REPORTS OF O FF IC E R S
REPOltT MESSAGE OF TilE GRA1'W PRESIDENT
To the Pi Beta Phi Fraternlty;-
It is with very renl sorro w nnd with n sense of irreparable 1088 that Pi Beta. Pbi, during the past year, bas mourned the death of two of its dearly loyed founders, Ada Bruen Grier lind Rosa Moore. Pi Bero PhI counts ns tlle greatest contributing factor to\Yurds its pt'esent strength .. Dumcl'irolly, intellectually and spiritually. the fact thnt its I!'ounders have Ih'eu the ideals which, from the earliest days of r. C. until now, they ha.e h eld before tbrlr frntel"nity. The death of these two brings to u.s all a renewed se nse of the obligation which WP have to I}P worthy of these women whose llyes of unseltIsh sen'ice are n c ballenge to the best in each of us, and makes us cherish even more tenderly than before the living Founders who are such a constant inspiration to us .
The Fraternity hus rejoiced with its distinguished member, Grace Goodhue Coolidge, upon the accession by ber llusbarld to the Presiden cy of the United States; ba s felt a keen pride In the gracious, wholly <"flJ)able WRy in which s he has filled her difficult position as First IAidy of the Land; and has sba.red her sorrow in the death of a beloved son. May the affectionate pride which every Pi Beta Phi has not only In her position but in her character and personality be a Source ot comfort and strength to the Nation's FirSt Lady! Pi Beta Pbi is indebted to Mrs. Cuolldge for the prIvilege of giving to the White House the lovely Howard Chandler Christy portrait and for the exceptional courtesies shown to the members of the fraternity at the time of the pl·esentation.
One of the most outstanding el'ents of the year has been the Wnshington Conference whell morc than l:lOO Pi B e ta Phis met to discuss fraternity pl'oblems nnd to enjoy association together. It is not posslbie to estimute the importnllce and the influence of this lnspiratiOOlli gnthE'ring-together nor to express the appreciation which we have for tbe 'Vashlngton Alumna! club and for Co lumbia A for the never-tobe-forgotten experience mnde possible by their vision nnd by their desire and nbil1ty to make that vIsion a reality.
The Grall{\ Council expresses Its grate.!ul ind ebted n ess to the ofticel'$ and committi!e members who hav e gino such teltbful:, efficient sef\'lce to the fraternity during the past year.

As a lways, the atttmtion of the fraternity Is called to the splendtC 'bnnncial condition of the national treasury e.s well as ot that for the SetUement F'chool. There seems little possibility for doubt that Pi Betn Phi bas the most sound financial standing of any woman's traterntty and that shp is a formidable rh'rul for most men's fraternities, with her Arrow Endowment Fund of $93,000, her Fellowship Fond of $7,()(X), her Loan Pund of $1,500, her Chapter House Loan Fund of $5,000, her Settlement School Endowment of $10,000, and her Settlement School propel'ty Imd equipment vnluro tit more than $30,()(X), We sho uld rememt>er gratefully the L.

