THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI

SEPTEMBER, 1942

EDITORIALS

Indiana Epsilon

WNUMBER 1

I TH even more than usual pleasure Grand Council announces the gcanting of a charter to Pi Phi Epsilon, petitioning group at DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana . Long years ago, from 1871 to 1877, Pi Beta Phi had at DePauw, then called Indiana Asbury, a chapter whi ch was called Indiana Alpha. After its charter was given up, the chapter name was given to a group at Franklin College, and of the DePauw chapter we have only a few names listed in the Directory.

With the cooperation and cordial welcome of the college authorities, and with the assistance of Dean G. Herbert Smith (lately chosen president of University, at Salem , Oregon), a colony was established in the fall of 1941. The girls were successful from the first, under the supervision of Marianne Reid Wild. Assistant to the Grand Vice-President, and with the loyal support of local alumnae and of the Indianapolis Alumn., Club. Last fall they rushed against the other well-established Panhellenic groups, and pledged a fine group of girls. During the year inspections were made by Gertrude Deer Owens, Delta Province President, and by Ruth Barrett Smith, Grand Vice-President, as Grand Council representative; visits were made by girls from the required two nearest chapters. All their reports were favorable, the group met all national requirements. and under normal conditions, the group would have been allowed to petition Convention. When Convention had to be postponed, the chapter had further visits, this time by representatives of all the chapters in the province, and as provided in the Constitution, the question of granting a charter was put before Delta Province chapters. The result was a unanimous vote in favor of their admission. The new chapter will be Indiana Epsilon of Pi Beta Phi, and installation ceremonies, with Miss Onken as the installing officer, were August 31-September 2. By the time this is read, the new chapter will be actually functioning.

The thaoks of the Fraternity go to all the alumn", who have made the new chapter possible, especially to Mrs. Wild and to Mary Lou Stansfield, Colorado B, in whose capa ble hands was placed the active organization of the chapter. To the new chapter goes a very warm welcome from Pi Phis everywhere.

The story of the installation will appear in the December ARRow.

Of Constitutional Changes

Last year two committees gave many hours of hard work to study of the constitution of Pi Beta Phi; one worked on a tabulation of suggested changes which were sent in by dubs and chapters, the other compiled arguments for and against the p'rincipal propositions suggested. The findings of both committees were sent to Grand Counctl, and at their special meeting in February a careful study was made of both reports. With those reports as a basis. Grand Council took the action which is detailed in the minutes of that meeting which are included in this ARROW. The action divides itself into three sections: first, action which Grand Council was empowered to take under powers granted to it by the constitution; second, action which Grand Council recommends to the next Convention; third, subjects for discussion and action by the next Convention.

All these propositions merit careful study and intelligent consideration. The changes made by Grand Council will be issued to dubs and chapters in a revised copy of !be Statutes; for the other possible changes, read the minutes in this issue.

Of War Work

The ARROW hopes this year to have much interesting material about what Pi Phis are doing, and the Ed,tor has already asked that information about Pi Phis who are prominent in war work be sent to Gladys WaHen, assistant editor, by September 15. Please, will corresponding secretaries continue this help during the year, so that the ARROW may give a picture of life as Pi Phis are livin,!: it today? We want especially pictures, action if possible, and fifty word write-ups-and thiS includes women in an kinds of national war effort, the air service, the W AACs and the WAVES.

Of Changes

Please note carefully the many changes of offi cers and of addresses in this number, and make use of this list only in. all official correspondence.

What of This Year?

A new college year comes to Pi Beta Phi, and never before has a year been so unpredictable in every aspect. Until the colleges open we cannot tell how they will be affected by the war; InevItably many problems WJll have to be solved, many questions answered. Whatever changes may come in college life, however our chapters may be touched by them, the , National Fraternity will give them its support as always. Pi Beta Phi stands ready to help in any possible way, not only its own members, but the national war effort. Already we have made a considerable investment of fraternity funds in War Bonds, something over $120,000; in the months to come we will buy more than this. Mrs. Copp tells in her reports as Settlement Committee Chairman, how the facilities of the School have been offerecf to the United States Government, and of this you will hear more in the months to come.

Already sacrifices have been made, and more must corne. Scarcely a member of Pi Beta Phi is left untouched by the war, through the participation of members of their families in every branch of war service. The ARRow wants to know as much as possible about Pi Phi relatives in the armed services, and the Editor will be grateful for any news which may be used without violation of military secrecy. Already much sad news has come to us. Two Pi Phi husbands have been reported as among the known dead, Commander Howard R. Healy, United States Navy, hu sba nd of Josephine Kenkel, Minnesota A, who was lost on the Lexington, and Lieutenant Dana Bradford, U. S. Army Air Corps, husband of MarybeIIe Jondrow, Montana A. Two more are reported as missing when Corregidor surrendered, Colonel Ray O'Day, United States Army, husband of Juanita Gregory, Washington B, former vice.president of Lambda Province, and father of Phyllis O'Day, also Washington B, and Colonel H. F. Searight, United States A.rmy, husband of Louise Crow, Texas A; both of these are presumed to be prisoners of the Japanese. Also on Corregidor was Gerald Worthington, husband of Anne Scott Worthington, Ontario A, and when last heard of Anne herself was in Manila, and is undoubtedly there still, as a Japanese prisoner-no word of her has come for many months to her mother, Mary Herdman Scott, Alpha West Province President. Words can never express the sympathy of Pi Phis everywhere to those to whom such sorrow has come, nor to those to whom it may come in future months. It is hard for those to whom the armed services have been always a part of their lives, and for those to whom military service is all new. Many friends are dead or missing ; ships that were like familiar friends lie on the Roor of the sea; regiments are lighting in the far places of the earth; news is so long withheld that always like an overhanging cloud is the fear that something may already have happened to us, that a message of tragedy may be already on its way to usso may it come to anyone!

Now more than ever is there need of the friendship and the normal activities which Pi Beta Phi means. Essential peace time services such as our SettJement &hool must not be allowed to suffer-such things are obligations which must continue to be met, in addition to the n ew effort required by the war. That means hardship ? Yes, hardship indeed it may be

to support such long-standing obligations, and still buy War Bonds and contribute besides to all the myriad activities that have sprung up. Yet how much harder it would be if we lost the war for lack of the individual effort each one of us can 8ive-or if, in winning it, we lost from our Jives the fine privilege of service to our own proJects!

Attention, Alumnae Clubs

Central Office is being flooded these days with notices of change of address for our members. The Pi Ph.is are on the move! Perhaps a move to new jobs, perhaps to new war work, perhaps to accompany hushands to the vianity of camps or naval stations.

What are you as alwnnre clubs or as individuals doing to get in touch with new Pi Phis who have come to your locality? Hece is a task ready for your hand. Find these Pi Phis, make them welcome, bring them to your meetings, and you will have fuo doing it. A Pi Phi once said, "I never knew what my fraternity could mean to me until I married and moved to a strange city- and a Pi Phi came to call on me."

Announcements ...

A NNOUNCEMENT of Balfour Cup and National Amy B. Onken Award winners wilJ appear in the December ARROW.

The Pi Beta Phi Fellowship for 1942-43 has been awarded to Marian Webster, Ontario B. who will use it in continUlng her medical studies.

In this issue we publish again the blank for voluntary service to the Fraternity. Will you make use of it, if you, have time to devote to Pi Phi work?

The Fraternity Loan Fund has been extended to cover applicants desiring to do graduate as well as undergraduate work.

The special rate of $7.50 for Life Subscription to the ARROW for those initiated before 1908, is continued for this year. All subscriptions should be sent to Central Ollice.

For the year 1943-44, the Fraternity will offer one graduate fellowship with a value of $500. The fellowship is open to any member of the Fraternity who has receIved her bachelor's degree, and it may be used at any university which offers special opportunities in graduate work along the line desired by its holder.

Two points will be considered by the Grand Couocil in awarding the fellowship: scholastic sta ndin g and all-around development of character with its resultant ability worthily to represent the Fraternity. Each applicant must state definitely the university she wishes to enter, the courses which she desires to pursue, and the ultimate aim of her graduate study.

Applications accompanied by photographs of applicants, transcripts of college grades, credentials from college professors, and other recommendations, must be in the hands of the Grand President not later than January I, 1943.

All material must be collected by the applicant and submitted as a whole. Blank forms for application for the fellowship may be obtained from the Grand President at any time. If she so desires, any applicant of former years who has not received the fellowship may make a new application.

Report of Grand Council Meetings 1941..1942

ACALLED meeting of Grand Council was held November 30-December 2, 1941 in New York City immediately following National Panhellenic Congress. The time of the meeting was given to a discus sion of plans for the 1942 Convention scheduled for June 21·27, 1942 at Swampscott, Massachusetts , and to consideration of general fraternity business.

A mid ·year meeting of Grand Council was held in Jacksonville, Illinois, February 2'·March 4, 1942,

A report of the Conference of of Women was given by the ARRow Editor who was the Fraternity's representative at the Conference. At a ioint of Deans of Women and represen · tatives of fraternities, it was voted to recommend to National Panhellmic Congress that the decision as to whether or not chapters shall rush, pledge, or bid during summer sessions be left to individual college Panhellenics.

Grand Council authorized the Grand President as/and National Panhellenic Congress delegate to vote that National Panhellenic Congress Groups continue, as they are now doing. to support the Fraternity Compact "that stude nts in a university summer school are ineligible foe fraternity pledg· ing."

The reasons for this recommendation were:

1. The shortness of time to prepare chapters and chapter conditions for the suggested change.

2. The present indefiniteness of plans of college administrations.

3. The uncertainty as to what percentage of present undergraduate actives will register for the summe r session this year.

4. The probability that few frnhman women will enter unive.rs.ities at 1M beginning of the summer session.

However, if all members of National Panhe:l · lenic Congress favor a change which would allow groups to "rush and pledge regular college stu· dents at the beginning of each session of the college year-it being understood that college students attending the summer school oni, are in· eliRible"-Grand Council luthorized the Grand President as/and National Panhellenic Congress delegate to reverse her vote and to conform with the prevailing opinion.

Grand Council recommended. if National Pan· hellenic Congress votes for the sUAAested change, that a meeting of National Panhellenic Congress delegates be called to work out the necessary de· tails of functioning.

After discussing an offer to the Fraternity by Ida Matthjas, Washington A. whereby furniture to her could be used .In the Holt House, ptrmissi o n was obtained from Mrs Matthias to allow. member of Grand Council to imp«!: the furniture now stored in Monmouth. 1be Grand President was authorized to go to Monmouth for this purpose.

Additional uses for the Holt House were dis·

cussed. Grand Council did not approve the sug· gestion that the membership of the Fraternity be solicited by mail for funds for lhe Holt House Grand Council suggested that the Holt House Committee prepare an approved li st of Monmouth dubs which would be allowed to use the Holt Hou se.

Since the origina l site and dates of the 1942 Convention were necessarily cancelled because of the declaration of war, further discussion of the 1942 Convention in the light of the National Emergency was necessary.

Grand Council voted:

"That i( Convention be held, it be held at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park Colorado

"That the proposrd dates (or Convention be AUlust '. 1942.

'That I letter be sent to chapten ailing for a TOte on postponement of Convention, according t o the Constitu· tion.

"That the selection of a railroad for trawl to Convention, in the CffDt thlt Convention is held, be left to the discretion of the Grand President and the Grand Treu· wcr

"Thlt in the event Con«ntion is not beld, the money in the Conventioo Fund be invested immediatd, in Defense Bands."

Conditions at the Settlement School were dis· cussed at length, and suggestions of the chairman of the Settlement School Committee were considered.

Grand Council authorized a reprint, in booklet f orm, o f Agnes Wright Spring's article and the pictures of the Settlement School which appeared in the ARROW, December, 1941. It was decided that copies of the booklet be given to initiates.

The report of the appointed to sum· marize recommendations a nd suggestions from dubs. chapters, and individuals, including the suggestions from province conferences and from alumnae club questionnaires, was read and dis· cussed .t length,

Grand Council compiled the arguments for and against the major recommendations submitted on limited tenure of office and on increased alumnz representation, this compilation to be sent to dubs and chapters.

The report of the committee appointed to collect and compile sugJitestions from dubs. chapters and individuals on revision of the Constitution was reviewed and discussed..

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

To Pi Btla Phi P,aJnniIJ:

AT A 11MB so critical for Civilization itself. it .l"l. would not be for U B 4J to continue "as usual" its service to its chapters and dubs. to the collcSe5 and universities 00 whose campuses it is represented. to its great altruistic project at Gatiinbu.rg, and to its memorial at MOD· mouth, even though that service has been so high and fme that it has set a. record unequalled in the fraternity world. The goaJ for service during the year which has just begun must be set at a point never before attained even by n D 4', since it must include with that to its own established interests a new and worthy service to the war cfi'ortJ of two great nations. The goal can be reached-and it will be !-but the strivin.'!:. towards·it must be that of evecy member of the fraternity, active and alumna. since united effort alone will bring results worthy of Pi Beta Phi's seventy-6ve.yea.r-Iong record of great leadership. great achievements, and great contributions. The officers and committee members of the Fraternity are deeply conscious of the fact that 00 person could carry the responsibility of directing Pi Beta Phi's course during such crucial days if she were not strengthened by the assurance of loyal cooperation and willingness-to-serve on the part of indio vidual mmmers, active chapters, and aJumnz dubs; by • deep conviction that the fraternity gives service vitally necessary for the preservation of the ideals and standards upon the basis of which alooe the problems of today can be solved and the future can safely be built; and by a personal dedication to the things of deep, inner significance upon which n B (> was founded. Upheld by these things, they pledge themselves to go forward with you in a war-time service of inestimable importance.

College fraternities, more than any other agency, today reach and inaumce the most important people in the world-the educated leaders of tomorrow. If they should fail to mean to these college boys and girls a clarification of purposes, a strengthening of standa.rds, and guid· ance towards a full assumptioo of the responsibility which comes with the acceptaoce of special privilege, fraternities will be false to their reason for beiog and wiJl lose their right to continue. Pi Beta Phi cannot fail! In the July 1942 issue of Magni,,, of Sigma Chi, Booth Tarkington, in writing of "the ,goodwill and understanding and cheerful affection" which mean fraternity friend· ship, said: "Such brotherly friendship is always beyond price bu.t never so illimitably so as today when enemies can best be met by of indissoluble friends." The privilege of being friends in n B has never seemed so beautiful; let us our utter thankfulness for it, in a world so largely given over to enmity and batred, by manifesting a devotion to n B • than ever before _ This is oot a call to nartow selfishness; it is one to a full awakening to tI:te riches in our possession! Less young women than those who make up the active mem-

bership of n B • will find many agencies working to help thon develop to their best and greatest possibilities; your own actives will not-they are dependent upon the fraternity which you are

That the decision of the active chapters to post· pone the 1942 convention was a wise and right oae seems increasingly evident, as the government calls for greater and greater conservation of travel facilities of all kinds. Not holding the convention, however, meant the loss of an opportunity for broadened fraternity friendShips, increased understanding of fraternity needs and policies. and deepened devotion to id eals which comes with being a part of a great group of enthusiastically Joyal Pi Beta Phis. The Fraternity will give its best, however. to insure that only the joys of per· sonal contacts with other Pi Phis will actually have bttn 1051. It will work consistently to keep the members as a whole familiar with the work and development of the Fraternity and it will strive to give them, too, constant inspiration. At recent Pi Beta Phis high in the 6elds of education and youth·leadership have brought to active chapter members messages of such direct helpfulness that these have been the basis for spirited and constructive discussjons both at conventions and at chapter meetings in the months followin g conventions Now, at this time of special need. Grand Council has again called upon Mari.a Leonard, Indiana r, Dean of Women at the University of llIinois, Founder and President of A A £t. , leader in countless 6elds of civic, religious. cultural, and educational service, and has found her not- just willing but eager to give to her fraternity. Once each month for eight months of the coming coUege year, Ocan Leonard will bring to the active chapters of n B • a thought.provoking, helpful, apd inspiring messaAe and an outline fo r a chapter discussion to be based upon it. Dean Ltonard's unsel6sh giving of herseU, from a life whose normaJ demands are SO overwhelming, is of itself an inspiration and a challenge to aU Pi Beta Phis. Oara Han Sipherd Iowa H, retiring Alpha Province West President. wiJI supervise for the fraternity the use of these chapter meeting programs and discussion outlines and so will give to all chapters the constructive leadership which has been so marked in ber work with her own Province

The Settlement School, which came into being because of the Fraternity's desire to honor its Founders and to perpetuate their ideal of service to those less fortunate than themselves, offers to Pi Beta Phis a type of war service not available to those outside the Fraternity and so, especially their own The school mwt continue to meet the needs which it is always its privilege to satisfor an educational mining capable of sending out boys and ,!tids ready to take their placo as fine citizens, for a health program which fits in so splendidly with present demands for "Hale America." and for a means of livelihood which has '-ept an entire community .self-supporting and self.respecting. It must now meet, too, the added demands placed upon it by the Wllr.

Already iu staff has RivOl invaluable with the Red Cross aDd U.S.O.; its facilities and equip.. mOlt ha'"e made available for feder.Hy· conducted classes in the carc and repair of vital machinery; and it bas been made the ccnttr of the community's monle-bu..iJdina agencies of all kinds. Federal and State authorities have been apprized of the StroDg desire of the Fraternity to have its every facility at Gatlinburg used to the (ullest possible n:teot in any and every Wlr service for which it is fitted. What the future will mean in opportunities distinctive (or the school and Arrowuaft is not ytt certau\; that they will measure up to the opportunities to the fullest extent which Pi Beta Phis make possible is unquestionable. Support (or the Settlement School is support Cor an institution , the nerd for whose service has already been greatl, increased by war conditions and whose rorutant service is reason for inlinitc pride.

The Fraternity's special type of war service has, as yet, been to encourage the fullrst possible cooptration by individual members, chapters, and Illumnr clubs with loca.Uy·sct up agencies such as the Red Cross, U.S.O .• I}tfense, and 50 on. Conditions change so rapidl, that plans for other types of participation by the Fraternity as a whole have as yd not crystaJliz.ed but the Fraternity will be kept in touch with devclopmtnts. Every effort wiJl be made to insure the fact that Pi Beta Phis as a whole may Iroow of the outstanding services, hard work, and contributions made by individua1s and groups, so that the record of Fraternity's contributions durinA this world war may be complete.

A visit to Holt House today would be a stepping-back to the days of 1867 for a glimpse of as they were when the Fraternity was born! The parlor, the sitting room, and the room of the founding have b«n furnished in lovely old furniture of the period and they bring a lump to one's throat as she pictures the colleAe girls who gathered in this place to complete the founding of the Fraternity. Already Pi Beta Phis and memo bers of other fraternities from Coast to Coast have crossed the welcoming threshold of Holt House and found there a true inspiration. Among these AUcsts was Dr. Gtorge Starr Lasher, Editor and Director of Public Relations of e X Fraternity, father of Mary Eliubeth wher, Ohio A After his visit he wrote to the Grand Prrsident a letter which expressed his pleasure in the restoration and the thrill which his visit had given him. It is not possible to say how much of herself Lorette Terrell , Chairman of the Holt House Committee, has put into the restoration but it has been a labor of real love; to her, in special measure, and to the other members of her Committee, go the grateful thanks of the Fraternity for a re·creation of Holt House which is an artistic masterpiece SP«ial thanks go, too, to Ida Jamieson Matthias, Washington A; her brother; her Pi Phi daughter; and Mr Pi Phi niece for permission to use in Holt House many lovely and valuable antiques which, in 1867, were actually in use in the Monmouth home of their ancestors. In the house, feamed cards Jist the names of the donors of special gifts. In the near future , there will go to the Holt H ouse 6gurines of the twelve Founders as they were as colleAe girls, in order that those belovo:! women may l ive always in the minds and hearts of their Pi Phi family u they

actually were in appearance, drrss, and personality -for personality each little figurine truly has! The figurines are the lCift of the Jacksonville AJumn.e Oub. The Fraternity arra.D,lited for the dressing of the figurines b, Mrs. C B. Powell and Miss Janette C. PowclJ. of Jacksonville, Illinois, true historians at heart and true artists Mrs. Powdl and Miss Powell are responsible, too, for the figurines o f the Founders of P E.O. which have been placed at Cottey- College

It is the conviction of your Grand President that the chapters of the Fraternity have never been stronger, Mid a more assured position of leadership on their ampwo, or been finer in their personnel than they were at the close of the recent college year. TItat the coming year will mean continued progrrss and development and increasing fineness may conlidently be expected. Read for yourselves the reports of the officers and committee chairmen and so know just how great your pride in n B 4' should be! Note especially the fact that the report of the Committee on Scholarship shows that for the year 1940 4 41, the Fraternity established its all·time high for chapters holding lirst places on their campus fraternity scholarship lists by having twenty such first places, almost twice as many as in each of the two immediately previous years. What the coming college year will mean in decreased registration or in decreased financial ability to become fraternity pledges is as yet unknown. As always, n D 4' chapters will have held before them the ideal of quality of pledges, not quantity, but because D B 41 offers SO much of indisputable and life.lon", value. there no reason to doubt that the Fraternity'S pledge list will aRain be a long one of outstandingly splendid colle$i:e girls.

Because of its desire to make available, in advance of a possible 1942 convention, copies of its recommendations to convention, Grand Council met in late February The cancellation of convcotion canceJled, too, the necessity for a special mailing·out of thrse recommendations, since they now appear in the Information ARROW, available to the entire Faternity many months before con· vention. All Fraternity members are urged to make a complete study of the minutrs of Grand Council meeting, of the report of the survey of N.P.C. fraternities' aJwnnle organization and limited tenwe of office regulations, and of all reports in the Infonnation ARRow, and to supplement this with a "refresher coune" in fraternity publications, copirs of which may always be borrowed from Central Office. for study. Know yow Fraternity as it really is, not as someone else may think it is!

The uncertainty about what college and fra· temity conditions miRht be this fall led to Grand Council's decision to postpone its meeting, usually convened just before convention or during the summer, until late September or early October, when statistics for fan registrations, fraternity pledgings, and active chapter memberships would be available. Decisions about national awa.rds are being made through correspondence and these will be announced either in the Information or the December ARROW. The n B • Fellowship for 1942-43 has been awarded to Marion Webster, Ontario B, who wiJl work towards her Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of Wrstern Ontario. During the summer, Marion has served

as interne at the Stratford Hospital in Stratford, Ontario, and the interest apparent there on the part of the entire community in her fellowship and in the fraternity which granted it, and the recognition which she herself received for her abilities and capabilities have been heartwarming. Applications for the Fellowship for 1943-44 should reach the Grand President by January 1, 1943. Appli cation blanks and full information about the award will be sent at any time upon request. The fellowship is open to any graduate member of the Fraternity and may be at any recognized university.

The reports of the Grand Vice-.President and the Chairman of the Settlement School Committee cover so fully the work of the alumn2 department and the Settlement School that it seems unnecessary to do more than express great pride in the achievements of both and deep appreciation for service of the hiAhest order. Reports of other officers and committee chainnen complete the picture of • year of exceptional accomplishments.

Durin,R: the past year, the Settlement School Committee lost from its personnel Agnes Wri,R:ht Spring, its splendid [Jill, editor, and Irene Eldridge, its competent and faithful treasurer, members who have meant much in furtherin,ct the success of the Settlement School. The two new members, Mildred Odell Sale and Ann Leichliter Munn bring specialized talents and broad understanding to thei.r work and have already proved themselves worthy of a place on the list of devoted Pi Phi.s who have ,given so freely of themselves to the School. Lolita Snell Prouty, former secretary of the Committee. has taken over the work of the treasurer in a most capable way.

The pressure of family responsibilities or war conditions which caB for changes of address or for speciaJ service meant loss, this summer of some of the Fraternity's most loyal, capable, and loved officers . The Grand VicePresident will announce the changes in the official of the department From the group of Province Presidents, the Grand President hu siven up with regret Clara Hall Sipherd, Mary Hanley Brooks, Gertrude Dttr Owen'. Geraldine Mars Ristine, and June Harris Granger, whose exceptionall, fine leadership and ability are reflected in the strength of the chapters with which they have worked The 60e service given by Florence Butler. treasurer of the Holt House Committee, wilJ be (Jrried on by her suc-

cessor, Iantha Silence Perfect, also of the Mil. waukee Alumnr Club. and that given by Sancha Kilbourn Garvey Chairrflan of the Committee on Transfers, by Katherine Hosmer. The Grand President is positive that she is expressing the deep gratitude of the entire Fraternitv when she expresses her own for the loyaltv and devotion which have meant that officers who could continue have done so.

the past year, the Fraternity worked closely with a petitioning group at DePauw Uni · versity, colonized durinil; last fall's rushing season throu.iI;h the work of the alumnz of GreencastJe and Indianapolis and a ctives from chapters in Illinois and Indiana, under the direction of Marianne Re id Wild. Ass istant to the Grand VicePresident .and Mary Lou Stanfield, Colorado B, who represented the Fraternity as a senior at DePauw and served the group IS its excellent president. Remarkable success in rushing against established chapters of strong nationals and in buildin,ct up a group which holds a high place in the esteem and liking of the administration and of the student body resulted in the- group's receiving, this spring the unanimous vote of Grand Council and of the Delta Province chapters approvin.ll; the chartering of n + E as Indiana B. Installation will be August 31 to September 2, and will add to the Fraternity'S roll of chapters one worthy of its place there. The appreciation of the Fraternity for the helpfulness: of the administrative officers of DePauw and for their inter est in a chapter of (J B • for their campus is very great, as is that which goes out to its own members who played so big a part in the success at DePauw During the coming year, Jeanne Stith, Iowa A. will act as the fraternity's represegtative on the campus, and Marianne Reid Wild, A, will continue as Special Adviser.

As Pi Beta Phi's National Panhellenic Delegate. the Grand President, with other Grand Council members, attended the meeting of N.P C. held in New York City late in November. and at that meeting, took office. through automatic as Treasurer of N.P C. and member of its Executive Committee, She has appreciated always Pi Beta Phi's interfraternity friendliness and co. operation but she asks that these qualities be made increasillAly evident as the Fraternity assumes , through its delegate, inctea5ed responsibility for making constructive the work of the association of twenty-one national fraternities

DurinR the pa.st year, the Gf2nd President made official visits to ArkanSlj A Misso uri r Wash A and B. Alberta A. Idaho A, A, and Oregon A and B, and found a lasting happiness in the .ct:racious welcome of the$e hostess chapters and in the 6rst-ha nd knowledge of their strength and fineness . She had the pleasure, too of being the Ruest of the alumnae dub s in fayette: ville; Springfield, Missouri ; Everett; Seattle; Bozeman ; Edmonton; Pullman ; and Eugene at the times of her chapter visits; of being included with other Grand Counal members as guests of the Jacksonville Illinois, alumnae club at the time of Grand Council meetiDA ; and of shari ng the great inspiration of the seventy fifth anniversary Founders' Day celebrations at Qapel Hill.

To .11 whose friendliness, cooperation. helpfulness, and loyalty have made a year of exceptionally heavy fraternity work possible. the Grand Presi· dtnt expresses her ntver-to-be.lorAotten gratitude; this goes out in special to the other membels of Grand Council, to the Province Presi dents with whom she has worked SO especially c1osel, and happily. and to the active chapter officers who. too. have given her such lasting inspiration throuAh their cooperation and fine leadership

The Grand President believes that Pi Beta Phis everywhere will find, as she has found. new COurage to stand fast for the things that are finest and btst in an expression of ideals and purposes given in an editorial by Jan McQuillen, Iowa Z. in that chapter's Th. Dar', issuea this summer for its aJumnr and rushees :

"rh Dart-from the actives of Iowa Z of IT B • to aU its alums everywhere; but this year,

most especially to the alUJD5 who were actives during the first World War. Because they, more than anyone else. can realjle the am solemnity Pi Phi holds in days like thtse. They can sense the new meaninA the ritual s have in a worl d changed 50 abruptly. They can sympathize with the sudden arch in the throat as we realize that education and ideals are perhaps the only stable things in life. Those Pi Phis of the other war will see in this DllrI , more quickly than most readers, evidences of the transition we are maJcing; evidences of the new position we must occupy, n either scatterbrained Susie Sororities nor Kn ow· lt-A II Collegians; evidences of a new kind of college life ; evidences, too. of the same Pi Phi they know and will always lo ve."

With the spirit of the Fraternity'S undergraduates whit this editorial expresses, n B • can face the future unafraid!

