"'The Old Order Changeth"
FROM the standpoint of curiosity, jf not from that of psychology, the story of the selection of fraternity membership from 1776 to the present day would certainly offer an Fraternities have gradually come from a period of gltal simplicity and deep secrecy to a time of considerable complexity, marked competItive pressure, and ambiguous sis. As times have changed so have our "Sf5· terns" but there still remains unaltered the ideal that should motivate all-that fraternity membersbip be chosen on the basis of can· geniality and friendship.
To and not hinder those interested in fraternity membership is the purpose of the rushing contract, strictly speaking. The open rushing program which provides for honest and sincere discussion of onc's own (raternity and which gives the interested rushee a chance to find out the really im· portant facts about an organiz.ation or chap. ter is an excellent premise . If the orientation week of the college comes before rwhing. a knowledge of the Greek world with its ob· ligations and opportunities as they pertain to the particular campus could be included in the administration's plan under the auspices of the Panhellenic and interfraternity councils. The all-Panhellenic initial tea, or the initial tea which every sorority holds on the opening day of rushing, to which all rushees are invited gives the observing girl a picture of the whole.
After introducing rushing with all groups as hostesses simultaneously to all girls, the days may be divided in variow ways . The fundamenta l point is that the days be p lanned in a sane manner without overtaxing either rushee or sorority members. I t can be done! On a medium.siz.ed campus in the east, the fraternities are permitted an hour and a half in the afternoon and an hour and a half in the evening with prospective members The houses of residence are assigned to each group for certain days. After each fraternity has made the round of residences o r "wings of the dormitories" as prescribed. three days of informal rushing are pennitted with the
same definite hours set aside. At no time during these days maya group spend any money on rushing! On the final evening of the rush109 penod each fraternity may entertain at dinner those rushees it may desire. After a brief silence period bids are sent. And all the time the regular college work and activities have been going on! On this campus the time of rushing is spent in cultivating friendships, discovering common interests, testing congenIality !
For the large universities, state and otherwise. a few more "mechanics" may be included. The little pamphlet called "Sororities and you" of NorrnwtStern University and various printed statements and leaflets of other institutions are very hel pful to the co n· fused freshman. The system of the University of Illinois where the dean of women is accessible to any freshman during rushing for a heart to heart taJk and where the Panhellenic meets every morning at nine o'clock is worth much consideration. The fu ll time serv. ices of a secretary during A ugust and the rushing period as used by the University o f Washington Panhellenic helps solve many problems. The plan of one of the very large universititS in the men's rushing might well be adopted by the women on the campuses where the number who accept all r us h ing entertainment and privilege with no inten lion of joining is growing: name ly, a certain sum of money must be registered in the dean's office on a stipulated date by each person expecting or desiring to fO th rough the rqs hing season. This is proo of their good faith, and financial ability to join a group
Few rules make for better rus h ing, m o re confidence, and more honor. As D ean Leonard u rged at the Nationa l P an he ll en ic Co ngress, "Put your rules in your hea r ts instead of on pape r !" The secret to any successfu l rushing no matter the plan or time o r place is the honor of each participant-her loya l ty to her fraternity's hono r. her consec r a· tion to its ideals, and her bel ief in th e "sa nctity of obligations ."

Minutes of Annual Meeting of Grand Council
June 22.28, 1932
ETHannual meeting of Grand Council was held at the Settlement School in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, June 22-29, all members being present.
At the request of the Grand Council , the Settlement School Committee met with it for two joint sessions, and later at the request of the committee, the entire Grand Council was present at a session of the committee. The Grand Council and the Settlement School Committee, separately and at their joint sessions, considered an outline for the manual for the Settlement School Committee as prepared by Mabel Scott Brown, and adopted an official comm ittee manual. Matters of Settlement School policy and budget were considered by the Grand Council and the plans of the committee for the coming year were approved. Grand Council expressed its appreciation to the school staff for its constructive work and to the commjttee for the intelligent understanding of the school and the fraternity which the budget and the general plans for the coming year make evident.
The reports from the national office rs , the province presidents, the province vice presidents, and the chairmen of the standing co mmittees were read and discussed, and as a result, several policies were formulated.
Grand Council authorized the required official visits to Mu Lambda early this fall and voted that if the reports of
these visits were favorable the group be allowed to petition under the constitutional provision for c hartering in the interim of conventions. The Committee on Extension was authorized to encourage further contacts with IT :t B at American University, E I 1: at University of Western Ontario, and (3 ! 4) at Dalhousie University. AU other groups were definitely discouraged.
Since the Grand Council felt that chapter scholarship should more accurately reB ect the standing of active chapters, it authorized the chairman of the Scholarship Committee to require a chapter whose scholarship record is low (in the lower third) to deprive a member or members whose scholarship average is below the initiation grade of the privilege of voting as long as it is deemed necessary . Grand Council recommended to the chairman that she outline the basis upon which the scholarship ring may be awarded by any chapter and that chapte rs be allowed to use the ring only for awards made upon this definite basis. It was further decided that when a chapter whose scholarship is unacceptable fails to respond to the usual methods of supervision and assistance, the chairman of the Scholarship Committee shall report to the Grand Council with recomm endations for personal conferences with the chapter.
It was with deep regret that the Grand Council accepted the resignation s of
Mabel Scott Brown , ARROW Editor, be· cause of an extended absence abroad, and of Margaretta Fenn Putman, As· sistant to the Grand President, on account of continued ill health.
Upon the basis of the reports of the Standardiz ation and Survey Committee and the province presidents a nd visiting officers, the Grand Council awarded the Balfour Cup to Illinois Z, the Stoolrnan Vase to Washington B, and honorable mention to Michigan B. Grand Council is most appreciative of Michigan Beta's splendid record in having won the Bal· four Cup for three successive times and placed for honorable mention the fourth time.
With the study of the annual reports of the province presidents and the deans of women, a very graphic idea of conditions in the chapters was gained. K een appreciation of the bettering of internal organization in the chapters was expressed. Plans for strengthening those few chapters that n eed special super· vision were carefully formulated.
Miscellaneous business, including various recommendations which had developed, was next taken up. Grand Council voted:
Th at a chapter report imm ed iately to the Grand Presid e nt every case of probation for drinking, giving a copy of the te rms of probation_
That the Miami Valley Alumnz Club be allowed to change its name to the Dayton Alumnz Club.
That the discussion of the replies fr om the active chapters for using the new initiation revealed that the chapters do not fed it will cause any hardship to them financially. When use of the new initiati on fee threatens to present definite problems to the chapter, it is to be reported to the Grand President.
That the Central Office bill and issue to chapters binders for preserving the signatures at pledge ceremony.
That chapter subcriptions to Banta's Greek Exfhange not be compulsory.
That the So rority- Handbook no longer be required as a part of the chapter archives.
That Grand Council authorize the Grand Treasurer to procure blanket employees' liability insurance for all chapters having employees and assess the pro rata cost upon
each of those chapters having employees. That the dispensation granted last year to allow the active chapter contribution to the Settlement School to be forwarded by the province vice president to the Settlement School treasu re r instead of to the Grand Treasurer be cont inued for the coming year.
That four weeks before the date of any graduation during the year, each prospective graduate s hall sign the official application blank for membership in the alumnz department and shall pay to the chapter treasurer the annual senio r dues of one d o llar. The chapter treasu r e r shall be responsible for collecting these compulsory senior dues and for forwarding them within three days to the province vi ce president concerned. This change of procedure means that it is no longer compulsory that the signing of the application blanks be held in connection with the Senior Ceremo ny. This ceremony may be held by each chapter at any date, convenient to its members, within the last three weeks of school. with the understanding that all chapter members must be present to take pact in the ceremony.
That the Alumnz Adviso ry member on rushing and pledge supervision be in charge of the fraternity examination.
That all groups chartered after January 1. 1934 . be required to pay an installation fee to apply towards the expense which in· stallation inv olves for the fraternity nationaUy.
That chapters be instructed no t to sched. ule conference fo r visiting officers after ten o'clock at night.
That Grand Council, by special dispensation, place the EI Paso Alumnz Club in Mu Province, since this is more advantageous financially [or the fraternity.
That as various convention sites were considered and as the choice of sites oar· ro wed to the Edgewater Beach Hotel , Chicago, and French Lick Springs, Indiana, a final decision be made when more complete data had been obtained. Because of general conditions, the Grand Council voted to call for a vote of chapters on the question of postponing Convention until 1934 .
That a manual f o r rush captains, based upon an outline submitted by Virginia Hutson Getto, be put in final form for publication this fall.
Plans for chapter visiting were dis· cussed.
The following amendments to the constitution were made:
Amend Art III A, by inserting 5«. 10. REMOVAL FROM OFFICE
"Officers and members of the national
standing commi ttees may be ronoved from office by the Grand President upon u.na.ai. mow vote of the Grand Council."

NITA HILL STARK Grand SeereJary
Annual Reports of National Officers
For the Year 1931.1932
GRAND PRESIDENT
ANY
GENERAL social or economic condition inevitably is reflected in college life, and all fraternity officers began the year which has just dosed with a keen consciousness of the uncertainty and the problems which it held. In the face of almost universal decreases in active membership and in number of initiations. which in many cases have threatened the life of chapters and even of national organizations, Pi Beta Phi ca n report a year which meant a negligible decrease in active membership--less than three per cent from that of the previous year-and no decrease in initiations. These statistics seem to verify the prediction of a leading f ratemity man that the period of depression would mean the discontinuing of many of the young nationals but would leave the strong frat ernities more firmly entrenched than before. Pi Beta Phi's national officers hav e watched the situation with exceptional care and have given their best to make certain that the coming year, which may be an even more severe test than the year just ended has been, will find chapters in sound financial condition, with definitely established economies and wisely planned budgets, and with internal organizations which will assure their continued development. It has been gratifying to find that deans of women have agreed with the Grand Council that there has never been a time when close supervision of and personal contacts with chapters were of greater importance from the standpoint of the college as well as of the frat ernity. The regular schedule of chapter visits has been carried out and all chapters which seemed
to need special help with rushing, with organization, or with other problems have rec eived it. Because the fraternity realizes that rushing this fall will be of unusually vital importance, special emphasis has been placed upon preparations for actual rushing, upon secu ring data concerning prospective rushees, and upon inter esti ng high school graduates in entering coUeges where there are Pi Beta Phi chapters. The fraternity has every reason to anticipate a year which wilJ mean conti nued progress and increased prestige.
In th e res ignations of Mabel Scott Brown and Margaretta Fenn Putman the fraternity has lost two of its linest and best loved officers, each of whom has given of her ability and loyalty without measure and beyond her own strength; the debt which the fraternity owes them can be paid only in the devoted affection which it feels for them! Gamma and Iota Provinces have suffered a real loss in the resignations of Harriet Smith and Virginia Hutson Getto but welcome as their successors Mary Hornaday and Hel en Stanage ; the appointment of Frankie Cochran Hill as chairman of the Settlement School Committee has been followed by the selection of Carrie Hopkins Williamson as province vice president for Kappa Province; during the year, Emma Drury Sippel took office as Gamma Province Vice President to succeed Louise Van Sant, elected at Convention but unable to serve. Mary Wallih an Gibson and Frankie Cochran Hill were the successors on the Settlement School Committee to Rebecca Downey White and Eve Armstrong
Wyer. Virginia Hutson Getto has accepted appointment as Assistant to the Grand President.
Reports for chapters show that their condition is on the whole gratifyingly sound. The honors which have come to active members indicate that the fraternity continues to attract a fine type of young woman and to help her assume: an outstanding place in her col· lege community. Scholastic honors have not been few but there are still too few chapters which are holding honor positions on comparative lists. The Committee on Scholarship exrects that another year of the type 0 special help which it is now giving wiiJ mean a marked improvement in this rating. The new ruling, passed by Grand Council, limiting chapter privileges of members with unsatisfactory averages whose chapters are in the lower third of the competing fraternity groups on their campuses should have a wholesome effect. Now, as perhaps never before, members of Pi Beta Phi must recognize the fact that it is only as they gain from their years at college the education for which they supposedly came that they justify their position as college students and fraternity members. The fraternity nationally is sincerely trying to be the added incentive which will insure from every active member a real effort towards an education.
The Balfour Cup and the Stoolman Vase which are awarded annually by Grand Council for cooperation and high achievement will be held during the coming year by JIIinois Zeta and Washington Beta. Michigan Beta, the holder of the Balfour Cup for three successive years and the permanent possessor of the original cup, won honorable mention. Florida Beta won the annual award given by the Committee on Social Exchange . The Pi Beta Phi Fellowship for 1932-33 has been awarded to Jean McAllister, North Carolina Alpha, who will continue her work towards a doctor's degree in medi-
cine from the University of Pennsylvania All members of the fraternity interested in applying for the 1933-34 Pi Beta Phi Fellowship of $500 should get in touch with the Grand President as early as possible since aU applications must be in her hands by January I, 1933. Attention is called also to the $500 fellowship offered annually by the New York City Pan hellenic, further notice of which will appear in THE ARROW_ This fellowship was held during the past year by Katherine Noble, Illinois Delta, who has recently been appointed social director of the new undergraduate college of Teachers College, Columbia University . This fellowship for 1932 -33 will be held by Helen Fairburn, Sigma Kappa . In the support of its altruisti c projects the fraternity has again been given indisputable proof of the exceptional loyalty of its members. TIle demands upon the Undergraduate Loan Fund have been greater than ever before, but contributions to it have also set a new high record. It gave the fraternity very real pleasure to have the District of Columbia Alpha Mothers' Club show its interest in undergraduates by a generous contribution to the Loan Fund. Contributions to the Settlement &hool amounted to more than $21,000, a splendid record for any year and a remarkable one for a year when few if any members of the fraternity failed to feel the effects of the general financial stringency _ It is hoped that every member of the fraternity will study in detail the reports upon which these statements are based; they are reason for very keen pride in Pi Beta Phi! Special attention is called, too, to the fact that the profits from the Magazine Agency this year showed an increase over the previous year of approximately $800. Every Pi Beta Phi should show her appreciation for the tireless work of Dorothy Jackes Miller, the director, by sending at least her own subscriptions and renewals to the Magazine Agency. With a hundred
per cooperation from members of the fraternity the agency could pass on to the Settlement School thousands of dollars where it now sends hundreds; isn't this worth the slight effort which it would mean?
The coming year promises to be one of marked results for the Settlement School. With the closing of the Sugarlands School because of its location within the Smoky Mountain Park area. enrollment at Gatlinburg has been increased, and it is probable that the County will provide one more grade school teacher than it did last year. All budgets have been cut to the minimum but the efficiency of the staff has reo mained at its normal high level. Reports for the school should, as always, be studied with a keen realization of what they represent in devot ed service from the committee and the staff! The weaving done under the direction of the Arrow Craft department has continued to win high praise from experts in handicraft work. A special project of the department, the past year, has been the planning of new weaving which could be sold at moderate prices. Clubs will be delighted with the loveliness of these inexpensive pieces.
The responsibility for the handling of frat ernity funds and for the investing of its endowment monies is a very heavy one in times like these. The year has brought to all thinking Pi Beta Phis a renew ed realization of the advantage which it has in having as its Grand Treasurer Lois Franklin Stoolman, a woman of exceptional business ability and judgment. Her report shows that the fraternity is on a sound financial basis with all funds in good condition. Under her direction the Board of Trustee Funds has continued to invest en· dowment funds as provided for by the constitution. It seems worthy of comment that no security purchased by the Board of Trustee Funds since its organization has failed to pay its regular dividends. The market value of frater-
oity securities has fluctuated, of course, but the regularity with which interest has been paid seems to prove the basic soundness of the investments and to promise their eventual return to their earlier market value. Fraternity endowment funds are, of course, invested only in bonds of not less than A rating or in first mortgages on high grade real estate. Each investment must be approved in advance by three-fifths of the Board of Trustee Funds and by the Harris Trust Company of Chicago or the First Trust Company of Lin co ln, N ebraska.
With the election of Mabel Scott Brown as ARROW Editor came the necessity for a c hang e in the management of the Central Office. Mrs. Brown very kindly consented to continue to act as director until all applications for the position could be given carefu l consideration and plans for the future could be worked out. Early in January, Beatrice Stephenson took office as director ; and after six weeks of intensive study of the work in Hartford , transferred the Centr al Office to BlOOmington, Illinois. It is a privilege to express for the fraternity its appreciation of the service which Mrs . Brown gave to Pi Beta Phi in organizing its first central office and in developing its system of caring for records and supplies which is so markedly effective. The present more cent ral locatio n of the office promises much in lessened costs in time and money, while the and ability of Beatrice Stephenson assure the fraternity that there will be no faUing below the usual standard of efficiency which it has come to take as a matter of course.
During the year the fraternity has published the Manual of Social Usage compiled by Beatrice Teague, and bas beeo deeply gratified by the favorable comments which the publication has received from fraternity and college officials. Other publications have included the Uniform Regulations Goveroing
Chapter House Chaperons, a Manual for Rusb Cartains compiled by the Grand Counci upon the basis of an outline prepared by Virginia Hutson Getto, and a Manual (or the Settlement School Committee compiled by the Settlement School Committee and the Grand Council using as the basis the manuai originally outlined by Mabel Scott Brown.
Early in the fall the two groups granted charters by Convention were installed as Alberta Alpha and South Carolina Alpha , with the Grand President as instaJling officer assisted in each instance by the province president concerned. During the year, the Grand Presi dent has made six regular official visits and two eme rg ency ones. She has had the added pleasure of being the guest of several alumna: dubs and of far too brief visits with Inez Smith Soule and Fanny Whitenack Libbey, beloved Founders. Following the installation of South Carolina Alpha, she inspected the petitioning group at Duke
THE
University and recommended it for favorable consideration.
As Pi Beta Phi's delegate to National Panhelleni c Congress, the Grand President attended the biennial meeting held in St. Louis in October, 1931; a full report of that congress appeared in the February ARROW. As chairma n of the N.P.C. Committee on College Panhel· ieni cs, she rep resented National Panhellenic at the Conference of Urban Panhellenics held in Indianapolis in February.
As she has wished each year during which she has been an officer of the fraternity, the Grand President wishes that she were able to express ber appreciation, too deep for words, for all that Pi Beta Phi has given herfriendships of untold dearness, contacts of great inspiration, encouragement and cooperation unfailing in their helpfulness, and a privilege of service rare in its opportunities!
AMY BURNHAM ONKEN
GRAND VICE PRESIDENT
DEPARTMENT of
. n B <I> doses its year with a feeling of gratitude and satisfaction; gratitude for the loyalty and continued interest of alumnre clubs and individuals and satisfaction in the results of this spirit as evidenced in the support of the fraternity projects in the face of serious obstacles.
The change made at the 1931 Convention which increased the number of provinces by two gave each province officer a smaJler territory to cover and in consequence, a closer contact with her clubs . Our personnel started with but three former province vice presidents continuing in office but each new officer has brought ability and individuality to her position. Two vacancies have been 611ed during the year. The place of Louise Van Sant, elected Gamma Province Vice President at Conven-
tion but unable to serve. was taken by Emma Drury Sippel of Baltimore, Maryland. The recent resignation of Frankie Hill as Kappa Province Vice President to become Ouirman of the Settlement School Committee has resulted in the appointment of Carrie Hopkins Williamson of Shreveport, Louisiana , as her successOr.
Seven new groups have become char· tered clubs this year: Bryan, Texas; San Jose, California ; Stillwater, Oklahoma; Monterey Bay, California, which includes the towns of Santa Cruz, Salinas, Watsonville, and Monterey; Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; EI Paso, Texas, and St. Joseph, Missouri. Several other groups have requested application blanks or have shown an interest in the approaches made by the vice president of their province.
Because of an insufficient number of
resident Pi Beta Phis in South Central Kansas and Joplin, Missouri, these clubs were forced to relinquish their charters. The frat ernity hopes they may function soon again as organized groups. We start th e new year with a total of 155 alumn", clubs .
In Septem ber a lette r of greeting wa s sent to all clubs, stressing the reasons for the existence of alumnre clubs , namely the promotion of friendship and the support of the various fraternity activities, the active chapters , the Undergraduate Loan Fund , the Endowment Fund, and th e Settlement School, together with a brief explanation of ea ch.
The Settlement School conti nu es to be the great im petus to alumna:! activity. While the amounts received do not total as much as in the preceding year Or two, th e inter est is in creas ing and th e money subscribed has been ea rned with larger expenditure effort. A study of the reports of alumn re club presidents reveals but three clubs failing to co ntribute to th e support of the school. Th e fine showing of the Magazine Agency this year has inc reased OU! support of the school materially and great credit is due Mrs . Miller for her able handling of the agency in addition to h er work as vi ce president of Epsilon Province.
Under the supervision of Vera Wattles Kirkpatrick , former province vice president, a model club constitution i s now available. The Assistant to the Grand Vice President revised the club questionnaires and the charts for use of the province vice presidents, while the Office rs ' Manuals w e re revised by the Grand Vice President. The appreciation of the alumn.r department is here extended to Beatri ce Stephenson, Director of Central Ollice, for her assistance in the h andling of this work and her cooperatio n at all times.
Letters have been sent each month by the Grand Vi ce Pres ident to the province vice presidents who in turn
hav e been in systematic communication with their clubs. From the club questionnaires it is gratifying to learn that they apprec iat e the va lue of these co ntacts with the national organization and but two clubs protested the amount of "re d tape" involved. It has been our ai m to impress upon club officers that only through these system ati c contacts ca n we know the st re ngth of the clubs and the l imits of our poss ibiliti es. Through the exchange of letters provin ce officers have been abl e to furth e r the adherence of clubs to charter ce· quirements a nd to promote internal development. The Grand Pr es ident and the Grand Vi ce Presi d ent have sent copies of their genera l letters to all province officers who have" been ass is ted greatly by knowledg e o f both active and alumnre activities.
Twenty-nin e alumna: clubs received official vi s it s from their province vi ce presidents thi s year. Only one province was visited in its entirety. Their provin ce office r visited the Settlement School before und ertaking he r visits in order to take to ber clubs the inspiration of first hand information. The fraternity regre ts the necessity for retrenchment which made impracti ca l the sending of province vice presidents to Gatlinburg at fr ate rnity expense. All clubs not yet visited will receive their visits early in the {aU.
The questionnaires from dubs have bee n of invaluabl e service in planning for alumn", work and great appreciation is felt by the Grand Vi ce President and her Assistant for the extensive work of the club presidents in compiling the data contained in them, for th e ir suggestions of furth e r ways in which the national office rs may help and in the frank discussion of their problems as well as the details of their successful undertakings. Bridge groups and bridge benefits are the greatest money makers but the sa les of marketable products from vanilla to automobil es and Eu-
ropean tril's have been tried. The increased spirit of cooJ>!!cation with national and province officers is shown in the 122 questionnaires received from club presidents and the 128 clubs who have reported their new officers in time for inclusion in the Alumna! Directory of the September ARROW.
The active chapter looks for its greatest assistance to alumnz and near · by clubs. The larger clubs are usually able to fix a proper balance between the suppo rt of the chapter and the Settlement School. However , we should like to see the smaller clubs place a deJinite per capita amount as their goal for the Settlement School donations next year. While the system of pledge cards is simple and digniJied , it does not bring the results which united eflort for a deJinite large goal brings.
A real endeavor has been made to secure one hundred per cent response in donations for the Undergraduate Loan Fund and the results have been very gratifying. This year has found more active girls in need of aid to can· tinue their co llege education. The support of every club to the extent of an annual $5.00 or $10.00 contribution would mean the further advance of this service.
Greetings to all clubs for Founders Day were sent by the Grand Vice President, also. Her gratitude goes to the five Founders who gave their time and energy to write messages to be included in this letter to our actives and assembled to do them honor. Wherever possible, and actives were together and all clubs celebrated the occasion in some manner. Among the largest gatherings were state wide lun c heons in Indiana and Michigan where the former held an interesting conference under the guidance of the Delta Province Vice President and the latter had to close reservations' for lack of room; the clubs and chapters of Gamma Province likewise assembled
for a luncheon; at Palo Alto, California Jive clubs had luncheon with Cali· fornia A and B: in Southern California five clubs joined with California rand .6. at the Hotel Huntington , sce ne of the 1929 Convention, for a banquet: the clubs in and near Chicago banqueted with Illinois E chapter which staged a model initiation for them.
Our isolated alumnx continue to be an almost untou ched field and the problem of clubs and officers alike. In one province a newsy letter was sent out by the province vice president with a plea for renewed interest in alum.rue activities. The results showed that many aJumn.r: while not near any club conti nue their interest in the fraternity. It will be splendid when all can see the advantages of continuing their affiliations with the fraternity through the alumnre department even though out of school.
It has been the privilege of the Grand Vice President to visit, officially for the Grand President, nine active chapte rs: Colorado A and B, Iowa A, B, rand z, Wyoming A, Utah A and Nevada A and to know unofficially California rand 1::1. These contacts with the actives are a real joy and inspiration. The chapters' interest in national undertakings, their pleasure in hearing how other chapters function and their co nstant eflorts to hold IT B <1/ in the place she should continue to maintain among fraternities are causes for faith in the youth of today. It was also her privilege during the year to meet with the alumnre of Denver, Des Moines, Indianola, Ames, Laramie, Salt Lake City. Reno, Glendale, Santa Monica, and Los Angeles as well as with the alwnrue advisory committees of all c hapters visited. Their interest in alumnre anc. active work was genuine and effective in almost every case.
The Grand Vice President greatly appreciated representing IT B <1/ at two Panhellenic dinners given by A r!l and
A a: t:. as part of their respective Convention programs in Pasadena, California. Also by virtue of her office, she presided at a Los Angeles Rotary Club luncheon honoring the ladies.
The office of the Assistant to the Grand Vice President carries with it the duty of supervis ing young clubs as well as discovering locations for new clubs, either of which entails responsibility and labor. This office wishes to express to Mrs. Comer its appreciation for the exercise of these duties as well as her handling of other calls for aid placed upon her during the year.
The Grand Vice President and her Assistant cannot express too strongly their gratitude for the excellent work done by the province vice presidents
Tthis year. The fine spirit within the clubs reRects their enthusiasm and tireless efforts. Their loyalty has been unsurpassed and the continuance of their coope ration will mean the greater success of the alumna: department.
The privilege of treading in the footsteps of her predecessors who have served the fraternity so ably has meant much to the Grand Vice President this year though she has found it difficult to equal their strides. Her contacts with fellow members of Grand Council, with all officers, alumna:! clubs, and actives have been priceless experiences and to them all she expresses her appreciation for their help.