Emma Hnrper Turner, former Grand PreSident, was Inspired with the idea of a ' between-com'entions conference and was ably aided and abetted by the 'Vashington PI PhJs in ca rrying it through to undr e amed-of s u ccess. In the mind of Katherine 'l'myer Barnes of Concord, N. H., was born the-idea of Pi Beta Phi's giving a portrait of Mrs Coolidge In llPpreciation of the distinction won by rt wearer of the arrow.
]u June, 1923 , COIl\'entlon endorsed the Washington club's r eco mmendutlon thnt n' co nfe ren ce be held in " Vashington months before anyone knew that Mrs. Coolidge would be In the \Vblte H o u se and plans w ere well uuder way before she became F'irst Lady of the Land. It was .Jnnuary, 1924 that Kath e rine Tower Banles wrote the Grand Vice· presid ent bel' suggestion about our givIng the portro:lt and our thought.s did not fiy ahead at once to t.llc Conterenee as the appropriate time for its presentarion. In tact n o such thought as a public presentation entered the hend s of Grand Co un cil untIl it was borne in u po n them that with the aSSUrfincc of so PI Phis being In Wa shington at the snme time Fate hnd made this an appropriate time for the presentatlon. 'rhen, too, Mrs. Coolidge exvressed tbe wish that every Pi 1-'hl cou ld see it! and the 'Washington Pi Phis had mad e arrangements with Mrs. Coo lidge months before for the Pi Phis to be received while in WashIngton, so whot could be more opportune? HQppo r t un e" i s the word to be used all through this whol e affair of the portrait. Mrs. Barnes' l etter reoched the Grand Vk-e-presldent January 5, after the holiday ru s b , \vhen the subject could have ' right ot way.' Grand Council's henrty endorsement was 800n ga'ined, aid 80ltclted of Mrs. Wallace. who wos right on the spot In Washington , the consent of President and Mrs. Coolidge easily won (It the giving would not be a burden); Mr. nnd Mrs. Chr isty quickly embued with our enth usi asm, the commiSSion

The aunua} wL>etlng of the Grnnd Council was beld at the Settlement School In GaUlntJUrg, ' l'elluessee, May 24-30, 1024.
In order that business needing hnmedillte attention might be disposed ot, the final matters In counection with the purchase of the Christy portrait, were first colHddered. The ddinlte price of till! portrait was dpterlllined, omi It was flecided that ony contrlbuUons coming ill above that SUIll sho uld be addl.'d to the Grace Goodhue Coo lidge Fund. 'l'be Grand Vice-President WflS appointed to settle uny questions lhut might arise oollet!l'n lng the copyrights of the painting,
It was voted that not.es of thanks tor the froternlty be scnt to MI 'S , Coolidge for h er gracious h ospitality ond to the 11ll'IlII)1'rs of the W ash lngton Alumnre cJub who so successfully executed the ohms tor the Eastern Conference.
Consideration was next given to the Illlllun i I'cportR of Ilutlollul and provlnee otJicers, and of standing committee
It was wIth much regret that the Grand Co uu cll lIC'Cepted at this time the r cslgnntlo ll 01 Mary Uayner Brinkley, GOllllllll Province President. and Jennie Howell Hradlce. clUlirmun of tbe rnd ergrudULlte 1...08u Fund, both of whom bave been voluE'<1 contributol'S to the natiOnal work of the fl'Uternlty and bOl' e gh'en gcucrously of their interest and their ('trorts.
UecommendaUolis and suggestions included in the reportR were IIOt a<.'Ccpt.ed. with tbpw, but W('re tuken up separ6te ly. Gran(l Counell \'oted to adopt the recommendation of the Cataloguer that each chapte r Initiate should have a definite number 011 the c hapter reCOrd curdS, this uumbet- being, so for fiS poSSible, that correspolldlng to the order of her inltitltlou tnto the chaPter, so that, ufter Ul e system is in working order, the number of the latest Initiate shall always be that of the tolU l number of members initiated Into that cbaptcr. 'rhe order of Initiation Rhould be (lctermined by reference to the Signatures to the constitution. Since some chapters moy not have accurnte records showing the order in whic h members hn\"e been initiated, these chapters sho uld number members nccol'dlng to the ypul' of initiation up to the yeur wh e n a<.'C urate records are 8\-ailable. The Council wlslled to remLnd each Chllptcl' of thE! Lmpol,'tance ot carefully protecting Its book of signatures to thp ConsUtuUon.
The Grnnu Council recommended that -aU cbol,ters havIng Record Books keep them up to date wIth persona l datu, Rnd that each chapter which has not received. such n ' book, keep a permanent alphal>edcnl record, preferably 6: ' card fUe, foJ' such Inforlllation concerning its JUembers, , .
Motion carried. that tbe 'tItle of Mailing Clerk should be changed to that of blrc u lation Man'ogel'. ' ' 'rhe Council expressed ' its endorsement ot the sugges't1on that 'during · th e foUowlng year an eft'ort towdrd the COIUI)letion or the FellO\vship Fund be sel'lously eluphaslzed ' ,