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE.PRESIDENT

To 'he alumna> 0/ Pi Blla hPi:

SINCE the last annual message to the alumor, important changes have come to all of us in our responsibilities, thought, and daily lives Through draft or volunteer service, the Pi Beta Phis of these United States have been affected as have hem. our Canadian chapters and clubs for several years and the bond between has beeo drawn closer still. America's first effort now is toward the swiftest possible conclusion to this heinous war. As in all wars, while the brutality and excitement of actual conAict must rest upon the manpower of our nation , the burden of calm spirit, effective execution of many duties not nor· mally theirs, and wise thinking for the future fill upon the WOmen.

What is the role of the Pi Beta Phi aJumnr? Because any fraternity as such draws its members, selectively, from the privileged. its members sholllJ have particular ability to meet emergencies as they arise. Because Pi Beta Phi endeavors, from the time a girl becomes a pledge, to develop those inherent qualities of balance. leadership. and judltment to fit her to become In educated citizen, a Pi Beta Phi 4()eJ have the specialized ability so needed now In the present crisis she is proving and will continue to prove this to be true.

Under the prevailing conditions, it is not surthlt some of the aims of a1umnz de· partment officers for their clubs, in our seventy· fifth anniversary year, may have fallen short. I t is splendid that 50 many clubs have recognized that old oblijp,tions must be met and present commitments carried out. The Province VicePresidents whose provinces this year have failed to show the customary gain in numbers offer severaJ explanations: first of aJl, the upsetting and distracting inAuence of war; then perhaps the lick of the approach bv the clubs to the new graduates fcom whose numbers each ,ear new material is • lack of effort by the membership ch.ainDtD; and in some instances,

their own personal failure to give the adequate supervision and encouragement so necessary for every club.

Your very careful survey of all province offi· cers' reports and charts in the Information ARROW is Ul,2entl, requested but your Grand Vice· Preside nt Ollis your attention to some of the outstanding achievements of the year at this time. Should some be overlooked, it is through failure to have all reports at hand (or reference as this account is compiled.

Alumne club memben:hips show an increase this year in Alpha East, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Ztta, Eta, Theta, Iota, and Lambda provinces AmonA the clubs deserving special note (or thei.r emphasis upon membership are these able to secure alum nr dues from all their resident alumnr They are Montreal, Portland, Me , Gary, Jefferson City, L ittle Lakeland, field, JlI., Cheyenne, Hutchinson, Manhattan. Poudre VllIey, Colo., Ardmore, Shreveport, Cal· P'l, Olympia, Pullman, and Wenat chtt

Those dubs which offer to the young graduate whose first year national dues are already paid through constitutional requirement, the first year's local club membership dues as a gift, have found it a splendid way to attract her to Pi Phi activity and to secure her youthful enthusiasm and ability in their club work-.

Junior auxiliaries in the cities continue to prove their value to the younger alumnr. It is an inspiration to find these groups working shoulder to shoulder with the senior group for Settlement School benefits, Arrowcraft sales and the furtherance of our interest and to realize that Pi Beta Phi, thouAh celebratinA its seventy·fifth birthday, continues to be IAeless in spirit.

New clubs have been formed io Schenectady (Alpha West), where .n alumor club has proved of great pleasure to the many youn.2 alumn2 arrivin,2 as their husbands take technical positions there; in Jackson (Zeta province) has been formed the rust alumn", dub in the state of MU-

Oklahoma Other groups from coast to coast have manifested an interest in getting together fcom tim e to time during the year and from these little we are hopeful of strong thriving clubs within the

One of the aims for all clubs is one hundred per cent participation in the three fraternity proj· «ts and particularly was it asked this year in honor of our diamond iubilee. No one saw the extenuating circumstances of actual war and be<:ause, in spite of them, some were able to meet their goal, we feci a special honor roll is due them:

Gamma Province had one hundred cent par· ticipation in all projects save for one club which failed ro give to H olt House and all totals showed an increase over l ast year. Al pha East and Beta provinces had all but one club giving to the Sett l ement School. Province had nine out of dubs contributing one hundred per cent; Epsilon had six out of eleven, with one hundred per cent contributions to the Settlement School. Zeta Province had six out of eleven; Eta, three out of Theta, ten out of fifteen; with all fifteen giving to the Settlement School ; Iota, twelve out of seventeen and all but one club of the province gave to the Settlement School; Lambda. eight out of nineteen; and Mu, eleven out of twenty·four.

To read the sp lendid reports of the Settlement School year and the plans o f the national com· mittee for the future should make every alumna who has had a share in this achievement glow with pride. The regular donations to the School have been augmented by a fine increase in Magazine commissions. Many clubs inoe2Sed their missions and many others assisted in enlarging this field. Another year will find the same and still other contenders for the prizes offered by ' the publishing company and the fra ternity for the largest commissions earned, the lar.qest per capita commission and the greatest percentage increase, held this year by the Dtover, Casper and Mos· cow dubs , respectively

The largest Settlement School donations of the year came from Cleveland. long a Joyal supporter of the School . with Close behind were St. Louis with $700 and then Los Angeles with $411.38. The Fraternity is grateful indeed for dollar so eagerly earned and so loyally forwarded. These donations, with earned magazine commissions. special gifts and the ron· tinued increased income from Arrowcraft sales mean continued pcoRress in Gatlinburg and an inoeuing respect for oW' pbilanthrophy from the country at large

Increased sale of ArrowcraIt products has meant increased possibilities in the School and munity and continued assistance to the weavers. Among the many dubs which have sponsored sales this year, several deserve special comment. Two top the Jist: Berkeley stands 6rst for the second year, having sold this year $1887.48 while the

Boston dub has ,1.8'2.78 to its credit. All tboe figures are to July 1 date. In the order of their total sales Seattle ($840 62), Beaumont ($701.60), Honolulu ($6)9.01), Westchester County, N.Y. ($641.H), Portland, Ore ($630 00), New York City ($)90.08), Manhattan ($)30.00) follow, while in the four hundred dollar class arc Mil. waukee. Champaign-Urbana, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Oeveland.

That the Honolulu club, in spite of its harrow. ing experien ces and the evacuation of many of its members has been able to make its customary contribution of S 100 to the Settlement School and, in additioo, to seU morc than $600 worth of Arrowcraft products , with its account paid in full , is a tribute to its spirit. onc which tJl the fraternity a stirring example of fraternity loyalty and one which every dub could do well to emulate.

Again we call attention to those Canadian clubs which have so consistently carried their fuJI share of fraternity activity in spite of their terrific burdens of war which each year arc cumulative . These are Montreal, previously mentioned as • hundred per cent membership club. London and Winnipeg.

The Settlement School and other reports will carry comments on the contributions by the ac· tive chapters to our various projects but it is not amiss to include here, too, a brief word of appre· ciation Delta, Eta, Kappa. Lambda and Mu Province chapters were one hundred per cent in contributions to the Settlement School and the Loan Fund while Epsilon and Zeta Chapters gave one hundred per cent to the Settlement School.

Loan Fund donations from aJumoz clubs measure up well with last year's and are satisfying to the committee because demands have not inoused greatly.

Contributions to the Holt restoration show an increase over last year. As moce alumnz see Holt House for themselves and appreciate its charm of period beauty, commemorating, in Mon. mouth, the founding of Pi Beta Phi still more widespread will be the approval of the 1940 Convention's decision to maintain this memorial through the years,

Club questionnaires have brought new and varied ideas for the four constitutionally required meetings as well as the regular programs. Clubs have used the new film to advantage in publicizing the Settlement School. One club had its constitutional meeting presented through the medium of visual education with paper dolls; another with a Professor Quiz program. One group benefited from a program on "Boob-Their Place in American Defense"; a number have used Tim;r outlines on current topics; some consider Husbands' niRht, their best; one club listed its most outstanding program of the year, a visit to Central Office. certainly a reaJ education on fraternity efficiency with Beatrice Purdunn as guide. Many clubs have liked especially the social gatherings as definite relief from the strain of war eHort 00 so many other days of the month

Diverse methods have been used to aid the active chapters. Money or other Rifts and help in chapter house Snancing were listed most frequently. The Portland, Maine dub presents an award to the most cooperative Sophomore in its provincc

The Cincinnati club gi\' cs a scholarship cup to the high rankinA; chapter of its province . These are given as possible examples of what a dub may do when unfortunately it is too far from an active chapter to know its special needs and desires

Founders ' Day was fittingly celebrated. among dubs and chapters alike with the nth anniversary as the primary theme but with plans rightly simplified from the standpoint of economy, the difficulties of transportation, and in some districts, the possibility of The largest Jur reported was in Indianapolis when actives from all four Indiana chapters and alumnz from all over the state, four hundred. seventeen strong, gathered for luncheon. Guests of the day were members of Pi Pbi Epsilon from De Pauw University, soon to become Indiana Epsilon of Pi Beta Phi.

Here we would mention an o ther bridging of the years by another means, one of great pleasure to old er-ever young alumnz, and instigated by Iowa Beta. Forming the "Order of the Golden A.rrow," they honor each of their own alumnz as she passes her fiftieth anniversary of initiation into the chapter Grand Council, recognizing the particular fitness of cherishing our I.C.s and all those who reach this honor position, has recommended for Convention considerat ion, the estab· lishment of such a national order. In addition to whatever each chapter may wish to do for its own aJumnz at such a milestone, the fraternity would send a special membership certificate and would present to those not already subscribers, life subscriptions to the ARRow, With the lack now of any living Founder, this would seem an especial honor to confer upon the older generations

In addition to carefully planned programs, good budgets and able Ways and Means committees have spelled success. This coming year difficulties of transportation may mean fewer meetings or in larger cities, some group or sectional meetings may be necessary This past year, constitutional requirements have been met, with very few exceptions. It is particularly urged that all clubs use the ritua] for their business meetings whenever possible. One dub president decided this year that every member should Jmow tlle ritual and say it with greater meaning, which meant a finer dub year foe all, in the opinion of its members.

From a president whose dub has ;narc than doubled its membership this year, I quote:

'"The Wichita club has more than doubled its paid membership this year. Reasons-

1. We sent out the year books with a bill for dues and hostess fee be/o" the first meeting. (We had more dues paid at first meeting than ever before.)

2. CarefuJ selection of committee chairmen.

3. Executive Board met before each meeting. Result-meetings went off more smoothly with less wrangling.

4. Good programs.

S, The telephone committee fu.nctioned beautifully. The chairman picked a committee with voir es and each alumna was called before each meeting. No one felt left out.

6. We made typewritten names with the first name to be pinned on at each meeting.

As I see it--organization-with as many serving on committees as possible, and personal attention make for a well-knit dub ." To this could be added, Snc leaderShip can mean a successful and

happy ycar. Much depends upon the spirit and the personality of club officers.

Appreciation is here expressed to the special (Helen Russell, Northern New Jersey, Emily Yaple, Ddroit, Mildred Sale, Dallas) which so ab ly summarized the suggestions received from Province of last year. This material on major issues was scnt to all alumnI! dubs and chapters in anticipation of Convention. For the same purpose, that of summarizing in advance of convention, sugp;estions on changes in the Constitution. a committee from the club. headed by Laura Knapp, functioned for Grand Council; to her and her thanks are also expressed. Likewise our appreciation goes to another alumnae (El izabeth Ban, Columbus, Roberta Rowland, Burlington, Jowa, Isabel Cramer, St. Louis) which has been working on some possible manner of securing an increase in alumna! life memberships but to date has drawn no conclusions. Suggestions will be happily received by your Grand Vice President and referred to a commiuee which will function during the coming year.

N always the fraternity urged club participation in community needs and to these, since December, have been added cver iDcreasinA service to our country. Space cannot be given here to list the many pla ces of leadership in the war program, individual Pi Phis hold today. We &Ie exceediOAIy proud of them and an issue of the Auow will feature at least some of these women.

Our Canadian clubs, because of their longer participation, have been thoroughly organized in war work (or some time but rapidly. many other alumnz clubs have as units. To name a few: St . Louis has an "Arrow Volunteer Unit in Red Cross"; New York City organized and headed the PanheJlenic Unit of A.W , F .S.; Los An geles organized a Grey lady Unit and in addition, has and staffed several recreational rooms for various army units; New Orleans has its own Bandage Rolling Unit; has its own unit which meets weekly and which guaranteed that every member would have one hundred hours of Red Cross by July 1; Seattle has furnished a reading and recreational room at the Naval Air Station there; San Francisco, together with man, other war duties, contributed $100 toward the purchase of auxiliary mobile lights; Hartrord assisted in a Rolling Kitchen Unit; Pasadena has given able assistance to the Visiting Nurses' Association there; Denver has a unit of A W V S. reAistered in its name; Reno has a " Pi Beta Phi AlumnlC Club Canteen Unit"'; Bloomfield Hills also has its own Red Cross unit and in addition serves and doughnuts to indUClee5 from their area; Miami raised $272 for Bundles for Bluejackets; Baltimore and Toledo organized their own First Aid units; the M.inneapolis Afternoon dub has sewed !tgularly together for Red Cross since June 1941 while the new Evening dub organized a Home Nursing Unit.

Though perhaps greater opportu nities present themselves in the IarAer cities or in key defense areas, clubs have done much. Less than ten percent failed to report some form of defcnst work on their quotionnaires. Group activities ranged from cookie donations up to 340 dozen by one dub to the purchase of War stamps

and bonds; from lmitting and to tions of money to U.S.O., Red Cross or local defense causes; from serving as hostesses or chap.. crons at entertainment centers to donations to the Blood Banks; three clubs, Topeka. Ardmore, and Fresno, each reported adopting and sewing for an English refugee child and his family .

Meanwhile local projects have not been over looked for Community Funds, Day Nurseries, children. Children,' Hospitals. the Y W C.A., Camp Fire Girl Scout, or other agen. cies have shared Pi Phis' spirit of ht-lpfulness.

The postponement o f Convention brought ao. other disappointment in a long Jist of those result· ing (rom war. It has brought heavier burdens to all those in places of fraternity responsibility which can only be carried with the fullest understand inA and cooperation on the part of all. Each club's effort to continue as normally and effectively as ever, without the help and inspiration which Convention only can -'l:ive, must be met by every officer's rtsolution to give to her dubs all possible enthusiasm and ability. Pulling together, there cannot fail to be another fine year ahead for each province of the department

The fraternity is fortunate in that it loses only one Province Vice President this year but it is with extreme regret that we have accepted the resiAllation of Winifred Smith Paige, Zeta Province Vice President. Her dubs., to whom she has endeared herself so deeply, will share the loss. Her office has been 611ed b, the appointment of Helen Cavenaugh Lloyd (Mr. John H ). Florid. r, from the Miami Alumna! club, whom we welcome most cordially.

The Grand Vice President made chapter visits this year to Nova Scotia A, Maine A, Massachusetts A, Vermont A and B, in connection with her attendance, together with the others of Grand Council, at the of National Panhelleoic Congress in New York City. Later in the Ohio A, B and Pennsylvania B and r, West Virginia A and Utah A were also visited These contacts gave her renewed faith in the college girl of today and fraternity enthusiasm and pride were rekindled by the very wum welcome accorded her everywhere and by the splmdid evidence of the supervision which Pi Phi officers give to their chapters It was also her pleasure to be the first house guest of Washington A in its beautilul new chapler home and, because of her nearness to them, to be honored on several other occasions during the college year.

Fine contacts were very much enjoyed with the alumna! clubs of Salt Lake City. Portland, Me.• Halifax. BurlirlAton, Vl, Hartford, Columbw, Athens. Delaware, the Central Pennsylvania club, and throuSh a conference. with the presidents of severa l of the clubs in the Chicago Together with the others of Grand Council as honor guests, she enjoyed the hospitality of the New York City alumnlC club at their annual ttl. and Arrowcraft sale in Beekman T ower and the Jack sanville, III. alumnr club at luncheon durinA the Februa.ry meeting of the Council there. To sum up one's feeling after visiting with all these Rrand Pi Phis, she could quote from the report of a Province Vice President who said that in each place visited everyone was so very nice she would like to Jive the:re. Surel, there is no finer cordiality than that of Pi B.ta Phis'.

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY

TIB duties: of the Grand Secretary are not only those of routine involved in .cting as Recording and Corresponding Secretary for the Fraternity. The Grand Secretary is privileged, too, to work directly with Alumnae Advi50ty Committees and with the Standing Committees of the Fraternity. These com· mittees are made up of aJumnz who stand back of the froot line of undergraduate frateroity life as a reserve battalion,-l potent force ready to assist with plans and with direct action when help is needed.

During the past year the four hundred and twenty mcmbcn of AJumnr Advisory and the mcmben of Standing Committees have continued to give constructive help to chapters as their respective positions demanded, both through personal contacts with chapter members and through directive correspondence with them. Because the work of all these committees is so cJoselv interwoven. it has been stressed this past year that frequent and close contacts be maintaina:l between the chapter advisors and the supervisors of chapter committees whenever that was possible.

Reports of all committees indicate that the closing days of the school yeat jUJt passa:l brought new and unusuaJ problems to be faca:l. The Pi Phis making these reports realize along with other fraternity officen and members that alumnr a.re 80ing to be called upon in this great emergency to contribute C\'e n more generously of time and thought, to inslU:e for the youth of today the continuity of our Fraternity which so richly contributa:l to their character building in undergraduate days. This condition is a direct cbaUen,2e to Alumnz Advisory Committees wd to Standing Committen-one which means definite service to a very special group of American and Canadian youth, our active Pi Phis-and one which, in turn, is a direct contribution to defense.

It has our aim, aJways, to provide adequate help a nd iospirttion for these committees through manuals, through regular reports and instructions, and through personal correspondence-and for StandinA Committees, through quuterly issues of T h. Llade,-ls Dig.II, Experience has proved that strength and real accomplishments are in direct proportion to reR;ular contacts maintained and to cooperation given,

It is a real satisfaction to the Fraternity and to the committees themselves that the work of the past year has been carried on with increased efficiency, due largely to the speci6c directions Aiven in the new manuals. The work of Standing Committees is best told by the reports of committee chairmen found elsewhere in this issue of ARROW. AlumOie Advisory Committees report semiannuaJly and annuall, to the Grand Secreta.ry.

These reports give definite evidence of a dear of chapter problems and indicate the intelligent and effective way in which chapters have been assisted.

Supervision has been given to the two chapters chartered at the 1940 Conventioo--Wisconsin Gamma and Tennessee Beta-and to the group at DePauw which was workinR for a chartO' and which has It'Cently become Indiana Epsilon. One chapter, only. of the eighty-three chapters of the Fraternity was under special supervision and it has responded exceedingly well to suggestions and to assistance 2iven.

These duties of supervision, as welJ IS those involved in actinA as secretary for the Fraternity have been made pleasant and stimulatinA because of the fine spirit of cooperation and the gratifying response by all Pi Phis contacta:l,

The Grand Secretary had the privileAe this year, along with the other members of Grand Council, of attending the National PanheJlmic Con,kteSS in New York City and the joint meeti ngs of that body and the National Interfraternity Council.

Inspiratio n and renewed enthusiasm came when contacts were made with the fine girls of our active chapters. DurinA the yetr just passed the following chapters were visited: Alabama A; Georgia A; Florida A. B, and r; Oklahoma A. and B; Tens A and B; and Louisiana A. and B. Very happy associations were made possible by contacts with alumnc in BirmiQAham. Alabama; Atlanta, Georgia; Deland and Orlando, Florida; Oklahoma Gty. Norman and Stillwater, Oklahoma; Dallas and Houston, Texas; and Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana; and with the Jacksonville, Illinois dub at the time of Grand council meeting in Jacksonville.

Founden' Day observance this year was especially appealing and insriring. It was a privilege to be a part 0 Texas AJpba's FortIeth Birthdav celebration and its observance of the Fraternity's Seventy-fifth Anniversary. The Grand Secretary was hiPPY to attend the joint Founders' Day luncheon of the Santa Monica and the Los AnAeles clubs and that of the Pasadena and the Glendale clubs, and it was with regret that the invitations of the LonA Beach and the San D iego clubs could not be accepted.

In these stirring days when all of us are anxious to serve OUt country well. it is a real satisfaction to this officer to have a part in keepin,2 alive and virile the already-established and well·functioning organization of Pi Beta Phi-2n international defense project second to none, and an institution which must be preserved if peace is to be won.

REPORT OF THE GRAND TREASURER

Urbana, IIlino i J ANgUJI l.5, 1942

To the Grand Couneil of t h e Pi Beta Phi Fraternit,.

IHAVE audited the Cash Receipts and Ex· penditures of YOU[ Grand Treasurer, Mrs . Lois F. Stoolman, for the period August 16, 1941 to August 1, 1942.

In connection with the examination of the various accOunts and records, cash receipts from the different sources were traced into the several books of ",couct and cash disbursements, as evidenced by checks ca nceUed and returned by the banks, were compared with the relative cash book entries and found to be in accordance therewith The balan ce of cash on hand, as shown by the books, was satisfactorily reconciled with the amounts as shown on deposit by the banks. Securities belonging to the various funds are carried in the books and statements at cost price. Those

in the hands of the Grand Treasurer were in· spected during the course of the audit.

come to Canada With the of war after Pearl Harbor, th e re has come a marked chanJ;e in the subject matter of the material submitted, an increased empha sis on serious thing s in chapter and alumnI! club letters.

Even before Pea rl Harbor, this change appeared in the articles sent in for the "What a Fraternjty Girl Thinks ," Both the editor of that section and the edito r of the ARROW felt that there was evidenctd a great improvement over those of the previous year. M ost of the articles showed serious

thought; and although they were written in October, many girls chose to write of the war which was to come and of the part which our chapters might play in a then only possible war effort; besides this , when the subjects chosen related purely to colleAc and chapter life. the treatment was moce careful, the thinking much morc worthwhile

The section of Pi Phi personalities hal presented Pi Phis active in various important work; chapter letters have told of campus Red Cross activities. much sewing, and always much Imitting; letters told of meetings given over to Red Cross work of all kinds. as well as Ihe individual efforts of members towards the war effort. These things have become the every-day activities of Pi Phis everywhere. EVQl the alumna: reflect the war, ' in the Areat increase in the number of wedding announcements!

Two issues of the year have been unusual in their size and their contents. In December we gave many additional pages to a graphic presentation of the Settlement School, inspired by the of Grand Council and the Settlement School Committee that the School as it exists today should again be presented to our membership. and especially that our people in Gatlinburg should be introduced to Pi Phis everywhere. To the brilliant histori ca l text of Agnes Spring's article were added the nne photographs made especially for the ARRow by Dorothy MacLean, M, of Gatlinburg If we may by reader reaction shown in the wonderful letters of appreciation which came to the Editor following that issue, our Auow readers enjoyed it and litained from it a new point of view on the School. To all who wrote those letters, and for all those kind messages. the Editor wishes to express the deepest appreciation. Later in the year Grand Council voted to have that section of the ARRow made up in the form of booklets, to be given hereafter to all initiates into the Fraternity; this has been done. and the boolc.lets are ready for FaJ I distribution.

The May issue honored the seventy·!ifth anniversary of IT B 40 by a presentation of our Founders as they really were, in an article written by Frances Rosser Brown, National Historian. which showed her fine appreciation and love for the past of the Fraternity. The article was written for the ARROW by Dr. James Grier, son of Ada Bruen Grier, Founder, and the Editor cherishes the memory of a very persoDal talk with Dr. Grier about his mother and the other Founders when she made her official visit to Monmouth in the Fall of 1941. War conditions forced the abandonment of two cherished plans for the year. 1be Editor had hoped to present to the Fraternity a folio of pictures o f chapter houses and active chapters as they existed OD the seventy-fifth anniversary; this proved to be entirely too expensive, and was given up with regret, at least on the part of the Editor Al so. when Convention was planned for the New Ocean House, Swampscott, Massachusetts, this June, the finest sort of cooperation from that hotel had resuJted in some of the most interesting and beautiful publicity material that a Convention has ever had. with many fine pictures and cuts Then arne Pearl Harbor, the plans for Convention were perforce changed, and the fine pictures had to be returned. With them went our thanks to Mr. Gernent Kennedy (now Colonel Kennedy, U S.A.•

on active duty). manager of the hotel, and to Miss Duffy, the assistant manager, for all their kindne ss and their interest.

During the year the ARROW Staff has had o nly one change Agnes Wright Spring, Wyoming A, Editor of News from lillie Pil,eon, and former ARROW Editor, was forced by ill health to resign, much to the regret of all Pi Phis Her place was taken by Mildred Odell Sale, North Dakota A, whose experience with Pan Pipes of :z A I, as well as her work with the National Professional Panhellenic, of which she is now president, lit her splendidly for the work.

The Staff has seemed to the Editor to be even more efficient and more interested than ever, in spite of war work whi ch includes absorbing tasks such as air raid warden and worker in a filter center. To th e m lito a full measure of gratitude for aU their fine work for the ARROW

During the year the paper scarcity gave great concern. Rising prices and small supplies forced a slight drop in the quality of the paper used, one so little different in appearance that probably many readers never noticed the change. It was possible to be sure of only enough for one issue at a time, on account of the large quantity required for the printing of an is sue of our present circulation30.650 were printed in May, using much more than a carload of paper. However, now in June the paper shortage appears to be a thing of the past-it has now been reported to me that 'the paper situation has cleared up almost to the point where we need no longer worry about it:' The publishers of the ARROW , the George Banta Publishinj;t Company, have continued their fine service, although under what must at times have been serious difficulties, since many of their workers are beinlit called into the armed forces, and such skilled people are hard to replace General costs such as wages are showing an increase, keeping pace with the cost of living, and there may be a slilitht increase in such items as typesetting for another year.

A statement of the cos t of the AAAow and also of the investments of the A1lROW Endowment Fund appears in the report of the Grand Treasurer

Durin$t the year the Editor has found much interest and much education in attending National Panhellenic in New York, including the Editors' Conference; at the latter , ChristeJle Ferguson. X 0 Editor, was the new president, and the Editor of the ARROW became secretary of the The Editor also represented n B at the meeting of the National Association of Deans of Women at the Fairmont H otel i n San Francisco in February. On her way to NationaJ Pan hellenic, the Editor made chapter visits to all chapters in Eta Province, and was besides privileged to meet with several alumnr clubs along her route: at Carthage, III. , as the guest of Miriam Williams, Eta Province President ; in Mo nmouth, where a tea given by the alumnz at the H o lt House gave a first thrillin.c!: view of the reconstruction there; at Decatur, 111. , an evening meeting where the Settlement School film was shown ; at Champaign, a delightful tea at the chapter howe; Be1oit, a supper party with the in the new house; and Fox River Valley. a luncheon which also included Mrs . MacClyment. province vice-president, who was miling her visit to the club at the same time. The Editor was also invited by the North Shore Club (now the Chicago North Subusban) to

attend their Decmlbec meet-inA. but the time conBicted with her visit to Wisconsin B. arran,R:ed long before. However, the president of the dub came to the chapter of IUinois E for a visit which had to be all too brief

Aohs TAYLOR ALPORD

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT

HB past year has been one of many changes, a year when one and all have become more and more conscious of what counts and of what does not. In many instances there has had to be rapid readjustment but from all points one is struck by the earnest desire to meet what is required .

There has been very little change in the ments from this office. but there has been an attempt to the chapterS closer together by sharing problems and ideas. Everyone seems anxiow to help one another, and to hear what other persons are doing. Through questionnaires and letters the Assistant to the Grand President has attempted to help to devel op this working together among the chapters

In September, the rush captains received a letter and questionnaire which drew to their attention the various rules and regulations necessary to their carryiDA: out their responsibilities to the fullest extent. There were no changes in these regulations, but this coming year a list of the opening dates of all colleges or universities where there are n B 4> chapters is to be forwarded to each rush captain. From this list she will be able to judge whether or not a chapter will be back and in a position to give its approval or otherwise of a rushee if she has been a student on their campus, when necessary, and according to regulation If a chapter has not yet retumed, then a rush captain will from this list of dates be in a position to know to write direct to the Grand President for permission to pledge a rushee who has attended previowly a college where ther-e is a chapter of n B +. We hope that this adjustment will do away with a J!;reat deal of wasted time.

A letter and Questionnaire were sent out to pledge supervisors, the latter part of September. The training of our pledges is 50 very important, and we cannot stress too much the necessity of making a wise choice of pledge supervisor. From the many letters received from the pledge super· visors durin.a: the year, one cannot help but realize that this past year has oroved to be no exreption in the Fratemity's having excellent officers training its pled,lites. As much personal help as possible was given where neded , and the number of pledges initiated l\:hows that Pi Beta Phi has had its usual successful year. These figures are shown in the Report from Central Office . Health certi.ficates for all employC6 handling

food in n B 4> chapter houses is a national requirement. There are several chapters who do not have houses, hut the great maiority of chapters do live in houses and each of these houses has at lea st one persOn to prepare the food. These employees must have a clear b ill of health at the time of being coJitaA:ed each year. Several universities and colleges assist this measure by giving free medical examinations, but whatever the system, the employee mwt be examined . The Fraternity depends On each chapter president and Alumnae Advisory Board to see that this regulation is met, and to ascertain whether or not this requirement had been met, a questionnaire was sent to the chapter presidents in November. Some chapters, at that time, were still not aware of this requirement, and, therefore. steps will be taken to have it to their attention each year when the faJl supplies are sent out late in the summer.