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT
THE ASSOCIATIONS this year with Pi Phis and Pi Phi work have been even more delightful and full of challenge than previous ones. Stimulated by a splendid Convention, we all doubled our efforts to make this an outsta nding year in IT B <I> development and growth_
Advisory boards and pledge supervisors with whom the Assistant to the Grand President has worked dosely have cooperated beautifully and have accomplished much. A new manual was decided on for us e in study by pledges carried into the seco nd semester It seems to have met with the hearty approval of all supervisors . In addition, a program for personality development was worked out for use by chapters who
wished it. The pledge supervisors this year have done a fine piece of work both in their co ntacts with the Assistant to the Grand President and with th eir pledges. They have one of the most important offices in the chapter, for , in· her opinion, the proper orientation of pledges is one of the biggest contributions made by a fraternity , May she co ngratulate them on the progress made this year.
The Advisory Board Manual was reo vised to make it an instrument more eas ily follow ed and unders tood, and several additions were made to include new duties and functions of members. This year a uniform report was outlined for advisory boards to be made to the province presidents and to this
officer, whICh contains a resume of their year's work and problems. Also a suggested outline of the year's activi· ties of the chapte r was made to be given to the local alumna: club cove ring particular points of interest to them. The advisory boards have been excellent in their cooperation and assistance and, the Assistant to the Grand President f eels, have a dearer conception of the part they play in the work of the fraternity. She cannot over·emphasize how important this is and how appreciative we all should be of the time and effort they give, which cont ribute so largely to the well-being of the chapters.
It was a distinct privilege to have had the pleasure and opportunity of visiting nine chapters thiS year which include: Florida A, B, and r, North Carolina A, South Carolina A, Virginia A and r, District of Columbia A, and Maryland A, with a trip to Pennsylvania A concerning Panhellenic mat· ters. All of these visits were occasions of real joy and brought a stronger realization of what fine chapters we have, and what splendid girls are making ou r enviable fraternity history.
It is with keenest regret that it is
Dnecessary for the Assistant to the Grand President to give up her fraternity work. These years of friendships and official contacts with n B $ have been among the greatest privileges of her life. To have been allowed to serve the fraternity even in so small a degree has been a great opportunity and one rich in memories long to be treasured. May she take this time to Ulank the many Pi Phis who have cooperated and assisted her so whole.heartedly in her work, both alumnre and actives, and also express her appreciatio n of their many kindnesses and the happy hours they have given her. To Grand Coun· cil , she has a debt of gratitude for their help and friendship never to be forgotten, and to Miss Onken , who will ever represent to her the ideal Grand President, because of her exceptional charm and understanding as a woman , her wisdom as a leader, her supe ri ority as an executive, and the fact that she embodies in every way the ideals of n B $, she wishes to express her sin· cere and lasting appreciation of assoc iations with her.
MARGARETTA FENN PUTMAN
ASSISTANT TO GRAND VICE PRESIDENT
URING the first six months the As· sistant to the Grand Vice President carried the work of Province Vi ce President of Gamma Province. The duties are closely intertwined. The first responsibility was to compile the " High Lights of the 1931 Convention:' This she did and sent the rather poor reRection of that wonderful experience to Central Office for distribution . From this unsatisfactory attempt to crystal I ize the work of Convention for those not able to atte nd , she has developed some definite ideas as to how to proceed another time, namely, to get daily "High Lights' rather than to get them in the rush of departure or
by the even more unsatisfactory method of having them sent in.
A second responsibility was to write a letter for the 1930 seniors, urging them to continue their n B 4> contacts and pointing out to them the need of the fraternity for their help and loyalty. This letter was sent to Cent ral Office to be mailed .
It has been the earnest desire of the Assistant to the Grand Vice President to add a new club to Our roste r, but in spite of many letters and even two visits to one town her efforts have brought no results. She has written letters of welcome to the clubs which have come in through other efforts than
her owo. She has had a few letters asking for information concerning the work of the clubs and the Province Vice Presidents, and has answered them to the best of her ability.
In February, she wrote the usual letter to the province vice presidents in order to relieve the Grand Vice President, who was busy with chapter visits. From this and the letters which the Grand Vke President has ten she has had most encouraging replies.
In April, at the suggestion of the Grand President, she went to Columbia, South Carolina, to aid that new chapter in the celebration of its first Founders Day. It was a most gratifying experience, and the whole affair would have done credit to a much older chap-
Tter. She presented a history of the Settlement &hool and its great work by means of the slides. A display of the products gave point and interest to what she had to say, and the meeting was most cordially praised.
At the suggestion of the Grand Vice President, the Assistant tabulated the numbers of paid club members and the amount per capita of the Settlement School donations. 111is was sent to the Grand Vice President to be used at Grand Council meeting
Her work has been both pleasant and inspiring, and she is grateful to all those who have helped carry it on. She only hopes that her help to the Grand Vice President may be increased this coming year.
JANE WHITE COMER
ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND TREASURER
HIS REPORT cannot express in su ch a cold rna"nner how much the Assistant to the Grand Treasurer has enjoyed the close touch with Mrs. Stoolman and the letters received from other members of Grand Council. There has been much patience and suggestive aids given. She has appreciated the many hours her friend, Lois F. Stoolman, has always willingly donated to her.
She has tried to accomplish her task faithfully. She has dispatched promptly each day the jewerry orders as received. The amount handled shows
that more plain badges were ordered than the jeweled ones.
The detailed and well·regulated internal workings of the national fraternity have amazed the Assistant to the Grand Treasurer. The loyalty and hard work of the Grand Council have thrilled her and spurred her on in her insignificant work.
Grand Council will never know the joy she has had this year in feeling that in a small way she was helping in the furthering of the ideals of II B <1>.
SARAH
J. FISHER
ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE PI BETA PHI CENTRAL OFFICE
(Period from July I, 1931, to February 17, 1932)
WHEN the 1931 Convention authorized the appointment of a Director of the Central Office with salary not to exceed fifteen hundred dollars, the former director volunteered to continue the work until her successor should be found. Naturally, since the date of the new appointment was indefinite, the Acting Director undertook as few new
projects as possible, devoting her time to the routine work as provided for in the calendar of THE ARROW and in finally clearing up all cataloguing work. The amount of supplies printed was for as brief a period as possible so that the new Director might have as small an amount of material to ship as possible. In spite of this, however
it took a freight car when the time came for moving the office to Bloomington in February_
New publications issued included: Manual of Social Usage, Dismissal Binders, Recording Secretary's Roll and Minute Book, House Rul es, Uniform Duti es of Chapter House Chaperons, Archives Contents Card, Mimeographed bulletins included: Outline of Treasurer 's Work, Point System for Activities , Affiliation Ceremony, Manual for Advisors of New Chapters, Alumna! Club Model Constitution, and Alumnre Advisory Committee Manual. With fall supplies, copies of the pamphlet, " How to Study," and of the new Songbook were sent to all chapters.
Routine work included writing of initiation ce rtificates, editing of the official Directory of THE ARROW for three issues, compilation of the Alumna:! Personals for three issues, revision of the mailing list and its printjng for use on the ARROW wrappers for three issues.
During the process of the housecleaning which took place in preparation for turning over records in as good condition as jOssible, the Acting Director is gla to announce that the laborious task of going back through all the initiation certificates and num· bering them in accordance with the new system was completed. Old reco rds were searched for all possible data regarding withdrawals from the fraternity and a complete and accurate file of dismissals properly numbered was turned over to the new Director. This means that there ought not to be much question in the future as to the absolute accuracy not only of past records but also of membership statistics. It had been hoped that the mailing list card file might be entirely re-typed but this proved impracticable with the volume of other work to be done. The Acting Director recommended to her successor that she re-type the few remaining poor cards during the summer of 1932.
The new system of communicating
with alumna: dubs most successful. In October, 1931, an Addressograph list of both subscribers and nonsubscribers to THE ARROW was sent to each club, whose correspo nding secretary in almost every case returned the list in November with additions and corrections. A number of the additions to the li st were Pi Phis who had been lost for severa l years.
Copies of the " lost" list were printed from our regular Addressograph " lost" plates and sent out to alumna! clubs and province officers as well as to vice presidents of c ha pters. The result was most gratifying in the reduct ion of the number of lost. Having used this method for two years with exce llent results, the Acting Director was con· vinced that it was much more effica· cious than was her former method of publishing " lost" lists in THE ARROW as well as infinitely less expensive.
In January the new director came to Hartford , remaining for six weeks, during which time she and the Acting Director studied the general system of the fraternity as to cataloguing, (om· munication with chapters, issue of sup· plies, editing, mailing list, etc. Since it was possible only to get a most general survey and since there are so many details which could not possibly be completed in the limited time, the two have been in constant tou ch ever since.
During the time that the new director was in Hartford, among other surveys, a comp lete written outline of the publications of the fraternity was made in such form that it was easy to recognize what few missing manuals and working materials should still be supplied. The Acting Director presents this outlipe to Grand Council and believes that the system worked out should be valuable in the future in numbering all blanks belonging to various officers, committees, etc.
Chapters were not requested to send a catalogue list of members this year; however, next year in the early fall such a list will be requested . In prepara-
tioD for it. post cards were to be sent by the office in May. The plan is to send no cards next year, concentrating in chapters on finding of "lost" memo bers and preparation of an accurate list.
During the time in which the Central Office has been developed I feel that we have a<:complished the following definite results:
1. A standardization of all Directory records and the compilation of a modern file with all cards copied and up to date.
2. The issue of a practically com· plete set of fraternity manuals so that the former laborious method of writing long letters of instruction to be repeated every year has been replaced by stand· ard instructions which have been ce· duced to the point where there are very fcw changes from year to year. This system does away with unnecessary letter writing by the Central Office and national officers or committees. It also prevents the confusion arising when chapter and alumnre officers have to go back through a big file of letters to find what they wish.
3. The completion of an Addresso · graph file of all members of the fra· ternity, whether subscribers to THE ARROW or Dot, making possible a com· plete circularization of the fraternity membership at any time. Along with this should be mentioned a complete list of all members whose present ad · dress is unknown which may be printed at any time and is invaluable as a means of finding members whose addresses may be supplied by their friends.
4. The establishment of a habit of in the minds of chapter corresponding secretaries, so that mechanical difficulties of receiving of reports by national officers and of records by the Central Office have been reduced to a minimum. I should like to empha · size the necessity for making chapters feel that the regular routine of the fraternity moves on from year to year .
In the early days of the office the official calendar was changed many times with consequent confusion to chapter and alumnre officers, but for the last two or three years almost the same schedule has been adhered to and the same type of reports has been expected, so that chapter officers have been able to depcnd upon something definite.
The stability of any offi ce depends upon the fact that it has as few interruptions as possible to the regular routine and that unusual requests may easily be classified and dealt with in some department of the office already well established . This reduces pos· sibility of mistakes to a minimum . From the inception of the office the Director has constantly protested against the use of the office for new untried schemes propounded by en · thusiastic Pi Phis, for these usually meant upsetting regular duties for a plan which did not produce enough result to warrant the cost. She feels that the reduction of the office to a strictly clerical use was inevitable and believes that the office will work out, as the years go on, a mechanism much more perfectly adapted to the needs of the fraternity than that which in the process of constru c tion she has been able to organize.
Up until the present time the office has been handicapped by the fact that it was in process of establishment. It has been necessary to try out schemes to see whether they meet the tests of practicability and economy. All radical changes whirl, have been made have been the result of slow experiments to prove their worth. As is true of any brand new undertaking, it was necessary to use the processes of trial and error, and the Director hopes that mistakes made during this period may serve to prevent using the same plans again. One of the greatest advantages of centralization is that a new director does not have to start all over again at the beginning
Future running of the office should he more economi cal due to the fact that the painstaking investigation of all fraternity procedure since the founding of II B <I> will not need to he done again. The former Director believes th at th e detailed study which she has made has been worth its cost since it
has laid a foundation for future offices which need not again he taken to pieces. Upon it sbe hopes may he built a superstructure which may he modified as the years go on to suit the changi ng needs of SO flexible and growing an organization as that of IT B <1> MABEL ScOTT BROWN
DIRECTOR OF THE CENTRAL OFFICE
(February 17, 1932, to June 30, 1932)
AFT E R my appointment to the di · rectorship of the Central Office of n B <1>, I le ft for Hartford, January 5 and spent six weeks at the former Central Olli ce with Mrs. Brown as my untiring instru ctor . The worth of Mrs . Brown 's pioneer work can never be over-estimated , and she turned over to me on February 17, 1932, a perfect cataloguing system
The equipment arrived in Bloomington in good condition about five days after leaving Hartford. By March 1 the office was settled on the second floor of th e Durley Building where it occupies two and one half rooms. Two efficient girls , Sena Miller and Golda Evans, were employed as secretaries . Since that time the work has been concerned mostly with the following:
<a) New initiate work- sending out directories and initiation certificates and cataloguing cards and plates.
(b) Sending out spring supplies to chapters and alumnre clubs.
(c) New publication work (having blanks printed that were out of print and mimeographing blanks, manuals, etc. )
(d) Collecting money from chapters and sending out return postal cards to alumna!.
(e) Filling individual orders for blanks, stationery, etc .
(f) Keeping mailing list up to dat e and running mailing list for the May ARROW
(g) Compiling Standardization and Survey Report.
From February 17, 193 2, through May 31 , 1932 , operating expenses we re as follows :
Since February 17, 1932, the office has had the following publications printed: statements for office use; 1000 postal cards for use in finding lost members; 1000 sheets for Record Book; sheets (Index for Record Book); annual reports ; 1000 chapter officer lists; 500 scholarship blank No.4; 1000 initiation receipt books; 2000 labels (to be pasted on outgoing parcels) ; 500 receipt books for publications; 400 fillers for Bound Constitution; 500 standardization and survey blanks; 20 ,000 postal cards for alumnre (paid for by chapters).
The office has also mimeographed the following: Social Exchange Bulletin, Charts for Province Vice Presidents' Reports, Manual for Duties of Alumn., Club Officers, Province Vice Presidents' Questionnaires. Stationery Questionnaire, Amendments to the Constitution, and Change of Address blanks.
Since February 17, 1932, through May 31, 1932, the office has taken in $356 38 from chapters, individuals , and alumnre clubs, in payment for publications, stationery, supplies . etc.
At the present time the following publications are out of print (or nearly
SO), or out of date: Historical Sketch (out of print), rituals, and constitutions.
The project of the alumnae postal cards was most interesting and in five weeks the office had collected $558 .2 1 from all chapters, charging them 3c per alumna . These were sent out in May, and although the office has not started cataloguing, over half of them have been returned and this will be the main project this summer. Other summer work is to rewrite all the old cards in the mailing Jist file and make them uniform . and recheck deaths, affiliates, and dismissals. The office also plans to issue stationery to various offi ce rs, chairmen of committees, and committee members this summer.
The Director feels that the fraternitY has too many lost members, and her aim is to reduce this number greatly within the next six months. She has suggested to Mrs. Brown that we print our lost list in THE ARROW, but she had previously tried this scheme and found it was too expensive for the results obtained, so we must again ask officers, alumna: clubs, and chapters to help hunt for these lost members.
The Director wishes to thank Grand Council heartily for giving her the opportunity of serving in the capacity of Director of the Central Office, and next yea r she hopes her experien ce of this year will help her to serve mOre efficiently.

