treasurer. The supervisor upon the request of Grand Council agreed to have conferences with chapter delegates from chapters having long lists of delinquent members.
There was a vote 0 f approval on "Learning To Study" by G. C. Brandenburg, professor of educational psychology, Purdue University, and instruction to try to secure sufficient copies to distribute to each Pi Beta Phi pledge in the fall of 1931. Chapters shall see that these copies are collected and put in the Archives for r epeated usc. There was also approved a Manuel for Special Advisers of Newly-Installed Chapters, compiled by the Grand Secretary.
Since Grand Council handles dispensations for inactivity. it was decided that it should hayc definite regulations to cover such cases. The following were adopted: a girl who has for four years including the year of her pledgeship, rendered fine service to, and met all obligations of her chapter shall have the option of inactivity; marriage in later years of undergraduate study per se is no justification for inactivity; financial inability for activity must be attested to by a four-fifths vote of the alumnce advisory committee concerned.
A very careful study of the Report of the Survey and Standardization was made and with the recommendations of the province presidents, a decision was reached that the Balfour Cup should again be awarded to Michigan S , the Stoolman Vase to Washington B, and honorable mention to Ohio B.
Further action with regard to the Central Office was that the Central Office be authorized to supply to chapters and officers, binders for dismissal, records to be sent with the fall suppl ie s and to be billed to chapters.
Upon the recommendation of the Grand Vice-President it was agreed that the Assistant to the Grand VicePresident should send a letter early in the fall to interest in alumna'! club membership seniors who were graduated the spring before, and those leaving school before graduation.
Stat. VIII, Sec. 3, p. 35 was amended by inserting:
c. Have complete official file •.
It was suggested that th e province presidents work out the content of the files.
During the Council meeting, conferences were held with the Director of the Central Office, the National Supervisor of Chapter Accounting, and the Director of the Settlement School. The Assistants, to the Grand President and to the Grand Vice-President, were in the meetings from the morning of June 21, with the Grand Council. The provin ce officers arrived the evening of June 21, and there were meetings that evening and the next morning.
The Grand Counci l formulated fiftecn recommendations for action by th e Thirtieth Biennial Convention. With the final plans made for the conducting of Convention, the Grand Council meeting adjourned.

N I TA HILL STARK GrOJld Secretary
Annnal Report of National Officers of Pi Beta Phi for Year 1930-1931
Ileport of th e Grand Presid e nt
A T THE beginning 0 f its sixty-fifth year, Pi Beta Phi is assembled as its Thirtieth Biennial Convention. The )'ears have meant not alone a change from that first chapter of twelve girls to an international fraternity of seventy-five active chapters and more than twenty-two thousand members: they have meant a growth in internal organization and strength consistent with that in size, the establishment of a place in the fraternity world which marks Pi Beta Phi as a fraternity without a superior, and a contin ued devotion to the standards established by the fraternity at its beginning. It is with humility and pride that the officers and committees of the fraternity present the record of the past two years as worthy of a place in the annals of Pi Beta Phi.
The interim of conventions. ju st ended, brought to the fraternity a la sting so rrow in the death of Clara Brownlee Hutchin so n , a Founder whose beauti ful life brought inspiration and whose loving kindne ss brought happiness to all who were privileged to know her. Hers was a perfect living of the ideals of the fraternity which she helped to establish! To few organizations comes the joy of active fellowship with their Founders through sixty-four years. Pi Beta Phi has a heart filled with gratitude and deep affection, today, as its thoughts go out to Inez Smith Soule, Fannie Whitenack Libbey, Libbi e Brook Gaddis, Margaret Campbell, and Jennie Horne Turnbull , Found-
ers, well-beloved and un failing in the inspiration of their character. personality, and devoted interest in the fraternny To them and to those other Founders whom we hold in cherished memory, Pi Beta Phi renews its pledge of loyal service to the fraternity which they made possible!
The past two years have brought the necessity for a number of changes in perSonnel. It is a s triking evidence of the character of the fraternity's member sh Ip that newly-appointed officers are able to take over the work of their predecessors and to carry it on with marked success and with no break in the continuity of development. Seven of the province presidents and two of the province vicepresiaents elected by the Twentyninth Convcntion-Bcatrice Ecks, Loi s Thompson, Anne E. Marshall, Bernadine Chesley Sawers, Emma May Baldwin, Gertrude Gardner Turner, Captola Breyley Forker, Mabel Eldridge Barnsley, and Lillian Leggett Bass-were forced by ill health or pressure of other duties to submit their resignations, which were accepted with r egre t and with appreciation for service loyally given. Their successors-Mary Smith Campbell. Harriet Smith, M ildred Tingley Beise l, Charlotte Winget Chope, Edna Westfall Foster, Nita Hill Stark, Adele Taylor Alford, Jane White Comer, and Florence Hunt Webster -were appointed by the Grand President and the Grand Vice-President, respectively. and have served the fraternity with di stinction . With the
serious illness of Blanche Reisinger, there came the necessity for a change in the director of the Magazine Agency which she had established in the intere s ts of the Settlement School and to which she had given ye a rs of the mo st devoted service . The responsibi lity of the Agency is a heavy one and the fraternity expre s ses its s incere gratitude to Blanche Reisinger, Mary Gibson Durden, Charlotte Kearney Shellabarger, and Dorothy Jack es Miller who, in turn, have conducted the Agency so successfully and so faithfully. Only one change in chairmanships 0 £ national committees has been neces sary between conventions: A lice Simmons Cox has seen her splendid work as chairman of the Committee on Scholarship carried forward mo s t ably by the new chairman. Alice Hulce Dow.
As an officer of the fraternity. the Grand President has found in the unfailing cooperation and encouragement of other national and province officers and committee members and in th e happiness and inspiration of association with them and with the chapters, alumna! clubs, and members of the fraternity, a source of strength without which she could have accomplished nothing. Her appreciation for this support is too deep to be expressed but she has sincere ly endeavored to make it evident in her own cooperation and in a more wort hy se rving of Pi Beta Phi.
The Grand President has served, du ring the past two years, as the fraternity's Delegate to National Panhellenic Congress and as such has attended the Denver Congre s s and has served one year as chairman of the Committee on Education and Information and another as member of the Committee on Publicity.
There h ave been six changes in the chapter roll of the fraternity during the interim of conventions. In the fall of 1929, the three groups chartered
The September ARROW
by Convention were in stalled as Utah A, Florida r, and Manitoba A, adding to the fraternity three chapters who se records for the past two years have been gratifying evidence of the wisdom of these charter grants. In June, 1930, Virginia B's name was added to the li st of inactive chapters. when faculty action banning fraternities from the campus of Hollins College made it necessary for it to give up the charter which it had held with such distinction. In September, 1930, Illinois B, left without a college home by the merger of Lombard College with Knox College, joined with lilinois l:J. to form Illinois B-.6. 0 f Knox College . The Grand Council wishes to express its appreciation for the true fraternity spirit with which Illinois l:J. welcomed Illinois B into their joint chapter and with which members of both former chapters worked together to make this year one marked by the most grati fying unity, happine ss , and s ucce ss In February, 1931, the charter of Pennsylvania a was withdrawn by the fraternity upon the required unanimous consent of the Grand Council and the province president concerned. It has r.ever been the policy of the fraternity to discuss in its publications details of the problems of its chapters. It has n:Jt failed. however, to give these problems careful th ought and the chapters having them special help and superv ision In line with this established policy, no mention of the problems of Pennsylvania 6. was made until the situation became so serious that the retenti Dn of its charter was definitely involved. In April. 1930, the chapter was told that its right to its charter was in question and. following the action of the Grand Council in allowing an additional semeste r in which the chapter might try to meet requirements, announcement of action was made in the Minutes of Grand Council Meeting, publi<;hed in the Septem-
ber. 1930. Anow. Special supervision and help were given to the chapter during the period following its notification that the situation was critical. but at the end of the additional semester it was the unanimous decision of the Grand Council and the province president concerned that conditions made the withdrawing of the cha rter necessary. The officers upon whom the fraternity places the responsibility for making s uch decisions felt a very Teal regret for the necessity for such action but were and are convinced that in no other way could the be st interests of the fraternity be served.
The mo st stri king change in internal organization within the past two years came as the result of the action of the last Convention in establishing the office 0 f Assistant to the Grand President. Margaretta Fenn Putman has brought to this position experience in univer si ty and fraternity work, exceptional ability, and a sp irit of service which have made her invaluable. She has a ss umed as her special responsibility the maintenance of close contacts with pledge supervisors and alumna: advisory committees, has se rved as alternate delegate to National Panhellenic Congress, has represented the fraternity at the Panhellenic Conclave at Ohio Wesleyan University and at the Conference of Urban Panhellenics at Evanston, and has assisted the Grand President in many other ways. The conviction of the fraternity that for the greatest strength there must be the greatest possi ble contact and cooperation between departments and officers is strengthened each year as it finds this goal more nearly attained. The regular monthly letters between the Grand President and the province presidents and between the Grand Vice-President and the province vice-presidents are now sent to all members of the Grand Council, alI province officers, and the
Director of the Central Office. Copies of all publications of the Central Office go to all officers whose work is conc erned with their u se. The monthly l ette r s from the Grand Secretary to the chai rmen of the national committees make available for these members of the official family the in fo rmation contained in letters and publications which are not sent direct to them. The report s of officers and committe e chairmen will s how th a t the past t wo years have been ones of progress and splendid achievement for Pi Beta Phi. It is a distinct privilege for the Grand President to be able to speak of her own and the fraternity's gratitude to national and province officers and to committees and their chairmen for the high quality of work done and for the devotion to Pi Beta Phi which ha s been unfailing!
Because it is only as the fraternity knows of conditions within its chapters through per sona l contacts between officers, chapters, advisory committees, and deans of women that it can safeguard internal strength, the v is its to chapters are of inestimable importance. In the last interim of Conventions, all chapters but one have received the required two visits from province pre s idents and all but three -two of whose schedules prevented the making of planned for visits and one whose visit was cancelled because of a death in the family of the visiting officer-have received vi s its from the Grand President or her representative. The Grand President wishes to express her deep appreciation to Gai l DeWolf, Katherine Teller, Mabel Scott Brown, Ruth Smith, and Margaretta Putman for their assistance with chapter visiting and for the help and inspiration which they gave to chapters. She has made officia l visits to twelve chapters, has made emergency visits to five chapters, has inspected Gamma Sigma of the University of South Carolina, has been the
purely social guest of eight chapters, and has shared the hospitality of many alumna: clubs. The joy of ing and knowing Pi Beta Phis and of receiving their gracious courtesies is deep and unforgettable.
With the growth of the fraternity, the work of the alumnre department becomes increasingly heavy and important. It is only as one studies the statistics of the fraternity that she can realize the problems of assimilation and organization which constantly face the officers of the alumnce department. vVithin the past ten years, the total membership of the fraternity has doubled. The system of alumnre organization now being used by Pi Beta Phi is the re su lt of many years of careful consideration and planning. The succes s of the fraternity in holding the active interest of its alumna! and in directing that interest into such sp lendid service for the Settlement School, the Loan Fund, the active chapters, and the fraternity as a whole excites the admiration and respect of other fraternitie s and is proof of the sou ndness of its methods . The reports of the officers of the alumna: department are a source of pride to every member of Pi Beta Phi
The Grand Secretary has given an invaluable service to the fraternity in her direction of the work of standing committees and in supervision and assistance given to new chapters and to tho se requiring special national help. Association with Gail DeWolf ha s endeared her beyond mea s ure and has given a new vision of what fraternity loyalty and service and living of ideal s can mean.
No fraternity can live up to its fullest possibilities of service and development without a sound financial background . The Grand President urges all members of the fraternity to study carefully the report of the Grand Tre asurer for the understanding which it will give not only of the
fraternity's financial soundness but also of its needs and of the debt of gratitude which it owes to Lois Franklin Stoolman to whose exceptional ability it owes mu c h of its present <"jnancial well being. The Grand Treasurer not only has charge of the national trea sury but she also acts as chairman of the Board of Trustee Funds which controls the investing of all endowment funds . Here again an understanding 0 [ the recent growth of the fratern ity is n ecessary for a full realization of what the work of the Grand Council member in charge of that specia l department involves. Ten years ago Pi Beta Phi's endowment funds totalled $72,549.06-$69,620 .1 9 being in the ARROW Endowment and $2,928.87 in the Fellowship Endowment . Today its endowment funds, exclusive of the Settlement School Endowment, total $235,440.3S$179,579.00 being in the ARROW Endowment, $10,000 in the Fellowship Endowment, $32,661.38 in the Pi Beta Phi Endowment, and $13,200 in the Contingent or Friendship Endowment. Interest from endowments is used only for the purpose assigned to it in t h e es t a bli s hment of each particular fund. This explains why, even with so large a t ota l of endowment funds, the fraternity vitally needs for its future security the completion of its proposed $50,000 Contingent Endowment. Income from annual dues assigned to the meeting of current expenses is practically static and it is only becau se of the royalty received from the sale of fraternity insignia and jewelry that the fraternity is able to carryon its work of intern:ll organization without increasing its annual and active dues to a prohibitive point. The cost of maintail11ng the Central Office alone has grown from $1,000 in 1925-26 to approximately $6,000 in 1930-31. Pi Beta Phi mu st not lose its place as a leader among fraternities. It must make the future
of the fraternity assured by creating an endowment to make certain its ability to carryon its work of organization, direction, and supervision in the future. The goal set by Pi Beta Phi is a very modest one but its completion should mean that there would be no further need for raising endowment for contingent purpo ses. Le ss than two dollars from each member of the fraternity would complete the $50,000 endowment. From this Convention let us take back to OUT chapters and alumna! clubs an enthusiasm for assuring Pi Beta Phi's future leadership which wiIJ mean that the Friendship Endowment will be not just subscribed but over-subscribed by 1933, the year set for the comp letion of the campaign!
The usual meetings of the Grand Council have been held during the interim of conventions. One which included a joint conference with the province officers, the Assistant to the Grand Vice-President, and the Director of the Central Office was held in Pasadena immediatel y following the last Convention; a similar one which included also the Assistant to the Grand President was held in Asbury Park immediately preceding the present convention, and a third was held at Gatlinburg in July, 1930. Full reports of these meetings have appeared or will appear in the Information Numbers of THE ARROW. The meeting at Gatlinburg was held at the time of the annual meeting of the Settlement School Committee and made possible many enjoyable contacts. The Grand President attended two meetings of the Committee as the official representative of the Grand Council.
The work of the Central Office has become so vital to the well-being of the fra.ternity that it is hard to realize that it has been in operation only si n ce 1925. All statistical and membership records of the fraternity, including the ARROW mailing list, are
no\\ kept by this office. All supplies and manuals are issued by it and with a few exceptions all reports go directly to it. The Central Office was established at the recommendation of Mabel Scott Brown, then Cataloguer, and she has ser\'ed continuously as its Director. Its service, exce ptional in the record of fraternity centra l offices, is a direct expression of her unusual ability, her far-sighted understanding of conditions, and her unfailing, devoted love for Pi Beta Phi. The fraternity is proud beyond measure of what she represents and of the accomplic;hmentc; of the Central Office, the only such office within the knowledge of the Grand President which is directed by an officer who serves for love of the fraternity alone and not for a li\'ing wage In 1930 Mrs. Brown directed the publication of a Directory of the fraternity with a chapter section and a complete cross-reference alphabetical section. The material of the Directory is as accurate as it was humanly possible to make it and contains corrections up to the actual date when the presses were loc ked. Such a record of fraternity membership is of great assistance to all officers of the fraternity and of interest and value to every Pi Beta Phi. It is futile to attempt to express the affection and appreciat ion of the fraternity for Mabel Scott Brown!
The usual mimeographed and printed letters and in st ructions have been sen t to chapters, alumnce clubs, officers, and committees. The policy of the fraternity in making available in permanent form as many as possible of its s tatement s of policy, methods. and standards has been carefully adhered to , and manuals already published have been added to or corrected as new materia l is availab l e. New pubHcations within the past two years include the Directory and a new edition of the Song Book which was edited by Margaret KelJenbach, chair-
man of the Co mmittee on Fraternity Music, and which is on sale at this Convention. The annual letters to the parents of pledges an d to deans o f women h ave been issued as usual.
A Manual of Socia l Usage adapted for use by chapters is being prepared by Beatrice Teague, Colorado B, and wilt be available for distribution at the beginning of the next college year. The fraternity is indebted to Dean Una B. Herri ck of Montana State College for permission to use her compilation of social u sages, in the preparation of its publication.
The Grand President has read with keen interest the splendid chapter magazines issued by Beta and Gamma Province chapters and considers them an invaluable aid towards the maintenance of strong alumnce contact s. She recommend s to other provinces the adoption of thi s practice which has proved itse1 f so valuable.
To Michiga n B has gone the signal honor of having held the Balf o ur Cup, with its s ignificance of high attainment in its chapter, college, and fraternity rela tion sh ip s, during the entire interim 0 f convention s, since it received the award at the Pasadena Convention and again during the s umm e r of 1930. The award for 1931 will be made at this Convention. The Stoolman Vase was awarded in 1930 to Virginia r, who h ad received honorable mention in 1929 when the Stoolman Vase was awarded to California r. In 1930, honorable mention was given to California B, a close competitor fo r the Stoolman Vase The Pi Beta Phi Fellowship was held during 1929-30 by Pauline Turnbull, New York A, who studied at the University of Pennsylvania, and that for 1930-31 by Frances McNulty, Virginia B, who ha s received her master's degree for work in English at Columbia University. The fellowship for 1931-32 has been awarded to June
The Sept e mber ARROW
Pickens, Alabama A, who will continue her work in the College of Law, the University of Alabama. The New York Panhcllenic Fellowship for 1931-32 has been won by Katherine Noble, Illinois fl., who will study at Columbia University . Each year finds the fraternity nearer its goal of having all chapters located on campuses where fraternity hou ses are allowed and are feasible , living in adequate houses owned by them. During the c urrent year, seven c h apte r s only have lived in rented houses and 0 f the se Indiana r h as plans completed and funds available to build as soon as conditions see m right. South Dakota A has incorporated and expects to build in 1932. Nevada A is building and Vermont B expects to complete its own home, this summer. Colorado B has recently sold its bungalow, which it used for chapter meetings only, and hopes, after an experiment with a rented house, to build for itsel f. During the interi m of conventions , fjye chapters-Missouri A, Wyoming A, Arkansas A, Arizona A and California .1-have completed very beautiful chapter homes. Five chapters own bungalows for meeting purposes only and forty chapters live in hou ses owned by their house associations, making a total of forty-five hou ses owned by fraternity chapters with a total value of approximately $1,700,000. Almost without exception, alumnre have been alert to recognize the needs of their chapters, unwilling to see them handicapped by inadequate and unsafe living cond itions, and splendid in their financial support of building projects. The fraternity has consistently advised against unwise building programs, against competitive building, and against houses so expe n s ive as to endanger the personnel of the chapter by neces s itating an effort to sec ure a large number of pledges each year with quantity rather
than Quality as the standard. The Committee on Chaperons has maintained more adequate contacts with chapter house chaperons than ha,'c ever before been possible and has, it is hoped, given to these women, whose service is so outstanding, some realization of the appreciation which the fraternity has for their contribution to the st r ength of Pi Beta Phi.
A study of the detailed reports from vi s itin g officers and from deans of women indicates that the internal condition of chapters is reason for gratification. The fraternity is strong only as it s chapters attract desirable girls on pledge day, develop them in such a way that the chapters hold the esteem, respect, and approval of their faculty and student bodies, and graduate them as women with abilities, capabilities, and stand ards which qualify them to hold constructively contributing places in their own communitie s . M eas uring by this standard, the Grand President repeats h er conviction that Pi Beta Phi is a fraternity without a superior.
The work of the fraternity's great altruistic project, the Settlement School which is it s memorial to its Founders, has show n a continuous advance. Because the erection and the equipping of th e vocational high school building entailed an expense for which the school is laboring under a heavy indebtednes s, no new departments have been added or can be added for many years, but the departments already in operation have gained in effecti veness and in service to the community. The industries make it po ss ible for at least a hundred families to be sel f-supporting and consequently self-respecting in a community where gainful occupations are few. The superior workmanship. design, and material in the weaving done under the supervision of the school have brought r ecognition of a
high type to the fraternity. The detailed reports of the Chairman, the Treasurer, and the Director of the school should be carefully studied by each 0 f the thousands of Pi Beta Phis whose loyalty to the fraternity has betn prond beyond question by their generous support of the school during the past twa years when the general financial depression has meant that s uch support repre sented very real sacrifice. The continued and increasing recognition and help given by the State of Tennessee prove that the Settlement School merits the support which it receives so unstintedly. Few phases of fraternity work seem to have a greater hold upon the devotion of fraternity members than that connected with service at the school or on its committee. Pi Beta Phi acknowledges with pride its obligation to the fraternity members who have given so generously in this service during the interim of conventions! The Committee loses, this year, its chairman, Dr. Edith Gordon, Ontario A, who has se rved the school at great personal sacr ifice and with deep interest in its welfare, and Blanche Charlton Curtis, Mas sac huse tts A, one of the fraternity'S most loved members, who as secretary of the Committee and editor of "News From Little Pigeon" has continued her long record of exceptional se rvice. The Grand Council has the pleas· u re of annouucing the appointment of Eva Armstrong Wyer , Kansas B, as chairman, and Mary Cooper Frost, Colorado A, as member 0 f the Committee, for the coming four years . It is confident of their ability and desire to carryon acceptably and with high efficiency the work so dear to the hearts of Pi Beta Phis. Association by the Grand President, as a member of Grand Council. with Katherine Burr Teller, Gail DeWolf, Lois Franklin Stoolman, and Joseph-
ine Coates Marshall has meant both happiness and inspiration. For these priceless things, for the joy of fraternity fellowship, and for the privilege of serv ing Pi Beta Phi as one of The Septembe r
its officers, the Grand President expresses her deep and abiding appreciation.
AMY BURNHAM ONKEN Grand Presidet,t
Annnal Report of the Grand Vice-President
S INCE its inception, the Alumna! Department of Pi Beta Phi has shown consi stently continuous growth. Its early plantings, made with far vision by its first organizers, have been nurtured and brought to splendid fruition in ever-widening interest and ever-increasing membership by the loving devotion of its succeeding officers from Emma Harper Turner to Emilie Margaret White. In the interim of conventions just passed the AluITIn<c Club roll has reached one hundred fifty-two in number; eight new clubs have been chartered in that time and are distributed as follows: In Alpha Province, South New Jersey; in Beta Province, Beaver Valley; in Epsilon Province, Winnipeg, Glenhurston , Chicago North and Chicago South i in Eta Province, South Central Kansas; in Theta Province, Waco. The Chicago North and the Chicago South Clubs represent a division of the Chicago Club and specia l mention must be made of the Glenhurston Club which though chartered late in June , is sending a delegate to Convention, and of the South Jersey Club organized late in the fiscal year and sending a sub stantial contribution to the Settlement School and taking its place as a hostess club for Convention.
It is cau se for continued satisfaction that, in the fine spirit of enthusia stic cooperation with province and national officers, 107 clubs have this year submitted annual presidents' reports, 112 clubs have reported new officers, and 53 clubs , representing every province, have s ent credential s for delegates to Convention, a smaller
number than for the last Convention but a splendid showing for these times.
In the larger cities the group plan has steadily gained favor. In addition to those which have been u sing the system for some time, Seattle, during the past two years, has found it a successfu l method of meeting the problems 0 f distances and a widely scattered membership, and this year the New York City Club was reorganized on the group plan, the groups in each of these cities joining for the four constitutionally required meetings. The Chicago membership is now organized in five distinct clubs. On the other hand, in a number of localities, clubs have been formed to include the alumnre of a number of t owns and communities, as examples, the South Central Kansas Club which draws its membership from four towns; the South Jersey Club whose members from fourteen communities are scattered over a radius of more than seventy miles , and one of the late st to organ iz e, the Glenhurston Club whose name is a euphonious combination of those of the three cities in Illinois represented by its members. This is a development of our present-day ease of travel and will be a large factor in the future organization of pew clubs .
Every year the enrollment of members in e.xisting clubs shows a substantial increase which is genera l in all the provinces and out standing in the doubled membership of several clubs during the past year. Such extension of interest and support is directly due to the untiring efforts of
well-chosen membership committees, backed by their club officer s and directed by the province vice-presidents and is fundamentally a tribute to the rightness of the principles of Pi Beta Phi and to the fidelity inspired by them.
Alumnz development depends In large measure upon the province vicepresident. The exacting routine work of keeping in touch with the clubs on ont hand, and with the national officers on the other, requires a high order of unselfish service. This they have given freely and the deep gratitude of the fraternity goes out to them. Since the Jast Convention two changes have been made necessary in the province official family-the resignations of Mabel Eldridge Barnsley and Lillian Leggett Bass were regretfully accepted, and Jane White Comer and Florence Hunt Webster, appointed to fill the offices, have taken up their work with enthusiasm and ability.
Of estimable value to the internal organization and the expansion of alumn::e work are the visits of the province vice-presidents to the clubs of their provinces in the interim of conventions. From both province and club office r s come expressions of the mutual benefits of these personal contacts--on the part of the clubs. for the inspiration of province and nationa l viewpoints, the realization of their own importance in the national organization and of their obligations toward it; on the part of the vicepresidents for the acquaintance of the personnel of their provinces and a truer u nderstanding of each club's needs and accomp l ishments.
The conferen ce of alurtlflce office r s with the Sett leme n t Sc h oo l Committee a t Gatl inburg in the summer of 1929 has been a never-failing source of inspiration to them in their club work. Through the intimate knowledge of the fraternity's splendid ac-
complishmcnt in service to the mountain people of Sevier County, and the zest that comes only from actually seeing the Arrowcraft products in the making, the Settlement School has been made to live more vitally and more vividly for all alumnre clubs and active chapters vi s ited by those officers . The open club meeting for the sale a f the weaving and all Arrowcraft articles is urged, as it has been proved a most successful means of fu rthering general interest in the Settlement School, as well as adding greatly to the volume of sales. The continued generous support of the school in the face of the general economic depre ssion is in itsel f evidence of the vital interest and tireless effort of alumn::e all over the country in the philanthropic undcrtflking of the fraternity.
The letters of the Grand President to the province presidents, sent to alumnce officers also, have kept them informed of national trends and have helped to correlate alumna! work with that of the other departments.
The annual reports of club presidents sent in answer to the general questionnaire, are invaluable in the study of club conditions and problems and they offer splendid constructive criticism and many helpful suggestions for the advancement of the alumn::e department . Most general among club problems are: the always pertinent one of enrolling the full resident membership; the gaining and keeping of the interest of the younger alumnce, though one club con fesses that its problem is to hold the interest of older members; allied to this, and requested by many clubs, interesting club programs; and as always, sources of i ncome. Since these prob lems are topics for discussio n at alumn::e round table sessions of this Convention, it is hoped that workab le plans may be formulated to help in their solution.
No phase of fraternity work as the
official visits to chapters brings so keen a sense of the important par t being played by fraternities as a stabilizing force in the complex life of our university campuses. The ready confidence given by both college auth orities and chapter members makes for a quick and intimate understanding of the fine co urage of the youth of today in meeting the demands and complexities of student life. The Grand Vice-President is deeply appreciati ve of the privilege of visiting in the past year the chapters Wi sconsin A, Wi sconsi n B, Illinois A, Illinois Illinois H , Illinois Z, Nebraska B , Wyoming A, Colorado A and Colorado B. She has been charmed with the cordiality, the courtesy, and the re sponsive ne ss of these chapters
The opportunity of meeting their splendid alumn.e during the chapter visits was keenly enjoyed and confirmed her re alizat ion of the immeasurable value to the chapters in strong alumna! background and support.
It was also a very great pleasure to have been the guest of the New York Club for its celebration of Founders' Day, of the Syracuse and the South Jersey Club s during the year, of the Monmouth, Lincoln, Lar am ie, Denver, and Boulder Clubs on the occasions of visit s to their chapters, and 0 f the splendid alumnre group in Lansing, Michigan, and the Ero Alphians of Michigan State College. Sincere appreciation is warmly expressed for the delightful hospit a lity of them all.
The entente cordial existing between alumna! clubs and active chapters is cause for gratification. Province presidents and vice-presidents, alike, report the increasing understanding and affiliation 0 f the two groups everY'vhere.
Too much cannot be said for the wisdom of th e fraternity in establish-
The September ARROW
jng the Senior Farewell Ceremony and for its value as a means of enrolling all out-going se niors in the membership of the n a tional alumna: department. The operation of the system is now well understood as evidenced by a perfect response from the chapters in several provinces and a very nearly complete respon se from all 0 f them Alumnre clubs are making conscientious effort to meet and to interest thi s new vitalizing force and to make it at once an integral part 0 f their organizations. The real test of the success of su ch effort comes during the years immediately following when varied interests claim the attention of college graduates. More and more th e conviction grows that education in a lumnz polity during the active years is necessary to the successful maintenance of fraternity interest after graduation.
The sixty-fourth anniversary of the founding of Pi Beta Phi was observed more widely this year than ever before, though the observance was saddened by the loss of onc of our honored I.e. ba n d in the death of Clara Brownlee Hutchinson , who has had the reverence and love of the whole fraternity for her loveliness of spirit. Joint gatherings of alumna: clubs with active ( hapters, state-wide celebratio ns al d meeting s o f unorganized alumnre were united in paying high honor and loving tribute to our Founders.
No department of the fraternity could function effectively, if at all, without the able assistance of the Central Office. This department has had the never failing cooperation of Mabel Scott Brown and her office in handling its steadily increasing volume of correspondenc e, mimeographed reports, and working materials. For the new Directory of Pi Beta Phi-a monument to patience and industry! -requisite to the fraternity work of
every member, this office expresses t he alumnz department's grateful obligation.
To Ruth Barrett Smith, for the application of her exceptional ability in the execution of that part of alumnz work particularly the responsibility of her office and 0 f her fine sense 0 f values to the advice sought of her, with an ever-deepening sense of grati-
tude for the cherished associations with the offi cers and members of Pi Beta Phi, for the joy of se rving her fraternity as a member o f its Council, the Grand Vice-President acknowledges her heartfelt app reciation. It is with the deepest regret that sh e retires from office.
KATHER.INE BURR TELLER
Report of th e Grand S ec r e tary
I N THE completion of her second term of office, the Grand Secretary has experie nced the sat is faction of a greate r familiarity wi th all aspects of her position, a greater opportunity for constructive suggestions, a s till further enlargemen t of friendship s , and a deeper realization of the pri vilege that was hers .
Again the routine duties such as ca rryin g on a general corresponde nce , acti ng as recording secreta ry at the Council meetings compiling the amendments to the Con stitution, a nd issuing instructions for the annual and Conventi on report s h a ve been perform e d
It ha s been the practice for severa l years for the Grand Secretary to select from the annual chapter r epo rts of the interim of conventions, so me of the more outstanding and interesting of the statistical facts. As to the size of active chapter s, the average has been for the past two years thirt yone member s, a decrease of one over the average size of the chapters during the preceding two-year period. May this s li ght dec rease be attributable, as a multitude of trends, to the much-blamed depre ss ion. The size ranges a ll the way from a chapter of sixty-two members to one of thirteen memb e r s. With regard to bidding, the average of bids won for th e past two-year period was 84 per cent, a decrease from the average of the
interim of two years ago which was 87 pe r cent. This tendency gives no cause for alarm since Pi Beta Phi f eels th a t the preferential system of bidding, now so widely used, makes more difficult the attainmen t of a high average in this regard; mo reover she cheri shes the as sumption th at h e r chap t e r s are gaining members because of their worth and th eir honorable practices in rushing.
The Grand Secretary has acted as spec ial adviser to the three chapters in stall e d after th e Twenty-ninth Biennial Convention . In thi s capacity she has carried on a sys tematic carre· sponde n ce with Florida r, Manitoba A, and Utah A c hapters , as welJ as with their loca l specia l advisers. The re spo n se of these c l:apters ha s proven again the wisdom of Pi Beta Phi's ex· tension policy.
In accordance with the constit utional duty to ac t as Grand Council adviser to th ose chapters requiring specia l supervision, the Grand Secre· tary carri ed on with P e nnsylvania ll. f o r the first semester, a correspondence which was a term of the probation for the chapter, defined by the G ra nd Council in its meeting of the summer of 1930
The work with the standing com · mittees has been greatly simplified be· cau s e of the committee manual s com · piled during the previous inte r im. With thi s mechanical phase of their
work in hand, the chairmen have gone ahead with more developmenta l programs suc h as the compilation of maps indicating extension of that committee, the model constitution being worked Qut by the Committee on Mother s' Clubs, the assembly of the device s for bettering sc holar ship by the committee, the contest conducted by the Health Committee, and the edition of the Sotl9 Bo o k by the Fraternity Mu sic Committee-to m ent ion only a few in stanc es.
It is the con se n sus of opinion among the chairmen that chapters are much more cooper ative in all r:um· mitt ee programs. It seems fair to presume that a share of this progress has been brought about by the exemplary work of the committee chairm e n and members themsel Yes. Enough cannot be sa id for the loyalty and interest of the member s of this department of the fraternity.
In her actual con tact s with chapter s, the Grand Secretary starte d he r second term of office with the installation of Utah A, an expe ri ence l ong to be remembered with the initiati ng of sixty member s into the She ha s acted as official visitor during thi s period to Texas A, Texas B, Oklahoma A, Oklahoma B, Arizona A, California r, Washington A, Washington B , Oregon A, Oregon B, Montana A, and Idah o A. Each chapter, even with its problems, has been