In order to get the most accurate for the Dumber pled,ged during the year, forms are sent to each pled;;:e supervisor to be completed and returned, one to Centrd Office and one to the Ass istant to the Grand Presi dent. This office would like to thank the officers who cooperated so fully in this respect. It is onl,. through such cooperation that complete records for a chapter can be main· tained

The pledge supervisors and rush captains were again written to in February, and plans for the hold-over pledges discussed with the pledge suoervisors; and spring rushing and early preparation for the major cushing period were discwsed with the tush captains. To think things well out in advance cannot be stressed too much with any officer.

It was the pleao;ure of the Assistant to the Grand President to visit Manitoba A in February, and Minnesota A and North Dakota A in April. Since she used to be province president for these chapten, it was like being home to be with them ',Rain While visiting North Dakota A it was de· lightful to meet with the alumnre at luncheon and renew many old friendships After being for three or four years out of direct touch with these chap.. ters, such as one has when a province president, it was indeed enjoyable to be back with them and gratifying: to find them progressing SO splendidly.

Since money cannot readily be sent from Canada to the United States, the Assistant to the Grand

War work is becoming part of the curriculum everywhere A year ago the American chapters in Theta Province made afAhans for Manitoba .A to present to the Red Cross. To-day we atC!' all in the war tO Aether and it is wonderful to see the way in which eacb and everyone is adjustinJl; herself to the various demands upon her time and coerln'.

Tof their officers, so the officers the support and from the members. Let it always be said that Pi Phis nev er failed.

For this officer, the past year has meant again many, many happy associations. Once more she cannot speak too warmly nor be too gratefu l for the friendship and h e lp which has a lw ays been extended to her by the Grand President to whom she greatly appr«iates and enjoys being Assistant. She wishes also to thank the other members of Grand Council and the Director of Office for their ever ready assistance, and many nati o n al and chapter officers for their fine cooperation.

ISABEL A. CuRK

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

H E poet Mason once said "Time's gradual touch has mo ldered into beauty mwy a tower."

The seventy·five years of Time which belonA to IT B 4J make w reali te that this is indeed t rue. We rtalize, as we hne the privilege of meeting Pi Phis over the country, that the Fraternity is not on l y a thing of beauty, but a strong inBuence fo r good.

The unusual experience of workin.a; with the petitioning group at DePauw University-soon to be in sta lled as Indiana E of " B +-has shown us the real strength of the Fraternity; th at the group cOuld rush so successfully against such old and well established N.P .C. groups proves that dubs and have made membership in n B 4t .s«m worthwhile and desirable.

This officer had the pleasure of representing the Fraternity at a special Guest Day during the Housemothers' TraininA Course sponsored by Purdue University at Wayette, Ind ia na .

In the fall we again had the pleasure of being on the Purdue campus when we spoke at the Achieveme nt Dinner, an event sponsored by the City Panhellenic and attended by actives and alumnr for the presentation of individual and group scholarship awards. It was especially nice to End that the president of the City Panhellenic and the presiding officer for the evening was the incoming president of our Alumnr Club.

The Manu al o n Rushin.(t Recommendati ons for Clubs a nd Chapters was completed and distributed . This fun ction of the Fraternity- rushing- is important to both groups and it is hoped that each year will see increased mutual understanding. It is intemting to note that in reports submitted this year by dub presidents only f our felt that their rushing recommendations committees had nOt functioned satisfactorily . These dissatisfactions are brought about either by the fact that chapters in so li citi ng recommendations do not allow enollJth time to gather the required information or do not give enough information about the girl such a.s the school from which she graduated or her father 's nam e to make it possible to ,.Rive or refU5e consent to pledge, o r dubs do not Aive as deta.iled information to the chapters. This is especially true concerning Arades. In some cases recommendations have over-rated the girl or have not made clear to the chapter concerned just how interested they are in a particuJar girl.

The usual contacts with the mothers' dubs

have been maintained. Our letter has been an· swered by a great many of these clubs . and much interesting news of what they are doing has come to Our attention . If the clubs which we h ave had the pleasure of knowing personally-Kansas B, Indiana r , wd Tennessee B, are any cr iterion each o ne is meaning to the chapter it sponsors assistance which cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Tennessee A's deserves special me nti o n because for some years it has made an annual contribution t o Our Settlement School. Indi vidual letters ha ve beoen written about new dubs to Tens B. and Ohio d. Clubs have also been organized i n Wichita, Kansas, and Kansas Gty (Missouri and Kansas) to sponSOr the Kansas A chapt e r. Mani. toba A asked for program suggestions. The mothers of the r«enlly chartered chapter, Indiana E, have already met and effected an organization. Five new alumnr clubs have been char tered this year, and have aJready rpade a valuable contribu· iton to the work of the na tional Alumnz Ikpart· ment. If Pi Phis located in areas where there are enough members for a club will read the exciting story of how the new Jackson, Mississippi, Club came into being, they too will follow su it. The new clubs in addition to Jackson are: Schenectady, New York , Bloomington.Normal, Illino is. POnca City. Oklahoma ,lnd the Minneapolis EveninA Club There are .several localities where there are sufficien t numbers for an organized club, namely : Montgomery, Alabama; EI Dorado, H o t Springs, and Pine Bluff. Arkansas ; Bakersfield, Burlingame, San Bernadino. and Whittier. California ; Greeley. Colorado; Wilm ington , Delaware; Gainesville, Florida ; Aurora, Moline and Rock Island, and Quincy, Illinois; Anderson , Columbus a nd Edin· bug. FranHurt. and South Bend, Indiana; Davm· port, Dubuque. Maso n City, Ottumwa, and Water· 100, Iowa ; Springfield . and Worcester, Massachu · setts; Jackson , and Lansing. Michigan; Rochester.

SouTh Dakota; Galveston, San Ang elo, a nd Wichita FaJls Texas; Salina. Kan sas; and Norfolk and Willianuburg. Virginia. Anyone wishing to assist in the organization of a club in any of these a.reas

shouJd in touch with the Grand Vice-President, the Province of the province concerned, Or this officu.

With the numbe-r of Pi Phis who are able to accompany their husbancb or to their assiAned stations of Krvice-. the Pi Beta Phi Army and Navy Auxiliary sho uld be a welcome means of find· iOR new f riends in strange places The Army Divi sion is ably headed by Phyllis 0 ' 031. Washington B. and the Navy by Elizabeth Hawkins Custer (Mr>. Ben Scott), California A.

It was the pleas ure of this officer to visit for Grand Council South Dakota A, Nebraska B, Kan· :las A, and D, Kentuclcy A, Tennessee A and B. During the course of these visits she also had the pleasure of meeti.ng aJumne in Vermillion, Man· hattan, and Lawrence. and with them a group from Kansas City, Missouri, and finally the Louisville Gub. We reged that confusion in made it impossible to make the planned visits to Missouri A and B We are looking forward to

these in the fall. To aU our grateful appreciation for the cordial welcome received.

It continues to be a privilege to work with the Gnnd Vice·President. We bope that in some meu· un that we have been of ass istaru::e to Mrs Smith We enjoyed the opportun ity of writing one of her monthly letters to the Provin ce Vice·Prcsidents and only wish that there were more opportunities to be of service to her. To Miss Onken and the other members of Grand Council, the PrOvince Officers, and MlS Purdunn of the Central Office we express appreciation (or assistance and advice at a1l times.

In Ihis lime of strife in our nation and Canada we realize that U B can be a vital force in the preservation of morale. We, therefore, pledAe, that we as an officer of the Fraternity will Aive just a little more in devotion and service to the Fra· ternity that this may be so Respcctfu1ly submitted,

NATIONAL HISTORIAN

I T IS with pleasure that the National Historian ann ounces that Pennsylvania B and Michigan A share the honor of the award of the Nita Hill Stark Vase for the best history covering the two schools years 194041 and 1941.42. It is an added pleasure to be able to say that the decision u to the winner was hard to make as the average quality of the chapter histories was high and the differences between the best 6ftcen histories were minor Honorable mention is to the follow. ing. not in order of merit, but alphabeticallyArizona A, Colorado B, Illinois Z, Indiana A, lowa r, Kentucky A, Massachusetts A, B, B, West Virginia A, and Wisconsin r.

Some histories were outstanding in particular features, but not in others. The National Historian's dream history is made up of the ability of MichiAan A, Tennessee A, and Massa. chusetts A; the informal pictures of Ontario B; the personal descriptions of Kentucky A; the individ. ual pictures with honors listed of Iowa r; the honor chart of Arizona A; identification of clippings of Arkansas A and Oklahoma A; assortment of clippings of Wisconsin A; and the clever group pictures paying to background, arrange· ment, and drtss of Pennsylvania B, Wisconsin B, Arizona A, and others.

The National Historian is still most anxious to add more historical material to the national archives. The accessions received during 1941.42 are listed 50 that ,II Pi Phis may know what haJ been re<eived since the report of September 1941, and they arc also listed so that Pi Phis may Aet a idea of what is wanted [or the archives. If you have duplicates of any of the following, or similar articles. which you should like to give to the fraternity. the Fraternity will be grateful (or them.

Other mimeographing completed and distributed by the Central Office was: Social Exchange Bulletins; Manual for Committees on Rushing Recommendations and Their Relation with Active Chapters; Leadef's Dige.rts ; Rush Captain's Manual; fall, winter, and spring supplies.

SINCE

Two satin robes and thirty-one sateen robes were ordered and delivered through the Central Office this year.

The future work of the Central Office will consist in issuing new supplies, mimeographing of new material and manuals, issuing stationery and re-arranging the files so new cards may be inserted.

The problem of the Central Office this year was to keep its files up-to-date With so many in addresses due to the war, it has been difficult and to keep up with the ARRow subscribers. It will be appreciated if new addresses are sent promptly to the Central Office

The Director of the Central Office is very grateful and appreciative of the way that the alumnz clubs and active chapters have cooperated with her this year. She is grateful to all the national officers and members of Grand Council for the privilege of working with them.

Respectfully submitted,

BEATRlCE S. PURDUNN

REPORT ON JEWELRY SALES

Augu st 1940 fraternity jewelry has been ordered through the Central Office. Chapter treasurers are requested to fill out official jewelry order blanks and forward them to the Central Office with check for the amount of the jewelry. It is then okayed and forwarded to L. G. Balfour Company for manufacture and delivery.

The following items of jewelry have been sold to members this year: I

formation pages were also sent giving instructions on figuring federal and USE taxes

Recognition pins may now be ordered through any Balfour representative. The invoices for these pins giving the name of the member purchasing, are sent to the Central Office foe approval. Four hundred twenty.6ve recognition pins have been ordered in this manner in 1941-42

A Manual, "How To Order Jewelry" was distributed to all chapter treasurers, and tax in-

Again this year the Fraternity gave scholarship rings to the girl in each chapter who had the highest scholarship rating. Seventy-five chapters ordered rings and in one of these chapters there was a three way tie, so three rings were awarded to the girls in that chapter. Fifty- three rings were ordered set witQ rubies indicating that the girl had won the ring for the first time; eighteen rings were ordered set with sapphires indicating that the gi rl had wo n the ring the second time; six rings were ordered set with diamonds indicating that the girl had won the scholarship ring the third time. Letters of congratulation were sent to the winners of the awards by the Chairman of the Scholarship Committee.

The Director of the Central Office is grateful for the fine cooperation she has received from chapter treasurers and individuals who have sent in orders for jewelry this year.

Respectfully su bmitted, BEATRICE S. PURDUNN

Bak er Ber· nard R Kennedy, William 1. Phillips. Hubert M Pottat. DtI Oi Smith, and C. P. Williams The Comm ittee baTe just published the i r report, a pcnetntinl study, with practical recommenda t ion. for merting the difficul ties that lie ahead. It is • pamphlet of sixtccn pages ; COpiH art obtain.ble (rom the Chairman of the Wu Committee, 1001 Fiftttnth St. N.W. Wub ington D C or from • 4 9 Hudquarkrs OXlord. Ohio. The fol(ow in« abstnet of the report has been prepared by Professo r George Stiff Lasher. editor of the R,of"l, oj Th,t" Chi we are grateful to him for thi s scrviu.-TH8 EOI1'OI.

THAT college fraternities throughout the Un ited States a nd Canada net'd to prepare definitel., to meet war conditions is clearly recognized by the National Interfraternity Conference. As a result its War Committee has just issued a report outlining clearly means for meeting the problems that most chapters will face and presenting a program that suggests methods through which a fraternity chapter may aid war efforts constructively.

10 urging students to remain in college until called i nto service, the War Committee quotes a statement to college students by BrigadierGeneral Lewis B . H ers hey, director of Selective Service, as follows: .

"It would appear pl a in enough that patriotism, real patriotism, sa ns maudlin sensationalism, de· mands that you stick with yow present job and stick with it hard and work with it hard and give it aU you have got, until such time as yOUI Selective Service Board decides that you can serve your country more effectively in some other pursuit."

The miling of fraternity l ife more purposeful and hence more attractive to prospective members is urged bv the Wat Committee in order to safeguard es tJhlished chapters. Means sugges ted for maintaining safe membership level s are: to make an all-year activity where accelerated programs are in operation; to revise regulations to meet the si tuat io ns; to shorten the long: periods of defe rred pledging; to initiate earlier, even modifying scholarship res trict io ns as a war measure; to survey, with the aid of deam, all un organized men in order to discover all who would be interested in joining fratemitit3; and to train th orough ly so that they ma y appreciate tM value of their frate.mity-to-be and to serve it as officers and leaders . that the Achilles heel of the fratemity in wartime is finances . the War com mittee recommends economies in chapter-house management and social programs as f ollows: careful purchasinA of supplies and invoia cheddng; a use of cooperative buying if practical; low-cost but appetizinR menus secured throu,gh cooperation with home economics departments; penalties fo r failure to tum out electric lighu upon leaving rooms; a

monitor on the long-distanc e telephone; dances without "party frill s" such as name bands, expensive programs, decorations, favors, and refreshments; reduct ion of rushin,q expenses to a min imum. elimination of unnecessary servants. with members and pledges taking over their work • . the abandoning of offering ··free rid es" as an indu cement for pledging ; redu ctio n of the size and expense of chapter publications, with elimination of gossip-column trivia about undergraduates.

EquaJly important. the War Committee states, is a business-like insistence upon a "pay-as-you-eatand -s leep " policy, with bills paid promptly and no accounts r eceivab l e. If such a policy is campus-wide, chapters will have an easie r problem of enforcement. Some chap ters sa feguard themselves effec. tively by following the us ual practice of coll eges, requiring payment o f bills in advance. This program also sUP.gests diligent so l ici tation of debts owed by alumni; letters to parents o f pledges making dear the fin a n cial obligations o f membership. the professional a uditing of accounts; th e training of two or more assistant treasur e rs; the suspension, if it can be arranged, of principal reductions on mortgages for the duration and. if possible. the modification of interest rates.

The War Committee urges that chapters which find the going hard should not let faJse pride keep them from entering into a rran.q eme nts with other chapters for combined eating or lodging facilities or fraternity residence in college dormitories or from offering acc o mmodations in fraternity houses to alumni. nonfraternity men, or recommended townsmen. subject of course, to codes agreed. upon in advance.

Because of the responsibil ity of the fraternity to assist in developing and maintaining civilian morale, the War Committee urges the conducting by chapters of " freedom's fo rums" to dis c uss various themes bearing on the war effort; to invite alumni to the houses to disow cwrent events; to Rnd a word occas ionally or regularly to members in uniform ; to make students conscious of their resporuib ility in preparing for the war effort. by thorou ghgo ing academic achievement as long as they are o n the campus; to abandon a ll forms of Hell Week activities, as the public will not gaze indulgentlv on silly pranks when other men are dying o n land and sea for their country ; to keep inuamuraJ. activities within 501sihie bounds; to di sp l ay 1M n ational flag daily; to take an active part in community war servia projects; to make chapter bouse fa cilities avai lable to service men on leave; and to purchase Defense Bonds and stamps with surp luses in estab li shed funds and as an investment for the chapter.

The Wa.r Committee calls upon .11 chapters that have not done so to o rgani ze a war-time alumni council, with members assigned to such specific: fields o f supervision as house and grounds. debt collections. bouse corporation, rushing , scho la.rship, chapter publication, alumni relationships, including compilation of records in service, cooperation with college or university, intenratunity tela.

tionships, pledge tramlD& archives, traditions, discipline, and morale.

In addition. the insists that each col· lege campus should have an interfraternity alumni council to meet frequently for the dUcussion of matters in which all groups have a common interest. Regional and city interfraternity organizations also might easily be of value in solving fraternity problems.

National offices of fraternities, the Wac Committee predicts, will keep constantly in touch witb undergraduate chapters, inspiring them to worthy performances and at the same time mcoura,ging alumni to organize campaigns to help the chapters

The committee points out that adequate manuals for chapter officers shou ld be published to meet the r:apidly increasing tum-over in chapter offices The desirability of more frequent visits by traveling s«rrtarics is u.rgo1 by of men, but some fraternities arr finding difficulty to 5«Urr sujtablr visiting officrrs.

In co ncludi n g its report, the War Committre statts, 'The boue has DOW comr to put the rm· phasis whrre the emphasis belongs--on our mtangiblts. our immeasunbles, oue impooduables, on thosr spiritual values without which fcatemities can today present to a tortucrd world DO or:cuse whatevrr for their continued existence "

Settlement School Reports

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

0/ Gran4 CotultiJ and 0/ Ih.

Srhool Comminu:

IT 15 a very real privilege to report to you the current status of Settlement School affairs and to discuss with you our plans, hopes and dreams, fore -run ners of future achievement.

A survey of the past year's accomplishments brings to your Settlement Sdtool Olairman a reali· zation of how dependent we are upon cooperation, faith, unity of purpose, and genuine sincerity. With this the hardest tasks ace made easy, great problems solve themselves, and the "can ' t be done" is accomplished. I wish to acknowledge with grate· ful appreciation the generous spirit and unreserved SUppolt which has made my first year as Chairman an experience so lovely that I s haH be indebted forever to n B ct. Because your fine spirit of generosity has added another year of constructive development in the lives and homes of many fine mountain people, it is a happy experience to review the results of the Pi Phis ' united effort.

As a prelude to these un ce rtain times, the joint meeting of Grand Council and Settlement School Committee at the School June 20-23, 1941 , served to establish a fine understanding between these ten representatives of OUI national opinion To talk freely. to vote frankJy and honestly. to enjoy personal relationsbip, to exchange differences of opinion and procetd t oward constructive agreement was a perfect foundation for real progress at a time when changes are obligatory.

We of Committee wish to express to Grand Council oue appr«iation for their trust and confidence and belief in our since rity which has been expressed continuously by their generous approval and constructive support throu,ghout the past year. At the invitation of Committec-, Miss Onken served as Grand Council contact member. Through her, the committee has maintained constant and close tou ch with our National Officers in the belief that only by complete understanding of co nditi ons, of Committee d«isions and policies can be served well the best interests of our vital project. Miss Onken's prompt attention to detaiJs, her corucien· tious cooperation, ber wise counsel, based upon years of intimate experience in School and Fraternity affairs, her open-minded and generow spirit has contributed at a.l1 times immeasurably to the advancement or our program and been an inspiration to those who work with her. To each member of Grand Council we are greatly in· debted for ever willing assistance and immediate personal response to oue frequent requests for help

This report wiIJ summarize events and condi· tions from July, 1941 to July, 1942. At the con· dusion of A.farie Hagcc's term of service .woe, 1941, I was appointed to serve as Chairman From LilUan Holton and Marie Hagee, the previow chairmen under whom it was my pleasure to serve, came an eumple of wise administration and un· selfish devotion to the service which they had pledged their best cfi'ort. The advantages of intel.

ljgeot planning and wise decisions brought to new leadership a sound business structure and forward looking policies. To kerp the right direction to hold fast to the ground gained, to advance towud acc?mpJishmmt. to be worthy of PI Ph, trust, to clanfy new goals b all these desires have been shared by five very hum Ie and privileged Pi Phis, your School Committee.

Committee members present at the June, 1941 were Irene Eldridge. Beth Brainard LeRoy. Lolita Snell Prouty, Agnes Wright Spring and Ethel Hogan Copp. The retiring chairman, Marie Bacon Hag ee, was invited to be present at this meeting with Grand Council. She gave valued assistance in clarifying plans and outlining policies We thank hee again f or this additional Iren e Eldridge continued as the efficient t.reasurer to complete four yeats of faithful service July I, 1942, with a balancM budget to prove her watchfulness Professional duties forced her to before completing her five year term. Lahta Prouty has accepted the appointment to the position, having served as secretary dur 109 her first year on the committee Indkative o f her sincerity and serious sense of obligation to this Fraternity responsibility, Mrs. Prouty took a course in book1ceeping and typing in order to better execute her duties. With the background of a mathematics major in co llege and a fine record of achievement in Club, Civic and CoIJeAe circles, you can understand Committee's confidence in our new financial advisor.

Beth LeRoy completes her third year on the Com mittee by ca.ming honorable mention in the field of public relations. She di stributes the films and sends out informa tion upon request. We wish that every Club and 018pter could be inspired by Mrs leRoy's sincere enthusiasm. With deep human sympathy and inspired vision , she faithfully unfolds her three fold plan fo r Pi Phi's service to humanity through Settlement School channels. Proud we are that Mrs. LeRoy hu been invited to tell the story of Settlement School not only to Pi Phis but to various church groups-Baptist, Pres byteClan, Methodist, and Catholic-to Woman's Clubs and over the radio! It would delight any Pi Phi to know the enthusiasm of "outside" admirers. Mrs. LeRoy's inspir:a.tion and devotion to further· inR: Pi Phi interests was largely responsible for the outstanding success of the sale of ArrowcraIt prod· ucts at the New England f lower Show l ast October.

To seU over $2,000.00 worth of Arrowcraft is in itseU noteworthy. But the Fraternity and the Settlement School Committee is indebted for all time to the large group of Boston Irea Pi Phis whose spontaneous response to a suddm all to hard labor deserves honorable mention along with our ,gratitude.

To the satisfaction which all Pi Phis wiU fecJ because of this national of the quality and hW1 standards of our Settlement School service, will be added the even greater joy occasioned by the complete unsel6sh cooperation of Boston Pi

Phis in their enthusiastic effort to do justice to a worKkrf uJ opportunity.

In January because of itl health it became necessary for Wright Spring, Wyoming A, to res ign from the committee, having only from summer 1941. Mildred Odell Sale accepted the appointment to take Mrs . Spring's place. assuming the duties of Editor of News from Little Pigeon In addition she will coordinate the effort to devel op our Jjbury and its services Mes. Spring's artide in the December ARROW proved so delightful a story of Settlement School that Grand Council has arranged to have it printed in booklet form to di stribute to pledges. We aJ?preciale Mrs. Spring's fine abilities and unselfish effort. We that restored good health soon will permit ber again to share her talents with the Fraternity. It is good fortune indeed that brings us Mildred Sale's editocial experience, creative writing ability, and executive talents, combined with a. delightful personality and alert sound judgment. -

The appointment of Ann Leichliter Munn, Iowa 1', to fill the vacancy created by Irene Eldridge's resignation completes the fortunate group of Dve who will serve together for the coming year. Ann Munn·s radiant charm won for her an instant place in the hearts of Committee, Staff and community. With her specia l training in A.rts and Crafts, she brings understanding assistance to the current emphasis toward growth and expa nsion in this field.

I have appreciated the perfect cooperation from Committee and the Director in the matter of communications, a most important part of our duties. By use of carbon copies, a duplicate of each letter is sent to each member of Committee, to the cootact member from Grand Council and to the Grand Vice-President. This enables us to execute promptly the administration of School affairs. Always there are monthlv reports, weekly letters, aod frequently daily contact by letter or telegraph. In addition to normal committee correspo nden ce, I have sent carbon copies of all important outside correspondence to each member in order that each have the advantage of first impressions.

Following the 1941 summ er decision of Committee to take advantage of the best professional opinions to clarify our plans and guide our course, a survey was made by Dr William S. Taylor, Dean of Education of the University of Kentucky, and his associate, Professor Seay. Th eir evaluation of our project was given to you in the December ARROW. Subsequent detailed helpful sUgAestions and working plans have been submitted by Dr. Taylor, as we move toward a wider field of service. In addition to his own offer of continued Dr. Taylor is alert and generous in bring:ing to us national recognition and help in many fields of specialized service.

As an examp le we feel now that our long needed advancement in library service is assured. May K. Duncan, Librarian at Uoiversity of Kentucky, has already comp leted book lists for our Elementary and High Schools. Soon we hope to report the reality of an extended package library service. Several Clubs and individuals have shown enthus iastic approval of our effort to improve our library bv sendinlt se l ected books or money. Chicago Alumnz Club South·s recent gift of fifty new books from Miss Duncan's list was substantial proof to Committee that generous Pi Phis are eager to cooperate when we make the needs known.

To get a clear vision of Settlement Schoo l, we think of our one bundred acres and our thirteen buildings in the beautiful valley, so deep in the heart of the Smokies. We think of our service in education through our High Sc:bool and our Elementary School. Through the conscientious effort of eight teachers in each school, half Pi Phis, half County, our program has been most satisfactory this year Ben Fleming has completed his second ),ear as Superintendent, having advanced from Drst grade through our to college-and back to teach. His sincerity, loyalty, and hIgh ideals have combined to bring about the finest spirit of teaching cooperation that has ever been enjoyed at the School. Much appreciation is due his wife, Josephine Fleming, who unselfishly and generously gives of her time and varied abilities whenever a need presents itself. Mr. Fleming's program is made doubly full by his teaching of mathematics.

Mr. Pern Price as Principal has continued to develop the Elementary School, insure its grade A rating: and increase our field of Mr. Price is energetic, a fine and progressive teacher, and alert to community need Participation in the an· nuaJ National School Week Program in the Fall brought convincing evidence of the advanced and broad trends of our educational program. Great enthusiasm and interest was shown by both parents and pupils alike, as huge crowds gathered on "Open H ouse Night" to inspect the School and view the results of the year's activities.

Mention of the teaching staff cannot be made without bringing to mind a picture of happy group living which impressed your Chairman during her first winter visit to the School. In conformance with Fraternity requirement, I went to the School for a two weeks' visit in late October. This visit gives opportunity to observe and study the project in its season of full activity. At this time the Chairman assists the Direct or and Staff in r:very possible way to carry out the plans of the administration and the wishes of the Fraternity. It is her privilege, as well, to further community understanding of the policies and plans and assist in maintaining a balanced and happy relationship of responsibility.

An after dinner gUmpse into Teacher's Cottage living room brought su rprised delight on an October eveninllt. It might have been any Pi Phi chapter house. Girls everywhere, music, sparkling animation, much laughter and chatter, a confusion of yarn, knitting needles, books. patterns , assorted articles for Britain's bundles or Xmas giving in every stage of incompletion, no room to step , nobody to listen.

Pi Phis, province presidents, and parents should consider more seriously the very special advantage that is in store for any Pi Phi who is fortunate enough to teach for a few years in our School. It is more than a teacher's job. It is an opportunity. Sharing in a joyous group living which offers rare opportunity for experiencing soul satisfying .service develops womanly qualities which are highly desirable.

This is just another yardstick by which to measure the dividends which return to Pi Phis because o f service rendered. We are not enjoying full benefits if we fail to acquaint young Pi Phi teachers with the enriching experience that may be theirs.

The curriculum is being strengthened constantly and changed to meet community need and progres-

sive educational demands. Several years in advance of the State decision to make Physical Education and a Health Education course compulsory in Ten· nessee Schools after 1942. Pi Phi School has offered this training. Our satisfaction this year in st'Curing a Plict time music teacher through W.P.A. funds was short lived. However, we will strive to make music possible in some other way since a sou l satisfying educational program is incomplete without music. We will never be satisfied until we are able to 611 this great lack. However, it is nice to be able to tell you that Community Sings will be held in our Auditorium or on our grounds during the coming year. Most noteworthy this year is the development of and interest in the Craft courses under John Moore. If you will read back through the reports of several Chairmen you will be reminded that the need for and education in the field of Crafts was lon,q ago considered of real importance.

