elYort being made to have n r epresented in every worthwhile organization on the campus.

Scholarship reports have s hown splendid Improvement. For the last

two years Texu A and Oklahoma D have won the Panhellenlc schola rship cups. They are striving to win them thls (the third consecutive) year, tor by 80 doing. they may claim them permanently for their own. In June, 1923. Louisiana A graduated three PI Beta Kappas; Oklahoma. 0\, one 11 K and Oklahoma. B two Phi Kappa Phis.

The advisory committees are proving ot inestimable value In Theta Province. They are rendering real service, In meeting immediate needa, so et!lclenUy. of the active chapters.

Some of the chapters haye had their share or dltficultles to tace this yea r. I feel contldent that tlley will be stronger and liner tor having met and overcome them to the best of their ability.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to each and every chapter, to many alumnae and to the Grand Council, for their continued IUPPOrt. loyal cooperation and valuable assistance as well as tor personal courtesies &0 kindly extended to me.

May the h orizon ot vision be ever extended and the illumination ot thought be broadened In the reallzatlon at a g r eater Theta Province.

REPORT OF rOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

Iota Province Pre6ident 6vbmH3 the following report to th.e TwentJl-rixth Biennial ConvenUon of n n 4>.

College life In Iota Province has become the normal wholesome lite that existed before the war. Congested conditions sUIl prevail on the campuses, but th e students are manifes ting a seriousness ot purpose whi ch Is shown by the results In many lines ot endeavo r Naturally the fraternity chapters benefit by the Improved conditions. No startling Innovations have been made tn the province within the two years since the last con vention , but a !ltpady growth has been maintained and the c hapters are in a strong, h eal thy condition. One chapter has been weak ened by losing a. number at members to othu' colleges where th e courses offered were more desirAble. Taking e,·t:>r::tlllng Into conside ration, however, the chapters are stronger tnn.n at a.J1Y Alnce I came Into ottlce.

Since the 1921 convention, Montana A has formed the link between the Northwest and the middle states. The Secret Arrow tor 1922 gave detalleQ Information concerning all chapters, so this report is a summary of general (..'OndlUons.

In November 1922 Miss Onken visited all chapters In Iota Province with the exceptton of Montana A which she Installed In Scptember 1921. The fine Intluence which emanated from her rare personallty was expressed by many of the girls in their desire to Jive up to the highest Id eals or n n n.s exemplified by their Grand President. It was my privilege to visit m y c hapters with Miss Onken.

Last year eve ry chapter received an oUleta! visit, and Washington A and the two Oregon clm.pttll'JJ were vll!lited Informally seve ro.l times. Thill yea r every chapter has been visited , and through the cooperation of the otticers I have been kept In close touch with conditions.

Scholarship has been consta ntl y kept before the girls as a. nq.tural goal tor all college women, and a necessa r y one for PI Beta PhI". The province held lif'Co nd place at the l as t convention. I do not know what place it now holds, but lTlo st ot the chapte r s have worked hard. Some of the averages may be lower than h e r etotc.re, owing to the conthlued policy ot rai s ing the standards in the colleges. Washington B led the campus in scholarship the second 'Iuartel. She won back the place s he had lost, and we truet she will

THE ARROW OF PI BcrA PH I

be able to hold It

Montana A held first place the first Quarter and I!econd place the second quarter. Oregon A moved up several places to fourth on the campus. Washington A has worked consistently and has a B- average to show for It. Oregon B held a house average of 86 percent tor two Quarters, and was working to win tirst place or near first. In three states tbe appropriations from the legislatures will not be adequate fot' the needs nl')>[t year, consequently many students will be eliminated from the universities. I hope we will not lose a n 4> trom any chapter by this process of elimInation, as it means that the student8 with low grades will have to drop Ollt.

I have visited the Deans of Women In every college and without exception they have pr ,)lIounced the Pi Phis helpful groups upon whom the faculty 'flay depend They are democratic and form many friendships among the non-fraternity alrl'!.

I'anheHf'nlc

have Improved. The petty rivalries seem to ha\'e been replll.\!l'd loy a broad e r understanding. PI Phis are endeavoring to persuade Panhellenlcs to ahoUsh the many rules which prove pltfal1s to all, tor a few !!imple, rules which will help to make rushing less '·hectlc." However, Panhellenics are not yet Utopian.

Chapters have been urged to use discrimination in the selec tion of (reshme-no to look beneath the surface attraction s for qualities that will wenr. The work of t he committee on Survey and Standardization has been v€ry helpful In every way. It has brought clearly before c hapters the qualitief'l desired In rushees. The freshmen this year are fine types. Sonle bids were lost, and we regret the fact, but chapte rs need not tee l dll!graced to lose a hid In f'FlI""f'''t , iT' T1.1P;h\"g I1gninClt a !i!trong nation:l.l. the prc!'crcntial system of bidding Is used it is Impos.'1lble to know how many bids haVe b ee n won from other traternitles.

All chaplers have been well represented In college activities. No Pill Beta Kappas have been reported at this time, but PI Phis are prominent In all adh'jtles and the y have captu red a large number j)f leading offices. Th ey hold the leads In class plays, and are to be found In lhe giee c1l1bs. It hns been a hobby with me to try to stimulate a desire for good musl,. In the c hapter hou ses. The slogan-"In a singing chapter I always find CDOpern.tlon"-hafl been used In one of my former reports. It Is just as true an indication now as formerly. Iota Province was delighted by prc·spects Of a "Slnglng Convention".

All five chap ters maintain chapter-houses. Oregon B Is buying a hoU!'t"l, the hom e of the former president of the college. Some Improveroents have been made and more will be made. The home Is one of the best owned by a. wom en's fraternity In Corvallis. ""Oregon A Is bunding a tine home Rnd hopes to have It read y for the chapter next fall. The other houses ll re rented by the chap ters. Washingt o n A and Washington B own lot s In good l.:>eatilon!' a.nd will bulB when loc al conditions are right.

Advisory Boards have been faithful to their duties. Washington A has been the recipient of great service from her adviSOry board. Oregon A has been t ortunate In having memb e rs or her board chosen from the alumnae clubs of Eugene a n d Portland. Oregon B ha s one local member. the others a r e c ho sen from Portland. Washington B has one local member and the remaining members are trom the Spokane Club. The se condit ions are unusual. but have been antlsfactory because of the keen Interest shown by the tar distant advi sers, who have visited the chapters frequently. Montana A Is fortunat e In ha.vlng her advisory board located In Bozeman. Valuable advice has been given nnd accepted In the right spirit and the chapters have strengthened thereby.

This year all chapters have been c haperoned by r efi ned, conscientious wom e n eager to help the girls atta in the goal of their dealrelt-noble woman-

hood. To these 10) al h oul"e-mo thers n B", owes much.

Every chapter, at the time of writing this repOrt. haa good tlnanclal standing.

The chapte rs are not without taults. They have had their problems and conquered them, thus developing strength.

As spO neor tor Iota Province I wish to promise the .na tl onal organlu- tlon the support and cooperation ot (Ive chap ters of llI!I loyal hearted daughters of n n fiS are to be found In this whcle country. Jt anything or value haM been accompll.llhed by this Incumbent It has been becauee ot the untalllng cooperation trom all rnemben ot Grand Council, advisory boards and "my girl!!".

Kappo Pre.tdeft,t .ubm.U. tile following report to Gra,," Oou."dJ of II is." and Con"enHoft A".emblett :

Each chapter In Kappa Province has been orttctally visited during the college year, In addition to the many Informal visits I have had with the California A and B girls. At each chapter I felt the Inspiration Rnd enthusbsn, re8ulting from Miss Onken's visits, the fir st visits o( a grand office r since I ha.ye been Province President.