a great joy and an inspiration to her. In the city of Los Ange les has come close contact with two chapters and the greatly appreciated oppo rtunity of acting as an ex-officio member on the two Advisory Committees for the past year. as well as chairman of a Committee on Intcrc hapter R elatio ns.
The Grand Secretary ha s come to the most difficult phase of her six years in the official Ii fe of the fraternity, that of retiring from office. At three Conventions s he has witnessed the deep emotion of those who have withdrawn from active official s ervice; feels in communion with those officers at this time To Pi Beta Phi exte nds her deepest g r atitude, anti her mo st complete appreciation for one of the riche st and most meaningful adventures of her life. H e r conso lation in retiring is th e realization that such fine friendship s as ha\'e been made will endure. It is for tho se of us who have worked close to the perso nality of our Grand President to express our devotion and admiration for all s he has s o generously given to us as individuals and to the fraternity at l arge, in order that she may know the profound a n d sincere appreciation of Pi Beta Phi. The Grand Secretary sho uld like this expression to s t a nd as one of her final pieces of r ecord ing for Pi Beta Phi.

Report of the Arro_ Editor
A T THE Pasadena Convention in 1921, the ARROW Editor wa s excused from chapter vi s iting and hence her work for the pa st two years has been primarily that of editing and publishing the fraternity magazine. While few changes have been made in the physical appearance of the magazine, the editor cannot help but feel that the spirit of THE ARROW has definitely become that of the fraternity rather than of an editor. Fraternity members everywhere have contributed news suggestions gener ously, chapter corresponding secretaries have given almost perfect cooperation, and alumna: club secretaries have volunteered news items in addition to those solicited.
The only regret of the past year is that the 1929-30 ARROW has not yet
been bound because of in sufficient copies of the May , 1930, ARROWchapter s have been solicited by letter, by notices and yet no response. Hence, the editor feels that the only fair method of dealing with this situation is to again a sk the help of chapters and that bound copies of this volume of TH E ARROW will be sent only to chapters that send a copy of the May, 1930, ARROW to the Banta Publi s hing Company at :Menasha, Wiscon s in, before November 1, 1931, and at the same time notify the retiring editor that this has been done.
For the past three years THE ARROW has been interested with other Panhellenic magazines in a national advertising program. A great deal of time and work had been spent on this,
but due to general business conditions it was deemed unwi se to continue efforts in this direction.
As the editor writes "finis" to the vo lume of THE ARROW of Pi Beta Phi s he wishes to thank the fraternity for the opportunity of se rving it nati ona lly , an opportunity which unfortun ately only few can experience. To a staff that has carried thr oug h
h er three years of office she wishe s to convey her grateful appreciation and the full c redit for any success THE ARR OW may have enjoyed-and to the national officers of the fraternity her app reciation for their friendship a nd associations of th e past three which s h a ll always be a happy m emory.
JOSEPHINE COATES MARSHALL
Report of of the Central
R OUTINE bu s ines s day after day mean s that this rep ort mu s t be statistical. Not long ago, at a Pi Phi party, the Director of the Central Office was introduced as the person who did so many millions of things every day, and had just traveled a hundred thousand mile s. Thi s is slightly exaggerated, but it is true that the business of a fraternity whose mailing li st i s over 20,000 verified addre sses , i s no longer counted in hundreds. The account of one national fraternit y headquarter s in a recent article contained the state ment that it had handled 40,000 pieces of mail in one year. In January , February, and March of this year we handled 50,000 piece s of mail.
C enlral O/fiee
During the pa st two years routine work ha s included the printing of nearly 300,000 sheet s of sta tionery, and their s hipm ent to officers, committees, chapters, and alumn<e clubs. It ha s supervi sed the printing 0 f the chapter m an ual, the pledge manual , printed letters to parents of pledges, financial state m ents, and reprints of practically all the forty-five blanks listed in THE ARROW. It has mimeographed several hundred cop ie s of each of ei g ht national committee m a nual s, the Sponsor Ceremony, one to five circular letters for every national officer and committee chai rman
in the fraternity. Copies of all of the above have been sent to the seventyfive chapters and forty officers on our regular mailing li st. Five time s each year it ha s sent out i ssues of supplies to chapters, including from sixty to one hundred sheets in each env elope, all of which h ad to be counted, checked, and packed. It has se nt two i ssue s of s upplie s to our one hundred and fifty-two alumm.e clubs. From this office h ave gone out membership cards for every paid a lumna, via the province vice-preside nt s . The Office has collected four thousand reports of various kind s from chapters and alumn<e clubs, and reis sued them to the nati on a l officers concerned. It has i ss ued 2, 200 direct or ies and initiation certificates in individual wrappers to the initiate s of 1929-31. It has sold $1,000 worth of supplies. It has h a ndled the ARROW mailing list, which contained more than 17,000 live names for the May issue. It has also prepared a li st of 3,000 non -s ub sc riber s , and h as circularized the Eastern states from this li st. It has supplied thousands of cha n ges of address for the alumnre personals. It ha s imprinted and sen t out a return post card to 17,000 alumnre, has r eceive d all but a few hundred of these with data on them, has recorded all new data on five cross-reference files, and has sent these cards to the chapters from which the came. It h as han-
died the Directory pages in THE ARROW. It has compiled the Standardization and Survey Re port. In spare moments it has pu t out a 775-page Directory of the fraternity, of 'which more detail is gi\'cn later in this r eport .
No longer is the Central Office the spa re time avocation of a Pi Phi who can work when and where she pleases. It is a large busine ss , which mu s t be handled by large- scale production. May I s ayan the authority of an expert on co llege fraternities, who recently visited our Office. that we are doing morc busine ss than central offices w ith three tImes our staff May I also say, that we can no l onge r h a ndle the bu si ness in OUT office, with its great increase eac h yea r, on its presellt basis, which is, th a t every time extra 'work comes in. the Directo r mu.;;t work until midnight and all day Su nd ay. There have been f ew weeks this year when th e re was not extra work. To be concrete. we s hould now have an assista nt who i s a Pi Phi, a nd one o r two more clerks. We s hould have more adequat e equipment. We ha ve ju st secured a s plendid office location but very so on will need more space, si nc e ou r files now co\'c r every available wall.
MailiHg List
The past two years h av e brou g ht increased accuracy to our mailing li st Each r e turn magazine and notice o f change of address se nt by the post o ffi ce ha s been handled by se nding o ut a card calling for correc t address, Nearly every card in the file contains a 1931 verification date. which means that we have heard from practically all Pi Phi s thi s year. The change of address s lip in e\'ery ARROW i s our most fruitful so urce of information. a s we have had severa l thou,and of these se nt u s in the past two year5. Indir ec t informati on is so inaccurate that we are veri fying a ll cl u es sent
us. The issue of 17,000 post cards to all alumnce brought out most gratifying re sults; practically every alumna in Pi Phi was willing to send in h e r pos t card, even if 6,000 of them forgot to put their chapters on the card, so that we spent some weeks looking them up \Ve began t o handle these cards as soon as they come in January. and sti ll are working on them; th e to be verified were the ones which were not accurately filled out. Each one wa s checked back with our file; incorrect spelli ng. e tc ., was rectified; addresses wer e carefully com· pared; a ll new addresses were sent to the May ARROW personals; when complete, packages of cards were se nt eac h chapter, and u se d by them to correc t individual c hapter file s.
Direclory
In August. 1930, books were closed to new initiates for the 1930 Directory. In Octob e r, books were closed to new addre sses In D ecember , the volume appeared. Th e expense now attendant upon t yp ing. proofreading, type setting, proofreading the printed copy, in se rtion o f la s t minute correction s, is a tremendoll s amount. This does not include the months of preparation appeals for new addre sses , cross-checking each divi sion of the Direct ory with the other div isions, because each card in the chapter section mus t have corresponding cards in the alphabetical and geographical sections. It does not include the ins truction 0 f six extra typists in the catalogue system of the fraternity, the renting of additional floor space, machines, etc. The Director wonde r s whether enough use is made of the Directory to justify the tremendous s train of executive work it entail s and the thousands of dollars it costs.
Visits

May the Director of the Central Office suggest to Convention that her dream today is a swi ftly comp le ted Endowment, that when the Pi Phi office is moved, it may go to Monmouth, and that the birthp la ce of our fraternity is the be st place there is in which to se t up permanent Pi Phi headquarters. Its beauty, it s strategic location, its hallowed memories, all these would mean the true center of our endeavor. Why not soon move to Monmouth?

Report of the National SUI.ervisor of Chapter Aeeouutin J!
O N SEPTEMBER 1, 1930, every chapter except one (North Dak ota A) had se nt a Reconcil emen t Sheet showing its correct financial condition at the close of school, as determined by its banker, which sheet
enabled this office to m a ke a final audit of the year's work of each chapter. The Bu sey Accounting System is sel f-auditing if the report is reconcil ed with the bank balance each month, the fin a l Reconcilement Sheet
proving whether or not this has been do ne
Durin g the month o f September the usual circular letter was sent to all chapter treasurers, with instructions as to opening the accounts for the new school year. Seventy-four c h apter s responded to this letter by se nding in comp l eted co ntr ol shee t s. North Dakota A did not send in a control sheet a s thi s office had not had cooperation from North Dako ta A s ince D ecember , 1929 Howev e r , a new treasurer was elected in February, 1931. and every effort is being made by the chapter treac;;urer, president, and finan c i a l adviser t o straighten out th eir accounts so that by Septembe r, 1931, North D a kota A will be in a position to u se the Bu sey Accounting System accurately.
Nevada A was excused from sending in a control s heet due to the fa ct that the chapter was not operati ng a house thi s year a nd c hapter plans were r a ther ind e finite.
All chapters are cooperating, se nding in correct reports on ti me , with the exception of North Dakota A, which has been di scus sed , and Illinois E which ha s been reported to th e Grand Pre s ident, assistant to t he Grand President, and to the Grand Treasurer.
In making this report this yea r we are having to r eport o n all chap ter s a s of May 1, as May reports and fin al reports will not be r eceived in this office until June 25. It is not a s satisfactory t o this office to report on April reports , due to the fact that balances may chan g e very m ate rially . eve n in one mont h, a nd delinquent li st s as of Ma y 1 may be entirely r e m oved by June 1. Ho wever, th e fact that thi s is Convention year necessitates making an earlier s urvey of all chapters.
The fo11owing c h apte rs s how r ed balances as of May 1:
Arizona A starting the year with no balance , have just about brok en even.
showing a balance May I of $67.70 in red, which will doubtless be eliminated before school clos es. They show no bills payab le or delinquent members.
Indiana B starting the year with $1,312.70, and showing a May I balance of $1,3 13 .15 in red They overran their expe nse estimate by $1,500. $600 in rent and $900 in food, a nd over-estimated their in co me by $3,000 and instead of s howing a n operating profit of $2,000 for the year, as they anticipa t ed. showed a loss of nearly $3,000. This was a result o f a lo ss of members-as br oug ht out by correspondence between this office and the chapter.
Kentucky A st ar t ed with $400. On M ar ch I it showed a loss 0 f $6.15. Lo ss caus e d by bank failure. Lik ely it will show a black balance by end o f sc hool year.
The foHowing chapters s h ow delinquent member s as o f May 1 :
of the se may be paid befo r e the end of the school year. However,
this is a decided increase over la st yea r. T o so me extent thi s can be credited t o the ge ner al dep r ess io n and ban k failures.
Th e nation al ruling on the election of tre as u re r in February ha s bee n, we thin k, ve r y well obse rved th is year in all chapters. Thi s rulin g should always be observed as a trea s ur er t ak ing office in May is n ot trained to take co ntr ol o f the c h a pt e r account s. A new treasurer s h ould have the advice a nd t he a ss is t a n ce of the form e r treasurer for at lea s t three months.
We s tron gly recommend th a t when a tre as u rer has proved h erse1 f competent , s he be elected to the office the se cond year , and that an effort be made to selec t the treasurer for her a bility and dep en dabilit y , rath e r th a n her popularity or need of financial assistance .
We wou l d very much discourage the practice of p ay in g a treasurer over $ 10 a m o nth for her work. As a n officer s he s h ould donate a certain amount of her tim e. Th e r e is a danger, if more is paid than enough merely to recompense her for the actual time spen t in accounting, that s h e be c h ose n on account of her need for the salary , or that she wilt un co n sciou sly overload the po sition with unn ecessa ry d eta il in ord e r to ju sti fy her sa lary. If she is capable a nd efficient $ 10 is ample to r epay h e r for th e time expended.
We also str o ngly recommend that wh e n the Preside n '; of a c h apte r h as been noti fi ed of the laxn ess a f a treasurer , if it continues, that the treasurer sh ould be rem oved from office and a new a nd co mp eten t one be elected to the office O fte n a real disaster to th e chapter finance s a n d re spo n s ib ilities wi ll be averted. Th e r esul t of s ix years' use of this syste m shows that a f a ilur e in correc t accoun tin g a second yea r always is d ue to choosing of an incapable t rea s ur e r. No girl sho uld ever be elected treas-

The sa me is true of the financial adviser. She s h o uld b e a n alumna of the chapter who is very interested in doing this phase of the work. The mere signing of a r eport is n ot all th at is requir ed. Wh e n a financia l adv i ser ha s sig n ed a r epo rt it mean s to this office th at sh e ha s co rr ect ed the assessment roll sheets, sa ti s fyin g herself th at a ll money r eceived e ith e r by assessment or g if t has been entered on tha t s h eet fo r the month, that all expenses of th e c hapt e r have been correctly e ntered on th e expe nditure shee t, that the m o nthly repo r t ha s been com pil ed correctly from the assessment roll s heet and expense sheet , that the bank balance is reconci l ed each month with th e check stub s and is found cor r ec t. It is th e ex perience of this office that in ord e r to g i ve the trea s urer the proper cooperation, in connection with her report, a financia l adv i se r s hould set aside one evening a month for this duty. Again may we recommend that the manu a l compiled by Mr. Busey be se nt to all visiting officer s, and to all adv is ory board chai rmen to be distributed to the fina n cial advise r s .

NOTr;; Financial responsibility means no delin· quents, maintaining good balance each month, sbowing total cash gain each month. Co· operation means reports sent in on time, cor· rect and neat.
Our experience over a number of years shows that the financial success of a chapter generally is not determined by what the chapter spends, but by what it receives. When a chap-
ter realizes that the gain of a member means a gain of some $600 a year, and that the financial stringency of a chapter generally comes from a lack of members, it has taken the first step toward financial independence. An effort should be made to have sufficient members when the freshman class has been chosen to guarantee a comfortable margin of income over expense, and whenever a vacancy occurs, to see that every effort is made to fill the vacancy at once instead of waiting until the end of the semester.
All chance of loss on account of vacancies can be eliminated by the use of a house bill set on a sliding scale increasing as the membership drops.
The National Supervisor feels entirely satisfied with the results obtained from all chapters. All treasurers have shown a wholehearted desire to cooperate with this office. Most chapters have shown an increased prosperity and stability during the year.
The national organization should feel gratified that seventy-five chapters have placed their financial str u clure upon a thoroughly sound basis, and are working yearly to keep it so.
May we thank the Council for its cooperation and thank each individual chapter treasure r

Rel,ort of tbe Historian
T HE work of the Historian during the interim of conventi on has been largely the examination and ing of material sent for the files. An abundance of new material has been received. Retiring officer s have sent their files and many have c o ntributed personal correspondence which has been of great service.
Because of the hearty cooperation of the members of the fraternity in sending in information of a hi storical nature, there has re sulted a wealth of material which is becoming almost unwieldy in its proportions. The Historian recommends that an attempt be made to rearrange the material on hand, bind in a more durabl : form certain documents which are now showing the ravages of time, and collect into one volume things which naturally fall in the same class, such as the copies of the Gatlinburg Nev;.f and chapter letters. The ARROW is at present the only material thus preserved. One thing is sure. Not any of this material mu st be allowed to be lost in any way.
On several occasions the Historian
has been able to supply material of a historical nature to those wishing to u se it in one way or another. She w elcomes any opportunity of having the files be of service to the fraternity. Some 0 f the in formation requested could not be supplied from the files; in these ca ses efforts were made to secure the missing data to be reserved for future reference.
The Historian wishes to acknowledge her gratitude to the many who have sent vaTuable contributions to the historical funds of the fraternity. She wishes to thank Miss Onken for her valuable assistance and helpful suggestions in the procu r i ng 0 f new material and the disposition of that on hand. Especially does she \Vish to mention Miss Emma Harper Turner, who has spent infinite time to place in the files of the fraternity much concerning the Settlement School hitherto not available.
As she exam ines each new piec e of work sent in or rereads that wi t h which she is familiar, the Historian is again and again inspired wit h the tireless energy exhibited, and the un-