The progress this year has been very satisfying. Committee is delighted to report to the Fraternity at that a qualified group has accepted the re· sponsibility of ,advising and directin,q the Craft program. You will remember Miss Jessie Harris, co nventio n initiate at Ashville in 19 38. Miss Harris was chosen for this Pi Phi distinction because, as Director of Home Economics at the U niv ersity of Tennessee. she had won national in her field and because she had rendered invaluable serv· ice to our Settlement School project over a period of years. It is now your good fortune to have advice of Miss Harris. as well as that of her PI Phi friend and associate, Miss Ida Anders, Iowa r. and Miss Hurd, University of Tennessee's Craft Director.

These three constitute our new Craft Advisory Committee. Not only in the field o f Craft. but in every field of advancemen t will the continuity of their vision and direction be felt. They have pro· fessiona! experience, national viewpoint, broad understanding of our mountain people to combine with loyalty and belief in our project.

Long felt has been the need for a connectin,q link fo prevent delay. to keep visions clear, to keep the path toward a greater service. With chan,qwA committee members, staff and directors, much inspirational leadership has been lost. We do welcome sincerely their generous response to our invitation to serve officially and anticipate con· structive progress.

Arrowcraft brings us great distinction and clears a net profit of over $11,000 00. The amazing nat io nal merchandising achievement of Pi Phi Alumnae Oubs in disposing of Arrowcraft prOd· udS is primarily responsible for Arrowcraft be.. coming a pro6table business Not to be overlooked, however. is the sound bwiness ability of our Arrowcraft Director, Ethel Snow, Iowa r. Her strict attention to the safeguarding of Pi Phi in· terests, her excellent judgment in the merchandis· ing, hee untiring patience and promptness in dealing with our willing, but ofttimes inexperienced AJumnJll! Chairmen, have combined fortunately to increase our Arrowcraft business. Only a smalJ bit of concentrated effort regularly on the part of each Pi Phi is all that it will take to keep Arrow. craft a paying department and give sole means of support to many mountain families This again reminds us of that vast untouched field for craft

endeavor which can result in a national center so worthy and so great as to be the source of untold pride and satisfaction to new generations of Pi Phis. But that is in itself a long and fascinating story-a dream that can come true if Pi Phis want it

Through the combined eiforts of Staff, profes· sional advisors, and Committee, the coming year should produce many new designs and new objects to augment our lovely Arrowcraft display. We are mindful of the new and greater opportunities which curtailment of trade has created We are alert to every possibility of strengthening the economic stability of oue areas. We approach this through two mediums. One is through art and craft courses in our Schools to prepare our future workers in basic appreciation of color, form, and design. The other means is through our adult (ducation classes and direction of hand work among mountain people which is necessary to maintain themselves . • Winogene Redding continues her fine work as supervisor of our adult weaving pro,qram. Two out· community achievements are the results of her vision and enthusiastic effort. The Gatlin· burg Garden Club has made noteworthy improvements in the community with the plantin,q of Dog. wood trees along the highway and two parked areas near the center of business. There has been general impetus given to home and civic beautifica· tion. Under her direction our Weaver's Guild has taken its place among America's Summer Plavers. Their original play "Store Britches" continues this summer as a success ful contribution to the enjoy· ment of visitors.

Next to education, we think of Pi Phi's Health Service. Continuin,q under the sincere direction of Mrs. Marjorie Chalmers, R .N., certai n needed re· or,2anization of this imporunt fie ld of community service has pro,2ressed successfully. To withdraw certai n services, long accepted by community, even to devote more time and energy to the field of preventive and health education, is a delicate transi· tion. Obviously the steady ,qrowth of our com· munity with a resident physician now available has chan,qed the aspect of our health service. By limiting our service to needly first aid and erner$cocy. more time can be given to health education IDstruction. In addition, the war emer,qeocy need for Red Cross trainin,q courses has been met ade· quately and with distinction by our Health Service. Difficult as it is to believe, the past year's experience shows again that the service of a reAulu County nurse is not available regularly in this extended area.

Elizabeth C omstock Peck, California B, is be· ginning her second vear as Director with the warm regard of Staff Community, and Committee to prove how genuine and kindly is her consideration for others and how quklcly she has caught the spirit of Pi Phi service to a great cause . She has been tireless in hee efforts to produce coDAenial efficiency.

The only general StaH chan,qe was made when Annette Morse, Illinois d, resigned after four years' faithful service as house manager because of her own family need . Miss Lena Hodgins of Champaign, Illinois. is deserving of the compliments that ncr delicious food and smooth ru.ooin,q household bring to hee.

BeQursts made possible two very fine accomplish· ments durin,ll the past year. A new- Stuart dormi· tory for boys was built with the net sum of which was left for th i s purpOSe by Anne Elizabeth Stuart. Nebraska B With colonia.l influence, e%pressed in simple lines. and permanency assured by use of native stone. heavy hand split shio$l;les, and slate, at ready there is evidenced a fulfillment of her dream. The boys a..re proving their pride in an adequate home by assumin,lt alJ resporuibiJity for its perfect upkeep Proud the donor would be if she could Alimpse the satisfaction and inspiIatioo that her generous gift has pvcn to those nne young whom she so Joyousl, served.

AJthou,(h there is no concrete evidence IS yet in stone or wood. the sum of $1 ,000 .00 was .RiVal to 5<ttlemen' School by O "ict of Columbia A to start. fund for Health Center improvement To the memory of this generous unknown Pi Phi donor who chose to share her joy in giving with her chapter, we r,ledge ourselves to co ntinued effort to justify her aith We believe that soon this sum will attract enough to it to make her and ours come true. With so many, many Pi Phis de· sirous of replacing the obsolete little old building which for so long has been inadequate to our Health Service demands, we are confidently mak· ing plans and studyinR the advice and sUAAestions of experts, that we may be ready when Pi Phi generosity makes suitable housinR and equipment possible.

Have you ever thought how satisfactory a choice our leaders made when they Rave us a philanthroPf with such varied channels? Almost any individual personal prrference may be satisfied. With Quite natural differences of opinions as to the most worth, field, Pi Phi Fraternity has proven that unified effort can coordinate a variety of needed 5C'cvices into one tremendous influence for gOOd.

We shall continue our effort to acquaint our members with each step as we unfold an ex· panded program of usefulness. It has been a pleas· ure to answer the man)' questions asked by devoted Pi Phis. We shall continue to welcome construc· tive suggestions.

Our is trying hard to pace with national trends. community changes and worthy 6elds for the Renerous expression of Pi Phi's philanthropy. We believe that no school and no welfare orAaniution could be in a mOre fortunate situation to begin this uncertain period of national emergency. We are proud to report that we have no Settlement School debts and there are no in. volvements. Our determination is to keep our af· fair'S in Aood order, do our best to maintain the standards which we have pridefully built up, fuJ· fiU the obliAations to which we are pledged and upon whjch is dependent the greater proportion of all n«e5sacy income and to continuance of the present prORram rommittments. This we believe we can do provided the normal contributions from eacned money :lnd .ifts continue.

To n:plain this I will quote a frequently asked question-

"To what extent does the Settlement Schol de· pend upon Pi Phi conIIibutions?"

The answer is:

To exist, Settlement School is absolutely depend. ent upon the continuance and the receipt of the

present a.o.d recent past, average of acti ve and alumnr contributions

Reason : The approx.imate running and mainte · nance bud'let in round numbers is $30 .000 , ex· c1usive of Arrowccaft. OrigiDaJly there was ooe gen· eral source for Settlement School support, namely gifts and contributions earned by Pi Phjs Gradu · ally by development of wise business procedure two other sources were added, namely-income from sources within the Fraternity, for example, the in· terest on the endowment and the commis sions from the agency, and income from practiaJ appliation of business principles to the school administration as our progtam became more and more involved, such as sale of farm products, staff living, small fees for cert2in health service, and agriculture and cralt courses

The third source came from the gradually shift· ing to St2te County, and Community of such financial responsibility a5 their growinR ability could assume, for the educational system particu· laely. H e re I will mention an interesting fact tha.t few Pi Phis understand. The larger proportion of increase in eJ:penditure, as we have increased the facilities and service of our School, has come from this Rradual increase in governmental appropria· tion So carefully and fairly hu this baJIlOCC' of re· sponsibility been worked out that there has never been a question of the inteRrity of local in assuming its rightful share. Nor has the State or County ever questioned Pi Phi·s integrity as the growin. demands forced us to request increased appropriation for teachen.

With these sources in mind. it is simple to understand that the basic income from actives and a!umnlt, although approximately only one·third of the total running budget, is the nucleus which at· tracts the other two·thirds. This is the foundation. If we remove or lessen our recent ave,raRe contri· butions, we jeopardile the receipt of the other two· thirds of necessary income By maintaining our normal average of the first third. it is: quite normal to anticipate increased income from these other sources.

My own personal btlief is that we can carry on for the ernerRency at this safe level for actual Pi Phi contributions, provided they an be upheld. t believe that future bequests and Pi Phi Rifts for sp«ial equipment will provide $tenerously for new buildin,ltS as the need is evidenced through our wise determination of actual justified need.

As you know the budget for the yeu is deter· mined at the summer Committee meetinR. Since the first third is not fixed, it becomes necessary for the Committee to take the sum of the average n· pectancy from study of the past several years con· tributions from actives and aJumnr. You can welt imagine our worry if alumnI! dubs' contributions drop below the normal expectancy.

Another frequent question is-

"AIe Pi Phi contributions used solely for the Acrowcraft Shop?"

The answer is, No! Arrowcraft at present is self supporting and pays it share of Jiteneral running ex· penses of the School. (School in this sense means proiect, not educational department.)

While we cannot safely predict anything in these uncertain times it is to sUPPOse that Arrowaaft can be counted upon to maintain itself if-

1. Pi· Phi a lumn a: continue their effort to sell Arrowcraft products.

2. If the traveling public still buy in ou r two local shops. (This we know will suffer because of curtailment of tires.)

3. If Wag e and Hour regulations upon hand in the home do not create a cost increase impossible to accommodate.

Arrowcraft was "in the red" for many years as Pi Phi strove to rehabilitate the mountain people-and this was considered a profitable procedwe our worthy contribution to human betterment.

A third question often asked is-

"What he lp do we receive from Government agencies?"

The educational sys te m receives financial help as follows:

CONnly

1. Elementary Teachers' salaries are paid to them d irectly bv the County. This sum does not appear on our budget, either in income or disbursement.

2. Rent for E l ementary School building of $1,000.00 pe.r yea r. (Additional cost of mainte· nance and repairs is paid by Pi Phi )

3 Some Schoo l supplies a nd books

SlaU lind Smith-Hux.he.s Fund

1. Three-fourths of School Teachers ' sa laries.

Smith-Hughes provides part salary foe certain vocational courses such as agriculture and home economics. The State allows .,'00.00 annually for adult weaving instruction.

TIle Health Center receives from the State Health D epartment serums f or ce r tain required vaccinations and injections.

Re,ltarding other agencies:

1. We were ab le to get a part time music teacher this rurrent year through the Works Progress Administration. This was canceled in January when all such service was discontinued by government o.rder.

2. Several adult trade instruction classes were established under the Defense Training authority

No so called " W P.A." funds were or are rate<J by the community for services such as are offered at the Schoo l othe.r than the afo rementi o ned music assista nce (now non-existent).

Often the question i s asked-

"Why do we not rate finandal assistance from certain well known Foundations?"

The answer is-

"We are rated as a Foundation by other Foundations. As such, we do not quality for thei.r assistance. However the Committee is hopeful of getting certain ".Rift" assistance to fulfill specified netds such as a library of fioe records, scores. and machine for music appreciation community program."

We are making an exhaustive study to determine just what classification will attract other such sup.. plementary assistance. We have the attention and sinctrt interest of three officials of the CarneAie and Rockefeller Foundations We welcome fu.rther Pi Phi hel p to coordinate our requests.

Iu to fu.rther HeaJth Center assistana we are informed by two sources of factual information, State and County, and by • national expert in governmental budgeting, that is no possible fund to underwrite the educational health

service through which Pi Phi has raised the whole health statw of a large area. There is still only one Cou nty nurse in ou.r entire County and even this has been irregu la.r.

I invite your study and understanding of the following outline of Pi Phi SOurces of income which have gradually sugpested themselves as sound permanent methods to serve to stabilize our proiect. give security. and insure in a measure our ability to meet our assumed responsibility

1. Income from Pi Beta Phi.

General

Active Chapte rs

Alumn:r Clubs

Individu al gifts

Bequests

Commissions from Magazine Agency

Interest on Endowment Fund

Interest on Savings Account

Contributions specified for furnishings o r improvements

Miscellaneous (Principally in sura nce proceeds)

Staff living fees

As you study this brief analvsis there is one imJX)rta nt fact to talee into consideration , the running for maintenance and upkeep 15 comparable With that of any home for utilities service, repairs, repla ceme nts, etc., and is from the teachers' salaries and supplies of the edu. cational program. You will see that we are pro. viding the background-while State and County are supp l yi n.'!: the educational pro.'!:ram. It is an accepted fact that Schools, libraries and Services are never self.supporting. TheY are either endowed or supported by public or private funds Our project will always be to lar,qe extent a welfare project, in which we supp l ement the b3:'ic program, as offered by a willing community, With the advantages o f a sponsored program in health, education and vocational guidance This same need for public spirited service is evidenced in every large city as well as every small community-and it is expressed by privately or publicly endowed. hospitals, baby clinics, schools. libraries. bealth centers of every description.

Every public spirited Pi Phi could designate a definite need in her community, a vital one . But long afl.O Pi Phi became the self·elected sponsors of • definite community. From us these really worthy Anglo-Saxon people have received every inspiration for upbuilding of body and soul. To us this community will always look for guid:ance. inspiration and all cultural development. As they willingly and pridefully accept certain responsibilities. Vt-e are able in turn to expand oW" inBuence into an ever growing circle.

As fast as Pi Phi donors wish we will grow into a center of gJ"t"at national educational consequena. Our facilities , our background. our past integrity, makes possible our abi.lity to meet whatever Areat need the brings to our fumly established center in the Smokies

To speak of a possible present emergency oppor· tunity-we of committee are seriouslv mindful that added burdens may rightfully come to w Just what. how, or when, we cannot predict now. But from patriotic and loval Pi Phis everywhere we wei· come if you see a practical opportunity to increase OUf service. Several ideas have already been discussed whereby we might serve the cause of youth in war time

In anticipating some additional wac effort we have est.ablished contact with the several aKencies in WashinAton under whom we may bt called upon to serve. Thro ugh the War Production Board"s several textile departments and its Small Business Bureau we are endeavoring to find what nttded articles or fabrics can be made under our supervision. Through this means we hope to stabiJ· ize the economic status of our community and use to the fullest every bit of man and woman power have the Children's Bureau of the Department of Laboe

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE PI BETA PHI SETTLEMENT SCHOOL, 1941·42

T o Grand Council of Pi Bela Phi Fratern;t" Settlement Schoo l Comm;/lee, and the FraJnnh,:

FOR Pi Phi who holds a in her heart for the Settlement School, there is every reason to be proud of year iust past that stand out are establishing and development of the Arts and Crafts program in the schoo l; the reorganization of the Health Center to meet cha nging community needs; the faJl visit of Dean T av l or of the of Kentucky with his survey; the completio n of the new Stuart Dormitory for boys; and just this last May tM annual mttting of the Sdtlement School Com· mittee at the School, which is having five fine friend s and counseloes arrive at time to help solve problems and guide policies for the best intel'6ts of Pi Phi and ou r School.

There's a Rip Van Winkle quiet school grounds now that makes it hard to picture the tre· mendous activity of the School year. According to Mr. Fleming's report, we had the largest high school enrollment in the history of the school. Besides the classes in English, History, So· Vocational Agriculture and Voca· tional Home Economics, a new unit of World His tory was added for the tenth grade, and Spanish for the eleventh grade, Arts and Crafts for Junior and Senior students, as well as classes in first aid and home nursing. Everyone in High School has been active in the physical education program. The Bov's Basketbatl team wa, in the District Semifinals. This year the airls had an intramural ball program as well as a few inter-school pmes. Agriculture and Home Economics clubs , the Press Club, and the various other school organizations had a successful year. Press Oub sponsored the "Pi Phi which was a palte of school news incorporated in the local Gatlinburg paper. Several Community and schoo l socia ls have been held in gymnasium. and the Juniors and Seniors each fl,ave a School play. The Smiors rais.ed funds foe their trip just before Class They visited Lookout Mountain. Nuhville.

Mammoth and Lincoln University.

In the Economics department nutrition was stressed and low cost healthful meals were given special attention Weavin,2 w as especially popular with the giels this yt2r and each girl in the junior class wove a knitting bag with an all-over and several have woven dresser scarves with small figure inlays such as flowers or initials. Sophomore class was larger, Two girls at each loom, learning each step from the making of the warp, to the of the loom and finally the actual weaving. In the sewing project each girl made two garments of own choice. Two of the girls participated in the Show at the University o f Tennessee's Open Each year of Home Economic; is a combination course which includes food s. clothing, personal grooming, management. child care and other topics. The boys and girls in the third year classes met together for six weeks to study "Problems in Family Liv. ing and Home and round table discussions weee held.

A total of forty.eight boys were in Vocational Agriculture The course o f study for of these boys is based on farming on the Home Fa.rm, with emphasis being placed on food production for home first and for national National Defense classes were also held and conducted for out-of-school youth in the various rural communities. The boys learned blacksmithing and faem machinery repair, wood·working, simple electricity. and auto mechanics . Two classes of farmers met and studied pertaining to farming and food production, under our agricul. ture teacher.

The new courses now being taught in the Arts and Crafts include Jewelry, Metal Craft, Ceramics, Block and the Native crafts. courses are elective for Juniors and Seniors and have been popular. In the students studied the fundamental techniques of constructing and decorating rings set with semiprecious stones. sterlimz: silver Dins and cliDS. ,.

combination of copper and brass bracelets and other chains In Met'al work. they constructed plates, ash trays, bowls, lamps and candle-sticks. Laboratory problems in ceram ics include the techniques of hand building of animals and figures. wheel throw. ing, pressing from moulds, slip .casting, glazing and firing of the- kiln . The methods of textile decoration were also studied, inc1ud i n,g bloc k printing, stenciling and tic·dyeing Several very talented students were discovered in the classes There bo .dult classes in the evenings. For its 6rst yea.r, genuine progress and Areat enthusiasm were felt in thi! part of the school program.

The Elementary School completed an equally successful year under Peen Price, principal. One of the QutsWlding affairs of the ycar was the children's operetta." whi ch was the ¥try best the school has ever had . The children were beautifully trained, the costumes were clever, and the entire performance a credit to the teachers and Mr. Price who worked with th e children so patiently The story was "Peter Rabb it " so that it is no t hard to visualize the cunning songs and costumes.

The Movie Projector, purchased from gift funds, has been a most nluable addition to the entire school program. Educational, as well as films for entertainment have been shown I.ad tJ;1e coming year promises to see it used even more frequently as we work in conjunction with the government showing of films for defense.

The .report of the Health Center has special interest as it reSected the cbanging, yet continued very importtnt program Health study, Firs t Aid Classes, Nutrition, Home Nursing, all are stressed. Mrs Chalmers is combining a full teaching schedule with her nursing duties. In the High School all who could arrange their time to take the shortened Pirst Aid course, did so. Adult classes in Home Nursing at the Health Center completed their studies and qwliJied fo r their certificates.

With the emphasis on hnl th instru ctio n , preventive service in the community was not allowed to suffer, and the totals for the year were about the same as the preceding one. There was a considerable drop in the number of calls, and community service was confi ned to danonstrations of nursing procedures, pnctical iO.5truction and strictly emergency mtasures. Inspecti o ns and inoculati ons in the School, and corrective work was done as usual. The Health Center received lil;ifts fcom the local chapter of the Red Cross, and fcom many of th e alumnz dubs, all of which were very much needed and deeply appreciated. Many of these things are for the "Loan Closet" and are in use, being gratefuJlr borrowed and ca.refully returned. Being a year 0 " transition" the

HeaJth Center passed I.n eventful year in which those services which we have outgrow n have been eliminated, and through greater concentration o n health instruction the valuable service of the Health Center will continue to assist the community toward better and safer living.

From the Arrowcraft Shop comes the report that during the past year, one hundred and thirty-two lumnr clubs, ni.ne active chapters, twenty-three shops and individuals t oo Dumerous t o mention have sold Arrowcraft merchandise One of the most successful sales of the year was handled by the Boston Club at th e New England Plower Show which this year had as o ne of its themes '''Ibe Wildflowers of the Smokies." The sa les at the Arrowcraft Booth were over $2.000. One of the most important pieces of publi city o f the year, was the June number of House and Garden which featured the handicrafts of the whole Southern Appala chian regi o n. OUt own " Aunt Lizzie's" photograph, as well as many others were taken here in Gatlinburg under Mrs. Snow's guidance. Arcowcraft has received many, many inquiries as a result of this publ icity.

The Pall Gu ild meeting w as held in Berea, Kentucky, with five members of the school staff attending. The spring meeting was held in Knoxville, where the invitation was extended to the Guild to hold their 1942 meeting in Gatlinburg and we hope to make it outstanding. The meeting of the stockholders of Southern Highland ers, Jnc , of which Arrowcraft is a member, was held in Knoxville followinA the Guild meeting. It is interesting to note that Miss Jessie Harris, Director o f H o me Economics of the University of Tennesser, and our Asheville initiate, was elected a Director for the comi.ng year

The weavers for the Shop had more work than ever before last year. There was I to ta l of n inetyeight weavers on the boob and there were eightyseven workiDR at one time just before Christmas. The Weaving meetings have well attended. With the cost of living increasing for thml as well as everyone else, there are many families where the weaving is needed more than ever

The reports of Arrowcraft, Health Center, and School show I unity of effort in carrying out the ideals of the fratern ity in constructive aid and service in this community. If war emergency needs make demands upon u s, it will be the desire of the entire staff to meet these demands, and to continue to Jitive their very best efforts to the School , which is just as dear to everyone in Gatlinburg as it is to every Pi Phi!

PI B ETA PHI SETTLEMENT SCHOOL - REPORT ON AUDIT OF TREASURER'S ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1942

August 3, 1942

To the Selllemmt School Committe" Pi Bdtl. Phi Fralh1lil1, Olftu 0/ SmJeme"t School Treasll,er, Milwaukee, Wiuo"s;".

DUll MEsDAMES:

We have examined the records majntained by the Treasurer of your Committee for the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1942 With the data drawn from these records we have combined the report by Homer K . .Jones and Company. public accountants. from the subsidiary records kept for the School and the Arrowcraft Shop. at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and we submit herewith the resulting attached statements . In Our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and related statements of income and surplus present fairly the financial position of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School at 30, 1942, and income and expenses for the fiscal year then ended, subject to the extent of our own verification, which as indi ca ted above did not include the GatlinbUl'g records.

We examined and tested the income from Oub and Chapter contributions, which are shown in deta il in Schedule 3-a, and from maRazine agencies and we found support and authorization for the expenditures made directly by the Treasurer. The cash balance at was by us. endowment securities and cash, cash in transit, whi ch we verified, certified to by the Harris Trust and Savings Bank of ChicaRo, Trustees for the endowment funds, and this Trustee's report was accepted without fUl'ther verification except that we checked the accounting made of changes in investments and the i n come from securities and found in it good order.

CoMMENTS

The cash balan ces at 30, 1942, of cash with the endowment Trustees or in transit. consisted of the following:

Milwaukee Areollnl:

First Wisconsin National BankTreasurer's checking account $ 7.922.97

Gallinbllrg School Areollnll:

Sevier County Bank-School chedcing account

Gallinbllrg A,rowcraft Accollnll: Sevier County Bank--Ol«lcing account ..................•

As indicated above, we the balances in Milwaukee accounts at Sevierville or Knoxville were verified by Homer K. Jones and Company according to report abdve balances do not include magazine agency receipts in the custody of Mrs. C. M Purdunn who reported a balance due the Settlement School on May U, 1942 of $},216.27. ]n accordance with previous the magazine agency receipts taken into account by the Settlement School Treasurer for the fiscal year only of remittances from Afrs Purdunn which totaled '3,000 .00.

ArcollnlJ Rlceivable

The Arrowcraft accounts at June 30. 1942 amounted to $6,710.2' and were due prin. cipally from alumna! clubs accounts, which we did not verify, were listed in the report of Homer K Jones and Company and were $162 .02 greater than those at dose of the year. Fixed Auell

Expenditures for additions to buildings, equip· ment and landscaping amounted to $12,480 .37 for year lcview Included in this total is $9,122.94 for the new Stuart Dormitory and $1,703.12 for new equipment for this dormitory. a total of $10,826 .0 6. As indicated above, the expenditures for the new dormitory were not included in the Gatlinburg audit. All additions to the property accounts are shown in Schedule 2. It may be noted that the old Stuart Cottage which was razed was removed from the books and its estimated book of $4'0 .00 ($2,011.02 less depreciation of $1.'61.02) less salvage receipts of $2'.00, was charged off to Depreciation of the buildings and equipment, computed at rates used in the past, totaled $3,2'9.04 as shown in the

Lists sent to us indicated that most of the equipment at Gatlinburg had bern inventoried at June 30, 1942 and it seemed advisable to enter the inventory values on the records in lieu of depreciated book values. examination of these inventories revealed that at least the rna· chinery and equipment in the vocational school buildin,!it (industrial buildinR) had not been listed or valued so no change was made on records. In your particular we believe that it would be preferable to have the present inventory values of equipment on the books rather than those now shown, if the inventories can be completed.

Endowmertl

The only changes in the endowment principal (or the ytar under review coQsisted of the appropriation of three·fourths of the contribu· tions, or $I,307 n, offset to a slight extent by losses on s«urities of $62.03. the fund showing a net increase of $1.24' 72.

No amortization of bond premiums is charged against by the Trustee although the securities on hand cost $1.710.0' more than par value. However, the market value of the at June 30, 1942 was $132.n more than cost as shown in the list in Schedule 1 according to the Trustee's report.

Curr,nt and £XP'1I111

The expenses of the Settlement School exceeded operating income by $6,977 . )0 while the Arrow. craft oet profit totaled The Settle· ment School included depreciation o f $3.259.04, a large part of which is attributable to operation of the Arrowcraft shops and stores but which is not charged to this department.

The Arrowcraft net income was $l , S24.65 less than that of the previous year although the sales o f $54 ,651.28 were approximate ly the same as those for 1940 -1941. The saJes at the Mountain View Hotel which are ordinarily quite profitable fell off so mewhat with a decrease in gross profit of $656. 18. An accounting of the net income is prese nted as follows : $13.'94.27

Net income of Arrowcraft division .... $12,H8.43 Deficit in operation of Settlement School 6,977 '0 $

Accounted for as follows:

In crease in Arrowcraft inventori es . ... . ... . $ 4,004.41

In crease in Arrowcraft receivables... .... .. 162.02 $ 4,166.43

It may be observed that the Accowcraft inventories have been increasing each year and that a substantial portion of the net income i s invested in the finished goods and materials on hand. This is probably a normal situation but in any case the IOsurance coverage on these inventories should be cardully watched.

DEFENSE AT GATLINBURG

THIS is war! Every American is giving wholeheartedly of his or her time. money, and effort to promote worthwhile projects in vital war production , or in equally important measures to maintain and protect those vital "ddense projects" that aim to hold fast for the futme the fundamental ri g hts and privileges of American citizenship. Su ch a defense project is our n B • Settlement School at Gatlinburg _

If we are to hold the groUnd so painstakingly won by l oyal Pi Beta Phis in the past; if we are to protect our investment in the Smokies; if we are to preserve a source of revenue for reop'e who have no other means of l ivelihood; i we are to retain the faith and friendship of the mountain ptopJe who h.we come to respect and II B no t b«'ause they know our inner joy of membership but because they have seen the benefits of our altruism--we. of n B •• must make this coming year of 1942-194} as glorious a record in contributions to the SettJmlent School as any in our history.

To do this mar be hirder than in the past, but the satisfaction 0 our accomplishment will also be greater!

It is the first task of the SettJement School Com· mittee to p lan wisely $0 that eJCpeDRS may be held within the expected income; and our second task is to help you carry on your re}!:ular projects f or the of the Settlement School that this income may be great mough to cover the necessary expenses of such a D enterprise Settlement School income fr om Pi Beta Phis comes largely from sources : sale of Aerow

Tcraft. contributions from active chapters and alumnae dubs, and magazine commissions. You. in your individual dubs. can best decide what means to use for the raising of your customary contributions. I n this issue you will find suggestions for your magazine sales set-up from the dub which has ranked first for the past six successive years in amount of commissions earned. And the new articles added this year to our fine traditiona l Arrowcraft will insure your SettJement School sal e being a success once more.