The average chapter membership Is twenty-one, ranging from California Alpha's thirteen, to Calltornla Beta's tw enty-eight. Memb e r.llhlp campaignIng In general W8.8 very successful. A new rushing system wile tried at Stanford University and I am co nfident that if: the fraternities would live up to the contract It would work out satisfactorily. The fr es hm en were to be pledged at the end of th e year without any tormal rushing. Complications arose at the beginning ot the third Quarter, how e ver. when the frnternilies suddenly began the forbidden concen trated entertaining, breakIng th eir cont ract simply because th ey thought eve ryon e else had. Pledging was allowed to take place then so as to put a stop to th e excessive rushIng ] agree with the university authorities that the fraternities (ailed to JIve up to the trust put In them and I am glad that OU I II <II c hapler wa s willing to assume Its part of the responsibility. They agreed to make every effort next year to live up to the contract, regardless of how etrong the temptation may be to do what they suspect other fraternities ot dOing. Thi s element ot suspicion among fraternities is one of the w ea k est points In our whole system. As one Dean or 'Vomen said to me, how can the university teel confiden ce In the traternltles when they are 80 auspicious of each other . Aside trom being responsible tor Stantord's problem this very IPirit baa prevented the Panhellenlc at the Unlvereity ot Southern Call(ornla trom being a con s tru c tive force, and It ha.s ca used a very unhappy PanheUenlc s ituation tor Nevada. A T (eel that It 18 a duty to our naUonal fraternity for every II *' c hapter to try to bring hom e to Its Pan h elle nic the Importanc e ut the fraterniti es keeping faith with each other, so that the unlversltlee will know that they are honest with themselves, 80 they will be with others. Otherwise, I f eel that we have no more place In university life than has any other untruetworthy element.

Th e has !lee n several happy changes In hou s ing N e "mia A left the dormitory for a chapter house Though at present they are renting there Is reason to believe from their su cces sful management that they may begin working 800n on a more detlnlte plan. The beautiful n o w home of Cali fOrnia r 1M a Jo)' to the chapter and Alumnae, both, and I f ee l that It Is responelble In great part (or the Insplrntlon and enthuslal"m which have

made this year 80 success!ul tor the chapter. Arizona A has just leased f\ much better and more attractive house tor next yenr. California Alpha's home I" entirely paid tor and substantial interior Improvements have been matte r ecently, The large porch at the side ot the house Is now being enclosed In glass. California B hae had Its first year In Its beauUful new home and I f ee l that the tinancJal problems involved have been mel as well as could be expected with the chapler working alone. The alumnae house seemed t o tall to realize It s responslblllties but fortunately a new board haH now tnk en hold. With renl business methods and close cooperation between the alumnae and chapter I believe that the financial plan devised for t h e pUrchlU!6 of the house can be worked out successtully.

Becauso this 1111 my last report I want to omit other statements about condition!! covered tn detailed rel>o rtH and leave a message with Kappa Province 011 two HubJects which I have s tressed 80 otten. Scholarship and the Baltour Cup award.

It Is a great satisfaction to report that a real advance hae been made in scholarship. Not only Is thle evid"nt In belter grades but In the realIzation by th e chapters that the natlonal fraternity must meet the criticism that the frat e rnit y system Is a menace to good scholars hip If reco rds continually IIhow non-fraternity students leading. Arizona A was presented with the scholarsh ip cup, the good news reaching the chapter while I was with them. Ne vada A leads the fraternities again, with five honor roll students. California B made real Improvement and though records for the past year nrA not AvnllSlhlf> , ("nllrnrn\SI Alpl""· !p"t report! "how the be!t ye:l r in !ts hi s tory with three Phi Beta Kappas and third place among the fraternities California r had n lower standing this year. AJthough Individual marks were good two conditions due to poor health brought the average down. Because I sincerely hope that this Improvement Is founded on a permanent basis and will continue, I want to emphasize a point I have made before to the c h a pters I have always f elt that the time to think of Improving scholarship is not just berore examination with entorced study methods, but when fre s hmen Rre being chosen. It a freshman Is obviously trlvo\(lUs and. uninterested in college work, wh y should she be blamed when her college record Is only what should have been expected. I believe that the worth while fre s hman co m es to college with a real purpose and ambition. and 1s anxious to talk about it to the older college girls from whom she might expect advice and encouragement. Too often rushing ofters no oppOrtunity tor this, but there Is great consternation when a.tter InlUatlon the freshman shows no Interest In her work and receives marks accordingly. In brief. mr Idea or "an ounce at prevention" Is for the fraterniti es to demand that along with the aUraclve personality and other requirements, a freshman show eome Interest In the work she plnns to do In college, and have some Idea. of why she Is th e re. The combination Is entirely possible and not unreasonable to expect. I know from experience. Of many cases I could cite, J am thinking now of one or lallt year's Phi Beta Kappas who a.lso held th e high est honors college had to offer. She would smile with me at the amhltlGus goal confided on her registration day, long elnce forgotten probably, but It gave me all the Ind e x to her cha racter I needed It a chapte r II! honestly tr y ing to rai se Its standing. I believe It should al!k Itself one question after n freshman has met all Its other requirements. "Can we afford to lnke this girl In view of our obligations to meet the scholarship standards at our naUonal fraternity?" We could ask nothing more than that. In stead of a chapter having a few real students trying to offset failures and Incompletes we would have a well balanced. group with an Interest In their work and that would assure the result. And now a word about the Balfour CuP. n 8 cJ! hn.s given her chapterfJ

a. detlnlte 108.1. I feel that no honor could ever come to a chapter whJch could equal that of receiving the Balfour CUP. signifying that It of all n <j) chapters had mOtlt completely met ita obligations to ita COllell'e and Ity. r know that my chapter" have made winning It their ambition and [ want to encourage them to continue working. It Is a. source ot pride to me that the La..st r eport of the Committee on Survey and Standardization shows Kappa province in tirst place. Calitornia A held fifth place. with A rating and the tour other c h ap t e r s were among the fir st three with B r a ting Just as New York 1" conslstent,y held Its A ratinJ: until It received the cup , 1 hope that our goals made will b.e maintained and In c reaeed, And while, [ may not actually be In the convention to enjoy that greatest of thrl11s when It is presented to one of the Kappa Province chapters [ will surel)' be there in 8pl rlt.

My work in Kappa Province has been a r ea. l pleasure and I could only ask for my 8ucceuor that she r eceive the same lo)'al cooperation ot the a.ctlve g:1rla and alumnae. I want to thank Miss Onken again for her advice and constan t helpfulneu,

REPORT OF' ALPHA PROVISCE VICE·PRERJDENT

Alph.a Pro",,"C6 Vke·Pre"'dent ubmil the foll o."ing reJlot·t:

The routine work of keeping up-to-date the card tIIe8 ot alumnae In the orovlnce, noting address, club membership, "Arrow" 8ub&erlption, etc., has iJeen carried on 81de by side with the far pleasan ter task of keeping In touch with the alumnae clubs and their nctivttles.

There are ten cha rt e red c lubs In the province with a member8hlp oC proximately 350. Only ftve ot the clubs are near an active c hapter. Practically all of the c1ub8 have printed programs planned early In the fall and every <'lub except ono (which ha.s a large non-resident m e mbef'8hlp) has monthly meetings, one club having two meetings during the month, The! type of meetings dltrer widely, except for the tour prescribed as to 8ubject, and 1ncludes such programs a8 a SR.U8age roast, to which hU 8bands and ch ildr en arc Invited, a c hildren's field day, a lecture at an Art Mu seu m or a theatre party Three clubs have held Panhellenlc meetings, and the New York City Panhellenlc AseoclaUon, In which th e New York PI Phis have been most active si n ce Its e8tabl\shment several years ago, Is planning a houtte for fraternity women. The health meeting hatl not as yet become versal, a8 some o f the 8maller clubs have found It dIfficult to work up an lntercsting program, but with the aid ot the bealth Committee this problem can su rely be solved In the tuture.

Tn r egard to the finances of the clubs, the budget s)'stem has proved to be most 88.t1s facto r y where It has been used, and I strongly recommend that tlystem to every club. The Rochester club with a membership of fourteen, haa had thl!!! year the highest per capita contribution to the Settlement School. haw co ntributed both to the Fellowship and Loan Fund8 , has made gifts to two active chapte r-a. and I believe Its succe" 18 In large meaaure due to Its 8ens lbly planned budget. The members pay In two In8tallments during the club year and each m e mber knows exactly what the amount of h e r obligation Is to be.. Another procedure which would probably help In the more buslne8s-J1ke conduct of club finances Is the sending of blll8 for dues early In th e year to all pro!!pecUve members.