selfish serv ice rendered by the many who have gone before, which has made it po ss ible for us to have so
rich a heritage. Their lives are a challenge to each one of us to "carry on."
GRACE FILLER
Report of tbe Chairman of tbe Settlement Scbool
I T I S a pleasure to rep o rt to the fraternity the steady forward progress of the Settlement School in Gatlinburg. No spectacu lar events mark the year 1930-31, but the definite influence 0 f the school in the COI11munit y can be seen in morc than one way. and the loya lty of th e people to the school can be mea sured by more than onc event. This evidence is exceedingly heartening when one consider s the changes that a re so rapidly making the remote village into one of many st opping places on a crowded holiday highway.
The leader s hip of the s chool was never more nceded, since material prosperity does not always bring higher ideals and unselfish motives, nor does a better standard of living connote honesty of purpose and integrity of life. The mountaineer needs the school to h e lp him pre serve hi s native heritage of staunch ideals , honest purpo se, out s tand ing integrity, and keen intelligence Guidance is needed as never before. Living standards are changing in the burg, but in outlying di stricts 1ittte change can be noted from the early days of the school.
The numbers attending the school vary little from year to year. The one hundred and seventy of thi s year is perhap s a high-wat e r mark. The fact th a t the high schoo l work is n ow being recognized by the state. and a small reimbursement per pupil voted annually is encouraging. The pressure for the last two years of high school to be given in Gatlinburg is great. but we cannot consider it und e r present crowded conditions. The pupils
Ita ve made sple ndid progres s at school and gained much through other activities within the school. Th ose who are living in the dormitories are exceptionally privileg e d since they gain much from the clo se association with the sta ff. The largest problem now facing us i s to find adequate and sa nitary dormitory fac ilities for the boys who for the past three years have been crowded into a small, dark rented cottage without heat, except in the living rooms; and unsuitable in every way for the purpo se to which it is being put. It is n ot right to ask the hou se mother to run the risk that she does there. Illne ss of a serious charac ter has each year been evidenced among the dormitory boys.
The management of the sc hool under the new principal, Mr. King, has been most satisfactory. Teaching has progre sse d favorably with a staff who are enthusiastic teachers and leaders. Home economi cs , agriculture, and manual training, and weaving have tak en their important place in the school curriculum under the most efficient direction of their respective tea chers. as we1I as reaching into the near-by commqnities and having their influence upon the people in them Volunteer work, done by Mi ss Glover and Miss Pratt, hav e eased the crowded dutie s of the other teachers , and made for a more effective daily prog ram.
Management of the home and supervision of the me als for a family of forty-five has been most successfully carried out by Mrs. Rorex, with help from loca l girls as cooks,
and dormitory girls in the cottages . The farm has been well handled and produced a satisfactory crop, and that in a time of widespread drought. Th is is due to the care of OUT farmers, aided by the dormitory boys.
The work of our nurse, Frances Moore, would require a sepa rate report, so varied and full is it . Her un se lfi s h serv ice is kn ow n throughout the co untryside , and she is dearly loved, and h er visits loo ked forward to. Lillie Reagan is the guardian of the Jenni e Nicol Memorial H ea lth Center and meet s the m a ny problems that co me to i ts doors in a capable :lnd competent manner.
As for th e Arrowcraft business, one could talk endlessly of the ever increasing variety of beauti f ul and us ef ul thing s that are to be found there. Each one of th ese l ovely things repres e nts help t o so m e local f ami ly : the bringing into so me hom e a f a nece ss ity or a little lu x ury which otherwise would not reach it. La Delle Allen can tell many a story of the men and women who have made baskets, furnitur e , towe ls, coverlets, etc., that would keep you spellbound. Her ab l e assistants, Veatre ss Parton and Alice McCarter, are Gatlinburg girl s of whom we are very proud. The Arrowcraft bu s ine ss has launched a new enterprise, and one that promises t o bring worth-while return s. In Apri l a littl e shop was opened in the Mountain View Hotel for the sa le of Arrowcraft products. Many of the vi s itors at the hotel did not find their way to the Arrowcraft Shop, so we th o ught it wise to bring the s hop to th e m The few weeks' return s are proving the wisdom of this ve nture
Co m munity act i viti es continue to th rive u nde r t h e wing of the sc hoo l. 11ee t ings of weaving women, parcntteachers association me e ting s, baskethall for the older boys of the community under }Ofr Mattil 's able s uper -
VISion, Old Timers' Day, and various other ac ti vities keep alive, and cause to g r ow, the plant of community sp irit and civic responsibility
Sugarlands has had a successful schoo l year under th e splendid direction of Eva Hathaway and Emily Burton, in spite of unforeseen occurrences. Sca rl e t fner closed the school for two week s in the fa ll. In th e middle of th e winter, Mrs. Dowell, our beloved house moth er at Suga rland s, was tak en ill very sudden ly, and lay in a critical condi t ion for weeks. W e are g rat ef ul indeed th at s he has made a good r ecovery, but regrctful that she cannot co m e hack to her helm'cd mountains to work \\ Itll her )o\'cd mountain folk. The work that Mr s. Dowell has donc at Gatlinburg and Sugarlanus cannot be estimatcd. IIer intlucnce has permci\ted the district. \or e Pi Phi s owc :\[r s. Dowel1 a very large deht of g ra tiltide. The sc ho o l a t Sug;lrlands will continue whi l e there are sc holars to attend it \Ve may expect to sell th e teachers cottage to the Park very shortl y, but we w ill continue to occupy it unt il th cre is n o further ne e d of a sc hool in tha t part of the Park.
The separa tion of the Arrowcraft business from the sc hoo l books and establi s hing it as a unit by it se lf , has e ntailed mu ch work o n the part of the bookkeeper, Mi ss Cooke, but is making for a clearer understanding of our financial state . Up until now it hac:; been ha rd to es tim a te whether the Arrowcraft ran at a loss or at a sli g ht profit. In th e future it will be easy to demonstrate just where it sta nd s. I mu s t tak e a m oment to eu log ize th e careful economy that is exercised at the sc hool. Each item of expenditure is sc anned carefully by the eag le eye o f the bookkeeper. \Ve a re indeed fortunate in hav ing su ch a wonderful manager. At all time s the pennies must be made to go as far as possible,
but it seems as though in this past year Miss Cooke has made the pennies stretch to dollars at times.
Words cannot express the love and admiration that all who come in contact with Miss Evelyn have for her. This has been a hard year for her personally, with serious illness in her immediate family, but willingly and cheerfully she has shouldered the additional burdens, and in a clearheaded way given advice and leadership that have resulted in definite achievements. Her report will tell in detail of the year's work. According to her, the outstanding accomplishment of the year was the forming of the parentteachers' association, and the taking over by the women of the community of the responsibility of the hot luncheon dish for the school children. The joy with which they undertook this service demonstrates that they now feel that it is their school. The seeds of precious years' sowing are now coming to harvest .
The committee wishes to acknowledge three definite gifts to the school.
T h e beautif u l bronze namep l ate now at our gate will ever remine u s a f the generos ity of Mr and ;lrs. Alfred Gibson. The nameplate ove r Helmick House is the gif t of General Helmick in appreciation of the naming of the teacher's COllage for his wi fe . The l argest, and a very m u nificent gift, comes from an outsider without any Pi Phi connections-Mr. L. E. Voorheis of Cincinnati, who has a keen interest in the mountain people, and the education of the mountain boys. It is a wood-working shop. It is now under con struction, and should be ready for use in the fall. To revive a nearly lost handicraft is indeed a wonderful thing, and we are fortunate to have been chosen as the school in which this is to be done. It shows a very definite appraisal of, and high compliment to, the work we are doing in Gatlinburg. It will be the largest
The Septembe r ARROW
individual gift we have ever received . Under the guidance of Mr. Mattil, it should gi ve wonderful opportunities to our boys for learning a new trade. Our school continues to take and keep its place among other mountain schools, and to make its contribution towards the solving of mountain school problems. It is a charter member of the newly-organized Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild. We also ha ve close connections with other agencies through the Mountain Workers Can ference where we are well represented. In state and county teachers meetings, health conferences, Future Farmers of Tennessee organizations, and other educational groups, we are ably represented by our staff. Every member of the committee has had a busy and happy year working for the school. The duties of each are different, and the wholehearted way in which they have carried them out has been a joy to witness. The clear vision and helpful di s cus sion of school problems in the round r o bins has greatly lightened the duties of the chairman.
Blanche Curtis' duties have not been easy, for accidents will prevent the getting of copy on time, and disappointments were many. She has patiently borne with these, and given the fraternity clear-cut glimpses of what is being done at the school through the "Little Pigeon News." It is with regret that we recognize that her term of offi ce is over, and with great appreciation, that we acknow ledge the splendid way in which she has conducted her department in THE ARROW , and faithfully performed her secret a rial duties.
Helen Tattl e has put the slides in order, and cared for requests for the slides and film s , and arranged the Information Folder regarding the school, which is delighting you all.
Rebecca White has had many and demanding duties which have kept her constantly busy. Letters to fraternity
officers, alumrue clubs, active chapters, and senio rs of 1929 and 1930 have been written. She has is sued Settleme nt 5-:hool program materia l to eighteen clubs and thr ee chapters, as well as materi a l On the schoo l and OIuuntain people t o indi viduals and ot her gl cups. She has maintained a vtry el"Sf contact wi th t he Central Office and the Magazine Agency that WAS mutually beneficial. In the spr ing she conducted a survey of the int eres t that the club members take in the school through a que s ti onna ire. The a n s wers were ta bulat ed . In addition lihe gathered together the o;tati tical da ta which is chartered in the Settlement School ex h ibit at thi s Convention. Her carefulne ss, thoroughness, and deep interest could not be s urpassed
For our tre asure r . Grace Post. only words of the hi ghest comme n da tion can be used. She has been untiring in her efforts to si mplify the books, and give the audit a form which will m a ke it clear to all how we stand from year to year. This has been a discouraging year fo r her. as fOf all the committee si nce contributions have been slow in coming in. a nd in some in s tances there has been a substantial reduction under the previous yea r . La st July we cut our budget for thi s year to the lowest possible figure. Now we fa ce the fact that we may not r eceive what we had budgeted for. We realize that clubs and chapter s are doing their utmo st to carryon as in previous years. and we are making no complaint. We must. however. let you know frankly the s ituation that is facing your Settlement School. The debt for the Indu strial Building is large. It will be years before it i s pa id off at the present rate of reduction . and before that occurs. we are not justified in undertakin g any new project. however badly needed. We do not. however. anticipate a reduction of staff or salaries, or a CUfta.ilment of present work so long as
th e clubs. chapters, and indi"iduals will con t inue to give their support as in the past. W e feel sure that we can count on you to continue to do what you have done.
The Chairman's duties have been a pleasure of the sple ndid cooperation on the part of every m e mber of the Committee. She is deep ly appreciative of this. and more th a n happy to have had th e opportunity and privilege of knowing intimat el y such sp lendid women. In Novembe r. s he made a visit to the schoo l to accept the wood-working shop . A visit of the Founders had been planned for that time, but un fortunately none of them could come . In April, a conference of thr ee me mbers of the committee was h eld at the home of Re becca White. It was deemed necessary to discuss cert ai n problems and make some decisions befo re committee meeting in AUgU3t. At the next meeting your Chairman regretfu lly gives up h er position afte r four years of v ery happy se rvice for the Settlement School. She begs to thank all th ose who have made her work a pleasure: To her Committee s h e gives a warm, affectionate appreciation of th e ir sy mp a theti c understanding of the prC'lb lems o f the schoo l and their close c ..... uperatio n in try ing to forward th e work there." To Grand Council members. and in particular to the Grand Pre s ident , she expre ss es a deep gratefulness for the patience and wi sdom that have been show n in advi sing her. To the Director of the School her heart goes out in true admiration a nd he :.1Ttfelt love {or all s he ha s given of time and thought to helping her work as chairman, and m a king it easier, and giving so much and so generously of her s elf in friendship. For the members of th e staff of the sc hool s he desires to express the pride that she feels. as does all Pi Phi, in the accomplishments that they are so s ucc ess fully achieving through their work in the school. With gratitude
she thanks the members of the fraternity-cl ubs , active chapters. and individua ls-as well a s interested friend s,
for their generous suppo rt of the s ch oo l.

Report of the Director of the I i i Beta Phi Settlement School
T HE report for 1930-3 1 follows clo se ly that of 1929-30. This is to be expected under existing cond ition s. The numb er in school would n a turally continue about the same as we cannot take mo r e boarding pupil s a nd the daily attendance changes but little from yea r to year. The several departments of th e school have continued along the same lines with no thought of further de ve lopment at present but a re a l effort to keep from tak ing any backward step s during th is t im e of financial depr ess ion. It ha s been ne cess ary for u s to cut our bud· ge t ea ch year for the pa st three and again th is year we shall do the sa m e, yet thi s we h ope ha s n ot been done with se ri o u s re sult s t o the re al work of the sc ho ol.

Not on ly th e contributions but the A rr owcraf t business held up to a lmo st the sa me fine mark.

Wh il e t h e park will come to within a half mile of Gatlin · bu r g we do n ot antic ipate many chang es for the schoo l.

School
Although we had a new princ ipal fo r the school and one new grade teacher, the work ran ... moothly fro m the sta rt a nd w(' enn report a good school year.
The total enrollment for the year was 170 Of this numb er 12-1 werc in the first s ix grades and 46 in the se venth, eigh th, ninth, and tenth grades.
The changes made in the grade bui lding of putting primer and grade in one room, scconrl, and third grades in the next, and fourth, fifth, a nd sixth grades in the third room proved much more satisfacto ry than having the fir s t tJll·ec g rad es in one room. It evened up numbers and work much better
The county allows us salaries for four grade teachers so the grade work is not carried at a finan c ial lo ss The sta te will a lso allow us thi s year a s mall amount per pup il for high school work. Whil e the s um is not large we feel it will increase year by y ea r and it will r e li eve some of our hardest working pupils of having to earn their tuition. Also this amo unt will be in cas h in stead of being worked out by the pupils.
Six pupil s completed eighth grade and six completed se cond year high school. Of those who fini s hed their work here a ll will probably go on to some other sc hool to finish their cour s e. There is a plea all the time for four years of hi gh sc hoo l here. This comes from th e univer s ity a s well as the people for they sa y s o few
schools provide ways whereby pupils can work their way through and the tra in ing they receive outsi de of school hours is of so much value. However we cannot think of adding those tw o years yet for It would nece ssitate more room for boarding pupils and we are overcrowded now.
The boys have had it good basketba ll team, King. the princ ipal , coaching. Th e gi rl s did not play outside teams but instead had an athletic cl ub . It gave them practice in se\'e r a l ga me s a nd we felt we r ea lly accomplished more in physica l training. H enrietta McCutchan coached the girl ..
One very real help in the schoo l the pa st yea r ha s bee n in h avi ng Miss G l over in charge of the study room. Miss Glover, a successfu l teacher herself, knew so we ll where she could be of the most help in the schoo l and the fact that she was giving h er services made n o difference in the steady hours she spen t in the sc h ool room.
The n oo n lun c h for the primary and underweight grade children wa s r es um ed with the u sual good re sults .
The cooperation of the P T.A. with t h e teachers was a grea t help in more ways than we can m e ntion eve n though their greatest help was with the noon lunch.
Agriculture
Smith Hughes Agriculture in Gatlinburg calls for leaving the straight path of high school teaching to quite an extent and one mu s t be versatile t o keep up with the various demands that come night o r day. Some it e m s from the report of Don Smith , agriculture teacher, give so me idea of the work but fail to tel! half the story.
Twenty-seve n boys were enrol1ed in the school cla sse s, 11 in high sc hool , 16 in seventh and eighth grade s These boys were given practical instruction in connection with the work on the farm-pruning and spraying, making a s hed for the prote c tion of the b ee-
hive s, making hotbeds, sla ught er ing hogs , and "cur ing" meat comprise so me of the thin gs done by the classes.
Cow feed was bought and the boys weighed and mixed it. Calls from parents of the boys were answered and help giving in pruning, spraying, and the treating of sic k animals.
The F.F.T. organization was a wideawake one. The boys sent two repr esentatives to Nashville for the state convention in the sp ring and several plan to attend the s umm er camp for a short t ime The purpose of the club, to quote Mr. Smith's r eport is "to st rengthen th e confidence of the country boy in himself, in country life and in the busine ss of f armi ng ."
The Pi Bet. Phi Chapter holds a member ship in the Sevier C o unt y Farm Bureau. This year the boys presented a loving cup to be given to the mos t out stand ing hi gh school gi rl, her name to be engraved on the cup . The name of Adi s Clabo was put on th e cup. Adi s is from Wear s Valley. This is an honor well worth working for and the first of the kind to be e stablished in the school.
A day unit cl ass was held at Laurel Lick, ten boys were enrolled and their work was with s mall shop to ols .
This sp ring six of the boy s are raising chicks gotten from the school flock.
The boys painted a room in the schoolhouse and erected a forty-foot flagpole on th e schoo l grounds.
The \Years VaHey class has been held the past yea r fo r men instead of boys. Thirty- six adult farmer s took up the study of Burley tobacco raising. The individual work with the farmers will continue thr ough the summ er.
Th e farmers in th e vic init y of Gatlinburg, under the of the school agricultural department, bought cooperatively tw e lve tons of cattle feed at a m ate ri al sa ving. Several bought fertilizer in thi s same way.
The home projects of the boys are always inter esting, as the following li s t will s h ow:
..•• Brood lOWS Fattening bog Dairy cows Beef calve s
A cre of corn I J4 ac r e! of p otatoes .;i acre beans
Evening class 2S farmers working with 10' bacco.
Day unit cla ss-6 boys working witb poultry.
Home Economics
Thi s department ha s followed th e same cour s e as in other years, high schoo l work duri n g the mornings , co mmnn ity clas ses and visits in the afternoon.
The high sc hool girls follow th e prescribed course but in addition have a g reat deal of practical experience. This year a project was made with the freshman girls in the dormitory of remodeling and repairing some dresses that had been sent in. As the girls are all working their way throu g h sc ho o l and ofte n with little help from home, the dre ss es were a great help a s well as a good le sso n. The sophomorc girls made th eir commencement dre sses. As the d or mit o ry takes so much time out 0 (school hou rs the freshman girls this sum mer will do their projec t s at horne
A class was carried one afternoon each w eek in Sugarlands, one in Laurel Lick sc h oo l, and an afternoon cla ss in Gatlinburg for the women. Foods a nd clothing were taught in the two schoo ls but the Gatlinburg class this pa st year studied homes. In the spr ing one kitchen was remodeled, one re a rrang ed, a living r oo m finished and furni s hed, as well as some other plans talked over.
In May Mr s. Zucarello, of the s tate department, was h ere for an intensive

sewing course and the accomplishments of these days under her are almost unbelievable.
Home visiting was quite a part of the program of this department the past year and one that should bring fine results.
The development 01 the P.T.A. was a real accomplishment and one that was sponsored by this department.
Although there was no Gatlinburg Fair the women had a fine exhibit of canning, cooking, sewing, and weaving in the fall.
Dormitory
Dormitory is a title much too large for our little cottages but not one bit too large for the work done. Anything in the line of dormitory life complicates the problems and adds to the expense of the school but there is no question of the big dividends it pays in the training given the boys and girls. That it is recognized is shown by the number of people asking to come to the dormitories, many more than we have any room for.
We surely have proved over and over that boys and girls like to be busy and that as long as they are busy problems of discipline are few. Only those who want to go to sc hool and who want to work come so we have a busy crowd mo s t of the time. The first few months they are here the work has to be pretty carefully supervised but they are bright boys and girls and usually make real progress in course of a year. We feel that the training given in practical work is as valuable as that given in the class room.
It is not possible to take more than twenty-five boys and girls and we usually do not have more than twenty. The ten in the boys' cottage have been in very crowded quarters but they never complain. We feel, however, that it is better to rent another cottage instead of the one we have rented the
past two years, moving the boys into a larger place even though further from the school. This necessitates fixing some place for a wash and dressing room and already a friend has given half enough to finish a room in the basement a f the grade school building. Last winter when there was so much sickness we realized that an unheated, crowded house caused many difficulties that should be avoided.
We all leel that here is a big field in which to develop boys and girls and give valuable training.
Heallh
Combining so much of bedside, school and community nursing makes such a full program in Gatlinburg that we would gladly modify it if we knew how to make changes for the better.
There are thirteen schools in this district that the nurse visits and in several a f the se sc hools carries quite a complete program. It requires rather frequent visits and the cooperation of the teacher.
Gatlinburg school awarded 21 b1ue ribbons the past year, which means that each child had had all remediable defects corrected, had been immunized against typhoid, diphtheria, small pox, had kept a satislactory health habit record for one month, and had done satisfactory school work.
One tonsil clinic was held in Sevier· ville, twelve from Gatlinburg being operated on.
A Knoxville dentist continues to come one Saturday each month but finds he has fewer patients, due no doubt to the people being able to get to Sevierville more easily and oftener. For this same reason the doctors have discontinued their afternoons at the Health Center. While we sometimes wish they did come regularly there is a saving in sterile supp lie s and drugs as the people now get them for themsel ves in most cases.
The past two years preventive LIIbercular work has been st res sed. Several chest clinics have been held. the state sending their spe ciali s ts for these clinic s An x-ray machine has been added to their equipment, which is of much help. Before the last chest clinic twenty tuberculin tests were given. There are a surpr i s ingly large number of cases and a real effort is being made to put these cases under a home program 0 f care that will be of benefit.
The year has brought a good many interesting and hard cases. One baby from two mil es above Elkmont has had to be taken to Knoxville frequently for treatment during the entire year. A fifteen-year-old girl with pellagra and leg ulcers was in the Health Center two weeks and while her legs are now hea led (after being bad for five years) and she is back at her home in Laurel Lick, she still is under the care 0 f the nu rsc,
The Red Cross s upply 0 f milk gotten this spring has been a g reat help for these cases.
The dormitory pupils and s taff have been on the sick li st much of th e year, Thirteen have been in the Hea l th Centel', a good man y other sic k at the Yariotls cottages. ]f one could stop outside wor k during these periods it would not be so difficult but as it is o ne nurse ha s to go in a good many different dire ct ion s, Lillie Reagan is a l ways the standby at the hospital and as dependable as ever.
The nur se has watched with interest the re su lt s of the noon lunch, especially in the cases of the underweights, and has been much gratified with the resu lts She has given of her time all the year in helping with menus, hand wa shing, and of course cod liver oil.
Perhap s a summing up of some of the work might help to give a little id ea o f the busy days.

But most difficult of a ll is th e 111ability to cope with the difficult situations that the nurse is sure to find.

Arrowcra/t
As the books clo se June 30 thi s report is not the final one.
Arrowcra ft, at the beginning a f the fiscal year, opened it s own books and own bank account. Not the least detail of the business has gone through the other schoo l books. Surely this year there will be no doubt about where we stand when the final report is made.
The bu si ne ss ha s held up well in spite of hard times. Sales have been of about the usual amount and payments prompt. The clubs Illust haye made a great effort to ha ve accomplished this and the result s ha ve been evidenced here in the employment given the women and in the prompt payments they have received.
Orders from the clubs coming in early in the fall relieved so me of the Christmas rush, returning all left-over goods and making final settlement before the books closed helped, a good many clubs keeping the sa me person in charge was a help to the club a nd the school. If only the time could come when a club account could be carried under one name instead of
several many difficulties would be avoided.
The Arrowcraft means more to the community than we can tell and it would he utterly impossible for us to carry this large business, for a real business it is now, without the splendid support the clubs and chapters give. With nine shops in Gatlinburg selling weaving and other home products our cash sales from tourists cannot be expected to be on a very large scale. Also our overhead is much more than any other shop and some materials are of a better grade so prices arc some higher in our shop. We do make every effort to send things out that will be lovely. that we can stand behind, and that will he salab le. Our real business must be mail and express and the Pi Phis those who keep it going.
Hotel Shop
Arrowcraft has made a new vent ur e this spring in putting a shop in the Mountain View Hotel. Mr. Huff built an attractive and very comfortable hotel la st year and at once we aspired t o a shop in the lobby. The sp ring was cold and business slow in starting but even this early we feel sure we can say the Shop is going to be a s u ccess. It is always interesting to notice the license plates on the cars parked in front of the hotel and eve n in winter one is surprised at the number of states represented every weekend: While a good many people come for several days there are a good many who stop at the hotel for only a sho rt time and never are n ea r the sc hool. The se are the ones who make the Shop worth while.
Weaving
Teaching weaving in Gatlinburg, like agri culture, home economics and nursing, is a varied program d ay by day.
Imagine having your pupils scattered up and down Roaring Fork, Mill Creek, Baskins, and every other creek, not one family living on an improved road, distances you must cover being anywhere from a short walk to a woman living in the field back of the school to a trip of a half day or more horseback or on foot. You hope you can wait for some of these visits until a pleasant day but perhaps a spec ial order must be hurried through and you go, rain or snow. Love of the outdoors, the people, and work is esse ntial.
The seventh and eighth grade girl:, have a double period of weaving each schoo l day. These girls do little for sale as their class work is real instruction from the very beginning. This class comes in the morning, and the morning i s also the time when most of the women come to the school for supplies, advice, and to make warps. The afternoons are planned for home visits but one cannot hav e a definitely worked out program from day to day. Too many things interfere to vary it
During the school year there have been 1,254 calls at the weaving room for supplies, warps, and advice. Miss Strand has made sao calls to th e homes. I only wish I knew the mileage, horseback, and walking these visits have required.
This year, Mi ss Pratt, a home demonst r a tion agent who has had to have time off becau se of poor health, has helped in the weaving room. She has weighed materials, made out the or· ders, and been of great help to Miss SHand. She has done this work in exchange for her board and room. It has left Miss Strand time for all the instr uction and has been a very satis· factory arrangement.
Th ere is a meeting for the weaving women one afternoon each month. It
is both instructive and recreational. The first half hour is given to some definite subject for instruction. Then follow games and ballad singing. Each time a committee is appointed to bring the refre shments for the next time and they are served in the lunch room of the school. From 25 to 35 women come and although many have long hard walks and the weather is often bad I am sure they mu st feel well repaid for the effort of coming for the attendance is very good. Because 0 f these monthly m eetings and the home work done we receive help from the state department for vocational education and this helps greatly in taking t:are of the salary of the weaving teacher.
Miss Strand has been with us two years and we are looking forward to having her with us again next year.
Office
The office work increa ses year by year, as Miss Cooke realizes all too well. In addition to the regular work of looking after all the bills for the place and keeping that work going, there are the time slips for the dormitory boys and girls to be checked twice a month and th ei r s tatements made out Each student knows exactly where he stands at the end of each two week s. The ever increasing amount of Arrowcraft business could keep one busy in the office most of the time for not only the shippii-t g bu si n ess but all that connected with the local people here mu st be cared for through the office and a great many are bringing in their weaving, furniture and baskets all the time.
But the biggest part of the whole job is in trying to keep expenses within that budget th at has been cut for the past thr ee years and that may ha ve to take another cut this summer because of hard times all over the country.
Wood-working Shop
Although this is a year when we are following a most rigid program of economy there is · one piece of real development going on. This is possible through the gift of a new wood shop for the sc hool. With no specia l interest in Pi Phi but a deep one in the development of the boys of the community, Mr. L. E. Voorheis ha s offered to build and equip a wood-working shop. Mr Voorh e is is from Cincinnati but has been spe nding much of his time in Ga tlinburg for the past four or five years and is wide awake to th e needs and the opportunities for help.
The shop will be built of rock, will be well planned and equipped, will have a dry kiln and be large enough to keep seve r a l boys and men at work. While the boys will be in schoo l part of the tim e it no doubt will be necessary to work a few men in order to keep up with the furniture orders that are alway s coming in. This will give an opportunity for the very kind of work we like to ha ve
This is much the l argest individual gift that has ever come to the school and we shall make every effort for it to fulfill the mission it is designed for. However there are absolutely no str ing s attached to the gift in anyway. The past year Mr. Mattil has continued his wood-working business and the orders have kept from four to seven men busy all the time. There are also two classes each Saturday afternoon for these m e n and the loca l basket and furniture makers, subjec ts discu ssed being tho se pertaining to their work, those working in the shop had work along the line of mechanical drawing and designing, as well as construction problems relating to furniture making, with c o ur ses continuing at home. The other class was in the nature of a weekly conference of problems arising in their work at home.
There is still the feeling that the wood-working department should be under the school management and eventually it must come to that hut just now we should be very glad to have Mr. Mattil carry it. Possibly by the fir st of the year a different arrangement can be made. It may be that the department can be self-supporting, with the aid we receive from the state for this work. OUT experience has been, however I that it always takes a few years to put any indu stry on a self-supporting basis.
Community
One goes on for several years, not knowing whether much is being accomplished or not. Then sudden ly some one thing develops with such rapidi ty yo u realize seeds must have been planted and roots growing for some time. Surely this must have been the case of the P.T.A. organization. The women responded too splendidly and loyally for any mushroom growth of community spirit.
The thing that stimulated this growth was the need for a noon lunch for the primary and underweight grade children. This had been discontinued for three years but all felt it should be re sumed and it was so voted at the 1930 committee meeting. The first steps taken were in the right direction. Members of the staff, particularly the nurse, home economics teacher and grade teachers, visited every home represented in the school. They told the need of a nourishing lunch, the way they hoped it could be managed, and asked for the parents' cooperation in sending vegetables, fruit, etc. Almost every family responded gladly and their interest did not lag during the school year. Each Wednesday afternoon the home economics teacher and the nurse made out the menu for the week and wrote the notes to parents who were to furnish supplies for those
days. The children bring a lunch from home and one extra dish is given. It may be tomatoes, custard, hot cocoaplain but n o uri s hing food. During the fall a box supper was given which netted enough to buy spoons, cups, and bowls for the lunch room. A supply of paint and an afternoon of work did wonders to cans, benches, and tables. The high school girls took turns helping with the dishes and also the hand-washing of fifty little folks.
Two meetings are held each month, one afternoon meeting devoted to business and one night meeting which takes the form of a community affair. Harp singing, speaking , plays, and games furnished the entertainment. The women conduct the meetings and are continuing them through the summer.
1 only hope that out of this will grow a group interested in civic improvement. With the rapidly changing Gatlinburg it is needed and it seems that there are leaders among the women.
For the first time several years Gatlinburg did not have a fair. This was due in part to the bad season for farm and garden crops and also to a lack of timely interest On the part of the local people. No doubt an off-year is a good thing now an then, and we are looking forward to a splendid fair this fall.
Old Timers ' Day continues to be the outstanding community day of the year. People, old and young, enjoy a real home day with old friends and neighbors. The contests of spinning, weaving, corn-husking, and in fact about everything one can imagine of the old days, create much interest and fun. It is the one distinctly Gatlinburg day of the year.
Last winter another community activity was carried on that we felt was tremendously worth while. From fifteen to twenty-five or thirty young
men gathered in the school auditorium two or three nights each week for basketball, Mr. Mattil coaching th e m. Somewhere to go and something to do are big problems in a little com· munity like this and ba sketball did much to help so lve them.
Farm
"What do you have on the farm?" and HHow much land h ave you?" are common qu es tion s. Wh en one checks t he feed and work bills it becomes evident tllhe must be quite a good deal.
Of our 100 acres only about 25 are under cultivation, th e re st is u se d for the school playground, the building sites, and wood land. The farm furnishes u s a great deal of garden truck, milk, eggs, poultry. honey, so me meat and some fruit. Some hay is raised but n ot e nou g h to f eed the stock al1 winter. The woodland furnishes the fir eplace wood and some lumber. The greatest thing the farm provided, however, is an opportunity t o carryon f arm project s and a place where boys can work under good in· s tr uction and supervision.
There is no doubt about the pr act ic a l experience a boy gets in looking after incubators and 1,000 baby chicks d ur i n g the spring, nor in taking care of a flock of hens all winter. Four cows and three hor ses must have care, f our sheep can be an intere sting proj· ect as can six or eight hives of bee s. Pigs and chickens con tinue to be the most popular projects for boys to have.
Althougb the farm is well managed and taken care of it is not self-support· ing. Perhaps so me of the se days it can be made to break even; a t lea st we are going to keep on tryin g. Maybe one reason it does n ot is because it is u sed so much for student labor and education. But what it lacks in dollars and cents profit is made up for in the splendid opportunities it offers the se young people who are from the farm

