REPORTS OF OFFICERS
REPORT OF 1'BE GRAl\[)) PRESIDENT
To Pi Beta Phi FroteMltlu th.e Grand President .!ubmit, 1M lollowMiI report:
As PI RetR Phi, In the fifly·ninlh yenr of its existence, CORvenes as its Twenty-seventh Biennial Convention, there comes a deepeDed realization of the <1ebt which the Frnternlty owes to Its Founders who early had a vision of service and whose lives have been n manifestation of the Ideols ot educated, Christian womanhood upou which they established the traternity so df'nr to lh e m nnd to us. 'Vltbln little mOfe than a year, we have mourned the loss of three of our beloved Founders-Ada Bruen Grier, Rosa Moore. and Emma Brownlee Kilgore. To their memories we orlng the tribute of renewed pledges of loyalty and service to PI Beta PhI. To our living Founders, whose Jives are a contlnunl inspiration Ilnd whose words of encouragement have made possible the completlon of difficult tasks, we bring hearts filled with love and appreciation.
Because in the past two yenrs Ulony members of the fraternity have been of exceptional service to their fellowmen, It seems not out of place to s(X\llk here of the pride whicb Pi Beta Phi feels in these women wbose nchie"ements reflect sucb distinct credit upon them· selv.es and indirectly upon their fraternity. Through women like Grace Goodhue Coolidge, Cnrrie ChRpman CRtt, and Dr. Gladys Dick, to mention by 110me only a vcry f ew of the many whom we should llke so to bon or, Pi Beta Phi Is contributing largely to the advancement and the well-being ot humanity.
Any review ot the work of the Grand tor the interIm or conve ntions just c losed should begin wIth un expression of deep appreciation tor the loyal and helpful co·operntlon of other Grand Council members, prO\'lncc aud notional officers, committees, chapters, nnd Individual members ot the traternlty. What ever the achievements, they would not ho ve been possible without the encouragement and support which have bCen 80 freely given. It has been a privIlege for which your Grand Presld <.'nl Is Increnslngly grateful to ""ork with officers and committees whose service to Pi Beta Phi is so devoted, un selflsh, and comp l ete.
Because real strength in the fraternJty Is large ly n matter ot Internal so undn ess, special emphnsis has. at nil Umes, been placed upon the strengthening of the fraternity within itself. The needs not only of the indlvidunl chapter but olso of the Individual girl have been given thoughtful consIderation aDd 81>ccio l needs hove been met with special methods of approach and treatment. The Grand President believes that the reports to this convention will show splendid results

Alumn re and a ctive members alike ar e coming more and more to realize that no chapter can be its best self und e r adverse living con· dlUons. 'l'he Grand Council is greatly pl e a sed wltb the financial support DOW being so liberally given to our chapters in their campaigns tor house funds and it has confidence to believe that within the next few years every chapter a r es idence will be housed in a way compaUble with its needs and wIth the prestige of Pi Beta PhI.

Florida B and Washington B. or the forty chapters now living in houses, twenty·seven own their own llornes which are valued at $717,250 Four other chapters own houses for meetings only and these have 8 value of $24,000, making a total value ot the bouses owned by cbapte rs of the fraternity $729,250.

Each year bas Its own problcOls find inspirations quite d iffe r e nt from eve ry other year. 'j'hese nrc but phases of progress and ha\'e been most interesting to walch, tor It seems to your Grand Vice-president tbat the l ast term has seen greater torward steps than any other of b e r terms. This was du e to the in spir ati ons ot individuals or groups
wbose Ideas were as e l ectric currents tbat thrilled every Pi Beta Pbl.
As your Grand Vice-presIdent noted in her report for 1924 three distinct infiuences have gi\'"en zest to the fraternity life with whicb she has had contact. The wonderful spi rit of the Estes 1"'ark Convention has ser,'ed as an Impetus e"er since and the Washington Conference and the giving of Mrs. Coolidge's portrait have carried forward the enthusia sm at the sa m e high levpl. Nothing Is SO rich in results 88 personal co nta ct al110ng those striving to develop womanhood, nnd with the 700 PI Phi l!! at Estes Park, one in e"ery 20 Pi Phis attending, and with close to 1400 at '\Va sbingtoD, one in every ten PI Phis, a forc e nnd ent hu siasm was engendered tbat has swept on to s uccess. The fires of enthusiasm burning in every Pi Phi's heart were lanned into flame nnd they have burned brightly and warmly. The message and the inspiration of these two large gatherings atl'ected the whole organization, for their story has been carried to nearly enry member of PI Beta Phl. The convention at Estes Park was the largt"St fraternity convention ever recorded, the banquet at the WlUard was the largest woman's banquet ever held In 'Vush iogton, find the Washington Confer {'n ce was the l argest gathering ot fraternity women that the world 'has ever known. '1"0 Emma Harper Turn er, who the Idea ot the Wa shington Confere nce and to her wonderful corps of assistants and wllllng workers in the 'Vashingt on Alumnre club we are ever indebted. To Kath e rin e Towel' Barnes ot Michigan B we sha ll co ntinu e to give thanks for bel' priceless idea as long ns the beautiful portrait of our lovely First Lady remulns in the White Hou se to interpret to aU that see it the wondrous combination of buoyant youthfulness and fin e womanliness or Gl'ace GoOdhue Coolidge, a wearer of the urrow.
Your Grand Vlt.-e-presldent considered It a privJJege to be the Grand Council'S representutive on tile general committee for the Wa s hington Conference aud watched the de"elopment of the plans among the sp lendid Washington Pi Phis with keenest jnterest. Etnciency and co-operation seemed to be their slogan and an attendance of 1,000 was theIr goal. Never has It been the lot or your Grand Vlce·presldent to see any such m eeti ng managed with greater efflclency or witb finer spirit. EveD when the reglstel'lng grew almost overnight trom 500 to 1200 the same cheery smiles prevalled and pure delight was the order of the day, e ven though It meant continuous work all through the night. This was evident alt througb the ten months of with th e various committees a.nd in the committee meetings the Jast month Never will Pi Phi forget that gathering and n ever will your Grand Vicepre!ldent cease to be grateful for the oppo"rtunity to serve on a com· mittee with such cheerful. willing work e rs.
Linked in our minds with the conference Is the presentation of Mrs. Coolidge's portrait, though it was to Katberlne Tower Barnes of Concord, N . H., that the inspIration came. PI Beta P·hl recognized that' a nre opportunity was bers, this bei ng the first time thnt a fraternity woman was mistress ot the White Bouse. The conception ot the
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
idea nnd its acceptancl", ho\yever, carried with It no thought ot the publlcity and fame thnt has come to PI Phi through It. It appealed to us as nn outlet tor tbe very unturlll pride thnt was surging within us and that craved expression. Sure ly tbere 'vas no lo\'e ller way to express it. You all know from a previous report how the suggestion was received by all PI Phidom. Mr s . BUrnes wrote ber idea to the Grand Vice-pres ident, who was so ex cited she sent specials to all the other m embers of Grand Council that very day, and Grand Council 8et the pace with its enthuslnstic endorsement of the idea a.nel aU other officers and all clubs, chnpters, and indh'ld ual PI Phis followed eagerly. Your Grand \"i ce -pres id cnt was gi\""cn full charge ot the attnir ft11d though she wns terrified nt the th ought of hadng to find an artist tor such a. commission all by he r se lf, rate wns kind atter all. She will ever be grateful to May Brodh ea d Wnl1ace, whose h e lp sbe sought, and who, through her Tcsldence in Wa shin gto n and h e r fr<!quent contact with Mrs. Coolidge and her Intensc lo\'e for Pi Phi, ga,-e invalmtble help. The Portrait Fund Wtl S oversubscribed, 8S right. Three thousand dollars was the murk set and more thll11 thut come in, as a d eta iled repot·t in 'the 1924 AHKOW shows. At Mr. Christy's suggestion all surplus over $2500 was turned over to the Settlement School. The uccumulation of this fund brought grent satlsfnction to your Granel Vi ce- president and her h.u3band, with out whose keen interest and constant nssistance n business-like system would not have b ee n poSSible. for the Grand Vi ce-presid e nt wns absent on Pi rhi bu s iness for seven weeks. Th e sale or th e I}hotograpb of the portrnit still continues. Som e clubs took ndvuntnge of the opportunity to increase their profits tor the Settlement SchoOl and sold the autograpbed copies. Following nre th e amounts credited: Boston, $12 .00; Chicago, $19.50; Detroit. $19.00; Clarksburg, Va., $1.50; Pasad e na, $1.50; Los Angeles, $1.50; Long Beach, $4.50; Washington, $12.00. The supply ot 500 photographs is nearly exhnusted . All orders have been promptly fiJled nnd carefully maned. As a result of tbe o"ersubscription to the Portrait Fund Bnd the protlt on the photograph your Grand Vice-president and ber husband were able to turn over a check for $1172 to the Set tlement School. Thts Is a nucl e us for a Grace Coolidge Fund that should continue to grow, tor Mrs . Coolidge said that It she could earn 8 dollar for tbe Settlement School by just signing her name she would work overtime.
'Three Province Vice-presid ents found it impossible to continue in omee, Lelab Bell Davis ot EpSilon, Hel en McCargo Geppert ot Zeta, and Sa retia H e rrick Brew er or Eta, who were succeeded by Kate Freund Miller, Margaret Jn cke s Ball, and Gene vieve Herrick Smitb, respect· ively.
Steady conscientious work ot both old and new Province Vice· presidents bave kept the clubs In close touch with the national organization. Id eas from headquart e rs bave been passed on by the Province Vice-presid ents that all clubs mlgbt bave Bome work in common, but eacb Province Vice-president bas tried out ber own origins I ideas aDd
REPORTS or OFl'IOEBS
schemes in her own province witb excellent results. In tbis way we have eleven hoods instead at one figuring on the work aDd ten more chances at originality and progress. Idens have been exchanged trom province to province and all helptul suggestions and worthwhile sue· cesses ot the whole country bave l)e(>n gathe r ed and Incorporated into the Grand Vice-president's letter at the opening ot the club year.
The Province bave bePn unusually zealous In encouflftging the tormatlon ot new clubs and though two clubS, Waterloo, Iown , nnd Co lorado Springs have had to give up their c harte r rz through IOS8 ot members, there have been twelve new clubs enrolled In the last two years; DeLand, FIR.; Orlando, Chattanooga., Tenn.; Memphis, 'renn.; Clarksburg, 'V . Va.; Corvallis, Ore.; M idd l ebury, Vt.; Altoona, PR.; Pasadena, Calit.; Enid, Okla.; Muskogee, Okla.; Salt Lake City, Utah; St. Petersburg, Fla.; and one c lub dormant tor some yeRrs has been revived at Cincin nati; tl new charte r Issued to Akron, Ohio, and the LancAster, Pa., alumn::e club has 'reorganized with the Hor'rl sb urg Pi Phis as members.
Although an inspecting officer tor fllumnre clubs cannot be financed trom the present income ot the alumnre department, an ea rnest endeavor on the port ot aU national Rnd province ofHcers has bee n made to hov e personal contact with every possible club to bring It the national new s. As otllcers have mad e their Tounds ot chapte r visits tbey have visited the clutis, too, so that ot the 112 clubs 811 but 34 bave been visited by ft member ot Grand Council nnd mony ot these 34 have been viSited by tbe Provi nce Presidents.
The suggestion that neighboring clubs exchange visits bos met with tavor and success In several sections and in several places clubs united to celebrote Founders' Day, tbereby multlplylng the lnterest and entbosi88m, and many gatherings have been held on Founders' Day In sections where there was no club. For the seventh consecutive time the Grand VIce-president sent a F o und ers' Day greeting to aU clubs.
Seve ral clubs are finding the use ot the small unit ot great assi st· ance. Some large city clubs bave been divided Into geographical groups with the groups m eeting monthly or ottener, lind then the whole club uniting tor the four required m eetings ot the year. The captain system has helped trem e nd ously, tor the captain of each district could relay the n e ws trom club headquarters easily nnd quickly over the telephone.. A spirit ot healthy rivnlry is engendered In working by groups for the various Interests, especia lly the Settlement School.
The response trom all clubs tor the Settlement School Is marvelous. Your Grand VIce-presIdent has had many hours of doubt about this year's contribution to the School, tearing It would be materially cut because ot the hard tLmes tbat have swept so many states, and beoouse or the unusual activIty In chapter house building and financing. Hearts and pocketbooks seemed to be luge enough tor all, howev er Rnd $20,000 was raised tor tbe school-tbls being the third consecutive y£'4lr that
TIlE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
the clubs' donatl on s have amounted to practically $20,000. Agaln Cle \'e isnd leads with $2,200, aD av e rage of $40 per capita. Other c lubs that have ra ised unusually large amounts are, Washington, Phlladelpbla , [{ansas City. St. Loui s, etc.
Again c lub s nre urged to rend r e ports In the June ARROW for ideas and to scnn c arefully th e ne w addresses in the Alumore Personals, that a r e now so listed thot th e ne w arrivals in th e club's vicinity cnn be casily noted. Each club s hould bU"e 8 co mmittee to aUend to this and to phone or call on possible n e w members and so 110 t only mak e t h e strungers f ee l llt home but jn c r (>nse the l oca l c lub' s llNubersbip.