The Settlement School ha s of course taken e. large share oC the Interest and attenUon of each club, The sa le of Chrlatrna8 Card8 I s In general 1..18e :\s one mean8 of ral81ng money tor the School but many other methods have

year as required. Philadelphia is t.he largest with seventy paid members. It Is a disappointment that tor the last two year8 there ha.a been a gradual decrease In paid members, since Settlement School contributions and the club a tlvltles to be Increasing. All clubs contributed this year and to date $.4,222.88 has been sent to Miss Stuart. This averages approximately $13.50 per capita tor each member which 18 most gratifying. Cleveland 8l1rpn1!sed their own record by sending $2.102.60 more than US.OO each! Several clubs 8ent gifts directly to the School at Chrletmas. I wleh to thank all ot the clubs tor their response to the Settlement School by 8uch generous help.

Early In the fall the list or duties of club ottlcere wtU! sen t to each club. In s tru c tion s conce rning Senior Farewell Ceremony slips have been sent to each c lub ncar a c hapte r and t o each c hapter nnd clubs have encouraged to tollow \IP this work by Inviting the Seniors to become members.

Th e alumnae ot CinCinnati were urged to meet for Founders' Day but at t.hls tlme I have not heard whether they did 110.

The feeling between c hapte rs and nearby clubs seems to be unusually good. according to reports from the clubs. Each club n ea r a cha.Pter repOrt s having active delegates at Ill!! meetings and al80 having IIOcial functions together. Co lumbue Ie carrying on an active c hapter h ouee ca mpaign and Pittsburgh hae been helping Pennsylvania 1.\ to keep ehapter rooms. They have also adopted the Mother-Daughter plan. Athene haa offered to O h io A a cup on which will be engraved the names ot the seniors and sophomo re h:l.ving the most points In schola rship, campus activities, and general attitude. The Philadelphia club gave up ite two French o rphans and three Armenian orphatlS and devoted all its lime :lnd ettoM-1I to the Settlement School by m eans ot a series or bridge parties.

Questions w ere sent to every club early In April In addition to regular correspondence but this r epo rt had to be written without any r&cent word trom five c lub l'J.

On the whole the co nditions tn Beta Province seem very encouraging.

REPORT OF GAMMA AND DELTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Gaml"lla a11d Delta Pro m11ce Vice-P rcside1lt submit.! tile following report:

The combined provinces, consisting In 1921 of nine clubs have been enla r ged b)' the addition of tour, Hillsdal e and Southwe8lern Indi ana representing th e r eorganization of r o rmer grouPfi nnd Atlanta and NOrth Carolina new onee. CO rr espo nden ce ha s been ca rried on with and literature sent to groups In Niles, Mi c higan, and DeLand, Florida who are anxious to form c harte red clubs and It Is hoped that these will be es tabli s hed in the near fut u r e.

Most clubs sho w an Inc r ease in membership, W a.ehlngton and Dela"Ware lending in this r espect. The paid membership ot Gamma and Delta numbe r ed .430 In 1923 'T'h er(> ha s been widespread enthuelaem In WOrk tor th e Settlement School, the 'Yas hlngton, Ri c hmond, IndIanapoli s and Delrolt duba contr ll)l1tlons or $1.168, $260, $664 and $300 r ellPectivcly being outstanding In point of achi eveme nt. In 1922 the cont ribution s from th e two provinces totalled $2,627.63, In 1923 $3,076.68. making a t otnl ot $5,695.21 tor the Interim or conventions.

THE ARReW OF PI BETA PHI

The Washington and Indianapolis c l ubs have been splendidly erganized in their Settlement School program. Each club sent out in the tall an outline or the work proposed for the School, asking each alumnae to enlist as a worker on one committee or to make an individual con tribution. The results attest the etficacy ot this method. Indianapolis purchased the motion picture projector a nd screen so mu c h desired tor the School and sent the rest In cash. Richmond with on l y eighteen members gave an average of $14 per capita for th e School besides donating $10 each to the Fellow:!Ihlp and Loan Funds, and to the two Virginia chapte r s. They have shown splendid ambition and initiative. Washington's s ixtee n per cent Increase in membership Is the di r ect outcome o( a thoroughly worthwhile and Interesting program and the adoption ot the goal o( $1,000 as the minimum t o be raise d annually tor the School. I wish eve r y c lub could catch the Inspiration that comes from working toW"ard a goal apparently Impossible ot achievement but quite within our grasp when we really work (or it. Especial c r edit i s due the Baltimore club tor its donation of $100 given by individual subscription. In view oi the fact that every m e mber of this club h as obligated hersel( for $421 toward Goucher's $6,000,000 endowment drive. One alumna, Grace L ewis, ot't:ered to gh'e $50 in th e name of Maryland A provided the chapte r raised a s im ila r sum, which it promptly did. Miss Lew is makes the E-xcellcnt suggestion, which I pass on to Convention. that "to sti mulate each chapter in enthusiastic giving, one alumna be tound tor each ot the active chapte r s to do the same thing each yea r, thus crea ting an annual Income o( from that one sou r ce. "

The Nort h Carolina club of fourteen members scattered over the state, and meeting tour times a in Chapel Hili, h as started with a tine sp iri t o( enthusiasm. Their c hi ef and Immediate Interest .Is in helping the petitioning group at the University ot North Caroli n a. I fee l su r e that they will develop into a strong club. Atlanta Is handicap ped by Its Isolation tram any active chapter and by lack of experience in alumnae work. They have. however, a group of fine women, anxious t.o give effective service, and Sl) wtll, I am confident, be a center of s trength in the south.

Specia l mention should be made at the program at the Washington club, a COpy of which Is posted In the c lub's exh ibit The practice ot having a of national Importance at eac h meeting, who gave s timul a ting talks on que s tions of broad interest, h as proved a strong drawing card, One hour is devoted to business, 30 to 45 minutes t o the speak er, with refreshments and a social half hour at the close. Baltimore, D etroit, FraRklln, Indianapolis , a n d Hill s dale clubs also h ad ve r y attractive program s.

While some clubs h ave spent their major ettorts in raising tunds for the School, others hav e been especially st r ong In coope r a tion with A.c tive chapLer s, and thi s is particularly true ot the clubs ot Delta province. Franklin has maintained a m ost eiticlent adviSOry board. and as a result o( th e ir etrorts Indiana A has led all fraternities on the ca mpu s In scholarship and one girl has held the Pan hell en ic schola r ship. Their Settlement School activity has been coope r ative and th e club has been strong In pUblicity work. Ann Arbor ha s kept in close touch with the chapter and planned most at its wo r k with th e m. Bloomington wit.h only fourteen membe rs has undertaken and carried to a successful conclusion the purchase of a lot near the University and the building of a chapter hou se. It ha s been a Herculean tasl. and splendidly performed and to those interested In learning the details, Mrs . nott. delegate from Bloomington wllI be glad to give further Intormatlon. Detroit shows an in c rease of 33 1-3 per cent in membership. 55 1-2 per cent in contributions to the School and reports meetings better attended than ever b e Core. Like Allanta, Lafayette has been somewhat handicapped by alumnaeIn e xperience, being a new club with an active chapter only three years Old

REPORTS OF OFFJC£B8

They have had "tronS' officers, have cooperated well with the chapter and with belpa and "US'8'esUOIUI from vtaiUng offJcera, m, no doubt, .hare to a (rreater extent In national alumnae work. The Southwe.tern Indiana club of fifteen , coming from nine town s 'WIthin a radlu" o f nft y miles of EvanfJvllle has this year tor th e fir st time h eld monthly meetings. Tbelr ettorn have heretofore been directed t owards financlne Indiana Beta's bou se. Now they nre eage r and anxious to work tor the School.

The great amount of time spent on the ca rd catalogue could, In my opinIo n, be more profitably spent In constTllctive province work. I have found this catalogue of no value, alnce all needed Intormation cou ld be l!Iecured more quickly and effectively (becauae of the geographical classification) trom the lists sent annually from Banta. Not content t o rely wholly on my own judgment In this matter, I consulted my two predecessora, whose v e rdict was the same. I therefore, sugges t that this task be omitted fr om the duties or province vice-pr es ident s.

The following suggestions are ofte r ed b y th r ee of the club8: by Franklin that "an)' l!Iugge8t1ons for patrone$Ee8 from any mt.mber of an alumnae club he 8ubmlUt'd to the club as a whole and receive a majority vote before beIng 8ubmlttM to the active c hapter" : by Baltimore that "some definite procedure be decided upon, whereby an alumna Is transferred-80me scheme s imilar to that In use In acUve chap ters"; by Washington that "alumnae c lub8 and a c tiv e chapters be Invited to hold a conference In Washlngton on the Friday and Saturday preceding the D. A. R congrf'flS In the ",pring .)f 1924

It will effect a sa\'lng of time and postage It all Settlement School contributions trom acUve chapters 8S well as alumnae clubs are sent directly to province vice-presIdents and I suggest that delegates carry back this reminder.