NATIONAL SUPERVISOR OF CHAPTER ACCOUNTING
H E FILES, reco rd s, and correspo nd. ence pertai ning to this office were receiv ed by the present supervi so r from the former Supervisor of Chapter Accounting during the month of September. The records and files were in per· fect co ndition and every chapter h a d sent in its final repo rt and audit for the previous year. The form e r super· visor was kind enough to se nd out the regular fall letter of instructions to the chapter treasurers, a Jetter co ntaining
advice to the chapter treasu rers from Mr. Busey and a letter directed to the financial advisers. With the exce ption of Nevada A. Illinois E and H . all chapters respond ed by sending in their budget co ntrol sheets. Th e latter two submitted their sheets after th e first of the year. Nevada A w as excused, as the treasu rer and fin an cia l adviser felt that an accur ate bud ge t cou ld not be made out due to the fact that this would be the first year in its new house, but will
submit one next year. This chapter shows a cash gain for the year and the reports indicate that a careful watch has been kept of its expenditures.
All chapters hav e been cooperating, sending in reports on time, with the exception of Oregon A and Illinois E. Grand Council has been informed of these cases and also of the situation at Oregon B, which chapter has sent no report since February. It is apparent that Illinois E is making every effort to straighten out its books and it is hoped that, by next fall, it will be able to use the Busey system fully and report regularly .
In making this report, the chapters whose final reports have been received are separated from those whose final reports have not been received. The figures of Oregon A and B are not in · c1uded in the following data.
Of the first class, numbering fifty. nine chapters, no chapter shows a debit balance. Of the sixteen remain· ing chapters, two show a debit bal· ance on the April report. Nebraska B shows a deficit of $26.06. It is hoped that this will have been made up by the close of the school year. Illinois Z sh ows a deficit of $1072.69, which was caused by investments and the pre-payment of rent. This will assuredly be eliminated on the final report.
The Busey system of accounting is self-auditing and the bank balance shown on the final reconcilement sheet should agree with the book balance shown on the final monthly report. Of the fifty -nine chapters whose final r eports have been received, the balances of forty-eight are in comp lete agreement. The records show that eight of rema ining chapters check accurately for the year, from the figures e nt e red upon the reports , but the book balances are not in agreement with the bank balances. The differen ces, in most cases , a re sma ll . These figur es are give n to show the value of the present system . Thirty-seven of the fifty-nine chapters whose final reports have been re-
ceived, s how a cash gain for the year and twe nty-two show a cash loss.

Chapters not reporting l 2 77
Fiv e of the chapters reporting a cash loss would have shown an actual cash gain for the year, were it not for unusual occurrences, such as rep laceme nts made necessary by fire, the recording of various receipts on the books of last year and the recording of th e expendi. ture of such receipts on the books of the present year. The cash loss is small in most cases where the loss has been caused by mismanagem e nt or by an unusual1y large reduction of active members. None of the losses has been great enough to cause a deficit for the year.
Twelve chapters have invested the total sum of $16,095.94 during th e c urrent year. The money has been used to reduce the indebtedness on the ter houses or in the purchase of Government Bonds.
Five chapters record "Bills Payabl e" at the close of the year. These are small debts, with the exception of North Dakota A which has made satisfactory progress in reducing its indebtedness.
Thirty-six of the fifty-nine chapters whose final reports have been received show delinquent members, and ten of the remaining sixteen show delinquent members.
The following chapters show delin · quent members on their final reports:
Arkansas A ..s 11.0:') California A 286.21
The following chapters show delinquent members on the latest reports received by this office. It is hoped that these will be reduced materially on the final reports.
Florida
Florida
ldaho
Illinois
Illinois
Massachusetts
NOTE-Two chapters record almost $2000 of the total amount on their lists.
This office feels that the increase in the number of delinquent members, as well as the increase of the total amount owing to the chapters has been caused, to a great extent, by the existing economic conditions. However, it is true
that some chapter treasurers are not co nscientious and earnest enough in their endeavors to make co llections . This office finds it necessary to urge all chapter treasurers to take recourse to the regulation requiring the imposition of fines. In only about fifty per cenl of the cases, have the treasurers secured notes from the members who were delinquent when leaving school. These rulings must be enforced at all times and in all cases. Several chapters have had to write off accounts due from girls whose pledges had expired. As there is no recourse in these cases, chapter treasurers should collect all pledge dues as promptly as dues from actual members. A complete record has been made of all delinquent members and this office wi II see that an earnest and continued effort is made by the treasurers to collect the amounts due them.
A reconcilement sheet has been required with each monthly report. This sheet reconciles the bank balance with the check book balance, and it is evident that this has been of great benefit as is shown by the high percentage of reports that check accurately for the entire year.
A request was sent out for all treasurers of chapters maintaining houses to send in a copy of their Expense Distribution Sheet before the close of school. Of the fifty -one chapters who should have complied with this request, thirty-eight chapters responded. In the future, chapters maintaining houses must send in a copy of this sheet with the reports due February 25, and all chapters must send one in with the final report of the year.
The national ruling requiring the election of chapter treasurers in February has not been complied with in all cases. It is apparent to this office that , in cases where this is done, the new treasurers, with the instruction and help of the former treasurers, succeed in learning the system more rapidly than new treasurers who are forced to work it out for themselves. It is urged
that this ruling be adhered to more strictly, in the future. The recomm e ndation is made that a treasurer be elected for a second year if she has proved to be capable and efficient, and that in the selection of a new treasurer, the capability and dependability of a member be considered, rather than the popularity or need for finan cial assistance. The practi ce of paying the treasurer more than $10 a month for her work is not advised, for then, there is a great possibility that the offi ce will be given to a member because of her need of financi al aid and not because of her ability to fulfill the duties of the office. Moreover, a chapter offi ce r is expected to donate a part of her time to f caternity work.
The finan cial adviser should be selected because of her interest in this phase of the work. It is assumed by this office, that, when an adviser has signed a monthly report, she has made a complete check of the assessment roll sheet and of the expense distribution sheet, assuring herself that all proper entries have been made, and that the figures entered on the monthly report have been compiled directly from the figures on these sheets, and that the bank balance has been recon ciled with the check book balance. In order 10 do this efficiently, it is necessary that the adviser familiarize herself with the system by a careful study of the Busey Manual. It is again suggested that advisers set aside a certain afternoon or evening each month on which to confer with the chapter treasurers and to examine and sign the reports.
The following data has been compiled:

The national supervisor feels that the year has been more fortunate, as far as chapter finances are concerned, than could have been expected. Although twenty-five chapters show a cash loss as compared with three last year and with seven therreceding year, none of the losses are 0 great size nor have they resulted in debit balances. This condition was to be expected this year but chapters should guard against it in the future It is urged that chapter treasurers and financial advisers exert the utmost care in making out the budgets for the coming year and in seeing that the chapters make an earnest effort to keep within the budget, from month to month . Loss , on account of vacancies in the chapter house, can be eliminated by the use of a house bill set on a sliding scale, increasing as the membership drops.
The problem of delinquent members is a great one and it is important that visiting officers and financial advisers see that the chapter treasurers
SIare fully cognizant of the national regulations regarding delinquency and that these regulations are put into practi ce . It is natural that the number of delinquent members shouJd increase during this year of economi c stress , but every effort should be made next year by all offi cers of the fraternity , whose offi c es are directly or indirectly connected with this field of fraternity work, to watch the delinquent lists and to see that the treasurers are ever vigilant in their efforts to make collections .
This offi ce feels satisfied with the results obtained from all c hapters and wishes to thank each chapter treasurer for the effort and time devoted to her office.
The national supervisor wishes to thank the former supervisor for the aid and advice which she has given throughout the year, and to express her thanks to the members of Grand Council for their help and assistance.

HISTORIAN
NCE the Historian has last sent in a report, much new material has been received and added to the permanent record of the fraternity. Retiring officers and others have contributed personal correspondence which has been of great service. On several occasions the Historian has been able to supply material of an historical nature to those desiring to use it for special occasio ns . She would welcome any suggestions by which further use could be rendered of the tiles entrusted to her keeping, thus making a more intimate association with the active life of the fraternity.
The Historian wishes to acknowledge
her gratitude to the many who have sent valuable contributions to the history, to Miss Onken and others who have given help and guidance during the year, to those who have sent letters and other information, and to those who have given valued possessions, that the permanent files might be the richer. The unselfish service and true devotion of the countless Pi Phis in every quarter of the globe, is a source of unending inspiration to the Historian. She wishes that each member could get a glimpse of the development of n B <l> as contained in the historical files! Ours is a heritage of which to be proud!
GRACE FILLER
DIRECTOR OF PI BETA PHI SETILEMENT SCHOOL
TWENTY years ago Gatlinburg was an isolated mountain community, with two small stores, a church and a one room schoolhouse. The people lived on little hillside farms that followed the three creeks that come into Little Pigeon River at Gatlinburg. Little cash changed hands in those days and eggs and chickens were brought to the store to be exchanged for the most necessary household supplies. The school term was short ana the local teachers were equipped with little education for their chosen profession, the only one aside from lumbering, that paid cash. With this short and not too inspiring school year there was naturally an indifference to daily attendance and a strong feeling that any outdoor work was of more importance than a day in school, no matter what the age of the child might be. Yet there was an honest, intelligent, and worthwhile people living here, only needing an understanding of how they could help themselves toward a more satisfying life.
It is easy to understand why efforts the tirst few years were practically all in the grade school. The teachers found it a task to keep pupils in sebool regularly and to maintain anything like a graded school. Not least of their own problems, was that of learning to keep house away from the supplies and cooveniences they had been used to. The school problem never could have been solved but by the friendly visiting done in the homes. The pity is that the time ever comes when we try to understand pupils without a knowledge of the home life and background .
For six years the grade teaching and community work were all that could be attempted. However, plans were being laid for other work . The tirst to take form was the health program . Home economics , agriculture, and crafts fol ·
lowed. Adding a new department a year, as was done for a time, may have been going too fast , but all seemed worthwhile and money did come in to finance them. A report of the development of anyone of these departments would make interesting reading.
Finally it seemed necessary to take a few boarding students . With this had to come student labor and the supervising of it, whi ch was and caotinues to be no small responsibility. With better grade schools through the mountain sections it is not necessary to take pupils with less than seventh or eighth grade start. There is but One free high school in this large county. With limited dormitory quarters we cannot take more than twenty to twenty-tive boarding pupils. These are chosen from the applicants who live in this county. from 5 to 25 miles from Gatlinburg, who do not live within reasonable distance of a high sebool, who are not on an improved road, and whose parents are not able to give them help. We do not take any town boys and girls. Providing work and a home for these pupils brings more care and expense than any other department, but the largest results.
Little by little, year after year, less thought and money have been expended on the routine school work and more on the vocational, industrial , health, and community work. The county has improved its schools steadily, the school term has been lengthened, local teachers are better prepared, and the county now pays the grade teachers in our school. I feel we should turn over to the county the tirst seven grades, giving them time to make their plans and build a consolidated school in Gatlinburg. With the development of the National Park there are bound to corne many changes. The present, whil e people are moving, would seem the
time to reorganize the county schools of this district.
The mission of any philanthropic institution should be to carry work that cannot be done by the county system. Our grades can be carried by the county; Our other work is of a different character and important, and it surely would be a sufliciently large program to carry.
School
Contrary to usual, attendance in · creased each month during the year. Final reports showed 200 pupils registered, the largest number in the history of the school. Not a small part of this increase was in the grades.
While the attendance officer was very slow in getting to work in the fall and home visiting failed to bring results in every case, we still had a better daily attendance than in other years. Mr. King continually worked for this, in hopes that the daily attendance could be increased enough to allow us another teacher. We missed this by a very few pupils. Three teachers, Eleanor Brabson, Miriam Swann, and Barbara Horton had the primer and six grades; the enrollment was 130. We expect this coming year to add one more grade teacher and put the seventh grade in this building.
The P.T.A. women again furnished the noon lunch for the primary and underweight children in this building. They also raised enough money to have a young married lady come for an hour and a half each morning to prepare for the l unch. The teachers helped during the noon hour and the high schoo l girls took turns in helping with the hand-washing and general clea ning up. Mrs. Conser, who was here during the fall, was of great help in both this and the high school building. The help she gave both teachers and pupils in music meant more than we can tel J. Seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades were taught by Mr. King and Miss Blair. For study we had the large
room that had been the agriculture classroom. The farm shop had been moved into a little shop building near.
In addition to teaching and acting as principal of the school Mr. King coached basketball. Although all the teams our boys play are from four year high schools our boys make a good showing.
Vivian Blair and Mary Rachel Arm· strong added to their regular work glee club for the older boys and girls and an athletic program for the high school girls. TIle girls keep in better health without competitive athletics, as they have not had the systematic train· ing to build them up for basketball and they also carry a heavy work schedule out of school hours. Athletics, in addition to the regular labor program, is hard on the boys too, but they are better able to hold up to it.
We do not make the use of the library that we should. The past year each teacher has kept a selection of books in her room and that seems the best way to manage unless we find we have some person on the staff who can give a little time regularly to the library.
Sugariands and Fork-of-the-River will not have schools the coming year. They arc in the Park area and com· paratively few families are left there. As they have moved out, the cabins have been torn down. The few children left in these places will be brought to Gatlinburg school. There will be a truck [rom Cherokee Orchard, too, we think. These chi ldren wi ll fi ll our g rade bui lding, but the extra teacher the coun· ty will allow us can take care of the increase.
Dormitory
While the dormitory is one of the places where some of the finest training can be given, 1 have not fclt that we have accomplished what we may reasonably expect in the work with the girls. Our aim has always been toward a model home life and a place
where we can give the girls careful training in home making. The cottage has become too crowded; there is no place for quiet reading or study or for a girl to have a few minutes to herself. The evening study hour is held in the dining room.
In this cottage forty.five take their meals, and the housemother, one or two cooks, and fifteen girls live. In trying to solve the problem I have come to the conclusion that it would be better to limit the number of girls living there to ten.
Mrs. Rorex, the housemother, feels that she has too inuch responsibility . She plans the meals, looks after the girls ' work in both kitchen and dining room, and has all the care of the dormi · tory girls except during study hour. This is a trying position and scarcely ever does anyone feel she (aD take it for more than two years. If it were possible to have a housekeeper who could care for the dormitory girls, supervise some of their out-of-school work, look after the linens and give a little much needed attention to the laundry work, it would be a great help. All the girls need more training in housework than can be given them under the present conditions. If there could be a solution here, I am sure all would be happier.
The boys' dormitory is muc h more satisfactorily arranged and the boys' work during the year proved this. Miss Glover, the housemother, also gave time in the high school study room. During the school year the boys were able to do nearly enough work to keep up with their expenses , so during the summer we had but one ooy working on the place. This kept the number of boarders down and it was better to hire what added labor was necessary. The coming year we will again limit the number of dormitory boys to ten.
Home Economi(J
The same program was carried in this department as has been the custom.
The mornings were given to high school work. The afternoons were used for visiting, community home eco· nomics classes and work in connection with PTA., Better Homes, etc.
The afternoon classes were in Gat· linburg, two in McCookville, about five miles from here, and one in Ban· ner, three miles away. This is a field where much can be done and I would be sorry to see the evening school classes discontinued but we may find a cut will have to be made in this department. It has been possible only be· cause of the generous allowan ce the State Department gives for the Eve· ning School work, which they offer us again for next year. I hope we can add two new communities to Our list of evening school classes .
Agriculture
A University of Tennessee professor told us not long ago that Smith·Hughes Agriculture in Gatlinburg was some· thing very different from the usual high school work. No doubt he was right, for it does combine many different kinds of work and carries more than the usual amount of responsibility.
The mornings are devoted to the Agriculture classes for seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades . These thirtythree boys have the usual cJassroom work and in addition practical lessons here on the farm. In addition each boy carries a home project that must be checked on often. We are proud of the stock judging teams the past year. The dairy team represented Sevier County at the East Tennessee Division contest, which means that they scored over several four·year high schools ' teams.
The IT B 4> chapter of the Future Farmers of Tennessee had 21 members. Two meetings were held each month, one given over to a trip to some good farm or to the Agricultural College. Again three of the boys represented the chapter at the state conft:rence in Nash· ville.
Afternoons are given over to evening
school classes in other communities and various calls . Advic e is given on spraying orchards, pruning, care of stock, farm crops, and of course there are numerous calls to see sick cows or horses.
A very satisfactory program was carried in a community fourteen miles from here where the men had asked for some special help. Me. Smith held ten meetings during the winter and the men were really interested in the course, which was "Planning the Farm Program for 1932." Twenty-six farmers were enrolled, but the attendance was not limited to these men.
Last year the farm shop work was more satisfactory than in other years, due in large measure to a shop outside the school building. In addition to the carpenter work, there was simple forge work taught, which the boys enjoyed.
The general care and planning for the farm is carried by the Smith-Hughes teacher. While we have a local farmer who is very good in supervising the work of the boys on the place, a great deal of responsibility has to be carried by Mr. Smith. The farm work helps the boys earn their expenses and gives them practical instruction in farm work and care of stock, especially adapted to the boys of this section.
Health
In October Frances Moore, who had been the nurse for three years, took another position and from then until Virginia Moore came, the middle of March, we were without a nurse. As Miss Moore had been with the Sevier County Health Unit last summer she did not feel she was taking up new work in a new neld.
It is possible to do more public health work these days than some years ago. One of the nrst things each year is to visit the thirteen schools of this district. The county health physician usually makes the examinations and the children are all weighed and measured.
Follow-up work comes and many throats, and teeth are looked after. Chest, thyroid, and baby clinics are held at the Health Center with experienced doctors in charge, and bere again the nurse has plenty of follow-up work.
Summer is the busiest time for various inoculations, although there is a good deal all the year. Clinics are held in all the ncarby communities and it is a surprise to go into a little place where you see only a few houses set down between the hills and nnd eighty people waiting for the nurse.
During the school year a home nursing class is taught in connection with the high school home economics. This past year a new venture was made. Some of the children who were much under weight or had serious physical handicaps were given a half hour rest period twice a day. Five cots were put in the library room and one of the dormitory girls looked after the children. At first they rebelled, saying they didn·t come to school to go to bed, they weren't tired, etc., but they soon became reconciled and in every case the child showed improvement.
The dentist continues to come to the Health Center one Saturday a month and although many people can go to town to a dentist there stiJi seems to be plenty for the dentist to do here.
During the year we have received from the Friends of the Mountain Children $200. Half of this is to be used for special eye and dental work, the other half goes for work with children, especially along the line of nutrition. While many organizations and individuals contribute to this fund, it is of interest to know that the <I' r Sorority gave $1200 last year and hope to make an annual contribution of that much. They feel it is better to assist centers already established and work organized, rather than to carry small individual work.
Again we give our sincere thanks to Lillie Reagan. She is always
and whether we have a nurse or not, keeps things going wonderfully well at the Health Center. Her knowledge of the local conditions is a great help, pecially to a new nurse.
Arr ow Craft
Judging from reports from other schools and shops , a cheerful report from Arrow Craft would seem to be impossible. However, to the joy of all, the shop can report about the usual amount of business. This seems nothing short of remarkable and means that both here and abroad more than usual effort has been made. The past year Miss Allen sent more letters to the clubs and c hapters than ever before and each issue of THE ARROW had articles and cuts telling of the various things for sale. All this brought results.
The usual number of weavers have been retained , even though there are so many other shops in Gatlinburg. Every effort has been made to plan attractive and inexpensive articles and I have but to tell you that in the year 2577 linger towels and 3226 hot mats were sold to convince you that small things have been in demand. The winter has been spent in planning as many things as possible that the clubs can sell at a low price.
During the winter Mrs. Duffield, who lives at the Mountain View Hotel, has had charge of the shop there, with very good results.
Miss Allen is urging all clubs and chapters to have an exhibit of Arrow Craft things when they have their fall Settlement School meeting . The exhibit can be small and, even if nothing is sold, there is sure to be an added interest in the schooL
IV eav in g
Arrow Craft and weaving could really be under the same head ing, as one is so depend en t on the other.
When we found, late in the fall, that Miss Strand could not co me back to
her work, I immediately se nt word to our form e r teac h e r, Mi ss Redding, and within a f ew days she was h ere and ready for work. Knowing the women, the bu sin ess, and the fall rush so we ll she was able to accomplish in a f e w weeks what a new person never could have done.
Alice M cCa rter again help ed with the weaving class for seventh and eighth grade girls. There is no doubt that good work is done by these girls in their weaving, and th e re is not time for it after the girls are in high school.
Mor e than forty weavers are com ing for supplies, making new warps, getting instruction, or bringing in finished products all the time. We have bee n delighted that we could keep so many busy during the year.
A great deal of thought has been given to the buying of supplies so that we could avail ourselves of eve ry bit of discount and save on carrying charges.
The monthly weaving meeting is something anyone would enjoy. At each meeting some definite problem is discussed, such as; laundering linen and wool, making a warp, color combinations. Then time is given for singing, visiting. and of course simple refreshments. From twenty-live to thirty-five attend and it is a social as welJ as educational meeting. Becau se of these meetings and the work done with the women in their homes, the State department allows us $600 each year toward the salary of the weaving teacher .
Office
Each year more work is carried in this offi ce but each year there can be more system. Many things that were new and just being tried out a few years ago have become routine work . The two big pieces of work ca rried by the office are the Arrow Craft and student labor accounts, which take much time on account of detail work. Not least of Miss Cooke' s work is to see that we keep expenditures down as low as pos-
sible and to watch that we do not go over that budget allowance that has had to be sliced year after year. No one could be more conscientious nor have the interest of the school more at heart. Being the financial watch dog isn't always the easiest place to fill.
ExlenIioll
The extension in Sugarlands was again carried by Eva Hathaway, Emily Burton , and Mrs. Belle Hathaway Eva and Emily taught the eight grades and Mrs . Hathaway was the housemother. For the past two years people have been moving out of the Sugarlands, as that is the National Park area. There was even a question of whether the school could continue through the entire year. The few cbildren still living in Sugarlands will be brought by truck to the Gatlinburg school next year, so the County Superintendent tells us. It has been impossible to carry a sat· isfactory community program. for no new interest could be taken when all knew they would move within a short time. Eventually Ollr cottage will be sold to the Park.
For some years the people of Laurel Lick, a community about fourteen miles from here, have been anxious for n B teachers. This past spring fifty-six people signed a paper asking Miss Hathaway to go there to teach and the County School Board approved her appointment. Mattie Huff will teach the lower grades, as Emily Burton does not return this year. The people are fixing a one-room cabin for the girls this fall and say they will build them a cottage in the winter. Laurel Lick offers a splendid field for work and the people are amcious to cooperate in every way possible. Last year Me. Smith had a night class for farmers and each week , no matter what the weather, there was a good attendance. Not only did the men enter into the discussions but they made an effort to put into practice many of the things advised .
Extension allowance had to be left entirely off the budget for the coming year. This does not mean that there was not a thoroughly sympathetic feeling for extension, but that it was necessary to cut in every possible way until times were better and mOre money should come in. The county pays the two teachers and we shall help them in every way we can. Eventually I believe that we can put the extension work back on our program. Mattie and Eva deserve a great deal of credit for going in this fall and carrying the work. At least they know we are behind them in spirit if not financially .
While it is a regret that any work has to be discontinued or hampered because of Jack of funds, it is wonderful that we are able to continue this well. All are so thankful that it is possible to keep on with so much of the work during these hard times.
Community
It seems that each year brings more changes to our community. I wonder many times that the people here have been able to keep the balance they have with the rapid changes that have been thrust upon them It is remarkable that they have been able to cling to so many of their worthwhile things and let so many worthless ones slip by The past year little shops have sprung up on all sides, two dance halls have been opened, dozens of cottages have been built. 111ere are more tourists coming in than ever before and many more week-end pleasure seekers.
A splendid piece of community work could be done by a young man coming here in the summer and devoting his time to the young prople, especially on Saturdays and Sundays . This year we no doubt could have secured such a man through the Friends' Service Association which is training men and women for various kinds of social service. Had our plans been more settled, I should have urged this.
Our little church is doing just as well as it can. There has been talk of a resi-
dent pastor with services each Sunday and this will come before long but just now the people are fearful about obligating themselves to that extent. We have chu rch se rvices twice a month and Sunday School and Young P eople's meetings each Sunday. One need·only go to the Sunday night meeting and see a church full of young people to realize there is a rich field waiting.
During the winter Mr. Mattil coached a young men·s basketball team. The men were really interested and Mr. Mattil was instrumental in providing something stimulating for these men to do three evenings each week.
The P. T. A. women had a rummage sale and bazaar in the fall to raise money for the noon lun ch in the grade building. Later in the year they gave a play which was a success both financially and socially. From both P. T. A. and weaving meetings has grown an interest in many outside things and a willingness on the part of the women to carry any work. Our hopes for civic improvement are surely through these two groups. Bettcr exhibits, bettcr babies, -better crops, better spirit. " Bigger and better than ever" is the Fair slogan. It is hard to estimate the number of people attending, but there are not less than 600 school pupils in the parade and older people and babies are not lacki ng. It is a tremendous piece of work but all feel it has been worthwhile.
Old Timers' Day continues to be one of the most interesting days of the year. We hoped in the beginning we could have one day for the older people when they could get together for visiting and good times and could keep alive some of the old customs. It has really grown beyond our biggest hopes and to be absent from Old Timers' Day is to miss a real treat. The morning is given over to speaking, story telling, singing and business session. In the afternoon there are contests in weaving, spinning, carding, board splitting, corn shuck ing, hog calling, riBe shooting, and almost anything that belonged to the old days.
The church had a homecoming ·and decoration the last Sunday in May. At least five hundred people were served dinner under the trees on our school grounds. The dinner was good, the order was splendid, and all had a good time. We opened the new school building because of drinking fountains and toilet rooms and when I tell you that on Monday morning the building and grounds were as neat as before the homecoming you will agree with me that no 100 per cent examination paper could ever stand for as much as that.
In the winter I asked for a local school committee to be appointed. The P. T. A. named two women and the church two men, a splendid committee. In talking over the school matters not long ago, I found that they had missed very much the "Gatlinburg News'· and felt that it might be possible to work out a plan for financing it and having it pay for itself.
No one has yet approached us about the Sugaclands Cottage but before long it will be bought for the National Park, as it is in the Park area. I am hoping that until the Park needs it we can retain a lease and use it for a rest cottage for the staff. Such privileges are being granted.
Our whole country is urging a "Live at Home Program: · The need of practical education is being emphasized in all sections of the country. The value of . student labor and ways of providing for it is common talk among educators. In our small way we are trying to work along these lines . We must see that this Live·at-Home program brings much more into the lives of our people than merely an improved economic COndition. They are entitled to as full and satisfactory a life as the town can give and they must have it if they remai n happy and take an interest in helping to develop a fuller rural life.
This year we have had several visitors who are spending much time working and studying over the mountain problem . One told me that, to her sur,
prise, her succ ess in the lield the past year had been due to no small extent to the fact that their staff and community people had worked out together a s ixyear plan for their various activities. They may never c arry them to completion, may never want to, but the stimulus and faith in a growing work ca nnot be overestimated . Another well known edu ca tor urged us to concentrate on the fine piece of industri a l and community development we had started, lett in g go the things that could go on without u s. To use her words: " Why continue to do a piece of average grade work the county could now re lieve you of and does pay for when you could accomp lish
so mu ch more along the industrial and vocat ion a l Jines of education if you were not trying to spread yourselves so very thin ?"
We mu s t co ntinuc o n a program of rig id eco nomy . Were tim e s normal, I would not urge large expenditures. The Uling I do plead for is a thorough study of this particular co mmunity as it is tod ay, a large vision of what development we ca n hope to see within the next tcn years. The past twe nty years have brought ch anges-as we w ou ld want them to . We are willing to fa ce them. Are we as r eady and willing to face the new issue? •