Sttgarlands
The opening of the sc hool term in August found Mrs . Dowell Eva Hathaway, and Emily Burton back on duty, Mrs. Dowell for he r 10th year, Emily for her 13th, and Eva for her fourth
The school wa s maintained as in other years. The eight grades were taught by Eva and Emily, the county paying t heir salaries. Mr s. Dowell was on the Pi Phi pay roll as housemother and community worker. Eva had shop work with some of the older boys, Mary Rachel Armstrong, the Gatlinburg home economics teacher, had a cl ass in Sugar lands one afternoon each week.
While th e school work has gone very well ' indeed, the g i rls have felt dissatisfied with their community accompli shments. The community has been demoralized for some time because of the uncertaintie s connected with the establi s hment of the national park. All knew th e ir homes must be sold. Some were g lad, some sorry, and all wondered ju st what wou ld come to pass. While many fami li es moved during the year the enrollment remained large enough to make a twoteacher school necessary and we believe it will be about the same size next year Our cottage is not yet sold but probably will be soon. However, we will be able to use it as long as there is need of a school there. When the Government really takes over the management of the park area we can look forward to a mo r e settled condition again.
In January Mrs. Dowell was very ill and we all had many anxious days. She has become stronger again but we fear for her to be in a place where she is so far fr om medical care and where there is neither telephone nor auto road. Mrs. Dowell ha s been such a vital part of the school family for
years and has so endeared herself to our group and the people of Gatlinbu rg and Sugarlands and her place is so hard to fili, that she will be greatly missed.
I have purposely omitted from this report a list of needs and improvements for the coming year. Until times are better and until all indebtedness is cleared our program is one of the st ricte s t economy. Yet we do not want it to be that which will cause us to go backward instead of forwa rd. On the report of the treasurer the first of July will depend many of our plans for the coming year. Contributions came in wonderfully l ast year in spite
of difficult times and we believe they will again this spring.
Because of illness in my family it was necessary for me to live away from the school from September to May. The staff so willing carried as much of my work as it could, in addi· tion to its own, Council and Com. mittee were most considerate and for. giving of my shortcomings and those who have waited an unduly long time for letters to be answered have been more than patient. The fine spirit of cooperation and real personal interest continues to make the work here a real joy and satisfaction.

Report of tbe Treasurer of PI Beta Phi SettleDlent School
N ATIONAL BOARD OF TRUSTEE FUNDS, PI BETA PHI FRATERNITY, MRS. LoIS FRANKLIN STOOL· MAN, CHAIRMAN:
Pursuant to my engagement, I have audited the books and records of your School Treasurer, Miss Grace Post, and am submi tting herewith my audit report, which consists of a Statement of Condition and Income and Expense Statement, together with supporting schedules. These statements were prepared from your Trea surer's books and from the audit report for June 30, 1931, of Messrs. Homer K. Jones and Company of Knoxville , Tennessee.
Schedule A-II gives the details of your Endowment Fund and your attention is called to the fact that you have reduced the amount due the fund from the fraternity by $1,728.62 during the year just closed. The statement submitted to me by the Harris Trust and Savings Bank s s hows that they have a cash balance on hand, in addition to that shown on this report , of $67.63, which I have not included in this report. This amount was for-
warded by you to them at the time you last purchased bonds and was to cover the accrued interest on the bonds at that time. When you decide what your wishes are in regard to this amount, entries can be made on your books at that time.
The audit report of Homer K. Jones and Company calls attention to anum· ber of small expenditures made by your School for permanent improvements. I have deducted from these amounts an automobile and a typewriter. The other amounts have been allowed to remain in your curren t ex· penses. The advisability of capitaliz· ing these small amounts is question. able and unless you think otherwise, I would suggest allowing them to re· main as they are included in your current expenses.
I trust that the other schedu les are self-explanatory.
Thanking you for the privilege o f again serving you, I remain,
Yours respectfully,

Report of PI Beta Phi Delegate to National Panhellenie Congress
T HE work of Pi Beta Phi ' s delegate to National Panhellenic Congress has been limited largely to that with the Congress itself. Reports from chapter representatives to college Panhellenics have been studied, however, and help has been given with the individual problems reported to her. She has maintained close relations with the N.P.C. Chairman of the Committee on College Panhellenics and has worked for the adjustment of all difficulties which involved Pi Beta Phi chapters. The record of the fraternity for ethical rushing is an enviable one and the past two years have found the fraternity free from any drastic penalization for the breaking of rushing rules, She urges, however, a still keener reali-
zation on the part of individual members of the fraternity of their responsibility for keeping both the spirit and the letter of all rushing rules. No chapter, she honestly believes, deliberately breaks ru s hing rules; some are discredited becau se individual members thoughtlessly do break them. On some campuses, bid day is that in name only since all groups know defi· nit e ly beforehand ju st what ru s hees are to be their pledge s Su c h a violation of the spirit of preferential bidding can but bring di scredit to the fraternity system. The condition cannot be remedied by anyone fraternity but Pi Beta Phi chapters could wen be the leaders in bringing about a correct use of the preferenti a l bidding
The Septembe r ARROW
system which would mean that every rushee made her decision without emotional pressure and without previous assurance of a bid from any fraternity.
From 1928 to 1930, as chairman of the N .P.C. Committee on Inform a t io n and Education, your de legate directed the publication of uniform articles of fraternity intere st in the magazines of N.P.C. fraternities. During the pa st year, she has served as a member of the Committee on Publicity and has provided for publication the article, "A nd How Does The Chapter Profit?" written by Mildred Tingley Beisel, Delta Province President.
Pi Beta Phi was officially represented at the National Panhellenic Congress held in Denver in February, 1930, by Margaretta Fenn Putman, Assistant to the Grand President, and Mary Frost, Chairman of the Committee on Extension, alternates, and the delegate. A full report of this interesting conference was given in the May, 1930, ARROW. Its outstanding actions were the adoption of a cons ti tutional change doing away with the formerly required unanimous vote for Congress action; the adm ission to associate me m ber s hip of Beta Sigma Omicron, Lambda Omega, and Phi Omega Pi; the reaffirmation of the agreement with educational fraterniti es not to enter the teachers' college field; and the definite planning for closer relations wi t h college and c ity Panhellenics.
At the second biennial Pan he ll enic conclave held at Ohio Wesleyan University in December, 1930, Pi Beta Phi was represented with distinction by Margaretta Fenn Putman, the fraternity's official r ep resenta ti ve, who conducted a round table on "F reshman
Panhellenics," and by Dean Maria Leona rd of the Unive r si ty of Illinois, who addressed the women s tudents on "The College Fraternity as an Educational Asset." Mrs. Putman attended also some of the sess ions of the Conference of Urban Panhellenics held in Evanston, during the spring of 1931. Pi Beta Phi is proud of the honor given Helen Weyl, Indiana r, in her election as president of this Urban Panhellenics Association, and expects from her the giving of a very real service to fraternities. The N.P.C. Delegate regrets her inability, because of a previous engagement, to attend the Panhellenic conference held at Ohio University in April, 1931. She wishes to express the fraternity's plea sure in the gracious h ospitality which Ohio A extended to Miss Lorah Monroe, Sigma Kappa, the chief speake r of the conclave. Your Delegate enjoyed greatly the privilege of being the guest of honor at the Panhellenic banquet given at the University of Arkansas in May, 1931.
The N.P.C. Delegate wishes again to express her appreciation for the interfraternity contacts made possible for her and for the increased realization of the value of fraternities as a whole and of the strength of Pi Beta Phi which the se contacts have given her. She has sincerely tried to protect the intere sts of Pi B eta Phi, to make unquestionably evident it s desire to cooperate in all thing s which work for the furthering of th e cause of the fraternity system, and to assure for her own fraternity the recognition and esteem which its accomplishments merit AMY BURNHAM ONKEN

T HE Ext en s ion Committee pre s ents two petitioning group s for the consideration of Conv e nti o n : the G amma Sigma Club of the Univ e r s ity of South Carolina and the Alpha Upsilon Sorority of the University of Alberta. The form e r ha s been working since 1927 when the ban o n women's fraternitie s was lifted from its campus.
The latt er g o t in to uch with Pi Be la Phi in January of 1930, about three months after its formal organiz a tio n and r ec ognition as the fir st women' s local at the Univer s ity of Alberta. Both groups have the full support of the Pi Phis who know them. Both open up territory which ha s no chapters. Both are in state in stitutions with the security of future which the term implies-the fir s t in one of the oldest commonwealths of the United States, the second in a Canadian province rich in barely-tapped resources. The Extension Committee believes these two petitioning groups offer a rea) opportunity to the fraternity on a sound basis for expansion.
Since last Convention three other locals , which had been in correspondence with us for some time, have been finally discouraged. The usual policy of granting charters only at Convention meant that they would have to be competing with nationals on their campuses for two more years before this Convention could decide their fate. In most cases this would have resulted in a weakening of the organization. Moreover, their situation in states that already had two or more chapters of Pi Beta Phi was not compensated for by any appeal strong enough to promise a fair chance of success here. Two of these, within six months of
their last inter change with us, were chartered by o ther nationals with less exacting extension policies. Phi Phi Phi of Deni son University, Granville, Ohio, became a part of Alpha Phi; Pi Rho Phi of Westminster College, New Wilmington, Penn sylvania, received a charter from Gamma Phi Beta. The third group, Ero Alphian of Michigan State College , East Lansing, failed to over come all opposition even after a year s pent in a concentrated effort to build up its s trength . It has not had time to make new connections.
The committee believes that another group, Mu Lambda in Duke Univers ity, Durham, North Carolina, may be worthy of serious consideration within the next few years. This is the only local on the remaining list which seems to justify a recommendation for either encouragement or supervision.
Professional schools are not open to National Pan hellenic Congress fraternities. For this reason, a group at Marshall College in Huntington, West Virginia, and another in St. John's College School of Law in Brooklyn had to give up almost as soon as they began.
A large number of inquiries carne from states that already had two or more chapters of Pi Beta Phi. Since experience has showed the difficulty of interesting conventions in locals that do not open a new geographical field or offer exceptional educational opportunities, organizations in the following institutions were not encouraged: Hunter College and New York University, both in New York City; evening sessions, University of Buffalo, which could give no college life, and another group in the Univer-
Th
sity of Buffalo proper; Ithaca College in the same town as Cornell; and Alfred University in Alfred-all six in New York State. Ohio follows with three new inquiries in this class: from th e University of Cincinnati, from Marietta College in Marietta , and from another local in Denison University. The re st are scatte r ed, ha ving come from Oklahoma City University, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma j Colorado College , Colorado Springs, Colorado j Bradley In s titute, P eo ria, Illinois; American University. Wa s hington, D.C.; and the University o f Penn sy lvania in Philadelphia.
A third class is mad e up of general inquiries about Pi Beta Phi and its extension policy, sometimes from members of the fraternity who are interested in developing groups and so metimes from loc a ls that appear only to be in forming themselves. Pi Phis e nrolled at the University of Alabama s upport ed th e cause of a group that did not go beyond the initi a l stages. The same thing occurred when an alumna wrote about some girls at the University 0 f Montana. A member of the fraternity connected with Ohio Northern University at Ada, Ohio, a sked for general information for u se of groups ju s t being formed there Albuquerque Pi Phis fostered a club at the University of New Mexico and very regretfully saw that it was not ready for nationalization because of the re sponsibi litie s involved. Inquirie s came also from the College of Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina, and
from So uthwe st er n College in Memphis. A telegram from Royal Victoria College, McGill University, Montreal, an noun ced that a group was ready to inte rn atio nalize , but the group took no further step s when it received information about the length of time and the work n ecessary.
After National P anhe ll enic Congress met in Denver in February of 19301 extension chairmen of two of its newer members asked for the names of inquiring groups which Pi Beta Phi could not l for some r easo n, encourage. Upon the approval of Miss Onken I introductions by lett er were duly mad e to th e evident gratification of both locals and nationals.
If eve r y Pi Phi knew how graphically the Extension Committee desc ribe s the difficultie s and uncertainties besetting the way of would-be petitio n ers, there would be a much more general understanding of the true conse rv atism of the expansion policy. How eve r l building from without is nece ssa ry just as is building from within if a healthy balance is to be maintain ed . For thi s rca so n and because each has fully met all requirement s l we again be spea k your thou g htful attention to the two petitioning groups: Gamma Sigma and Alpha Upsilon.
I have greatly enjoyed my s hare of the work of the Extension Committee and the association with members of Grand Co uncil and other Pi Phis whom I hav e known through it.

Standardization and Survey
T HIS report is a brief resume of the extensive table of grades compiled, under direction of Grand Council, by the Central Office from detailed reports se nt by national officers and committee chairmen, province presidents l and chapter advisory com-
mittees. To chapters high on this report, and recommended by their respect i ve province presidents Grand Council a wards the Balfour CUPI the Stoolmano Vase, and honorable menti on. For obvious reasons l complete national rankings arc not published or
sent out, and no chapter is given the complete grades of any other chapter. However, advisory committees and chapters arc urged to study their Q\'Vtl reports in detail, as soon a s arc received, since they indicate points 0 f strength and weakness.
The first four grades given may range from Very Good to Very Poor; no chapter is eligible for first or second place in it s province which falls below Good in any of these grades. The last seven grades are in percentages, which may total as high as 100 per cent; among those eligible in the first fOUT grades, the ones ranking first and second in the la st seven grades will stand first and second in the province. The first four grades, estimated by Province President and N aliona! Visitor, are given for: Place in College Regard, National Viewpoint, Atmosphere, and Ambition. The last seven grades are given for: Scholarship, made up by the National Committee from the sc holarship report s of the preceding year, counting 40 or less; Fraternity Study and Examination, made up by the National Committee from r es ults of the current year's fraternity examinations, counting 5 or le ss; Central Office, g iv e n for cooperation in s ubmitting report s to that office, which acts as a clearing house for reports to nearly every officer in the fraternity, counting 5 or less; Activities, given by Province Presidents and N ational Vi sito rs , counting 20 or less; Chapter Organization and Internal Efficiency, given by Province President and National Visitor, counting 15 or le ss; Cooperation, made up by averaging grades on cooperation submitted by from eight to eleven national and province officers and committees and alumnae advisory committees, counting 10; Financial Responsibility, given by Supervisor of Chapter Accounting, Visitors, and Alumnz Advisory Committee, counting 5. A chapter emi-
nently :-.ati .... factory III c\·e ry regard, may reach a total of 100 l)Cr cent and ha\'e grades of Very Good in every quality.
This year a careful plan of the repnrt was sent every officer and COIllfll)UeC concerlll'c1 and as" blanks \\ erc promptly filleci In and returncd hy cveryone, \\ ith the exception o f a few a{h j.,ory committees. Report s rccein.'d after thc date the table was closed were too late; in many cases chapters wOllld ha\'c profited had these been in time to be included. May the compiler suggest that this report is the opportunity for the Alumnre Advisory to give officially its opinion as to chapter cooperation with it? All officers and committees reporting have given careful consideration to every grade; the total report r epresents hours of thought by many persons interested in the chapter.
Below are given chapters high in their own provinces, and individual grades which are good or poor, taken from various reports.

Scholarship
T HE work of the Scholarship Committee falls into two parts: first, the detail of receiving reports and tabul ating figure s; seco nd, the more personal work with chapters. There is a very definite need for the reports, as they enable the committee to see just how mu ch good is being done and where special work is nceded. It is most important that all chapters realize the significance of both promptness and thoroughness in the making of these reports. Even slight o mi ssions make the work of the committ ee both more difficult a nd less valuable Careful attention in the making of all reports would increa se the efficiency 0 f the committee and leave more time for personal work. Promptness places each chapter's problems before the committee in time so that a definite program may be worked out. The followi ng chapters are to be especially commended for this: Cali fornia r, District of Columbia A, Iowa B, Minnesota A, Oklahoma B, Virginia A, Virginia r, and West Virginia A.
I feel that the mo st important function of the committee is the personal' relation ship with chapters, The chairman has this year sent letters of con-

gratulation to all chapters holding first place on their campus. This was a real pleasure and it is hoped that the number of such letters will increase each year. We have eight firstplace chapters: Michigan B, North Carolina A, Ohio B, South Dakota A, Tennessee A, Virginia r, West Virginia A and Wisconsin B. In addition to the se the following held first place for a part of the year: Illinois A, one semester; Iowa r. one term out of three; Missouri r, one semeste r; Wyoming A, two terms out of three; Colorado B and Montana A each one term out of three,
Helping chapte r s with scho larship is very important. The problem of each must be studied and a program outlined to fit its individual needs. I think I can best explain this phase of the work by telling you of a chapter I have been working with this year. Among other problems, it faced the one of very low scholarship and the Grand Pre s ident asked me to see what could be done. I felt the girls should have a chance to state their case and wrote them a letter asking them to tell me frankly what their difficulties were and to suggest how I could be of help.
The answer was a most sel f-sufficient letter which said that everything possible was already being done to improve their scholarship. Feeling that their attitude was wrong, I outlined a plan which seemed very severe.
1. Each girl whose average was not equal to the initiation requirement the previous semester was required to stu dy two hou rs a week fOT each registered hour. The fact that the proper amount of studying had been done was to be reported weekly to the class member of the committee.
2 Each girl whose average was not as high as the requirement for ini ti ation was to drop all outside activities until her grades wer e at lea st that high.
3. No courses were to be dropped without notifying the scholarship committee. The committee was t o consult the professor in question a nd arrange the most favorable basis for withdrawal. This grade was to be reported to me at once.
4. The committee was to obtain from profes so r s a monthly report of estimated grades for all chapter girls and pledge s.
S. The chairman of the s cholar ship committee was to read in chapter meeting the names of all girls with grad es below C on the monthly reports and names of the cour ses in which they were low.
6. The scholarship committ ee was to meet once a month and to prepare at this time a report of average s of all girls and study time of girls who were low.
Their next letter s howed a decided willingness to cooperate and with one or two minor changes this program has been carried out through the year. When the first semester report for this year came from the university it showed that the chapter had raised its scholarship standing from twentythird place to eleventh in one semes· ter.
It is obvious that it would be impossible for the National Chairman to do snch intensive work with al1 chapters who need help. If the reports come in promptly and the information on them is complete, it will leave each supervisor free to work with chapters which are low in her own province. The National Chairman can act as a clearing hou se.
Pi Beta Phi aims to have its sha re of first-pla ce chapters and of chapters in the upper one-th ird. It is our hope that we can keep chapters from remaining persistently in the lower third .
It is interesting to note that on ca mpuses where there are chapters of Pi Beta Phi, other national fraternities held first places as follows: Delta Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Phi Mu, three each; Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Delta Delt a , Delta Phi Epsilon, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Bet a Sigma Omicron, two each. These are fir st places for an entire year.
You may also be interest ed in the comparative standings of the provinces: Zeta, Gamma, Delta, Eta. Kappa, Epsilon, Iota, Beta, Theta, and Alpha. Beta, Gamma , and Delta each had two first places . All but one chapter in Zeta Province was in the upper third.
A chart of the comparative standings of chapters for the last two years has been prepared. This shows that ten chapters made a decidedly higher rank this year than la st , while eleven had a much lower standing.
The Committee has made a survey of initiation requirements. The grade curve is used extensively in twentythree colleges where we have chapters and to some degree in forty-one others where Pi Beta Phi is represented. Most Panhellenics have a set requirement for initiation and in thirty-four cases the requirements of our chapters were higher.
A study of methods for bettering chapter scholarship has been submit-
ted to Grand Council. If this can be put in us able form for s u pe rvisor s a nd visiting office rs who have special scho larship probl e m s to so lve , it will be most helpful.
and I am mo st grateful for t he coope ration of the members 0 f my committee and for t h e in spiration a nd he lpful suggestion of Mi ss Onke n and Mi ss DeWolf.

TH E chapters have cooperated quite well with the Committee on Transfers, this year. We are sorry to report that the individual transfers have not, in ma ny cases, notified us upon transferring THE ARROW gave a very prominent place to the new procedure of this Committee, that of the transfer herself notifying us. We expected better cooperation but it seems to take time for new ideas to be carried out.
A letter was sent in November asking chapters for a list of transfe rs on their campuses and a list of member s from their chapter attending schools elsewhere. The work of this committee depended mo stly on these replies. Many Pi Phis were found at sc hools where we had chapters. In each case the chapter was imm ediate l y notified of the Pi Phi attending their sc hool.
In many cases adv isory board members were in correspondence and it was so inspiring to read of the keen interest taken by the se boards.

To the Grand Secretary I am deeply grateful for her monthly letters aDd for the knowledge that I could have recourse to her in time of need. To the Grand President, I am again indebted for the privilege of having served, in my sma ll way, Pi Beta Phi.

Ch apte rs in the larger schools seem t o me et quite a difficult s ituation, that of locating all the stray members in attendance. If the tran sfe r wou ld only realize this condition and notify the Committee, it would help. not only her individually, but the chapter and this Committee as well.
Michigan B reported nine, the largest number of tran fers on one campus. Tex as A and California 6. each reported six. Fourteen chapters reported none . There were a total of 89 transfers reported from information received from 49 chapters.
We trust that transfers in the future will feel more free to notify thi s committee and will do so at an early date. This year seven notified th e committee.
The committee has enjoyed the correspondence with chapters and individuals and we hope we have bee n a service to the transfers for whom we are in existence . CHRISTINE YERGES CONAWAY

House Building and Plans
T HE pre sent advi s ory committee on chapter finances, hou s e building, and plans began it s wo rk a little over two y ea r s ago . As very little had been done in thi s particular field by Pi B e ta Phi, the c ommittee decided to divide up its work into four divisions, hoping to make a start on all of them by the n ext Convention. First, the answering of all inquiries that might come to this committee from chapters or alumna': clubs; second, the sending of a questionnaire to all chapters in order to get all th e information possible regarding our Pi Phi houses, their co sts, methods of financing, present financial status, etc. ; third, to proffer aid and advice to tho se chapters contemplating building in the near future; fourth, study of chapter budgets.
The committee has had corre spond -
ence with eleve n ch a p te r s. In mos t of these inquiries the chapter wanted information about our building lo a n fund. In two c ases th ey want ed lo a n information and informatioa regarding incorporation prepa ratory to building.
A que s tionnaire was sent out in March, 1930, to seventy- seven ch a pters . The re spon s e wa s very slow in coming ba ck and a. gr eat d eal of follow - up work had to be done. Finally in just a years time, we have returns from seventy-two chapters . Since March , 1930, Penn sylvani a a and We s t Virginia B have become inactiv e, Illinoi s B and a have join e d and no respon se whatever has been received from Tennessee A and Ohio B.
Eleven chapt e r s have indicated on the que sti o nnai r e that they e x pect to build at som e future date a nd some
correspondence has been carried on with several of them.
The study of chapter budgets has not been touched as yet.
The Questionnaires contain a great deal of valuable information to this committee. Your chairman has grouped them by provinces and has charted various points. The chart is too detailed for this report but there arc some results that will interest you.
Forty-four chapters own their own houses, with a total value of $1,496,665, not including the costs of Arkansas A and Nevada A. These houses were only recently completed and figures are not yet in. The debt outstanding on these houses is $742,666, not including the two chapters mentioned.
Epsilon Province has the largest total in money value, $306,133; Beta Province the smallest value with $10,000.
Eight chapters rent houses with the girls Jiving in them, eighteen rent rooms or apartments. Four of the owned lodges are for meetings and social events only.
Our Pi Phi houses seem to be in pretty good condition as regards finances. Only one report told of actual trouble and that chapter house was to have been refinanced this year. I would say two or three other large houses are over-financed and will most probably have some trouble in the next year or two.
There has been a growing tend-
ency on the part of both sororities and fraternities in the past fou r years to outdo their neighbors and bu ild something bigger and better. In too many cases a house has been built that ga ve everything wanted to the chapter with not enough thought placed on how it was to be paid for . Fraternity financing is about the most hazardous of all building financing due to the changing personnel taking charge of the finances. I feel very strongly that an overfinanced house is a tremendou s burden on a group and does them more harm than good. At the present time Pi Phi offers no supervision as to the cost of any of its houses, I feel that this might well be considered by the fraternity.
The methods of financing used by the various groups are many and varied. Nearly all house organizations are incorporated and use the stock method or bond method to raise funds. No set rule can be laid down for financing as it must differ in the various parts of the country and be governed by the laws of the different states. This committee will gladly advise any gro u p needing such information.
The work of this committee is mos t interesting and I hope Grand Council feels we have justified ou r exis t ence. It has been difficult always to get i n touch with the proper person to get information, but we have now on hand sufficient data to feel fairly well informed on Pi Phi housing conditions.