E'ranklin D Cogs well, 16 CednT Rd., Caldwe ll, N. J. will supply copies, at n profit [or the School.
Each [all a list of 27 duties o[ club secretaries is sent the clubs and that bas helped to keep til e work moving in prOJ}(\r cha nn els.
YOUlO Grund "I ce- preside nt ha s mad e several tl"il>S for til €' fraternity, \'l s lting nine cllnpters aod nine clubs in CnrolloR, Tenness ee, Loui s iana, T e xa s, Ok lahoma , Arkansa s , uod Mi ssouri in the 1923-24 seaSOn, and making trips in th e tnll nnd spring of th e 1924-25 senson.

A three days ' conference In New York City with the Reorg ani zation committee was arranged for on tbe r e turn and late r Maine A w as vis ited.
These visits are e,·er an in s piration to nn inspecting officer to "carryon" and your Grand Vice-presid ent can Teco mmend the Grand Vice-presid e ncy to b e r s uccesso r as a wonderful combination of active Rnd aluntnre work- n e ver losing touch witb eit b e r phose, tor acquaintance started In association with actives ripen s Into real frlendsbip as the w ork with them contin u es in the nlumnre depnrtment.

REPORT OF THE ABROW EDITOR
Th e most important r espo n s ibili ty und e rtaken by the Arrow Editor durlng th e interim of conventi ons has been the c b a nge ot publishers. After carefully considering n numbe r of bids, th e Editor l et the co ntract to th e Express·Couri e r Company of Fort Colli n s, Colo. Th e c hangp. necessita ted clo se personal 8upeni s io n but the n e w bid ha s me ant a saving to the fraternity of npproximatcly $2,000 si nce th e Express·Courler bld in 1023 was $250 lower tor each iss ue of 224 pages than tlle bid made by th e Bnntn Publi s hing Co mpany, fo rmer publishers and tb e ne3:t blcld el.
Naturally there were n fe w drawba c ks to n c hange in publi s h ers 8S the entire mnlling list had to be se t up in n e w tbu s delaylng th e fir st Issue considerably . Th e se rvi ce ot the Express·Cour!er bas steadlly Improv e d as the work hllS beco me mo r c fallllllnr, until we have been abl e to get the la s t two Issues of the ARROW Int o the mail ahead at sc hedul e d tim e, despite the fact that the Jun e issue r a n fifty pages over the r e gular contract stipulation. Tbis is the be s t r eco rd that th e Arrow bas made In several years.
La st year the expenditures t o r the 4 issues t,rom Jun e 1923-24 were in round num bers: $11,170.00; tor th e past year, Jun e 1024-25, ,9,500.00. Th e Grand Tr ea s urer reports $103,490 .00 in the permanent Arrow Endowment tund which Is the r es ult of h er foreSight and ra reful investment of funds during her years ot untiring service In the Craternity . According to available statistics thIs Is the lnrgest end owm e nt tund of any traternity magazine.
An Invcstigation of the adverti sin g possibilities of the A.B.Bow showed thot until all fraternity magaZines become unlform 10 size , there will be llttl e possibUity or obtaining reg ular advertisements at

large commercial firms since all such advertising Js placed by big agencies.
Because 80 mnny PI Be ta Pbls nre In commercial entt!rprlses of their own and arc desirous of ad\'crtlslng tn The ARnow, ft f atE.> of 4c a word bas been decided upon for advertisements runDing as 8nDounC& m e nts in the regular body of the magazine. Special Tates tor display advertisements nut)' h e obtai ned from the Editor at ally time.
The make-up or tbe Arrow bos not always been os good 8S the puhl1shers o r t he Editor desired but the Editor advised tbe pubHsbers to c r owd the material In order to conserve nIl possible space and thus cut down expense.
Especial mention should be made ot the Interest of Mr . Berry ot th e Express -Co uri e r who has direct super"lslon over the printing of the Arrow and who I s tireless In his {'aorts to make the Arrow n per.teet magazin e.
To collect copy trom all lJurls of the UnlteU States from volunteer workers; to sood proof for reading 8nd corrections lon g di st an ces; and to depend ul)On 180 unpaid secretaries to get th ei r chapter and club copy in on time mnkes the publication of !l fraternity magazine difficult. But only by such a system or volunteer service can we bave a truly representative orgon.
The Editor hos striven during the l)Dst two years to mAke the ARROW appeal to ('ach member of PI Beta Phi Dnd to make It till its spec ial oalee as a frnternlty publication. Mu ch time has spent in l'ndeovoring to give lhe articles human interest and to print unu s ual it e ms and stories concerning o ur Own members ond their a c hieveme nts .
Dozens of letters ha,'e been written following up clu es in order to obtain good stor ies concerning Pi Pbls who are doing interesting things.
A great deu l of space bas been given to the chapter letters, aiumme personals and alumnre club r eports beeause th e chief reason tor pubIishlng the Arrow Is to give information concerning the fraternity, Its progress and development, and news of its m£>mbers.
During the past year more interest ba s bee n shown by tile readers than at any other time since tbe present Editor bas been in ofDce . Newspaper clippings, items concerning e minent Pi Phis, write ups ond photographs hav e come un solic ited t o the Editor's desk nnd have been very mu ch appreciated.
Somponp hlHI f)t1P sllonf'Cl wh ... th pr the Arrow is r('slly r ead-but the edito r can assure you that whenever mistakes occur, special deliv ery letters wing their way to her door. Too, t.here olso come missives containi ng words of encou ragement.
Indirectly lost year word came to the ett'ecl tbat two patlent.s who were In the same New York hospital spent many pleasant bours together during convalescence because the floor nurse dlscoyered ea ch one reading nn Arrow ond commented upon tbe tact. with the result that wheeled chafrs were called into service and two Pi Phis found eacb other.

While there hK s been a large quantity of datil received trom the alumnre cl ubs for publicftti on during the la st two y ea r s, the work of compilation and ediling ha s been In rgely routine, so tltero is little unu sual to report .

Through the very graciously extended assistan ce that came to me (rom the Arrow Editor nnd the former Alu.mnro Editor, G e r ald in e Murs, n good Idea ot th e cou r se to follow was give n me.
Due to the tact thut the publication ot the nlutlmfC club reports was transferred trOIll the June ARROW to th e Oc tober Issue in 1923, there have been throe, Instead of two rcportg made by the var! o us c lubs during the interim ot Conventions, these reports nPI>t"arlng in th e Octobe r 1923, June ]024, und June ]025 A'rrows.

Alumnre personals which are sent to tbis department by club secretaries, active chapter 8eCl"etol'ies Bnd individuals and the ]0 Me moriam notices, hs\'c been publish ed in the December 19"-8, March, June a n d December 1924 8nd MUrch and June 1925 Is su es ot the ARROW , Under date of September 28, 1923 a form l etter WIIS sent to 011 club secretaries os 8 followup nfter the regulnr Bulletin bad gone out.
The Coming Events column, compiled from the nl rlous club programs requested of the secretaries, hns appeared in four i ss ues of the ARROW: December 19'>-3, Uarch ]924, Dece mbe r 19'>-4 and March 1925. For the December 1924 issue so few club progrnms were forthcoming that n canvass was furtber mnde with requ es ts for progrnms, with only fnlr Tesponse.
Under Mrs. Spring's Instructions n typographlcnl change was mad e in March 19"24, in th e listing of the n e w addresses in the Alumore P e rsonals which makes the subject matter more readabl e .
Your AlumllID Editor has suffered, perhaps not so mu ch as pr e vious alumore editors, but neverth eless far more than s hould be n ecessary, from trying to decipller almost unilltolligible writing On all shapes and klnds ot paper sUP1X>sed to pass as aJumnlP. club oUidaJ reports . Possibl y sometime In the far, tnr future people gen e rnlly will l earn and und e rstand, that sucb data by all the law s ot justice should be typewriltenand on one side of tile sheet only. But maybe eyen now I cnn sense some smnll lmpro \-cment in that line This is not Il complaint, mere ly a statement at fnct.
Now, It It is in order in this plnce, I would wish to make the recommendation that, other considerations oot counterweighting the points In its favor, aJomnre club secretaries be elected for a two-yenr term as a regular thing. During a one yenr term the secretory just about lenrns what is expected ot he r, especially in n national wny, when it Is time to brenk III a new one Othe r ve r y c\·ldent benefits would accrue to the indhTjdual clubs through such a system.
In closing may I not exprN3S my appreciution t or tlle acquaintances formed, mostly via mail, but n e vertheless firm, and the additional enthusiasm tor Pi Beta Phi guined, while at this work . And I must reiterate my thanks to Mrs. Spring tor the competent informati o n and aid extended me_

I have sent nil addresses which have come to me to both th e Alnmnro Editor and to the Cataloguer. Also oll t11 ese ba.ve b een checked on the cards at the cataloguer and changed on th e mnUlng list.

REPORT OF BEAD RESIDENT PI PHI SETTLEMENT ScnOOL 1924-1925
Th e yenr 1924 -25 found the School with a l a rge r storr, more vnrled work, and with an extension sc hoo l started. Eve n though tbl' work and worke'rs were new in so m e departm ents , I feel sure w e can ca ll It a successful year. The s chool spirit, grad e of wo rk, and the co-oper8tlon of th e people have aJi been good.
For n ea rly thr ee months th e head res ident was away on the vacation grante<l by the COlllmlttee last s umm er, nnd during that time those In the S c hool carried on th e work wond ertul1y well.

SCHOOL
Th e School e nrollm e nt for th e pa s t yenr was no large r than the year before, be ing 130. Th e p e r cent of atte ndance was b e tter-due in part to an e fficient truant officer In the county, and in part to a greater appreci ation on t he part of parent s of th e advantage of steady atte nd· ance. Tbe fir st six grades co mpl eted an e ight m onths' school t e rm. The four upper grades lacked only o n e wee k o f completing nine months Six Pl1plls completed the e ighth grade and r eceived State certificates. Seven pupils co mpl e ted s ec ond year high school.
One n ew t eacher was added Mr Elm e r 'Yntson took th e 3rd and 4th grades, in that way r e li e vin g Mi ss Burton's and Mi ss Fol som 's room of . so many grades. He also couched the base ball and basketball teams and mnd e th e trips with th e m. H e was hired with the unders tanding that h e would s upe rvi se o ut s id e w o rk of boys living h ere, but throu g h no fault of hi s, did not do a s mu ch of that work as we had hoped h e could. Hi s influence with th e boy s is fin e, and h is work in sc hool i s good e n o ugh to fav o r his r e turn. Miss Margare t White and Mi ss H e le n Barret t w e r e b o th n e w, but the c lasses went on very w e n, and I b e li ev e th e girl s held the pupils to a hlgb grade of work.
B es id es the regular grad e work, th e schedule f o r weaving, sewing, cooking and a g rl c ullure wa s ca r ef ully work ed out. All thi s mad e a v e ry fun course f o r t h e boys and girls and gav e tbem all th e work th e y could carry.