MAGAZINE AGENCY
IT IS a pleasant and cheerful task to make the report of the National Magazine Agency for the year 1931 -32, as the total in commissions is the largest of which the National Agent has any record. $1500 was sent to the Settlement School after the expenses of running the agency were deducted. This shows that magazine work is growing in power, and that commissions from it may soon be counted on as a potent factor in the support of the school. More alumnre clubs are patronizing the agency, and the active chapters have made a beginning in the work. Many clubs earned larger commissions than in previous years, due to the fact that more stress was placed on the securing of subscriptions, and that dubs are beginning to realize that a nice proportion of their Settlement School donations may be earned by this easy method. The detai led report of the commissions of clubs and chapters by provinces is given in connection with the report of the Settlement School Treasurer elsewhere in THE ARROW, so that each group may see at a glance their total of gi fts to the school.
This year, in ranking dubs for magazine earnings, two methods have been used: (1) total commission, (2) commission per member. Cards were sent out to club secretaries asking them to send to the National Magazine Agent the number of paid members in their club. Some clubs did not respond to this request, therefore their commission per member could not be calculated. Many clubs with medium or small membership have come to the front in this second method of rating. while some of the larger clubs still hold their place among the first.
The following clubs have earned the largest total commissions:
1. Detroit, $8I.SO--Mrs. F. E. Ehlert, Agent
2. New York , $7S .70--Mrs. D D Fredri ckson, Agent
3. TulsJ.. $ .... 1.60 MI S. W P_ lkcw. Agt:nt
4. St. Louis, $6R .6S Mrs \\' R. Genlr}, Jr., Agent ,. Kansas Cit}' , $66 .60 Mrs H E. Scurlock. Agent
6. Wichita, $57 .SS E. S_ Stephenson, Agent
7. Denver. $47.n Mrs. Arnim Thebus, Agent
8. Washlflgton, D.C., $-ll.US Mrs. D. D. Drain, Agent
These clubs have earned the highest comm ission per paid member:
1. Tulsa, $1.32 per member- -Mrs. W. P. Beeve, Agent
2. Athens, $1.31 per member- Mrs F B. Gullum. Agent
3. Detroit, $1.29 per member Mrs. F. E. Ehlert, Agent
4. Manhattan , $1.0·1 per member- Mrs. C. C. Brewer, Agent
S. Mt. Pleasant, $1.01 per member- Mrs. C. F H ayes, Agent
6. Ann Arbor, .989 per member- Miss J essica Brown, Agent
7 . Atlanta, .98-1 per member- Miss Martha Pratt, Age nt
8. New York, .97 per member Mrs. D. D . Fredricks on, Agent
In both methods of rating, many clubs followed closely afler these eight, and it is a matter of regret that space does not permit them to be mentioned. It would be interesting to figure what the results would have been if all clubs had done as well as the aforementioned eight in each group. Without much mathematics, it ca n be seen that the grand total would have increased many thousands of dollars. The National Magazine Agent wish es to express her appreciation of the steady, dependable work of the agents of all alumna! clubs, as upon their constant efforts depended the success of the agency. Each subscription, no matter how small a commission it gives, adds just that much to our totaL Each one is valuable, in that it gives a renewal for the following year, and if club agents keep their ren ewa ls coming in and secure some new business each year, the commissions mount up amaz-
ingly . So let no club feel dispirited because their co mmission seems low Your earnings 3re appreciated and needed to swell the grand total . and next year, with a little added work. that commission will be larger.
This is the first year the actives have been in the magazine business, and their profits may not seem so gratifying to them However, a beginning has been made. and the National Magazine Agent is proud of the $100.41 from chapters. Ohio 1l with $20.95 in commissions, Washington B with $10.30. and P ennsylvania A with $9.10 are outstanding among chapters in their response to this new line of endeavor . In the future. the path should be increasingly easy. and chapters will be able to count on an income from magazine subscriptions to increase their Settlement School contributions.
In dosing. the National Magazine Agent begs for continued cooperation. and increased orders from all dubs and chapters. Even in times of economic stress, people continue to read maga-
zines, and n B <I» earnings should inc rease steadily. If every reader of THE ARROW would send to the agency her own and her family's magazine subscriptions. n B <!> would have a substantial source of income on which to rely.

Annual Reports of Committees
COMMITIEE ON ENDOWMENT FUND
ALUMNJE ASSOCIATIONS of today are not maintained primarily to coHect and pub lish data or to keep alive associa· tions concer ned only with our past. They are intended to use the ideals and inspirations which college kindled in us to enrich the present and future college life. With thiS in mind the Committee on the Endowment Fund has endeav· ored to carry on during the present con· ditions, feeling sure that contributions received do not indicate the number who are still interested in II B 4>. A member from each province has been chosen to carry on the work in herlar. ticular locality. Much credit shoul go
Sto the loyal Kansas City group who set such a firm foundation upon which we have been able to continue to build. No definite- drive has been carried on this year, but many letters have been sent out, publicity has appeared in the ARROW, and the committee has been work· ing upon a plan to be put forward next year, we hope. Contacts have been made with each alumna! club and with the province vice presidents who have been most generous in their suppo rt. With our Endowment Fund a reality much could be accomplished, and we look forward to that glad day.
HELEN R CoRKUM
COMMITTEE ON EXTENSION
I NCE June, 1931, IT B <I> has had inquiries from the following insti· tutions: Louisiana Polytechnic In st itute at Rushton , Louisiana ; the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; B ethany College at Bethany, West Virginia; Utah State Agri cu ltural College at Log a n, Utah; the University of Western London at London, On· tario; Dalhousie University at Halifax, Nova Scotia; American University at Washington, D.C. ; and Morningside College at Sioux City, Iowa. The inquiries from Morningsid e, Loui siana, and Utah came to the committee from college authorities; in every other case, information was requested by an or· ganized local group. Correspondence with the Pennsylvania group and the group at Ameri ca n University was only a sequel to earlier overtures; the rest opened entirely n ew fields. From each of the two Canadian universities came two inquiries; from each of the others, only one. In addition to these inquiries,
a continued co ntact with M A at Duk e University has been maintained.
The lirst disheartening letter from the chairma n of your Committee on Ex· tension, outlining the long and tedious process of pet i tio ning n B <1>, was ev i· dently interpreted as definite discour· agement by the inquirers from Louisiana Polytechnic In stitute, Bethany College, Utah State Agricultural College, and American University. I t in· voked further correspondence, though, from the Canadian groups and from the group at the University of Pennsylvania. By virtue of their earlier applications, Y I I at the University of Western London and l: 0 IT at D alhousie University took p recedence over A K X and K B if> applying from the same institutions These two and B 4) at Pennsylvania have forwarded to the chairman facts whi ch identify their groups a nd their universities as poui ble fields for II B 4> expansion. Whether or not they shall proceed further de-
pends upon the decision of Grand Council. All three have local Pi Phi support in their endeavors.
M A at Duke was unofficially visited by th e Grand President last fall when she was retu rning from the installation festiviti es at the University of South Carolina. Her repo rt on the group and the university was so very favorable that Grand Council voted to allow M A to continue its contacts with n B <1>. The group seemed well on the road to systematic internal organization, and it offered also a splendid record in scholarship and campus activities . Throughout the winter months M A has been in frequent communication with the Extension Chairman, and the chairman, in turn, has sought to keep in close touch with the group itself and with Pi Phi alumna! in Durham. This spring M A has been allowed to prepare and to circulate its
Tletter of information . There has been a very fine response to the committee's request for statements of opinion based upon the reading of the letter, and the responses in the great majority of cases have been not simply favorable but definitely enthusiastic. Even with this enthusiasm and the support of Durham and Chapel Hill alumn., and Virginia A and North Carolina A however, M A's next step is dependent upon the action of Grand Council in its annual meeting.
Within the committee, the year has been largely one of "getting acquainted"-with each other and with th e work-for Convention brought a decide d change in the personnel of the group. Its chairman trusts , though, that the committee may truly grow in service and continue to assist wisely in raising tllf ··standard brave on high:· CHARLOTTE CROPLEY BROWN
COMMITTEE ON SCHOLARSHIP
H E ROUTINE work of the Committee on Scholarship has been ca rried on in much the same manner as last year. In addition the chairman has had personal contact with several chapters and other chapters have had special help from supervisors. The person nearer the chapter is able to get a more personal view of the special problem and to keep a more accurate check on the situation. Eventually I think most of this work should be carried out by supervisors.
A letter of co ngratulation has been sent to each of the eight lirst place chapters: Alabama A, Iowa r, Michigan B? North Carolina A, Pennsylvania r, Virginia A, Wi sconsi n B, and Wyoming A. Three of these same chapters, Mi chigan B, North Carolina A, and Wi sco nsin B also held lirst place the previous year. In addition to these, Illin ois A, Kans as B, Michigan A, Mi ssouri r, Oklahoma B, and W est Virginia A held first place for one semes· ter.
The scholarship report to the Com· mittee on Standardization shows the following rank for the provinces: Zeta, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Iota, Eta, Lambda, Epsilon, Theta, Kappa, Mu, Alpha. Two provinces, Epsilon and Lambda, had no chapter in the lower third. Gamma Province had two first place chapters and Beta, Delta, Zeta, Eta, Theta, and Iota one each . These reports are all based on grades for the co llege year 1930-1931.
Of the seventy-live chapters for which this report is made (the new chapters, South Carolina A and Alberta A, are not included) eight held first place, eighteen were in the upper third, twenty-seven in the middle third, twenty in the lower third, and one was in absolute last place. No comparative rati ng is given at Franklin College. Our aim is to increase the number of chapters in the upper and middle thirds ana decrease those in the lower third.
As regards coope ration, Colorado A, Louisiana A, Massachusetts A, M ic hi·
gan B, Missouri A, New York A, North D akota A, Ohio a, Oklahoma B, P ennsylvania r. W ashi ngto n A, Washington B and West Virginia A were so very prompt with all reports that they deserve special mention.
A matter under consideration at the present time and which will require
Eco nsiderable study before it is worked out) is a method of grading for schola rship so that the ultimate grade will reBect several different factors and wilJ be in effect a better check on the quality of work done by chapters _

COMMITfEE ON TRANSFERS
A CH YEAR seems to bring more transfers than th e previous one. This year nin ety-seven h ave been reported_ Eight was the largest number in any sc hool with Michigan B, Tex as A, an d Ca liforni a a each ha ving that numbe r Forty chapters reported no transfers.
There were o nly f ou r chapte rs not answering any of my inquiries. It is by far the best r espo nse this committee h as had and not far from th e perfect m a rk.
In answer to the information asked each c h apte r co nce rning m embe rs attending sc hools e lsew here) forty- s ix w ere r epo rted attending sc hools where
there were II B <I' chapters. The chapters were give n this information and it seems to have helped locate the Pi Ph is on their camp us.
A s in former years, not many transfers have notified this committee of their transfering to an othe r school. In the few cases who did, the n ew chapter h as been informed immediately and helped in finding a r esidence for the school year. It would make it so much easier for th e transfer and would h elp her become adjusted to her new co ll ege if she wou ld take adva ntage of this co mmittee.