A motlon carried that the maximum nnnual loon to Individunls trom the Undergraduate Loon FUlll1, be raised to $200.00. It was furl h er voted tltut the {;ndergraduate Lonn Fund Committee regulaUoll be c hanged 80 as to provide tbnt interest on loons from said Fund, be paid by Ind iv ldunl s from the time of thel r le,l\'1ng college.
A motton was passed to the etrect that tile Convention Mmdc Direc· tor be u member of the Music Committee from tbe time of her appoint· ment through the perIod of next com'ention when memberShip in all stunding committees, E'x<.'ept the settlement schoo l committee, expires. 'l'he Grand CounCil wished to express its appreciation of tbe offer of tbe New York AlullHHl' Club to present n circulating annual cup tor the best fraternity song collt l'lbuted during enc h J<'I11', and recomlUended that the prize song be one of general and lnsting fraternity Intel'est ruther than one wIth a passing convention themp.
It was voted thnt the cup n wnrded annually for the best st unt subm lt u><'l during the yeflr to the Socinl Exchange Committee, be n permanent rather than n cJrculating one, and the Grand Trensurer was appoLnted to make arrnngt!luents for the purchase and presentation ot the trophy to l,1-'Iorldn A , winner or the prize tor 1923·1924.
The Grund Council authorized the purchnsing or steel cabinets tor the tiles or the HI storian nnd of udoquntc office equipment tor meUibent or the Conncll.

The report of the Cha irman ot the Extension Committee proved tilat 80 many applIcations for charters hod come in from groups formed in Teachers' Colleges In which national pedagogiC traternitIes exist, that the Grand Council f elt It necessary to i ss u e n definite statement to the e1fect that, in Its oIdnlon, PI ll e ta Phi Is bound by National Panhe.llenle Congress' agreement with the ASSOC iation of Pedagoglcnl Sororities not to consider 'reachers' Colleges ps a legitimat e field for Its exteuslon.
Cnretul consideration was g iven to the applying groups whleh had met the prellminury requirements tor admission Intu PI Betu Phi and and suggesUo ns tor future action In the case o'f each w e re ouUlned tor the Committee on ExtenSion.

The forms used by th e Extension Committee were thoroughly gone over and a few necessary changes were made.
('sing the Informntlon obtained from the reports of the Province I'l'esidcnts, the visiting Council members, various committee chairmell and th e annual r eports submitted by the c hapters, the Grand Council mude a thorough study of each chapter, In thp great majority of cases, the results of this comprehensive summarizing were most satisfactory, but In each instance where a chapter [pll below the overage at the fraternity, Jts wea kn esses were onolyz<'d and on etrort was mode to s ug gest nnd plan fur r emedia l measures.

OF THE C' IIAIJDLlX (H' SClmOT, CO MMI '!'! 'EE
'1'0 G-"antJ Counf"i/:
This Y('ll 'r hns been u 1II 0st tr 'yillg one to eYer) Olh.' connected with the School. The ell forced Ul)8{'Oc'e of Mrs. Hugg and Mi ss Stuart's being Ilbrond threw the burden of the work u)lon Mrs. Curti&, Miss Bishop, Mrs. Turner I1l1d myself. It was doubly hnrd OU Mrs. Turner as sbe felt as I did last year, not huving been to the School t.hat her opinion was not or mu c h yalue. This year Grand Coull('il will appoint the n ew members ahead ot time in o rder that if possible they may be at the committee meeting, thU!i ellab lLng the committee to work with greater effic iency.
Our letting the ten{'her of domestic arts go before we had obtained the Smith·Hughes Domestic Science appropriation proved to be a tragedy. }"or months we went without a domestic science teacher as notUi catioll of our failure to secure this nid came so late that it was Impossible to get a domestic science teacher. In order, however, to keep up port of tbat work we hnd a former pupU, Allie Ownby, conduct the weaving Her work proved to be quite successful.
During our annunl fair Mr lI attU infected his hand wblch caused him to be out of school for some time. The erectio n of the barn by Jim