TEACHE.RS
Miss Lois Rogers, who has been taking Mis8 IInrmo 'I'nylor's place this spring, will tBke :MIss Folsom's room.
The same questions regarding scbool have been talked over every yenr,-consol1dation, extension, etc. I do not think there will be nny chnnges In any of the schools for another yE'nr.
One good step taken this yenr Is giving the countle6 an eight month's free school. This w11l menn much to us In keeping attendnnce up, not only dally, but kecping the younger ones in school unUI the close of the spring term. It wJlJ raise the stondard ot work In the nearby school, too.
Also we will receh'c from the county more money for both tbis and Sugnrlands School. Just what the amount per monUl will be I can not tell yet, but certainly no Jess than before, and It will continue for eight months.
A new year will be added This bos been our hope for many years, but only now is the time suited to add tbis extra yenr. We ha , 'e hnd seven pupUs to finish second year high, and as these boys and girls are necessary to the morale, both in the school room and ath l etics, ond most nnxlous for llllother yenr at school, we 11a"e had to meet demnnds.
We were not able to r(>nt or buy the ESlinger house last yenr, 80 solved the difficulty of room by putting the sewing In one room of the Stuart Cottage; the cooking stayed In the basement of the schoolhouse; the wcavlng , 'as moved to the TJog Cabin; and nil of Mr. Mattll's work was kept in the old barn where it had been. The baskets nnd weaving we have for sale werc kept In Dowell's room In the attic as here.tofore. Not the least ot nil our troubles Is to find R place to store nnd pack as well as to s e ll, the baskets.
DOMESTIC Scn;NCE
From the beginning of th e school term, we had regular classes in cooking and sewing. The cooking clnsses were h{>ld In the school basement room: the sewing In one room of the Stuart Cottage. The domestic science teacher a l so had the care of the meals In tht";: Girls' Cottage, planned tor the supplies In that cottage, the blgh school gir l s uneler her snper\'ision prepared the noon meals for all dormitory girls

The plan worked v e ry w e ll, although sometimes th e high school ,IrIs see m ed to hav e rath e r less th eore ticnl work and perhaps more ot practi ca l.
Th e la s t month ot school we di sco Dtinued th e w e avIng classes, and the 8th grade girls prepared the noon mea l; th e high school girls have cl asses mor e al ong th e lin e of text boo k work .

The Community Club meets once a montb, usually oftener. A carload of fertilizer W88 bandIed by it again this spring.
The fir8t week In May. the State Supervisor of Smith-Hughes Vocational Work was here. He was most enthusiastic regarding progress made, Bnd said we could not realize It unl ess we were away for two year8 and then came back. B e wus so pleased that he said h(o would give us an additional $300.00 this yenr tor more equipment Cor that department. Altogeth e r the departm e nt has been very satisfactory the past year, Judge d not alone by us but by people trom other comm unities and the Cou nty Superintendent.
FABK
The Farm by 'rights Is not under tile care at a Smith Hughes teacher, but Mr. Mattil has given a good d ea l of time to planning t o r It and to supervision. It Is In better condition now, is producing more, and Is being run Quite n little more businesSlike. There hav e been a good many reasons why It was impossibl e to put In up.to-date methods, but little by lfttle we are improving the old ways. We have good stock on the place; pIgs, chickens, horses, cows. We are d elighted to announce that Mr. and Mrs. PI Phi Gont nre happIly domiciled at the School. Reports show at lenst $500.00 worth at teed raised the past year; no doubt the place produced w e ll toward $1000.00 of the living expenses. We teel sure the tarm will show up stIB b e tter another year.

GJRLS' DOltMlTORY
'Wb en school co mmenced, th(!rc were th'c t eachers and six girls in the d ormitory.
The schedule of work was carrIed out os th e year b efore and the planning of nnd supervision of the house was under the care ot Barbarn Dewell. She was absolutely n e w to the work, and there wa s no house moth e r. We were t o r t unate in having gIrls who harl been in the dormitories befo re Hnd who re ally und e r s t ood so m e parts ot the work much be tter than the teachers.
While I was in New York on my va cation , I saw Mr s. Chopin, with whom I lind some co rre spo ndoo ce, with the result that s he came here In December. She Is splendid with the girls, and ha s a s mu ch tact with the tencllers as with the pupils, nnd they need n house mother and home mak e r as much as the little girls do.
With as much house work as th e girls dOt tbeir wa shi ng and iron· ing and mending to look after each wee k, lh('r c is not much time le ft tor work thnt can count against their schoo l bills. Oue girl c looncd Out· cottage cnch morning beto re school, two helped some with the h o use Ironing each week, anoth er did a littl e w eo ,·lng. Durin g the time Barbara D e we ll was ill with flu, and th e time b etwee n h e r departure nllll the nrrival of the new teacher, one girl did all t.ho planning ond SUI)e r\"ising of the high school girls, who prepared the nooll m ea l nt the school, nnd she did \re ry well.
After Christmas, the family in the cottages numbers fourteen or fifte en all the time
Boys' DORM ITORY
The Boys' Cottage, rented from Mis s Bi s hop nnd Mi ss Biggin· bothum, wns quite sa tl s fnctory the past year. Mr. and MrS. Lea nder McCa rter lived there, Mrs McCarter d oi ng the work, nnd receivin g in r eturn board f or her husbund and BtU e gi rl. Tbere were times In the ea rly fall when th e r e we re only tour b oys there, hut nil the spring term there were eight.
While the boys did not have many house duties. they did have other work, k ee ping r ecords of theIr time. Practically all was work
RJI!PORTS OF OFFICERS
Mr. MattU planned (Lnd supervised, os It was olong his line. 'Va can certainly see improvement in this place. Never have the boys done more work, been marc conscientious obout It, or done as good a grode of work.
One boy hud rull charge or the incubators this spring; anolber one the brooder; anoth er did practically nil the firing or the furnaccs; the chlckAfls were entirely looked after by Rnother boy; afte r Jim Reagan lett, onc boy kept up thc repair work, which included carpenter work, wiring, a li ttle plumbing, etc.
With this much work douC', our books shou ld show quite a lobor chorge to ot'l'set a big living chllrgC', but tbe main thing to consider is the fact thnt th ese oldC'r boys needed to be in scbool, they were bavlng an opportunity to do these things under s upervision and according to approved methods. Lh' lng in tbe dormitory gave them better oppor· tunlty to keep up their school work. Another yeor I believe we can have all this still bett e r organized. The lust of the year, the boys came to the schoolh ouse each night for st udy, and another yenr we shall continue this. The r espo n s ibility Is divided among the! tea cher s and thu boys do better studying Also some outside boys come tor the study hour.
JJOSP ITAL ANO HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Tll e full r eport given by Miss Higginbothom gives, much be tter than 1 can, the nccount of work done in that departme nt. However, no r epo rt cnn hulf tell the sto ry of amount of work done or what that work means to the people of this co untry. Neither is tbat d epartment the limit of Phyllis' s work. We depend on her in every way. Yea r before last we d emonstrated the need of an assistant in the office all the time.
At the beginning of the schoo l term , Harmo Taylor ca me and proved a most volnnble helper. In fact, we are convinced that the general belp these willing college girls cnn give is worth more to the nurse now than just the professional h elp a trained nur se might give.
With this help in the oflice, It hns beeo possible for Miss HiggInbotham to do more school work , the tlling we always hnv e wanted. 10 1 the fall, meeti ngs wer e held In different schools In the district; it Miss ITlgginbotbam could not go, Miss 'Taylor went. Tbe meetings were in charge of Mr. Mnttll, but always there was a Health talk given.
. In the spring term a closs (or 8t h, 9th, and 10th grad es was beld In our School, the r egul ar Red Cross text being used . Eight girls re· celved Red. Cross certlficntes for COn1I)letion of this course. The girls thoroughly enjoyed this, Rnd, I know, got 8 grea t deal out of it. I 8m so glad to begin to have these classes.
The doctors continue to come in at stated times, nnd also to make use of our good equipment.

We put in $1800.00 each yenr RDd r eceivo back about $2300.00. but the money is not nil.

Mu ch ot Mr. MntUl's work includes community activities:
A Community Club meets each month and som e times oft ener.
A Poultry AaaoclaUon ha!l been formed. Incubaton and Brooden were used by the Community. Health and Farm meetings were held In various little schools during the fall. The big event each October Is the Gatlinburg Fair. Last year It wae f ollowed by & County Fa.lr In Sevierville. and a Division Fair In KnoxvJlle. where we won second place. We r eceived $65.00 in prl%es In Sevierville,
and lUI we plan to have our soft drInks and fce cream pay the expenses of our fair, we have enough money In the bank now to give a few prize. next tall.
Nothing we have ever done has seemed to please everyone in the ('ommunlty like the little Newa we send out each month. Ur. Mattll and Mrs. Dow e ll dese rve the grentMt amount of praise for It, but we all help. Of course, we could DOt do it but tor the mimeograph gotten last year . Smith-Hughes funds paId for part of It. and the School the balance. It certainly Is in use n good part of the time.
E)'(MA HARPER TuBNER CENTER AT SUGARLAND8
The report from Emma Harper TUrner Center nt Sugarlands shows eighty-nine pupils enrolled, and two t eacb e rs. But thIs comes far short of te111ng the tale.
H ele n Chew came in July and spent the month getting the cottage In shape. The people gave most of the labor and materials tor repairing the little house, rent W88 free, and furniture wns mnde by men of the community and bought by the school. The house was made into quite an attractive little place, and one the people were very proud of, as they had seen what could be done with an old place.
No repairs were mad e on the school house, as the County Board wan ted to build 8S soon as possible.
BeSid es the school, Sunday School, church and various community meetings were held in the one room house.
On Saturdays Helen Chew had classes tor boys beyond tlle school age. Some worked ncross the mountain in North Carolina and would walk over to Sugarlnnds for their lessons.
The regulnr school work of the seven grades was supplemented all the year by sewing clnsses taught by Mrs . Dowell (until tbe SmithHughes EconomiCS teacher came); agriculture and farm projects by Mr. MaUll. Helen Chew preferred to teach the cooking classes during the fall t e rm. After she left the first of the year Barbara Dewell took those clnsses.
At Christmns time Helen was called home because ot illness in the fomUy. Mary Elder, n Sevier County girl, finished the year, and she and Cora McCarter had a very good term or school. Both 01' the girls were thoroughly interested in the commun I ty as well as the school work. scarcely being willing to spend ROy week--ends at tbelr own homes.
The experiment of having local girls take over the grade work was one I had been anxious to have tried. It sometimes has seemed to me we were a little slow in doing this. Whether it would be wise to have boJh teachers local, and a Pi Phi tor supervisor Rnd community worker Is a question.
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
Belen Is to be back this n ext year nnd w1il take the school work 88 she did last year, and we expect Cora McCarter will go back, too. She is in the East Tennessee Normal now.
r.rh e amount of book learning the little folks were taught last y ea r is sca.rce!}' to b e considered in the list of things accomplished in the Sugnrlnuds last year. 'V hen J say that it sometimes seems to me that a whol e co mmunity bas been r ebuilt, r c m o uld c d, the stnndnrd of living raised , spirit of coope rati o n de\'cloped, I do not feel I am putting it too strongly.
People on th e outside noti ce such a change, and again this yenr requests ha.ve come for us to go Into other s chools
I am so glad that during the summer Jean Steele and Mr. can continue their work; Jenn goes twice a week; Mr. Mattll, once . •Tenn has not had less than se,'cnteen girls in the class nny time. The wom e n do not come out in such number's, but 1 think their classes just a s Important