I N AN effort to interest all active members in the preservation of their health, and the elimination of preventable illness, the Fraternity Health Committee devised a health competition in which it was hoped all chapters would enter. Each girl was asked to keep accurate count of the
number of days or half-days throughout a whole year (including holidays) in which she was not well enough to carry on her usual round of duties or activities. As most illness is preventable, the Committee hoped that all ta king part would make a real effort. both to keep well and to reduce time
lost by unavoidable illness. We all know how the neglected cold may re· suit in a long and serious illnes s which might have been pre vented by suita ble early treatment. By avoiding o ver fatigue, securing sufficient exercise, and adhering to a s imple diet , the av e rage girl can maintain a high degree of good health . A yea rly medical examination to check up in cipient di s ea se is also highly recommended .
The competition began January 1. 1930, and twenty-six chapters entered. As the senior cla ss left co llege the end of April , it wa s d ecid e d to count time

lost by seniors for the first four months of the ye a r only-and time lost by aU other actives for the complete year. R e turns f o r seniors were se nt in last summer and final returns for actives were due in by February I; , 1931. Twenty-fo ur chapters ( the li s t is attached) sent in returns for se ni o r s. Unfortunately ten of the s e did n ot k e ep up complete return s for their remaining member s for the balance of the year and only fourteen ch a pters sent in final complete return s They wer e a s foll o ws:

In going over the records it was found that Illinois A came first. Florina A second, and Iowa B third.
Illinois A had 3 seniors who lost 3 days in 4 months, 9 days in 12 months, and 12 actives, who lost 6 days in 12 months. This works out to 1.0 days illness per girl per year.
Florida A had 3 seniors who lost 3 days in 4 months, that is, 9 days in 12 months, and 8 acti ves, who lost 4 days in 12 months. This works out to 1.2 days illness per girl per year.
Iowa B had 8 seniors who lost 3 days in 4 months j that is, 9 days in 12 months, and 17 actives, who lost 26 days in 12 months . This works out to 1.4 days illness per girl per year.
Several of the other chapters did nearly as well and all who entered did extremely well and are to be congratulated on their splendid results. Chapt ers with larger memberships
had a more difficult task than the smaller ones and for this reason I am very pleased with California 6's record and only hope that another time a repre se ntative group such as theirs will succeed in becoming the winner.
The members of the Health Committee felt that more chapters would have entered the competition had they been given longer notice. Some chapters did not grasp the rules of the contest and were disqualified because of inaccurate results . It is hoped that i f another competition is attempted these mistakes may be e l iminated. The Committee keep in t o u ch with each o t he r by round robin letters and take pride in the efforts put forth by the active girls to keep themselves fit and worthwhile members of our grand old fraternity. As Chairman I should like to express my appreciation of the splendid cooperation given by the variou s
members of the Health Committee at all times.

O UR committee has concentrated its efforts upon two projectsmusic plans for Convention and the publication of the new Song Book. The latter will be ready for distribution at Convention, and we hope it will be usable and popular with all members of the fraternity. It contains fourteen new songs, five new parodies, and all of the favorite old songs.

TH IS Committee IS the youngest of the Standing family, having been born only two years ago in Pasadena. It is a precocious infant, getting out bulletins and sending questionnaires . But what could one otherwise expect, since it saw the light in California and ha s been nourished in the corn belt!
The first year, it sent a questionnaire to each chapter having a house, asking many intimate questions about what sort of a woman the chaperon was, and what she meant to them. With a very £e\v exceptions, the chaperons were reported as above the average and the relations between

ing the best contribution as a whole . The result s of the work are most gratifying. Sixty·nine chapters cooperated with us and contributed toward the bulletin this year, whereas only fifty-two responded last year. The new method necessitates less letterwriting, therefore, less expense.
FAITH MARTIN HANNA
only eight new songs in re s ponse to our letter sent out to all of the active chapters the first of the year. This was a great disappointment , but some of the songs were very nice. The choice for the prize winner will be made at Convention, and the s ong vase now in the possession of California ll. will be pa ssed on to its new owner.

them and the chapters as both friendly and helpful. With few exceptions also, the chaperon meant more to the girls than just a housekeeper or just an older person in the house.
The second year, it sent the bulletin on Relations, got out cards for change of address and of chaperon, and another questionnaire. This one was to the chaperons on their duties and living conditions, and their attitude toward the work. In all but a few cases she shares duties with the girl s in self-government and in all but one or two cases the girl s were considered both conscientious and adequate in the management of affairs.
.\OOU1 one-third are chaperolls only; others are also commissary and house manager . The majority think tha t their office should include also that of commissary, basing their opinion on the fact that more experience and more time should enable them to buy and to plan meals more efficiently than girls can. Some think that a more homelike atmosphere is thereby attained. Some thi n k that they need that work to keep them interested. A sma ll minority think that their time a n d attention be kept for the cultural
needs of the house. Salaries of chaperons only, run from only board and room to $50 in two cases. There are 16 who arc chaperon only. For chaperon and commissary, salary is from $25 a month (plus room and board) to $100 in one instance. Only 9 have a living room which is not also a bedroom. The chaperons are unanimous in saying that the best a chaperon can give the girls is the best that is in her -heart, mind, and soul.

Reports of Province Presidents Assistant to Grand Preside n t
D URING the two years of this newly-created office a close contact has been built up between the a dvisory boards and pledge supervisors, this work having been assigned to me as my particular duty. Letters and questionnaires have been sent out each year to both and we have had some very gratifying results. The work has been, I believe, more clearly defined and more fully developed. The annual reports from advisory boards this year have been the best we have had. and they showed splendid work which will strengthen materially, not only our chapters, but al so our own internal
This year I sugge!\ted a kind of outline, or rather a series of questions to the boards to use as a frame work for their reports, and it has met with considerable approval. I asked them whether or not they felt a prin ted outline corresponding' to some extent with the questions askeel would be helpful. They seemed to think it would. So may I to Grand Council that they consider formulating- such a blank for use for advisory boards. Of course this blank rnig'ht be optional, for already some boards have worked out their own plan for r eports and they seem fine. Perhaps in form it might be somewhat like our "Instructions to Visiting Officers or In spectors."
I have conducted three surveys, resulting from Questionnaires sent out thi5 ye<lr and last. They concern, first, the matter of OUT chapter turnover. or rather the loss we sustain in membetween freshman and senior year, and the comparison of our percentage with that of the institution in
which the chapter is loc a ted; second, the matter of cost of initiation in the individual chapters , and the distribution of that money, and also pledges to house funds and the manner in which they are paid i and thirdly, a compilation of data obtained from pledge supervisors concerning pledgeship and pledge study. These surveys are attached hereto.
Last year I checked up on the use of the uniform recommendation blank for rushees, and found that many chapters were not using this form. This year, however, all chapters used the recommendation slip obtained through the Central Office .
During these two years I have visited offici a lly 21 chapter s which include: Pennsylvania A, B, and r; Ohio A, B, and 6; Indiana A, B, r, and 6; Minnesota A; North Dakota A; Manitoba A; Iowa Band r; Missouri Band r; Kansas A and B; Nevada A, and Ca lifornia 6; and the petitioning g r oup Alpha Upsilon at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. All of this chapte r visiting has been a great joy. The spirit of our girts is wonderful! And the enviable positions which our chapters hold on their respective campuses is a source of real pride in our fraternity.
It was a very great privilege to have been an alternate to the National Panhellenic Con ference held in Denver in February, 1930; and to have represented Pi Beta Phi at the Greek Conclave held at Ohio We sleyan in December, 1930.
Because of the very unusual ability and efficiency of our Grand President I am afraid that I have been able to
contribute very little of any kind of assistance , but my contact with her has been a real pleasure and a wonderful experience and inspiration May I tak e this occasi o n to thank the fraternity for the opportunity of serving it. even in so s light a degree, and Grand Council for their kindness and

T HE year as Alpha Province President has been so intere sting to me th at I find it difficult to select from the many accomplishments and problems of the provin ce the exact details for comment. It has been my aim to carryon the policies so well outlined by Beatrice Ecks whose ill health forced her re s ignation last fall.
The chapters have given me splendid cooperati o n Their fri e ndly and informative letters have been a constant s ource of help and delight. Illness in my family prevented my vi s iting Ontar io A. All other chapters were visited , however.
Regretfully it is recorded that the year 1930-31 has given Alpha Province no fir st pl a ces in scholarship. Ontario A alone is placed in the upper third group It is true that the lows have not been so far from the highs on their individu al campu ses but the scholarship rating of the province is below its former standard . Genuine effort has been expended upon this problem. The National Committee on Scholarship has been most generous in its aid. The active committees have worked with the adviso ry boards and in some instances with the deans of women. There have been brill iant individual successes, a goodly share of Phi Beta Kappas, Omicron Nus, Phi Kappa Phis, and rather spectacular fellowship and scho larship awards. There has been a real attempt to stimulate interest in learning for its own sake and to encourage pride in achievement. I believe that when the

second term reports are received, they will show a decided improvement and that we may look forward to increased enthusiasm and accompli s hment.
There has been good representation in extracurricular activities. The honors have been gratifying. Two student go\'ernment presidencies, one Y.W.e.A. presidency, and several offices in athletic organization s , dramatics, literary societies and on publications have been held. Emphasis has been placed upon the training of the individual girl and in interesting the freshmen in the work for which their natural abilities make them most suited. The chapters are a .... uming their share of the responsibility in carrying out the campus program and the participation has been intelligent.
Rushing , with three possible exceptions, was highly successful. There has been a tendency on the part of the fraternities to reduce the rushing pe r iod and to 'simplify the entertaining. Preferential bidding is used by alI chapters but Vermont B which, with Maine A, rushes at the beginning of the second tenn.
Pan hellenic rel ati ons are generally cordial. Th e plea fo r recognition of fraternities by the University of Toronto has tended to strengt hen the PanhelIenic situation there. The conditions at Syracuse are improving with the help o f the interfraternity conference which is really an alumnz advisory board. It is recommended that all chapters in Alpha Province assume a more aggressive policy in their local
Panhellenics. Few ru shing systems are satisfactory and it is only through education and hard work that they are improved. I s hould like to have Pi Beta Phi assume leader sh ip here and with the aid of th e ir alumnre revise the outmoded ru s hing rules and make their local Panhellenic s so mething more than legislators of ru shing
The housing of the chapters i s taken care of in a variety of ways. New York A, r, and A have their own homes, all of which ha"ve been renovated and redecorated this year. Massachusetts A with its s mall group had no house this year but will have an apartment next year. Ontario A and Vermont A also have apartments, and Maine ha s its own log cabin in which it holds chapter meetings and entertains. V ermon t B is cheerfully abandoning its apartment and is building a hou se . The plans for th is a re fascinating. It is expected that it will be ready for occupancy in the fall. There will be room for sixteen girls and a matron. All prai se goes to the faithful atumnre and the mothers' club who have made this possible .
It is impossible to over-estimate the value of good alumn::e advisory

S INCE last Convention it has been my plea sure to visit all the chapters of Beta Province twice. Weekly correspondence supp lem ented by monthly reports from the chapter presidents kept me in clo se touch with the chapters la st year and the fir st semester of this year. In January of this year the method was changed to one of monthly reports from all officers and chairmen of standing committees. The latte r method has proven more satisfactory.

boards. When the resident alumna! know the actives, when the actives make them their friends and confidantes, when a true sp irit of comrade s hip prevails, then we may fairly expect a thriving chapter.
The size of the chapters has decreased, I believe, and this is an encouraging development. A smaller group is apt to be a more harmonious one a nd one with a unified program.
This year in office has been even tful. I am indeed grateful for the opportunity which ha s enabled me to know undergraduate Ii fe once more. We have worked together, the actives, the advisory boards, and I, for what we consider the best development of each girl and for the strengthening of chapter character. We hope our e fforts will contribute to the prestige of the national fraternity.
It would have been impossible for me to carryon without the wise counsel and kindly sympathy of Mis s Onken. Beatrice Ecks has been my staunch aid. My sincere appreciation is extended to them and to the actives and alumnc:e who hav e given me such kind assistance.

ginia A ranked fir st on their campuses. The first semester of this year Ohio A. Pennsylvania r, and We st Virginia A ranked first Ohio B has the quarter system and they hold first place also. The remaining chapters are striving to join the groups that hold fi rst place.
With but one exception, the con ferences with the deans of women were most sat isfacto ry.
Advisory hoards have functioned very well. There ha s been a splendid feeling of cooperation between the advisory committees and the chapters. Too much cannot be said in apprecia-
tion of the time and interest given by these aJumnz throughout the province.
Only three of the chapters in the province live in houses: Ohio A, Ohio B, and Virginia A, and each has been fortunate in their choice of chaperon. Pennsyl vania B has a suite in Hunt Hall while Pennsylvania A has her lovely lodge . The other chapters have attractive room s which fill their needs.
In all cases the financial status is satisfactory. Contributions to the Settl ement School and the Loan Fund have been made by each chapter
Each chapter has had its share of important offices in college and class organizations. It would be impossible to enumerate aU the honors that have come t o each chapter but I would like to mention a few. W es t Virginia A claims the presidency of Mortar Board for the past two years besides five Phi Beta Kappa s and the junior prom queen this year. Pennsylvania A claim s May queen and is represented in Mortar Board and cla ss office s .

almost all plays of the year. They also had tbe presidency of the two halls. Penn sy lvania r claims the president of Y.W.e.A., president of W.S.G.A., and the editor of the Dickinsonian. Ohio A has the vice-president of Y.\V.C.A. and a representative in Phoenix (se ni o r honorary), and president of Delta Phi Delta. Ohio B has three members in Mortar Board and two in Chimes besides thei r share of cla ss officers . Ohio a claims the women's editor of the yearbook and assistant editor of Tile Owl ( magazine ), and they won the first annual Panhellenic Stunt Trophy
Having official responsibility in the province has deepened my appreciation and love of Pi Beta Phi and has b r ought me real happine ss besides a wealth of fraternity friendships. It is impossible for me to tell how much I appreciate the loyalty and cooperation of my chapters. The cour te sies extended to me during my visits will not be forgotten. I s hould like to extend to the chapters, the adv isory committees, and Miss Onken my deepest thanks for their assistance and to thank my fraternity for the priv ilege a nd honor of serving P i Beta P hi .

Province chapters have bee n the most delightful visits. All of th e m were made before March, in orde r to achieve that pe r so na l contact that increases th e worth of an offic er's and actives' rel at io n s h ip. I can truthfulIy say that c harm and grace and real friendliness are almost equally distributed among my eight chapters. They made me love them very much I Conventi o n's being held in Asbury Park thi s June is a great and welcome aid to u s of the East who have had to att en d heretofore in deplo rably s m a Il groups. This year I am hoping
Gamma Province will quite swamp the Berkeley-Carteret. The majority of members in all the chapters are planning to descend in several fell swoops, and they do not begin to realize what that will mean in the way of gr<?wth for next year. I see such splendid effects in Gamma from past Convention experiences, re s ults that are accomplished somehow quite subtly and without the awareness of those bringing about the results, that I count every moment spent in inspiring arrow-wearers with enthusiasm for their Convention moments of rare accomplishment. And 1 think many of this province will be present, to feed on the broadening experience of wide and varied new fri end s hips, and to drink great swallows of national viewpoint I
The past year has been one of added growth for the individual chapters in Gamma, without, I think, a single exception. Each chapter seems to want to make of itself something better, and that mu st be the beginning for every improvement. In every group this year, we have tried to stress some phase of " keeping faith with Pi Beta Phi." This can be done only when a chapter improves itself locally as much as possible in order to become a strong part of the w hole fraternity that is the sum total of the individual strengths and weaknesses in chapter groups.
S c holar s hip is a phase of fraternity contribution that could not be slighted in this year's emphasis of important things. Three chapters, Virginia A, Virginia r, and North Carolina A, rank fir st on their campuses in scholarship. This is the third consecutive time for Virginia r, which gives it " for k eeps" the scholarship cup presented by local Pan hellenic. Maryland A has raised its place from sixth to fourth, a nd is more eager than ever to keep up its good work in this regard.

North Carolina A and Florida r have a home of their own, and Florida B is almo s t the proud po ssessor of a very imposing dwelling that is admirably s uited to the needs of a fraternity group.
Alumnre adv isory committees of the chapters vary, unfortunately, in their interest. Some groups are happy in having interested, enthus ia st ic committees th a t want to h e lp the ch apters go forward. Others lack any motivating interest and carry out only the absolute minimum r eq uirements of the national fraternity. If alumnz groups could only realize what a dif· feren ce their s upport makes to an ac· tive ch ap ter, I believe their desire to offer their material and fraternal aid would be so great that nothing could stop them from doing so, to the chapter's great advancement.
A special feature of Gamma Province endeav.)r has again been the Ar· rowelle, a province magazine with news bits and editorial comments, col· ored by intere st ing snapshots and original artistic and literary creations. Thi s has helped bring about a feeling of province unity th a t means a broader and more intelligent outlook on fraternity in its full es t s ignificance.
This same province spiri t was expres sed in the various Founders' Day celebration s. It was not enough this year for one chapter to make merry alone; and although some of the plans "gang a-gley," the feeling that inspired the forming of them was still there. Florida A and Florida r met for a delightful luncheon, with swim ming and other beach activities following. Virginia r invited members from Vir· ginia A in particular and all near-by Pi Phi chapters in general to be her guests at a banquet. Maryland A and
Columbia A made plans for a joining of forces across a banquet table.. This desire toward widening our bonds of friendship is s urely an expression of true fraternalism.
A review of the year' s work shows Pi Phis prominent in the line of activities. Maryland A has three "alsorans" for Phi Beta Kappa, and president of the dramatic club; Columbia A has the founder of a foreign service fraternity at George Washington; Virginia A and Florida B have three May queen attendants j president of Mortar Board and two Phi Kappa Phis are outstanding for Virginia r; the prettiest and most popular co-cds are claimed by North Carolina A; Florida A has the distinction of its past chapter president ' s becoming president of women's student government for next year; Florida B claims editor in chief of the annual; Florida r has two members of Rollins Key Society, the equivalent to Phi Beta Kappa on their campus.

T HE duties of province president assume a new significance once you have accept ed the responsibility of the office. The hon or becomes an obligation to our fraternity with a responsibility for its internal development . If the chapters have grown in wisdom as much a s their province president, then this year has been a period of success and achievement for the province.
The variety of contacts in this pray· ince prove most interesting since it includes chapters from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Even though characteristically different, in every chapter I have found the same general desire to uphold Pi Phi ideals and policies. In their own way the girls have been charming hostesses and on many campuses Pi Phi has an
But these definite results of effort are only a part of the whole that is Gamma Province's offering to Pi Beta Phi. There is the intangible gain that comes from one more year of loyalty and devotion to the ideal tbat is our fraternity. I cannot speak too highly of Mrs. Brown and the splendid impetus she gave on her visits to inc reased fraternity activity. The girls in the chapters of Gamma Province felt her visits were inspirational by the mere contact with her personality. And, similarly, I have been encouraged and s trengthened in my work by contact with Miss Onken ; by the realization th at she was never too busy, never reluctant , to give all of her own dear sel[ to aid me in any way.
And to my sisters in Gamma Province I add a word of sincere appreciation and love; for duri ng this year they have helped give to me one of the richest experiences of my life.

enviable reputation for ho sp itality and friendliness.
Besides the visits which I have made to each chapter I have had monthly r epo rts from chap ter officers and committees, with many other letters as occasion demands. These cootacts by means of the printed word proved to be not only interesting but alluring as well. As the fifteenth of each month came and with it the Pi Phi volumes, I experienced a new thrill from the sharing of the achievements of the month just passed, and the plans for the future.
Pi Beta Phi in Michigan has set a record which should be envied by other states where there is more than one chapter of Pi Phi. Both Michigan A and B lead their campuses in scholarship. The other chapters in nelta
Province-seven in number-represen t ju st as many different scales of e ndeavor . There is a real earnestness among the chapters in th e middle and lowe r ranks to improv e. We h ope to report very soon that every chapter in this province is in the u pper third on its respective campus. There a r e many individuals who h ave won honor s in scho larship such as the highest g r ades in the freshman class and sophomore class, Phi Beta Kappas and other distin c tion s as a r eward for high sc hola stic ach ievements. We are proud of these girls. '
In this province Pi Beta Phi is easily the leader in extrac urricular activi. ties o n every campus but two. All of the groups a r e well rounded with representation in dramatics, journalism. debating, athletics, Y.W.C.A.'s as well as executive positions of va ri ous type s. W e have h ad prom qu eens, the mo st popular g irl on campus chosen by the whole student body, the m os t popular freshman, and many other indications of the popular ity of Pi Phi s in the soc ia l l ife of the various campuses
If there was a syse m of awards for the one who most to the development of individual chapters I be li eve it would be made to the advisory committee or to so m e member of it . Th e valuable assistance of this group merit s r ecognit ion and is one of the most import a nt facto r s in th e plan for chapter supervision. The moth ers' clubs in Delta Province a re l oya l and e nthu siastic and give li bera lly of their tim e and money to the chapters in which they are int erested. In addition, the clubs support the active chapters in e\' ery possib le way and there is mutual reward from this contact. This year actives and alumniE have enjoyed Founders' Day programs together as well as rushing parties, Settlement School programs, and other festivities as cooky-shines lunch eons, dinners, etc.

In no instance is the chaperon in any of our chapter houses a Pi Phi and yet each one of them is interested a nd e nthu sias ti c for the succe ss of the chapter . In most chapters the girls turn to th e chaperon for counsel and guidance of a personal natur e. When youth expresses suc h confidence in them the po si tion of chapter chaperon becomes very valuable in the life of the group.
We have no particular financial worries in our family, In many cases we might improve ou r budgets cons idering value received for money spe nt . In time we will be able to ov ercome our que stio nabl e trad itions in regard t o the expenditures of money. All of the chapt e rs with large budgets aTe supervi se d by finan ce committees with books audited by public accountants. The other chapters are s up ervised by the advisory boards and conditions are sa tisfactory.
It i s mo s t gratifying to have the dean of women praise Pi Beta Phi. On one campus the dean to ld me that i f a ll the women's fr ate rnitie s on that particular camp u s maintained a s high standard s a s Pi Beta Phi her duties would be lightened considerable. Unfortunately some oth e r deans have to worry a bit about U5--()ur scholarship especially-but everywhere Pi Phi has been credited with splendid cooperation with the college authorities.
Every chapter in this province has some achievement s of which it can boast and every chapter has a plan for future accomplishments. Success will come in the same measure as each individual active realizes her responsibility a nd gives her loya l support. We h ave cont ributed more generally to the Undergraduate Loan Fund than ever before. We have supported the Settlement School as generou sl y as in the past, I believe, but we will not be satisfied with our past records.
To the chapt ers in Delta Province I want t o express my appreciation for
their cooperation, their willingness to consider any suggestion which I have made. and their many courtesies throughout the year. This fine spirit of the active chapters is a chalJenge to
Epsilon Province
I N MY contact with Epsilon Province in its entirety this year I have discove"ed that here Pi Beta Phi has a group of chapters of which s he must be proud. Though they aTC situated in schools whose en Tollment is from five hundred to fi fteen thousa nd and the active membership \ aries from fifteen to forty - five, they are alike in fine choice of material, which indicates their realization of the fact that the secret of fraternity s trength lies in selection. Without exception ru shing seasons have been successf ul. More than that , Epsilon Province has made good use of the Pledge Man al this year and has provided the new members with a strong fraternity background.
Deans of women invariably point to records which show good scholarship, cooperation, ambition, campus honor, high standards, integrity, democracy, social prominence, either si ngly or in combination. Not one chapter but ranks among the upper one-third of fraternities for women on its campus. Each strives to maintain a position which will demand respect for its fraternity.
Schola r ship seems a l ways to be a problem in Epsilon Province. The final records for the year are not yet out. Wisconsin B will undoubtedly win the scholarship cup for the third consecutive year and so be entitled to its permanent possession. With only two exceptions, chapters have been among the upper o ne -th i rd of the groups with which they have competed for at least one se mester. However, i n Eps ilon Province o ur necessity is for consis-

tently good scholarship and a continued place among this group year after year. Until every chapter maintains this place aUf work is incomplete. It is not too much to ask. This I do fee l: that every chapter has been sincere in its effort and will continue so.
We are tremend o usly active as a province. Each has a Ji st of honors of which I know not what to exclude.
Minnesota A had 1 Mortar Board, president of junior women's organization, treasurer of \V.S.G.A., member of all-university council, 1 Phi Beta Kappa, dramatic and socia l honors. North Dakota A this year has 1 Zeta Phi Eta, 1 Quo Vadis (peti tioning Mortar Board), I Nat ional Collegiate Players, 2 Phi Chi Theta, Z charter member s of the new honorary law fraternity. Wisconsin A brings us the presidency of Keystone Counci l, senior representative on the W.S .G.A board, vice-president of Y W.e.A., 1 Mortar Board, and membership on several important university committees. Wisconsin B has a number of members very active in literary and science clu bs, 3 Sigma Alpha I ota, 2 Phi Beta Kappa, and the sop homore exchange stud ent from Beloit who is studyi n g in France. Illinois A has the presidencies of y.W.C.A. and W.A.A., 2 Sigma Tau Delta, 3 Sigma Omicron Mu, 2 Phi Kappa Delta, and dramatic honors. Illinois B-A b rings 4 Mortar Boards, 3 Phi Beta Kappas, the presidency of Whiting Hall, Y.W.C.A., Theta A l pha Phi a nd L.M I. (literary), a Pi Beta Phi on l y woman member of the board of pub-
lication, and 5 out of 6 R.O .T.C. sponsors. A member of lllinois E had, this year, the much coveted honor of being Circus Sally. One member is a Mortar Board, one Phi Beta Kappa, 1 Shi Ai, and 1 the chairman 0 r W.A.A. and Show Board. There were additional honors in athletics. Illinois Z brings us 1 Mortar Board, 2 Phi Beta Kappa, woman's editorial aS 4 sistant of Daily lll ini, member of the university con ce rt and entertainment committee, and several class offices. Illinois H has the editor of the MiUidek, the presidency of the honorary senior women's organizatio n, one of four honorary seniors, and three members prominent in dramatic s. Manitoba A took a great interest in dramatics this year with eig ht active participants . One Lady Stick and the presidency of the athletic council were additional honors. Its seniors gradu ate with honors. I congr at ulate the province on the fact that in no chapter do a few members carry the burden of activities. Participation is well distributed.
The value of alumnz associations becomes more apparent to us each year. The relationship between active chapters and clubs is a happy one, Many in the province enjoyed the inspiration of Founders' Day banquet with the province vice-president, Flor-
Zeta Province
M y APPOINTMENT as president of Zeta Province came as such a complete surprise, I felt very inadequate and unprepared to 611 such a position.
How eve r, my visits with the eight chapter s in the fall and early winter established a fine contact and gave an understanding of the merits, problems, and fraternity vision of each group, as n othing else could. Through monthly letters and reports from the
ence Hunt Webster, as gue st of honor. I have been deeply impressed with the personnel of a1umnz advisory boards, their interest and helpfulness. Active chapters cannot realize too stro ngly that wherever one finds a well-balanced chapter one finds that the assistance of the advisory board, so willingly proffered, has been sought and used.
Epsilon Province has gained the internal strength which my predecessor, Bernadine Sawers, set as its goat. May I, too, set a goal? I see as the one great need of every chapter in the province increased national viewpoint -the realization of the strength and worth of our national organization and of the duty which each chapter has as a part of such a fraternity.
The opportunity to act as Epsilon Province Pre side nt has brought me the great est joy. Equally great is my disappointment in the fact that ill health has prevented the completion of my plans for our work tog ether and mad e impossible my attendance at Convention. I cannot tell you how deeply I regret the necessity for my resignation. My visits to you all this yea r. the friendship. cooperat io n . and ho s pitality which you gave me, will remain a very happy memory.