I would like to suggest also that all alumnae clubs have an open Settlement School meeting, at which the pictures of th e School nre show n, once In the Interim of co nventions, that th e fraternity own two or three. sets of 8l1des, that cluLs submit thelr dates ot meeting to th e c u stod ian of the slides and that an itinerary be made by her, so that the pictures will be continually working. This Is An exce ll ent m ethod of telling our friends why we ask their support for ou r School.

I propo8e that the name of Emma Harper Turner be made as enduring 8S her work by naming In her honOr eome building or other "permanent monument" at the School, and J ask the privilege of speaking on thl " point later

r cannot close thle report without ezpre88lng deep appreciation tor the hearty and helpful spirit of coope ration 8hown by the secretarle8 and Individual membere of alumnae clu bs, for the IlIJlIlstance ot Mrs Spiegel and Mrs. Brinkley In visiting and reporting on clubs, and to the fraternity for having given me the pleasure nnd privilege of having a sma II PArt In Its nat ional work

REPORT OF ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Era Province Vice-PreHdent 8ubJtlU" 'h.e following report:

}o'rom nine chartered alumnae clubs In 1921 to thirteen in 1923--euch haM tJeen the remarkable growth o( Eta Province during the past two yea.r8. Sevl·rtLl of the.,f' ('!ubE had organized (or some time before they obtained eharters which made their uslmllatlon Into the national organh:ation a very simple process. Boulder, COlo., Sheridan, Wyo., Wichita, Kans., and Che)' · Wyo., t.he tour new cluba deserve special commendation tor the splendid manner In which they have functioned. Each new link tormed In our alumnae department glvea promIse at a broader traternity, a wider vision, a new step taken towards the (ulrtllment at our Ideals and asplra.tions.

The necesslt)' (or Increasing the number of paying m e mbers In th.e alumnae clubs ot Eta. Province has been consta ntly stre88ed with most gratifying resulls. During the Interim at conventions 1921-1923, dues have Increased. from '86 to approximately $150. This Is evidence at the cons istent growth which ht so necessary tor the tullest development at our alumnae department. It ShOW8 an Increasing zeal on the part at the oftlcers and members of a lumn m clubs to bring Into the ranks or our Fraternlt)· nH many ac tive pRying members as they can recruit tram resident alumnae at rt Too much ('an not be sa id in com mend atio n at the splendid work accomplished by the treasurer of the Denver and Lawrence alumnae clubs. They have \\.orked with untiring erro rt to Increase the dues in their respective c lubs and the re su lts have been exceptionally tine.

During the last two years th e Settlement SchOOl has been a constant l'IOurce at Inspiration to the clubs In Eta Province. I am very much gra tlt led to report that our eubecrlptlons during that period have shown a substantial Increase over previous years. There have been adverse local co nditi ons }' ea r In certain c lubs which have made It dltflcult to rai se money. but I am 8ure that the discouragement which these clubs have met will only serve to Increase their ertorts In the com ing year W e have attained this yea r one goal towards which we have been earnestly etrlvlng-a record which shows that everyone at our thirteen clubs and everyone ot our six neUve chnpters have contributed tlnanclall)' to Little Pigeon. Th e t otal cont ribution tor gta Province In 1922·23 Ie $1.700. In the ranking at c lubs according to pel' capita contributions. Lincoln has headed the Jist each at the h\lIt two years. Her contribution each )' ea r has been approximately $470 or $18 per cap ita. I lonora for the largest co ntributio n trom an active c hapter In Eta Provin ce have been held eac h year by Nebraska B, also located in Lincoln. It Is Int e resting to note that the \Vl chlta club. next to the youngest In Eta Province raised $210 during the l ast )'ear. This Is Indi ca tive or the general attitude with whi c h new c lub8 have met their r espons ibilities The tact that th e 1923 Conve nti o n Is to convene at Eetes Park In our very midst, gives promise ot splendid results In Eta Province ( o r the next year. A vision Into th e tuture wou ld Indicate that ou r clubs wllJ m eet with renewed inspiration and enthu s iasm the cha llenge of a. larger Settlement School co ntrIbutiOn. and a broader national viewpoint as a direct reeult of the Convention.

During 1922-1 92 3 th e Settlement School co ntributions trom eight clubs a m ounted to $919 .32 almost twi ce that tor the prece ding year.

REPORT OF lOT A AND KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Iota and KapPG Vice-Pre.wtent aubm't. the lollowml1 report: The work of the two provinces, with their files and accountJi have been kept separately so I shall report on each province Individually.

Iota Province; The work with Iota Province was hampered by the Illness of the former ofticer In c harge so that no records h ave been r eceived and the tllee have had to be reconstructed as well as possible from mailing IIste and ARROW tllee.

Portland has done splendid work and leads the province In subscriptions to the Settlement SchOOl with $375.00. They published a most attractive year book with the names. addresses and telephone numbere of the members appended. Thei r generosity wa s not confined to the School tor they aslsted th e two nearby chapter s, Eugene and Corvallis. In their rushing a nd In their effort to own c hapter homes They have a regular Ch ristmas cha rity; they have given this year $125.00 to the Oriental Wom en's Colleges; $25.00 to the Portland Community Chest, and $10.00 ea('h to the Loan and Fellowship Funds. I am giving space to this detailed account beca use it seems to me indicati ve of what a small but enthusiastic club can accomplish. Their list includ es less than seventy alumnae (tifty-four are raid members) yet their achievements rival those ot clubs with twice that number.

Seattle Club. formerl y known as the Puget Sound Alumnae club. has also had a splendid year, wlth nn enviable record of accomplishment. They have raised over eight hundred dollars for the buUdinl" fund of the active chapter: have made several glfte ot furnlBhings; have given $350.00 to the Settlement SchOOl and have had an unusual number ot delightful social affair!!' during the year. Their regular business meetings average about fifty in attendance while ppeclal parties bring out from seventy-five to one hundred.

The other cluba In Iota Province, with the exception of those In Montana. are t1ourIBhing. Eugene sent $50.00 ; Spokane, $02.00; '1' acoma $luO.OO ; and Yakima $38.00 for the School.

Kappa l-'rovtnce: the Loe: Angeles club s howe a steady gain and r each es first place for both provinces with $567 71 tor the Settlement School. Thmr greatest problem is membership and several plans have been suggested to Increase the attendance of the suburban alumnae. The nlcmbers of one large group In the neighboring city of Long Beach, who have been meeting Informally for some years, have organized and will undoubtedly develop Into one ot the strongel'lt ot our smaller clubs.

Northern California has gone back this year, due largely to their efforts to help the local chapter In the purchas e or a beautiful new home, 80 their contribution only totals $76 .5 0.

Nevada 1.15 a constant joy with its prompt to all reque s ts, It s desire to grow and its enthusiasm tor n 8.., and all of her Interests. The Nevada PI Phis work closely with the active chapter and this is reflected In the Interest of Nevada A In the Settlement School.

The Tucson Club Is BmalJ but the province president report !! that th e Interest Is good and the y sent together with the active chapter more than UOO.OO ror the School.

My conc lu sions. atte r two years or vrork with the combined provi n ces, lead me to respectfully suggest to Grand Council that 1n this instance we

return to the plan or an officer tor each province. A glance a t the mal) w1ll show ilow great are the distances Involved. It takes at least four and 'J8unlly ttVf! days for a to re ach the Northern clubs ana a contact 19 difficult to effect and maintain under th ese canOltionH Moreovel"', there Is a psychological effect difficult to overcome when the orrlcer Is located ell too great a distance from the club.