reuovating of t he cottages, coupled with the breakdown of the Deleo system find the pump engine and tbe enforced absence of Miss Hlgglnbotham, nU made the 8trRIn on Miss Bishop ",ery bard . 'Ve had Jllnn ued to hAve tor her an assistant in the clerical department but we could pre \'fl il upon 110 o n e to a('cept it,
In spite of nIl tbls we ba\'e conducted school with ]51 pupils tn the regular tnshton nnd in a most encoUl'aging way . The 81}lrit of tbe overworkNJ. tea cbers weB flne. We hnd six teachers 011 tile stair, most ot tb{'m did their school work, had to help with the cooking part of tbe time and dn other things never before required of them . Not one complaint did wc hear from them nnd they tlid tb e ir' tafolks with a zenl that ('ould 1I0t IJe equalled. The se\'eutb, eighth, ninth nnd lenth grndes 'wd 11 full nlne months term ot school. The other grades w e re dlsml sscd earlier us hnd been plnnned by lust year's committee.
Tho barn Is cO lllpletc<.l. I felt atter my visit th('re that tbere were necessary changes to be mnde in the co n st ru ctio n or the baru, in order to c ut tbe expense, Some things wbl c b w e lett out could bave been helpful to lessen tbe work but us we were building this bam tor ft model, we felt we should not equip it too completely as it wus 1m· possible for e \·eryone to follow our plan In that way.
Roth the Stuart find Pollard cottages were remodeled to m("('t adequate ly the needs of the Scbool. 'rbese nrc now hom e-li ke, comtOrtable and practicnl. 'l'bey are both used llS gll'ls' dormitories. We have rented the Blgglnbotbam·Blshop Cottage lor a boys' dormitory, which was Inst yeaT presided over by Mrs. a J[ J) 4>. 'Ve placed 11ew furniture in tbe lIying room of the 'l'encbel'S' Cottage, also new beds, using the old beds in the dormitories fer the girlS. Tn every ('Ottage, flS well os the bos'pital, we installed a heating plant that In tuture yenrs could be connected witb n central hoot!ll:': plnnt. Besides doing thts, the S c hool conducted on annual tail' whlcb would lio credit to any thriving community, The old board walk from the School to the road W8S replaced by u cement walk.
t teel that In my report the next step to dis cuss Is our future polley. This year 1 shall to tbe co mmittee that we use Gatlinburg as a. center ond in tbe futur e supply feeder schools turth e r back In the mounlnl118, such " S Sugnrlands, Baskins, and others. DurIng the past year the county board hus asked several times tor us to go up Into tbe Sugnrlnnds to IHl\'e 8('bool and it is my earnest hope thnt with the 8sslstan <.'e ot th e Sugnrlnnds people we rouy open a school there this tall. I should like. It possible, to add one m ore year of s c hool work tor the pupils and nine-months term f or nIl.
Tn Miss Chew's report ot last an ull.':roded class In whlcb the tea c hers could look after students who In years were above tbe grade they were tn. '1'11ts would encourage them to come to school and do away with tbe embnrrflssment or being In n ClUBS below their years.