COMMITTEE ON HEALTH PROGRAM
THE Health Program Committee is co nsidering ways and means of making each fraternity member realize that health is acquired and maintained , not by chance, but by studied care. Of course some girls are gifted with much better physiques than others, but even they must learn to guard their
health and not dissipate their heritage by careless living . 1n receiving health reports from the various chapters this spring the chairman has been saddened in noting how frequently a chapter reports that an active member has dropped out of college because of tuberculosis, heart disease, or a nervous
break-down. It makes her realize that the committee has a real job in health education ahead.
This year the committee continued the general Health Contest as was done the previous year, but in order that the Health Cup may be awarded biennially at Convention we are this year basing our award on the health average of a chapter over two college terms of five months each. Forty-six chapte rs entered the Health Contest. all endeavoring to keep days lost by illness down to the minimum. Alpha Province had 7 entrants: Beta, 4; Gamma, 4; Delta, 3; Epsilon, 4; Zeta, 3; Eta, 2; Theta, 5; Iota. 2 ; Kappa . 5; Lambda. 3; and Mu. 4. R etu rns for the first five months
were complete on April 15 , and twenty-live of the chapters have already sent me their records for the first term. The committee is at present working out a set of health rules to guide each individual girl. and the chai rman hopes to have them ready by next fall. It is planned to incorporate in it some rules for the attainment of mental as well as physical health
Miss Beatrice Hall is preparing menu suggestions for the use of fraternity houses, so that girls in resid ence may have the benelit of a diet contain ing sufficient minerals, vitamins, and calories to insure good nutrition.

H E ADVISORY committee o n chapter finances, house building and plans has a very meager report to make for 193 2. It might be well to mention again the four divisions of our work and their development as decided upon by the committee three years ago.
First. Answering all inquiries from chapters and alumn., clubs. In 1930 we had correspo nden ce with eight chap. ters; in 1931, with e leven chapters; Ifi 1932 , with one group, Wyoming A, who wished some aid in refinancing.
Second. Questionnaires to all chap. ters to obtain detailed information on Pi Phi housing, costs of same, finances, etc. This completed r eport was pre· sented in Annual R eport of 1931.
Third. Proffer of aid to any chapters who expect to build in near future.
TThis committee has had co nsiderable correspondence with South Dakota A, who wishes to build as soon as able. They report in Febru ary, 1932, that they are incorporating as a social organization, have purchased lots, and have a building fund of $3500.
FOtlrth. Study of chapter budgets; chairman of this committee has spent a great deal of time this past year work· ing on budgets and becoming familiar with the Busey system used by chapters. She now feels able to help intelligently any chapter seeking aid and hopes to work out something this next year with the sur.ervisor of chapter accounting, that WIll aid chapters in making their budgets.

COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS
H ERE HAVE been three new things under our sun-Uniform Duties for Chaperons, Chaperon Cards, and the transferring to this committee of all data on chaperonage.
The uniform duties were formulated by Grand Council at the post·conven·
tion meeting. In behalf of all chape. rons, I extend sincere thanks to those responsible for this excellent guide. In the discharge of one's duties, one (even an experienced one) feels a moral support in the fact that there is consensus of opinion on what those duties are;
an inexperienced chaperon must find such a compilation a very present help either in or out of trouble!
Chaperon cards are filled out by chapter corresponding secretaries givin g house address and chaperon name, a ny change of chapero n during the year to be reported at o nce Perhaps th ei r new n ess was a co ntr ibuti ng cause to the fact that only a few were in when due, October I. An S.O.S., and then others, and s ix mo nth s' time were needed to get a l! cards in . How abou t all officers read in g and h eed ing the ARROW ca le ndar ? In ge neral the ca rds were weI! fil!ed Out. I app r eciate the accuracy, promptness, and politeness of many chapters, but I am sorry to say that some were inaccurate and messy and that some did not bother to excuse, exp l ai n, o r regret their tardin ess.
Th e files of vacancies and applications were transferred from the office of th e Grand President to this co mmittee and Mi ss Ade le Murphy, than whom no o ne cou ld be more altogeth e r
acceptable, was appointed to the com· mittee, particularly to care for the work from June to September.
It is gratifying to report that few changes of chaperons are in prospect in the forty-seven chapters now maintaining houses. Frequent com ings and goi ngs of chaperons are h ard o n a chapter.
Th e great hope of this chairman is that chapero ns (in addition to having all virtues and no vices) may be co llege women of wide expe ri e nce so that they may be to cha pte rs what d ea ns are to th e col!eges. Thi s wish may be as visionary as Cato 's CarJhago delenda eft- but Carthage was destroyed!
I wish to thank Mrs Stark for her mo nthly lette rs bringing news of the other comm ittees, hel pfu l suggestions, and refr eshing humor. T o Mi ss Onken lo we a debt of gratitude for h e r unfailing appreciation of the position of chaperon and of us as individuals in our efforts to maintain the standards of IT B <1>.

COMMITIEE ON EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
THE Co mmittee on Educational Requirements ha s no report to m ake except that its members have been in corresponden ce relative to the plan of ca mpaign to be undertaken next year to put the question of educational requirements fo r members of Grand Council be for e chapt ers, clubs, and the fraternity at large. It is planned to give opportunity for thorough discussion of both sides of th e question, to ask fo r
reports from clubs, c h apters, and individual alumnre who may ca re to take part in th e discussion. and on th e basis of material thus gathered to make a report to Convention which may be the basis of Convention action, if that is d esi r e d . Already one letter on the subject has been receive d through the Grand Presid ent and is fil ed for committee co nsid eration .