various chairmen, we have been able to keep informed of their various in· terests and progress
Missouri A has so enjoyed its new home this year, which is beautiful and complete in every detail. The presence of Miss Onken at their housewarming in October seemed an adequate reward to both the active and alumnre groups. Plans are bdng discussed for a PanheUenic Building at Drury and the girl. of Missouri r
are thrilled over the prospect of an arrangement similar to that enjoyed by Missouri B in their fine Woman's Buildinl[. South Dakota A is making plans for a more adequate house and hope to realize their dream in a not too distant future. The other chapters are maintaining their pre sent homes or chapter rooms.
The chaperons of the chapters having homes are women of high ideals and with an appreciation of the standards of Pi Beta Phi, are doing much to realize our dream of a fine college home.
My visits with the deans of women were particularly enjoyable. Their reports concerni ng scholarship and the general cooperation of Pi Beta Phi chapters were gratifying indeed.
While some groups are making greater sch olastic progress than others, we did not feel a static condition anywhere. The final report s of this semester are not yet available but we are proud of the place of Iowa r who for two consecutive quarters has had first place among women's fraternities and second among a ll fraternities on the campus. South Dakota A ranked highest among women's fraternities la st year and hopes to retain the cup again. Missouri r raised its average and, s tanding second. hopes for the cup next year. Iowa Z is to be commended on the forward step she ha s made. Mi ssou ri B stood third the first semes ter, as did Iowa B, while Mi ssouri A and Iowa A, maintaining their standing of last year, are proud of the number doing superior work. The efforts of the active and advisory scholarship chairmen are thus bringing definite results .
The campus honors awarded to Pi Beta Phis of this province have been many; they have their sha r e of queenships, elections to honorary societies, and presidencies of various organizations. While we always have the problem of selection and actual participa-
tion, still we have encouraged greater effort in worth-while organizations, feeling that development a necessary phase of a well-rounded college Jife
We , felt so fortunate to meet the congenial and helpful advisory committees on our visits to the chapters. The close contact of such groups does make for stronger chapter development.
The coming together of active and alumnz groups in celebration of Founders' Day is deeply significant of the bonds and dreams which bind our fraternity and make her proud of her own fine achievement s.
One of our chapters was very proud to pledge a daughter of one of the families who has done so much to make secure our Settlement School. All chapters displayed such genuine interest in the School this year, that we are hoping it will mean added material interest.
So, Zeta Province, representing a variety of schools in size and physical needs, presents problems necessarily different. However, the same need of individual effort in scholarsh ip , activities and the promotion of fine fraternity life is common to every group I do feel there has been splendid progress in most chapters this year and we are hoping a deeper understanding of the scope of our fraternity and a resolution for greater endeavor has been aroused.
I am indeed grateful to Miss Onken fo r this opportunity to serve my fraternity, and for her patience and h elpfulness at all times. The contacts with the active girls and the thrill of being a part of the actual working organizations has been a great inspiration, and I trust the achievements of Zeta Province this year may, in part at lea s t, ju stify the confidence placed in me by our Grand President and members of Grand Council.

Eta Province
T HE two years I have spent working with the s ix chapt e rs in Eta Province wi ll a lways be recorded as gilt-edged pages in my book of memo · ries. They have deepened my appreciation of Pi Phi, brought many interes ting experiences, and a ho st of new frie n ds . I only hop e I have been able to ret u rn a litt l e of the inspi ration for fraternity work and ideals the girls have given me.
In the interim of conventions all chapters in Eta Province have had their fu ll quota of official vi s its. Colorado A, Colorado B, Kan sas B, and Kansas A have had additiona l unofficial visits during their re spec tive ru sh weeks . Colorado A, Co l orado B, Wyoming A, and Nebras k a B were fortunate in having an official visit from Mrs . Teller and were inspired by he r conception of our fraternity ideals Scholarship is still the stumbling block in at least two of my six chapters-Kansas A and Neb r aska B. However, there are fine individua l records in both chapters . Kan sas B now ranks second in scholarship on the Manhattan campus and Colorado A has raised its average from ninth to fifth p l ace. Comparative ratings are not yet avai l ab le at Co l orado Band Wyoming A, although all indications poin t to a first place ranking for both chapters.
Work in extracurricular activities has been splendid; the complete li st of honors is m u ch too long to be enumerated here. Suffice it to say that Kansas A boas ts two Mortar Boards, the new president and secretary of W S.G.A. , one Phi Beta Kappa, two beauty qu eens in the yearbook, a nd a member of Y.W .C.A. capinet. Colorado A leads the province in extracurricular honors: three member s of Hesperia (j unior honor a ry orga nization), A.W .S . treasurer, head of the woman's league loan fund, two mem-
bers of Y.W.CA. cabinet, two Mortar Board members, junior prom queen, a lead in the operetta, two members of senate, one member of the house of representatives, and fro m a gro u p of twe l ve juniors who are privileged to take extra work and graduate cil m laude, three are Pi Phis. Kansas B announces the s e campus honors: two beauty queens, two class officers, first place in the interfraternity sing, the HKansas State Sweetheart" and honorary R.O.T.e colonel. Nebraska B has the president of Y:W.C.A ., one member of Mortar Boa r d, honorary R.O.T.e. colonel, two members of the A W S. board, vicepresident of the dramatic club, and many active in W.A.A. work . For Colorado B one may li s t: junior prom qu ee n, second place in th e ba s ket baH tournament, two clas s officers, two members of Kedros (comparable to Mortar Board), and secretary of the student association . Wyoming A has won these honors: the hockey championship, junior prom queen, a stunt cup at the women's stunt night contest, practica ll y all t h e leads in dramat i c prod u ctions during the year, the leader of the g r and march at the cadet ball, four members of Spur, second in the basketball tournament, three in Iron Skull (sophomore honorary), and one in Phi Kappa Phi.
Wyoming A is firmly ensconced in it s lovely new chapter house-the first to be built in Laramie's Fraternity Park. Colorado B so l d the "bungalow" very profitably and will rent a hou se in University Park and co ntinue to save pennies until a more propitious time to build. Kan sas A, Nebraska B, Colorado A, and Kansas B are all finishing payments on their very luxurious chapter home s. Th e three chaperon problems in the province are now settled-I think to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Deans of women were, in the main, entirely complimentary and felt that Pi Phis were decjdedly a power for good on their respective campuses. In every instance the deans spoke of their reliance upon our chapters and their regard for particular girls.
Chapter executive councils and advisory boards have fun c tioned well and are doing their very necessary bit for chapter welfare. Alumnz and mothers' clubs continue to prove themse lve s a vital force in the constructive deve lopment of their respective chap te rs

D URING the past year I have visited each of my chapters once, Texas B twice , and my own chapter, Texas A, about t e n times.
May I include the conditions as I found them existing on the various campuses? At Oklahoma and Texa s Universities there is a definite building program. Oklahoma is fortunate in having Dr. Bizzell as its president. I have never had a more pleasing experience than my visit to the art school at the University of Oklahoma The Indian art there is quite unique and most interesting, and I am certainly indebted to Mr. Jackson, director of the art school, for his courteousness to me while there The art building and its contents are, indeed, a credit to any university . Texas University brags of Garrison Hall, Biology Building, Waggener Hall, Chemistry Building, gymnasium for both men and women, and a central power plant, all within two year's time. On no campus are there more precious traditions than at Newcomb. In setting, Arkansas University can boast of its beautiful hills and tree. Okla-
years, and in other ways s hown their real interest in our great philanthropic work.
It is impossible to express my appreciation of the loyalty and cooperation of my chapters . The charming personnel of the groups has made their h ospitality altogether perfect and th eir many co urtesie s will never be forgotten_
I want to th an k the Gra.nd Council for the opportunity to serve Pi Beta Phi as Eta Province President and Mi ss Onken and all other officers 0 f the fraternity for their constant help and inspiration.

homa A. & 11 is doing extensive campus enlarging and is proud of its new stadium. At Oklahoma B Elizabeth McGarr played a most important part as one of th e directors of the stadium drive and her team won the laurels for raising the la rge st subsc ription to the stadium. Southern Methodist University maintains its progressive movement for advancement of education and dev elopment of young manhood. Before going into the chapters themselves I am going to tell of their living condition s No prouder group ever moved into a lovelier chapter house than Arkansas A. After having lived in miserable quarters for the pa st few years, it is n o wonder that they welcome this change, enthusiastically. Texas B for the first time possesses a chapter apartment. This has already brought forth happy results_ Louisiana A also has an apartment, and once a week they enjoy being there together for lunch. Oklahoma A's home Ii fe is ideal, but they feel, and rightly so, that they are crowded. They are planning for a new house, immediately. Texas A is in need of
an addition in order to give adequate room for all the girls who wish to stay in the chapter house.
Arkansas A and Oklahoma B will retain their chaperons for the coming year. Oklahoma A was unfortunate in losing theirs by death. Texas A lost theirs by resignation, but was fortunate in securing another promptly.
In my contact with the deans of women, I was deeply gratified. Their criticisms and suggestions were helpful. Their praise of OUT groups was indeed pleasing.
The alumnre advisory boards h ave cooperated well. I find that in a town where there is a well-organized alumore club, a chapter naturally functions better.
While scholarship is not so excellent in the province, it is far from bad.
Arkansas A and Oklahoma B stood in the upper third. Texas A has had three Phi Beta Kappas and Oklahoma A one since last Convention . Although some of the groups are shown to be in the second third, there is such a small difference in points between them and the head of th e list that it seems a shame to penalize them for being in the middle third. Too much praise cannot be given to Oklahoma A for its contact with its alurnn<e.
No greater inspiration could have come to Theta Province than the conference held in Galveston last June. Besides the discussions, which were fruitful in their results, there were swimming. beach suppers, shore dinners, boat rides. games, and lastly. the crowning achievement-the banquet. There were eighty-four reservations, with Dora Foster, Missouri A. as the toastmistress, who was, to all present, the best toastmistress that ever presided at such an occasion. Everyone present was inspi red by her.
I am proud of the extracurricular activities which I have stressed in
The September ARROW
each chapter. I have urged them not to lo we r their scholarship, however, in carrying out this program. Arkansas A has seventy-eight girls participating in nineteen organizations, and has obtained eleven offices. They have received eleven honors such as Mortar Board, queens, etc. Louisiana A is proud of the fact that one hundred and eleven girls are functioning in twenty-eight organizations from which they secured thirty-eight offices. Of honors as mentioned above, they have ten. Oklahoma A has one hundred and four girls participating in thirty ganizations, holding seventeen offices, ha ving twelve honors. Oklahoma B has forty girls taking part in teen clubs. They have not listed the offices they hold , however, they were quite successful in securing such.
T exas At who, two years ago knew nothing about extracurricular activities, now boasts of one hundred seven girls actively interested in twenty-six organizations. holding thirteen offices in these. They possess, this year, one Phi Beta Kappa and twelve other honors. Texas B has eighty-seven girls taking part in twenty-three organizations and nine have re ce ived honors.
I cannot close without voicing praise for the girls. Their studies k eep them more than busy and, naturally, they mu st have fun, besides having a full program for outside activities. Yet, I might say that they are nev er too tired to grant any request that I make. They receive my criticisms with a fine spirit, and my suggestions with appreciation. I welcome the modern girl with her keen perceptive power. Freely, I confess they have given me more than I have given them.
In conclusion, I am sincerely appreciative to Grand Council for the honor of serving Pi Beta Phi so pily. NITA H. STARK
Iota Province
T HIS third year as an officer of Iota Province has meant not only added responsibilities but also added joys. I made my chapter visits early in the fall and so was able to meet all of the new pledges and renew friendships with active members before the school year had progressed very far. I feel this is quite an advantage, for you then know the girls to whom you are writing throughout the coming year, and there is, consequently, a much more personal relationship.
Since I am now living in Seattle, I did not make my official visit to Washington A until this spring. This was perhaps due to the fact that the chapter being so near , I felt I could run up any time, and, for that rea son, put it off until the last. I have kept in very close touch with Wa shington A, however, and feel that I know every girl in the chapter very well. I only wish it were possible to be near all of my chapters, for I have enjoyed working with the girls so much, and have found them, on the whole, mo st cooperative and responsive.
DeWolf also visited my chapters this spring, and her visit was the source of much inspiration and help. The only regret was that her trip was, of necessity, very short.
All of my chapters have been very fortunate this year in having splendid chaperons. I am sorry that Washington B is to lose Mrs. Bloss, as she has been with this chapter for many years, and is greatly beloved by all of the girls and alumna! with whom she has come in contact. There wilt be no other changes in chaperone; Mrs. Weaver, an Illinois Z Pi Phi who has been chaperon at Montana A this year, has been of inestimable value to this chapter.
There have been a great many honors coming to members of my six
C'hapters, but I will just mention a few, so that you will know they have been wen represented. We have had three presidents of Mortar Board, one Phi Beta Kappa, fiv e members of Phi Kappa Phi, two secretaries of Associated Student Associations, one president of W .A.A., and one pre sident of Associated Women Students . There have been various departmental honors and committee chairmanships.
I found an unu sually fine group of freshmen in all of my chapters this year, and I had se veral deans of women tell me that they felt the freshmen on their campuses this year were the finest group for many years. I do not know to what to attribute this, but it is most gratifying, for it may mean the beginning of an increase in the number of women students coming to college with a more serious attitude toward their college work. Perhaps the economic condition may have had something to do with the situation.
In all but one of the chapters there has been an improvement in scholarsh ip, one chapter being just fourtenths of a point from first place fall semester. They are hoping to ga in the coveted first place this spring. Much time and thought has been devoted to ways and means of getting the most out of study table methods-one method working in one chapter and proving valueless in another. However, on the whole, pledge grades have been splendid throughout the province, and this is a very good indication of close chapter supervision.
With the exception of one alumna! advisory board, I have had perfect cooperation this year, and this cooperati on ha s been equal1y fine with the chapters concerned. I am more convinced every year that a strong advisory board and a stro ng chapter go hand in hand, and if this is true, each has a very decided responsibility to-
ward the other Members on advisory boards must give of their time and strength unselfishly. if they hope to accomplish what they s hould, for it is anything but a position of glory
A province house party was tried last summer for the fi r 5t time, with Washington A as hoste ss chapter. There were about forty girls attending, and a fin e program was worked out. I really feel that aside from the friendships made and renewed, there was actual value gained from the round table discu ss ions and the exchange of ideas from one chapter to another. This was really an experiment, but I am hopin g it may become an institution, in order that the members a f the various chapters in this province may get to know one another better and may profit by an exchange and interchange of ideas and methods used.
All but one chapter have made contributions to the Settlement School, and four to the Loan Fund. I wish I could report a 100 per cent contribution to the Endowment Fund, but I am hoping that with the added inspiration of Convention every chapter will

I am looking forward to our Convention this June with a great deal of anticipation, knowing how much it means to active chapter members and to officers as well, and it is with keen regret that I leave my office of province president of Iota Province, for I have enjoyed th e work so much, and treasured friendship s I have made, both in the active and alumna! members hip of the fraternity.
I want to thank the members of Grand Council who have given me so much coun se l and advice throughout the three years of my work, and my d ee pest gratitude to Mi ss Onken for her untiring efforts in behalf of my province . I also want to tell the active members of my province how much I have enjoyed working with them, and how much I hope they will continue to aspi re to greater achievements than in the past. It has been a privilege to work with the chapters in this province, and also to se rve my fraternity as provin ce president.

various univer s ities in order to measure up to the standards we require. In all chapters there has been a consistent effort towards improvement in grades. Various methods have been used, formal study table, punishment through loss of privileges, rewards given by the chapters themselves, by alumna: advisory boards, and by alumnre clubs. As a result th ere has been a distinct improvement in standing, and I believe that next year will show an even greater ri se. It is un fortunate that seve ral of my chapters have had their grades lowered by having girls leave college in the middle of the year with incomplete grades which have counted
as failures against the chapters. No chapter stood first on its campus, I regret to say, yet all have creditable positions.
The girls are prominent in all lines of college activities and in membership in the honor societies. The list of their activities seems far too long for publication in TUE ARROW. Practically all girls do a great deal towards the general life of their schools, the ohly exceptions I found being in the case of new girls who had not found their places, and girls who had been forced to drop out of active work through illness.
All chapters own their own homes, with the exception of Nevada A, and their new hou se is at last on the way. much to their joy, and will be ready in the fall. All are gracious lovely home s , and I found that the problem of financing them wa s being well taken care of. Living cost s in our hou ses are about the same as in the dormitories, and the girls live very well at moderate expense.
I was greatly impressed with necessity for care in the selection of our housemothers. They are so vitally important in the life of their chapters. This province has been fortunate in the type of women who are living with our girls. The duties required of them vary from mere chaperonage to complete charge of the houses, and the salary paid varies accordingly. I believe they should be Pi Phis if possible, though some of our best housemothers are not Pi Phis. One dean of women told me that she believed that they should have specia l training for their work, should regard it as a caTeer to which they devote their live s but in that case we should have to pay much larger salari es, and that does not seem to be possible as yet.
In every case, I was happy to find that the dean of women had fine things to say of our girls. They spoke of their dependability, their value to their uni-
versities, and in one case, the dean HIt always makes me happy just to think of them. " Not a single case was reported in which the dean of women had been forced to discipline our girls, and the housemothers reported that their observance of rules was good.
In no place did I find our girls in trouble through violation of local Panhellenic rules , and I almost marveled at this, when I saw the number and variety of the rules they are called on to obey. My impression was that the local Panhellenics are too much l oaded down with rule s, so me of which seem to defeat the very object of ru s hing, which is after all intended to bring about the fullest possible acquaintance between new girls and old! I was proud 0 f the spi rit the chapters showed towards their observance -a result, I believe, of Miss Onken's attitude towards all problems affecting the national honor of Pi Beta Phi.
I felt that the advisory boards are working wonderfully well with the chapters. We cannot be too grateful for the loyal and devoted service given to the chapters by these groups of alumnre. We owe a debt of gratitude, too, to the mothers' clubs, which are functioning actively throughout the province, and doing many practical things which help the comfort and the happiness of our girls. The alumme clubs, with one exception, give fine support in their cities to the chapters, and I tried everywhere to impress on the girls the necessity for doing everything possible to keep up that interest, such as making sure that alumnre are always welcomed at the houses. and that they are urged to come to initialion and to pledging.
There is evident a healthy interest in the Settlement School, and I felt that it was unfortunate that I had not more first-hand informa tion to give to the chapters. I found the chapters all interested in the life of other chap-
teTs, and I hope that another year may see some form of a province bulletin of information, and also that there may be more visiting back and forth among the chapters. The last Convention at the Huntington was a wonderful experience for these chapters, and in consequence their national viewpoint has shown great improvement over the unsatisfactory conditions previously reported.
I want to express to my chapters my
deep appreciation for all the cordial assistances and support they have given me this year, and for their unfailing courtesy and friendship . It has been a great joy to know the girts and to work with them, and I wish to thank Miss Onken and the Grand Council for the opportunity they have given me of repaying in a small way the great debt which lowe to Pi Beta Phi.

Reports of Province Vice-Presidents
Assistant to the Grand Vice-President
A s THE Alumnae Department of OUT organization becomes more and more an integr al part of the fraternity, the duties of the various officers of that department increa se cor respondingly. The office of the Assista nt to the Grand Vice-Pre s ident is no exception.
One of the chief duties of the Ass istant to the Grand Vice-Presiden t has been the work in the organization of new Alumnre Clubs. It has been gratifying to see the sincere and untiring efforts of OUT Province VicePresidents bring as a reward, the formation of new clubs. In some instances, the club came as a natural outcome of the installation of a new chapter j in most cases, however, more correspondence was necessary and the Assistant to the Grand Vice-President was appealed to. Many personal letters were written by her to those living in the vicinity of the new club. The outcome of our expansion program has been the formation of eight new clubs since last Convention.
In addition to the formation of a club, there has also been its encouragement during the first months. The Assistant to the Grand Vice-President has in each case written the new President, giving suggestions for their programs, checking their supplies, and inviting further correspondence on any problems which might arise. She has much enjoyed these contacts.
Perhaps the first-named duty of the office 0 f the Assistant, that of assisting the Grand Vice-President as she may direct, is most important. In this connection she has written three of the regular monthly l etters to the Prov-
ince Vice-Presidents; she has kept in touch with the Province Vice-Presidents and their work; she has revised the questionnaire for alumnce club annual reports; she has compiled a regular form {or the Convention c hart and the annual tabulated repo rt of the Province Vice-Pre s ident; she has sent the Province reports of the Magazine Agency as they have been received, to the Prov ince Vice-Presidents and has arranged the alumnre: club exhibit for the 1931 Convention.
For Grand Council, two things have been done: two chapters were visited; a table 0 f s tatistics for the past four years was compiled . This showed the number in each club who had paid dues and the total amount of the Settlement School contribution for each club. This was done for the purpo se of discovering the results of Province Vice-Presidents' vi s its and the increase in donations to the Settlement School a fter the Province VicePresidents had had the inspiration of their trips to the Settlement School in the fall of 1929.
Two circular letters were written: one to the seniors of 1929, alumnz, who, this year for the first time were finding the payment of alumnre. dues optional; the other to isolated alumnce who had not affiliated with a club or who had failed to pay their national dues. The sending 0 f these two letters has been temporarily deferred because of the expenditure in a trying financial year.
Though this has been a trying year from coast to coast, it is more than evident that alumnre: continue their interest in the activities of our frater-
nity. The Province Vice-Presidents have given much of inspiration on their vi s its to their clubs. The annual report of each club testifies to the help received from the Province ViccPresident. While some clubs have not been able to contribute as much as formerly, others have equalled or exceeded their budget and the national organization hopes for a proper balance between the two. Meanwhile the club s are better organized for great e r accomplishment when a change

A CCORDING to a Panhellenic sister the northern sect ion of the United States, especially New England, is not "fraternity con s cious." In part this is true. Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, becau se of a scattered population and the diffic ult y of easy communication, do not have close ties. In the fir s t two m e ntioned there is not one club; in the last only oneand there are many in those sections. It is hoped that some day some energetic alumna will feel the need of national tie s. Groups in Rhod e I sland , Utica, New York, Ithaca, New York, and Hamilton, Ontario should in the near future affiliate with the national organization.
In 1930 this province, with ten clubs, was fifth from the bottom as regards members; today there is a gain of nearly one hundre d members which shows how strenuously the membership chairmen have worked. In this number are thirty-six enthusiastic alumnce in the newly chartered Southern New Jersey club who are already proving a welcome addition, not only to this province but to the entire fraternity. The clubs vaTy in their number of members from twelve in Western Massachusetts to ninety-five in New York City.

have everywhere done a splendid piece of work, and although the gif ts are smaller than last year, the effort has been as great as before if not greater. Notwith s tanding the fact that the depre s sion has been keenly felt in all the clubs, Connecticut and Rochester have increased their gifts considerably . Bridges, agencies, and subscriptions are the most popular forms 0 [ money getting. The Colliers and Better Hames and Gardens campaigns were not success f ul, as this section is deluged with old and young who are adding to their incomes in this way. The actives outdid the alumnre, Vermont B sending in $65. But the magazine Fund has been increased from $75.90 to $126.40; Boston, Connecticut, and New York have done the best, the last named sending $66.95.
On the questionnaire sent out by the Settlement School committee, Alpha Province, for its size, had the best record for those who answe r ed and those who had access to THE ARROW. Its record for al1 the questions was excellent. It is a pleasure to report that every officer in every club subscribes to THE ARRow.
As in the past, a friendly spirit exists between actives and arumnce. In Burlington for the first time in years the two celebrated Found e rs' Day to-
gether; in Toronto they have worked together to iron out Panhellenic difficulties; in New Jersey, the alumnz are eager to get in touch with actives; in Connecticut they sent a gift to the nearest chapter-Vermont; in Syracuse and Boston the two are enjoying each other. This year the actives have increased their gifts to the School nearly $40.
There are problems and pleasures in the province: Toronto and Burlington are made up entirely of their own chapter so they miss the broader contacts; the two New Jersey clubs each spread over an area of at least fifty miles so that each meeting is held in a different locality and different members attend each gathering; Boston and New York are using the group meetings in between the fou r large meetings-that means that some attended on ly the group meetings; Northern New Jersey ha s an enthusiastic group of business alumna::: who meet in the eycnings; Connecticut has

T HE keystone to support the arch, the Buckeye with its upright "ca ndles " to give liS light, and the coal from West Virginia to " k eep the home fires burning!" Does anyone wonder why the clubs of Beta Province flouri sh?
Although we have not added to our number of clubs, we have added to our club membership and fraternity spirit.
The hard times may have les se ned the number of dollars that we have been able to gather for all of our worthy activities, but having to save and to work with unusual vigor seems to have been the means of promoting a stronger feeling of good fellowship. Considering these "woeful" times, the contributions to the Settlement School fund have been larger than was antici-
grown so that in time there will doubtless be a club in New Haven and one in Hartford; Rochester has happily combined the older and younger members; Syracuse and Buffalo have continued their good work, though little has been heard from them.
.All have sen t in newsy letters of the interest of their members, some of whom are new; the presidents and chairmen have sent out in s pirational messages to their clubs; programs ha ve varied and stimulating. So at the end of two years there is much gratification over the condition of affairs. With the carry-over of enthusiasm of the long- looked-for Eastern Convention, the year to come should be full of good work.

pated. Every club in Beta Province subscribed to the U.G.L.F. and was, 1 believe, the first to make the coveted 100 per cent. The generosity of the clubs, often brought about by personal sa crifice on the part of the club members , is in itself highly commendable. The files of this province are fairly bursting with letters from enthusiastic workers.
The Cleveland, Ohio, Alumn., C lu b had the largest number of membe r s this year, but perhaps not the largest in proportion to the number of resident Pi Phis. As usual a great effort has been made by all of the clubs to interest all resident Pi Phis to the extent of paying at least the national dues of one dollar . It still remains either a mystery of a secret how anyone owing national dues, to say nothing of both
national and local dues, can look at her precious, golden arrow and not feel con scie nce- stricken to the extent of ru shing to the neare s t mailbox and posting a dollar to the proper officer.
Spe a king of officers it is surprising how many otherw ise well informed per so ns, so metime s officers themsel ye s, send money anywhere but to the proper pl ace . It is not a bad idea to read the manuals for club officers!
This year, the corresponding secretaries almost wit h ou t exceptio n ha ve deserved their titles. Even the shortest lett e r makes a strong tie between a club and a P.V . P. If the corresponding secretary wearies of her duties, it is an excellent idea to have different club mem bers take turns writing. By such variat ions all phases of club lif e are recorded.