Since last November, Ontario A has bcen Inlormally ,'Islted at different times throughout the )'ear. New YOI'k A and New York 4 were visited In Februa,·y, Maine A, )'lassachusells A, Vermont A, Vermont 8 and New York r In November. 1 have many happy memories as I recall each of thCHC visits. J was most courteous l y received Into the n'I' tumll)' eve r·ywhere I went, nnd 1 hope the friendships I have tormed will be lasting ones,
The love tor "Alma Mater" is very apparent In the Alpha: Province chapters. Il gave nle great pleasure t o this, and to know the collegcs through this e nthusiasm and interest. The inten'lews wIth the taculty members were vel·Y salisractory. In many Deans spoke ot the sp l end id Influence of fraterliity wamt' n In the college lit e nnrl pra1soo Pi B eta Phi's share In It. 1 find that cach chapter cArr-les off a good many at the coll ege honors with to pxc('utive positions, ]n three collegcs, Pi Phis lead women's student government associations: In three, women' s edito r ial work i s managed by PI Phis; in one, a II <t' Is president of women's dramaUc club; In another, president of the outing club; In anothl!r, the president of th e Y.

Besld('s these positions, man )' class offices, nnd other executive pOSitions In VArious college societies are capably filled b)' PI Be:ta Phis, The r cspo nslblll tlC's of office-holding see m to be realiZed and p!'operly met In every case.
'rhe national Ideals and standards of n R<I> nre nn integra l part of the life or the girls of this province. At I was disappointed that th ey were not more actively displaying th<.:lr Interest in the national lite, but I tound In most caRes the response Is most eager when the 8uhject was broached and the fault pointed out,
Every chapter Is striving most earnestly to attain the highest scholar.llip level. In Vermont B thl. 18 particularly noticeable, Vermont A and

N e w YOI'k .1 w e re th e only two c har'ters in the province to stand flrst In scho larship rating on th e campus.

I have not ye t received r eport s about elec ti o n s to other senior honorary sOCieties throughout th e provlu ce. The scholars hip committ ees In each chapte r are doing a great deal to rai se t he locnl sch olarship standards.

Some of th e se niors are Int t. rested in the Id c a of teachi ng In th e School, 80 perhaps Aill ha Provin ce will have a lurge r r ep re sen tation at Little Pigeon n e xt year.
I do not f ee l that I have been success ful In bringing th e Health Progl 'am to the attention a nd Interes t at the c ha pte rs. I found that the Unive r sity at Vermont In Burlington had th e greates t interes t In the subj ect, 80 I am h oping that the 1"1 B e ta Phi Health Program may mak e a good sta'Tt ther e. I hope to have a definite program w o rked out t o r this province 800n. I kn o w that I can coun t on everyone of th e- eight c hapt e rs to h e lp mak e It effective.
I have been " c ry pl eased with the fine spirit of cooperation In th e c h apters' relations to m e.

'Ve have atte mpted to obtain a provincia l unity thi s year. Some of th e chapters are very i solated, and would b e n e fit a great d e al b y vi s it s from other Pi Phis. Invitations to Initiator y Banqu e ts h ave b ee n se nt b y eRc h c hapter to others In this dlstl'lct but it WIl-'S Impossible in c.'1.l'Ies for th e m to be accepted. I had hoped to be at th e ,"Va s hlngtoll Confe r e n ce, and t o have a provin ce gathering there. This was out of the qu c stlon f o r me, but I f ee l sure that the spJendlu r ep res e ntati o n of Alpha Province at that Conter c nce will m ean r enewed e nthusiasm and great e r love fot n <1>.
The relations he tw ee n alumn a! c .lubs Rnd active c hapters are very fine. A good deal of crec1it t'or this is due to the al11mnro advisory co mmittees. They make a v e r y s trong link between th e two. Som e alumnrn c lubs are working for h ouses for th ei r chapte r s, others are encouraging sc holarship by otrering prizes in va'rious wa ys. Three of the c ha p ters live in c hapter hou se s. and of th e-se , two are owned and man age d b y th e alumn le clubs conce rn e d, Th e third i s r ented and man age d by th e active cha p t e r
Panh elle ni c r elations are good Th e r e hav e b ee n a few slight di s turbances, but at prese nt things are running smoothly, At the Unive r s it y of V e. rm o nt. second semester rushing a 'nd pledg ing ha s b ee n tried out, and ha s evidently proved It Is to be h o p e d that th e ranhell en l c will soo n mean m Ore than th e making o C r ule s to keep eac h o th e r in c h ec k.
Jnternal organiza.tlon Is spl end id In the c h apters of Alpha Provi11 C(>. Th e orr lcers ar c bus ln e SB-lIke and ea rn es t, and th e whole c hapte r In each case conduc t s Its c h a.p t e r life on an ex tr e m e l y well organized b asis.