Alpha Province Pre8tdent 8ltbmit8 the foll owing repol" to 'he 191'5 Convcmtion of Pi Beta Pili:
In the Interim of conve ntions, your r ep r esen tative has made annual visits to the eight c hapt cu of Alpha. Province. Since official r eeponsl bllIty In the national lite ot PI Beta Phi Is new to me, my work has been In a degree exploratory. I am taking this opportunity t o thank Orand Council acting as your representative, for extending to me the privileges of provlncJal work. the rellults of which have been to Increase my knowledge In PI B eta Phi and t o open a wide field 0( fraternity friendship lor me My regrets are v e ry det!p In that I have b een unable to tulnll th e dutle. of the office 80 as to bring more real and la sti ng benefit to the girls In my province.
I wish 1 CQJ.Ild tak e you o n a tour o! the eight colleges In Alpha Province where PI Beta Phi Is represe nted. You h ave seen one In Toronto. Could I show you the others you would understand what dltrerent probl e m. must be faced by each of our c hapters and how dltTerent college lire Ie In each place. There are three State Universities, Unlveratty of Toronto (the prov-
TLlE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
Inclal University of Ontario), University of Maine and the University ot Vermont. There are various degrees ot. progress taking place In each, the Brat tn medical research, the second and third In building campa igns and development ot college spirit.
Syracuse and Boeton University aTe city colleges but have little In common. Boston University Is not a campus college and Ita studenl:8 are practically all commuters. Syracuse haa a large campus with a large percentage of 8tudents In residence on the campus. Cornell 18 the t ypical large university In a college town. St. Lawrence University at Canton, New York, and Middl ebury Coll ege tn Middlebury. Vermont. are amall colleges In Bmall towns and Hlled with enthusiasm and college lo yalty, Cornell heads registration with 6,000 students and St. Lawrence has the s mall e. t numbe r, 504 students. In each of these eight colleges PI Beta Phi 18 meeting h er responslbllltle8 In a ve ry capable wat Our girl. are repreaen t ed on 8tudent government association., athletic directorates, newspaper starrs and class and club executive&. A PI Phi was appointed a t St. Lawrence University as the first w omen's r ep rese ntative on the starr or the college paper. In every chapter there Is almost 100 per cent participation In college activities. Dramatics have a keen interest for the New York Delta. New York Alpha and New York Gamma and Vermont Alpha girls. Athl etics are very well developed at the University or Vermont and seem to play the ImpOrtant part th ey should In practically every college. Practical Interest In PI B eta Phi's Health Program shou ld advance with this ath letic program.
The Deans at each college have been most encouraging In their r eports of our chaptera. One Informed m e that PI Phi played such an Important part In the college life and such a progre88lve part that she f elt .he could not undertake a new movement without It. suPPOrt. Another conBTlltulated PI Phi on tile progreu O'l.ade In fraternity lite by the Executive Coundl Idea. One chapter was criticised by its Dean for not making the most of the splendid opportunity presented when such strong girls were grouped together. Thia was a. year ago and advance has been mad e In that reapect since then.
SchOl a r s hi p standards are very good. Last year New York Delta h eld the Scholarship Cup and V e rmont Alpha headed the campus for two !!Iemesters and In the third was third with a very slight difference between first thre e places. This year P I rht holds one first place, one second, thr ee third. place8, one fourth, and In colleges where there Is no comparative raUng the averages are very satis f actory There I. a determined effort in every case to reach the excellent PI Phi scholarship Ideal. Last year there were seven Phi Beta Kappas In the province. This year there are three and twelve members of honorary socie ti es. The scholarship problem wUl be helped to soiutlon In Lhe careful selection of pledges. This Is insured at the Unlverelty of Vermont by second semester pledging and at the University of Toronto by second year pledging. Th ese seem to me progressive ruUngs for It eliminates the repledging problem which has created a great deal of dlfftculty In the last two years. Pledges whose scholarship standards are not up to requirements for Initiation are In an awkward poaltlon in the c hapte r orpnlzaUon from their own viewpoint and from the chapter's. Thentore, from the scholarship standpoint second semeater pledging seems suoceuful The card lndex system of keeping records hu been inaugurated and ls In practical use and It will 81mpllfy record keeping to a great exlenL Panhellenle As8oclaUon8 are struggling for progressive legislation. There are sUlI three colleges where preferential bidding Is not being tried. I take thl' opportunity of urging the undergraduates to consider the spi rit of Panhellenlc rather than mere outward obedience of petty laws. There have been a few Unpleasant Panhellenic experiences since I have known the chapters occaalo ned in some cases by Jealousy and misunderstandln... It aeema to me now that PanheUenlc relations in every chapter bave been
placed on a ftrmer bula and soon the day ot an auoelaUon to make rul e. In wblch to catcb each other wlll be over.
A few Nationals have made th eir appearance on the campueea. PI Beta Phi's national s tandln S' Is not beiDS' lowered by the Alpha Province c h apters. M.y crlUcLam that some chaptel'l rely too much on the national reputation and torpt that tbJs r eputation bas been made by local reputation and will have t o be maintained. in the same way. On the wh ole I find th e girls very mu c h interested In the n atio n al life o t the fraternity. Our hearty tbanks are ex t e nd ed to the Waahlngton Alumna! C lub tor the splendid suoceu of the Eastern Confere n ce. ThJa did a v e ry great deal to k eep the serious national I88U88 of our fr a t ernity before th e Pi Phi, of Alpha province.
Chapter organization Is very 8"000. Executive Councils are In w o rklnl' order In every c ha pler with varying degrees ot 8uccesa. Each c h apter eeems to be working out the Idea In the way best s ulled to Its organh:atlon and It will take longer than two years to es t ablish It properl y.
The budge t System Is now In general uae and Is v ery satisf actor y, I have only b een present at initiation In t wo chapten but In both caaea I tound an ea m estneaa ot spi rit pr evaili ng. I have spoke n to n ew ly Pledged. treshmen In many cues a nd have noted thei r delight In PI Phi and their tresh e nthualas m which our c hapte rs will su r ely train Into the pl"Oper channels. Loyalty to womanhood, co Uege and fraternity Is the watchword lOr all these Alpha. Province Pi Phis. There are some small things which retard that "Devel opm en t ot n oble womanhood" for which we are aimlng. These I ha.ve e ndeavored to point out to th e girla. Th e bIg factor against develO'Pment jus t now Is n arrown ess At Urn es the local aituatlon looms 110 largely on th e h orizon that the broader view is lost. The tlrat atep to O'vercome tbJa fa a more united province feeling and this Is a thing of th e near future..
I c lo.e my r epo rt to Co nven tion with a a lncer ety hopeful view for the future of Alpha Province of PI Beta PhI.

REPORT OF GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
Vamma Pro vi nce P rc8itkn t ,submit" tAe following report to Grand COuncU:
Since my appointment as Gamma Province Pres ident last September aU the chapte r s In Gamma Provin ce have been vi s ited once tor 11 period ot two days. In addition to this I have visit ed Virginia Bela several times unom· clally. The gll'ls In each chapter prove d th e ms e lv es to be charming hosteSSCI, and showed me every cou rtesy and atte ntion My visits have been a real Inspiration to me, and I realize lTlorc tully than ever before the real spirit of our beloved PI B e ta. Phi since I have been brought Into close c ontact with the girls of the a.ctlve chapters.
None at the chapters In Gamma Province have houses. Virginia Alpha own! a lodge o n the ca mpus which enables the girls to havc real fraternity lite Th ey h ave enlarged and returnlehed It recently, and have almost paid orr the d e bt They do this by a system of Individual Pledges which haa w o rked out satisfac toril y. North CarOlina Alpha. r c nts a small cottage n ea r th e University and Is mak ing plans to build within the n e xt few years. Maryland AJpha rents a room ncar Gouchcr. Columbia Alpha. Florida. Alpha and Florida Beta hav e the usc ot roome furni s hed by th e college which Is satisfactory except In the caae ot Fl o rida Beta Florida State College for "Vomen Is large; many or th e traternltiee have houses, and Florida Beta Is In real need of a hOU88 to enable the c h apler to develop as it should. A lot has a lr eady been purchase d, and I h ope by next convention we may be able to r e port that Florida Beta has Its own home. Vlrglnla Beta has no room. due to facult y r egulation, but the loca l Panhellen lc Is endeavori ng to work out a plan whi c h will give all the frat e rnities In Hollins rooms tor their exclus ive usc,-pe rhaps a traternlty building wllh sulles In it tor each tra t e rnlty.
The chapters In Gamma Province vary In size due to local cond itions. Florida Beta. boasts at forty·slx wearers of th e arrow, while othe r chapten have but tw e nt y or twenty-nve members. I am glad to be abl e to report that. regardless ot size, the cha.pters arc as a whole e x ceedi ngl y well unified. I think the larger chapters realized th at their unity walJ In danger and made a special etrort to keep the gll'ls closely united. The result h&8 been most gratifying and I find the largest chapters are perhaps better unified th an some of the amaller ones A large group, congenial. can do big things , and If well unified by strong leaders can make Itselt felt In the lite of the college more etrectlvely than a amaH group.
In every Instance except one, the Dean at Women has spoken In highest t erms of the local PI Beta Phi chapter. The girls are dependable. faithful In their work, and are always ready to do all in thelr power to promote the welfare of the college. Maryland Alpha has played a very prominent part In the Greater G oucher Campaign, and Is to be especIally commended. COl· umbla Alpha 18 the leader In all college activities; N o rth Carolina. Alpha. 18 winning a place on the university campus of r espect and influence never be.fore held by women VirglnllL Beta. holda the preeldency ot student Cov· ernment. the presidency of dramatics and other Important oMce&
The local Panhellenics In Gamma Province are not 8.S etrbctlve as I would like to eee. The college authorltlelJ In moet easee feel that Panhellenlc has little control over the fratemlt1es. and that It can not enfon:e Its decisions. In most In!tancea P .. nhellenlc Is chiefly concerned with rushing

regulations and has too many petty rules which are constantly broken. tound, however, the chapter Interested In Ita local Panhellenlc problema, and working along constru c tive lines to Improve the situation. Practically all Panhellenlcl'J OrreT scholastic cups. Virginia Alpha Is the proud poaseseor ot the Randolph-Macon Women'. College Panhellenlc cup this year.
Scholarship In some ot the chapters In thiJI province Is not aa hleh PI Beta Phi standard . require. One c hapter baa fallen from ftra:t place to tourth, another ranks third, whil e stilt another holds a l ower place for the first semester. One chapter however has exceptionally high echolarahip and we have m e mbtrs from three chapters who have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa. or correepandlng honor societies. Th e large majority ot the chapters have laid flO mu ch stress on campus activities that I f ee l th e re has been a slight lowering ot scholarship. 'Ve have organized a r egu lar "scholarship campaign" In lOme of our chapt ers; we hope r esults will be forth c omlhg next seulon and that every chapter will hold flrst place In scholarship on Its college campus,
Preterentlal bidding Is used In Gamma Province with good results, and has don e much to eliminate th e e vils ot rushing. V e ry f e w bids are losttwo chapters losing none, most ot the others losing only one. The rushing system, while not entirely satisfactory Is much Improved. All college authorities noted Improvement this year over last, and the chapters seem to be solving t.helr dlOlcultlee along thiJI line, slowly no doubt, but surely and e treeUvely, I believe.
The r e lationship between the active chapter and alurnnm In some In· stances Is all that could be des ired The \Vashington Alumnre Club I. a constant source of Inspiration to Columbia Alpha and has been ot unt.,\d assistance to the chapter. As a result Columbia Alpha has a broad nationa l viewpoint, Is Intensely Inte r ested In all national work or the fraternity and co ntrlbutea generously to the Settlement SchOOl, Loan and Endowm enl funds. Maryland Alpha, Florida Alpha, and North Carolina Alpha have the benefi t or assistance rrom local clubs whi c h has meant more to them thl8 yen.r than ever berore. These chapters are learning to cooperate with their Alumnle Advisory Boards more and more with the result that the club and chapter arc drawn closer togeth er Virginia Beta has no Advisory Board, while Virginia. Alpha and Beta have not yet been able to use theirs to much advantage, du e to local conditions . I t ee l that greater cooperation between the alumna! and chapter will strengthen th e c haPt e r. and we are working towards that end.
It Is Interes ting to see that the Florida chapters nre or a decidedly musical lurn-Florlda Alpha lias eight m e mbers of n musical fraternity, and flgures prominently In all college events ot a musical c haracter. Florida Beta haa a member who has composed pieces which have won much favorable comment. Th e Virginia chapters have dramatic ability and nre always w e ll represented In all playa and May Day celebraUons.
I have had the pleasure ot meeting with the Washington, Atlanta and Orlando Alumnm Clubs; to see their enthusiasm and Interest In the lItA ot the fraternity was a source of Inspir'atlon to me and made me realize anew that PI Beta Phi has Ideals which d evelop as time goes on, nnd which help to broaden one 8.S lite passes.
Every chapU!:r In Gamma Province Is endeavoring to mak e Ita group stand tor the hlgllest and best, Is ooon to constructive criticism, and I. struggling toward the high Ideal. of the fraternity. I want to thank each chapter tor Ita splendid cooperation, tor Its courtesy shown me, and tor the benetlts which I have derived from my year's work with th e m. Without the constant assistance from Mrs. Brinkley, and Miss Onken's' advice and patience with my Inexperience I would not have been able to accomplish lhe little that I have done.

REPORT OF DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
Delta Prov'nce Prealdent tub"."_ the following report to P' Beta PM 8rcdertlitJl :
I have vlslted InY seven chaplers once officially during each college year and Indiana Alpha and Indiana Gamma many timea unofficially, I have aleo made Inspection tripe to the petitioning groupe at the Unlvenlty of Louisvllle and the University of K e ntucky.
I am proud of the progreu made by Delta Province the JIll_t two years. I (eel that this growth Is due to a developing national spirit, fostElred by the Inspi:-atlon of the last convention, the Eastern conference. and the strong policy of Internal development advanced by our Grand Council.
Scholarship reporta have .howed Improvement In most chaplers. Indiana Alpha leads her ca.mpus tor the seventh consecutive and Michigan Alpha tor the fourth. Indiana B e ta came trom twenty-third to ftrst place, wltb her frelhman also in the lead.
AJJ for honors, it leems our province haa really been deluged. They are given In detalled r e ports elsewhere, but I want to mention Michigan Beta' s three Phi Beta. Kappas and Indiana Beta's one, while every cliapter has many members In local honorary fraternities. Indiana Alpha won not only the May Queen but also e v e ry attendant. Indiana Gamma haa May Queen besides winning the most popular and the most beautiful girl contest. MJchtgan Alpha a.lso won May Qu ee n and the most popular clrL A freshman at Indiana Beta had the honor of writing the "Jordan River Revue," the university play.
We have three chapters living In their own homes and the others renting adequate house. until they are able to build. Indiana Delta. haa paid tor lUi lot and hope. to build IIOOn.
In this, her last r e port, D e lta Province President wlahea to e:zpreu her sincere appreciation for the assistance given h e r and h e r province by the chaperons, the alumnte, the Advi so ry Boards, and the unfailing, ever present help of Grand Council.