Annual Reports of Province Presidents
ALPHA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
THE PRESIDENT of Alpha Province has attempted to carry on the work as Mrs. Campbell did, in the hope of emuJating to a small degree her success with the chapters. She owes Mrs. Campbell much for her many lette rs and her words of advice when the work was all so new. To Miss Onken, too, Alpha Province President is deeply grateful for the opportunity to work for II B <I> and for the help and sympathetic understanding she has shown during the past hectic year in business and professional circles, as well as in the colleges and homes.
Two aims were stressed early in the fall. Scholarship was the major project for Alpha Province with activities in second place. On the whole we are encou r aged with results. At midyears New York A had advanced eight places in relative standing. Vermont B raised its standing three places, and four members made II r M. At Ithaca the ranks at midyears were better than previously. At Maine after midyears nine of the g irl s were on the Dean's Lis t ( w ith a B or better), none were below C, and the chapter average was 2.8, a Irnost a B. At the same time, with the exception of three freshmen, no one at 1\1iddlebury had an average of less than 78 per cent. They r aised their scholarship rating one point and have come up one point in the relative standing of sororities o n the campus. However, there is still much to be done, for Vermont B alone is in the upper third , while there are three chapters in Alpha Pro\' in ce still in the lower third
The honors and activities have been many. Maine A has used the point sys · tern of activities this year, with the re· suit that each member has been engaged in at least two activities, and the further
result that Pi Phis hold several of the major campus offices for the next year. New York A has made a fine start in getti ng back into activities. Three years ago this chapter held about every important office on the campus. At the suggestion of th e administration, activities were not stressed; however, this year the girls have had several honors and expect more next year. They are working in the right direction. While the list of activities at Vermont B may not be long it is, however, impressive. Vermont A has been well represented in campus affairs. The number of their activities and honors is legion. Massachusetts A made strides this year in the matter of extra-curricular activities. New York r finds its greatest satisfaction this year in its activities. New York !:l. has more than its share of activities. Either during the past year or for the next, Pi Phis of Alpha Province have a president of W.A.A., president of A.A., president of Mummers, president of Mortar Board, and president of Poetry Club. Several have been active in student government affairs, in class activities, and in dramatics. Athletic honors have been many, with one active receiving a sweater for her ability and sportsmanship. Pi Phis have presidencies of dormitories and student houses, a graduate fellowship in Spanish, a scholarship for study in France, several members active in Y.W.CA. and similar religious organizations. We have three invited to membership in l: M l:, the honorary pathological society; three to Mortar Board; one to T K A; one to Raven and Serpent, a junior honorary society; and one chosen for a place on the United States Fencing Team for the 1932 Olympics. In addition to mem-
berships In honorary societies, Pi Phi bas the presidency of :£ A I , honorary music fraternity, presidency of Z 4> II , honorary speech fraternity, and vice presidency of B II 0. On pub lications Pi Phi is well represented . This year finds three or four with the dist inctio n of being the first woman editor or business manager or associate business man · 3.gcr, as the case may be.
Each of the dupters had a successful rushing seaso n . Almost every ch apter has had as one of its prob lems this year the matter of finan ce s, but by rcbudgeting and being very careful no c hapter closes the year "i n red ."
BAlpha Province boasts a new house during the past year. Vermont B is now added to the list of chapters having fraternity homes.
The relations with th e alumna:- and the chaperons have been for the most part very cord ial. Next year the alumnre around Ithaca hope to form a club. The actives are looking forward to this nc:w o rganizat ion with hope and e nthusiasm.
The three whose letters and replies make the life of a p rovince p reside nt a joy a rc N ew Y ork A, New York A, and M aine A.
ELEANOR MARCH MOODY
BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
ETA PROVIN CE PRESIDENT'S chapte r visits were a delight and made early in the schoo l year, before Christmas, so that there was amp le time to put n ew p lans into effect.
Beta Province was "dep ression co n· scious," during this schoo l year, but ce r· tain chapters were affected more than others. With due apologies to Edgar A Guest, we might say:
Sinr e Ihe bank auo ,,"1 has dwindled we'te diuovued al au' doo, A tariely of bieHings u hirh u'e'd never imown before. W'" e','e diuol ered games an d p:lflin and olher forms of play Make glo,ioUJ eUlerlainment, for uhirh fa· th er ,uedll't P.Jl.
Alld we're rirher now in spirit th an we et 'er thoughl we'd be, B ound uith bondJ of trut dnotion to our Pi Phi family.
But the finan c ial stringency did not effect th e size o f chapters , nor th e ca li · be r of their n ew members. Each chapter boasted a large, fine group of pledges whose att itud e toward th eir co ll ege work was se ri ous and grat ifying . P erhaps th e depression made itself fe lt more in the social Ii fe o f the g rou ps than e lsew h e re, which brought th eir re · source fuln ess into play TIle gi rl s had f ewe r parties but their in ge ni ous ness
resulted in real old fashioned [un. The pledges a t Ohio A gave a "depressio n dance" fo r the chapte r that cos t only $1.00 in actual money and was the talk of the campus.
Beta Province would like to have n o ne of its c hapters rank be low third place in scho la rship on its campus and it is working dili gen tly to reach th at goa l. Ohio A and P e nn sylvania r sta nd first on th e irs a nd Ohio B is fourth . Th e other ch ap te rs are in the midd le third group, with o n e in the low er third. Each chapter prepared a grap hi c ch a rt showing its schol a rs hip ranki ng ove r a period of not less th an fi ve years, which it is hoped will ultimately inspire the groups to g reate r effo rt.
Th e chapters have done especially well in ext ra ·curr icu lar ac tiviti es, rece iving many hon o rs We h ave four Phi Beta K appas; three members of Mortar Board, including o ne president-a nd several sc holar shi p awards. Some of ou r gi rls ho ld offICes in th e W .S.G.A. and Y .W .CA., as well as memberships in various honor a ry fr ate rniti es; presidents of hous es and dormitories; departmental honors and comm itt ee ch airmans hi ps.
All chapters se nt co ntribution s to the Settlem ent School, some matching the amounts given in previous years. Penn-
sylvania A and P ennsylvania B each co ntributed to the Endowment Fund, and all but three sent financial a id to the Loan Fund. One of our regrets is that we are not 100 per cent in our contributions to all three funds this year.
Only three chapters have houses and cnaperons. Ohio A is retaining its same chaperon and in this respect is most fortunate, for Mrs. Smith is a Pi Phi mother and is loved by all the girls. So practical has been her management of the commissary department that their banquets never ca ll for extra assessments and at the end of the year she turns money over to the chapter. Neida Bowyer M cCullough of Mt. Pleasant, West Virginia, will be the chaperon at West Virginia A replacing Miss Craig who has served the chapter several years most efficiently. The province is sorry to lose Mrs. Mylander, charming and well thought of in the university c ircl e, who has played such a prominent part in the development of Ohio B. Beta Pro vince's Joss will, we trust, be some other province's gain. Mrs. William Ekin of New York City will take her place.
This same depression caused a slump in the newspaper work of the province, but, in spite of adversity, five of the
Tseven chapters issued their annual publications. This is such a fine way foc the chapters to keep in touch with their own alumnre and each other that it is hoped the custom will be per petuated. In almost every case Beta Province President has had perfect cooperatio n from the Alumn., Advisory Boards. These members give of their time and strength unstintingly and as some one has said, "it is anything but a position of g lory ." Their efforts have been productive of smooth running, well developed chapters, and the province president wishes to thank each group for its assistance during the past year_
Conferences with the deans of women were in all instances pleasing and satisfying Without exceptions the deans reported Pi Phi as a perfectly fine group, quick and willing to cooperate, and not a single one had problems to discuss.
The chapters have coope rated cheerfully and well making work a pleasure at aU times. The province president is younger for her contacts with the girls and wiser for those with Grand Council. Miss Onken's gracious understanding and constructive answers to SOS l etters during the year were most appreciated.
MARIE W. STEBBINS
GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
HE year of 1931-32 has been increasingly interesting and increasingly busy, in spite of the loss of the three Florida thapters, whom Gamma Province President hated to give up. The altered plan of correspondence belped keep us in closer touch with one another without adding to the burden of the chapters concerned.
Each chapter president and corresponding secretary wrote the province president regulae monthly letters, the presideot stressing personal items, and the corresponding secretary attending more particularly to the business sidereports of officers to the province presi-
dent and to national, meetings of committees, and so forth At times following the co nclusion of their special work , the other chapter officers and the chairmen of comm ittees sent a detailed report. In addition to these work-a-day letters , personal notes often reached the province president to brighten her days and to keep up her familiar contact with her groups.
All Gamma Province President trips were made during the early fall and winter so that we could learn to like each other as soon as possible . That makes letter-writing on both sides so much easier! Gamma Province President
wishes to comment on Putman's invaluabl e aid to her and to the chapters this spring when she traveled to eac h group in this province . Without excep· tion, the chapters wrote enthusiastic letters about her personally and about her inspirational aid , and each one of them was enabled to do better those things that make up fraternity life because of her friendship. She found their weaknesses and smoothed out rough places with splendid suggestions Especially did the province need her suggestions for the bettering of scholarship.
The province has a very line record of Phi Beta Kappas. Virginia A had one, Virginia r two , and North Carolina A two. Other outstanding honors are : president of "Hour Glass," honorary activities fraternity (D. C. A) ; two editors·in-chief of annuals (D. C. A and Virginia A) ; president of Women 's Student Government (North Carolina A); president of Mortar Board (Virginia r) ; prominent stars in dramatics (Maryland A and Virginia r) ; president of the Dramatic Club (Maryland A) ; and seven representatives in May courts (Virginia A, Virginia r. and South Carolina A).
All chapters have made contributions to Settlement School, only one falling below fifty dollars. All but two have contributed to Loan Fund. District of Columbia A's record here is very fine. They sent fifty dollars early in the year and later, realizing how worthy was this fund this particular year, they added fifteen dollars to their original sum. I wish that I might report one hundred per cent contribution to the Endowment Fund, but perhaps another year will see this materialize.
It has been delightful to receive again this year the issues of the Gamma Province publication, the Arrowette. Some issues were in the form of newspapers, some of magazines, and one a letter by several chapter members with snapshots enclosed. lWO deserve mention. District of Columbia A was happy in being ap-
pointed February as their month for publication, and their issue was an attractive number founded on George Washington and including interesting items on the bi centennial of his birthday . South Carolina A sent out the April issue, a charming '" baby book.'"
The installation of South Carolina A provided a wonderful renewing of Convention contacts and a happy inspiration for all Pi Phis fortunate enough to be able to attend . North Carolina A was present en maJJe with only two exceptions. Besides the thri II of assisting Our beloved Miss Onken to initiate and of first welcoming a new group into our fraternity , the guests had a delightfully social time with teas, banquet, reception, and dan ce . Installation means seeing n B if> with suddenly fresh eyes and realizing anew the deep meaning that fraternity signifies. All returned better fraternity members because of that experience, inspired as only such events as installation and Convention can inspire. and spurred to greater effort.
It is at su ch times, too, that one becomes conscious that the best possible development has never been realized by any chapter. Chapters run two great risks: one, of becoming too satisfied with themselves as they exist, and the other, of growing careless in the choosing of new members. overlooking the truth that a gid must possess mOre than personal attractiveness and more than scholastic excellence to make her worthy fraternity material. It is so possible to find a happy mixture for the two in an individual; and it is so necessary to develop real individuals and personalities if one would have a strong c hapter.
The province president found enthusiastic pledges in all her chapters, who can become fine active members. If actives do not forget their responsibilities with regard to the pledges, this is certainly possible; and an important point to remember is never to ask more of pledges than you are willing to give yourselves.
Since the heavy demands of my school work are increasing. I find it impossible to continue as president of Gamma Province. It is with a very real regret that I give up my chapters, for I have made friends with whom I am reluctant to lose contact, and I have rejoiced in my work among my chapters. They have made life infinitely more interesting and fraternity more meaningful. I shall be wishing them continued prac tice of those things which we have discovered
Wto be worth while and increasing suc· cess as chapters and as individuals. Again I mention Miss Onken as the loveliest of Pi Phis and the embodiment of that for which we stand. It has been a privilege to work so closely with her. I appreciate the cooperation of all our national officers and of my chapters in Gamma Provin ce; and I am grateful for the oppo rtunity of serving n B <I> with them.
HAruuET D SMITH
DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
H EN so many people are suffe ring because of the present economic stress it may seem a paradox to say that the co ll eges are apparently benefiting from it. Among all students there seems to be a new seriousness of purpose, and this is reflected in the chapters in Delta Province.
One yea r's exper ience as a prov ince officer and attendance at Convention have no doubt made Delta Province President more sensitive to problems, but she has only admiration (or the active chapters, clubs, advisory boards, mothers' clubs, and individual Pi Phis who give of their time and energy to direct and achieve for our fraternity. Individ ua l c hapters may lose in some particular phase of fraternity endeavor, but because of the cooperat ion of all of these groups, Delta Province witnesses continued growth .
It was the pleasure of Michigan A and Mi chigan B to entertain a national officer this year. Mrs. Stark , Grand Secretary, proved to be a living example of "national viewpoint" whi ch was inspiring to these groups. The province president's visits have been supplemented by monthly reports from chapter officers and committees, with other lett ers as the situation might demand.
Michigan B continues to hold first place in scholarship on its campu s, but it is the only c hapter whi ch ca n boast of a first place. Ind iana B has achieved a signal honor, though, by rai sing its com-
petitive rank from the lower third to the upp er third, and it has visions of a first place. Of the four remaining chapters two are in the upper third and two are in the lower third of socially competing women's fraternities. In every chapter Pi Phi can boast of individual honors in scholarship and, in general, one or two girls have co ntributed to the low rank of the chapter.
In no instan ce has the province president found it necessary to curtail extracu rricular activities, and in only one case has it been necessary to encourage the chapter along this line of endeavor. On every campus II B <I> can boast of leaders and in some chapters participation in activities is general. Every girl should realize the value of some campus interest to her personal development as well as to the achievement of her chapter. This is the goal of the chapters where we have the most healthy attitude toward participation in activities . It would take too much space to mention all of the honors which have come to members of n B <1>, but there is indication of well rounded interests with representation in dramatics , journalism , debating, athletics, Y.W.C.A.'s, self government associations, etc. With all of this ability and service, social life is Dot neglected , for there have been May queens, prom queens, beauty representatives, and other honors in the social life of the various campuses.
Five of the six chapters in this prov-
inee maintain chapter houses. The condition is the same as last year, and there are no indications of immediate developments. Indiana r has moved to a new location, which is much more adequate. The other chapters own their homes, and in the cases where there is a need of better housing conditions we will have to wait for mOre propitious times. The province can boast of financial soundness for every c hapter, and this year th ere has been a real endeavor to economize in chapter expenditures, by more simple entertainment and more careful supervision.
All chapte rs have efficient and charming chaperons, who have contributed to chapter development. In every case they arc zealous for the interests of 11 B 11>. although they may not be members. Such warm affection and interest is certa inly not the result of the small pittance which these women receive for their services, but the fact that they believe in youth and in the ideals of Our fraternity. After all it is to these splendid women that active Pi Phis turn for counsel and guidance in their personal problems and so the position of chaperon is very important to the life of any chapter.
The deans of women are to the chapter what the chaperon is to the individual, and it makes a province president very happy indeed when the dean linds it possible to comment on the fine cooperation of the Pi Phi chapter. Delta Province President has found such expression this year, and in those chapters where comment was not as favorable as we would like a goal has been set which should result in a new record.
It is the pleasure of Delta Province President to report one hundred per cent cooperation from the Advisory Boards. Such an achievement represents the very splendid work which these women are doing. It is a common belief that we can count on a fine chapter, if there is alumnre support and a well Organized advisory board which functions .
There h as been continued growth in loyalty to the national fraternity. Every chapter in this province contributed to the undergraduate loan fund and to the Settlement School, with one chapter doubling its contribution of former years to the altruistic work of the fraternity. There are other evidences of a united spirit, such as state luncheons in both Mi chigan and Indiana to celebrate Founders' Day. This year the four chapters in Indi ana have cooperated in sending a letter to all isolated Pi Phis living in the state enJisting their support in rush, and for the first time there were exchange delegates for initiation. Triumphs entirely obscure failures and the province is facing a new year with hi gh hop es for the future. The province president appreciates the fine loyalty of the chapters in the province and their courtesy. In every way they have shown a spirit worthy of Pi Phi, and she wishes she cou ld express to all of the national agencies and officers her sincere feeling for their support and assistance. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to serve h er fraternity as province president. She feels sure that she has gained more in friendships and understanding than she has been able to give.
MILDRED TINGLEY BEI SEL
EPSILON PROVINCE PRESIDENT
THE work with the chapters of Epsilon Province this year has been a joy. With one exception, Epsilon Province President visited the chapters in the fall. Being new in the work, she was anxious to know the girls, their problems, accomplishments, and aims. She found a splendid spirit and a desire to coope rat e. Though the schoo ls vary in enrollment and type, she found all chap. ters maintaining n B <I> standards and striving for its ideals.
Scholarship in the province varies rather widely. Some chapters, not mak · ing a good showing as chapters, have unusual individual records. Tennessee A holds an enviable record in scholar· ship this year, all but two members ap· pearing on the honor roll for receiving no grade lower than C. Kentucy A holds first place among national women's fraternities, one local chapter holding a higher average. Two members of Missouri r received scholarships in music. Other chapters in lower positions as to rank are striving to improve their standing. We hope when final grades for the year are in to find they have been successful. Missouri A and Missouri B initiated a large percentage of their pledges.
In activities, the chapters of Epsilon Province arc well represented. Missouri B is continuing the use of the point system originated by them. They are out· standing on their campus in activities. Honors won include: Tennessee A. one member of Alpha, high es t scholastic honor awarded a senior, scholarship in organ, scholarship in voke, one! 6. TI , one 0 A 11 ; Kentucky A, two members senior society corresponding to Mortar Board, vice president of W.S .G.A ., Panhellenic award for most outstanding freshman on the campus, president junior class , vi c e president senior class, house manager of Playhouse; Missouri A, one Mortar Board, secretary -treasurer candidate of student body, God · dess of Agriculture, president of 4> Y 0, one A Z n ; Missouri B, one 4> B K, one Mortar Board, Hatchet Queen, one member junior scholastic organization; Missouri r, four members senior honorary organization, editor college paper, associate editor yearlx>ok, president of women 's administrative council, president and vice president W . A. A .
As to rushing, the material available this year was unusually good. The pledge groups were in most cases larger but very strong. On the whole the per· centage of pledges initiated was high and the pledge grades encouraging . At
Drury, after one year of second semester pledging, Panhellenic voted to have short rushing next season. The province president is pleased at the type of girl co ming to the schools in the province . The chapters have shown good judgment in their selection, leaving personal feeling out of their rushing Panhellenic relations have been amiable this yea r. But in some schools Pan hellenic is not functioning , in that it does not punish for infringement of its own rules.
The dean of women in most cases was complimentary. "Clean rushing" can be the boast of every chapter in the provo ince. Each dean said that she felt that she had the cooperation of the chapter. In most cases the chapter is quite close to the dean.
All chapters are in satisfactory financial condition. Missouri A, the only chapter living in a chapter house, was able to redu ce house bills for part of the year. Missouri r has an attractive new apartment; Tennessee A has completely refurnished its house ; Kentu cky A has done some redecorating.
The responsibility of the work with these chapters and their advisory boards has heightened my interest in and ap· preciation of 11 B 4>. The chapter officers have had, in almost every instance, the cooperation of the chapter members . Each chapter has accomplishments of which it may well be proud and plans for attaining their desired goals. The province president wants to thank the chapters for their courtesy and cooperation. Advisory Boards are one of the most remarkable parts of our organization. Their co ntinued interest and untiring efforts through the years is an inspiration to all of us to carry on. The association with the members of the Ad · visory Boards has been a co nstant source of pleasure. May Epsilon Province Presi · dent express her appreciation to Grand Council and to the members of the fra· ternity for the honor of serving n B cJ> , and to Miss Onken for her help and un· failing patience.
loRETTE CHAPMAN TERRElL
ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
TH E one year spent by Zeta Provin ce Pres ident working the four chap. ters in hcc province will always be a cherished memory. It has deepened h e r love and appreciation of n B experi· eoced many successes and some failures, and a host of new friends. If Zeta Prov o in ce President has been able to return a little of the inspiration and enthusiasm for fraternity ideals and work given her by her chapters, she will feel that her efforts have been worth while.
During the past year each of the chap· ters in Zeta Province has had its offi· cia l visit ; Florida r has had one unoffi· cia l visit and Florida A about fifteen . The chapters were fortunate to have visits from national officers whose can· crete suggestions were most helpful. Mrs. Putman visted Florida A , Florida B, and Florida r, and Mrs. Stark visited AlabamaA.
Scholarship is fairly good in the provo in ce . Alabama A holds first place on its campus. Florida A and Florida reach hold second place.
Work in extra-curricular activities has been splendid; a detailed report of honors is much too long to be enumerated here. Activities cover a wide field and Pi Phis have held important offices in student government, Y.W . C . A. , classes, athletics, dramatics, music, schoo l papers, annuals, May D ay, and other celebrations.
Alabama A has a beautiful new chap·
Fter room in the Woman's Building . Florida r has rented a lovely colonial house, situated on one of Winter Park 's beautiful lakes for next year. Florida B co ntinues in its adequate chapter house, and Florida A st ill has its chapte r room over the library.
Deans of women were very com plimentary and felt that Pi Phis were de· cidedly a power for good on their reo spective campuses. In every instance the deans spoke of the coope ration that they had from chapters .
Chapter officers, executive councils, and alumna! advisory boards have f unctioned well and worked diligently to make their chapter a success.
Alumrue clubs continue to prove a great help to their chapters in many phases 01 fraternity lile
All of Zeta Province chapters, except one, have worked and contributed to the Settlement SchooL
May Zeta Province President take this opportunity to express her appreciation of the friendships and loyalty of her chapters. Their many courtesies and kind hospitality extended her during her visits will never be forgctten. She wants to thank Grand Council for the privilege of serving the fraternity. To Miss On· ken for her inspiration and understanding, and all other members of Grand Council, her humble thanks are offered.
REBEKAH STEWART
ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
OllOWING Convention last summer, Eta Province finds itself much changed. It is much sma ll er, seven c hapters, a1l in Wi sco nsin and Illinois, and it has the name changed from Epsilon to Eta. Since "all great things corne about through changes" it must be headed in the right direction.
During the fall the province president visited five of her seven chapters. This has been most helpful, as she has had a real knowledge of the girls to whom and about whom she has written. Besides, this has made a much more personal relation possible.
Because of her nearness to Illinois A and Illinois B·A, she did not visit them until February, officially. However , she made many unofficial visits which she thoroughly enjoyed. It has been a real
pleasure to enjoy knowing these two chapters so well, and she has found them most cooperative and responsive. Mrs. Stark has also visited three of the chapters, and the province president only wishes that th e others might have had the inspirat ion of her visits.
Three chapters h aving houses e njoyed the same chaperons they hav e had for severa l years. Mrs. White was new at Northwestern and has been of value to the chapter.
These seven chapters have had such a quantity of honors com ing to them that it is impos sib le to mention any but a few of the most represe ntative. Th ere have been three Phi Beta Kappas, two Mortar Board s, one chairman of W.S.G.A., the winner of state aratorial co ntest, five officers of Y.W.C.A., one president of W.A.A., four representatives on W.S .G.A. cou nc ils, three presidents of Players' Clubs, and one editor of U niverJity Daily. The list includes honors in every branch of educational work, social honors, such as chairman of Junior prom, chairman of homecoming. and battalion sponsor. The province is well represented in all lines of endeavor.
There was an unusually large number of freshm e n of fraternity material this past year. Perh aps the eco nomi c situation has sent more than the usual number of girls to college. All of these pledges, have not been able to be initiated, as they have not been able to make th e required ave rages. A worthy goal for every chapter next year shall be to have all their pledges eligible for initiation. Howeve r, in two chapters, the highest grade in the classes was held by the freshm an group.
Two chapters have been able to hold first place on their respective campuses in scholarship, one of these for the seventh consecutive semester. Another has held second place. Still another has raised its place from thirteenth to fifth . Various methods have been employed in
all chapters to conquer this (ammon problem, raising the scholarship and the n keeping it raised. Some of these ways and means are effective, others valueless.
With only one exception, Eta Province President has had perfect cooperation from all the Advisory Boards This coope ration is reBected plainly in the strength of the chapters when it is given to the chapters by the boards. The advisory committees in this province, with one exception, are wonderfully helpful to th e ir respective chapters.
In conferring with the deans of women , it has been delightful to have four of the seven deans in this province memo bers of II B <1>. These are naturally very much interested in their chapters' wei· fare and progress. Their help and interest has been invaluable to the chapter as well as to the province president.
All the Eta Province chapters have budgeted gifts for the Settlement School, Loan Fund, and Endowment Fund. One chapter has given benefit bridges all winter to raise as large a sum as possible for the school. Another has gone without desserts on Mondays to be able to contribute to the University Loan Fund, upon which there are great demands . With their own incomes cut, the girls have been unusually generous this year.