It was my good (ortunc to begin this 30'('81"8 work by attending the In'itnllation ot ou r n ew chapt e r, North Carolina A, and how happy w e w e r e to w(')come this 8plendld group ot girls Into Gamma Province. The Inslall:t · lion conducted by our Grand was a source oC great Inspiration and at COUi'8e the three days spent at. the University ot North carolina were roost enjoyable.
North Carolina A has done remarkably fine work and It.

The spirit of unity and cooper ation In chapter lite has been splendid. Chapter presidents have r eported thel r groups 815 being very depelldab l e In taking
As a whole the relation between chapters anel alumnm has bee n ver)' fln e May I 8ay that I teel no active chapter cun get along without alumntl! 8upport. It is true that there are arguments on both side s but wh y not put aside J)+:rsonal feelings and work for the benefit ot the chaJ)ter and th e national frat ernity. I want to ma'ke a plea to all atumnre to keep In tou ch with your ncares t chapte r.
'I'he girl'! need and want your help and advice but they will not COme to you if you arc a stranger. Do not hold something against n chapter which mny have happen e d years ago. Do not go ove r to the c hap t er hOllse once a year and e xpect t h e girl::! to grf!e t you like an old friend.
Alumnm! Just what you put Into 1I't> ),ou will get out of it and it I s up to you to go half way
Then there II:! the other side. A c tiv e chapters must be courteous anel cordlnl to aillmme. They must not tak e them for granted and expec t them to do things, without sho win g proper appreciation.

Of the four chap t E'ril living In houst's, fowa r and Missouri A own their own housE'S and are very comfortably and co nvcnlcnlly located In attractive homes which are well suited for <.'iHl.pter lire, Iowa Z and Iowa B live In rented huusell which are not entirely satisfactory, Jowa Z expecllng to make a (:hange for next year if a better can be found as the rent Is very high and they do not want to Sign anothp.r five :'o'eAr l en:se on It A house tund has been started within the last two or three )'cars, and ooth the alumnlB and active chapter are doing their best to mak e It grow, They have two or three th ousand dollars In th e bank Irnd (tulte a. bit more pledged to the fund.

I t eel that Iowa A would be m\lch better orr It they were permitted to have a chapte r h ouse as the donnltor:'o' accommodates th e freshmen, and only a tew upper class girls, the rest are scattered wherever they can find roo m s, the men's fraternities live In houses, It is possible th at permission could be obtained for th e women's rraternltles.
Very few difficult s itu ations have been reported to me this year and I t ee l that th e chapter. haw- been do In,:: their best to live ull to standard or lo ya lt y to th e ir co ll eges, their fraternity and to each other.

I believe the chapters in this prOvince have a good national vi e wpoint, considering th e geographical location.

'\Vben they r e turn trom Convention they talk about it and Its lIlany phases. Consequently Convention becomes the goal of ambition ot' many undercla88men The delegates and visitors from this province make the trip together and thus province ties are formed and fri endships cemented.