Do you or you r friends have sweethearts or husbands in the Service? Of course, you do Then d i d you know you could s«ure black and o l ive drab neckties of Our lovely Arrowctllft quality to go with their regulation uniforms?

Or is He in the Ai r Corps? Then he will appre· ciate one of the wool scarfs for men, or perhaps the extra long "ski scarf" which is a yard and a third long and can be wrapped around several times to amply protect his throat and chest when he ffies in high altitudes.

The Royal Standard Cllapter. Oaughten of the British Empire ordered six dozen of our Frozen Mist scarfs for sale to departing aviators and aviation cadets. AU aviators wear some sort of scarfwhy not be sure that every " Pi Phi Aviator" has an An'OUK,4/1 scarf?

Those showers for n B • brides make a perfect occasion for Arrowcraft towels; and think of th e joy you would bring if each member of the chapter would give a place mat or napkin of Arrowcraft design to compJete a luncheon set.

ADDITIONS TO ARROWCRAFr

t..tE new items? H ere i.s the latest information from Ethel Snow. our capable Manager of Arrowcrnft.

First there will be thrtt new sc::ufs, sparkling in color and developing the theme of last year's favorite seart. The "Buckeye:' you remember, was that lovely brown, bride red and

white with just iii touch of green in a broken plaid, designed by Win0.IJene Redding, in charge of the weaving at our Settlement School, and named fo r its porttayal of the colors in the Tennesstt buckeyes. The new ones will be in different combinations: one a new soft blue and chocolate brown with white and a derper blue; another a bright

red, green, ycUow and black one; and the third one of lovely oriental colors.

For campus and sport wear the McArthur square shou ld prove popular, twenty·seven inches square of traditional green, black and yellow plaid of the McArthur clan U these should not suit your coloriog. there will be two other plaids to choose from, all grand for those sweatc.rs every coUege girl owns.

D id you .know strawberries were in season? They strayed to ladies' lingerie this year, but Arrowcraft has brought them back to the beeakfast table io a dead.white doilie displaying two l uscious strawberries woven in the cocnee. Very reasonable, these should prove welcome additions to the Arrow sets in natural lin en and white, and the "uti li ty" sets with bei ght borders or in conservative all white.

And you will n eed new knitting bags for war· time knitters! A Dew cylinder bag ({>Opulariy called the feed-bag) has proved a good seller at the Arrowcraft shop this summer They look ja un ty slung over the shoulder, and ca n be used as a carrya ll fo r First Aid n otebooks, as w el l.

A new (to me, at least) bedjacket was o n display at Arr owcra ft Shop Jast sum mer with a clever

Thigh nedelin e, and i n heavenly blue, pale pink or white. They can also be secured in orchid, yellow or $. rceo . Your convalescent friends would ap· preciate them!

Mrs Snow also tells us there will be at least six new neckties to provide Father, Son or Friend with a new o ne f or Ch.ristmas (although these will cost you • little more this year with wa.r prices on wool) and that there will still be quantities of shawls. all linen towels, and a limited supply of all wool yardage and walJ hangings.

Speaking of shawls, don't fail to ask for some of the lovely ones woven of rich deep red, blue, green and yellow, the sq ua.r es .so bl e nded and arranged that folding three entirely different co lor effects. Or you might l i ke the gossamer white, or a paste l, f or eveni ng wear--with it over your head and jwt a comer turned back, the fringe frames your face and neck to add allure to the simplest frock.

By the time your f3.11 order is placed, the newl y appointed Craft Advisory Committee, whom we sha ll introduce to yo u next issue, will have selected addit i o nal new items for production. Are n't you aDJcious to see th e m all a nd show them to your n B Settlement School friends?

HOW TO WIN FIRST PLACE IN MAGAZINE SALES COMMISSIONS!

HB Denver Alumnae Oub has consistently held first place for the largest amount of magazine commissions s ince 1937 This is a reco rd of which they may be justly proud, and the story of their methods should prove an inspiration to al1 other alumnz club magazine chairmen. Such a story is here presented by Dorothy Andrews Thebus, Colorado B , Den ver's magazine chairman from 1930 t o 1937.

"It was in 1930, I believe, that] was asked to be magazine chairman fo r the Denver Alumnz Club. ] had a small son, and since it was hard to l ea ve home very often for meetings, I was glad t o find I could help while remaining at home. It is a real pleasure to sell people something that they alre-.tdy know and like_ It 500n became apparent to me what wonderful opportunities for se rvice to ou r Settlement School lay in this field for every alumnz club. I observed with envy the clubs whose names appeared among th e 6rst eight listed in the annual reports and thcught how proud I should be if the Denver Mumme Club would be menti o ned . I was very happy when in 1932 we placed seventh and three years later were in sixth place In 1937 I had the pleasure of seeing Denver heading the list.

As much of the work of the magazine chair. man comes in November .tnd December which is also the time of preparing for Christmas I felt in fairness to my yOung son and daughter I must I!:ive up this work. It was with real regret that I as ked for someone to take my place in 1937. I had become acquainted by phone with so many of o ur alumnz and have missed my periodic chats with them

Mrs Kenneth Snodg.rass (with three: children) h e ld this position for th e next two years, keeping

Denver in first place M rs. Ral ph Johnson fo llowed (she also has sma ll childr e n) retaining 6rst pla ce and in 1940-41 r eached a hi gh for D en ve r of $228.00 in commissions and also second place in the per capita rating.

Mrs W. Turrell Barber, (Geor gia M a r rs, Colorado B '40) is cha irman this year and I t hi nk has reported a new high for D e n ver for 19 41-42.

Wh e n one observe5 the annual magazine reports and n otices that many of the smaller alumnz du bs are mentioned as highest in the ·'per capita " rating, it makes one reali z e how much the larger clubs can do with intensive work. T a ke, e.g., a city in which there are 300 alumnz, not necessarily active in the alumna: club. Nearly everyone spends at least $:5.00 per year on maJ;azines Many spe nd much more. If the club could average $:5.00 per member, thi s would be '1 ,'00.00 in sub sc ript io n s and approximately '''0 .00 in comm issio n s earned for the Settlement School. I bel ieve it helps to 6gure a g0:11 towa.rd whi ch to work.

Our chainnan ke e ps a card 6le of subscribers, also a 6l e by months o f subsc ripti o ns coming due, and systematically calls these subscribers, suggesting t o them oe\v magazines they would enj oy, special rates on magazines, etc Many excellent sug· gestions for selling are given each year in th e annual report in the September ARROW Magazines make exceJlent gifts which are en jo yed throughout the year. Surely every n ,z. has o n e non-n • friend who will gladly allow us to place his or her subscriptio ns. Why not ask? You are not aski ng for money which would not be spent anyway in just this mann e r

A friend of our family who used to give liquor at Christmas to his business and personal friends changed to magazin es and for seve ral years has placed the subscriptions th rou gh our club. Last

year he turned in 17 subscriptions to lif. and two to Forllln •.

Each yeolr our club holds a Settlmlmt ScJ100J tea at which aoods from the Arrowcraft Shop are displayed and sold. Th il is held early in November A table is dways devo ttd to magazine subscriptions . This both aJ a convenience and a reminder. BacbC'r' s husband made a beaut i ful poster f o r the tabl e last year, having ti tl es from many popular magazines pasted along one side as they would appear in a magazine rack.

(Don't you think all husbands of ma,'tazine chairmen deserve a vote of thanks for their patience and help-the many phone interruptions at meal time and their help in getting subscriptions in , etc.)

This is very sa tisfying work as we have such definite results to show for OUT efforts. The oppor. tunity is here for every alumnr club . Each n 4J must do • lilli , wock and every chairman a great deal."

KEEP THEM READING!

T AST FOUNDERS' DAY the Chicago South AlumnI! L Club decided that rather than feast them se lves at a luxurious hotel for perhaps two dollars and a half each, they would do somethi ng for someo ne else a nd sti ll hold all the friendship and frat ernity spirit so much a part of Founders' Day celebrations , Their happy solution was a " Settlement School Book Tea" held at the home of one of the ir memMrs. to whkh contributions were brought. (They had hinted that a dollar e2ch would M most satisfactory, but members gave as their budgets warranted ) From this wartime Founders' D ay, Chicago South was able to order fifty books from a li st compiled by Miss May K Duncan, head of the department of elementary education of the University of Kentucky , as selrctio ns which would M beneficial to our Settlement School elementary grade library Can't you just see the shining faces o f our Gatlinburg youngsters when Miss Margaret Burchfield: Settlement School librarian , shows them the new DOoks on the childreo·s shelves at the Grace Coolidge library?

Other donors this past year included the B os ton AlumnI! Club, whose check for twenty-five dollars provided the addi t ion of much reference books; and individual members who sent down forty-three books, of which nineteen were welcome new volumes o n

The l ib rary is not dependent on contribulions, as l ibrary fees 0 twenty-five cents a semeste r from each high-school student plus fines of two cents a day for books over two weeks, brought a of over seventy dollars last )'ear. .Much of this WIS to replace standard high school requirements that had finally reached the discard st.ge after continuous usage over a period of yean.

The Grace Coolidge library is housed in a large room in the High School building, and is open f o r students three hours a day. which is aU of the time it is not being used by Mis! Burchfield as a classroom for English and Spanish, a <ttgrettable condition brought on by crowded quarters Not only are the students hungry for new bOoks, but ade·

•

quate reference work in the classes of our Settlement School Hil:h School demands a substantial increase in vol urne! for all courses.

The first need for the Settlement School library is to build it up for the use of our own students It is one department of the school which, while meeting the minimum state requirements, will not ho ld that standard unless continued replacements are made and new books added.

The second need--or perhaps a dream, but a very realistic Rnd worthwhile dream-is t o b 'li ld the number of books to the point where package libraries may M formed and l oaned for definite periods of time to the nearby communities l1110ugh this IT B • can extend its area of influence and bring joy and education to people eager for more and better reading.

While you alumnI! memMrs are chec king your book-shelves for donations to the U S O. and army and navy camps, don ' t forget Our own "defense project·· in Gatlinburg. and remember to send all the volumes that might M of va lue to grade or high school students there. Address them to the librarian, Mi ss Margaret Burchfield, IT B • Settlement School, Gatlinburg. Tenn She will paste a II B • bookplate in the front of each volume, bearing your name and the date received.

Or send a copy of your favorite· book so that others may share your pleasure in reading it! O r, should you have too many favorites to choose from, pick a volume from one of the li sts available through the uttle news editor, and order it sent to Gra ce Coolidge library. Perhaps )'Our alumnI! club mi,ght like to have a Book T ea or a Boole Day this year. as a supplemmt to the regular Settlement &bool projects (saJe of Arrowcraft goods and regular financial contributions t o the general Settlement School funds) so vital to the continua nce of our endeavors to bujld for the staunch mountain of Tennessee a world that is truly American.

COMMITIEE ON TRANSFERS

HE on transfen has used the same procedure as in the past few years. Chapter correspondence secretaries have reported transfers at the of the school year by 611inA: out two introductory transfer blanks: one for the chapter on the campus to which the girls concerned is transferrin,R and one for the transfer chairman. After n, the date when the above report is listed as beinR due on the officiaJ calendar. this committee sent Jetters to all correspondioK secretaries reminding them all that they should be cordial to the Dew Pi Phis on their campuses and urging those who had not sent in their reports to do so at once.

In the fall, letten were abo sent to Province Presidents asking their cooperation with this committee by seein, during their visits with the chap-

Ttees that the transfers were being shown all pos· sible consideration Advisory board in chuge of transfers were asked to help where there were several transfers 00 the same campus by holding regular monthly meetings with those girls All transfers received letten explaining what they might expect of the new chapters, what the general practice is regardinA affiliation and what is rxpected of them in regard to the national organization and the local group.

This year there were still more transfers than in the past few years. Eighty·six girls went from forty chapters to forty-one. Texas A headed th e Jist with ten transfers on its campus. Illinois E had eight and both North Carolina A and Iowa Z had six. Thirteen chapters failed to report.

COMMITTEE ON SCHOLARSHIP, 1941·42

THE repOrt this is a mixed report. More of our chapters first than have bttn first in the history of the Fraternity. Twenty (nearly one fourth of our are first on their campuses for the year. Yet there is a sliAht lowering of the average of the, Fraternity, from 26.21 to 2 eight chapters are lowest on their campuses. In almost every case of a low standing in scholarship poor cooperation with the scholarship committee is tied up. Help in time might have saved these

The committee wishes to call attention to the fact that the grades upon which the above was calculated were for the college 1940·1941. Statistics of this kind are released so late by college authorities that it is often spring of the next year before a chapter knows its rating The Scholarship Committee, however, has some reports on this year's work In September, Michigan A won the scholarship cup for the highest cumuJative average for .11 the years of comparative ratings.

They also won the n ew cup for this year's highest rating. Vermont Alpha and Missouri Gamma each woo the scholarship cup on their owo campus. Sixteen chapters have reported rust for one term of this year.

"Honors" were reported this year. The committee feel s that it is still not a complete repo rt o n all honors in its annual rtquest for them and urges that all chapters try to turn in during September the names of any members receiving scho lastic honors since the previous September,

During the year the Schoitnship Manllal was revised, The new form s«ms to have been very helpful to all members of the

The committee ' has been most fortunate this year in its Scholarship Supervisors The success of the committee is due to their untiring efforts. They bave been continually on the job, writing regularly each month to the chapters and often to the

Scholarship Advisors. They have aided the chapters in every way possible. It is to be regretted that three of these able members find it impossible to continue the work next year.

Gnand Council's action in awarding the scholar. ship ring to each chapter has been a real incentive to improved scholarship. It was awarded to all maple" except Nova Scotia A, Ontario A, Indiana r. Indiana 4, Iowa B, Iowa Z. and Louisiana A It is given to the active in each chapt<r with the highest average: for a year's work beginning with the spring term or quarter and must applied for before April 1 S.

If a chapter's scholarship is low the cause can usually be traced 10 a poo r se lec ti on of chapter scholarship chairman. The necessity for electing a strong member to this office is often She should be a succdsfu l student, but also should be able to l ead others and to inspire in them a desire for ,Q;ood scholarship. A junior or sophomore of thi s type is better than a weak senior.

The committee wishes to express to Grand Council their gratitude for the inspintion of working with them and to thank all members of the Fraterni.ty who have by their assistance cantributtd to the impro\lemeot of .scholarship.

COMMITTEE O N S O CIAL EXCHANGE

THB Committee on Social Exchange is happy to announce that the three obj«tives at which we aimed have been accomplUhed this nameJy. to increase the number of chapters ron· tributing to our Bulletins, to improve our Founders' Oay BuHetin. and to make the Bulletins a real help to the active chapters.

In regard to the first. our Homecomln,( Bulletin with forty four contributions was the in two years and our Rushing Bulletin just going to press has seventy nvc contributions as against twenty nine for the same Bulletin last year.

Second, our Founders' Oay BullC"tin will have contributions from thirty eight chapters this year. • gain of twenty two over last year and twenty me over the year before la!:t. but most importl.nt, the chapttts ate using our Bulletins. Colorado A woo first place with Missouri Alpha 's Water Fall idea which appeared in our Homecoming Bulletin this fall. Illinois E. Oklahoma Beta, and Washington A also the same idea. Colorado B took first prize with Arkan. sas A's Magic and two differmt chapters used Washington A's idea of Heaven and Indiana 4', It's in the Cards Also many chapters ustd the Victory Idea from the Bulletin. In Rushin,lt the Progressive Dinners. Gay Nineties. Hawaiian, Circus. and School Oay Parties were combined with their own ideas to make a successful party this year by many of the chapters . Indeed Michigan A wrote that all of her Rushing Parties came from the Bulletin.

The Trophy for Cooperation Roes to WashiflA. ton A this year. The competition was keen as many of the chapters outJined their whole Rushing season and did wonderfully neat worle. Washington A did all these but her style of writing was un· usually interesting. every article written having something which distinguished it from the rest. She also put in a number of delightful extra parties such as a Dad and Daughter D inner, Contest WafBe Breakfast, and a Big Sister Dinner.

The Trophy for Outstanding work will go this yeu to Manitoba A. The chairman wishes to say that two other chapters shared honors with Manitoba A-Minnesota A's Robinhood Table and Party for Rushing was the deverest of its kind. California B's write·up of their Homecoming Floa t was the best Homecoming write.up we have ever had. She had caught the real spirit of Homecom. ing; the Chairman really felt that each o f these was a gem in its ow n .Geld and if she had had

Tprizes could have awarded them to each of these chapters But we are giving the award to Manitoba A because her theme of "Hands Across the Border" with its idea. of the "brotherhood in arms of Canada and America" and endin,q: with the lovely original song of "We're Pi Phis Together " seemed to the Olairman. si nce we are at War. to give us all such an inspinlion of Pauiot· ism . Further it showed in what our Ca· nadian sisters hold us that they. who have been at War so much Jongt'r than we, and have aJready sacrificed so much, should still have the devotion to Pi Phi to send in their materiaJ, all of which was original, so it seemed that they should have the prize. Other chapters to wbom we give Honor· able Mention are Illinois E, Oldahoma A, and Arizona A for Founders' Day material and Iowa Beta for a Rushing Stunt and we do want to thank all those chapters who sent in pictures These will appear in our Scrap Book.

We nominate for the Social Hal1 of Fame of Perfect Ot.apters-Ontario B, Pennsylvania r, Ohio B, Ohio .d, Ohio A. Pennsylvania B. Michi· gan A, M.ichigan D, Indiana A., Indiana B. Indiana r.

High Provinces are-Zeta first, ,."ith an average of 9 4/,; Eta second with 9+; Iota. third 8 i Epsilon 7 6/7' Lambda 7 3/7

There is to be; a change in the time of sending in Founders' Day material due to a conBict with the date on which the grades go in Chapters must se nd in Founders' Day material on April 20. Super. visors are to see that material is in the Chairman's hands by May 1 that the Chairman may have time, as she did not have this year, to average the grades and make the awards for the Trophys.

The Chairman that the general cooperation of the Supervisors and Cupters in the midst of a war emergency has been wonderful and hopes that we may carry on as well not year. She also the whole committee owes a great deal to the hel p and given us by Central Office Resp«tf uJl y submitted, FlANCBS K. jBPPRlES

COMMITTEE ON FRATERNITY MUSIC

He Committee On Fraternity Music wishes to report that the so n g contest was held this year with the result that twenty·eight manuscripts were sent i n for judging of the three best SORAS. These winners wi Ji be held ove r until next year.

The Committee is still eager to print a pam. phlet of some kind with the newest songs in it.

Manv chapters ask for copies of songs not in the songbook.

We send greetiags to Grand Council and to Pi Phis everywhere.

COMMI'ITEE ON PUBLICITY

HIS year the publicity commi tt ee has spen t its time in compa rin g ideas and preparing a plan o f work f or the comi ng year, Although war work to have hindered corresponde n ce to some d egree, we do hope to have an effective program ready f or September .

Our work will start off with a l etter from the nati o nal chairman to a ll alumnre clubs and chap· te r s advising them as to the importance of l ocal publicity ch airme n Following this. a form Jette r will be presented to all publicity chairme n by their province supervisors.

This form l etter will be accompanied or followed by a publicity manual. Included will be not o nly pointers on the type o f publicity th at shou l d be submitted, but also finer points 00 approaches to newspape rmen and wome n and simp l e ru l es 0 0 concise writing.

The N.P.C. report on publicity this year stated

that "the only publicity which actually counts in the last ana l ysis is that which each fraternity womao gives by the way in which she lives the ideals and standards which ber fraternity professes " This is an excellent observation and em· phasized by the fact that the war has affected space availab l e for publicity by creating a shortage of white paper.

The public and newspapers are interested in worthwhile p rojects and accomp li shments. News about Pi Phi's Settlement School and awards reo ceived by members a lw ays are used This is the type o f news t ha t the pub li city committee en· courages and is e nd eavo ring to supervise so that Pi Phi prestige may be maintained and conti nu e on the high plane with which it has been accredited in the past.

Respectfully submitted,

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST PRESIDENT

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST bas faced the of defense activity and the attendant changes in collcsc scho:luJes tba.t most provinces have this ynI All the U. S coUeges had a aaminatioo period :md closed earlier than wual so that the second sonestec's work was pretty intensive. Only onc of the colleges in the "States" had the usual spring vacation and this was due to a scheduled Farm & Home Week which occupies the dormitories DaJhowie University alone has had no unwual changes in its academic schedule Chapter work S«med to be affected but IittJe how. ever, and with few exception.s things went along as usual.

AU the chapters in the province were fortunate in bavin,IC MD Smith them in November and this early visit was a splendid inspiration to each chapter My visits to Nova Scotia A and Maine A were made in the middle and Jatter part of January and to the other three chapters in February. Although every minute is made to count durinJit these visits and they are necessarily quite intensive are also a joy for the opportunity to get acquainted with the members of the chap· ters and the Advisory Committees, and to Stt the eager and willing way the girls make the most of every suggestion and the real interest of the alum· nr. I always come home imbued with the joy of bein,g alive today and fetling proud and grateful for the opportunity to know the fine Aiels we have in our chapters and to sec what capable officers they prove themselves to be.

Four of the chapters have the same arran,gements fQr housing as usual. Nova Scotia A has had no room for two yea.rs now since it is so hard to find suitable and reasonable rooms but the chapter was grateful to Mrs. Moreison, mother of Joy Morrison, chapter treasurer, ho ,generously opened her house to the chapter for meetings.

Scholarship has been on the whole much more satisfactory this year, with Vermont A leading the campUJ for the second time and Maine .A winning first place after jwt missing it the previous time by 0 3 Vermont B h.., moved up to third place and all chapters have good plans to continue to improve.

The list of extra-curricular activities is a splmdid one, every chapter having won some outstanding honors. Perhaps the most outstanding is the Malcolm Honour Awud won by Bishop, a new initiate at Nova Scotia A. Nova Scotia A abo had President and two Gold D 's. Massachusetts A has three members of Scarlet Key, President Gamma Delta, President Senior Class, President Delta, President Dramatic dub, Editor HUB, President Freshman Class. Boston Univer· sity Hall of Fame, Senior Class Officer Vermont A has three members of Mortar Baaed, President W.A.A., President Student Union, President Spanish Club, Winter Carnival Queen, Cum, Laude, Phi Beta Kappa and President Freshman Ow. Vermont B hu two members of Mortar Board, Editor CAMPUS, two memben in Who's Who President Univenity Players, President and Chie£ Jwtice of Student Union, President Junior

Kake Walk Queen, six ARIEL Beauty Queco..s, Otaracter Cup and President International Relations Oub Maine A has thrtt members of All Maine Women, President of Omicron N, Concert Mistress for orchestra of University, pianist for Glee dubs, auirman Commencement Week Com. minee, Phi Kappa Phi, two Members Mu Alpha Epsilon (honorary mwic). three Sigma Mu Sigma, five members Masque. These are only a few of the honors of each chapter.

Rwhing brought with it Panhellenic difficulties for one chapter but with three chapters the Pan· hellenic spirit has been unusually fine. The quota s ystem is being put in at Boston Uni\'"ersity Dl'Xt year with a quota of eight to I group.

All chapters have ended the year with a considerable improvement in financial condition and there are fewer delinquents than usual, three chapters having none. Three of the five chapters support the Magazine ABency and contributions were 100% with all chapters to our three national projects except in one instance.

So many of these fine results are a reSection of the keen interest and unJimited helpfulness and generosity of the AJumme Advisory Committees that it is difficult to imagine what the chapters would be without the constant assistance of these fine Pi Beta Phis. H ow many times during the year J give a silent prayer of gratitude for them and their

Several of the Chairmen of the Committees write a monthly report on problems and progress and this helps tremendously to know best how to proceed. J wish so mao, times they could really appreciate, as it is possible for me ta do, how invaluable every bit of their work is to the chapters. It is with confidence that I think of the coming year and its added responsibilities for everyone, for I believe that in spite of th e extra wade we aU will be assuming, they will realize the importance of their work with the chap· ters and continue to give of their time and energy as generously as ever.

The Amy Burnham Onk e n Aw ard for the province went to Gloria Miniutti , Maine A, and the Portland Oub Sophomore Aw ard to Marjorie Abell, Verm ont B

Massachusetts A actives were proud to help with the A.rrow Craft booth at the Flower Show in Boston, singing mountain ballads in costume and in other ways.

Friends of Mrs. Bell, house mother at Vermont B, will regret as we all do that she resigned this June. We hope to see her i n Burlington often.

The usual joint Founders' Day observance of Vennont B and Vermont A was cancelled this year because of travel problems. Maine A com· bined its initiation banquet and Founders' na y observance and the occasion was doubly inspiriDA due to an oriAinal candle lighting service rreceded by a talk on the Founders by a member 0 JIIinois A. & Dalhowie closes in April , Nova Scotia A combined its Senior Farewell and Founders' nay banquet.

The privilege of wntmg this report is culminated in the opportunity to express my gratitude to the members of each chapter who have been SO coope rative, particularly the chapter presidents; to the aJumnl!--not always just those on the Advisory Committees, but e5pKially to those members; to

Tthe National Committee members to whom I have twned now a nd then for assistance, and to Grand . Council members and their assistants who unfailingly give a sympathetic and construdive help to even the smallest chapter problems

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST PRESIDENT

HIS past year has been a most happy and gratifying onc in this province, in spite of the many readju stme nl5 that have been necessa.ry due to the war. The members of all five chapters have lo yally into the war activities of their various campuses aod communities. The reports of their work have bee-n most interesting and encouraging. On the Canadian campuses, social activities have been .ltreatJy curtailed and the effects Qf the war are beginning to be felt more sharply than they were a year ago AlI sorts of war and defense are being offered. At the University of Western Ontario a compulsory three hour course was instituted for all girls enrolled in the university. The New York chapters report many changes in campus life that are to take place beginning nat fall

All of my chapter visits were completed before the Christmas holidays_ The Deans of Women were outspoken in their praise of the cooperation which they receive from the Pi Phis

All chapters have maintained houses throughout the year The three New York chapters own lovely houses; the Ontario chapters rent their houses.

Though the province can boast of no firsts on campus in scho larship. the scholarship is good Two chapters have come up noticeably in scholarship. Ontario Alpha holds second place on its campus this year The scholarship committees have functioned well and every chapter has made a real effort to give more stress to study and study methods

The Amy Burnham Onken Award for the province was given to Margaret Brookins of New York r . Margaret has made an unusual contribution to her chapter throu,lth her excellent leadership. She is an outstanding scholar and has shown rare ability at organization -and leadership within her chapter.

The i s very proud to have had the Pi Bna Phi Fell owship awarded this year to Marian Webster of Ontari o B . Marian is a medical student of exceptional ability and it fitting that at a time when malicine is playing such an important role in our war effort the award should go to a medical student.

An unusual number of fine scholarship honors have been r eported this year in the province, and though the wa.r has put a damper on activities, the Pi Phis have remained active in campus life and have carried th e ir full share of hooon. New York A has reported at least sixteen members in different honorary fraternities on campus, including one Phi Kappa Phi. Members are repr6ented in every phase of campus life Ten members are On the Dean's list, a recognition for good scholarship. This coming year they have the election for

Vice-Pres ident of Women's Student Senate, and a number of elections to the staffs of the campus publicati o ns. This vear Pi Beta Phi won the campus Step.singing Contest. They were honored by having the Navy Ball Queen Interest in activities is very fine at New York A New York r has one girl in WhO'1 Who , six on the Dean's List. VicePresident of the student body, four major offices in W.A.A , vice - pres idencies of both the junior and senior classes, manager of University Debate and a member of the Winter Carnival Court. In publications they have the assistant editor of the " Hill News." This year a Pi Phi was chosen Queen of the A.T O. Ball. New York .1. has two members of Phi Kappa Phi and one Mortar Board A se nior recently won the hiAhest senior scholarship in the ColleAe of Home Economics, and another won the second highest scholarship in Hotel ManaAement. In publications there are Pi Phis o n both the Comellian and Widow Boards. In all, there ace members reported active or holding offices in at least fifteen different campus activities. Ootario A has some interesting scholarship honors. One girl has won the University of Toronto Honor Award Scholarship, another won an award in Socio l ogy, and one of the seniors was first in First Class Honors of the graduating year in Household Economics. The Annie L. Laird Prize in Household Science was also won by a Pi Phi. They are in nearly every major activity on campus and are especially active in sports. A number-of the girls are again enrolled in the Women 's Student Training Detachment of the university and many are active in Red Cross and various other war activities. Ontario B has few activities to report other than those connected with war w o rk. Two members were elected to University Hon o ur Society, whi ch is a real honor. Only three girls were elected to members hip in the Society this year and the third was a n on -fraternjty girl. The chapter has sponsored two benefit events. a fashion show and a university dance, and the proceeds were all turned over to the Red Cross.