REPORT OF EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT
EpaiJoll Pro vi tlce Pre.ida&t ""bmit. th e 10Ilo1.O("11 report:
Because or unavoidable circumatances I was unable to make chapter vlslUi thla year until Marc h. Never before have I realized so atrongly how necessary It Ie to make an annual Inspection trip early in the college year.
Ep.llon Province has been working hard on scholarllhip these past two years. Illinois Zeta, Illinois D e lta, Wisconsin Beta, WLaconsln Alpha, and North Dakota Alpha have been firet on their respective camPUse8. Learning the lesson at individual pride and responsibility haa been a bl factor In raising chapter standings.
11I1nol8 Zeta and lllinois Eta are to be congratulated on their beautiful new home. These have m e ant long hard day. on the part of their alumnre. At present every house In the provinc e bas an excellent chaperone. Pi Pbl owe. much to theee aplendld women who give so much of their time and thoucht to Its girls.
I found every Advleory Board In the province doing excellent work with the chaplen. Thla was not true & few yean ago. That their work obtaJned re.ulu Is shown by the advancement of their «rOupe.
Many ot the girls In Epsilon Province hold Important college otncea. Mlnneeota. Alpha haa th e presidency and vlce-preeldency ot the W. 8. O. A..
Considering things from all vtewPOln18, I teel that aU ot my chapters have COrl8Clentlou.ely tried to juetlty their exlatence aa a grouP. Trying to put their college and fraternity ahead of themselves has been one o t their chief alms.
I have worked with my girls for silt years and saying Coodbye 1. One ot the hard6l!lt things I have ever done. I have spent many hours on my fraternity work and I have been repaid a hundred fold by the loyalty and cooperation of my chapters. They have proved to me that It Is th e things we work tor In this world that mean something to us.
Perhapa I am a little selfleh In thinking myeelt more fortunate than other province otftcers. I'll teU you the reason why. Ever since I went Into otftce I have had our Grand President In my I can't t e ll }tou what a JOY It has been to be able to talk over province conditions with her. I shall never forget her ever ready spirit of helpfulneh and Inspiration.
I want to than k the alumnae tor their inestimable help In standing back of tbelr chaptel'8 and me. What a force we would be It everyone of our 14,000 PI Phis were actively Interested in the fraternity.
Last ot all I want to thank my active girls tor their never ending loyalty. They have made my work a pleasure by always trying to aee tblnp in the right way. They have always seen the purpose of my aug· geatlons and never once have I telt that they reeented any criticism which I may have given. I f eel justified In 8J!Surtng my .eueceeaor that they wlll give her the same splendid coope raUon that they have always given me.

REPORT OF ZETA PR.OVINCE PRESIDENT
Zda Prov4nc6 Pr6Mtmt 8UbmU8 tht:J following report:
The .even chapters ot Zeta Province have been vlelted by me twice since the last convention. the visits of Inspection being made before Thanksgiving of each tall. I was received. by each chapter with most gracious hospitality and consideration, and I found the girls eager to enlarge their national vieWpOint and anxious for 8uggestlone.
Initiation versus Graduation, or the n eed of four year glrl8 haa been a problem in the province as the national ranking of some of the chap ters has been lowered by this point. There Is a tendency for the smaller colleges to lOse many 8tudents to universities or special traJnln« achools after one or two years, while the chapters In the larger colleges have a great many advance standing etudenl8 each year to choose from, these coming from the junior or small colleges.
Scholareblp has been emphasized as much as possible and in eeveral casea there baa been nOtable progreas made during the two years. Iowa Gamma hu gained the first place amon, the thlrty.nve national men's and women's traternltles at Iowa State College. Iowa Beta haa won the Panhellenic CliP for the third co n secu tive scmcster and If successful once more the cup will be permanenUY thel.rs. Iowa Zeta and Missouri Alpha have each raised their ranking several placea and Iowa and Missouri Gamma have had the highest ranking indivIdual students Of their r eepecllve colleges. Two members of Iowa Zeta and one of Missouri Beta have been honored by Phi Beta. Kappa.

WIth few exceptions, the IndlvJclual girls are Interested in activities. and Pi Phi chapters hold their proportion of prominent places.

Working together their combined forces hav e raised co nsid erabl e funda tor both th e Settlement School and th eir chapter hou&e. CalifOrnia Gamma has worked out a splendid aet of by·laws.

These same problems, howeve r, have brought to the ad vlsory committee the r ealization nnd re8pOnsibillti es of its duties, and have lLW"akened the chapter to the benefits it can receive through the assistance of a. strong, active advisory co mmittee. As the year draws to a close, I am sU"c the chapter, the advisory committee. and the alumne club are all working together with a renewed spirit In the bonds at PI Beta PhI.

The program. are quite well balanced, each club teellng the need at some purely social meetIngB In addition to the reQ.ulred meetings and business session8. Three c lubs have not had all the required programs during the year nnd it Is hoped that they will plan tor these In making out their progt'ams tor the coming year. Whenever It Is J)OI!IBlble, definite dates should be arranged In advance tor all meetings and a program planned. Lancaster club Is going to join with the PI Bela.

The clubs In Bela Province have shown their keen Interest In the Settlement School by co ntributing during 1923-24, $4286.66 nnd during the past year , $4.G6tL65 or nearly $9.000.00 since the last conventio n. This shows a. per capita average ot over $10.00 throughout the Province. Cleveland again leads the clubs with a donation during th e past year at $2,200.00. Each year Cleveland seema determined to get just a little bit more. 'Vhlle the Settlement School Is perhaps the greatest WOrk at the alumnae clubs, one mUlSt not judge them by their donations as some club's are helping active chapter. flnsnclally. In the small er clubs th e money Is usually raised by eubscrlptlo n and th e other clubs use the methods which have been round successtul by all c lubs: Christmas cards, bridge partice. rumm age sales and agencies tor various products. The Philadelphia club has had an open meeting tor the Settlement School. Pittsburgh club gave a beneftt performance at "Sun UP."
Nearly eve ry club was represented at the \Vashlngt on and was able to receive the Inspiration that came tram that large gathering at PI Beta Phis. Several clubs were vlalted during the past year by Mrs. Nickereon . I hope that the time will come 80metlme when every club may receive once eve ry two yearsut least a vIsit tram an officer.
From the Arro 'w mailIng list nam es and addresses were sent to each club In the hope that som e ncw members might join At the prellcnt time It would seem that there are clubs organized In all places wher e there Is a euftlclcnt number. The Pi Phis In Atlantic City have met a tew tim es but there are not enough to have a club.
I would like to tak e this opportunity to thank nil officers and m e mbers ot Orand Council who have helped me 80 mu c h while I have had thl" offl('e

REPORT OF GAMMA PROVINCE V]CE·PRESIDENT
Gamma Province, conaistlng of flve clubs In 1923 has In the Interim of con,'entions added three In Florida, those at DeLand and Orlando last year and one tit St. Petersburg this spring. The paid-up membership f o r th e two years has remained approximately the same. slightly In exccl!I8 or 200. In Lynchburg Is a. group ot eight e nthu sla8t1c PI Phis, who have h eld three meetlnge and given etroctlve help to t h e acUve c hapt e r In ru shing. They await only th e graduation of two Virginia Alpha seniors to apply tor a national cha rter. A similar group at Lakeland, Fla" has a8818ted Florida Beta In rUl!lhlng and will, I hope, be organized soon.
The big thing In the Interim ot conventions waa the Easlern Conter ence, April 11 and 12, 1924, which, upon the Invitation ot the Wal!lhlngton Alumn ee C l u b, asscmbled n ear l y 1200 PI Phis In \Vashlngton. The co ming ot such a body ot w omcn trom points as dl8tant as the PaclHc coast at their own expense Is proof ot an alumnle Interest In the traternlty ot untold potentialities. Its effect has been evidenced throughout the Province by a splendid spi rit or coopenltlon on the part ot club omcers and a more general and vital Interest In WOrk tor the Settlement School. J teel that th e ProvInce 18 In a very healthy and pro8perous condition, At n o time s in ce as.umIng th e duties ot this office have dues been sent in 80 l)rOmptly or the work o r clubs been so w e ll r epo rted.
The two large ('Iubs send out printed programs In th e tall and th e others plan their year' s work in ndvuncc. AU c lubs, with tho possible exception ot' DeLand, hold monthl y meetings, which are r eported a8 Intereating and W"lth a generally high average in attendance. In addition to Its local meetlngl!l the North Carolina Club stili maintains Its t'our all-state meellngs. ,\Vashlngt on and North Carolina have scnt In constitutio ns r evised and up to date.
Work for the Settlement School has been general and en thus ias tic, the contribution of $1,609 tor 1923-4 having nearly doublcd to 12,812 this year. Of thll!l amount Washington sent $1.900, Richmond, $250; Baltimore, $187 S0; Atla.nta, $100; DeLand, $36.50; Orlando, $30; North Carolina, $20; Columbia Alpha, $125; Mf\,ryland Alpha. $100: Virginia Beta, $25; Florida Beta. $18, and there- was an Individual gift of $20. The Washington club wi s h es to upre8s Its gratitude to the fraternity at l arge tor Its generous respon se to the stock ing orrer, which mnde possible a bonus at $1.218 t'or the Settlement School. New means r epo rt ed tor r aising money w e r e thE" sale of Faahlon Hose, Munder etchings and H askin's "Am erican Governme nt." M ost clubs were enthusiastic over the open meeting at which the s lides w e re shown, accompanied by a talk on the Settlement Schoo l and a sale at products trom the School.
Contrlbu tlons to the F e llowshiJ) Fund of $100 from Washington. 120 from Orl a nd o, $Ui trom Atlanta and $10 trom North Ca rolina totaled $145.
All c lubs near llcllve chapters report very cordia l relations maintained through stro ng advisory committees. The c lubs help In rushing n o t only nnandally but in per80nai service, a lso in the maintena n ce at proper lICholnrshlp and social standard!! and In t'urnlshlng ot' chapte r rooms. The Baltimore C1 ub feels handicapped by the tact tha t Maryland Alpha has tor leveral years Initiated almost no local girll!l. 80 that the club Is now deprived of new lite t'rom that sou r ce ]n tlplte at this th ey maintain a very flne relationship with the chapte r North Carolina. on th e other h and, Is makIng steady and rapid growth through the Inftux ot' members from North Carolina Alpha..
Actlnl' upon the 8Ul'eeeUOn o t the Historian, lette were sent to a1l cluba In the tall, urging that vlalta of one or more member. be macfe to nearby clube. when poulble. In the South geographical leolatlon made this Impos.lble tor all except DeLand and Orlando, who held one or two joint meeting&. The Ume ot meetings In Baltimore and Waahlnston seemed to prove an In.uperable obetacle there. Effort. were aleo made to a.rr&nee Day celebration. In Joca.llt1ee without cluba, but sueceaa wu reported only trom Lynchburc.
I ehould like to repeat the suggestion that every club be etrongly urced to hold one open m eeting In the Interim ot conventio n., the ea.atern halt ot the country one year and the western the other, that at thls meetlne the s lides be shown. a talk given on the work ot the School and a sale ot Ita products held, and that a schedule for uee ot the elides be arran«ed through the Province Vlce-Presldente with the member of the committee havln&, them In charge.
r believe that a considerab l e sum Is lost to the alumn. treasury annually, by the ta.et that many ducs are paid. atter the national dues have been sent In In November, and that clubs neglect to account for these additional due., In moat casea probably beCause th e sum la In8lgnlftcant. I theretore .ul'geat that May 1 be .!'let ae a .econd dcnnlle date when It shall be the duty of each club to send In all dues which have been paid alnce November 16.
SUII rejoicing In the aucces8 of the Eutem Co nterence the Washington c lub hopei that such confe ren ces will become a practice in the Inte rim of conventlonll and otters all data. derived trom Its own upe.rJence to any club desiring to undertake such a project.
In order to organise more e l'l'ecUvcly the PI Phis who live near club. but do not aflUiate with them and to e nllure a larger proportion ot the chapter gTaduates going into alumnae w ork, I would auneat the appointment of a standing committee on membership to advise and aa818t clubs to this end, thi s co mmittee to oonaist ot one member from a large c lub, one from a ama11 club and one "Isolated alumna," and to consider, among other plana the J>088ible adoption ot the "a]umnre Initiation," In u"e at Bloomington, Ind., and given In model form before the Ea"tern Co nterence.
In clo"lng I wish to expre88 my sincere appreciation to club offlcers tor their aplendld cooperation. to Mrs. Logan, who personally vlelted all the clubs In Oa.m ma Province and made a most helpful report on each, and to the national frat e rnity tor the privilege and pleaaure of the auoclatlona Which th18 work has brought.