Accordingly the HiStory, Constitution, etcetera were mapped out and questions cov· erlng this year's assignment were prepared. The Study tor Pledges was printed several years ago; questions cove ring that were also sent to the chapters on December 1. As usual, the province supervisors guided the study and every ertort was made to Insure rcal study and not cramming. One of the supervl80rs teels that · the answers were mere ly parrot work but several others are surprised tha t the replies show 8uch individual thought and mastery of facts. On tbe whole the chapters seem to like the new arrangement which, ot courSe, is more detInite aod tnkes less ot their time. The examiners have graded very strlcUy aDd one suggests that, with the questions announced, the per cent tor the Bonor Roll should be higher,

REPOHT OF COMM llY rEB ON SURVEY AND STANDARD· IZATION

For tbe Committee on Survey and Standardization tbe Chairman re · fiJ)CCtfUlly the tollowing report: com mittee has endeavored, eluring this biennlum , to tollow in the f oots teps of the l ast committee of wblch the Grand President was chairman. Reports on each of tbe 65 active chapters from nat· ional officers, province presidents and committee chai rm en were grndcel into classes 1 t brough 5 (1 exceptionally st rong ; 5 eX{''e I,liuu· ally weak) on the following characteristics: 1. Character of chapte r - l oca l or Dfltional , II, Co·opcraUon, 111. Sense of obligation to the nnUonal organization, IV. Place in co ll ege regard, V. Place in student;, nctivities. VT. Panh ei1enic rclntions. VIr. lnte rnal development, VIIr. Standards, IX. lottinti on ,'ersus graduation , X. ScholarshIp. The tinnl ratings on each of these characteristics we re then averaged. These averages r ep resent th e final standing of eac h chapte r for the year. "rom these averages the chapters were given serial numbers , 1 to 65, the chapter averaging highest being pla ce d 1 , next highest 2, ClC. C hapt er ratin gs on each cbaracterlstic ' Uh tinal average and rank nre s h own by Table J. Each chapter delegate will probably wish to copy down her own chapter, reco rd and give it ca r etu l study

As the work of the committee on Sur,'ey and Standardization bas continued now through one full coUege generation or four years, the chairman thought it might be worth whUe to make such tables and charts as would show the reeord of the chapters for tour years. Table 2 ond the large chart show the final averages and serial numbers 1· 65, (with such skips as were necessary when there were l ess than chuptc r s) tor the tour years. Any chapter's record can be tound and it& tendency estimated by noting the serial numbers which represent ils plnce iu the national organization, in tbe successive years, Of course, the object of thus ranking the chapters was not to discourage Oi' depreciate any groups but to inspire them to improve their rank or t l') maintain their high place it they rated high. To Ulustrate: Louis· iana A has a remarkable record during the four years, ranking 63 in 1920, rnlsing that to 18 in 1921 and then to 4 last year and this year

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

reaching firSt place. To give another 1llustration: New York r has held a place in the first nLne chapters during each ot the tour years. runking successively 1, 5, 2. 9. Each chapter should note tirst where she stands among the 65 chapters and second and ot greater Impor· tance bow she stands this year with reterence to last year and th1.s biennium with reterence to last biennium asking the questions: Have we improved? Have we held our own? Or have we dropped back?

The tollowlng chapters show marked Improvement this year over last: Missouri r gained 53 places; New York A, 46; Vermont A , 44; Pennsyh'nnla .6. , 37.5; Iowa A, 36.5; Penn sy lvania r . 34; and Indiana ",31.5.

The tollowlng chapters dropped back over 30 places: Colorado B, "erm.ont B, Montana A, Virginia A, New York .6, and Oklahoma A.

Duriog the blennlulll, the following c hapters have c limbed upward o,'er 20 places 8S f ollo ws: Loulslftna A galntng 3S; Oregon A, 36; Missouri D, 26; 1I1100is IT , 24; Ontario A, 21. (The following Chapters should gh'e caretul thought to tbe tact that they show a down · wnrd tendency ot 30 or more points: Indiana .6. , Wyoming A. Kansas .... ?\£assacbusetts A , Colorado A , Pennsylvania A and Nebraska B).

Some cbapters have held relati'fely hlgh , medium or low poslUon in the traternlty during all four of the years. New York r has tbe highest average during the tour years. Two other chapters VirginIa H nud Washington B hove also malntatned high records during all tour years, 'l"hree chapters, Wisconsin B. Indl&na r. and Texas B, are holdIng lheir own as good average chapters ot the truternlty wIth their relative positions varying on1y a tew places durIng the tour years, (Five chapters, Indiana D, lllLnols .6, Maryland A, 'Va shtngton B and nUnois Z, are maLntainlng about the SLlme relative position trOID year to year, but they could strive to raise that position to a higher average). Loul@lana A. rennil;\ylvania.6.., Oregon A, und Texas A each show very mnrked annual improvement in their scores. (Untor· tunately New York .6.. , Co lumbia J\ , nnd Calitornia A seem to be 011 a toboggan.)

The com.mittee is deeply appreciative ot the cooperation which they have reech'ed trom the many people asked to report to them. We would welcome 8uggestlODS as to how we could be ot grenter service to the active chapters.

Respectfully submitted.

The Loan Fund is gradually b ecomi n g a factor in th e national work of n At eac h Convention we have been able to r e port a greater numb er of girls who hav e received aselstance tram our frat e rnity in time of finan c ial distress. Requ es ts faT information. u s ually res ulting in loans, h ave b ee n received tram the Pacific to th e Atl a ntic . The lo a ns during the c urr e nt year hav e numbered twelve and totalled $1,050. Ot th e ten st ud e nt s a id e d , two were juni o rs , seven were seniors and one a graduate who need ed a s ix weeks ' course at a Y. W . C. A . Training School before assuming a pos ition at re sponslbillty The loan las t mentioned was grante d tor a s hort period and ha s been promptly ca ncell e d . The generosity of th e last Convention and the s upport a t Chap· le r s and C lu bs h ave e nabled the work of the Loan Fund to co ntinu e o n so large 11 T o day . 'ti s true. the balance to o ur credit is gratHying but only $100 or the $960 r epaid during the in te rim ot co nv e ntion s was received before April 15 1922, the date upon whi ch the accounts ot the Loan Fund were closed la st year.

Th e above t ab l e shows that the total loan s gran t e d to date amount to $5 ,530 while th e Loan Fund Itself amounts to only $3,947.42 n B hn s untold w ea lth In thi s "rolling s tock," not only in dollars and cents accumulated but al so in the g ratitud e engendered In th e hearts o t every n wbo has receive d assistance

Th e chairman ca lls your attention to t h e pre se nt financ ia l co ndition of the Loan Fund. On April 31, at this yea r there was a balance ot $1.052.42 A l oan ot $100 h as a lr ea dy b een granted to one at n e xt year' s seniors and another se nior ha s applied tor a loan . Thus this balance will b e c ut by $200.00 We have outstanding l oans as tallows:

$445. overdu e and drawing intt' t'l'!t

$600. due July 1. ot tblS yenr

$300, due July 1, 19"..4

$1,250. due July 1. 1925. '200 , due July 1, 1926.

$100 due July 1 19"-1'.

or tbe $445 now overdue, tbe time on one loan or $200 . 00 has been extended and 48 yet we have received no aB8urance that tbe balance or $245 will be repaid this year. As regards the $600 taIling due July ot this year, $100 has been paid since cl08lng the accounts April 31; an extension of time has been asked tor the payment or one Joan ot $100 and tbe remainder to date have not been heard trom. The above facts indicate that It the number of appUcaUons fOT loans for the ensuing year do not Increase, the present Loan Fund moneys will be sutticlent to meet all demands. On tbe contraTY tbe !inanclal outlook for the enUre country Is not promIsing enough to warrant the sUPP08ltlon that tbere will be no Increase In the number ot appJicatioDs tor aid, and furthermore our aim Is to help an ever increasing number of girls If the occasions present themselves . When the latter year ot the next "Interim" hi reached with only $300 falling due, the Loan Fund may be without suttlclent funds to meet the demands unless Convention repeats its generosity of two years ago and unless the clubs and chapters continue their support. After 1925, with $1,250 becoming due that year. the Loan Fund should be self-supporting and, we trust. will total $5,000 on that date.

The loans In most Instances are paid when due . The few exceptions seem occasioned by tllness or other untoward circumstances. Keen appreciation ot the Loan Fund has been so frequently expre88ed that the committee teels that the girls realize their Teflponstbfllty tn discbarglng their debts and gratitude tor the aeslstance they have been rendered. The Commlttee also teels that ultimately the Loan Fund should be adequate to help every deserving n who nnds hersel! without sufficient means to complete her college course. Furthermore PI Phis should teel no humiliation In applying tor the Loan Fund for ald.

The Committee wishes to thank all who have contributed 80 generously since last Convention. We wish that every club may remember the Loan Fund In their budget. We wish especially to commend the active chapters who have added to the Fund.