I wish to express my appreciation for the fine work done by the Advisory Committees in the province, and for the excellent.service which our chapaones are rendering to the chapte.rs. Without the services of these two groups of wom e n and their 6ne and loyal cooperation, the province could not have had such a fine and successful year this past year Praise and thanks 1:0 to the many fine officers: in the chapters I can truthfully say that this year h as brou,ght forth some of the finest leaders that the province has ever had. The leader_ship has been reftected in the fine devel opment which some of the chapters have shown this year, and in the fine chapter and fraternity spirit and loyalty which has been so evident.

To Miss Onken a nd the members of Grand Council, as always, I feel deep gratitude for the

support and which they give at all tim<s . May the summer bring to all Pi Phis much

Ibappines and a new hope: for: better years ahead

BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

N THE midst of all of the disturbing coorutioru of this momentous year it has b«n good to find Pi Beta Phi chapters carrying out the traditional quality of their service to chapter, campus, and fraternity It ha s been good to be able to be as proud of them as we have For there has been evidence of definite gains in the regular channels of fraternity measurement and, in addition. an extra load of defense interests-projects , classes, and contributi o ns Chapters in the province were visited in the early spring by Mrs Warren T. Smith , Grand Vice, Pce$ident. friendl, presen ce and helpful advice bas b«n enjoyed and appreciated by every chapter The Province President's visits had to be made in the late spring and contact with the chapters was maintained throughout the year by the very lo yal and helpful from etch group. That wbich we have been able to achieve has been due to a genuine appreciation on the part of the actives of the privilege of the fraternity and to an accom· sense of individual and chapter responsi· bility for excellence.

Schola.rship is an ever present and necessary topic of conversation the chapter and the Province President and we all sigh or rejoice in the Auctuating fortunes of campus standing. Here we have a chapter whose preseot average is thirty· seven hundredths of a point higher than last year and vet has dropped from 6rst to fourth place . And another whose record last spring cast them down into eighth place and in one semester climbed to second place again. Two chapters on campuses with many women's poups were very, very low for Pi Phis and have climbed steadily, one passing UP nine chapters and another, six, within two years. The fifth chapter has held her second place and the sixth has lost her first place and dropped to fourth. inexplicablv . Competition for first place is very keen and differences in averages often very slight 50 that a winning chapter must be ever vi,e:ilant and determined. Every ,gain is evi. dence of determination and of concerted chapter effort, and the chapters whose gains are mentioned above deserve much credit The pledAe groups of the last three years have shown excellent records and we have counted on these as promise for the immediate future.

The activity record of the province S«tnS to excel in student this year where we have had Bettv Grim as president of W.S.G.A at Bucknell: Carol at Ohio State, and general chairman of the national convention held in Columbus in April; Kay ShimmoD, recently elected judicial president of W.S.G.A. at Ohio Weslvan and Tune Plues. the new president of A.W.S at West VirRinia University. Three girls have held hiAhest military bonors-Eleanor Shultz has been the third Pi Phi in succession as Honorary Colonel of R.O.T e. at Ohio University; Nancy Horton, SpOnsor of Pershing RjAes: and Carol Jobnson, Sponsor of Scabbard and Blade. :Ma.ry Newell was named junior "Repcesmbtive Woman"

of Ohio Wesleyan and Myra De Palma. the outstanding junior woman, by Wheel and Chain. Didcin50n College senior women's honorary . Mary Elizabeth Lasher has just finished her term as Ohio University Post's first woman editor. Province members of Phi Beta Kappa are Carol Johnson and Katherine Orton of West VirAinia Alpha; Naomi Strang of Ohio Wesleyan and Betty Grim of Pennsylvania Beta And members of Mortar Board are Betty Grim .nd Mary Ellen Osterle of Pennsylvlnia Beta, Carol M=berg of Ohio Beta, Kav Shimmon of Ohio Delta and Mary Elizabeth Lasher of Ohio Alpha . These names represent only outstand . ing honors and there IS not space to list the many others which have been earned by Beta Province Pi Phis and chapters.

There have been no chanStes in the housing arran,ll:cments in the province this year and, except for partial re decoration project!. in several in· stances, the chapter rooms are the same. Ohio B and West Virginia A live in their own houses and Ohio A lives in a house which they rent. Penn· sylvania r and Ohio .d rent apartments and Pennsylvania B. a suite in the dormitory. All are attuctively furnished and the chapters make improvements as they are able, maintaining inviting settings for their entertainment of guests and for own fellowship. Province chaperons are Mrs. M . E. Smith. Ohio A; Hazel Hart, Ohio B; Mrs Nell Smith, Ohio .d, and Mrs. W. J. Dozier of West Virginia A. All are experienced in their work, devoted to their chapters Ind able to Rive much to the girls in thoughtful attention and guidance

Beta Province chapters have always been fortu· nate in associations with two other adult sources of help--the Deans of Women and the Alumna! Advisory Committees . Each of the deans has seen ber n 4J over a period of years and has been aware of the problems and aspirations of the grouP. and appreciative of their For their patience and ,RUidance every 11 concerned is grateful. The alumna! who worle with the chapter are in manv instances those who have done so for many years and who have given hours of loyal service that their chapter might develop in strength and joy in the fraternity privileges which are available to every member who seeks them. To these committees the chapters of this province owe more than they will ever realize.

Beta Province again stands high in its supPOrt of the Ma,l!:azine Agency with Pennsylvania B in second tllace in total commissions and first in per capita support; Ohio d seventh in total and ei.5i:hth in per capita commissions; Pennsylvania r ei,ll:hth in total and sixth in per capita commissions; and every mapter .Riving Two chapters in the province plan benefit dances for the Settle· ment School; another encounages its pledges in a money rlisin,e: project which netted, this year, $45 .00. Holt House has received '22.50 from this province this vear. These gifts, both IU.5i:e and small, are evidence that the chapters are vitally

interested in the projects of the fraternity and concerned that they might have a place in their development.

The dosing of the year brings to mind many happy associations and months of work with active Pi Phis whose loyalty and ability have made the record we DOW write, The record is not only but encouraging in the gains that have been made where we boPtd there mi,gbt be gain. Friendly Irtters. prompt and good reports and the thrill of honors won have been happy incentives for the worlc of the province peesident. To these Airls and to their fine alumnlr committees ] would express my thanks for the many ways in which you have made my work. a joy. Without Mrs. Smith, this year would have been empty of the inspira-

tion of contact with our nati onal officers, which made her visit doubly precious. And without ConventIon, the constant communications which faithfully come tQ me from other national officers and chairmen are more valuable than ever before, and one learns with confidence to rely upon their aid in the many problems of six chapters and their accumulated members. To Pi Phi's company of loyal and capable workers we would pay tribute, There are not words by which I could express mv appreciation for the ever present help and wise guidance which hiiss Onken has given to me in the year just past. It has been a privilege to serve the fratemity and to know it through active participation in its prORress, and for that privileRe I am deeoly grateful.

LUOLE DoUGLAS CARsON

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

A GAIN Gamma Province has completed a r\.. year's work with no real problems in any chapter. Cooptration with me was splendid and I am grateful 10 chapter officers and Advisory Chairmen who were SO faithful in their correspondence.

Oapter visits sho'Ved each group to be well orunized and smoothly functioning and were a most pleasant Dart of my year ' s work. I had the pleasure of with Virginia r for its lovely initiation and banquet which was made even more notable by a fire in the midst of initiation. The i;irls' quick wits and prompt action confined the blaze to one room and the only loss not covered bv iruurance was the University palms. rented for the occasion.

Deans of women we['e unanimous in praise of the high place IT held on each campus.

In scholarship we had two first places with one chapter raising itself from the bottom of the campus to the top in two years and the other in first place for the entire year Three were in foum place one in sixth, and one while maintaining about the same average. slipped from second to tenth All chapters had from one to three members of 4' 11 K

Rushing success was spectacular with scarcely any bids lost except in the one chapter which has no preferential and thus no means o f knowing who wants them. This chapter however swept the campus and emerged with by far the largest number of pledges.

South Carolina A moved into a larger room: which the chapter North Carolina B did quite a little redecorating Otherwise the housing situation is the same with only two chapten, havhouses.

North Carolina A was theiJ led to have :Miss Onlcen visit them and North Carolina B came over for lunch with her.

Activities were excellent. In every chapter each girl had at least one, in most at least three. Honors and offices far too numerous to mention On

Tevery campus we had elections to Mortar Boud or its equivalent. Virginia r had 8 of the jmportant offices in student government if\c1uding the president. Maryland A had the Blazer Girl. highest award for excellence in athletics and North Carolina A, the award for the most outstandinR woman in college. District of Columbia A had Editor in Otid of the Cherry Tree; Virginia A has president of the student body for next year . Four chapters were represented in Who's Who in Col/lxes and Uni"e'fsilies

Each chapter has participated in some form of war work. North Carolina B has bought two one hundred dollar bonds, and South Carolina A girls have acted as hostesses one night a week at the U.s.O. center. This proved so successfu l the cot• lege asked other groups to go on other nights .

One of the Founders of District of Columbia A left a thousand dollars to the chapter to give to the Settlement School. They gave this as the start of a fund for a new health Center. Unfortunately we are not one hundred per cent in support of IT 41 projects since two chapters failed to give to any of them. Several have had most successful Arrowcraft sales.

I find it interesting that from 11 of our 13 provinces were graduated from Gamma chapters this year.

The husband of Mabel Scott Brown, former A1lRow Editor and first Director of Central Office. gave her lovely diamond arrow to District of Columbia A to be worn by the president. This gracious gift was especially appreciated since Mabel was so weU known and loved by Washington Pi Phis.

Again after I!;reat difficulty in the winner the A.B O award was given to Mary Elizabeth N:uh of North Carolina A. In addition to a remarkablv fine record in the other points considered. she had a scholarship average of 9S.

A5 I come to the end of my work may I say to aU of you who have helped to malc:e this year's work SO successful-thank you fo r everything.

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HlS has bten a nother interesting year for the six active chapters in Delta Province.

I visited Indiana A and Indiana r chapters in

November, Michigan A, Michigan B, Indiana B, and Indiana .d chapters in D«embe:r. Conferences with the respective Deans of Women proved to

be inte.resting. Deans Iud only favorable comments (Oe our chapters Ind each Damed certain actives who were particularly outstanding on the ca.mpus , Michigan B. Indiana B, Indiana r and Indiana d have their own houses Michigan A rmts a house from the college. and Indiana A. occupies a s uite of rooms in the Women ' s Residence Hall. All of these are kept in excellent condition. beautiluUy furnished, and are morc than adequate for their needs.

We fie quile (octuna.te in Delta Province .in having such fine women as chaperons. They are efficient in their work and seem genuinely interested in the girls Each has asked to continue her services for the coming year.

Because of its excellent scholastic record, Michi. gan A deserves to be mentioned first in the matter o f Arades At the beginniflA of this school year, the chapter was given the permanmt possession of the Scholarship Cup. This was given foe havinA the hiAhest cumulauve averaAe over a pe:riod of fourteen years since the award was first made This cup has been placed alon,gside the Stoolman Vase-they make a pretty pair. Also, the chapter won the new cup for having the highest average for the first semester this school year. Indiana B. Indiana r, and Indiana .1. ranked second 00 the campus for the first semester. All the chapters have jl.O excellent attitude toward scholarship Michigan A, Indiana A, and Indiana r have done well in extracurricular activities. The other chapters have had their campus activities somewhat curtailtd because of the war. Every member of the Michigan B chapter was enrolled in one of the Rtd Cross courses offered by the university. Many girls are knitting for the Red Cross. Michigan A and Indiana A have purchased War Boods.

The chapters reported a most successful rushing season Michigan A is the only chapter that does not have some form of the quota system. Next year. Michigan B and Indiana 4 will have second semester deferred rush for the freshmen.

All six of the active chapters contributed to the Settlement School, Loan Fund. and the Holt House Each chapter earned some commission foe the Settlement School through the sale of magazine subscriptions. This is the second consecutive

Tyear that my chapters have been l00?0 in contributions.

The Alumnz Advisory Committees have been most helpful in advisinJ!; the chapters. Scve.raJ of the chairmen have bem unusually efficient Province had the pleasure of entertaining Lillian Bttk Holton. assistant to the Grand Treasurer. She visited the lodjana chapters in March and the Michigan chapters in April. Each chapter gained much in inspintion and national viewpoint from Mrs Holton's visit

The Annual Indiana Founders' Day Luncheon was held at the Indianapolis Athletic Gub 00 Saturday, April 2'. More than 400 actives and alumnz met to celebrate the diamond jubilee of the fraternity's founding and to honor teo )O-yeac members. J had the pleasure of presenting the Delta Province Amy Burnham Onken Award. This year the award was ,ltiven to Magnolia De Hart. Indiana r The Michigan chapters celebrated FoundttJ' Day separately.

TIle climu: of this most interesting year came with the unanimous consent of Grand Council and the six active chapters in Delta Province to grant a charter to IT 4J E, oue petitioning group, at De Pauw University, Greencastle, Indiana. With a representative from Indiana B and Indiana r, our two active chapttn geographicaJJy nearest, 1 had the privilege of visiting this group in February. This colony has met with remarkable success. It is aJmost unbelievable the extent to which the administration and the other fraternities, both women's and men's, have welcomed the endeavors of U B 4J. We each came away with a greater appreciation of our national fraternity.

Although we can not look forward to convention this summer, we are looking forward to the installation of I ndiana E. This fact in itself, gives us oew hope for the future; it has been a great inspiration not only to the actives in Delta Province but to • great many alumnz as well.

1 am grateful for the privilege of serving as president of Delta Province. Due to the war, we have faced many new problems and many adjustments have been nectssary but it has been a good year for the province. I want to thank all the actives and the many alumnz for their splendid cooperation.

EPSILO N P RO VINC E PRES IDENT

HE record of this year will go down in the annals of history as one of the blackest on the report cud of national and interoationaJ affairs! With world civilizations crumbling into dust and those who call themselves men smashing away in fiendish at our venerable institutions. it is comforting to realize that n B ." stands as a symbol of those peace-loving organizations whkh will bring w all back to a safe and sane way of living.

I am pa.rticularly proud of Epsilon Province. Oh, of course all the chapters have not excelled in scholarship as I had hoped, and there was one discipline problem which miltht have been avoided. But looking at the progress of the six chapters from all an,Rles, I must confess that I am deeply Aratified. Of special importance. I feel, is the fact that

all chapters have been completely free from diques , and that internally the organization is very nearly perfect. How natural it might have been for each group to disintegrate to a certa.in extent when war was dedared! How Jine it was tha t instead each one gained new impetus and added enthusiasm for striving toward perfection. Much of the credit for the success must necessarily 80 to the six extremely efficient chapter presidents. Of equal importance in building up the line spirit is the work of the chapter officers and committee chairmen and the Alumnc Advisory Committees. The Mothen' Clubs have also been invaluable, and too much cannot be said of the staunch backing given the chapten by the alumna! dubs.

The Province Conftreoce sponsored by Kentucky A in June of 1941, brought together representatives

of a1l the chapters and some of the dubs, and succeeded in a most commendable way in fostering a province spirit which in tum will work toward building up a national consciousness in alllitcoups. The baby chapter, Tennessee B. especially to appreciate the opportunity afforded it in its first year to meet the girls from the other

The Provin ce was also very fortunate in having as its ho stess the chapter which proud I, displays the Stoolman The president of this ,Rroup. Sally SandldAe, has the honor of being the winner of the Amy B Onken Province Award this year. The committee which selected her had several very outstanding girls from which to make its decision and it is regretted that each one could not have been a winner.

My chapter visits were necessarily postponed h«"ausc of a second major operation in August, and while I felt that making my insptCtion late in the worked a handicap in in others were decided advantages. In ary I visited Kentucky A, following this with a trip to Tennessee A and B in March, and winding up with a tour of Missouri chapters the latter part of April. My contacts with the chapters and the alurnnz will always remain a shining spot in a hectic year. I Wl$ fortunate enough to be a guest at the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the St. Louis AlumnI! Club and in spiration J r«eived from the program and the personnel will ever remain with me.

The "veteran scholarship class" which H e len Nold referred to in her 1940-41 report. has been: augmented this year by the addition of Tennessee A which now has a second leg on its scholarship cup. Missou.ri r is in permanent possession of its scholarship t.rophy, having won it for the third consecutive year. Kentucky A'S second has not yet been computed, hut from all indications this group will again lead its campus. If it does, the chapter will have the glorious distinction of holding first place for four yean, a record never before attained by any woman's fraternity in the University of Louisville. It is perhaps also a record for the province.

, Missouri B has advanced from seventh place to second place-an accomplishment worthy of praise and an indication of .hat this group can do next year.

, Missouri Alpha's scholarship is not .11 that either the chapter or I would like it to be, but the girls a.re acutely conscious of their failure in this respect and are taking steps to remedy the situation.

Tenness<e Beta has slipped scholastiall, and it is with deep regrtt that J report them last on their campus. Drastic correction steps are being taken here too. and I have faith and confidence in the chapter's ability to pull up next year,

Each chapter has had high scholastic honors, although some have had more heaped upon them than oth«s Missouri Alpha had 2 to the hoooruy education society, 3 to the boooca.ry sophomore society, one member of B It., 4 memoos of Freshman Commission, and also the president of this group Missouri B had 2 Mortar Board 4 Temion, and 1 Oassical honorary, and 2 Frdhman Commission. r cla.ims four members of Skiff, and 3 in Who's Who Tennessee A had 2 electiom to Alpha Society, loa! equivalent of • B K One of these girls had the s«ood hi,y,-

est average in the senior class and was chosen class prophet She was the only girl on the class night speakers' program. Tennessee B had no girls to cIJo B K but there were 4 on the list for Mortar Board. Kentuclcy A has six members of Pallas Club, comparable to Mortar Board, three elected to Woodcock Society, similar to 4» B K , and the winner of the Woodcock Medal. This is given each year to the student in the CoUege of Liberal Arts: having the higbest ave rage for all four years. In addition, 4 members graduated with "Honors" in their respective departments, and 2 received competitive graduate fellowships: one to the UniverSity of Louisville Graduate Division of Social Administration, and the othe.r in the School of Commerce of Northwestern University.

Rushing was unusually successful this year in spite of the handicaps undergone by the Tennessee chapters which opened late because of an epidemic of jnfantile paralysis. The Tennessee Beta group was rushing alone for the first time and its rec ord of pledges is indeed gratifying. The province pledged a total of 117 Airls. Two chapters did not lose a sin.R;le bid and one chapter lost only one. The other chapters lost a few but in each case won more from their rivals than they lost to them.

Rushing conditions are not aU that they should be, but it is gratifying to know that n • cooper· ates to the full with the local Panbellenic associa· tiom even when they do not approve of the system.

While I had about the failure of a few of the chapters to attain high scholastic standing on their campuses, I certainly have nothing for which to apologize concerning their part in extracu.rricular activities and the college bonors which they have r«eived.

Missouri A has the president of three major groups: Woman's Student Governing Board, l: A I, and M ortar Board. This chapter also has the outstanding Freshman Girl, lead in two Work. shop Plays, the Homecoming Queen, Drake Relay Queen, the Fraternity Sweetheart, and the candi· date from Missouri University for the Missowi Men's Queen.

Missouri B had the May Queen, First Maid to Engineer's Queen, Honorary R.O.T.C, officer, 1 maid to the Hatchet Queen. and two candidates for the best dressed co-cJ

Missouri r had the editor·in<hjef of the Mirror President of the Pep Club, President of the Woman 's Athletic Association, attendant to the Homecoming Queen, and the May Day Queen. 1"hU chapter also had the Oiairman of the University Social Committee

Tennessee B had the President of the Athenians (junior honorary society,) of the Student Christian Association.. the Junior Prom favorite, the Band Sponsor. and Band Majorette. The chapter also won two cups: one for the intec sorority sing, and the other in the bridge tournament.

Tennessee A had the best girl, the most '" popular ,5I;i.rI, and the leader of the Junior Prom. Kentuc1cv A held the presidencies of the four majoc organizations 00 the ampus: Woman's League, Y.W.C.A ., Art Oub. and Home .Eco· nomia Club. A Kentuc1cv A D 4' was editor of the annual, the and another member was Art Editor. One o£ this group had the leading part in two Little Theatre pIa,s, aDd there

is &1.50 ODC of the Studmt Council. There a re 00 "queeoships" on the University of Louisville campus since the abolishment of them • few years ago because of ' politics."

A Kcotudcy An., was voted the outstanding senior. receiving the Sigma Kappa award; another was voted the outstandiOA with still another runner-up ; The Chi Omega Sociology award went to • Kl"fltud" A I am also very happy over the showing made by the chapters in athletic events, Kentucky A won the President's Trophy awarded to the ,group which makes the most points during the year in aU bnoches of athleti cs By so doing the chapter is stuting on what we ,II hope is a repetition of the record of the past three years when the girls gained permanent possession of the first cup. Missouri B won its swimming and its reI a, team set a ncw national juteceollcgiate record. Tennts.SeC A won $«'Ond place in kickbaU and basketball. and Beta made an enviable showing tn the 5wimmID8 meet although feU short of total points to win. Mi ssou.ri A, at this writing, has "nosed out" all other sororities for 6rst place in the Intramural meets. Missouri r went out wholeheartedly (or a1l forms o( athletics and wrule the chapter did not win 6rst place, it made an excellent showing. The spirit bas been splendid io aU these sports.

Each of the six chapters has contcibuted liberally to the Settlement School, \ contributions ranging [rom $100 to $'. Four chapters contcibuted to the Loan Fund and three to Holt House. The commissions gained from magazine subscriptions, while not exceed those of last year. The Settlement School benefited from the sales by $28.88.

The report on the fraternity examination is very gratifying. One hundred and twenty-six actives took the aamination and of this number 117 were 00 the Honor Roll. Two chapters, Missouri r and Kentucky A, were 100% on the Honor Roll. The active chapter average was 99..46. One hundred and six pledAe5 were examined and 101 made the honor roll. The Province avetaRe was 99 .10 with four chapters 100% on the honor roll: Kentucky A, Tennesste B, Missouri r, and Tennessee A.

Filty-two seniors paid aJumoz dues in the province

There are two fill-in changes in bousing in the province. Tennes.see B now occupies a lovely home

valued at $12 , )00 owned by the House Corpora· tion and rented to the which is graciousl, presided over by the new chaperone. Mrs. John C. McLean. Misso uri B, whi c h rents a large club room in the Woman's Building. has just redecorated on a very pretentious sale with a sta.rtJ..in& color scheme which as the Dean of Women puts it, " gives them ,U a lifl. "

Missouri A occupies its beautiful colonial house and is fortunate still to have its beloved bouse mother, Mrs. Curtis Hill, in charge. Tennessee A' s attractive lodge was redecorated by its alumnz and its cool green walls and Rowered draperies uc very effective Miuouri Gamma's three room apartment, which it rents across campus in a private home , has been renovated IlOd with the additions of gifts from the pledges and aluDlDz club, provides a deliAhtful setting for the unusual parties whIch this chapter Aives Kentudcy A uses every inch of iu four room house, owned by the House Corporation With the rising cost of living, adjustments will certainly have to be made in the budgets of these six groups, particularly with reRard to meals.

The Deans of Women with whom I conferred were all enth usiastic in their praise of the Pi Phis on their campuses. I was particula.rJy interested in their reactions to the possibility of deccea.sed enrollment next year. In most cues they feel there will be no shortage of fraternity material; whether or not these potential Pi Phis will feel they can afford to join a fraternity is another mattce. It is a matter which only time can settle.

A5 this year draws to a close I look back on the events with mingled pride and regret: pride in the accomplishments of the chapters and regret that I was not able to give them moce of m1ul/ As I look forward to next yeu, it is with renewed enthusiasm for an even better record in Epsilon Province. The privilege of being an officer in a province such as this comes only once in a lifetime and I am grateful for having been chosen . I am grateful too for the wise guidance and constant counsel of our Grand Officers, particularly Miss Onken, to whom I'm sure I've often seemed a trial and a tribulation! Pi Phi ha.s llOother synonym. I t is cooperatioD!

Here's to happier years in the service of the Fraternity we .11 love

Respectfully submitted, RUTH WILSON CoGsHALL

ZETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

I T IS difficult to believe another year has drawn to a close It has been 611ed with dreams-cometrue, scholastic honors. many victories (and some defeats) and 6ne achievements, which all bound up together make for a memorable year. That the Pi Phis have worked and worked hard is proven by their fine rerord and that they have played is inevitable for they are a grand, gay group of girls. We all had the privilege of having Mrs. Finger visit Zeta Province in the fall of the year and we profited by ber challenging. helpful suggestions. We were deprived of , visit from a national officer the year before because of illness in the national family and so her visit was one that had hem looked forwaro to for two years.

AU the chaPlers in the province had a successful year with regard to the girls they pledged and initiated. At the close of the major rushing season in the fall, the Alabama Alphas pledged twelve lovely girls and then pledged one more in the spring. This chapter is fortunate in that there is no quota or limitation system at Birmingham· Southern. it being the only chapter in the province where such is the case. Florida A, like the other three sororities at Stetson. is limited to forty. They feci most gratified over the results of thei,,' cushing season, having pledACd thirtem girls in the fall and three in the spring At Tallahassee, there is • limitation system in effect which limits a s0rority to fifty if there are thirty-6ve or Jess return·

ing in the fall. If there ace more than thirty-five returning, the chapter is limited to taking not more than fifteen. This fall, Florida B pledged nineteen and three more later in the year. On the Rollins campus, the chapters ace limited to twenty-five girls. The Florida Gammas were elated when twice as many of their girIs returned this fall as did the year before but they took only six girls in the fall and have not added to the original group during the year. At the University of Georgia, the sororities ace limited to pledging twenty girls before Christmas and ten after. Georgia A pledged sixteen fine girls. Later, at different times. they foue more In the whole province. there were sixty-nine girls who won the right to wear their shiny. Ji!;oJden Arrow and we are tremendously proud of them. They were and helped by th e ir Pledge Supervisors who conscientiously entered into their work with true devoti on for Pi Phi and with the desire to help each Pi Phi·to·be have a real under standing of what her Fraternity expected of her and of what she in tum had a right to expect of it.

It is with 00 little pride that I report on their scholastic record for four out of five chapters in Zeta Province, if not first, at least stand in the upper third on their respective campuses. It seems short of remarkab le that A labama A has been able to keep its enviable record for SO long, They had first place the mst semester, were first at mid·semesters this spring and althou,lth the report for the whole semester has not come in vet, J feel confident that they will hold it and if so, it will be for the sixth consecutive year. One freshman made A r .6. and a senior made 41 B K. Besides having eight Pi Phis o n the Dean's List, the chapter was well repre se nted in numerous honoraries-among them: II 4 -V, X N T, 4 A and K A E. The Florida Alphas won first place in scholarship on Stetson's campus for both semesters of last year. havin,lj; fourteen Pi Phis on the Honor Roll. They lost it the first semester of this year by .07 of a point but are working very hard to win it back this semester. They had girls to make Phi Society this year and we are very proud of the Pi Phi from this chapter who received her Law Degree and graduated ' Magna Cum Laude'. The Florida Betas won the Scholarship Cup again last year and were privileged to keep it because they won first place for three successive years. This is the first time this has ever been done on Tallahassee's campus. They lost their first place by .02 of a point this semester but are equally determined to regain it again. One of their freshmen was selected for A r 6 and they had one of their girls chosen for Z B The Florida Gammas stood fifth on their campus last year but although comparative charts have not been given out for this year yet, they feel conndent they have come up considerably. They had one member of Phi Society which on their campus is comparable to 41 B K and two o n the H ono r Roll. Unstinted praise is deserved by the Georgia AI phas who have worked very hard this year and have risch to third place on their campus. They planned on first place before the year was over. They had an ullusually fine group of and at the end of the Winter Quarter not only initiated more than any other group on campus hut their pledges awle the est scholastic avetaJlte. Four of them made the Dean's List, fow made Freshman Commission and

one was selected for A r .1.. One Pi Phi made X A I t another K A II and one was on the Varsity DebatinJlt Team.