REPORT OF DELTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT
Delta Province has gained three new clubs aince the last convention, making a present total of eleven clubs. Wh e n Gamma and Delta Provinces were divided In lU3 the roB Included three clubs In Mic higan-at Ann Arbor, Detroit and HlIladale; and ftve clubB In Indiana-at Bloomlnston, Evansville, Franklin.

The combined membertlhlp ot aU clube In Delta Province 210 thl. Ye&l' ... compared with '37 last year, an apparent decrease ot about onentLh.

Th e last Secret ARROW ShOW8 only about 3,000 out ot our total body o f more th a n 14,000 alumnm 8S paid m e m bers of c hart e red clubs, Will th e n ex t r epo rt show a les 8 numb e r or will the propose(1 alumnm r eo rgani zation be such that alumna!! int e rests ca n be r evived Rnd etl'cngthe n ed? Why ca nnot alumnre c lubs have a..s close an organization as the nctlve c hapters o t our fraternity? I b l'Ueve PI Bela Phi means all much to us as alumna!, and more even, than as actives. I b e lieve that a large degree ot th e sti mulu s and Inspiration ot our active c hapte rs Is due to th e contacts mad e at co nv e ntion and th e enthusiasm carried back to th e local group. I believe that our a lumn., clubs need to have th e same national vieWpOint and th at It could be brought about by having regularly accredited alumnlll delegates se nt from each cl ub with expenses paid by an alumnll! "convention tund" slmllnr to the convention tund whi c h finan ces ou r active delegates.
I would lik e t o propose an Increase In nati o nal alumnre ducs sufficie nt to finance In a large measure the expe nses ot a delegate trom each c hartf! red club to th e biennial convention ot PI Beta PhI.
I, there tore, r ecom m e nd an Increase ot alumnm n ational dues from $.50 per capita to $2.00 per cap ita This w ould be equiva l ent to the propOrtion of annual due s Into the co nventio n fund by each active PI B eta Phi In college and surely the alumnm can do as mu c h. With a t ax o f $2.00 per capita and our present group ot more than 3,000 affiliated alumnre we W(1u ld have a conve nti o n fund o f $12 ,000.00 every tw o years. With ou r present r oll at 112 chartered clubs and 10 Province Vi ce-P r esidents we WOUld have a practi ca l basis for sending th cse 122 delegates with an a ve rage expense ot $100.00 per capita. Disbursements from the a lumn re tund last year amountCil to about $700.00. If this Is a ralr aver age alumnre dues ot $2.25 would be n ecessary to make our department self-suppor ting. With th e (Hldilio n ot two or three hundred alurnnll! from active rank s each yea r w e might lloon become more than self·supportlng.
W e contribute g ene rousl y to the Settlement School ca.ch yea r. can w e nOt contribute to our own alum nil! fund , (eve n at .some 108s to the Settlement School tor a yea r or two) In order that we may become a body st r ong e nough to h and l e the r es pon s Ibility of our Settlement School ?
Alumn ae contributi ons fr om Del ta Province to the Settlement SchOOl amounted to U,247 .00 this year as compared with $1,430.00 la s t year (a decrease ot twe lve per cent) although th e r e wu a decrease of twenty p e r ce nt In the membership. We gave rn ore then in propol·Uon to ou r n umbers.
Active chapters In Delta ProvInce gave $1 58.00 l ast year and $11 ;;.00 thi s )'ear.

Hillsdale nnd Chattanooga ce lebrated with the ac ll ve c hapters nnd th e M elllphis nnd Falls City Clubs en joy ed luncheon meetings.
I would like to emphasize th e need of receiving annual repOrts from the Club Pre8ident about the year's work and l OCa l problems. The Province vtce-Preil id ent needll this iuLimate contact

REPORT OF THE OOlfMITTEE ON EXTENSION
TAe Oommittee on Eztenllion 'IIbmU, the following rC/}Ort to Pi Beta
PM In Convention:
Tbe procedure ot petitioning has been revlst>d and the pew forms have been sent to all officers nnd active chapters tor filing, It Is the bope of the Committee to arrange the procedure so that the nctlve chapters wIll hn,..e more knowledge tban heretofore of the petitioning groups before the tbne of COD\'ention. }"our groups aTe roolly to petItion this convention. They nre: PI Alpha ot the Vniverslty ot Alabuwa, Tuscaloosa , Alabama ; '1'rl Xl ot the University of Louisville. Loiusvllle, Kentucky; Delta Pb.! Kappa of William nnd Mary. 'Vlllinm Sl.mrg. Virginla; and Sigma Delta PI of Ohio Wesleyan, Delaware. Ohio. All tour ho\'e met the rigid requirements of 1'1 Beln Phi, ha.ve been inspeCted by Grand Councll, Province Pr{>Sld e nts and representatives or the two nearest chapters of each, and have received enthusiostlc recommendations from these inspectors.
It Is t h e opinion at the Committee On Extension thnt these groups are Teady for cha. rters from PI Beta PhI. They " ' llI not be better prepared to take up the duties of a PI Beta Pbl chapter If kept waiting another two years,- it will only lessen their strength. Two of the groups, Willlam and Mary and Louisville groups, met every requirement excep ting our high stnndard ot SCholarship at the time ot the la8t Convention, and were not allowed to petition because ot It. They now have met the scholarship reflulrement. group nt Alabama conSists at brllllant Stud 4c-ntS, lending all frat e rnities In the number ot Phi Beta Kappas. and holding thi" sc h olarsh ip c up . Locals nre not allowed to have chapter houses, but upon llutlonallzatlon the University Is very liberal In nlding them to own their cho lKer homes. The group at Ohio Wesleyan is 8 strong one in a coll ege Which has been admitting in the post two yeurs the oldest and best notional fraternities for women.
Two groups are ready to begIn active petitioning . These fiJ;"e: Alpba Tau Zeta of Soutbern Brancb of the I.·nh'ersity of Callto rn io at Los Angeles, CaHtornla; and Sigma Beta 'Lps1lon ot the University of K entucky, Lexingtoll, Kentucky. At the South ern Branch of the University of California almost all ot the oldest national fraternities for women bove entered In the past yenr. The group at University of Kentucky 1s a strong local, competing successfully against some of the best nationals.
Alpha Pbi Sigma ot the University ot Pennsylvania (lnd Tau Delta Theta ot Wittenberg College hnve worked in the tnce of repeated dIscouragement. A few new groups have requested information: Theae are groups at: University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland; Millsaps College, Jacksou, Mississippi; Rol1lus Co llege, Winter Park, Flortda; Kent State College, Kent, Ohio; Miami University, Oxtord, Ohio; Monmouth College, Monmouth, lJl.; and DePaul University. Chi·
eago. Groups at Alfred University, SU9Q.uehuDua. Lnke Forest, !'\ebrJlskn \Yesleyan, New York Coiverslty nnd Adelphi have been ad,' lscd of their poor geogrilphlcnl loentlon. OPI)()sltlon to rni\' crslty of Mexico, Woshburn, MlebJg8.ll Agricultural College and Curroll College has cause(] them to be discouraged, and Kirksville Stu tc 'I'el!chers ' College, Carnegie Tech., nod Sa-uta Barbara State Teachers' College are considered professional schools. Groups nt Charleston, South Carolina, snd Miami ('niverslty hu,·c evidently drO)I)OO con'esI>ondence with the fraternity. l'udoubtedly our conservath'e extension policy is causing even fewer groups to seek information from our fraternity. Only eleven new groups bnye nPI)roached us si nce last Convention, uud four of those are profeSSional schools. Our fraternity Is large and it Is wise to exercise the greatest care in self'Cting Dew ChalJters, but tbe Question Is: "\Vlll this ultrfi-conscr\'aLlsm uiUrnatt:'lr be tl dlsud"alltage and detriment to PI Bet.

7'he chairman 0/ the Ilcholors/tilJ committee lulJmi t ll the 'ollowi'llg r eport to Grand Council:
'l.'be scholarship committee has ond put into practice for the years 19'>...3-2-1 and 19'>..-1-2;:; u revised system ot reporting scholar ship nttempting to meet the needs of IndlYi<1ual chapters. The po!nts or difference are briefly 8S follows:
1. The grade columns 8 re filled by the cbapU:>r with the hours or A, B, C, or D; 9O-l00%, 80- 70 %; I, II , Ill ; etc., or whatever dMlgnation used by the college.
2. The total hours of each g r ade are multiplied by the mt"dium value assigned to that grade by tbe college, A-OO%. B--85%. etc. I>rodu cts nre added and divided by tbe total number of bours, giving our average in n percen t of ]OO-oot in dechnnls.
(1) Bours condition ed. which represent a grade from 1 to 10% below passing, nrc given a Yulue 5% below paSSing.
(2) Bours incOml)lete are not counted.
(3) Hours failed, Tcpresenting a grade trom 0 to 50%, are gh'en tbe multiplier 25.
3. The grade thus obtained repr!'sents fairly the work done in that institution but Jt Is sti ll not eo mparnble wltb those ot otber institution s where grading muy be much higher or much low er. 'Ve therefore take It tor granted thnt n group or women' s fraternities would do work of not greatly varying quality no matter what the institution W e all ow 83 to 86% 88 the average of women's fraternities and find bow much lowcr tbe l oca l women's fraternity average 1s than 83% or
TUE ARROW OF PI BETA PUI
higher tban 86ro. The difference In the former case is added to the chapter's average ond in the latter subtracted.
That this, in n measure, remedies the unfairn ess in ranking chapt e rs we rccl sure, althougb N e w York Delta wbl c b ranks fir st ot tourteen women's frater nities on its cnmpus 'with on average ot 76 Is given oft co rrectio n ot 7.5 nnd stilt ranks only 46th in tbe frat ernity, below many with mu c h poorer standings on th e ir own campuses . In the case of Ohio Alpha and Ohio Beta where the diffe r e nt grndlngs have long been a so ur ce ot prote st, Obio Alpha was cut 4 points and 8t11l ranked 10th unci Ohio B e ta which has done poo r work last year was awarded 2 points and yot rankc<l 62od, so r e lative standings nre preserved.
4. Annual r epo rts ar e made by the province supervisors on the work of the chapters from September to June ond upo n this and not n calendar year, nIl rRuklngs are based.
It Is with grilUncation, that we note that I owa Beta wblch h eld first place on Its own Cnlll l)US tor so long ranks first in the fratemity for the yenr 1923-24 with a record free (rom condition and failure tor th e year. Yirginin AIl>h a, second, did 110t faU within Our m othod of correcting grades b eca use cha pt e rs th e re are !lot ranked, but It ba s had no conditions or failures In three of th e tour t e rms of last yenr. Nevada Alpha, third, nnd Ind ianu A.lphn, fourth, both held first plu ce on their CAmpus!.!s for the enUre y e nr.
\V e bad not sufllclent d ata from f OUrt een cha pters to make a correction in their average if need be. Therefore Mns811chusetts Alpha, lllinois Epsilon and Missouri Beta, tor instan ce, mny be unfaIrly Tated.
A suggestion was made that cbapters be rated by percentage of conditions anci failures. Of tbe 214 terms of 1923-24-25 of wblch we have charted th e grades, 66 terms or 30.80/0 are free from condition or failure. These bowe\'er are confined to 3 7 chapte r s ten of whlcb, Vermont Alpha, Verm ont Beta, Xortb Ctlrolina Alpha, WisconsIn Alpha, \V lsconsin Beta, IIllnois Epsilon, I1UnoJs Zeta, Illinois Eta, I owa Alpha, and Iowa Beta had the year 1923-24 entirely clea r; and tour of these, Vermont B e ta WisconsIn Alpba, Illin ois Zeta and Illinois Eta have all terms r epo rted clenr. Th e p e rcentage of condition o r failure rare ly exceeds one or tw o percent but we find It serious in th e case of Minn esota Alpha whlcb has 10% tailed and 80/0 conditioned for the first term of last year and Colorado Alpha has 90/0 failed and 8% conditioned. Ma ssachusetts Alpha had 70/0 failed the first of last year and 6% thIs yenr. Kansas Alpha failed 50/'0.
Of the 153 term s ot 199-3-24, PI Phl chapters ranked first 24 times or 15.7 %. second 18 times or 11.80/0 , and third 30 times or ]9.6% a total of hal! of the time that Pi Phi has been first, second 01 third. Nin e chapters, New York Delta, Michigan Alpha, Indiana Alpha, Tennessee Alpba, Wis co n sin Beta, Illin oiS Eta, Iowa Ret" , Colorado Beta, and Nevada Alpba held first 1)lace tor the year. New York D elta and Colorado Beta held scholarshIp cups. Illinois Delta was drat in the

In the records for 1024·25 os yet incomplete, Orc>gon Beta worked to first nnd S£'COnd place for the first time since its installation , hut lost the scholnrship cup by n trnctlon ot n point. Nevada Alpha, first tor two years, sLnks to third place. Texas AJpha. first tor three years, sinks to suth. Michigan Alphn continues to be first, for a8 th e ir chair· mon says, "It is almost a tradition tor Pi Phi to be first." Indiana Alpha continues to hold first place tor the seventh consecutive semester. Wyoming Alpha comes back to first place and wins the Pnnhrutenlc cu p. Iown Beta holds its long record of firsts . North Dakota Alphn ranking last among the women's frnternlties on its campus In 1923 24 ris es to first place.