Eta Province President could not close without saying that due to the splendid coope ration of the girls, she has gained mu ch more than she has given. With heavy schedules and many outside activities the actives are never too busy to comply with requests. The chapters h ave charming personnel, whose (our· tesies and kindnesses have been greatly appreciated.
She is indebted to the Grand Council for the privilege of serving II B <1>, which has made her feel an integral part of its working organization. For their inspiration and help she is most grateful.
FLORENCE HUNT WEBSTER
THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
THIS first year as province president has brought joys beyond compare, inspiration received from a host of new friends, and an insight into the true mea ning and ideals of n B il>, to sudl a degree that Theta Province President is at a loss to express the full ri chness of the treasure thus received. Mingled with joy there has been disappointment, but only enough to make the pleasure more poignant. She is deeply grateful for this opportunity to serve the fraternity, and she trusts that through united efforts in seven chapters there may be brought forth results productive of good for n B il>_
The variety of problems, associations, and co ntacts in this province are most delightful, for geographically it includes chapters from the southern part of Iowa to Winnipeg, Canada, and the schools in which the chapters are located range from three hundred to fourteen thousand in registration . In spite of these vast differences, there was always found the same loyalty to Pi Phi ideals and standards and the same sincerity of purpose in making n B (» stronger na· tionally by doing so locally. Besides the visit made to each chapter there has been monthly correspondence with each chapter and each advisory board. Theta Province President became acquainted with her chapters through the printed word before she had the privilege of knowing them personally. The letters she received monthly were so delightful that she was rather afraid she might be disappointed in making the long anticipated personal contact. However , the girls in every case were charming hostesses and entertained her royally . If throughout the year anyone chapter has gained as much inspiration and knowledge from her aid and advice as she received from each individual chapter, then the year has been profitably spent.
In another year, Theta Provin ce President hopes to report that all her chapters are placed in the upper third scholastically_ This year five out of seven chapters are so placed, and three of the seven rank first among women's fraternities. Iowa A, Iowa r (who has held first place for two succeeding years), and North Dakota A rank first on their campuses. Manitoba A and Iowa Z are in the upper third, Minn esota A in the middle third , and Iowa B in the lower third. There is a sincere desire in each group to improve the scholastic standing, and in the cases of those chapters ranking first there is evidenced the ambition to inc rease the margin of the lead . There is not a c hapter where scholarship is not receiving its du e importance, and the girls have become co nvinced that the scholastic standing of a group is an almost infallible indi cato r of the worth of the chapter in other respects.
II B il> is quite generally the leader in extra-curricular activities on all of the campuses with possibly two <xceptions. In addition to these high honors there have been an unlimited number of minor ones gained, representing activity in every field of endeavor in co llege life _ In four schools having Mortar Board chapters, there are seven members and one president. In all of the schools there have been, in addition, eight representative wom e n , queens, etc., and three attendants to queens. Sixteen girls have been elected to honorary scholastic fraternities, including il> B K. Twenty girls have been chosen for membership in honoraries of high rank in various fields of endeavor. There are two Y.W.CA. presidents and thirteen cabinet members, three W.A , A . presidents, and one W .S.G . A . president in the provin ce. An effort has been made this year to encourage every mef!1ber of every chapter to represent n B 4l1n some extra-curricular activity, so that it might
be said that there is no phase of college life on any campus where Pi Phi is not represented.
The advisory boards for all of the chapters are composed of splendid women, who are giving liberally of their time and thought to help n B <I> maintain its true rank on every campus. Enough praise and appreciation cannot be given to these groups of older women who arc so generous and eager in their desire to serve their fraternity. Mothers' clubs are quite active, and give freely of their time and money to the chapters in which they arc interested. The alumnre dubs sup· port the active chapters in every possible way and this year has seen numerous combined fun c tions such as Founders' Day celebrations, rushing parties , cooky· shines. and Settlement School programs. There is mutual reward from these as· sociations.
No finer group of women could be found to mother our girls than the chaperons in the five chapters where houses are maintained. One is a Pi Phi, two acc Pi Phi mothers, and the other two are vitally interested in the fraternity. In each case these efficient, capable women are aiding their chapters materially. The housing problem in the province is quite ni cely on the road to solution. Manitoba A and Iowa A will never own houses, for the majority of their members are town girls . Iowa B, Iowa Z. North Dakota A. and Minnesota A all own commodious and charming homes and are efficiently managing the difficult task of paying for these.
Iowa r offers the only real problem in the/rovin ce ; a new house is the vital nee here and the project on which all are working.
The past year has been one of added growth for the individual chapters in Theta Province. Not content, however, with past su ccesses, each chapter has looked into the future and planned wisely for future accomplishments . There is an earnest spirit of wanting better things for the fraternity locally and consequently nationally, and success will come proportionately as each member realizes her personal responsibility and gives of her loyal support to all fraternity projects. The goals for the coming year are an improved interchapter feeling, greater internal strength, and increased service to the fraternity and college.
To Miss Onken, 111eta Province President cannot give enough words of appreciation for her splendid help and advice at all times and her understanding of all problems And to all of Theta Provin c e, active and alumnre, she wishes to add her message of love and appreciation for their willingness to cooperate and to consider any suggestion or criticism she might have had to offer, and for the many courtesies extended throughout the year. Such marvelous spirit as exemplified in the seven chapters of Theta Province is a challenge to any officer. Mayall continue to grow in the knowledge that we are "sisters in the wine and blue."
ELIZABETH CARPENTER BUXTON
IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
T HIS third year as Province President has meant renewed friendships and continued joy in such inspirational work. Since last convention the province has changed its name and added a very line member to its family. We are proud to welcome South Dakota A into the fold.
Iota Province President has visited each of the seven chapters in the province at least once and her own chapter several times. Wyoming A. Colorado A. and Colorado B have had additional visits from the Grand Vice President . In most instances the girls have been very c onscientious about reports and
have kept the province president fully informed of their problems and achievements . Although reports of scholarship for the last term are not available for all chapters .. the ones on hand are truly gratifying . Kansas B won first place in scholarship again this year and will be the first fraternity to have its name engraved beneath the lovely new scholarship placard in the school library . Earnest efforts received their just reward at Colorado A and the chapter has reason to be proud of its first place ranking this year . Wyoming A lost the scholarship cup by only a fraction of a point South Dakota A ranked second in the comparative scholastic list for first semester; the report for the entire year will not be available until the last of June. Kansas A had a chapter average of 1.75. or C+ . fall semester but it is impossible to obtain a comparative ranking before September . There are no statistics for Colorado B as yet. Nebraska B's scholarship is low.
Iota Province President is very proud of the extra-curricular honors won by chapters in her province, and is sorry that limited space does not permit her to enumerate them.
This year finds Colorado B enjoying the pleasures of its first real chapter house. While only two girls and the chaperon live in the house, almost the entire chapter gathers there for luncheons and Monday night dinners. South Dakota A is planning to build as soon as the building fund grows to more sizable proportions. The landlord has made a number of improvements on the house the chapter is renting at present. Colorado A had its chapter house redecorated this fall. and the house is more luxu rious than ever. Kansas A, Nebraska B. and Kansas B are all keeping up the payments on their chapter homes, which are so complete in every respect. Both Kansas A and Nebraska B had empty rooms this year. but the
condition was unavoidable and the budgets suffered no serious loss.
ReJX>rts of deans of women were in all but two instances very gratifying. Pi Phi chapters in Iota Province seem to be maintaining the respect and admiration of university authorities.
At a time when contributions mean a very real sac rifice, the chapters have all done their bit in supporting the Settlement School. Colorado A has also contributed generously to the Social Service Bureau of Boulder, the University Student Relief Fund and is feeding a needy family every day. Kansas A has started a loan fund for chapter members; each girl contributes two dollars a year, and the money is to be loaned to those who need it most. There has not been a one hundred per cent contribution to the Loan Fund from Iota Province chapters this year.
Nebraska B. Colorado B. and Wyoming A all have fine new chaperons. Kansas B is to make a change this fall. Colorado A , Kansas A, and South Dakota A have splendid chaperons who will again pledge their loyalty and continue to be of inestimable vaJue to their chapters.
Alumnre advisory committees vary in the intensity of their interest, but all have cooperated well and are supporting their chapters loyally and unselfishly. As so many other province presidents have said, "the strongest chapters are where there are interested and enthusiastic alumnre advisory committees."
It is impossible for Iota Province President to express adequately her feelings toward chapters and Pi Phi officers as she ends her work as province president. She is proud of all the chapters in the province and of their fine achievements. Mayall their dreams of chapter perfection come true! She will have the happiest of memories always of the many charming girls who have made her chapter visits so enjoyable. The success of our fraternity is made possible by the leadership of our splen-
did officers, and she would like to add her sincere thanks for their cooperation; the friendships of these fine women will never be forgotten. She can lind no words to tell Miss Onken how much
Iher unfailing help and inspiration has meant. She will ever be grateful for the opportunity of serving as Iota inee President.
VIRGINiA HUTSON GETTO
KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
N THE first year as a province president of II B <[>, it has been most interesting and inspiring work to be able to know and visit six chapters of the fraternity. Kappa Provin ce President visited the Oklahoma and Arkansas chapters in November. and the remaining three in February.
During the past year and a half two chapters have moved into new hom es. Arkansas A has a beautiful new English home. The alumnre clubs of the state have helped them furnish it. Oklahoma A has bought a colonial home which it will occupy in the fall. Texas A and Oklahoma B have charming homes , well cared for and properly furnished. Texas B has most attractive quarters. Th ey have a large room furnished with Settlement &hool articles. Louisiana A meets in a cottage well equipped for fraternity purposes.
Arkansas A and Oklahoma A have changed chaperons for next year. Oklahoma B and Texas A will retain theirs.
Kappa Province President was very much gratified with her interviews with the deans of women in the various universities. All spoke highly of the II B <I> chapters. and commended them as influential leaders on their campuses. The criticisms were co nstructive and most helpful.
The advisory boards have helped the province president the entire year. An alumn:r club was reorganized this faU in StiI1water. and has been an invaluable help to Oklahoma B.
Scholarship has shown considerable advancement Ibis last year. Oklahoma B was first and highest in scholarship on its campus. It also had ten members on the university honor roll. Arkansas
A remains in the upper half and boasts of two members of <[> B K. Texas A and Texas B are in the middle third. Texas A has one member of B K and ten on the university honor roll. Oklahoma A has two members who made a straight A average for the year. They are two of th e fifty -fi ve stu de nts in the university who made this average. Louisiana A remains in the upper third.
The student activity record has been unusually fine in this province. There are 247 members parti c ipating in 636 activities. AU chapters are represe nted in honorary . student. athletic. and social organizations . Arkansas A has 55 members in 98 activities. and 26 members in 14 honor ary organizations. Texas A has had 51 girls in 101 activities. an excellent record indeed. There were 44 members in 13 honorary clubs. Oklahoma B had 32 girls in 124 activities. Oklahoma A had 34 girls in 110 ac tivities. They were represe nted in 10 honor organizations.
Contact with these six chapters has been most pleasant, and the provin ce president has rece ived hearty cooperation from all of them. There are faults in all chapters, but none of these are so big that they cannot be overcome. Mrs. Stark. the former province president, had this province in excel1ent condition, and my work has been simply to follow her work of last year. Even this year all the chapters have progressed to a higher plane, and it is the wish of the province president Ibat Kappa Province give competition for the Balfour cup next year. This province has supported all the standards of II B <[>, and has done it eagerly.
Efforts this year only represent a small
portion of the gratitude and appreciati on of Kappa Province President to M iss Onken , Mrs . Stark, and other me mbers o f Grand Coun c il for their
Wceaseless help. It has been a genuine pleasure to represent n B cfJ in this province.
MARY MCURRY BYWATERS
LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT
ITH the installation of Alberta A in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, last September, came the union of two nations in this vast northwestern Lamb· da Provin ce. It has been a very keen pleasure to welcome these charming Canadian girls into our province family.
This year has been a happy and sue cessful one for all of the chapters in the provin ce, and everywhere Lambda Provo inee President visited she was impressed with the splendid spirit of harmony and cooperation within the c hapters. Each chapter president spoke of her appreciation of the loyal support her chapter haJ given her. This may be attributed in part, at least, to the spirit of Convention which each convention delegate brought back to her chapter.
Scholarship throughout the province has been the one disappointing feature of the year. No chapter held first place on its campus this year, although two chapters began the year with second highest scholasti c standings, which have not been maintained, although they have made very creditable averages. Two chapters received very low averages the first quarter, but rigid study rules have raised their standings. The other chapters made good average grades, but did not ex cel!. All of the chapters, under the direction of their advisory committees, have been assiduously working on ways and means of scholarship improvement through close supervision of study table, privation of privi leges for poor grades, and rewards by the chapter and the advisory committees for high grades. There is a definite province project for next year in raising the scholastic standing . In practically every chapter it was a matter of a very few girls who pulled down the chapter average.
All chapters have excelled in ac tivities and have received individual campus honors, such as Women's League attainment cup , W . A . A. award. junior prom queen, princess of junior weekend . There have been two student body secretaries, one (j") B K, five members of Mortar Board , four members of <I> K <1>, Jive members of Spurs, three members of Orchesis, and many other honors.
With the exception of Alberta A, where women live "in residence," all chapters own their own homes, and the majority are new, so that the financial burden is rather great . However, in this year of economic stress and depleted memberships, all chapters are able to meet their payments and are in sound finan c ial condition.
The chapters have been extremely fortunate in having superior women as their chaperons, who have contributed greatly to chapter success, not only through the inAuence of their charming personalities, but in their efficient management of the commissary, and in their ex cellent cuisine.
Conferences with the deans of women were most enjoyable and helpf u!. It was very gratifying to know that in no institution had there been a breach of rules, college or Panhellenic, by any Pi Phi and that without exception all chapters were praised for their splendid cooperation with college and university authorities. lluee deans of women ranked IT B <I> as unquestionably first on their campuses while the other four ranked them among the three or four best.
Rushing , on the whole, was very successful despite the fact that , due to decreased enrollments, rushing competition was even keener than usual.
The smaller institutions , Montana State College and the University of Idaho, suffered somewhat from the fact that there was a very limited number of incoming students who were financially able to afford the extra expense of a fraternity. The larger schools were not SO greatly affected although they had to rush harder against their competjtorS because the number of desirable girls was decreased.
Everywhere that the province president visited she was deeply impressed with the personnel of the alumn., advisory committees and, with one exception , found them giving valuable and enthusiastic assistanc e to their chapters which more thoroughly convinced her that a chapter is just as strong as its advisory committee. Two of the chapters in the province, Montana A and Alberta A, have special nationally appointed advisers in lieu of committees. Although each chapter has greatly felt the stress of the times, all chapters, with the possible exception of the new chapter which is still feeling the heavy
Texpense of installation, have made contributions to the Settlement School and Loan Fund and many of them have been engaged in local philanthropic work .
This province was especially fortunate in having Miss Onken visit the chapters this particular year when they were so greatly in need of financial ad · vi ce and all the chapters profited materially and spiritually from her visit which will be an inspiration for them in ti me to come.
This year's service as province presi. dent has been one full of new and interesting experiences and has brought many new and cherished f!iendships . Lambda Province President wishes to thank the active chapters for their un · failing cooperation with her this year and for their courtesy, hospitality and friendship. She wishes to express to Miss Onken her appreciation for hee untie· ing help and advi ce and for the privilege of serving and becoming better acquainted with her fraternity.
HELEN MADDEN R USSELL
MU PRO VINCE PRES ID ENT
HIS year has been a very interesting one in Mu Province. The province president feels that she has been mOre successful this year than last in keeping in close touch with each one of her chapters. Their cooperation has been ex · ceJlent, and this applies not only to chapters but to advisory boards. They have told her their problems very freely, and in the whole province this year there was only one case requiring serious discipline, which was settled by the chapter itself, after it had made every effort to adjust the matter without taking disciplinary action.
In the main, her chapters have had ellicient offi cers , and their strength has been reflected in the improvement see n in many ways. Convention, too , has left a definite mark for the better on these chapters. This she feels especially in the
matter of cooperation with the national organization, and in an increase of in· terest in Pi Phi as a whole She has been watching with great interest the development of a feeling here in Southern California that the chapters might combine in some form of summer rush· ing of all girls who are going to any of the schools. It is a long step in the right direction.
In scholarship, she is sorry to say that the Province is still only average. Only one chapter, California r, stood in the upper third, and its grad e was considerably below that of last year . Several chapters showed distinct improvement . Only one stood in the lowest third, California A, but it had a grade that would have put it in a much higher position in any other school , and the individual grades we re high . With two exceptions,
every girl had an average above a C. There were many fine individual records among the girls in all chapters Many girls made the scholasti c honor societies . There is, however, not a single B K in the province. It must do better than that next year!
In rushing, the chapters have been amazingly successful in this year of de · creased enrollment, and they have taken what promises to be fine strong groups of members-we shall need them in order to survive the possibility of a further decrease in the colleges in the next few years n B <I> lost very few bids- Utah A indeed at the beginning of the year had a rushing season with a perfeet score. They did not lose a single bid . The depression has had the effect of sending to the state universi· ties many girls who would otherwise have gone to private schools or to the Eastern women's colleges; certain it is that we are finding excellent material to choose from. The province president has tried in every possible way to encourage the strictest economy in rushing as in everything else, but rushing still reo mains a major problem in chapter management and financing; if only it could be generally simplified. Two of her chapters got into minor difficulties with local Panhellenics this year, violations of the spirit rather than the letter of the rules; she hopes this will not hap. pen again.
With one exception, the Advisory Boards have done wonderful work. They have helped the Province President so much in keeping in close touch with the chapters. They have all supplemented the formal post cards with letters and with notes on the cards. She cannot speak too highly of the help they are to the chapters, and the strong support they give to the girls in both personal and chapter problems.
The mothers' dubs, too, are of wonderful assistance. Everywhere they are helping the girls in the most practical ways with their gifts. For the first time
this year, a mothers ' club has been organized at Stanford, and is Bourishing It takes in mothers who live within a large radius , also , whi ch gives it rather a different aspect from most of the dubs which are confined to a definite place The gifts to all the chapters this year have all been in the form of some im · provement to the house or its furnishings, things which would have been beyond the means of the chapters otherwise .
Every chapter in the province owns its own home, all of them su ch houses as we may well be proud of Three of the chapters , California A B, and r, have fine old houses that have been centers of Pi Phi life for years, and with proper repairs will serve the chapters for years to come; Utah A has a smaller house than the rest, since most of their girls live in Salt Lake, but it is none the less a fine home for the chapter and is de· lightfully located across from U,e campus; Arizona A and California A have houses new within the last few years that are models of what chapter houses should be; and the latest addition is the fine new house of Nevada A, a thoroughly satisfactory realization of their dream for many years . It should mean much in the life of that chapter. These last three newer houses, of course, entail a considerable financial burden on the chapters , but in each case it is being satisfactorily carried.
In activities Mu Province President is proud of the prominence that has come to her girls. Everywhere they have held class offices, and have done well in work on the publications and in dramatics. She has tried to impress on them that the necessity is for many girls to take part in everything they possibly can, without sacrifice of their scholastic standards. rather than leaving the work in activities to one or two girls. The list is far too long for THE ARROW report, and most of the honors have already been mentioned in chapter letters. Chapters are represented and prominentfy,
too, in the outstanding societies on every campus, both social and honorary.
Reports from deans of women were uniformily good. One dean said, "I can always depend on the Pi Phis," another, "It makes me happy to think of those girls," another, "They are standing for the finest things in college life." The girls had an excellent spirit of cDopeea· tion with the university authorities, and they are certainJy winning golden opin· ions for themselves and making many friends in college.
Finan'ces have been a serious prob. lem this year. Many girls had to drop out of college altogether, several had to become inactive with the approval of their advisory boards, and it has been many times hard for the chapters · to collect all dues. Yet, considering the really terrible financial conditions that many of these families are facing, we have done remarkably well, and if we
could do it this year, the province president is encouraged to think we shall come through the coming year as well. If our strength means anything at all, surely it must mean the power to carry on through short periods of difficulty and to do it without lowering any of our standards of either personnel or of living. We must all use the strictest economy, but that will do us no harm, and perhaps all our chapters may be the stronger and better for it.
The work of Mu Province President with her chapters has again been a real joy to her this year. Again she wants to thank the fraternity for the opportunity it has given her for happy service in the national work. The friendship of the girls has meant mudl to her; the chapters give far mare of inspiration to her than she can possibly give to them!
ADELE TAYLOR ALFORD
Annual Reports of Province Vice Presidents
ALPHA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
LA ST
Yf3.r a province vIce president began her annual report by stating that her clubs were the best. Not so . Mine are! To the New England solidarity has been added the enthusiasm and vision of the West, which has made a combination that cannot be equalled. Nor ca n there be found anywhere a more effic ient group of presidents, chair. men, and members, who have given any more loyally and generously of their time, strength, and money.
It is impossible to compare the figures of the province as a whole with those of last year, for Alpha Provin ce has had the misfortune to lose the two New Jersey clubs who contributed 11 7 members and $556 to the School, but their loss to this province is a distinct gain to Beta Province. Conditions on the whole have been encouraging. All but two clubs have increased their memberships, one of these two being within one of last year. The greatest gains were made by Boston and Buffalo. Although the New York club has suffered a deCrease in membership, the officers and group c hairmen have put hours of effort into making contacts with Pi Phis in their neighborhoods. Syracuse has kept its even course. In several clubs many members are prominent workers in educational organizations and town and commun ity enterprises.
The excellent attendance at meetings must mean worthwhile programs carefully planned. Afternoon and eve ning meetings alternate in several places; speakers of note have been brought in ; Toronto has been particularly fortunate in having Pi Phis with a national message. Sociability and friendliness have
everywhere played an important part. It is safe to say that never before has n B spirit meant more to the fraternity members than it has the past year.
Real labor has gone into the raising of money. Western Massachusetts and Toronto had original .schemes of a "Talent dollar"; Connecticut has shown what can be done with a club with a vision and the will to make that vision a reality; New York has had the same number of subscribers as last year; Burlington, with its responsibility of the beautiful new chapter house, has by means of the Magazine Agenry equalled its gift of last year; Buffalo has increased the gift; a group in Worcester, Massachusetts, has scnt ten dollars to the Settlement School, although several of the group belong to distant clubs. Nearly all of the nine have sent to the Loan Fund and several to the Endowment Fund . As the chairman of this latter fund is a member of this province, it is hoped that more support can be given soon to that most constructive work. In addition the clubs have helped in various ways local causes, Toronto having co ntributed $100. Of the actives, Vermont A has raised $73.90.
The main problems have been the raising of money and the difficulty in interesting Pi Phis who have been, in other chapters and clubs, valuable working members. But the progress made has been encouraging; more paid members, larger attendance, fine fellowship, and a strong cooperative spirit. Rochester has noted an especially fine spirit, as have Boston and Buffalo
Alpha Province Vice President owes much to the loyal club officers who have
been to her a source of interest and in · spiration, and to th e Grand Presid e nt and Grand Vice President whose let-
Rtees have never failed to give her information and joy.
E. LOUISE RICHARDSON
BETA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
EVIEWJNG the year's work and counting the many interesting letters in the Beta Provin ce files, it ce rtainly looks as if bank failures. unemployment, flat tires, divorces, and "knocks" in our engines and all the other pleasant things attending these hectic times have but strengthened the ambition of club officers to do their best. Many and discouraging propositions have been m et and overcome. I have yet to hear of a band of Pi Phis marching to Washington or elsewhere to make the world safe for fraternities! The good work goes on and we aU don Our old hats and put another dollar into the Settlement School Fund or the Undergraduate Lo an Fund, or the Endowmen t Fund.
Almost every club in Beta Provin ce bas as many if not more members than in more prosperous years . Again Cleveland leads with 10 1 members.
It is both surprising and admirable the way the active chapters have con· tributed to the Settlement School Fund . Ohio A had each pledge, and there
Iwere twenty, earn $5.00 . A shining example for alumn::e!
This next year may not see us marching to Washington, but let us hope that it does see a delegate from each dub marching to Convention. Begin early to plan for this .