It has been tremendously interesting to watch the chapters this year-knowing how much de· pended on good team work and seeing what progress could be made under the able leadership of their chosen officers and with good cooperation. The Pi Phis seemed to excel in every field and their list of honors is an imposing one, Amo ng them are: two Presidents of College Government As socia tion two On Ex«'utive Council of Student Body, President of Panhelienic, Secretary of Stu· dent Council, Vice·President of law School Senior Class. Vice . President and Treasurer of Senior Class, President and Secretary of Sophomore Class, two Presidents and one Secretary of Women's Athletic Association, Editor and two Junior Women's Edi· tors of college yearbook, Editor, Assistant Editor and Editor of college paper besides four staff members, two Editors of literary magazines. Vice·President. Treasurer and Cabinet Member of Y.W.C.A. one President, one Secretary and two members of Mortar Board, two in the Honor and three in Libra-both of these are comparable to Mortar Board. one in Zodiac, eight in Who's Who, lntramural Manager. President of Art Club, Presi· dent of French Club, four in May Court and Football Queen. The chapters have won cups, trophies and medals in swimming, volley ball, hor se shows and riflery as well as Intramural Play Contests. lnterfraternity·Intersorority Sings , Ora. matics. Glee Clubs and Choir work, Two chapters were presented the Intramural Sports Trophy for the year. All in all, they have done well this year and are prepared to carry their responsibilities and obi igations capably and with credit to all can· cerned next year.

The Amv B Onken Award for Zeta Province was won by Virginia Evins of Alabama A. She won about every honor on campus and what with all the heavy demands made on her time, she always found time to give her chapter, of which she was President. the time and thought it needed. To list a few of her honors, she was President of Mortar Board and delegate to their Conve n tion, President of Women's Athletic Association for the second time a nd o n the Intramural &ard. a member of both e % A and K 4 E t Vice-President of the Senior Class. a member of the Student Life Committee and Vice. President for two years of the Amazons , a social organization on campus. She was selected by the whole student body to be the BirminghamSouthern Princess for the annual Christmas Carnival, which included three.day fes· tivities climaxed by a ball honoring the princesses. She was one of the chosm from Bit· mingham·$outhem for inclusion in Who's Who and finally. she was one of the two senior girls to receive a Loving Cup this year for having rendered the most valuable service to their coUeRe and cam· pus. H er sorority sisters paid her this tribute: "Virginia is one of those girls who can mix leadership and popularity, scholarship and person· a1ity, service and friendl iness to make the true ideal of 11 B c1J."

The Pi Phis in Zeta Province, with aU their many and varied activities and responsibilities, seldom slight their social programs. Their parties iovariably get fuJI consideration and vary from 'crackers and coke' alfain, given on the slightest

provocation. to the formal 'Star-Dust Ball ' started by the Georgia Alphas and which they intend making an annuaJ affair. Florida B has continued its Sunday night buffet suppers and some chapters have substituted Hay Rides for Spring Formals-due 10 the disappearance of the Stag-line. Invitations cover an equally wide range, running from the verbal agcC'ement to the novel idea of having miniature records 00 which is the invita· tion Resourcefulness is certainly DOt lacking among the Pi Phis.

The Alumna! Advisory Committees have contributed most generously of their time and knowledge. That their kindly advice and constructive suggestions are needed and welcomed is made evident by the A:irls. The chapters which have made the greatest progress are those which have worked closely with their Alumnr Advisory Committees. The aJumnae on these committees have felt so much interest in the active chapters that in some instances they have been willing to make trips varying from ten to sixty miles to attend their medings once a month. The relationship between

Tactives and aJumnz is exceedingly fine and the inspiring contacu made on both sides is considered invaluable . At the dose of this, my second year, I do not hesitate to speak of the happiness and satisfac· tions that have been mine in working with these five chapters. The Airls have made my work easy by their splendid. enthusiastic letters and prompt reports. Por their inspiration, ] am grateful be· sides beinA excecdinAly proud of the fine visions which they have had the ability and mentality to into realities They have made advance4 ments which are worthy of the seventy.fifth year which we are all celebrating in our hearts That Areat help has come to me from Miss Onken, from Grand Council and Central Office from the Alumnz Advisory Committees and fcom the Deans of Women and all three of our fine house mothers in this province at the time of my chapter visits, malc.ing it possible for me to do the work, is not to be questioned To all of them now , ] should like to express my gratitude.

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

HIS third year as Eta Province President has brought continued joy but increased responsi· bility, with a ,greater reaJization of what a force of strength and happiness n B is. The experience gained has been valuable. This is true not only in the necessary routine of such detailed work but in the contacts with groups and individuals.

I visited chapters in the second semester, after the new officers were installed. Mu. Alford con· tributed a great deal by her visits to the chapters in the 6rst semester. Each president wrote en· thusiastically about what her visit had meant to her and to her chapler.

In the main, the officers and chairmen have been efficient and their strength has been reflected by improvement in many ways. Internal development and organization have been stressed. Most of the officers and chairmen had notebooks to pass on to their successors, with ideas and sUAAestions suited to their local chapter. Some chapters had very excellent notebooks. TIle social chairman's notebook at Illinois Z is used as a model by Dean Leonard at IIJinois. Most of the super4 visors were excellent. They had worked for the development of the pledges giving them the reo quired pledge training and in several chaplers additional information, through 6ne programs. Most of the chapters had splendid programs at their meetings, some were planned with the pledges in attendance. These further fraternity interest and information. The cooperation and promptness of letters and reports from officers and chairmen have been one hundred per cent from some chapters, while in other chapters, it was the fault of one or two .Riels usuall,. The friendly and informative letters from chaoters have been a constant source of help and ddi.Rht.

Illinois A and Wisconsin A are the only chapters not on Quota system. The raising of the quota at B·d and tIIinois H was a great help in their rushil1Jl:. Rushing. without exception. wu most successful and desirable Airls were pledged. 145 girlJ were initiated during the year.

BROOKS

Wisconsin A, 1IIinois E, and Illinois Z have large beautifully furnished houses. Illinois E and JlJinois Z redecorated and refurnished parts of their houses last summer. The pledges live in the house at 1l1inois. Illinois H has an attractive but small house, since many of the chapter arc Decatur girls. Usually there are about nine living in the house, but this year there were fourteen. Wisconsin B is justly proud of its very lovely new Georgian house, which is used for social activities, meetings, ceremonies, and parties. Wisconsin r has two attractive rooms in the Panhellenic house and IJIinois A has two rooms in the registrar's house.

The financial condition of every chapter is sound but a few chapters allowed too large delinquencies, while another chapter had a small delinquency only one month.

My contacts with the Deans were more helpful than formerly. partl.,. due to the fact that we were not strangers. Two of the Deans are Pi Beta Phis. They all praised the chapters for their interest in scholarship. cooperation. ambition, cam4 pus honors and offices, social prominence and standards. The girls were spoken of individually in many cases.

There are 6ve chaperons in the province. There was a charming new chaperon at Wisconsin B, all others are the same as last year. The Wisconsin A chaperon is retiring after several years of splendid service. All have been women of high ideals, with an appreciation of the standards of n B 1fI. One of the chaperons is a Pi Phi, at Illinois H.

Every chapter has a fine system of awards for scholarShip and activities.

Contact with the alumnz advisory has been SUP4 plemented with letters and notes on the formal post cards, in many instances. Most of the alumnae advisory boards have been efficient and in close touch with the actives, and have given untiring effort and helpful advice to help the chapter main4 tain its true rank on its campus. It is more than a coincidence that where one finds a well function4

iog advisory, one finds a strong chapter, too. It has been gratifying, after stressing support to tilt Magazine Agency, to learn that Eta Province wa.s second in total commissions earned but first in commissions (!"Om active chapters. Four chapters the' eight highest with Wisconsin A, Illinois E, Illinois Z. and Wisconsin B ranking fint , third, fifth and sixth, respectively , Wisconsin A had the second highest commission per capita, U1inois E third and lIIinois Z fifth; in the greatest percentage increases, Illinois E and Wisconsin A were first and fifth respectively. Ooly one chapter had no commissions

Wisconsin B, Wisconsin r. and Illinois 'E have Mothers' Clubs, assisting the chapters in a practicaJ way with lime and money.

Scholarship in the province improved a5 a whole, with the ' chapters putting forth real effort {o improve their scholastic average. Study houn and rules were good in most casn and some were more strict than last year Also, more care was taken in checking the scholarship of the rush«s. Wisconsin A raised from seventh to third place in the first semester of this year, Wisconsin r raistd one place in ranking, Illinois B·,6 holds first place aRain, been first all but one semester in the last fiftetn semesters. Illinois Z was fifth and was referred to at the Panhellenic banqut't as one of the top ranking chapters in scholarship and activities Some unavoidable in· completes pulled down the in two chapten Pledge are in with the actives in three schools, theR often have lowered the aven,q:e. Shortened examination schedules, steoped up school, .-;irls leovin,v; school in the middle of the semester and the general unrest have affected the scholarship.

There are good activity requirements in all chapters This year there has b«n ,q:reater prominence in offices. chairmanships, musical orAaniu· tions, social activities, honorary fraternities, publi· catiC'IRs, dramatics, athletic events. selection as QuetnS. and honors. In this largest province of eiRht chaoten, it is impossible to list the activities as the Airls are represented in all activities offered in their schools. Prizes were won for floats and house decorations at homecomin,q:. JIIinois Z had a separate defense activity chart One hour weeki, was reouired and one of the airls was in of rolling. At Wisconsin A.

I am happy to report one hundred per cent con· tributions to the Settlement School, Loan Fund and to Holt House This was true last year althou,v;h two contributions to Holt House were too late to mention in my report

Dorothy Coleman Thorman, Province Scholar· ship chairman. made the presentation for me of the Eta Province Amy Burnham Onken Award to Beverlv Coffman, lIIinois E, at Founders ' Day

I had the opportunity of seoein,q: all of Illinois A, a few from JIIinois B·6, and Illinois R in Mon· mouth on October 12 , when the tablet was dedi· cated on the ,q:rave of Mrs. Soule Then I saw Holt House afterwards. The Fraternity can be proud of this fine restoration

I enjoyed a trip through the Geor,q:e Banta Pub· Company while visiting the chapter at Lawrence.

It was a to be in New York during the N I.C. N P C. meetinRs in November and to attend the first N.I.e..N.P.C. joint business session and the N P C dinner and the joint N I.e.· N.P .e. banquet. I. also, was present at the New Yorlc Alumnr Oub tea in honor of Grand Council and was a guest of Miss Sophie Woodman at the December Panhellenic dinner and meeting It af forded me an opportunit, to meet officers in other fraternities. as well as have personal contact with the Grand Council of II B 4 .

It has been most interesting to work with the new chapter at Wisconsin r in its second year and have a part in making this chapter a success on its campus and in the Fraternity

11 is unfortunate that world conditions prevented Convention and our celebration of our seventy· fifth anniversary o( our (ounding

I hope that the conditions and unrest will not affect the chapters too dra..tically next year Most of the problems that have arisen this year have been (aced squarelv and the chapters have had the courage to place the best interests of U ., before personal desires.

I found hospitality and cordiality ex· hibited on my visits, with the Jitirls entertaining with apparent ease and poise, and plans for the comfort and desires of a guot anticipated and b.autifuUy performed .

I enjoyed havinR Adele Taylor Alford as my house I\:uest, on her way to visit the chapters in October.

I have enjoyed worlc.inl\ with the advisory boards and with the actives and hope th" will continue to aspice to greater achievement than in the past

I want to thank the membe rs of Gra nd Council for their inspiration and heJp and express deep gratitude to Miss Onken fo r her constructive and assistance.

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

ANOTHEI yeat of presiding over Theta Province brought the additiorul familiarity with offici.1 duties which was to be expected All regular visits to chapters were made in the fall of 1941 with their attendant joys and plca5wes 1be lo ng expected fan of war upon oue shoulders in December did not change the enthusiasm of chapters for maintaining their hiAh positions of accomplish· ment, but brought the additional opportunities to helD out in the many IYlilable war projects.

Iowa r has worthily and proudly lived up to her distinction of winning the Balfour Cup with Colorado A.

Alice Danuser, North Dakota A, by her Outstandinlt ltadership of her chapter for two years, her distinguished achievements on campus, her beauty of personality u well as person, won the Theta Province Amv Burnham Onkm Award Five other girls nominated b, their chapters for this honor. exempli6ed the 6nest in all requirements of the standards bv which this honor is bestowed They Jeanne Stith. Iowa A.; Maudette Halden. Jowa B : Eleanor White. Iowa r; Julia Weaver Iowa Z: Anne Jackson. Minnesota A; (Manitoba A nominated DO one.)

Postponing Convention this year left a deep sense of disappointment in all of us , but the chapters agreed that it was the patriotic thing to do to postpone it until a more favorable time

Our orovince visitor from the national organization this fear was Isabel Clark. She was a most welcome and heloful guest at the homes of Minnesota A, North Dakota A. and .Iso Manitoba A, her home chapter. The girls of Manitoba A con· sider themselves extremely fortunate in having in Winnipeg Her advice and guidance are ever available, a real inspiration to our Canadian chapter

Chapter houses in the province continue to be well·ktot and well.managed homes, beautifully decorated. and thorouahly enjoyed bv the girls. Equioment has been added so that all the houses are fortified uainst pr6eOt or future priorities regulations low. A and Manitoba A have rooms in private houses. both occupied for the first time 137 girls of whjch number approximately twothis fetr . Iowa A aaain had room for its piano after havinlr stored it for two vears. The rooms are now close enough to the campus to be convenient for use much mOre than fonnertv. and the chaoter has enjoyed serving tea every Thursdav afternoon throuIWout the vear Manitoba A shares its chapter room with K K l'. the combintd fumishinas of the two R;roups making a most attractive and comfortable place. more spacious than the rooms in the former Pan hellenic house which had to be Aiven up this vear. Iowa r sponsored two this year, givine; prizes to the room·mates whose room was most attractive, and holdinR ooen house for guests after the prizes were awardtd. Our chaperones add the bit of motherliness without which no home is complete Mrs . Han . Mrs. OwtnS. Mrs . Brown and Mrs . Cruikshank have a.ctain been with Minnesota A., North Daleot. A, low. B and Iowa Z respectively. Mn. Hoxie left a void in the low. r house when ,he resiRnCd last summer, and was succeeded by Mn. Scdpick.

Rwhing this year in the pledging of 137 girls of which number approximately twothirds were initiated. This is about the same as last year. but still DOt high enough. Iowa Alpha initiated 100% of its pledAes

Minnesota A and Iowa r had the Panhellenic presidents on their campuses this year, and Manitoba A will have the president of its gro up next year The quota system is still maintained at Iowa. and a combination quota and limitation system has just been voted in at Manitoba. in spite of Pi Beta Phi's objection.

Financiallv. the province has held its own in spite of rising costs, with a gain for the year in all chapters but one according to the April report of the Supervisor At the same time only $U OO in delinquencies were outstanding Comparative living costs in the houses for the past two years ue as foHows:

1941 1942

In other words, two chapters reduced the cost. two ra.ised the cost and one rema.ined the same Enough praise cannot be to the chapter treasurers and their alumnI: advisers. In April (the latest report received bv this office) every chapter was graded 100%. a fine record. The Buscy system and the complications of book-keeping for a large chapter aH;.or:d real work. and the unselfish spirit in which this work is done can never be rewarded, ex:ceot bv our sincere thanlc:s.

War projects have been generously and patrioti· cally supported by .11 chapters. Iowa r won statewide publicity as the first group at Jowa State, and I believe throuAh the entire state to forego a formal dance, using the moncy instead for the pwchase of a $100 00 war bond Manitoba .Alpha has given up many functions , investing approxi· matelv $600 00 in bonds. Iowa Z reported giving up two in formals . donating at one time to the Red Cross and buying two bonds at another. Iowa Z has contributed also ten cents a weelc: per capita to the Phoenix Fund, for postwar education of returned service men. This move· ment at the University of Iowa and has had nation-wide publicity. Iowa A contributed $20.00 to the local U.S.D. drive, headed. in the county by their Province President.This very gen· erous gift was deeply appreciated. Another project of the year which was most prai.seworthv in Iowa A was a campaign carried on among Iowa A aJ umnae to raise a fund of money to present to Iowa Weslcyan College for its Centennial Fund. This is Iowa Wesleyan's hundreth year, and the Commencement exercises on June B gained nation-wide publicity because of the fact that General H. H. Arnold. head of the United States Army Air Forces. was present and delivered the address of the occasion . He was engaged through the <flocts of Albert Lodwick, 4> d e, alumnus of Jowa Wesleyan. Mr. Lodwidc gave $)00 00, to be .dd<d to the Pi Phi which amounted to approximately $440.00, and with t:hiJ mone'f the college chapel was lnadentally, DB • .,os highly honored to have Gen-

eral Arnold as their annual breakfast guest. at which time he spoke "off the record;' gave many autographs, and completely mdtared himself to the hundred Pi Phis present. "Honors in Course" at the commencement included three wamen. two of whom were Pi Phis, Mary Jean Nesbitt , Summa Cum Laude. and Jean Stith, Ma,5l;na Cum laude A thrill to every Pi Phi attendirlJt the exercises was the presenting to Lillian Kendig Rogers, JOwa A alumna and long a member of the Board of Trust0!5 of Iowa Wesleyan, the honorary degree of Doctor of Humanities. President Niles called upon her granddaughter Mary louise Rogers, Iowa A, and member of the Al1tduating class to present the certificate to her grandmother.

All the chapters have wodcN faithfully in defense projects offered by the campuses. Iowa r and Iowa Z have had members of College Dd'ensc Councils . The former chapter participated in the wholesale candy moong on their ampus, in which 20 kitchens of organized houses were given over one evening to making 2000 pounds of candy to be sent to Iowa State men in service .

final scholastic standings for the year are not yet available. but at the beginning o f this school year, the ratings were as follows:

1st place on ampus : North Dakota A low. B Jo r low. Z

After four years as president as Theta Province, I feel it is for the R;ood of the chapters for me to resign, in favor of someone who will carry on more constructively than J have done this year. J sincerely say that since my own college days, no other activity has given me greater joy. To see girls enter as freshmen, go through four years of college, developing into fine, contributing citizens, is an unusually satisfying part of the opportunities afforded by such an office as this. When names of hundreds of girls I have come to know, all up little personal traits and incidents, then I know they have all made an effort to know their Province President when she was a guest in their howes. Cooperation of all my chapters has been unfailing I have never had occasion to be even the least bit ashamed of my chapters. Problems there have been, of course, but I have long felt that problems are not the thing to worry over, but tile way in which they are met My chapters have met their infrequent problems with courage and determination which has been an inspiration to their Province President. This fact proves again the value of experience gained f,om membership in a fraternity.

Through all the organizational facets of life in a n B 4t chapter one feels the constructive inBuence of Amy Burnham Onken We have this year lost the last of Oue Founders, but we have not suffered in that loss, because we have a leader who carries on the torch they lighted seventy-five years ago, with a courageow devotion to U B ()) which has long been ficsS in her heart The scope of Miss Onken ' s real understandin,g and broad Icnowledge of all Pi Phi details of organization cannot be estimated in mere words 1be help she has given fr«ly and willingly and lovingly at any and all times to those sed::ing it, from important Convention problems down to the least request of a chapter officer, has many times included youe Theta Province President as one helped .My gratitude to her cannot be adequately expressed or ever repaid, save in mv devotion to her.

It has so fine in every respect. I look forward to the fulfillment of every promise on the horizon for next year. Again may I thank all who have helped to make this year a successful one, our national officers. the advisory committees, the chapters. and especially Miss Onken on whom we lean for guidance.

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

T 15 hard to realize that my fourth year as Kappa Province President is ended, and it is with real regret that I feel compelled to relinquish the office at this time. Each year of the four has brOUght its share of pleas urn and thrills-and what can thrill one more than to see coUege Pi Phis accomplishi ng great things on their respective cam· puses-as well as carrying responsibilities. In the following paragraphs I will attempt to summarize the many things which have meant SO much to me during the year 1941.42.

The: Province boast, of one first place in schol. arship-Tau A.; two seconds-Oklahoma A and Arkansas A. The other four chapters are not proud of their ranking, but are trying hard to make the canting year one to be proud of.

In the field of ntracurricuJar activities each chapter has made a good showing. 11le major honors gained are as foUows: 8 Phi Beta Kappas;

18 Alpha Lambda Deltas; 1 President, 2 Secretaries. and 9 e lecti ons to Mortar Board; 2 A.W.S. Presi. dents; 1 W.S.G.A. President; 1 Who', Who in American Colleges and Universities; 11 eJections to literary societies with election based on scholarship; 1 President of :E A I; 6 class officers; 6 winDers of intramural contests; 1 outstanding intra· muralist; innumerable offices in campus organizations of variow kinds; of the Drake Re· lays (a member of Texas A h35 had thi5 honor for two successive years); Sweetheart of the Uni ver· sity of Texas; Razorback Queen at Arkansas University; 9 Beauties in various Yearbooks; 2 Sweethearts of X; and many other social honors.

Of the four chapter houses in Kappa Province, two are completely paid for. One chapter still has a large and lovely room in the Panhellenic House on its campw, and two have places in houses or apartments where the: girb are not

aJlowed to live This brings me to • subject which has grown to be a source of embarrassment to me -that of on the campus of Southern Methodist University. It bas been my sincere opinion that we would have them almost immediately. each time that I have in a report. It is still my opinion that we would have lodges today. despite the war and other extraneous circumsbilnces. if Mrs A A. Rowland had not moved [rom Dallas to Burlington, Iowa. She was practicall, driving the nails in them when she left, and then the whole thing lagged for SO long that the building restrictions caught us before they were actually begun It is a real shame, too, because nothing could do for this chapter in Dallas what some sort of a chapter house could do. At any ratc, I am making no morc predictions about lodges on the campus of S.M.U. All the chapters, but ooe, will have the same chaperons next year whom they have had for SC'Veral years past. The exctption is Oklahoma B. They have accepted the resignation of Miss Rent Fowle, whom I hope to

see located with another Pi Phi group next year. Practically every chapter in the Province has benefited by the advice of excellent Advisory Committees, and theR chapters tell me that they fee:! as if they could not function without the help of these fine and conscientious committees.

We are 100% in our contributions to the Sd:tlement School, toan Fund, and Holt House, and the chapters report that it is a real pleasure and privilege to have a part in the support of these three worthy projects

May I close this report with just a few sentences about the five members of our Grand Council? ] count it a real privi lege to have had these four years of association with them, and Aenuinely hate to it come to an end. My thanks and appreciation are extended to each one for the help she has been to me, and believe me when ] sav that I feel it would be extremely difficult to replace a single one to the Fraternity's advantage.

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

EACH year of college life is highJighted by somt particular event, and this year lambda Province actives had the benefit of a visit from the Grand President, Amy B. Onken. It was a time when we needed an the help that was available. Since we are geographically situated in a "danAer lone" of the war, December 7 brought a new way of life to colleges and universities of the Northwest. Blackouts were the order of the day. Christmas examination preparations were made, in many cases, by candlelight. School terms were shortened, vacations cancelled and full term summer courses were offered to hurry the students on their way. Men students left classes by the score to "join up ," and what had promised to be a year ending like any other, became instead the beginning of a new era We are proud indted that our girls came through u well as they did, keeping their vision clear to a day when the world again reaches normalcy.

In scholarship, spKial mention, I think, should go to Idaho A, which, after having made the rather poor record in the past, came out in third plaer-after a fall term in which every member madt it her duty to bring up her averaAe. Alberta A led her campus in scholarship, and good grades at the Unive.rsity of Alberta are very difficult to obtain. Alberta A led Lambda Province in scholar· ship foe the faJI term Oregon A again stood first and then second among the university groups, with twenty-three pledges malc:ing initiation average the first term. The other four chapters in the province did not do as weI! as they felt they should have, but SprinA grades promise definite improvement. All of the chapters were, in actual points, only a fraction below their rivaJs z but they were not content with that excuse, and etr«tive study rules and discipline were put in (OCCt Furthermore, the motive is now present in all for the Airl! reaJize that they bave a tare privilege in being able to obtain the education which our schools provide.

Individual honors (or hiA&. scholastic ratings prove that the students of our Province have be:n keeping up their averages aloog with all of their

other honors. Washington B has two members of • K •• Two of its seniors are graduating with honors, and two with highest honors. Alberta A has three honor graduates. Oregon B has one 4> K who has the honor of being the senior woman with the highest average for her whole college career Oregon A has two Beta Kappas, one of whom is being graduated "cum laude."

While on the matter of graduating seniors, I report with pride that eighty-one seniors paid dues for alumna: membership applications in our seven chapters_

Numerous elections have been reported by the chapter to under-class sc holas tic honoraries, which lead one to believe that grades are goinA to be even better in our chapten in the next few years.

The life of the chapter of the future centers in the success of its rushioR season, and this year Lambda Provinct as a whole had a most pro6tabJe rushing season. Washington B was still hampered Fall term by a quota system, which allowed them to pledge just ten girls. The ten pledged were exctllmt material, but before the vear was over the Dean's office acknowledged the (act that in thest uncertain times it was necessary for a chap.. ter to have a margin of safety if it were to keep going. We are hopeful that this is the end of the extremely difficult quota system at that institution AJI of our chapters put an emphasis on scholarship in the Fall term pledging, and the results were gratifying. for when the initiations were held winter term, fewer hold-over pledges were listed than in previous years.

My visits to the chapters were early in the fan term so rushing problems were fresh in the minds of the active! and pledges, and we were able to discern where and when faults in the present sys· tern had occurred. From the reports of rushing chairmen received within the last month, one can see that theff is even greater preparation under way for next fall to take cue of the possible dro'p in enrollment

Tht chapter houses of I..ambda Province are aU in condition for the '"duration ." WUhingt:OD A ranb as the most (ortun2te with its beautiful new

ColoniaJ home The house, its decorations. and the grounds have been planned with the utmost wte and care. The Southern Musicale which opened. the to the public was a unique artistic achievement. Alberta A took a longer lease than the previous year-ta-year contract, and many im· provmlOlts were made by the ho usemother, the aJumnr, the Mother's Oub, and the actives, wh o joined in contributing funds and doing much of the labor themselves. The house was much moce chttrful and attractive than it has previously been. Montana A leased a quadrangle building from the University. The quadrangle holds .bout one-third of their chapter, and this year it was necessary to have the actives in two complete quadrangle units, a part of an o ther, and the freshmen were in Hamilton Hall. Oregon Alpha's chapter house is in need of some minor repairs, which will be done during this summer, jf materials and labor are obtainable . Id aho A, Washington B, and Oregon B have comparatively new houses, all in an excellent s tate of repair Washington B added new showers last year to make the chtpter capable of holdin,g all the members and pledges.

In the matter of housemothers, Lambda Province is very fortunate. Only Doe change bas taken place during this year. Mrs Howard Fransisco, Idaho A became ill in the Fall and resigned at Christmas Mrs. Morton Tuft of Portland, Oregon, was chosen bv the chapter to take Mrs Fransisco's place, and she has been very successful thus far All of our other housemothers have been with the chapters during my term of office, and each of them is a woman one would be proud to have for a friend and an advisor. Each has her special contribution that can be plainly traced throughout the chapter.

Activities have progressed more rapidly within the time that I have beftl working with the Lambda Province chapters than any other part of fraternity life. A new interest has spru ng up this year in war work, and aside from being one hundred cent in contribution to fraternity cases, our chapters have been active in Red Cross sewinK. knitting. defense materials and bonds. AmonA our six groups that have Mortar Board on their campus, five are represented by two from their chapter. The other honoruies in which Pi Phi is well represented on each campus indude:

In every case the Deans of women have had splendid reports to make of our chapters. They all find Pi Beta Phis to be responsible and trustworthy,

I wish to thank all of the officers of II B 41. and the members of Grand Council for their splendid cooperation. It is my I sincere desire to serve my Fraternity to the best of my ability, and I feel the Province as a whole has moved forward during the last year.

Resp<ctfully submitted.

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

N TODAY'S war lorn world. with institutions and traditions of our "American Way of Life" so threatened, Fraternity )Dembers are showin,q their training in leadership and are proving their capabilities. Immediate ly following the attack 00 Pearl Harbor and ever since there have been increasing demands upon our time for more and more war service, and fraternity members ue taking a worth while place in such activities. To those girls still in college we look for the leadership of tomorrow, and because of their fraternity's training in clear thinking, unimpeachable standards and ideals, a keel is being laid to steady our world in the reconstruction period which will inevitably follow the war. Pi Beta Phis will not be found wanting in their capabilities for resp:>osible leadership.

As I review the accomplishments in Mu Province

for the year 1941-1942, I feel a glow of satisfaction for I feel that without exception the chapterS have grown in responsibility and judAement. Six of my chapter visits were made in October and early November, and again I am aware of the value of that early in the year contact with officers, advisers, Deans of Women, and general campus conditions. My home chapter's official visit was delayed until April as contacts there are more or less constant. Only Utah A had the pleasure and inspi.ration of a Grand Officer's visit, this chapter visited in February by Ruth Barrett Smith.