'I'IIE ARIlOW OF PI BETA PHI
J hope to become acquainted with this club during the coming year, both through their letters and th e ir "works , " So tar I have received onc letter The Southw.'!stel'n India na C lub has a s mall and scattered m e mbership coverIng a or fifty or elxtr miles from Evansville. This club hilS made a flne and prompt response always, due In large meafmre, 1 am sure, to the faithfuln ess o C a tew I5tnunch members. Th e lndlanal)olls c lub hall the Jargeflt membership by tar of any club In Delta Province. Alumnre from tho four Indiana chapters and about l'Welve chapterl! out ot the state are represented. The club raised over $800 lor the S e ttlement Schoo l this year and the tund tor the Indiana r chapter hou se Is more than $700 and steadily Increasing, 'rhe annual Founders' Day lun c heon was this year, as usual, a. state r eunion , and It would b e tlPlendld It we might make It a province reunion next year and have with Uti r epresentatives from our clubs In Igan, Kentucky and Tennessee.
The problem ot Isolated alumnI! r e malntl with us, and It seems to m e , must be met in a larger degree by those nlumme th e ms e lv es, Each ARROW sub.scrlber at least might send h e r nfty cents alumme dues to the Province Vice-President of her locality, and take the Initiative In a corres l)()ndence which Is dttrtcult to open up in the dark, but whi c h each Province Vi ce· President would be more than glad to continue,
Time and postage might be savet1 it active chapters and alumnlll clubs would send their Settlement School donations direct to th e ir Province Prealdc nt, and If alumn&:! clubs would send their national du es on tim e.
My knowledge of the club work In some cases I s limited clu e to lack of response from c lubs, a nd th erefore many Interesting points and new Ideas which might h ave been given to the f'Jrovlnce and frate r nity have not been IIbem t ed, The a lumn e c lub sec r e tary Is supposed In each case to "keep In c 10ae touch with the Province Vice -President, giving the fullest possible account of c lub activities. " The club president Is also asked In "Instructions to Alnmnm Clubs" to "send an annual letter to th e Province Vlce·Pre8ldent, covering the more Intimate points of c lub life." I believe a definite date should bo set and that the Provin ce Vice-Pres id ent shou ld receive theae annual letters In time to broadcast the more Interesting facts In her annua l r epo rt To dale I have not received such a l e tter from any club In Delta Province, 80 I feel that thlH point has been lost sight of.
The Easter n Con f erence In Washington, D. C. , was a high light In the year and at!'orded the (Ipportunlt)' of. acquaintance with eome In Delta Provin(:e who h ad previous l y been only "names" to me, 1t was a ' pleasure and In sp iration in many ways, notably the m ee ting of national Officers and other prominent PI Phis who are doing much for our fmternJty, and the opportunity for round t tblc discussion frat e rnity problema. To me the Confe ren ce was an especln l Joy as it 'W as a r etu rn to my own chapter, Columbia A, and to the Washington Alumnre club of which ( was form e rly a member,

REPORT OF ZETA PROVINCE VJCE-PRESJDENT
Zeta Proo(nre 1'Icc-Prc,,((/ent ubmit" the follotolno ,.epo,·te
Zeta Provlnl'e has fourteen aiUlnn-c clubs with membership of approximately 420-l\n increase of about 76 since last yea r 's report. Most at the clubs hold monthly meetings with programs of all varieties. The clubs mry so In size trom the largest with 1\ membership of 82 to the smallest with a membership ot 12 that the time and cha r acter of the meetings must be made to fit the loca l need.
t:p to date $2,508.05 has been received trom the clubs for the Settlement School. Adverse local conditions In two of thc clubs have delayed their sending in th ei r u8ual splendid cont ributi on" but without doubt those will co m e In shortly and will bring the amount up to that collec ted IlUIt yea r and possibly make this year'S contributions the largest we have ever had trom Zeta Province.
'l'he clubs alt showed extr eme inter!:!"t and enthusiasm in the purchase ot Mrs. Coolidge's port r aIt. tor whl('h $1 i7 was collected. J deeply regret that the distance rrevented any large number from Zeta Province going to the Eastern Conference, It was a wonderful opportunity and It It ever comes again I morc ot us will b e able to take advantnge o( It.
The scholanhip cup which was pun:hllsed by cont ributi ons trom all or the alu mne ot Zeta Province and awa-rded (or the first time last year went agai n this rear to Iowa D, It, according to th e agreement, they win It again next year, th e cup is to be theirs permanently,
On the whole the c<.oiWltions In Zeta Province seem very encouraging and this year seems to clORe with bright prospects for the coming year. submlttcd, HELEN M. GEPPCJ:T.