Delta Province
T HE clubs in Delta Province, comprising as they do about four hundred members , are almost equally divided into those which are situated in towns where active chapters flourish and tho se which are isolated from chapters. To say that the former are more perfect than the latter is an erroneous statement, for I have found the spirit as fine and the interest as keen in small out-of-the-way groups as they are in clubs situated near large university centers. True enough the interest is not always centered on the same projects of Pi Beta Phi. For instance one dub may be vitally interested jn financing a chapter house, while another far removed from the seats of learning, i5 entirely wrapped up in the Settlement School to such an extent that it does not contribute to any other worthy enterprise with which Pi Phi associates itse1 f. However, I do not consider this a disastrous trait. Rather it is a sign of individualism which when directed properly ultimately will make for better organized clubs. We cannot

:My province has a paid up membership of 293 and has contributed $1,469 to the Settlement School. The active chapters have sent in forty -two senior alumnz m e mberships and have sent $326 to the Settlement School.

standardize our clubs. By that I mean we simply cannot say that a group of ninety-two women shou ld send so much money to this, and so much money to that , and that a small club should contribute to the same projects in proportion to its size. Local conditions playa very important part in the growth and life of any Pi Beta Phi Alumn., Club_
So long as each club has the tional organization at heart; so l ong as there is that desire that spurs us on to greater things; so long as there is that all consuming fire kindled as it is by the sparks of high endeavor; so long as Pi Phis can thrill in sin(!ing together that rollicking Ring, Ching, Ching, and pledge anew their faith to things of Wine and Blue, just so long shall we count our province a success even though we do not have the dollars to show and the perfect chapters to exhibit before our neighbor provinces.
The above statement is made to preface what i s to follow and to s how you that as Delta Province Vice-President I am not ashamed of the fact
that we are far from the top of the ladder a s far as figures and charts arc concerned.
The economic depression, and particularly the failure of banks in Kentucky and Tennes se e , crippled us financially In some cases it has been a difficult matter to hold the clubs together-not for any lack of intere s t or enthusiasm, but merely because every dollar from the pocket of certain Pi Phis meant skimping and saving in so me other direction.
I have vi si ted all the clubs and chapters in the province during the interim of conventions. During April of this year I completed a circle tour by celebrating Founders' Day with the Southern clubs. On every hand I found a marvelous spirit. Some of the enthu s ia s m bubbled over and if possible made me appreciate to an even g r eater extent the privilege of being a Pi Phi . Everywhere clubs are anxious to find out what their sister groups are doing; eve r ywhere they are anx i ous to profit by others' mistakes and benefit by their accomplishments.
The Indiana State Luncheon h e ld in Indianapoli s was the outstanding event of the year, s in ce it brought together some three hund red and seve n Pi Phis from nearly eve ry chapter in the country. It wa s a distinct revelation to me to see so many wom e n from various walks of life pausing to pay tribute to those ga ll ant and far-sighted Founders who built the foundation of our mighty structure of Pi Beta Phi.
Because I have singled out the Indiana club s for especial commendation is rio indication that the Founders' Day program s of the smaller clubs were not equally as inspiring. I gained much from even the tiniest group as I watched the faces of those women around a candle-lighted table , s inging the Loving Cup Song. In vulgar parlance it provided a "thrill that comes once in a lifetime."
I hope that soon we will be having
Province meetings during th e interim of conventions, for in no other way can the clubs gain that splendid spirit of comp et ition-that opportunity for exchange of ideas-that chance t o see what the other clubs h ave done and arc doing.
There is a keen intere st in the Settlement School. Thi s interest is increased when a member has recently visited the School and is able to bring back a vivid mental picture of conditions in Gatlinburg and the Sugarlands. I am sorry that some individual members have expressed the opinion that they considered th e ir first and only duty the active chapter near at hand. This attitude, may I say, is not univer sa l, and may be excused on the grounds that th eir intere st has made them near-sig hted. Certain groups need to be educated to the national viewpoint; ce rtain groups need to realize that ours is a far-reaching organization with the eyes of the fraternity world centered on us to see how we manag e to conduct the greatest philanthropic work so success fully.
It is gratifying to note that practically every chapter raised the amount of its contribution thi s year, and that the total amount se nt in from chapters is nearly one hundred do1lar s over la st year. Of the club s, one of the largest rai sed it s contribution from $372.75 to $473 . Other clubs had slight increases, but several were unable to meet the amount which they had determined to give. The total was materially augmented by the in dividual contribution from Mrs. France s Plym of Signal Point, Niles, :Michigan, of one hundred dollars. When the l ast dollar is counted and the pen ni es a r e sta ck ed in little piles, I believe we will probably be a little above our la st year's total , and this in the face of financial conditions and depression is n ot only encouraging but is truly indicative of the fine spiri t which has prevailed during the se trying times.
hfany of the clubs contributed to the Loan Fund. We hope, too, to be able to lead all other provinces in the matter of magazine subscriptions. One of my clubs has already sent in a larger amount than was contributed by any onc of three entire provinces last year, and with the addition of the amounts turned in by the other groups, we have high hopes of ranking first in this field.
It is with deep regret that I cannot report the organization of a new club. At the beginning of the year the prospects were bright for a new club at Lanc;ing, Michigan, but when the local sorority at Michigan State College was definitely discouraged in its petitioning for a chapter of Pi Phi, the alurnnre in Lansing naturally lo st inte rest and the club was not formed. It is sincerely hoped that the next Delta Province Vice-President will be able to add new clubs to hcr list and particularly to reestablish the Hillsdale club. This group of women, although not functioning as a club, still contributes to the support of Michigan A and is a vital force in the Ii fe of the members. May my succ esso r succeed in bringing this club back into the fold.
I wbh especiall y to commend the chapters and clubs on the promptness with which they have responded to my letters. It has been a real source of inspiration to make friends through correspondence and then to meet these

I wish also to express my deep appreciation and profound gratitude for the way each club and chapter has accepted its visiting officer. Your latchstrings have been on the outside and your doors swung wide as you exhibited that all-embracing, satisfying hospitality for which Pi Phis are famous.
As I look back over the years to the day when r assumed the office of your Province Vice-President, I wonder if it was not a naive combination of love for Pi Phi and general ignorance of the duties which such a pos ition entailed that caused me so con6dently to take up the work which Mrs. Shaffner had so efficiently handled. As I lay down the mimeograph ink can and close the receipt books never again to ponder over who gets the white one and who the pink, I find myself fumbling for my handkerchief. In conclusion I want you to know that I have profited far more than you by the associations connected with the office. Please remember that I have reserved a specia l little inner spot in my heart for eve ry si ngle one of you who ha s made my way a little smoother, and even for those who unintentionally kicked a few pebbles in the road, I have only the tenderest memories.

for more accomplishment, because distance interfered, has divided in two , a Chicago Club North and a Chicago Club South. As a result we shall have twenty-four clubs in Epsilon Province. In size, there is great variat ion, the smallest consisting of nine members, while the largest is ninety -t hree . It would be difficult to say which is the most enthusiastic Many clubs hav e
decreased one or two in membership, a few more, but there has also been as great an increase in other ones. The figure I have for last year's membership was 674 while for this year it is 688.
In the few month s I have worked with the Province, every club but one has been in consta nt communication with me and I have f elt a keen desire on all their parts to do their work to the best of their ability. Enough cannot be said in praise of the efficiency of the officers of the club s , without whose splendid cooperation I should have been able to accomplish nothing.
The same cooperation was given me in visiting the different clubs and the welcome which they gave me was far pa st my expectations. After visiting eighteen of the chartered clubs and meeting the officers of three others, since chartered, I returned with such a pride in Pi Beta Phi that it will take many disappointments to dull it all. I do hope that aU the clubs who were $0 gracious and hospitable to me may realize what a real help. joy, and inspiration they have been and how greatly I appreciate it all.
Seventeen clubs have contributed to the loan fund and all have given to the Settlement School. Some less th a n last year, but considering the business of the year, they have done very well. The Chicago Club, though more or le ss reorganizing, wa s able to increa se their gift over la st year.
After talking to the clubs it seem s to me that the ones which try definitely for a certain amount or goal find it easier to raise mon ey a nd are more successful in doing it with less s tre ss on the financial side, than the ones who do it more o r le ss as they need it. Three of my clubs have a very definite per capita idea for Settlement School donation and find it extremely easy to always mak e that amount. Benefit parties, Christmas cards, and rummage

sales seem to be the standard ways of raising money although many other ways are devised by individual clubs. There ha s been a keen desire on the part of all club s to kn ow what other clubs are doing and their own relative success. The more they know of this the more they seem to feel a part of the provin ce. There is $Il astonishing degree of unity in all clubs, more in the s mall th a n the large ones, but a mazing in all of th em. Also, I was impres sed by their feeling of responsibility toward their a c tive chapters, as ten of my clubs have chapters in the same town. The advis o ry boards are all friendly and fun c tion well. H o wever, there is a certain sequence, the strong ch apte r always has a strong advisory board with a fine club ba ck of it, while if you see a s trong cl u b you will be sure t o find the same kind of chapter, if its spo n sors are.
In celebration of Founders' Day, I spent the day with ten different alumnce clubs a nd enjoyed the experience more than I can say. Four of them were tho se with active chapters and I had the pleasure of seeing them as well. I was a gue s t at the houses of Minnes ota A and North Dako t a A and the se visits afforded me such a fine chance to know the girls, who were extremely courteous and friend ly, It would have been impossible to have carried on the work without the fine help of Mi ss Onken and Mr s.

To them I am most deeply appreciative, and to the fine help of the club officers I want to express my gratitude. Every club officer in Epsilon Province has great plans for n ex t year and I am s ure you will see what a splendid group thi s is by their accomplishments this year and next.

T HE fact that in Z.ta Province the total alumnz membership, the Settlement School contributions and the number of active clubs have remained fairly constant. may It:ad the uniniformed to the belief that the Province has adopted the policy of loisse. taire. However, just the contrary is the fact.
The membership of the Province has shown a slight increase over last year. A total of four hundred eightyfive paid national dues last year, while this year over five hundred have affiliated. The membership is distributed among thirteen active groups, of which Kansas City and St. Louis are by far the largest, rivaling each other with a membership of one hundred eleven and one hundred five, respectively. Two small groups, Chariton, Iowa, and Carrollton, Missouri, have , due to the decline in resident members, relinquished thei r charters. The members of the Chariton Club, notwithstanding, have evidenced their loyalty by contributing $14 to our school and have signified their aUention of affiliating with the Indianola, Iowa. club. Mrs. Cooper of the Carrollton Club writes that they plan to join forces with the Kansas City group. It is regrettable that the loss of these clubs can not be counter-balanced by the addition of at least two new clubs. Waterloo, Mason City, and Ottumwa, Iowa, and St. Joe, Missouri, have the requisite number of Pi Phis to establish a club. It is our sincere hope that the Pi Phis in these cities will organize and become an integral part of our organization. The Joplin, Missouri, Qub, which seemed about to disband, has reorganized and is trying hard to become a r ea l factor in the alumnz department.
Even with the noted increase, membership remains a most vexing problem. The greatest obstacle appears to
be the djfficulty in interesting the unaffiliated Pi Phis in the larger cities and the isolated alumoz. The united efforts of the Club and national officers have failed to stimulate any marked response. It is undoubtedly true that the solution of this problem will rna· teriaJIy strengthen the Province.
The cooperation of the club officers with the Province Vice-President has been very gratifying. Monthly letters from the clubs have been far more regular and responsive than any previous year. Every club has had to change one or more officers during club year and the club has been able to continue with little loss of efficiency. This would indicate that the files have been maintained in a more businesslike way and also that the officers have a better understanding of the alumnz organization.
Loyal members in Zeta Province may be justly proud that the Settlement SchOOl contributions during the past year total more than three thousand dollars. This was accomplished in the face of general economic depression and during a time when practically every report from club presidents commented upon the fact that financial conditions made sales difficult and proceeds smaller. The maintenance of practically the same total contributions under such circumstances, manifests a stimulation of interest and far greater effort from a greater proportion of the club membership. When one considers that sas City and St. Louis each gave a little more than $1,000 and that the r emaining $1,000 was raised in eleven smaller clubs, some of which are very small and do a great deal for their active chapters, it is indeed a commendable achievement.
The ever present problems of avoiding the monotony of the routine meetings, with their necessary discussion
of the ways and means to raise money. and of sustaining interest in club ac · tivities were successfully solved by the St. Louis group by the adoption of a plan of group meetings. The groups, five in number, are: gardening, child study, decoration, travel, and contract bridge. Each group took charge of a meeting and provided the club with a program. One dollar per person was collected for the five meetings and each member was permitted to join as many study groups as she desired.
According to the questionnaire, the preferred means of raising money for our school appeared to be rummage sales. A l so included in the list were sale of Christmas card s, Settlement School products, theater and bridge benefits, and luncheons.
At the Des Moines Flower Show the Des Moines C lub successfully conducted a booth, at which they offered for sale all of the products from the school. The booth was made of rough timber and represented the side-porch of a mountain cabin. The gross re-
Eta Province
T HE clubs in Eta Province have shown progress this year in several ways, but especially in hetping the active chapters and in interest in our Settlement School.
The visits t o the clubs have brought about a closer union of the clubs with the national organization, and for me, a wealth of pleasant personal contacts with the member s. The work is of increasing interest JlS contact with the clubs becomes closer.
Our membership for the year is 427, plus the 51 sen iors whom we hope to welcome into clubs in the fall.
Gifts to the Settlement School
The September ARROW
ceipts from sales for three days exceeded $400 and as a result of the wide interest aroused by the display, the chairman was able to send almost $800 to Miss Al1en during the past year.
It is commendable that the Kansas City Club last year increased its contribution from $500 to $1,000, and this year through strenuous efforts, was able to duplicate the feat. A theater benefit aided them materially.
Most of the clubs reported delightful programs arranged in honor of Founders' Day. Many ingenuous programs were arranged.
In closing I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the officers and members of the alumnce groups in Zeta Province for their fine sp irit and cooperation. It is to be hoped that the interest in the furtherance of the aims of our fraternity will be continued and strengthened during the ensuing year.

tot aled $1,957.60, of which $1,340.40 came from the clubs, $476 from the chapte r s, and $14 1.60 from the magazine fund. This means that Eta Province club members averaged $3 .50 apiece in Settlement School giving. The Wichita Club ranks first in the Province in getting magazine subscriptions, and third nationally. The Colliers' campaign netted us $187.
I wish to thank the officers and members for their interest and cooperation.

T HE past two years as Theta Province Vice-President have been very happy for me and I trust the efforts made on furthering the interests of Pi Phi will have been worth while. The re spon s e from the clubs ha s been more than grati fying and I wish to express sincere appreciation to every club for the assistance given mc. There seents to be a better understanding of the working principles of the national organization and a keen desire on the part of the club officers to comply with all requests sent out. There are 449 paid members and 49 seniors who paid senior farewell dues. This makes a total of 498 in dues. Every club hut one has sent in a donation to the Settlement School and, while the contributions are not quite as large as last year, there is reason for being gratified. The clubs in Arkansa s have supported most generou sly the beauti ful new chapter house at the University of Arkan sas. The amount credited the Magazine Agency from this Province is $74.85. Over $100 has been sent to the Loan Fund and $40 to the Endowment.

I OTA PROVINCE numbers among it s alumna! ten act i ve clubs, with no additions since the last convention, but we are happy to report that the Salem Club has become active this year, after over two years of inactivity. Although some of the cities have not yet organized into permanent clubs, meetings of the resident Pi Phis are held often and Founders' Day is celebrated. Since visits were not made the 6.rst year after convention, all the clubs were visited this fall. All were very much interested in their own local work with the active chapters, and
During the past two years three clubs have ceased to function. They are Ponca City , San Antonio, and Wichita Falls. However, we are glad to report a new club in Waco, Texa s , chartered in January, and a club in Bryan, Texas, who sent in their application for a charter this month. There were visits made to these two clubs during the past year. My biennial club visit was made to all clubs the preceding year. Contact with the clubs has been through monthly letters followed, occa s ionally, by a postscript Membership, the Settlement School with its needs and ways of making money, the national organization, and Convention, have been stressed in these epistles. For the most part the replies from all clubs have been prompt. I am selfishly wishing I could go at the close of my two years of work and thank each club, personally, and its officers and members who have cooperated so splendidly.
Let me again thank Pi Phi for having had the privilege of serving for two years as a Province Vice-President.

also in the work of the fraternity.
To show the increase in interest, membership in the province, i n sp ite of the financial depression, has been increased from three hundred eighteen to three hundred thirty-one. Seattle with a n increase of forty-one, from sixty to one hundred one, won the province prize offe r ed. All clubs co ntributed generously to the Settlement School, Portland leading again with $975. The amount of contributions of the province to the Settlement School was $ 1,577.70, and the commission made by the sale of magazines was $38.55. The active chapters have
shown an added national interest in the school, sending $151.50, besides gi ving $30 to the Loan Fund. This money is raised in many different ways by cooperating with the alumnz in the sale of Settlement School articles, rummage sales, or, as in the case of Washington B, by winning a prize of $25 for the best play submitted in a college contest. Alumnz have shown more interest in the Loan Fund by contributing $50. The total amount of money sent to the Settlement School by actives and alumnre was $1,767.75.

M y VISITS last fall to all of the clubs in this Province started the year 1930·31 most pleasantly. These contacts mean so much to both officer and club, and establish the relations for the year on a personal friendly basis. I feel that many warm friendships have been made, and I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity given me. It is with real regret that 1 feel it best to resign the Vice-Presidency of Kappa Province.
This has been a difficult year for all organizations, and membership in the Province has decreased from 638 to 587 However, the loyalty of our members, and their devotion to our great cause, the Settlement School, is attested to in the increase in money contributed to the School. Last year Kappa Province sent $2,437.33, this year $2,716.49 plus $416 from active chapters-a grand total of $3,132.49.
There has been a sympathetic response to our Loan Fund also. Last year 11 clubs contributed $110, this year 13 gave $128. Kappa Province is proud of this record, 13 ont of her 14 clubs contributing to the Loan Fund.
This year has been the actual start of the chapter house of Nevada A, and the moral and financial support given T
This year has been hard for every club, but a decided progress has been made, particularly in the clo se r contacts made with the active chapters and the increased interest in the national projects. It is to be hoped that this interest will be developed to a greater extent next year.
Again, the Iota Province VicePresident wishes to thank all the national and club officers for their s plendid cooperation this year.

by the Nevada Alumn", Club was the deciding factor in the undertaking of this project.
Relations between active chapters a nd alumnc:e clubs are most grati fying. The Palo Alto Club has made new initiation robes for the chapter, a splendid bit of work. Social contacts between the two groups have made the change from active to alumnc:e membership an easy one. The Santa Monica Club has gone beyond its own sphere and has shown a true spirit of friendliness and helpfulness to an outsider. After careful inve stigation, a mo st worthy and needy high school senior girl was chosen and complete ly outfitted, even to her flowers, for he r graduation exercises . What a happy experience the club has given her I
I feel that the club in Honolulu is to be es pecially commended for its interest and enthusiasm . Is01ated as it is from all other clubs, its enthusiasm comes mainly from within and signifies a real love for Pi Phi.
The three clubs in Northern California, Palo Alto, San Francisco, and Berkeley, have celebrated Founders' Day together for years, and this spring they met in the new International House on the University of California campus. This year the five clubs in
Southern California, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Glendale, Long Beach, and Santa Monica, united and celebrated Founders' Day at the Hotel Huntington. It was like a breath of convention all over again. Mrs. Wright, our last convention initiate, cut the birthday cake. a lovely three-tiered one, with five candles on top for living Founders, sixty-four candles for years around the lower tier, and elaborated with wine roses and blue decorations.
If Phoenix and Tucson could unite next year in celebrating Founders' Day. I'm sure they would profit by the enthusiasm gained from the larger group.
San Diego alumme have felt the inspiration of Mrs. Alford's membership in thei r club.
The cooperation on the part of the actj"es in the matter of sending senior
dues and blanks was indeed splendid. This year has seen the beginning of the bridge groups in Berkeley, and the club has unanimously decided that this is one of the easiest and most pleasant ways 0 f raising money for the School.
Kappa Province has been very happy this year to have included the splendid club at Salt Lake City.
We are disappointed in not being able to announce a new club at Santa Barbara. Many letters have been written to and fro on the subject, but as yet the step has not been taken.
May I take thic; opportunity to express sincere appreciation to my clubs for their hospitality and their coopcration; and to Mrs. Teller and Mrs. Smith for their helpful letters.

III. Scholarship. In order to raisc our achol· arahip (or the second semester of 1929·30, Ohio b. attempted a plan of lifting active pins for unt<:atisfactory point averages. Upon the failure of tbis plan, the idea of social probation was tried as a means of lifting grades, but this acheme, too, seemed ineffective. The spring of 1931, bowever, we bave inau gura ted a system of minimum hours of stud,. The tcbolarsbip committee witb tbe aid of an a!umnar, worked out a plan of hours of study for each member. Tbe number of hours required to study wLl apportioned according to tbe point avera,e' from tbe preceding semester. Eacb girl reports ber bours daily to her class repre!:entative and at the end of the week, tbe committee reports any deficient hours. Tbe penalty for deficient hour. is Itrlct aoc.ial probation for the next week. At the dose of the scmester, a 6ne of two dollars i. put upon any girl receiving a condition, and a five dollar fine for each Hunk This money i. cbeeked and collected by the trea.urer. The active member who rai!.es her point nerage the moat from one semester to the next hu her name placed apon Ohio b.'s 1Cb01ar·

Ill. Scholar-ship. \Ve elect a scholarship chair· man to average active and pledge grades and to report at chapter meetings each mark ing period, and to report aho to ac.holarship chairman of the a 1umnz advisory committee. Girls who aver· age below an 83, or B, arc required to pi edge to study 18 bourl each week or 3 hours each day. Pledges arc under the same ruling, aDd promised girls must make an averale of at least 80 before formal pledging. If a girl faill to make an 80 average for two luccessive months, she Is deprived of ber arrow until a satisfactory average has been attained. Eleven o'clock bed bour for three nig hts eac h week was the requirement for l everal months for all members, and this and the (ear of losing her arrnw has inspired each girl to keep up her grades.
Collele reguil110ns require that a g irl must pass nine hOUri' w o rk a month or go on probation, whicb tondition deprives her o f all social relationl with men The girl in the chapter who makes tbe highes t yearly averag e has her Dame engraved on a loving cup devot ed to that purpose.

We The
elect a lupeTVUor o( pledge study and examination, and also a pledge chairman, who attendl and luper vises all pledge meetings, althouih it is our policy to have the pledge officers conduct as much as possible the ir own programs. Exe utive council appoinU a "big sister" for each p ledge, who works hand in hand with her "little aister," and makes a report to executive coundl each month. Pledgea arc further united to the active chapter by the lame pkdie of abItinence from smoking and drinkinll in accord· ance with Pi Phi Itandards.
The executive council , along with itl ordinary duties, calls before it any active or pledae who hIS been sentenced by the judicial council o( the W.S.G.A. At the discretion o( the council Ibe may receive additional punilhment, but whether she docs or docs not, she is talked to kindly and reminded anew o( h er pledges and duties to the fraternity and her fraternity Ii ters
We have raised money (or the Scttlement S chool, the Loan Fund, and the Pi Beta Phi Endowment Fund by rummage sale. , sub5Criplions to selling candy, and occ"siona! ly through gifts. Our goal was $100 this yUr, and we reached itl \Ve alllO donated to the Red CroS!.
"Happy, Healthy Pi Phis" being a motto of ours makes us devotee s of the health chart on which eacb week we check up our points for keeping hea lth rules (going to bed by ten-thirty, drinking six glasscs of water each day, ealing three meals a day, etc.) and at the end of two weeks the girl with tbe hillhest number o( points is with a tube o( tooth paste by tbe one with the lowest. Along side the health chart is the activities' chart, on which weekly and standing points (or campu.s activities arc checked. A point system has been worked out by the activities chairman, and all memberl (p ledges incl uded) must have SO many weekly and s tanding points, whicb arc cheeked up be(ore each wukly chapter meeling.