We urge those now benetttting trom the Loan Fund to pay their loans promptly and not retard other deserving girls trom receiving the same aselstance that aided them In obtaining a college education.

In closing a long term ot service the chairman wishes to thank all who have worked with her to make PI Beta Phi's Loan Fund a realtty. and all who have contributed to the growth of the Fund . It has been a pleasure to have taken an interest in worthy PI Phis throughout the length and breadth ot the land.

REPORT OF THE FELLOWSHIP FUND COMMITTEE

millee member writing and collecting tunds from ber respective chapters and clubs. Most ot the provinces bave shown bearty cooperation, Alpha, Epsilon, Zeta and Kappa have kept to their usual standard. which Is always tine Beta , Delta and Iota tell somewhat below. whtle Gamma. Eta and Tbeta show a splendid increase. Gamma province was without a representative un ttl February when Mildred K. ,Bissell most capably took up the work and received a response from an chapters and trom all clubs In the province To ber and to Alpba province and Dorothy Cleaveland goes the honor of 100 per cent provinces

For new work this year the committee bad printed about 3700 coin folders and mailed them out to the Isolated alumnae . As this was only done tn April a complete report ot this project cannot be mnde at this time-but tbe committee very much in hopes tbat a goodly sum will be added to the tund chrough this channel. About $68.00 has been received thus taT.

As the responses tram the chapters and clubs have become more general. would convention advocate that the committee emphasize the increasing of the contributions. in order to complete the fund by 1925? This was the time Bet to complete the fund when this committ ee was tlrst organized. but with the Interruption caused by the war it has made it doubttul whether it will be possible or not. We would have to raise about $170.00 in each province tor the next two yeaTS in order to do this Of course, we do not wau l t o Int e rf e re wlt.h the Settlement School donations, but we would be able to turn our entire Interest io the Se ttl e ment School, the Loan Fund and other n ell interests, it we could speedIly get this endowment raIsed for the FellOWShip . The committee I am sure, will do its part provided we have the promised help from the chapters and clubs.

Th e chairman would like to tak e tbis opportunity to thank heT committee members tor their hearty co-operation.

REPORT OF THE HEALTH COMMITTEE

The Health Committee submits the tollowlng report to the Grand CouneU for tbe year ]922-23:

During the year 1922 -23 the h ea lth committee ha s endeavored to car ry on the polley as outlined in the Secret Arrow of October, 1922_

Th e work for the year is perhaps best expressed through an analysis of answers to a questionnaire sent to all chapters, All except eight chapters, Illinois Z, Virginia B, Michigan A, Nebraska B, Colorado B, Oklahoma A, Oregon B, and Calltornla A respond ed to the questionnaire. The Interest taken In the problems raised was very great in many C8ses. It is Impossible to quote at any length, but most of the answers showed that careful consideratton and discussion of the questions had taken place. Several chapters had co mpetent persons, doctors or nurses discuss the questionnaire with them, and aid In th e formulating of the answers. Many ot the chapte r s spoke of the Students' Health Departments of their co lleges, and of the Instruction they received in personal and gene ral hygiene, ot the provisions for the prevention of and the care tor disease among the students. In some cases college or chapter rules covered some or all the points raised by the questionnaire, A few colleges have health r eco rd cards which are Issued by the physical education departments. One ot these co ll eges ofters prizes tor health points as recorded by the cards, or bas them count toward a univ e rsity emblem. The Deans or Women tn many ot the co ll eges discuss the varIous questions raised with the women of the college. and the chapters cooperate with them In e nd eavoring to live up to co ll ege standards, Local co ndition s. suc h as whether the college were a residence Oll(', or th(' (' hapt('r Ih' ed ill Ii fraternity bouse, Influenced the answers to H large exte nt. Some chapte r s. however. discussed th e problom[i from the larg er point ot view ot the r e lation s ot these various qUI..'sUons to health, nnd particularly the health of the college womlln, The opinion was almost unanimous that some health ideal flhould be set for the chapters, whether expressed as a set ot

In th e Convention of 1923 .

At th e last National Pan hellen ic Congr e ss our delegate , Dean May L. K e ll e r brought up the question of a National Pan h e llenic Health Program. This was warmly welcomed . The r e sult wa s that a unarlmous vote or the eighteen national women's o r ganizations was recorded in favor of a health program. The tar- reaching effec t of this movement should 800n be telt. We are proud to feel tbat n B 4> bas bad the honor in pioneering in this 8S in other dir ec tions . The chairman of our H e alth Committ e e asks that a vote at contid e n ce b e giv e n he r, and permis s ion b e granted h e r to co-

operate with the members or the Na tional Committee on a Health program tor National Pan hellenic Congre s s.

Th e ch a irman of th e Health Committee had s e ve ral m ee tings with th e Edu c ational Committee of the Am e rican Social Hygi e ne ...... s s ociation, but was unabl e to com e to any basis for mutual coopNation.

The Connecticut Alumnae Clu b of PI B e ta Phi has s truggled through the yen r 1 922-1923. Th e word "struggled" Is used advisedly. for although w e have a list of seventy-eight (78) PI Phis living In Connecticut w e are so widely scattered that It seems Impossible to get together In adequa te number s.

'V e have h eld regular monthly meetings. f ou r In Hartford a nd four In New Have n from which c1Uel! and so me nearby t owns. the active m e mbe r ship Is drawn.

We held fo u r meetings with special programs. At the meeting with a. health program a member or the Slate Board of Health. Dr. Lamphere, spoke on "C hlld Hygiene". Mi ss Miller, with Settlement School s lide s was most Interesting at our Settlement School meeting.

THE: PARADE OF THE WOULD AND THE SOLDIERS OF PI BETA PHI

(\Vlth acknowledgments to Balleff and apologies to no one)

Her e we are again, roiling up our flags and putting them under our a rm s. blowing thp. last toot on our tin horns h eaving n. deep sigh of relaxntlon, and preparing to stent away home . Th e Parade ot the W ould and th e 'Vouldn't Soldiers of the 1922-1923 Alumnae Club has just passed. Unable to c hoose m)' "section de predilection" and handlcapPe<l withal by last year's rummage sa le !lhoe!!, I decided J would be no asset to the proces!!!lon. and 80 remained on the sid e- lines Mine Is the happy task to c hronicle the event, bring out the high lights as 1 have observed them nnd pass them on to our successors of next year to be equaled or surpassed. There were about ten sections In th e parnde. mad e up or marchers from the length and breadth or our talr land , breezy \Ves t e rn ers. sedate New Englanders, non c halant, attractive-spoken Southerners, hard-working New Yorkers tar away BraOklynItes. and even those fr om 'VestcheSler. Richmond and Queens, a motl ey throng, with J e rs ey lles sparsely pled. But In spite of the div e rgence of color. creed. and cia".!!. r wa!:l Impre8Hed by the Intereetlng pOint of contact between each marcher and every other one. Th ey were all tilled with memories ot Ihat dea r little gOat they on.:'e

rode, memories ot Horal'e. of Homer and of Xenophon, of higher mathematics (p('nce to their ashes!), ot ethlCIJ, ot psYChology and of logic, ot four happy years, the like ot which will never come again. They were Inspired with the eame idt"al, a higher. treer, and more cultured type ot womanhood, womanhood with the heart of the Puritan, the culture ot the GrecIan. and the moral a ot the Christian, ae someone hall w('11 said

The !<ectlons were mOl'lt Interesting on account ot their variety. Somewere serious, some gay, some educational, &Orne cultural, some 8ocial.

On the banner carried by one section r saw the wOrOs "Governor'lt Island ", a Hf'Ctlon leo by Mesclnmes Davidson and Jackson. Each marcher represented an episOde In the hl lJtory of that Il!!land. A$I J watched, 1 wondered If every onlooker was al!! Ignorant as I or the past of the Il!!land and Its men.

Another section wa s led by our Mra Brown. Her marcht"rll were dressed In green nnd red , decornted with holly and ml8tletoe nnd In the midst was Old Pelznlckel himself As they marched they !!!flOg Christmas carol8 of many lands, of "Ie petit Noel", 80 dear to the French heart, of the "Tannenbaum" of the Germans nnd ot our own Bethlehem Babe Krl8 Krlngle had a large pack on hhl pudgy back Into which were thrown from every direction toyS, mone y, books, and clothing tor our dear children ot the Little Pigeon

Then came the Metropolitan Museum Rectlon led by a well -k n<.own art lecturer This &ectlon had 8pent sn "Intirn/)" afternOon In our grent mnse llm, bf'lng given very In s tru cti ve close-ups of It III ex trem('lv rare and interesting trenl!!UreH. The enraptured gaze at these PI Phis I'1howed that the)" had gllmp!'cu the culture and art :Jt people s long ",I nee l>a1<sed Into the dust of time. I know thf"Y were wondering If, nfter all, w e have progressed In this pArticular field.