More than half of the alumn., clubs are one hundred per cent in the matter of monthly letters . As these letters mean so much to the province vice president, she takes this opportunity to th ank the cor.responding secretaries and the club members who have been so faithful.
This year it seems as if the officers in alumnre clubs and active chapters must have read their 111anllaiJ, as twice only contributions to the Settlement School went to the wrong person.
To all the dubs and to the Grand Council for help and coope ration, Be ta Provin ce Vi ce President extends her heartiest thanks and grateful appreciation
FRANCES C. CURTIS
GAMMA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
T IS very difficult to do Gamma Province justice, as the province vice president feels as if she were only half acquainted with them. She took the work up in February, and is still working her way through files, and trying to get the necessary reports in on time .
The province reminds her of her family -fou r clubs and four children ; both are stair-steps, from the largest in Washington to the smallest in Ri chmond. Next year they will all grow several inches, so as to keep up with her boys and girl; and before long you
will not know them. The province vi ce president has not paid any official visits so is looking forw ard to meeting the clubs in the fall. What littl e effort she has made has been more than repaid by the contacts made with Pi Phis through co rrespondence and personally.
There are 430 resident Pi Phis in the province, and while all are not raid members it is hoped that more wil become active workers and find a source for their energies in our wide field of endeavors.
Each club is fortun ate in being neat
an active chapter which helps to weld the old and young together. Celebrating Founders Day together brings the groups closer, and they get a social contact which is priceless.
In the few months that the province vice president has worked with the clubs in the province, each dub has been in communication with her and shows a keen desire to cooperate.
Two clubs have contributed to the Loan Fund, two to the Endowment Fund, and all to the Settlement School. In Washington the same generous gift of $1000 was sent in as last year. This year the gifts were smaller, but there were more givers. Each club has its own methods for raising money, beginning with individual pledging and extending to super-salesmanship in the sale of silver and dresses.
Gamma Province Vi ce President has been impressed with the fun ctio ning of
SIthe advisory boards; in most cases the girls felt a dependence on the alumore, and advice could always be obtained, no matter how busy the board was. Their tasks varied from planning parties and benefits to smoothing out financial difficulties. Two clubs helped their chapters in a very material way, by gifts, others entertained them socia lly.
All th e clubs are planning bigger and better programs for next fall, and are looking forward to the work.
The work has been a pleasure, and there is always the knowledge of a source to which to turn for advice, headed by our wonderful leader, Miss Onken, and her co-workers, Mrs . Smith and Mrs. Comer.
Gamma Province Vice President is most grateful to the National and club officers for their patience and cooperation .
EMMA DRURY SIPPEL
DELTA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
NCE the redistri cti ng of provinces at last Convention, Delta Province now includes only Mi chiga n and Indiana. TIlerc are ten active clubs and one other whidl has not sent in national dues or had the required number of meetings , but has contributed to both the Settlement School and the Loan Fund.
The province has grown in other respects. Olief of these is national viewpoint. 1t has grown less self-centered. This has been shown by the attitude toward the national ente rpri ses of the f ratern ity Eight of the clubs contributed a total of $80 to the Loan Fund . This is an increase of $30, with three more clubs than last year responding Four clubs contributed as a group to the Endowment Fund. Almost every club has a Magazine Agency and has turned in commissions for the Settlement School to the amount of $152.50 up to June 1. Nearly all clubs have sold Arrow Craft products.
One of the finest things that has been done is a trip that was made by a number of the members of the Southwestern In diana Alumn., Club to the Settlement School. How splendid if each of
These clubs have a com bined paid membership of 293 as against 334 for last year, a rather good showing, all things considered. In view of the fact that in those cities where there are clubs there is a total resident membership of 729, there is room for improvement. However, the membership committees of these various clubs have put forth every effort to enroIl as many as possible of these members. This is evidenced by the fact that two clubs have increased their membership this year while two others have maintained the same number as last year, one of which has 100 per ce nt e nrollment. With a few exceptio ns the average attendance has been high
the clubs were so fortunate as to be close enough to Gatlinburg to make such a trip possible.
Both Michigan and Indiana held State Founders· Day luncheons, which Pi Phis from all over the state attended . The Michigan luncheon was at Dearborn, sponsored by the Detroit Gub. Following the lun cheon those attending were guests of Henry Ford at his Greenfield Village. The Indiana luncheon was sponsored, as usual, by the Indianapolis Alumnre and was the thirty-fourth annual Indiana State lundleon . It was the pleasure of Delta Provin ce Vice President to attend the Indiana celebration. Previous to the luncheon, she had a personal conference with a representative from five clubs. Both states gave scholarship awards to the girl in each chapter in their respective states having the highest grade point average.
Although there are no new clubs in Delta Provin ce, the prospects for next year look promising. There acc sufficient numbers for clubs in Flint and Lansing. Mi chigan and in South Bend and Terre Haute, Indiana. Combined forces in both Anderson and Pendleton, Indiana and in the Calumet district, which would include Gary, Hammond, and Whiting, Indiana, offer still other possibil ities . At present definite steps toward organization are being taken in Terre Haute, South Bend , and Ander· son.
During this year Delta Province Vi ce Pres ident sent letters to the 800 Pi Phis living where there is not an alum · me club. The responses both in letters and checks were a source of great pleas · ure. She only wish es these isolated alumrue could share in the pleasures of the various clubs.
The clubs find that their chief prob· lem is that of earning money. Most of them resorted to the often tried benefit bridges, sales of Settlement &hool prod-
uets, etc., to earn a combined total of $971.16 as against $t250.88 for last year. To this is added the chapter donations which amount to $201.50 as against $271.08 for last year. This plus the contributions of isolated Pi Phis makes a total of $1192 16.
The chapters sent in 39 senior dues, a loss of 14 over the 53 seniors of last year. Of this number nine of those living: within the province have become actively affiliated with some alumna club.
As a definite effort to cooperate with our chapters, the clubs in Delta Province have appointed rushing committees, whose duty it is to investigate probable rushees living in their cities and send on to the chapters concerned any and all information regarding each girl.
This year the province tried a system of grading for the clubs, similar to that used for the chapters. As a reward, the province vice president has offered a gavel for the club with the highest rating. West Lafayette, Indiana, Alumn., Club has the highest grade, with the Franklin , [ndiana, Alumnre Club a close second.
Delta Province Vice President has gained many friends and is deeply grateful for them and for the privilege of serving her fraternity. For next year Delta Province sets as her goal the fulfillment of a dream once expressed by our beloved Genevieve Herrick Smith, whose loss we all feel very keenly . She said , "It is for each inter · ested alumna to win one who is unin· terested, it is for the membership com· mjttee to work untiringly, it is for the club officers to see that the inactives are put to work , it is for the program committee to make the meetings increasingly interesting, it is for us all to make the Settlement School a real and thrilling ideal for which to work."
MARIANNE REID WILD
EPSILON PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
TH E report of Epsilon Prov ince Vice President for the year 1931 . 1932 might well be entitled: "The Decline a nd Fall of Money·Raising Enterprises," for such has been the case generally throughout the clubs. With one or two exceptions, aU plans for making money have hit a new low . Membership has kept up exception· ally well, and Epsilon Provin ce is proud to report that its total of 357 paid memo bers is but two lower than last year. St. Louis , Columbia , Springfield , Nashville, and Memph is have in c reased their membership ; Chattanooga has the same as it had last year; while Kansas City and Louisville are lower. This record , in the fa ce of economic depression, is splendid, and gratitude is due the hard -wo rking membership chairmen of the various groups.
It was most interesting for the Vice President of Epsilon Province, when she visited all her clubs early in 1932, to meet the Pi Phis with whom she had been corresponding, and to note the problems and successes of the large and small clubs. For in this province, there are groups ranging in size from 115 to 12 members. Each and every club was vitally interested in IT B of> nationally, was eager to hear the lat es t news from the Settlement School, and wanted an intimate knowledge of the rest of the clubs in the province. The burning question that was asked by all the clubs was, "What shall we do to raise money for the Settlement School and other IT B of> projects, and what scheme have other groups adopted which might prove a gold mine for us ?"
With the exception of Kansas City, few clubs have had "gold mines" this year. This club has adopted the plan of having an annual theater benefit, at which time one performance of a wellknown show is bought out, the club sells the tickets , and reaps the harvest. It is a splendid scheme, but a slightly danger·
ous one for medium and small -s ized clubs. All the other clubs have been forced to earn money from many small affairs, the sale of various goods, etc. While this is a more tedious way to raise any larg e amount of money, seve ral clubs have done very c red itable work. Springfield was quite successfu l with rummage sales and serving lun cheons, for which a nominal cha rg e was made. St. Louis so ld Christmas ca rds, had an evening bridge benefit, and sold o ld clothes through an Economy Shop which gives 50 per cent profit on all articles sold. Columbia did well on Christmas ca rds and rummag e sales. Louisville and Chattanooga had to cut their Settlement School gifts greatly, be· cause of their finan c ial help to their active chapters, while M emp his and Nash· ville, becau se of the economic situation, were forced to give through personal pledges. Most of the clubs hav e not done all they wanted to do for the Set· tlement School this year, and they are now laying plans for next year 's work, hoping they will be infallible.
The active chapters of Epsilon Provo in ce measured up splendidly in contributing to the School, giving $150 in all. Throughout the province, alumnre clubs have taken up the idea of inviting their chapters by classes to attend one club meeting during the year . Add ed to the alumnre's help in rushing, and some financial assistance, this is making for a splendid spirit of cooperation between the two groups.
The Endowment is making strides in the province. Kansas City leads off with a gift of $500, whi ch is most com· mendable, St. Louis has given $100, and other clubs are making pledges and gifts. The work on magazine subscriptions is on the increase, and it is hoped that this most remunerative way of making money will be adopted generally by all clubs, and exploited to the 11th de· gree.
Just as the report is ready to go in to THE ARROW, comes the reques t from St. Joseph, Missouri, for help in the reorganization of their club . To say that we are happy to have them back is putting it mildly, and the heartiest welco me awaits the new club.
The vice president of Epsilon Province wishes to express her appreciation
Zof the coope rati on of all club officers and members, and begs for its continuance. It is only in this way that we can be mutually helpful. Her visits with each club and chapter were most delightful, and the hospitality with which she was received will always furnish many pleasant memories.
D OROTHY J. MlLLER
ZETA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
ETA PROVINCE is warranted in considering that progress has been made during this diffi cult year. Several of the nine dubs have inc reased their membersh ips; some report that the i nterest and solidarity of t1ieir groups are better than ever before; and contributions to the Settlement School have increased, despite the fact that one club contributed nothing.
As the tabulated report shows, there are a few of the clubs which are not carrying their share of responsibility for our national projects. As most of these clubs are fun ctio ning well in other respects, the province vice president believes that their pride in these fine dertakings, and their loyalty to IT B <I> will come to the rescue, and they will not be so easily satisfied with their efforts in the future. Two dubs have shown hardly a spark of life from a na-
Itiona I point of view, one of them not having paid dues for any members, and the other for only four-though the latter did send during this year their Settlement School co ntribution for last year and also a small one for 1931-32. The four active chapters in the province were very prompt in meeting their obligations to th e alumnre department.
DeLand , Jacksonville, Lakeland, and Orlando deserve honorable mention for their fine proportion of resident alumnre who are active dub members, as does Atlanta for leadi ng the clubs of the province in per capita co ntribution to the Settlement School. These clubs, also, have been most cooperative in every respect, and have contributed much to the province vice president's pleasure in her work.
HILDA B HENRY
ETA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
T IS a very great pleasure to write the record of Eta Province alumna: clubs during the past year. There are nin etee n clubs in the province which is second in number only to Beta Province. Although there have been no new clubs chartered , the total membership of the province has increased from 524 to 59l. In size the dubs range from nine to seventy-four, with the majority under twenty-five. In a few cases there has been an unavoidable decrease in rnem-
bership, but the gallant efforts of other clubs have brought up the total. Fourteen of the nineteen clubs were contributors to the Loan Fund, with a total greater than last year. Six clubs responded to the appeal for support of the Endowment Fund and here, too, was an increase over the amount given last year. I can not praise too highly the devotion of the clubs in working for the Settlement School. Several clubs increased their co ntribution and several
more maintained the amount given last year, in the face of a decreased membership. So, with the total figures at hand, we have increased. our contribution to the Settlement Schoo l also.
The use of a budget and the setting of a lixed goal ear ly in the year plus the cooperation of the clubs as a whole in mODey-making projects seems to solve the money-raising problem far more successfully than dependi ng on personal contributio ns. Many clubs have displayed great ingenuity and energy in discovering and putti n g into effect various projects and a comp lete list has been sent to a ll clubs.
The maintenance of interest and avoidance of monotony has been well t ake n ca rc of in a variety of programs in each club. The four required meetin gs parti cularly, have been made both attractive and forcefu l. The dispatch of business by executive boa rds a n d ways and means comm it tees h as ma de avail-
able the time for programs in the case Df the larger dubs.
All clubs located in the same town with a chapter are doing their part in assisting the c h apter and several other clubs have taken steps to ·'adopt'· a chapter as their special interest. Unity with · in the province is grow ing and dubs are eager to know of the activities of their neighbors . There is a fin e r ap· preciat io n of the n ational o rga ni zatio n and its functions.
I t has been a very happy privilege to serve the fraternity. Eta Province Vi ce Preside nt is deeply grateful to the club officers who have show n such a fine spirit of coope rat ion and e nthusi as m . May she offer her si nce re appreciation to national o ffi ce rs and co mmitt ee chair · men , particularly Mrs. Smith , Miss Onken , and Mr s. Stoolman for their invaluab l e assista nce.
RUTH NI CH OLAS SUTTON
THETA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
A s A newc omer in the ranks of n B ..p ..l"1.. nationa l office rs it is with the feelin g of a novi ce that Theta Province Vice President subm its h e r fir st annual report. She is really proud of h er province. Sh e h as no actual work of former years to compa re with this year's accompli s hmen ts, o nly records of her predecessors. The co mparison of these recor ds might be di sheartening to an outsider, but when o n e knows the e nthus iasm and effo rt that has gone into th e wo rk this year she f ee ls that in most instances the province has gone forward. In many cases bank failures and finan c ial difficulties have worked rather as an incentive for extra effort th an as a handicap to the club.
A great d eal of the momentum and enthus iasm which these clubs h ave, was given th em by Florence Hunt Webst er, form e r Epsilon Provi nce V ice President, a nd Floren ce In gh ram , form er Zeta
Province Vi ce President. Both of these loyal Pi Phis had ed uca ted the clubs very carefu lly in n atio na l work.
Ther e are thirteen clubs in Th eta Prov in ce and th e membership in these clubs varies from fourteen to seve ntyf our, the total being 351 members . The Burlington, Duluth , Grand Fo rks , and Saint Paul clubs have shown an inc rease in m e mbers , and in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, a nd Sioux City clubs the lo ss in numbers h as been very small. In fact the entire province has lost only thirty-seven members . The coop e ration of the club officers has in most cases been very gratifying. Even though the vice president has not vi sited the clubs, she has felt th e enthusiasm of their organizations in their letters, and has looked forward to hea ring from them each month . Some of the ideas h ave been so valuable that she has tri ed to pass th em on to other
clubs. The cooperation and correspondence fcom the clubs is in a large measure responsible for whatever the province vice president has accomplished.
Every club has contributed to the Settlement School. Winnipeg sent one dollar more than last year and the Grand Forks Club the same amount. The other clubs have sent a smaller sum than last year, so that the total is $877 as compared with $1151.15 last year. This difference of $274.15 will be somewhat lower when the aIIowance from the magazine agency is credited to the account, as many clubs have made a special effort in that direction this year. Having been in constant touch with the clubs the vice president knows that in most instances there has been progress in enthusiasm and cooperation that will show results later.
The fact that two additional clubs, Indianola, and Mount Pleasant have contributed to the Loan Fund as weI! as the eight clubs that sent in money last fall, shows a sense of responsibility to the national organization. The total was $90 as compared with $65 last year.
Clubs that are situated near active chapters report that relations are very and they seem to work for the chapters with a very cooperative spirit.
Theta Province Vice President wants to take this opportunity to express her appreciation lor the help she has received from Miss Onken, Mrs. Smith, and her club officers . She has gotten a great deal of happiness out of her work and hopes that in return in some small way she has helped n B <1>.
Lucy How POTTER
IOTA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
T IKE Uriah Heep. Iota Province Vice L President feels very "umble" as her first year draws to a close. In looking back in retrospect over the winter's work, the thought uppermost in her mind is that she hopes she has been able to return to the clubs in some measure the inspiration and enthusiasm they have imparted to her .
The correspondence with the various clubs has been most interesting and enjoyable. It is surprising how well acquainted one can become with individual members of a group just through the interchange of letters.
She enjoyed her visits to the Wyoming and Colorado clubs. All of them were charming and gracious hostesses. She had the pleasure on her visit to Laramie of spending the night in Wyoming A's new home, and of meeting some of the active girls who were very cordial. It is most gratifying to know that wherever one goes she is sure to nnd the Pi Phis of the community are numbered among its respresentative
women. Oftentimes, the women in the smaller towns do more real living than those residing in the cities. Life is a bit more leisurely and there is a better opportunity for close friendship_ Frequently, they are more interested in the pursuit of fine cultural things, music, art, and reading of good books.
As she looks over the questionnaires that are coming in each day, she feels much encouraged about the work of the year just past. The clubs all stress the fact that the meetings are interesting and enjoyable, offering as they do an opportunity for the promotion of deep and abiding friendships. All seem nred with a zeal for the strengthening of n B <f> both locally and nationally. Nearly all express the hope that they will be able to do better next year. The majority seem to be keenly aware of their responsibility to the Settlement School and to the Undergraduate Loan Fund.
Iota Province had a membership of 405 this past year, just twenty-two less
than last; and this despite the fact that it now has just thirteen dubs in our province as against fifteen of last year. Seven clubs in the province have creased their membership, one remains the same as last year, while the other five had decreased a little. Four clubs lack only one or two of a one hundred per cent membership and three have contributed to all IT B if> altruistic projects. With the exception of one club, from which I have not yet heard, all have contributed to the Settlement &hool, and of the thirteen, eight to the Undergraduate Loan Fund, three to the Endowment Fund. The average attendance has increased in a number of the clubs, and some of the clubs have increased the number of meetings during the year.
Several of the clubs and active chapters in Iota Province had the pleasure of a visit from the Grand Vice President this past winter. Her keen interest in n B Il> is at all times most inspiring . Iota Provin ce V ice President wishes we
Tmight have more frequent visits from our national officers.
One afternoon, late in March, a number of Denver alumnre were invited to tea at Mary Frost's, and can you imagine their surprise and delight upon entering her home, to find our own Miss Onken there . It was interesting to watch the expression of amazement, followed by pleasure, that passed over the fa ce of each n B ct» as she entered, as none of us had any intimation that she was within miles of Denver.
Iota Province Vi ce President wishes to express to both Miss Onken and Mrs. Smith her app rec iation of the aid and encouragement they have given in this her first year as province vice president. Being entirely new and untrained to this kind of thing, she needed a great deal of both. She wishes also to thank the clubs of the province for their hearty support and coope ration. It has made the experience one of unal10yed pleasure 'for her .
HALLI E COLLINS
KAPPA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
H E work of the alumna! dubs in Kappa Province this year has been most gratifying. There are eighteen dubs and each one has fun c tioned well. Despite the financial stress the dubs have been most loy al in supporting fraternity projects, assisting the active chapters in rushing parties and general chapter problems, and generous in their contributions to the Settlement School. There are 432 paid members in the clubs, and 22 seniors who paid senior farewell dues. The amount sent the Settlement School from actives and alumnre is $1278.93. The interest in the Loan Fund and Endowment Fund is in c reasing and more than half of the clubs have made donations to each fund. K appa Provin ce Vice President has stressed these projects in each monthly letter, and clubs not making donations this
year are planning to do so next year. In previous years the response from the isolated alumnre was so small that no great effort was extended in that work this year. Stillwater, Oklahoma, is the youngest club and it has show n the same fine spirit of loyalty to II B if> and h e r interests. EI Paso, Texas, has just received a charte r and will be functioning with full enthusiasm next year. An effort was made by several clubs to interest the isolated Pi Phis at Founders' Day celebrations.
Again Kappa Provin ce Vi ce President closes h e r repo rt with a deep feeling of appreciation for the splendid cooperation given by the officers in each club in Kappa Provin ce. She has enjoyed the work this year eve n mOre than in th e past years and feels deeply indebted to Mrs. Smith for her guidance
as Grand Vi ce President. She h as enjoy ed all h e r co ntacts with the offi ce rs of the fr a ternity _ She re linquish es her responsibility with a f eeling of keen regret, but s he is looking forward with pleasure to serving IT B iJ) as Chairman of the Settlement School Committee. Let h e r t e ll he r clubs and the fraternity th at s h e is happy to give h er place to Mrs G eo rge
TWilli amso n , Louisiana A, of Shreveport, Loui siana. She is a most ardent Pi Phi and e nthusiastic alumnre dub worker, and is the author of th e fam o us "Ga me o n the Constitution."
She exten ds thanks to Grand Counci l and club members fo r their loya l cooperation for the work o f IT B <I> in thi s part of the cou ntry.
FRANKIE COC HRA N HILL
LAMBDA PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
HIS past year as Lambda Province
Vice Pr eside nt h as bee n very h appy and most inte rest ing. The vice president sincerely trusts that the efforts mad e toward furth e ring th e interests of n B <I> in this province, have been worth while. The fin e r esponse and sp lendid sp irit of cooperation of the clubs h as heen most g ratifying, and sh e feels deeply grateful for the privilege she h as enjoyed of co ming in co ntact with true n B cI> spi rit manifested in innumerabl e ways.' She wishes to exp ress her s in ce re app rec iation to every club for the assistance given.
Since all clubs were vi sited last year, her contacts h ave been almost entirely through correspondence, with the ex· ception of informal soc ial visits made to nearby clubs, and th e official visit to Edmonton , Alberta, Canada. Sh e is proud to announce the organization of a club in Edmonton. Since this g roup is so far distant, geographically speaking , it will be of special significance to th em to become affiliated with the national organization. Lambda Prov in ce now has e leven active clubs in all , extendin g over Washington , Oregon , Idah o, and Ca nada.
The province has a paid-up membership of 283 and h as contributed $967.29. Th e Portl and club aga in is at the top, ha vi ng sent in the largest contribution. The acti ve chapters have sent twenty·seve n senior alumnre member· ships and $43 to the Settlement School. Alumn", have sent $60 to the Loa n
Fund. and to date one chapter has contributed $5. M ost of the clubs subsc ri bed to th ei r magazines throug h th e Magazi ne A ge ncy and hav e made cont ributi o ns or gifts to their nearest active cha pte r . This year has been difficult in many ways, and while there has been a d ecrease in the financial reports of the clubs and chapte rs, a decided progress h as been mad e in the increased interest in the national projects and in closer contacts made with the active chapters . Several of the clubs were very f ortunate in having a most delightful and inspirational vi s it from Miss Onken during her stay in th e Northwes t. Through her visit, they felt a much closer relationship to th e national organization. It has b een a real pleasure to th e clubs and act ive chapters to ce leb rate Founders' D ay together where it is at all possible. Thi s event has been th e means of bringing th e alumnre and actives much closer to each other, and beca use of this there has bee n an increased inte rest on the part of the clubs in assisting the chapte rs with their rushing, and in ma ny other ways when the counse l of older Pi Phis is invaluable to the younger gi rl s.
Lambda Provi nce Vice President wants to thank the national officers for their sp lendid help and encouragement. H e r associatio ns with them this past year will always remain one of her most treasured memories. She wants to thank the club officers, too, for th eir fine co-
operation. She has thoroughly enjoyed her correspondence with each and one, and is anticipating knowing them in person . She is grateful indeed to her
Ipredecessor, Harriet Johnstone, for her assistance and continued interest in the progress of the clubs in this province.
BERNYCE ScOTT H UMPHREY
MU PROVINCE VICE PRESIDENT
T SEEMED impossible to visit all of the alumnre clubs in her province this year, but Mu Provin ce Vi ce President did accomplish eleven out of the seventeen. Those visits have added immeasurably to the pleasure of her work, and have given her a greater knowledge of the clubs with which she has come in contact than any amount of co rrespondence cou ld have done.
Mu Provin ce has 607 paid memberships, representing a slight increase over last year . Thirt ee n clubs cont ribut ed to the Loan Fund. Some, in spite of the scarcity of money, because the appeal was so acute and the need so great, gave more than last year. As a province we totaled $147.50 in subscriptions. The Settlement School, the barometer of
II B <I> interest, received $2392.23 from the alumnre clubs of Mu Province, and $250 from the active chapters. While the amount sent the Settlement School in some clubs does not co me up to last year, it does not indicate less interest, but even greater, for the money they have turned in represents much greater effort than ever before.
Two new clubs have been formed: Monterey Bay Club and San Jose . These clubs inspire especial interest because of their youth.
There has been a helpful response to lette rs and various appeals, and Mu Provin ce Vi ce Presid ent closes her records for the year with a feeling of real appreciation.

Alumnae Club Annual Reports
EDITED BY RUTH GILLAN GOBBLE
No
DOUBT a word or two should be said in' r egard to the abbreviated appearance of the alumnre club reports . Notice was r eceived that on account of economy, all alumnreclub reports should be limited to around 100 words and since many of them as written conta in ed 500 words or morc, much blue pencil. ing and deleting was n ecessary and many of the most interesting descri ptions had to be omitted. It is extremely unfortunate that it is not possible to
print all of the letters in full, for it was impossible for the editor to know just what items the clubs would prefer to have deleted , and much valuable information was necessarily left out and the true picture of what great work the clubs are doing was much curtailed in seve ral instan ces. How ever, we are hop· ing for more space next time, and many letters in the November issue telling of the work planned by the alum na: clubs for the comi ng year.