REPOHT OF KAPPA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT
J(aPl)R Province 1'icc- President submits Lh.e lollou;jllo report:
Kappa Province ha!5 had a sp l endid YeAr-the best In Its history- with three ot the clubs showing an advance In both l ocal and national work.
Long Beach, In its fi r st )'ear us a n orgunlzcd club, made a record that rivals that ot clubs or many years standing. They not only had a year full or delightful ftoclal nctivltles but they mnde a girt to the Settlement School ot $125.00, gave $10 to the Flora Sigler Carver Day Nursery-and presented CallCornla r with a 'Vlndsor chai r tor the hou se. They have only 30 members and are to be congratu lated On their achievement.
1.os Angeles again lead s the prov in ce with $643.50 tor th e Settielnent S c hool and about $100.00 wOrth ot turnishlngs tor the chapter house The club suttered a great 1088 In the sudden death of Flora Sigler Carver at whose home the club was organized, had alwaY8 been an active worker In the club and since the Installatfon ot California r she had been untiring In her for the chapter. She served as chairman ot the advisory board trom Ite beginning until her death and the 108S to both chapter and c lub has been a lmost overwhelming. The club raised more than $250.00 to Install the beds in the Flam Sigler Carver Memorial Day NUI'Hery at LOS Angeles and has undertaken to k eep the bedding r eplenished each year. The club year lI' a8 a remarkable one nnrl the enthusiastic FOunders' Day ba:nquet, a ttended by more than 200 PI Phi!!, was a fitting climax.
Detailed reports have not yet bee n received from northern Calltornla, Nevada and Tucson. Settlement School con tribution s have b een received a8 CollowlI--No rth ern California. 1207.&0, Tucson $55.00, Nevada $2U.OO.

Since the work of this committee In s upe nising pledge nnd active m e mber study nnli examination i s following the same generl11 plans 6S outlined in TilE ARROW (Ol'tober ]923) little detail need be given he-re. It might be well to note a c llaugc which was mnde during the I>Hst year in regsI'd to the H ouor R oll and tbe Passing A'·erages. The Ilonor R o ll per('Clllo.ge hos been rnlsed trom 95 per cent to 97 per cent, ' hll e the Pnssin g Grade has be-en raised trom 75 per t'ent to 80 per cent.
May tbe COlllm lttee again make nn appeal to tile chn l) {e rS tor papers written in cl e ar, nent find co n cise Engli s b; better spelling and wore curetu) pun ct uation.
'l11C s u penlsors reported excellent work on the purt ot both pledges and octh' e members, in the mnjority o r roses.
The comparatil'c rntings nrc noted with SOme hesitan cy, as with tell people grading, on nbsolule stnndard is next to Impossib le H o we yer, the gl'fldlllg is vcry 8t rlct , nnd each s upervi so r mo st co n scienti o us. The Chairman h opes tbnt c hapters will not be ullmindful or the unsel · fisb se rvi ces rendcrecl by these bu sy wOlllen: their Supervisors.
'I'he committee wisbes to thank personal].,· the alUlnnlc who assist with tbe examination" nnd Rssure thelll or their grntitude.

EDI T OR IALS
The Fall of the Year may be called "pledge's semester" as it is during that period that many of our pledges don the tiny arrowhead. 'Ne should all strive to prove to our pledges by our conduct that Pi Beta Phi is all that they had hoped for or dreamed of. We should keep before them through personal example the ideals for which our fraternity stands. Pledgeship should be made a period of happiness and never one of drudgery o r o f per so nal service . Pi Beta Phi has a national ruling which absolutely forbids "goating" or any form of "mock" initiati o n. It is permissible for a chapter to have the pledges help with serving at cooky-shines or sinlilar parties and also to have them plan to do clever stunts but under no circumstances should you expect a pledge to serve individual members by doing work which does not pertain to the chapter. A pledge is not a maid or valet.