Our pre.-Ident came next with her flection. Sh e was assisted by JudgeSullivan, who had been Instructing the marchers on how to be more worthy Anlerlcnns and how to be most helpful to our torelgn brothers nnd whom we wish to bo loyal to our flag. He had In spired the women of the section with a love ot ollr Confltitutlon and n 8tern senl!<c at re st)O nslblllty for Its maintenanc e such as they had n eve r f elt. One halt or the section was In chnrge of Miss Miller and pOrtrayed the progress of our Settlement School from Its In cep tion to the present with spedal emphasis on Its and Idt'als. It Ind eed have thrilled every PI Phi not only with pride but also with pUl"pOtle thAt the work 80 nobl y 1<hall be carried untiringly forward 'Vhat though we rack our brains and weary our brawn In our frantic attemptl!l to finance thla worthy cause--that we coax, cajole and coerce th e Innocent pasller-by to buy our cardfl, candy and cast-otrs. our ncrrumf'!!I. pungentI'! anJ The end Justifies the means: Ilnd what gT'"at"r ('IHI8(> could our etfort!( than that ot tellchlng tho"'4> deprived of the finer things of life how Lo get the things the)- ought teo want.

Following thelle sections came others presenting a Russian dance muIIlc by Brahms, several singers, artists, civic welfare enthuslast8, cookyI'!hlnerfC merry and gny, and pnle-faced rummnge-saiers, vlctlm:- ot man V' n night, all these complementmg the other lIertinns and, n8 It we r e. adding sr l ce to an otherwlfie heavy menu

In accumulatln« funda for the Settlement SchOOl, n spirit of rivalry was fostered by dividing the Alumnae Club InlO seven geographic dhHrictM, each district being under a district chairman. who waR Imbued with the Idea of capturing ftrst honors for her district. Through the medium or cnrd parties nnd personal contributions, this work was successfully carried out. A sub· stantial sum was also realized from the lIlLie of Chrlstmll.H cards. lUI In pre · ceding years.

The February club meeting was held In Swarthmore, after which the Pennsylvania Alpha chapter conducted Its Initiation ceremonies.

The annual Founders' Day lun c h eon marked the culmination of the )'ear's activities and was held at the Longacre hotel, Philadelphia . Kale B.

The year 1922-1923 hal!! been a very successful and Interesllng one for the Pittsburgh Alumnae Club. This )'ear the number of members attending meetings has been Increased over that or other years. By InaUgUrating the 1}lan or having an Informal luncheon before the regular business meeting we have found that the number attending has been greatly Increased.

This year the Alumnae Club has been able to do more for Pennsylvania than ever before. By helping them financially the active girls were able to secure a. vcry attractive, three-roomed apartment whi c h has been a very great help to them In their rushing

The annual bridge for the benefit or the Settlement School was held at McGreerY'8 dining room, Saturday afternoon, February 17 At this bridge $209.57 was cleared. Through th e sale of the Christmas cards slxU' dollars ndr1lt1onal was added. H oweve r, due to the f act that the active chapter was greatly in need or financial support from the alumnae c lub In order to maintain their apartment It wu dpclded to send but one hundred dollars of this monel' to the Settlement School and to put the rest of It In the house fund for the chapter. This action wal!! thought neceflsary because of the Inrge number or girls graduating thltt year and the f ew who will retul'n to schoo l next fall.

Founders' Day was celebrated with a luncheon at the Fort Pllt hotel. About fort)' members (rom the club and the entire active chapter were present to celebrate the flfU'-slxth anniversary of the founding of our fraternity.

This year the club was particularly fortunate In having as one of Its members, Miss Francese Evans, Grand Secretary or Pi Beta Phi. who was att('ndlng the Carnegie in stitute of Technology.

The active chapter Is planning to keep the apartment open all summer. A benetit bridge for the hou se fund Is planned for someti me In Jui)'.

The Pittsburgh Alumna e Club takes this opportunity of sending greetings to nil other alumnae clubs and to welcome all Pi Phis in the vicinity to its meetings.

W e sent two hundred dollArs to the Settlement School again this )'ear. the moner having been earned by menns of a rummage sa le. \Ve try, so far as possible, to earn our mon ey In one big drive , as most ot our girls hnve so many locnl charities, clubs, etc demanding their tim e, It seems best to co n· centrale on one big erfort early in lh o fall for Pi PhI. Because of the dlf· flcult les attending the tinding of a suitable room for rummage sa les, W i! expect to try some other plan tor rai Si ng our Quota thle year.

We have alread)' started a PI Phi card club, meeting once a month, t o earn Se ttlement School mon ey. Each m embe r pays (Ifty cents n meeting.

Our meetings this yenr ho.ve consisted of six bUSiness meetings, af ternoon tea affairs, thr ee cook y ·shlnes , evening parties, and One card party honoring PI Phi husbands and trl ends.

W e have been fort una te In r eceiv ing se,'eral new Pi Phis this winter, whose amllation has been doubly. wel co m e, to us because many or the older members have moved to other places.

ot the Club, s he is unable to attend the meetings on account of h e r press work, whic h keeps her busy at night.

Although thi s reelection caused a little delay, It was not long before the Club was in good running order. Our first tlnanclal venture was the sellinI' of Christmas cards and novelties, tram Mrs. Gutgesell, to help make up our Settlement School Pledge. We cleared $61.06 trom the sale of these artlclcs. In March we had n. benefit card party and cleared $90.60. Together with the money raised and the money r eceived from pledges, The Rkhmond Club has contributed $250.00 to the Settlement School and $10.00 each to the Loan Fund and Fell ows hip Fund. We have al80 sent a present to each of our two n earest Chapters, namel y Virginia A and Virginia n

We are so glad to have Miss Gertrude Beggs back with us this yea r after her two )'ears' furlough, which she spent In China.. MI8S Deggs has had many Interesting things to tell the Club and our only regret Is that more of you could not en joy her with us.

'Ve are 'very fortunate In having Mrs Ra yne r BrinkleY, Gamma Prcsldent, as a member ot OUT club. Through Mrs Brinkley, we are able to keep In touch with the active Chapters In our province.

Our Found e rs' Day celebration this yea r was In the torm of a. lun c heon h e ld on Satur(lay, April 2'1, at the Mortar lnn This little Inn I s quite a delightful place for a luncheon and is situated about five mil es ouuslde of Richmond On the Thrcc-Chopt Road. The members motored out at onethirty on Saturday and although the weather was rather gloomy , It (lId not dampen our spir its and everyone seemed to enjoy herself Immen sely. A very c harming letter from Mrs. Nickerson was read at the luncheon.

The Richmond Club has no definite plans for the summer, but we are looking forward to the fall, wh e n we will resume our meetings

Frank Kes!lenlch where the members enjoy a picnic supper on thE: lawn. The meetings are always well attended nnd Interest shown In the artlvltles ot the chapter.

During the paal year the club has lUI fo:- the Settlement School by selling Mrs. Gutgesell's ChrlstmaK ca rds and by having the Service Shop. Every year tor th e past three or tour years the PI Phi Alumna! have been renting the Service Shop fOr one day durIng the yenr. Every m<!mber contributes all the clothes and household articles they have no turther use for and also two new articles. This Is a sp lendid way to raise mOney and It helps the poor and gives U8 a use for our old things.

This yE-ar Founders' Day was celebrated on Monday April 23, with the active chapter and the alumnae at the chaPter house. Burret supper waH served and the usual plea8ant time was enjoyed when the actives and the alumnae met and became better acquainted. The celebration was held on the 23 thts year Instead ot the 28 as the actives celebrated it on that date with the Beloit chapter at Beloit and It was on the 28 the alumnae worked at the Service Shop.

The alumna! keep In close relationship with the active chapter through an advisory board composed ot three alum nil! member8. The chaperon Is aaked to several ot the meetings throughout the year and gives us her vIewpoInt ot how the chapter Is getting along. Our Grand President Miss Amy B. Onken, was here this spring for several days and met and talked with the advisory board.