But to Wisconsin Alpba and Texas Alpha go the laurels.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON S[RVEY AND STANDARDI7ATION
The report ot the Committee on Sun'ey nnd Standardization tor the year 1924·25 consists really in the large table at data presented to you at tbis time.
Our work has met almost insurmountable dUTicultIes this yoor tlnough the recent nnd unexpected Inability ot all ot the committee members (except the chairman) to act on the committee. One of our members, MJ.ss Nellie Wallbank, unexpectedly died tollowlng nn operation early In April. 8S you know tram your June ARROW. Anolher member, Miss Ayres, Is in Europe for tile summer. These two places were filled most efllciently and exceptionally well by two members of the Ames Al umme Club, Mrs. S. A. Knapp and Mrs. E. A. l'attenglli. Later the other two regular members of the committee discovered that their duties as teachers prevented their working the brief time that we had atter the mote.rial was in ou r hands. Due to the bard wo r k and stoica l persistence ot the two recently appoInted members we were able to complete the chart.
The material tor our table is complied from reports 01 two kinds. T ke fitst is that which is made by offIcers visiting ·One ot the blanks on wbich these reports are made tollows. These visiting

These are Indionu Alpha, LouiSiana Alpha, PNlnsylv8nia Alphu, Columbia Alpbn, Wisconsin Alpha, Iown .Beta und Tennessee Alpha. 1t Is pleasing to note that six chapters which were last yenr in th e lowest third, hn\' e this year ('limbed to places In the highest tbird. Four chnpters, Vp,rmont Alpha, JIllllol s Eta, !Ii'evadn Alpha, and Arizona Alphn ha\'e dropped fl'om the first to the last third. The six cbUllters JUllklng the ulmost phenolllclial gnins are lHiu ols Zeta, climbing from tirth' th to first place; Missouri Gamma from s!xtY·tourth to ninth; Ind lnnu Delta, s ixty·seventh to twelfth ; 'J'exas A1l>hll, 11lty·first to fourtt'Cntb; lorllnna !:Seta, sixty·sLxth to fifteenth; and Illin ois BeLa from f1fty·seventh to twenty·first.

The work of the Social Exchang e Committee for the year 1924 ·2:5 was grea tly Improved du e to the enlarging of the Committee to t e n m e mbe rs, a represen tativ e for each pro vin ce , In the fall a schedule of work for the )"tar was made and closely adhered to. 'fhe Committee has placed its social suggestions in th e bands of chapters through bulletins. 'Tb e bulletins issued this year \,.ere the Stunt Bulletins which included the stunts entered In the Cup Contest the spring be fore Following tbis tb e first of the year a bulletin on WInter and Spring Parties was se nt to all chapters, The last bulleUn was the one on Rusbing, whi ch was sent out the first of May . A call was sent to the chapters for suggestions for 8 spring nishing house party but the committee found that this form of entertainment bas been prohibited In practically all co lleges by either Panh ellenlc or college authorities, committee was d e lighted to see that this form of entertainment is gradually dyIng out. The two bull etins been used most by all chapters tbe last two yean are tbe on stunts and rushing, It Is hoped to make these annua.l bulletins.

Owing to th e In cr eased rrramher of committee m e mbers this year It wa s necessary to change the form used in Judging. Each m e mber chose the best entry from her province. These were sent to the chairman who chose 8 committee of three from the KUDsss City Alumm.c C lub, who awnrded the cup.
In the lo st three years th e chairman has noticed 8 gradual change in the type of ente.rtainment used by the cb8l)lers. Charming teas, musicals and e,'cnings nt ennIs. intermingled with bright orIginal partl es and c1ever stunts, are being used by most chapters. Th e committee is grateful to ench chapter r esponding to the many calls trom the me nlbers.

REPORT OF HEALTH OOMMITTEE
TAe He«"" Comm£ttee Of Pi, B eta Phi frat ernity bellI to pr ele,.t to Grow Cov"cil th,e foll.o1oinu report of l00rk for th c year 1924·25:
It was with de e p regret that the <..-om mlttee accepted the d ecIs ion ot GraDd Council not to print the Health Manual which Dr. Matzke had submitted In 1923, and which had been accepted by Grand Co uncil. The committee r ea lizes thllt the rea son tor th e dec ision was based upon financial reasons alone, nnd hopes thal in tbe tuture some way may be tound tor the printing and distributing ot it among the members ot the traternlty .
Dr. MAtzke bus spent considerab le tim e in un endeavor to revise the Manual, and to cull trom it certain parts that could be used as a brlet outllne. as suggested by Grand Council, It is Dr. Matzke's opinion, bowove r, that the unity and usetulness ot tbe work would be greatly injured by SO dism e mbe ring It. She 1s willing, neverthe less, to work rarther on the problem, and is hopetul that something may be accomplished through a new approach to the question
Another or tbe committee's plans has been to urge alumnll' clubs to make it a matter ot investigation to discov er the college require ments In Hygiene and Physical education Ln the colleges represented in the club. Tbls will bring th e activ e chapters and clubs together o\'er a De w and vital interest. It may also lead the way to ulumnre suggestion for more and better teaching ot these important s ubject8 In their various colleges.
The experiment of Dr. Mutike in th e t'niverslty of Missouri has demonstrated very definitely what can be done by college women all over the country when their Lnteres t Is aroused, nnd their enthusiasm enlisted In the cause ot h e alth. The important fact to stress iJ:J. this connection Is the sane approach to the girl berselt. It Is necessary that the appeal mad e shall be one tbat the girl understands Rnd ap-
lb:PoRT8 or Cow:),( 1'I'1T.I'.8 117
predates; that the phm submitted sha ll be one that the girl gives her sanction to, and that s he Is willing to put into practice beeause It appeals to ber judgment, and 18 recognized by her 8S tltting her particular case, nnd tllling her individual need.
Dr. Matzke bas tbls last year in an active study ot the preeent problems ot the girl in h er pr('fWnt environ m e nt. Thi8 gives the point ot view ot the girl herself, and not the adult view of what she has been cons idered to be. Dr . Matzke has been working with ra.thcr than for the girl. The tlndlngs of this year's study are 80 Inter· esting and unusual that the Health Committee begs leave to hare Dr Matzke present them at the com ing .conventlon. They feel that 80 mueh more can be galnoo by weh a presentation to tbe fraternity at large wb e re Ol)portuulty will be given for discussion, than can po88ibly oome from a printed report.
The Health Committee Is planning 8 meeting at co nv ention, ond hopes then to outline a progressive plan of action that will shortly be felt In alumnre c lubs and active cha pter s. The committee ba s been greatly handicapped through the distances that separate Us members and prevent personal conferences. It ha8 also felt that tbe work bas been delayed because of its inability to come Into personal touch with the clubs nud chapters. Iu spite of these drawbacks, it feels that there is on honest endeavour on the part ot the c lubs and c hapters to with its I)rogrnw and measur(>l up to Its Ideals. llespectfully Bubmitted, EDITH H. GORDON.
REPORT OF THE MUSIC
The activities of the n ew Music Cowmlttee since lust convention, when It wos appointed tor th e tlrst time , have not been many. The committee bftd no precedent on which to work; Its efforts, therefore, were pure ly pioneer In character.
The prize song for 1923 uThe Pi Phi Pal Song" hos been publtsbed by the authors In a very attractive style. It Is one of our most beau· tifnl songs and every PI Phi will enjoy o\\'nlng a copy.
The plall to publ1sb a supplementary pamphlet tor the new song book did not develop, because no songs we re handed In far pubUcation
This year plans are in progress for publishing such a pamphlet of song'S composed of songs handed 10 for the contest.
The chief Interest In the spbere of this committee Is the gl1t ot the beautiful sterling silver vase to PI Beta Phi, by the New York AiumOle Club, to be presented tor the prize song which In all former contests bas received only recognition for Its value. Our song writers wUl now bave a tangible and worthy prize for whi c h to work.
The New York Club tendered the cup to PI Beta Phi with "the tollowlng Dote of dedication:

This c up Is to be presented at each Convention t o r the InterIm ot Con· v ent Ions. to the active c hapt e r l!ub mlttlng the song c h oae n tor the Prize Song.
The N e w Y ork Song Cup Committee suggests that suffic ient meot b e made bet ore eac h COntest 80 that Interest In the Songs ot PI Phi will not lag; and that etro rl be made to have th e delegates leave each convention knowing th e Prize Song ana as many others ot the good 80neS handed.

The New York Club takes grea t pl easu r e In making this gltt to PI Beta Phi , and hopes that the vase. by promulgaUng a greate r Int eret t In PI Phi singing, will be an incentive tor the wdtlng at many beautltul PI Phi 80ngs, and prove Indeed, " A Cup i n Praise ot Song."

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON cnAPTER BOUSE BUIIJDING
Following the Estes Park convention, a standing committee on Chapter Bouse Building and FLnancing was named, but the pe.rsonnel was not completed until the end ot 1923. united actlon by !l committee whose members are scattered from tbe Atlantlc tc> the Paei.oc Is dLtflcult, but finally n letter wns formulated and sent to every PI Be ta Phi chapter:
Tbe letter embodied three points:
1. If a chapter had bum a chapter bouse or remodeled a house tc> serve as Il chapter borne, it was asked to send to tbe committee plans, blue prints, nnd detailed s)X'Cificatlons ot the bouse, toge ther with n resume ot the mE.'ans uS('(} to finance same.
2. It II chnpter were planning to bulld or remodel, the. committee olrered to help in any way possible.
S. Every chapter was asked tor suggestions as to making this committee of real service to the organization.
In response to these lelter&--und{\r clause 1 we did not receive a single set of plnns, so our hope to haH plans to lend chapters templatillg building, "went a -glimm E.' ring."
Under clause 2-otterlng to help chapters wanting to tulld, we bad several calls for plaus, to b e looked oyer as a starter toward building. Then there were calls for money. Some cha.pters wrote the committee, some wrote Grand Council, "Some addressed Miss Onken and others Inquired ot !\fiss Stuart regarding loans.
Seven thousand dollars-all that has been at our disposal In the past two years, bas been 101lnl'd In sums not exceed Lng $2,000 at 6% interest, to help finance cbapter housl's; and ten times as much could ha ve been used If we had had tt.
In reply to the request lor suggestions on tbe work and scope ot the committee's activities, mnny ot the cha pters repliE-d, nnd the letters were Interesting.
One chapter asked thnt provision be mnde to buy stock tn the ious bouses; another asked for contributions for n bazaar; and all wanted new ways of corning money. Mnny chapters are handicapped by university regulations nnd Bsked lor suggestions ns to how to come these obstacles.
One chapter inquired regarding PI Beta Phi china, and asked it this committee couldn't undertake having an open stock pattern of PI Phi cbina made that would sell at a reasonnble figure nnd could be bought ill large or small quantities os It was needed. While entirely dltf('l('llt from other requests, this last suggestion strikes me as excellent, thougb [ am not sure about it coming und C" r the province ot this committee.
'.rhe stumbling blocks that we have found In our two years' work, nnd wblch would bave to be overcome It this Is to be continu ed as n standing committee, are numerous:
Ttl!: ARROW OF PI BETA Pm
1. An application blank, l egal aUke In 311 states, to be sent to chapters asking loans , Is imperativ e. It would give the Information as to interest, security. etc., In businesslike (orm and would save mu ch de lay.
2. More mon ey is necessary.
3. lfore publiCity. 80 tbnt the cha pters would know whfTe to apply tor loans, whether to the Grand Council, the Grand President, th e Grand Treasurer, the Committee Chairman, etc., also, the person or persons to whom npplicntloDS are made should be required to O. K. the loan before It Is paid by the Grand Treasurer.
In the past two years, the Grand President was approving loans, and the committee was doing lik e wi se. No one kn e w at the moment, ex(.-ept the Grand Treasurer, wheth er or not there was Rny mOD el' to loan, and also much valuable tim e was wasted. For lack of a better name, may t say that in this respect n centralization ot the voucher power is necessary .
Also, better cooperation trom the chaptcrs Is needed. It you have buUt or remod eled, won't you send your plans, specifications, e tc., 80 that they mny hell) some other chapter towurd n home?