III ScliolDr.lllip. We have used various meth· ods for improving our scholarship, Itriving to keep our active aveuKe high as well as t he pled,e avera,e. One incentive for hard work is the sc:holarahip award !liven at the Indiana state lunc heon. A sc:holarship ring i. given to the grad uating senio r maintaining the beSt aver· age throughout her four years here at the col· lege. We keep a chart showing the grades of the actives and pledges, different colored stars representing the different g r ades. The study table in the evening bas been used for the plcdges--and any a-irl whetber active or pledge making a D or below at any time is required to spend twice the number of hours of that course in Ichedul ed study each week. Our alumnae arc very interested in scholarship and give repre· sentative talks to the chapter each month. Pled ges are not allowed dates during the week, nor during elli:am week, and only one out o f the week·end preceding examinations. Fines a re also imposed on those failing courses and be · low certain point averages. No cbap ter average is demanded, but the pledge adverage is C+. No comparative ratings arc given out by the college registrar.
IV. Chapter Work. Pledge meetings are held at the time of the active meetinK, after which court of law is held where all annOuncements concemini' pledges are made, and likewise , giving actives and pledges time to be together and realize common interest. The pledge super· visor instructs tbem in Iheir pledge w o rk and encourages r egular business meetings
The executive council consistl of: president. vice·president, correlpondini' aecretary. trea s· urer , and underclass men representative. Actives and pledges gave a Christmas part y and made up a box of tOYI for the Settlement School, also contributing money to the Settle· ment School Fund. \Ve also contributed to the Loan Fund, and the local good cheer Christmas fund; the pledges gave to the Red Cross at Chri stmas time. Our greatest effort has been to rai se our scholarship up to its former point of a very high average. Th e executive council keeps before it the internal development of the chapte r, and is making plan. for much improve. ment.

VII MoinUntlnc. of Al"mfl« 1,der.sI. The resident alumnae talee a very active interest in tbe chapter. An alumna advisory council meets with the executive council once a month, and give. advice and s uggestions. They have all been interested and helpfUl in bui lding our new bouse:, and the choosing of the fUrni s hings was left entirely to them We always have a large number of alumnae present at initiation, and at the following cooky- shinee. Each year we have a joint banquet on Founders' Day. The alumn:e arc con.ulted about rushing, and they always give one very lovely rus h party each fall. All of our social functions arc chaperoned by alumnae. There bas been but onc unaffiliated transfer on our campus in the las t two years, and she ate all meals at the chapter house and attended all our lOC ial func· tions.

The September ARROW
do her part to bring up the chapter average. Since our c hapter is so large it has been a difficult problem during the last year. Com. pullOry study table is held every nieht during the week for freshmen, with the exc eption of those who have an average of 85. Every girl in the chapter who do cs not h a ve an average of above 80 goes to study table for an hour and a half each afternoon, and those with conditions or failures ah;o attend Saturday mornings Fall quarter no fre s hmen are allowed to have dales before four in the afternoon, and winter and spring quarters fre !:hmen who have not made their initiation average may not have dates before tlve in the afternoon Fres hmen are required to make an average of 7S in order to be initiated fall quarter; 76 is the aver age required for initiation seco nd quarter, and 77 third quarter The sixth week eacb member of the sorority reads her grades in an s wer to roll call. A cup is awarded to the fre !: hman havinr the highest average for the year, and a scholarship ring is g iven to the jun ior who has the highest avera ge in her cla ss throughout her three years. A fine of three doll a rs fo r each con · dition and a fine of five dollars for each failure is imposed, and each tim e a g irl fails to attend afternoon study table she is fined fifty cents We arc hoping this strenuous method may be effective and wi:t bring our scholarship up to first place ali:ain this quarter Among socially competing fraternities, our chapter ranked eighth place, 1929 30, and fifth place , 19 30 31. IV. Chapt.,. WOf'Ir. Our executive council is composed of two seniors. including the presi dent , two juniors. one sophomore.
A pledge supcrviaor is c hosen by vote of the active chapter on the basis of her in sight, tact, and genera] understanding of the problems of pledges. She carries me s sages to the pledges during their meetin g and also carrie s messages concerning p,.ob!erns or complaints of the pledges back to the active chapter meet· ing Each week the pledges learn two prOVo inces of the chapte r r oll and take a quilt o n them for practise. Various members of the ch a p ter and alumnz give them talks on the settle· ment school, activities, ideal s and requirements of Pi Beta Phi. Each freshman is required to have at least two activities. and each girl's Pi Phi mother aids her in choosing campus or,aniutions in wh ich she may be mOlt i nteres ted.
The bealth of our chapter is 100 per cent, and over half of the girls sleep on a lovely sleeping porch even during the coldest months. Our chaperon is known all over the campus fo r serving meals on which the girls thrive ex· ceedingly well.
Each ye.u • is given .t which v a rious articles from the Settlement Scbool are sold, and also articles donated by eacb g irl in the chapter.

be able to win it two morc consecutive: years, it then becoming ours permanently. Colorado B initialed 20 out of 26 pledgcs the first quar· ter, with the highest average on the campus, all the other national women's fraternities on tbe campus requiring only the Panhellenic aver· age. S«ond qUii,rler we initiated the 6 other pledges.
IV. ChapleT Work. The senior pledge · s ponsor divides the specific malerial so that the weekly pledge meeting is preceded by a review of the last week's. An oral questioning is car· ried on at different tillltS. The Illedge c:x:.amina· ti ons this year werc 100 per cent. The pledge manual is followed carefully at all pledge meet· ings. The IJcrsonnel of the execut h 'c council cons ists of the officers and onc representative not thereby represented, in which case sh e is dected by tha.t class. A theater benefit for the Settlement School, and trips through laundries and mortuaries were sllccessfully managed and the sums contributed to the L oan Fund. A sum of $25 was given to the college fund for a memorial t o the late dean of women. Contribu · tions by the girls are given every year for the Community Cbest Fund. Each Thanksgiving and Christmas the chapter prepares baskets for the needy folk of th e community. The health chairman gains yearly reports from the univer· sity physical education department. An attempt is made whereby all the girls live by a somewhat regular routine of sleep and diet. The only chapter publication is a leiter sellt to the alumme annually t e llin g of th e chap t er work, its plans and its members' hOllors. As a roll call response, we t ell of tbe adjustments neces· sary for the previous week's s hortcomings and the future development such steps , if taken, would bring. Other are on tIle various honors won from time to time, the hi story of the fraternity, news from TilE Anow, ideals. etc. Once each 1110nth the chapter holds an open forum, at which time we informally discuss problems which have arisen, and the w ays in which we can make n B <I> a better fraternity on the camp u s. and worthy of the national standing. Each member of the chapter has her individual duty to perform, and thus by working together we hope to have from year to year a much stronger internal development.

VI. Chapter f/O'Use. Colorado B bas sold its uungalow, and is meeting at the homes of vari· ous actives. \V I'; plan to relit a hou se next fall. large enough to h ouse the out·of·town girl s. and hope to build within a few years. We will be the first women' s fraternity on the campus to live in a house. and arc eagerly looking forward to owning one.
VII. Mointeft (m cc of Alumlltr Interest. The alumnz are always welcome to meetings. \Ve want them to attend all Ollr affairs. The chapter is very gratefu l for their wonderful assist. alice in rushing, and especially for the use of their homes, and the beautiful progres sive din· ner which brings the rushing season to a close. Our alumnae advisory board is very helpful, and we are grateful for their interest in our problems. One of our younger alumn;;e keeps in very close touch with the chapter and we feel free at any time to tell h e r of Illatters t o be taken to the alumnae club. Colorado B has no unaffiliated transfer s on the campus. Neither have we any affiliated transfers in tbis period.

IV Chapter Work. Pledges have their own organization with exc<:utive officers and committees. They hold th eir weekly meetings duro ing active meeting. The use of the pledge ritual has been most successful in developing in th e pledge g roup a definite fraternal feeling. The pledge supe rvi50r is e1c<:ted by vote of the chap. ter, and is chosen on the basis of her intight, tact, and general understanding of the problems of pledgehood. She carries message! to the pledges from the active chapter meetings; and in turn she brin gs suggestions to actives from the pledge s including their complaints and problems. The supervisor also conducts a systematic plan of pledge study. A new pra<:tice in pledge meetings hall been in stituted- that of answering roll call with some pertinent fact concerning the fraternity world at lar ge. Becau se of deferred pledging Utah .A does not pledge until the last of th e sc h oo l year. The chapter tradition that each group of pledges earn during the summe r by some group enterprise $50 to be presented to the chapter in the fall fosters a cooperative group spiri t and fraternity iuterest among the pledges at a time when the new pledge needs to become adjusted to the group and when if neglected might become uninteres ted and dissatisfied.
The executive council personnel cons is t s of the president, the treasurer, and three others elected from the not represe nted. The proceeds from the annual br idge tea and fashion sbow and t.he pledges' summer earnings are put in the lene-ral chapter fund from which the chapter makes itll annual Seulement School and Loan Fund contrihution. In the last two yura Utah A has contributed 100 per cen t to th e Community Chest and to the philanthropic work admini ste red by the dean of women. A new pra ctice, tbat of devoting one meeting a month to the acquiring of national viewpoint, hall been instituted in the hope: that Utah A members will entertain a more intdligent and desirable viewpoint of 11 B • as a national organization. Thi s meeting is open to pledges as well as ac· tives.

BUFFALO ALUMNA: CLUB
During the year 19JO·3 1 the Buffalo AlumDZ Club of Pi Beta Phi has had an active membership of twenty.sU: The regular meetings are held the third Saturday of each month. Three or four members are hosteslCS at a one o'clock luncheo n which is followed by the business meeting and later by bridge.
In October, the club sponsored a benefit luncbeon to raise money for the Settlement School. Each member was responsible for filling onc table. The lun cheon was held at the Food Craft Shop and brought in about fifty dollars. Money for the Settlement School is also raised by commission. on Kirby Linen Shop Sales and Lafayette Food Products .ales.
The December meeting is always entirely social, with the husbands a.s guests. The dinner was held at \Veinert 's Tea Room and then the company wenl to Annette Cooke's home for a n evening of bridge.
Founders' Day was celebrated April 2S with a luncheon at the Town Club. Pi Phis from the surrounding lowns were invited. Pi Phi songs were sung and appropriate toasls given.

NEW YORK ALUMN..£ CLUB
Desp ite the trials and worries of instituting an entirely new plan of conducting mec:lings, the New York Alumn2 Club has found the year 1930-3 1 a successful one. The great distances to be traveled by members from suburban districta in order t o attend the regular monthly meetings and otber sim ilar difficulties made it seem advisable to try the plan of series of gTOUp meetings which WDuld alternate with four large meeting s of the entire organization. Acco rdingly , groups were formed to meet in Westchester and Long lsland, with another group which would include members from both Brooklyn and Manhattan_ The Westcheater group has met every two weeks and has a most enthusiastic members hip of approximately twenty-fin. The Long bland group, with a membership of about fifty, baa had four Tery interesting meetings which haTe alternated with
the general meetings. These included an introductory tea, a cooky.s hine, a combined bridge and tea, and a bridge luncheon, and the inc reasing attendance spoke well for tbe succeu of the meetings. The Brooklyn-Manhattan section has had severa l technical divisions an as to make it possible for everyone to be reached, but the meetings have been for tbe entire g roup, and have alternated with the meetings of the general organization. In November a cooky-shine was given, in January a dance and bridge at the Panhellenic, and in March a bridge and tea, also at the P anhellenic There is a paid-up membership of 29 in th is group, but tbere are many who attend the gatherings who have not formally joined.
As the year progressed, it was found that within the large Brooklyn-Manhattan group there were possibilities for two sma ller groups which seemed to drift together naturally, with the result that a small group of gir ls who have been o ut of college fo r three years or less have formed the" Pi Phi Debs" and another group of business girls have a Lunc heon Club, which meets at stated intervals.
Th ese smaller groups have their own dues, determined by each group, and each works under a chairman whO" is a member of the executive committee. A s eacb group seems increasingly enthus ia!>tic about these meetings, the plan should be even more s u ccessful during the next year.
Tbe meetings of the general o r gan izat ion h ave been most interes ting covering various fields of endeavor, and have been supplemented by 50' cial lathering. which were most entertaining. The first meeting of the year, in (ktober, was preceded by a luncheon in tbe ball room of the Panhellc:nic, with a large attendance. At the muting the program for the year was discussed , and tbe group plan decided upon. On Sunday, November 2, the annual tea under the auspices of Pi Deta Phi was held at tbe Panhellenic, with M iss Evelyn Bishop as bOllor guest. M an introduction to our Settlement School work for the year, Mi ss Woodman had arranged that this tea would mark the opening of an exhibition of pastels by Mr. Will H Stevens and water colors by Mr Louis E. J ones, showing the life and scenery of the Great Smokies, near the Settlement School. The handicraft of the School was also on display, and was the source or a great deal of favorable comment. The pictures remained on display for the month of November. The personal efforts of M iss \Voodman carried on the sa le of the handicraft at the Panhellenic 50 successfully that it was necessa ry to repleni.sb the supply at various times. The articles were also displayed at later teas at tlI,e Panbc:lJenic. and at the cluh meetings, SO that the

We kern to be too few to have club. that flourish in the variuua 10 u' oC Coonccticut and have therefore, concentrated on one dub. However, we liubdivide and have small JOCiai gatherina. in Hartford and New Haven and rather concentrate on four or five meeting, durin&' the ytar at which time we have from fifteen to twenty·five in attendance.
We modCltiy feel lbat we have had a very successful club although ·e openly acknowledge our l uccess, for the tROlt part, to be due, no doubt, to the inspiration which we rec.cive from Mabel Scott Brown, Director of the CCDlral Office. \Ve are most fortunate, of course, in this respect for it haa been great fun to hold a1umnz meeting. in a room adjoining the Cen· tral Office and after playing bridge and chatting a while, to say nothing of baving a bu.ineNl meeting, to be able to .tep into the offic.c proper and lee the tbat hold aU of our names aa well as much other De:cessar,. information regardin, each and every Pi Pbi and all of the Other fascinatina things which the office co ntaiDL It ia most interesting to hear MrL Brown explain to UI the voluminous detail which ia carried on in this office, hut bell of all we, as a club, arc very, very ,rateful to ha'fe her a member of our club and to be able to receiye from her much first·hand information re,ardi.n, Pi Phi, Settlement Scbool, and all of our ac.tivitieL
Our fall mcetin&' was a cooky .• hiDe at .hich time we staned makinr plans and railing money for the settlement Ithool and our contribution this palOt year .a, $U8 We IOld Christmaa cards, Settlement Scbool products, Joec:ured map..tine aubKriptions to raise thia
amount along with indIvid ual donations for this fuod.
Early in D ece mbe r we met to pack Cbristmas gifts for the Settlement School and I am 6ure that I express the f eel ing of tb e: ent ire club thai, uide from F ound ers' Day meeting, we derived m ore jO)' and from this meet· ing than any ot her during th e yea r Eac h m ember- came loaded with small gifu, many of whic h they bad be en .avi n a perhaps during the ycar for this ver y special Ilu rpo5C Eac h w as wrapped and marked whether for a boy or girl and tied with Christmas ribbon. Fifteen members had wrapped one hundred and Gift S.
Our sprin g meetings were {o r the most part fill ed with exciting pla n s f o r Convc:mio n I-I owe ve r, we beca me 1>0 enthu se d o ver th e Endowment Fund that we plunged into plans f or ra ising mone y for tbi s worthy causc. Two bene· fit bridges, one at Hartford and one at Ne w Hav en , w e re planned a nd we cleared from this tbe sum of $100. \Ve prese nt ed tbi s at Conven· tion as a tribute to Mabel !ko tt Brown with a r esolution stating tha t we wi s h to be pl aced on record as favorin g the immed iate completion of th e Endowment Fund with the possibility of laun ching anoth er endo wment which wou ld make it possible for the fraternity to be financed in a manner tbat would g iv e more help to the badly over · wor k e d Central Office fo r ce. We worked bard to nise money and whi le it k e pt o ur small cl u b pretty bu s y doi n g so, we a cc ompli sh ed our pu rpose a nd also se nt $5.00 to the loan fund and made a few kitc h en for the new V ermont A chaple r house.
\ Ve w e re qu ite thrilled, of cour se , to h ave Conventio n 10 ne a r us. Eight members of our club attended, at least part of the time . It was a great thrill for us, e spec ially tbose who had not had th e privil ege t o allen d Conven tion be· fore, to see Grand Co uncil in ac tion and tbe memory of the ballfluet i s so nl e thin g wbich we will long c herish.

The dub year informally with a tea at the home of Mrs. Ray Hutings, wbere p lans for the year were di t cussed. Almost every Pi Phi in Atlanta is busy, either at busine sl or active in the social life of the city There are secretaries , tea chers. librarians, and well are workers and for thi s reason we alternate tbe meetings with one afternoon meeting and the next an evening cooky-shine.
One Tuesday of every month several members of the club go out to the Atlanta Child'. Home to se w. The club contributes to the IUp· port of the Home and is very proud of its part in this worthy charity. The club sene $100 to tbe Settlemeul S c bool and raised the money by selling Cbristmas cards under the splendid management of Mrs A s hby Taylor.
At Thanksgiving lime the club sent a f ood bas ket to a worthy family and the December meeting was a Christmas party at which in· expensive gifts were exchanged and then packed off to the Settlement School for their C hristmas.
Again this }·ebruary the members, their hUIbands and friends enjoyed a benefit bridge. Thil is found a very pleasant and profitable way of getting together and helping the treas· ury a' the same time.
Every last Tuesday of the month any Pi Phil who were in town met at Davi!:on Paxona' Res taurant and had lunch together. This proved very enjoyable and the club plans to carry out the idea in 'he future. \V on', some of you join u.I
Founders' Day was fitlingly observed with the annual luncheon held at the Atlanta Athletic Club and the club year came to a succeufu l close.

The Shrev(l'pon Alumnae Dub ml!etl regularly on the third Friday of the month. and i, looked forward to eagerly by every member of the club. There are fifteen members and our little ,ct. togethera are Ireafly enjoyed.
Two very nice thing. have happened within the year. Lalt June when Theta Province held ita conven tion at Galveston, the club bad the pleasure of havin, one of it. very friends initiated. Berenice Prendergast Sedberry had been a member of the local, which later become Virginia A at Randolph.Macon. She did not go b.u. at the time of msullahoQ. consequently was never iDitiated. At the Theta Province con. velltion lhe waa initiated into Pi Beta Phi and beeame a member of Virginia A. There arl! many of her friends who will be deli,hted to know of this, we are sure. and the Shreveport Alumnz Cluh feels deeply grateful to Grand Council for thi s privilege. The club can cer. tainly vou ch fOr her interes t and enthusiasm.
This Founders' Day. nine of the cluh memo bers were gucals of the Pi Phi. in Monroe Louisiana. '
The whole day was most deli,htful and liS tbey have promised to be our guesta ;cxt year tbe members are looking forward to another deli,htful time.

Thank.giving the club added their little "bit" to the Community Welfare A ssocia tion by donat. ing a buket of good things to cal to a family and then futcd toy., dreSM'd a baby doll and made a family of children happy on Christmas morning.
In October of last year the Settlement School bazaar "Va. held and was rather lucccufui. The products were lovely but the financial depression was as real here as everywhere elac, so the club was unable·to .e11 completely out.

The club ha s had a bu s y and happy wintu with too many activities to write of t hem all.
The first event of the year' s ca lendar was a "fashion tea," foll owed by a rummage sale and a bridge benefit.
The other avenues through whi c h the fund in the treasury increased were: sale of Settlement Scbool product!, !.ale of Christmas cards, spices, and Ihampoo.
The two bridge cluhs brought in $191. 6 7 and the comm issions from a dry cleaning establi s h · ment $95.17.

As a result o f an apparently i nc rea sed splnt of enthusiasm on the part o f members, as well as officen, this past year has been a particularly happy one, th o u gh pe rhaps not as succC5sful from a financial Itandpo int as o n e mi g ht wi sh The increased club spiri t wa s s h o wn by the numbers of new memberships, which jumped from 60 to 107. A most s tre nu ous effort has been made all year by t he tre as ure r, memher· ship c hairman, and the presiden t to increase the cluh ro st rum. The resu lts ha ve been most ntis· factory. Perhaps over·empha sis has been put on th is o ne fa ctor at the of all others, but again. n ot.

Perhaps an explanation is in order bere. As an innovatioo for the put two years, 5Cvcn.1 small ,TOUPS hue M:cn or,lniud, amoog different congen ial alumn-= Ind tbHe groups been functioning .. bridee luncheon or sewing clubs, meeting nlUlariy once: a month at memo ber.' bomu. MOlt of the ITOUPI have a nominal charge per member of fifty ccnU each meeting and all of tbem haye tried in various ways to raise at lea5t $50 per groUI). Altogether about $200 was realiud in tili way,
A tbeater party had b«o planned as bringing in the lIIost money this ycar and this was a great disappointment, when only $39 was made including $20 on a candy 1t was just an unfortunate affair, the was a bard· working one and the Pi Phis aJJ more than did their share. But the play, Til., Kflcw 'VAst with Leo Carrillo as guest slar, did not draw nor was 'A'eathn on that par· ticular invitin&' enough to draw the people from tltdr own firesides.
On a hdd in October, $136 was realized. It is tbought that in the future more monel' will be rulited from this than from any The alum liZ club has voted to make the rummage !'laic all annual Pi Phi occurrence, thereby more boxes or rummage from Pi who heretofore have given their &,Ieani"gs dlCwbere.
Perhaps the most pleasantiy suece.!tsful lIIeet· ing of tbe year, as it always proves to be, was the occasion for tbe annual banquet, which was held this year at tbe beautiful \Vashingl OIl Athletic Club. It was called the Singing Ban· quet. For the first time, there were no speeehes. \Vith a ta lented Knior from the active chapter leading and with a well prepared orchestra ac· COml)anying, it is not strange tbat one bundred and fifty voices raised in joyful accord and made th ose Pi Phi lOngs ring out all over t he building, btlnging hearty applause from others dining ill adjoining private rOOIll I. Fol'owing the han{luet a skit was given with members of the active chapter and the alumnz president taking part. This Singing Banquet really proved a huge succe,. and one which will never be forgotten.
Of couue, no alumnz club report would be complete without a word about its Settlement School benefit. The Seattle Club has always held its sale of School products in conjunction with a tea. This year it was held in College Center Tea Room and proved as luccess ful as any held before, in spite of the fact that the meeting place bad to be chanied at the last minute. At this sale and by tbe personal drorts of &ome few hard.workin&, alumnae $276 was realized. It might be wen to mention bere that the $200 raised by different groups aforementioned was divided according to the desires of tbose concerned. A very little went to Settlement School, most went to the building fund for the llCtive ehapter, and about $100 went to help the actives with the current expenses. The $136 from the rummage Ie and $39 from the theater party went into the building fund.
At the May meetin,. eomplimentiJ:l.a tlt.e four graduatiq acniors it was Toted to 10 bade to the old way of !laving rerular Pi Phi meetings on the same date every month, perhaps alter· natinl day and nenin,.

The annual dub picnic took place at the loyd,. home of Mra. Floyd Ellis on Lake Washinaton Boulevard. ThOle few pre!eut had a. mo.t de· li ghtful time. It was jun too bad that Old Man \\'eathe r didn't smile that day, howenr, a good time was more tban enjoyed by the few alttnding.
It just wouldn't do to end a report of the Seattle Club without mentioning the fine in· fluence and cooperation of Harriet Johnstonewhat Seattle Alumnae would do without her, it jUlt wouldn't do to tell. Pi Beta Phi hu never had a more lo),al nor more beloved member and Seattle Alumnz Ind \Vashing ton A Ire marc than proud to claim her u their very own.
Now ytU', work and hID are waiting and every Seattle member is waiting to do her share and all are praying for a bigger and better )'ear.

The Santa Monica Alumn:\!! Club dosed its second yeaf as an organiud unit with a feeling of gratilkation, for the activities havc given them a sense of uscfulness as well as having afforded iu members plcasure » a social group.
In the fall, preceding the first meeting, dele· R;atcs called on every Pi Phi who lived in the district who was not a mcmber of the group. It resulted in the addition of five new members. Two or threc alumnII!', for specific could not affiliate. Through the ),ear notes and club noticcs were sent to alumna:: moving into the territory which will mean still more members for nut year.
A slight c.hange in the type of meeting provcd uti.factory. Formerly the dub met at .l!even o'cJoclc in the evening and had dinner, then tbe m«ting and a game of bridge. This year the dub met at ae"en thirty and bad deJ.!'ert and coffee wbich lessened tbe work for the hoste55es. Two members acted as hostesses at each meet · ing except on special occasion. when the num· be r was increased.
The club continued it. polic.y of having no due. othe r tban the national (ee, instead eacb member paid fifty cents for the meetings which
!ihe attended " ' e have found this an excellent way to increase the treuury.
The club held monthly meetings ioc:ludin, the required .pecial programs. Tbe Province VicePresident, Mrs GU'IIJ'ick, attended the Settlement School meetin, and gave a mOSl enlighten. ing talk about her visit to the School. Settle· m t nt School produc.ts were on display and we twenty-five doUars worth that niaht.
M rs. Ruth Darrett Smith, Aui tant to the Grand VKe Presidenl, O'fer the Con · meetinar. Mrs. Smith met with thc dub Rveral tim es this )' car as did Mrs. Clara llae \Vright , Jlres ident of the Los Anlcles Alumn2: auh.
The Settlement School benefit was held No· "cmber 17 at the Brentwood Country Cluh. It was an evening bridge party which the lo)'al bu.band s attended as far as Nt:igb boring dubs f ent representalive. which resulted ill raisin, $75 for Ihe School.
The dub made a new rule regarding bencfits gil,t n by neighboring clubs, that is, the dub paid balf of the fee of any ticket purcbased by the members. In this way thc dub had repre · sentatives at each benefit and the dub itself helped rach orR;aniution.
The Santa Monica Club sent $10 to the Loan Fund in the fall.
The club united with the Los Angeles, Long Beach, Glendale, and Pasadena Clubs in ob· serving Founders' Day with a banquet at the lfuntinR;ton in Pasadena.
The seniors of California 11 were entcrtained at a May breakfast in the of one of the members. Miss Gail DeWolf, Grand Sccretary, wu ruest of honor on this occasion. The club hall enjoyed its contacts with the active chapter and hopes to grow in uufulneu as it becomes morc establi.hed. Gifts were s ent to tbe c::hapter durin, tbc ycar and the members attended many o( the active meetings.
The nelll'cM work this year wa s 10 select a needy and descrving high I<:hool graduate and furnish her with an entire outfit. including flow. ers, for c::ommencemcnt. This young lady was the gue ! t of the club at its la.t meeting when she had an opportunity of meeting tho!e who had helped to make h"r happy.
So with enough of the older customs to bc a pleasure and some new work to stimulatc them. the Santa Monica Alumnae Club closed a most Jlleuant year.