'J'he meetings end thi s sum mer with new Ideas and plans for the com· ing )"l!Rr.

Meetings have bee n h e ld once a month throu ghout the yea r at the home of one of the memb e r s at the c lub Th e t o rm a t entertainment, whether luncheon, bridge or mu s ical , being l e ft to discretion of the hostes8.

Just as last year th e two most Impo rtant o bj ec tives ot the club have been th e Settlement S c hool and the active c hapter, T e xa s B , at Southern ::\f et hodi 8t University.

lo"or the Settlement School money hns been rai sed by means at n ChrlstmM bazaar whi c h netted $100 trom lh e flale at articles mad e and con tributed by alumnae club members nnd the sfile of bask ets, brooms and ru gs sent from th e Settlement School.

and through It the alumnae club and active c hapter were brought Into closer l ouch with much cOOperative work accomplished.

A gold PI Phi recognition pin Is given each year by the alumnae club to the PI Phi freshman ot the nell va chapte r making th e highest grades. Another action tak e n by th e clu b was the decision to prescnt a sliver loving cup which Is to go to th e soro rity In Southe rn Methodi s t Univcnity having the highest scholarship each year.

Found e r s ' Dn)' meeting was a very delightful one. The club entertained the nctive chap ter with a cooky - shine held at the University gymnasium and the acllve chaPler staged a rare treat In vaudeville which united sixty PI Phi s In peals ot laughte r and thrills or surprise.

One alumnae member, :Mrs. F. T. Buss, Is giving much ot her time to voluntee r w ork with th e Child Guidance Clinic. Through her suggestion ev('ry week during the summer two memb e rs from the active chap t e r and three club membe r s nrc giving some r ecreation entertainment to the childr en trom th e Clinic. During the winter the active chnple r and the club hope to cooperate In some way to continue this work.

Cluh are three told, the Settlement School, the neareSl chapter, and loe Intelligent collaboration which outstanding men and women or Tacoma hay!! given at the monthly assemblies.

Little Pigeon Is ot CQUrMe the chief raison d'etre of the club. This year, for tho support or the School, Mrs. Novelty Book was circulated and sixty-fivE' dollars was c l eared . Heretofore lhe spring drive has been eon('enlr :1ted on a large bridge tea. tut this year the social attractions of such nn event were foregone and a rummage sale substltutell. It will lake place In May and all Tacoma PI Phis are antlcipntlng the donation of their w inter wardrobe tor the cause. Ten cents Is co ll ected from each member at the also n twentY-five cent laxl bill tor all driving In PI Phl cars to and from meetings. The same amount Is given as a tine tor an Inexcusable absence. Many members personally ral se money through C'rlglnru methods. In March, the Rotarians, who held a. convention here, unwittingly contrIbuted by having their payment t or room and board In PI PhI home$ ('onfiscated for Ihe Fund. Ruth Slurley, a tormer teacher at conducts the program annually in the Interests or Little Plg£'on nnd re-creates our mental picture of the S('h':)oJ.

Ou r second Interest, the nearest chapter, is 'Vas h lngton A, at the University of Washington, In Seattle. l\!any ot the alumnae scnt neool" work to the annual Bazaar at the Washington Annex tn Seattle. The Holiday Tea held In Tacoma between Christmas and New Year was devoted to the acUve chapter. Eight girls were sent to meet the a l umnae and tell at the problems and achievements, A new home Is contemplated and a sum at money was voted to buy a bond to help the enterprise. At present we are raising money through 8Pecla l levy to present some girt,

The third element Is the program presented monthly U\rough intereSting workers In many activities In town.

The Los Angeles Alumnae Club has just completed a mosl 8Ucce88tul )' ear. When Jtirs. Parr, who has been our very efficient president tor the past year, came Into oftlce, our treasury was sadly depleted; but not only hav e we closed the year with nil bills paid, but also money In the treasury. 'Va are all grateful to Mrs. Parr for her able leadership and untiring energy In working for the club.

With the opening or school last fall, the active chapte r was faced with the problem ot secu ring a new home, since the old PI Phi house had been flo ld, and the new owners desired possession. Tt was a big problem, but through the combined effOrts of the members or the active chapter and the alumnae club, we are occupying a lovely large house, desirable In every way. and are negotiating for the purchase ot it. 'Ve are thoroughly proud of our chapter house, and it has been a great Inspiration to us in raising money both for th e purcha se ot It and for the ext ra furniture necessary. It was for the purpose of rai s ing money for our house tund, that we held our Pi Phi bazaar, last December. Both the active chapter and the alumnae clu b worked for Ita success, and under the able supervision or Mrs. Donald l;·orker (Captoln. Breyley, Wi sco nsin A). we cleared over $800.

A little different procedure has been followed this past year In regard to our monthly m eetings. which have taken the form ot luncheon" at the chapter house. followed I)' business meetings in the afternoon. The hosteSl!es tor these various occasions have been c hosen according to their p r ovInces, thus simplifying the matter ot grOUPing. A charge ot 60 cents was made tor the luncheon, and a hostesa tee paid by each hostess on the day her prov in ce was In charge. This Is one ot the things that has put us on a firmer financial basi s, since we were able to clear 80methlng on each or our meetings, The proceeds ot one meeting went to the Settlement School, one to the acUve girls for house furnishings, and the bAlance Into the treasury to care for our bills.

Our contribution to the Settlement School this year was $561 . Three hundred at this amount came trom the sale of Christmas cards. Mrs. PearlIa11 Is the one to whom 0.11 credit III due for the seiling ot these, and she has given unsparingly ot her time and energy to this matter.

It has always been a source or great Inconvenience, that our phone number, until this past year, has been under the name of our chaperone, instead ot PI Beta PhI. due to the great extra expense of having it under our own name. The active chapter f elt they could not take care ot this dltference. 80 at the flrst alumnae last tall, It Wtul declded that we would as"ume this obligation ench month, and it has been a JOY not only to UI resid ent PI Phis, but more especially to the guests within our gates. to have our phone listed under our own name.

Our Founders' Day banquet this year was held at the new "Mar y Louise," and was the most successtul ever held. One hundred and slxty PI Phis from Los Angeles and e nvirons were present. The tlnal affair or each

A meeting each munth during the winter brought the PI Phi Alumnae together with a majorit y attendance. Because Atlanta 115 a taet growln, city the rneml'lerahlp Is not at all lStatlonary or unchanging and new member. are constantly learning a new value In fraternity friendship.

Founders' Day came during Grand Opera week 80 the banquet. a lun· cheon at a downtown hotel. was held a week earlier. At that meeting n wae turned over to the Fellowship Fund aand voluntary subacrlptlon. Of 177.8& given towards the Settlement School. A bride, Mra. Herbert Coons, entertained us at a tea In February. Our 8peclal meeting In April was a cooky-ehlne at the home at' Mrs. Henry, hostess to Mre. Brinkley. our Province President. who made til!! all feel like college glrle again and whom we hope to have visit us in the future. In May when the roses were bloomIng, we drove out to East Lake to a picnic at Mrs. Burton'l!I home. Election or otllcen was h eld and a "kitchen ehower" tor Dodo White who wall married On June 20. to Mr. Robert Prichett McLarty, a young Atlanta attorney.

In appreciation or Mrs. Roblnson'e work as President and for many yeara director of the Atlanta Child's Home, her husband. who died in July, gave the elte and building tor the association's new home. In this work our alumnae will no doubt take an acUve part. though our chlet interest Is stili the Settlement School. Glfta totaling over half a million dollare have recently been made by two Atlantlans for education. F our collegee, Georgia. Tech., Oglethorpe. Emory and Agnes Scott are practically In Atlanta.

Our sympathy also goes out to Mrs. Fitzhugh who has given up her work as psycho logy teacher at Agnes Scott because or the sudden death or her mother Ilnd sister as she was about to join them at the close of the echool year. Sybil Callahan. atter a yea r spent at Agnes S cott College. has gone back to Oklahoma to tench. We are happy, however, to welcome Mrs Rhudy, a recent bride from Florida B. as a member for the coming year.

We hope to henr glowing reports of conventio n In the next Arrow a.nd are only too sorry that some of us cou ld not attend. Plans for the year are not ye· outlined, but we foresee many intereste crowding tor our attention. With Mrs Call. Mrs. Coolidge.