HEPORT OF THE COIDUTl'EE ON FRATERNITY STUDY AND EXAMINATIOX
']'0 tAc Orand Co.nell Of Pi Beta PM and to Conve tion (l,tem-bled, the Oho-{rman 01 tile Commi tt ee on Fraternitv Stud" and Ezamiflatwn ,ubmU, the foUore'flu report for the period 01 19'>-'1-1925:
The work ot tbis comm ittee consists in supervising study for active members and pledges and preparing the questlon!'S tor exnmlnnUon. A rndical change was mnde in t he taU ot 1922. when, at the direction ot the Grnnd Council, the Chn lnnoD, Miss Woodlllon , was instructed to layout u course ot study wblcb sho uld in cludo 011 phases ot PI Beta Phi Ute, Dnd which should be covered In tbre-e se ri es ot nnnouneed questions. Accordingly serIes number one was mupped out and 8sslgned with ques tlons cove ring the year's work.
Upon the res lgnotion ot Mi ss Woodman , the n ew cha lrmon hoa endeavored to carry out the originAl plnn. The three series or announced questions huve been completed. Now It Is time to begin all over again with a simila r s e ries numbru- o ne. The question Is: s hall the present syste m be continued. Or the old one r e\'erted to or another Inaugurated?
The committ ee wishes to recommend to the Grand Co un cil Bnd Com'ention that the prese nt system ot announced questions be continued. This system seems to embody the Tenl purpose ot trnternity examination : tbat or thorough study and accurate knowledge or the nctlvlt1e@ ot Pi Beta Phi. Panhellenic Bud the bl sto ry ot fraternities in general; without encouraging cramming, or demRuding too much time from college study BDd activities.
In regard to Ple dge examination: the commltlee wi s hes to r eco mmend: a unltorm exumlnutlon for 1)ledges. to b e a ltered only when wonges In the organlzation nud so .forth ot the traternity mRke such cbanges necessn ry.
During the lust two years the passing u\' ernge hus been raised from 75% to 80% nnd the Bonol' Roll avorage trom 05% to 07 %. Muy the committee recommend here that the passing a.verage be raised
Tn!! ARROW 01/' PI BETA PHI
ngnin-from 800/0 to 8t5% It Is tobe opinion ot the committee that every girl should easily make &% when bavlng been allowed to study the exnct questions. 1t might be well to levy a fine ot five dollars ($5) upon all active chapter girls and perhaps pledges who fnll upon examination, said flne being made puyable to the Grand Treasurer and credited to the account ot eithe r the Contingent Fund or the Settlement School. This yenr forty-one active girls fatted to pass the annual examination. This would amount to two hundred and five dollars (.$205.00) If s u c b n flne w ere levied. R ea lly, it is unpard onable tor n girl to tall wben s he has the exact questions assigned and definite material s uggested where the answers to the announced questi ons may be found.
The commi ttee suggests also, that there be no hence· forth. It exemptions continue then some gi rl s will go out from college without having studied portions of the History. ConStitution, etcetera, of Pi Bela PhI. This retutes the purpose of the present system of Fraternity Study and Exuminotlon. As closely as 1 CUll fib"Urc arc about eighty girls eligible tor exemption next yenr. 'I'hcse girls have ne,' er taken an examination on the first portion ot the Constitution, History, etc. Do you not see how unwise it 19-- thls present syetem or exemption? Surely being on the Honor Roll with one's name announced III the Arrow and raising one's c hapter 8\"erage is an Incentive great enough tor any girl to work. I wish that the active girls cou ld on l y real1ze that through ulllluul examination and supervised study her fraternity is enden\'orlng to send forth well Intormed PI Beta Phls. rt Is the desire ot the committee to be os definite as possible In directing this study ond to consume the mlnumum of the girls' time.
The tollowlng co mparative ratings ore olways no ted with some heSitancy, ns, with ten people grading, an a.bsolute standa rd is next to impossibl e. But I assure you that these busy w omen, the Provin ce SUP0nisors, who give so unselfishly of their time, nrc most c onscien· tlons!
It is interesting to note the tollowing resume ot comparative a,'erages 0 11 Fraternity Examination, both Aeth'e and Pledge, for the last two yenrs' period, ot each syste m co ndu cted by the com m ittee: that of unannounced and announced questions.

REPORT OF NAT10NAL PAl-."BELLENIC DELEGATE
Since the last Convention a meeting ot the Pnnbellenic Congress has been beld in BoRton, at which meeting the footenntty was represented by Mr s. Nickerson, Grand Vice President, Mrs. Paul Ingram, n tormer Grand Secretary; ond your Pnnhellenlc delegate. This Congrosl! d epurted from the usual procedure by having a spea k er from the m en's Pan hellenic Conference, who spoke 011 the healtb program tor college lIl en nnd women, and urged coopemtlon On the p!lrt of the fra.t e rnlty men and women 111 n great effort to promote bette r bQQ'lth smong the college men nnd wom en of th e United Stotes. At a late r session also this topic was discussed by Mrs. Colllos , Dr. HopkIns, aDd your representative. Another outstan d ing feature was the 3ddress of Mrs Mlnud \VQod P{lrk on cl'Uzens1l1p , wilh plens that the fraternity women, following the lend ot Ca rri e Cha.pmnu Catt, s hould do their pal·t in promoting bette r c itizenship . Under d -iacussjon a lso at this meetIng was th e question of admission of one Jewish !lU d one CatholiC fraternity. After end less di sc u ssion It was tabled until the next meet· log of National Pnnhellenlc Congr e6s. At the opening session a telegram was sent to Grace Goodhue CooUdge, the first froternity woman to preside at tbe White House. At this meeting nuthorlzlltlOIl IW88 gh'en the executive council to publish a pamphlet collt!lining all tmpor· tant Legislation enllcted by lhe Congress up to the present !time. This booklet I s now available.
Obapters (have tunlished r eports Tegularly. IPrefe relltiol bidding and date of bidding whether curly or late seem to be the most debatable questions In mnny chapters.
difficulties ha\'(\ wllh f e w exceptions, been set tled l ocally or between the two fraternities tnvoh-ed rather thaD to appeal the case to the National Pan helleni c Board, which o f neocesslty works rather slowly.
On tho whole the Panbellenlc situn lion seems good, and the local Pnnbellenlcs are taking more and more responsibility in settling their local difllculttes themselves.
The Pno'hellentc House which Is to be erected In New York and whi ch i8 beln,g financed by the sirtecn uational traternltles, PI Beta Pbl and Alph:n Gamma Deltn not being represented, Is also a topic of great interest to nationa:l Panbelle nlc Co ngress A full r epent of the plans for this house was put before the last COIH'entioll nnd the moSt recent statplllent appears tn the Jun e ARROW.

After unfinished bu s in ess for th e year had been c,?mp leted, carefu l consideration wa s given to the annual and the conve nti on report s of all officers and committee chairmen . As a res ult of detailed study of chapter conditions fot the past year , certain po li c ies and plans for their improvement s and continued progress were adopted
• Following thor ough di sc uss io n of genera l problems of the Fratern it y, twenty-seven recommendations w e re fornlulated to be submitted t o Conventi o n for its ac ti o n. an d it wa s reso lv ed to recommend to the incomin g Grand Counc il that prov isio n be made for the safeguarding of a ll trust funds, the Grand Council sugges ting that a Board of Trustee Funds be created, the personnel to includ e th e former Grand Trea surer, the G ra nd President an d the Grand Secretary.
A m o ti on ca rr ied to the e ffect that all Pi Beta Phi chapters be requested to bring before their local Panhellenics t he f ollow ing recommendation: That no chapter of the loca l Pan hell en ic Association ask f or or accept spec ial dispensation to initiate any person who has not been a matriculated student at a recogn ized univer sity and wh o ha s not met scholastic standards equal to th e local req uire ments f o r initiation.
Th e f oll o wing two recommendations were form ulated fo r presentation to th e Settlement School Committee: I. That in or der to place th e Sett lement School o n a firm financial basis and to do away with the necess ity of the Treasurer's carrying the School over the fall months, no a llo wance be made in the budget for building, and the r epairs and upkeep be kept to the minimum co nsi s tent with the efficient mana gement o f the School ; 2 That the Settlement Sch oo l Committ ee adopt a high standard for all industrial products for sale by the School, and that n on e be bought or sold that are inferior and do not conform to this standard.
THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI
It was decided that in the future the Mu s ic Vase, d o nated by the New York Alumn", Club for th e bes t co nvention so ng, sho uld be awarded acco rding to the fo ll o wing p lan: I. The s tanding C ommitt ee on Mu s ic shall se lect three songs fr o nl a mo ng tho se submitted in the contest; 2. From th ese three, Conventio n shall make the final ch o ice .
After re viewing the wo rk of th e Committee o n Exte n s ion, Grand Co unc il voted to in struct th e Comm ittee to di scourage definitely the local g r o up , A lpha Phi Sigma o f the Un i vers ity of Penn sylvani a, which ha s been e nd eavo rin g t o pre sent it s petition t o Pi Beta Phi f or the la s t eight years.
The Grand Treas ur er w as authorized to se lect a new pattern f o r th e initi at ion robe, ( th e former l ine h av in g bee n di scontinued ), and to purchase a n adeq uat e supply .
The Gra nd Council unanim o us ly voted to award lhe 1925 Fellow shi p t o Beatrice Adams o f Loui s iana A lpha, who ' will a tte nd J ohn s Hopkins U niv e r s it y during 1925- 1926 for spec ializati o n in social eco nomi cs.
After st ud y in g with care the requirement s f o r the award of th e Balfour Cup . the Grand Co un cil voted t o r emove from the li s t o f points u pon whi ch chapt er s a r e "graded," th at one entitl ed "Initiation versu s Graduation." Thi s h ea ding wa s e liminated beca use it wa s beli eved unf a ir t o ho ld a pr ese nt c hapte! te spons ibl e fo r the actions of fo.ur years pa st, and becau se four year attendance atone co ll ege is a condition governed by many factor s , seve ra l of whi ch are beyond th e power o f an active c hapter t o contr o l.
A program o n th e d e velopment o f th e individual was di scusse d. The Provin ce Pres idents, wi th A lpha Province Pre sid ent as c ha irman , we re appointed as a committ ee t o inv es tigate th e advisability of instituting such a program and to make recommendati o n s f o r further emphases whi ch th ey might believe beneficial to the internal development of c hapter s.

POST-CONVENTION SESSION
Following Convention the retirin g and newly elected members of Grand Council met jointly from June 27 through June 29.
During the first two sess ion s, which included general conferences with the old and new Province Presidents, as complete an understanding a s possible was reached concerning both the terms used on the grading blanks submitted to the Committee o n Survey and Standanlization and the sta ndard of grading to be employed. rrhe Manual for Province Presidents, as revised by OJive Hawkins Smith, was read and di sc u ssed. The Grand COllncil adopted the reco mmendation of th e retiring Grand Council that provision be made for the safegua rding of all trust funds by creating a Board of Trustee Fund s, its personnel to include the former Grand Trea sure r, the Grand President and the Grand Secretary.
The Grand Treasurer was appointed to supervise th e formulation of a budget system to be used by all chapters, and wa s asked to investigate thoroughly the Baker-Vawter and Busq sys tem s of chapter accounting and financing.
In accordance with the action of Convention, th e Grand Counc il , with the Cataloguer, made definite plans for the establishment of the centra l record and supply office to be cond uct ed during the interim of Conventions.
After the Grand Council had di spos ed of unfinished business and had made tentative plans for chapter visiting and· for the installations of the three newly chartered groups, its post-convention meeting was adjourned.