Of the seven chapters three were in the upper third scholastically, Nevada A being first for the sixth consecutive semester, California A second for the second year, and California r fifth, Arizona A showed the greatest improvement, and they are

hoping tha t this year will see them in the first g roup also. Nevada A recei ved a plaque fo r in g the Aceates t grade averaAc improveme nt on their campus, a rather r ema rkable feat , since they were already first in comparative rating All of llie chapters have study rules [or pledges 1bt syste m (or actives which has seemed most successful is that of putti n g all be low chapter average either on a proctored st udy tab le or o n an ho nor system of study hOUr!. Emphasis is being placed on each individual's responsibility t o work to hee own capacity, not co ntent with average work when capable of s u pe ri o r achievement. There were 3 P hi Bela K appas, , Phi Kappa Phis, and a great number o f department honorary elections thi s year.

Each -'troup i s working hard toward worthwhile accomp li shme nt s in activ iti es. We have emphasized the importa n ce o f each girl working in o ne or tw o activity fields of her ow n choice rather than scattering h e e interests o ve r too large a number o f activities. The importance o f entering varied fields, too , rather than a ll fr o m th e chapter going into One or two, h as seemed Campus recognitions for ability and dependability have bttn numerous Outs ta n ding honors rt(eived are as foll ows: 15 M ortar Board ( o r equivalent), 1 M ortar .&ard President, 1 Y W.CA President , and 1 Y .W .C.A. Secretary; Associa ted W ome n Students 1 President, 1 Secretary, 2 Council members; W ornm's Athl et ic A ssociatio n , 1 1 Vice -President, 1 Treasure r; Student Body, 1 Secretary, and 2 Executive members. In addition to th e fort,goi ng there h ave been 4 active in publicati ons including 1 Editor and 3 managers. Social honors have bet n too num erous to Ji s t as a re activity and athlet ic awards.

To Virginia Dean o f California AJpha went the Amy Burnham Onken Award for this province, in retognition o f h e r ou ts ta nding scholarship (Lower Di visio n H o n ors , B K, and Graduation With Disti n ction) , f or her devoted Fraternity Service (historian, ru s h captain, and president), and he r splendid co ntributi o n to university life by he r ac· tivi ty participation (membe r of Cap and Gown, Stanford's equivalent o f M o rtar Board, Coo rdinato r of U S O , President of Sorority President's Roundtable, Vi ce- President o f Sici Club, etc )

Rushin.g has been most successful during the year, 171 girls having been pledged. California A

and Utah A both have deferred. rushing while the other five chapters have rushing whm school opens in the fall. California A is the only one which has to functi o n under a quota system which is university controlled.

The meetings with the Deans of Women w ere a ll most satis fyin g. In every instance they reported fine cooperation, and exceIJence o f spirit. It is n ot my intention to imply that in every case th e Dean s felt that the chapter needed no critici sm , but rath er that when criticism was o ffered it was accepted graciously, and that matked improvement was sure to s how.

The Alumnz Advisory Committees have all functioned w e ll, givi ng great assistance to their respective chapters. They have been untiring in their interest and should have a special word of app reciati o n for their cooperation with me.

Th e re are three Pi Phis acting as chaperons, as well as a Pi Phi moth e r, in this province. The chapters have aU been fortunate in the splendid women who are se rving them as their chaperons a nd social direc to rs All but one act as house managers as well.

Each o f th e seven chapters own s its own chapter h ouse in which fr o m twelve to thirt y·five girls make th eir college home . Each house is adequat e ly financed and in so und financial conditio n. There have been no major structural changes made si nce Arizon a finished her addition just a year ago. Th e house s are a ll adequate to the needs of the ch ap ters now which is fortunate in the se days of priority restrictions on materials. There have been many equipment additions and improvem mts during the year, and of cowse the f o ur California chapters have been equipped. with necessary blacko ut facilities . National p rojects of the fraternity have had 100% support fro m the chapters in Mu . The Settle. m e nt Sch oo l has received $89 loan Fund $72, and the Holt House Fund making a total of $220 Fifty -seven paid Nati o nal dues for the year 1942-1 943

This report would no t be complete without an expression of gratitude to aJl who have been so coope rative with me during the year, and particu · Ja rt y to M iss Onken whose letters have been m ost helpful.

Reports of Province Vice.. Presidents

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST VICE·PRESIDENT

IN SPIT!! of the of this year and the many more demands upon people who arc at war, the club, in Alpha East Province have maintained their interest and shown a slight intrease in membership and much in enthusiasm. Montreal reports 100% membership as well as 100% partiopatio n in Fraternity projects and two other clubs a.re 100%. of the dubs had special observance of the nth anniversary of our founding,

Burlington is helping the actives with the financial upkeep of the chapter house and Boston and Halifax concentrate on helping the active chapter in their community. Portland has again awarded a pin to the most constructive sophomore in the province.

Boston deserves great praise for their successful sale at the Flower Show. The careful organization of Beth LeRoy and Mildred Wildes was responsible for the sale of over $2,000 worth o f Arrowcraft. Oubs in other sections might find a Flower Show a good place to sell, or perhaps a sale of baskets is possible at a Garden Club Meeting. The Canadian Clubs find a sale impossible but Burlington, Hartford, and Portland held successful sales and teas.

Ii new j;tCOUp had a Founder's nay meeting in Concord, New Hampshire. Under the leadership of Clara Ha ggeman members in the state were invited to the luncheon. Plans were made for a picnic this summer if gas rationing will allow it. Another new group met in southern Vermont for a picnic l ast summer and their plans for a picnic this sum-

Tmer are dependent upon gas allowances. There are two cities in this province where there are mough members f or a club and 1 hope that next year they will be organized.

We were all disappointed not to have Convention in our province but we appreciate the ne<essity for a change. Even though we regret not meetiRA old and new friends, we realize the vote of the actives is wise.

Although the amount of the magazine fund has increased, there are fewer clubs helping. Hartford is seventh in total sales and sixth in highest per apita commissions. I hope that all clubs will be represented next year.

No club reports any defense activities as a unit but al l are helping as individuals in civilian defense or volunteer bureaus. Panhellenic in Hartford sponsored a public defense meeting and has sewing each Monday. Some have made contributions to defense; Montrea l is also helping the Children's Hospital.

Oubs near an active chapter were most fortunate to have a visit with the Grand Vice-President, who, as always, brought inspiration and national viewpoints.

The cooperation of officers and members of the clubs has made this a very pleasant year and one in which there has been an increase in interest. For their patience and for the ever willing and inspirational assistance of Grand Council and national officers, I am most grateful.

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST VICE·PRESIDENT

HE Fraternity officers who have chapters or clubs on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian Border have had unusual problems to face since September, 1939. Now that the U.S. is one of the belligerents, there is a dearer understanding of the difficulty in the past two yeaes of maintaining fra· temity interest in Canada, and I can give wholeh ear ted praise to every dub in my province. as their monthly letters to me demonstrate their ability to meet courageous ly, the situations which have arisen. In all of my visi.ts with the dubs since last convention, and at the Province Conference in Rochester in May, 1 941, I have quoted a former Toronto Club president, now an officer in the Women's Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Air Force, who, in her acceptance of the presidency, in the first year of the war, expressed her personal need of the warm friendships fouod among her fraternity sisters . That this feeling is prevalent, is indicated increasingly as the months pass by. Our knitting at the meetings has from soft, pastel colors, or the ever-present whites, blues or pinks [or the comi ng Pi Pbis-<>r their brothers -to olive drab, Air Force or Navy blue, gray or black. Elaborate refreshments have disappeared

from our supper or luncheon menus but the Pi Phi spirit of friendly cooperation is everywhere evident, and the quiet sympathy for those of us from whom the war has exacted its hosta,ges, forms a stron,g undercurrent. In the face of all the above. taking place all over this continent today. how can anyone say that the "organized groups" are not necessary? The 6nal proof li es in the hard months years !-ahead of us. I hope there will be an ever deepening sense of our privilege, due to our membership in Pi Beta Phi and its training in service, which can now be proved as we continue to meet the emergencies that will arise. In closing, J wish to thank all the fraternity officers and dub executives and members, who have cooperated to htlp me during this trying time. A leader is only as strong as the loyalty of those who follow, and I, in the capacity of Province Vice-President, must rely on my dubs. far more than they rely on me. My eight years in the office have brought many warm and lasting friendships, which 1 treasure deeply,

BETA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

THIS province has just completed a most sue· cnsful year--onc in which increased interest in Pi Beta Phi has bun shown and which we all believe wil l continue. These uncertain days bring home to us the value of old and tried friendsthose who have stood with us dwing our time in College, and later, newer but with similax memories and interests.

If I cou ld hav e a wish gra nted for every mem- ' bee of Pi Bcta Phi, it would be that she should have the opportunity of doing this work for one term, The contacts acc so pleasant; the people one meets so charming that it is something to always remember. I have enjoyed every minute of my time spent with dubs during these two years. Each one is so different, both in interests IlCld problems-yet th e members are all so very nice; they are friends a nd another Pi Phi could move into any community and be happy io joining that Oub. However, I do feel that there are some sections of the Province where Clubs should be fonned which wou ld be a Areat sou rce of to the man, Pi Phis there. Due to the present rationings,

Ithere also may be the problem that Clubs alre-ady organized cannot draw fro m as Jarge an area as heretofore. Something can always be worked out so that no one will be deprived of Pi Beta Phi co nt acts. So, in spite of these depressing times, we hope f or more dubs in Beta Province, for t hey are the type: of thing which carries us through uncertainty more easily.

There were 639 members who paid National dues this past year in the Provi nce which is 60 more than the previous year and seems to be an a ll time high. Twelve (12) of the si xteen (16) C l ubs were 100% in their contributions to our th r« projects and :1 11 worked bard for the Fraternity. I appreciate the effort of each individual member in helping the Provin ce as a whole.

I wish to thank all of the National officers for their help and encouragrment throughout the year; and also the various chairmen and club officers for their splendid cooperation.

There three Pi Phis in the province that se nt me their dues as they do not live near any a lumnI! dub but still wanted to support Fraternity.

All clubs near active chapters helped them in

Arushing and when possib le met with them for the Founder's Day celebration.

Th e magazine commissions amounted to $226.83 for alumnI! clubs

The membership in this dub is composed of Pi Phi s that live in three tow ns that are about forty miles apart Thev plan to have a Founde rs' Day celebration nex t year if possible and to resume their dub as soon as times are norma l again.

My work has been a pleasure and I wish to th a nk all of my dubs for making it so I also wish to thank the officers o f the Fraternity for their assistance and help to me during the past year.

DELTA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

LTHOUGt( Delta province did not succeed in its eHorts to be a 100% province this year, still there are many individual achievements which are outstanding a nd are worthy of mention in this report. Eight clubs w e re 100 % in their su pport of the Fraternity's three projects Thirteen clubs co ntributed to the Settlement School, thirteen to the Loan Fund, and nine to the H olt H ouse. Eight dubs sold Arrowcraft with a substantial increase in the amount o f sa les, while sixteen dubs earned commissions for the maguine age:ncy, also show. an increase in amount earned. !be provi n ce co ntinues to support the magazine agency in a very fine way. The province was third in commissions ea.med , Detroit and Indiana po lis were on the I ist of the eight highest commissions per club, while Northern Indiana was 00 the list of the ei,stht per capita. In ,goin,cc: back over o ld reports of the magazine a$tency it is interesting to find that for the past fourteen yea"

Detroit has been on Jist of the eight highest commiss ions. while In dianapolis has been included in that group for the past seven years. 1bese: two dubs are to be commended for nn e su pport of this project.

There was a sli.J;!;ht decrease in membership this year. due to the few 1941 graduates affi liated with dubs The number paying national dues is: exact ly the same as last year. T otal membership , includinllt affiliated Araduates is 490, compared with '04 of last year. Ann Arbor and Gary both have repOrted 100%

Bloom.field Hill s deserves credit for its nne work during the year as a Red Cross Unit. In additio n to the many boUJ'5 put in 00 and knittiOA, this sprin. they hit upon the idea of a more checdul departure fo r the boys leaving Birmingham to enter the Senice. With the assistance of the Red Cross Canteen Unit. they have been .serving an earl, morning cup of coffee to

boys and their at the induction ceater, and have been means of inspiring other residents of the city to help do their bit in making good·byes easier for III coocemed.

The annual Indiana State Luncheon was held as usual on the last Satuxciay in April, with 417 Pi Phis promt This was the second largest attendance in the history of these celebrations.

Some of the dubs wert fortunate in having a visit from Lillian Beck Holton, Assistant to the Grand Treasurer, at the time of her official visits to the chapters in the province.

The province had the of visiting all but one dub in the province during the past year, and she hopes that they derived some

Tbqt should add real strength to the Fraternity. To this group and to the clubs goes thanks for helping to make these visits so enjoyable.

EPSIWN PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

t:C.AltDLESS of the fact that the war has brought the problem of a chan,ll:ing membership to a1l of the dubs in Epsilon Province the year 1941-42 bas been a very satisfactory one for most of these clubs. the war has also brought into clearer focus other difficulties confronting club organizations, the officers have courageously recognized and made real efforts to solve these difficulties.

The Jefferson City and Little Pigeon dubs bad 100 per cent membership again this year. The total for the province was 439, including one isolated member

All of the eleven clubs contributed to the Settlement School, and only one did oot smd a gift to the Loan Fund. Seven clubs gave to Holt House.

Tusual, all but one dub had an active local magazine agency, and only one in addition to the little Pigeon dub had no Arrowcraft sale.

Even clubs remote from active chapters made gifts to one or more chapters, or else gave rush parties. In cases where no gift is shown on the chart, other assistance WaJ given.

As a group, only one club did not participate in local civic and war projects. The St. Louis club organized the Arrow Volunteer Unit.

This officer regrets her inability to be of more assistance this year to the Epsilon Province clubs, and wishes to thank the officers and members for their work for Pi Beta Phi.

HB cleven clubs in Zeta Province continue to manifest their lovalty to Pi Beta Phi. The province has a total membtrship of 24S, which is a s light increase ovec ]ast year-of this numbec twelve are affiliated seniors.

We are very proud of the new club that has been added to the province in Jachon. Mississippi. with a membership of eighteen. This is the first club in the state. They are setting a fine example in Fraternity fellowship and service.

Lakeland again is the only club in the province with 100% paid membership. Atlanta, Birmingham. De Land, Jaclcsooville, Lakeland. and OcJando are 100% in contributing to the three fraternity projects-Settlement Schoo l. Loan Fund, and Holt House.

Miami continues to have a junior Auxiliary group_

It is very gratifying to be able to repoct an increase in the sale of magazines this year over last The total in commissions earned foe the Settlement School is $209 .3Q--an increase of S9S 10 over last year. This speaks well for the local chairman. Jackson , Mississippi , earned the lar,gest commission of $29.30 and AtJanta nat with The total amount includes $20.'S. which the five active chapters earned in this way.

Five dubs had a sale of A.rrowc.raft thi! year. The newest dub in the province, Jackson. Missis-

sippi, sold the largest amount-$1l3.23; Birmingham was second with $84.3' . Several clubs contribute to local causes. Miami pledged $120 .00 10 the Crippled Cbild,.,,', Hos· pital. which is to be paid over a period of two years. A plaque will be in the hospital insccibed with their name. The AtJanta Club, in addition to supportin,g Panhellenic. made scrap books for the Atlanta Child 's Home, founded by Mrs. F. M Robinson an I. C. member of the Fraternity. The Orlando Club gave $10.00 to the Goodfellow! at Christmas time for Orlando's needy Miami also sent discarded Chri.stnw cards to the Settlement School.

The province talc:e.s pride in the accomplishments of several of its outstanding members The Atlanta Club claims Mrs. F. M. Robinson; the Jackson, Mississippi, Club Norena Easte.rling, author of several books-the latest to be published is Peter and Ann; the Miami Oub has Ellen Knight White· side, who is the only woman ever appointed by the Governor of Florida as a member of the State Welfare Board, which is a part of the State government a nd includes only seven members. This board handles aU money allocated by the Federal and State governments under Social Security. Before this appointment Mrs. Whiteside served as one of the twelve District officers who wock with the State Boaed.

All the clubs in the province are actively engaged in Red Cross and work. The dub at J ack· son meets once a week as a group to sew f or the Red. Cross Miami raised $272.00 foe "Bu ndles for B l uejackets."

All clubs continue in their interest and help to the five active chapters in the proviDce. The Atlanta Club .-ives a reco.qnitio n pin each yea r to the pledge at Georgia A having the highest scholastic aver'fe. They also made the chapter a gift this year 0 an decteic dock for the chapter room, and two table lamps to be used in the study hall.

This was the year (or official visits of the

Tprovince vice-president. To have had this privilege of visiting her clubs once in every two yean for the past SC'Veral years has meant much to this officer in friendships made. as well as in deepening her feeling for Pi Beta Phi. She wil l always be grateful for the cordial way in which she was received by each dub and for the many thoughtful courtesies extended to her.

It has bee n a privi lege to have served as Zeta Province Vice-President. and words cannot express my app r eciation to the Fraternity for th.is honor and opportunity of service It has betn a real p leasure t o kn ow and work with the fine officers in eac h club. and to have had such sp lendid coope ration fr om them. Sincerest thanks is extended to them a nd to the nati o nal officers of t he Fraternity, who always stand roady to give helpful advice. as well as inspirati o n at all times.

HE alumn:r clubs o( Eta Province have had a very pleasant and successful year . We arc proud to announce a new dub, Bl oomingto nNormal, which was chartered last fall with sixteen paid members . Our province stood highest in paid membership fr om January I, 1941, to January 1. 1942 Donations to Setdement School have increased.. as have Arrowcraft sales. Magazine sa l es have nearly tripled l ast year's sales and including active chapters, we stood second. Loan Fund and H o lt H ouse contributions are about the same and donations of both money and gifts to active chapters have increased More dubs are addi ng t o the ir budget a fund for a Conventio n and Conf erence Defense work has been done by individuals of most of the clubs. Mao)' clubs are doing l ocal charity work and many are representative in Panhell enic

Founders' D ay this year, Out seventy-fifth, was

Tcelebrated with a fceling and with more pridt, even though all daboration was omitted. One dub. Chicago South, had a very informal tea and took the money which they would have used for a luncheon with a speaker, decorations, etc., and books for the boys' dormitory at Settlement School-a very fine tribute to our Founders .

On my official visits this year. in numbe r, I have found extreme courtesy and the cooperation I have had f rom th e majority of the dub offi· cers, has betn most satisfactory

It has been a n other year of p l easant work and associations and I wish to thank all those who have hel ped me so gene r ous ly Let us hope we sha ll be able to give o f o ur time to Pi Phi duri n g a U the present demands, bearing in mind always the thou,litht and purpose with which it.

THETA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

lIET PROVINCE is happy to s tart the annual repon with the announcement that we have a new club formed during the year. Twenty members of the Minneapolis Club who (auld not meet with the afternoon group have their charter and have formed the Minneapolis Evening CI ub This group has been meeting for a couple of years and will. we know, continue its work for the good of the Fraternity in the same fine spirit which Minneapolis Pi Phis have always shown.

Theta Province paid membership is the same this year as last, 439. 8 of this number being seniors of last year Many of those paying senior dues are not located in towns whtre there are organized alumnI! dubs making it. impossible for them to affiliate. but those who do active are almost without exception good working members and they brinA: a most desirable interest into our older groups.

The province contributions to Holt House are $ll.()() more than in 1941, the amount scot the loan fund is 1M same as last }'Qt, $lOS ' less was sent to the School but to balance this $9' 00

additional was given t o local chapters. This means that Theta Provi nce is continuing its active interest in the Fraternity projects and the reports show that in addition the Fraternity members have taken on many wal efforts both as groups and as individuals. Thil is as it should be for if we do not support Our own projects no one else will do it for us and we will lose ground in these worthwhile enterprises which have been years in the bui ld ing, and we have taken on our war work in addition, cheerful l y. efficientJy and uncomplainin gly.

There has been a $31.48 increase in magazi.ne subscription commissions which is gratifying and we hope next year to show a greater increase here as we expect to push this particular possibility for school support

Two clubs visited in the faU , Iowa City and Ceda.r Rapids . Four dubs i n the province have not been called o n during the biennium, Mt. Pleasant, Burlington, Sioux: City, and Council Blulfs, but we ap«t to make thCSt visits earJy in the fall. 1be correspondence with the variow dubs has been

most satisfactory this past year and we appreciate this cooperation and the contacts which these letters have given 05.

For the privilege of serving ou r Fraternity in the office of Province Vice-President and the delightfuJ contacts which this haJ made possible

Twith the mmlbers of the Fraternity. for the heJp given by the various officers and committee members and the pleasure of working with them, we have been most grateful.

IOTA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

HB dubs of Iota Province have worked well this past year Not all haJ been accomplished that h ad been hoped f or in this , our seventy-fifth year, but circumstances have altered many things There h Q h«n a decided increase in membership, with the tota l at CMyenne.

The provi nce again led all o thers in magazine sales, with Den ve r and Casper winning, as they did 13..5t year. the two $10 priles offered to the a lumna! Each magazine chairman deserves a word of peai se, L!i the results were sp lendid Every club participated in the magazine agency this year.

Regretfully th e province is not 100% in con· tributions to the Frate rnity projects. Thirteen clubs co ntributed to all three, but four did n o t A total o f $639 was sent to the Settlement School. $60

Kto the 1.020 Fund, S64.3S to Holt House , and Arrowcrut sales amounted to $l,464 .Sl. Generous offerings of cash, other gifts, and rushing aid were given t o the chapters. T here is a fine spirit of cooperation between the chapters and dubs of this provi n ce.

Nearly every dub has participated in some branch of war work. This activity has taken the time of many Pi Phis, but they have found time to give to the work of the Fraternity as well.

T o the club officers and members. to Miss Onken, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Wild, Mrs. Holton, and Mrs. Pu rdunn, sincere appreciation is expressed by this officer for the help and inspiration given her. To work f or Pi Beta Phi is a va luab le experience. Respec tfully submi tted.

MARJORIE H CoLVIN

KAPPA PROVINCE VICE.PRESIDENT

APPA PROVINCE is indeed proud of one new club this year. Ponca. Gty, Oklahoma. ]0 such uncertain and difficult times it is heartening to know that new groups of Pi Phis can band themselves togeth er to add to the splendid work already being carried on by the older dubs. Nearly every dub in the province deserves recog nition in one way or another, for each has worked hard for the Fraternity Due to w orld conditions. some have placed ,qreater emphasis on war work than usual , but all have striven to uphold the ideals of Pi Beta Phi both as individuals and as dubs 1 can think: of no better way to place ou r Fraternity in the front ranks of all organizations.

Such do nati ons as $200.00, Dallas; $200 .00, H ouston; $130 00, Oklahoma City; $120.00, Nita Hill Stark Club in Beaumont; and $100 .00. Austin, show th at there has been no lessening in interest toward the Settlement School. The Province VicePresident' s dream of a o ne hundred per cent record

Oof club donations to this greatest of a ll Fraternity projects still fall s short o f realizatio n , but it is nevertheless in spiratio nal to have hopes and dreams.

Tulsa , Oklah oma , led a ll cl ubs in the province with a paid membership of 90, followed by H ouston with 86, New Orleans with 76. D allas with 69 and Oklahoma City with S9.

The chapters in Kappa Provin ce had a most satisfactory record of 100 per cent donations to th e Settlement School , Loan Fund, a nd H olt H o use. Their continued interest in th ese Fraternity proj· ects is surely re sponsib le fo r the success of the alumna! dubs of which they late r became members.

I wish to thank the members o f Grand Co un cil for thei r constant h e lpfuln ess and toleranc e, and the club officers f o r their cooperation.

UR cou ntry is at war. It has been aptly said that trouble never leaves us where it linds u s. We either sink to further depths or rise to greater heights than eve r Aft e r visiting the nineteen alumni!! clubs of Lambda Provin ce last fall , I am confident that yet higher goals are in store for Pi Beta Phi

My fint visits were to the Canadian clubs at Edmonton and Calgary. They have found that fraternity love and friendships have become stronger since England has been at wac Though my visits to the other Lambda Province clubs were kfoce Pearl Harbor, yet the proximity of war was such th at they too were l ooking to those things which endure. Our Fraternity ties will continue

to mean more and more to us through the years which lie ahead, and the heritage passed on to future Pi Phis will be ever more precious ]n spite of the demand for more and more community service from our alumntt clubs I feel lambda Province may be pro ud o f the year's record . We have five 100 % paid membership clubs, Calgary, Corvallis; Olympia , Pullman , and W enatchee. Eight dubs are 100 pee cent in their support of our three Fraternity projects; those clubs being Boise, Everett, Olympia P o rtland, Salem, Spokane, Tacoma, and Wen atchee. Seventeen clubs co n· tributed to the Magazine Fund and ten dubs had Arrowcraft sales.

It is with regret that we must report a decrtase of $20 '0 in our contributions to the Loan Fund and a decrease of $7 '0 to Holt But our cerompense lies in the fact that our clubs have given more than previously to Red Cross an d to local relief agencies .

Because of ill health it was impossible for me to carry on my regular correspondence with my clubs the latter part of this year. I wish to express my gratitude for the kindness and patience which has been accorded me by the clubs and their officers as well as Ruth Barrett Smith, Lillian Beck Holton, and Adele Taylor Alford It is my earnest hope to be able to fill my position to the best of my ability this coming year

Surely our need for close cooperation has never been so vital. With shortages and rationing comes the necessity for devising other ways and means to carry on. And carry on, we shall!

MU PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

ECAUSB so much of Mu Province is now very definitely a military zone and even a potential combat area, her clubs have found themselves facing many a new and difficult situation. To groups who have suddenly found themse lves plunged into a blackout, evening meetings immediately become inadvisable.

All dubs are helping in the national emergency, members of the smaHer ones working mostly a5 individuals while larger dubs , where numbers make this possible, work as groups. This entails both money gifts and personal service and if the hours given by Pi PhIS could be tabulated, it would be an imposing figure. Included in the outstanding work toward the war effort are Pasadena's work and donation for the Visiting Nurses' Association, San Francisco's gift of $100.00 for auxiliary mobile lights for twenty Red Cross Centers, Nevada's formation of a Red Cross unit listed as the "Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Club Canteen Unit" and Los AngelC1 Gub's Grav Lady Corps of the Red Cross which, with the club's financial backing has equipped and staffed four Recreation Rooms for one of the reRiments in active service on the coast and has equipped two Officers' Rooms and a room for the Medical Unit, in addition . Included in this corps are several Gray Ladies from the Santa Monica Club . That all this should have had so little effect upon the support given by the Province to Fra-

ternity -sponsored projects testifies to the depth" of interest felt by Pi Phis everywhere for our own. The achievement of Honolulu Club in sending $100 to School cannot be passed over silently . This is not a large club and many of her members have been evacuated Her example is one to make the rest of us fell very humble. In general, throughout the province donations to Settlement School increased, though the total was somewhat smaller than last year, offset by increased supPOrt through Magazine Commissions.

Contributions to Loan Fund were lessened by $11.'0 and Arrowcraft sales were considerably smaller_ This is natural with conditions on the coast as they are at present.

Altogether, it is with pride in the province that this report is made . The response to the emergency and the spirit of the membership is an inspiration to one who knows these clubs from the outside.

To the clubs. their officers and to the lay members of the dubs, each of whom plays so important a part in the success of her group, is the Fraternity indebted.

To each of them go heartfelt thanks from the province vic e-president. To all Council members and to the Assistants who are always ready with help and backing, she feels most grateful indeed_

Ruth Barrett Smith that : "For tbe immediate present. the tlSle is serTice to our country. Perhapa the fHtmlit)' is best served b, calm, able contributIons to our communities."

With thi s in mind we applied to the American National Red Cross last September for sewioa work to do and were ,ppoiottd a Unit of the Oakland eow:;ty Chapter o( the Red Cross Every meetinl is devoted to sewing Irom 1t A". to , P M. and we have Iccomplished more than our fondest hopes could foresee.

After Pe.rt Harbor, however, we wanted to express our ""ice stiJl further to the national effort We con · trmuted to the Red Clou Drive and cast about to find how we could help in loed ar efforts. Throu«h the pms u well as ptt1I)n.1 observation and reports of lCfVice men .nd their families it came to our attention that r«ruits dcpartitla lot tnJninc camps were no aw-l.1d dcmooJtntioa expressmg the Ion and pride and en coura&cmen t the communilf fttb toward them when thtJ are eokrin4 their country a serTice.
