The Ames Alumnae Cl ub held its fir st mee ting of the yea r on S eptember 26 at the home of Kittie Freed, '92, in response to an invitati on to dine with her, and, in sp it e o f the rain, most of th e member s of the club were prese nt. Afte r a sump t uo us an d daintil y served di nner , we had a short business sess ion, at which t ime the officers o f the previous year were r eelected.

During the year we have increased our numbers by fiv e m embe rs. Carrie Watters of I o wa Zeta came to us as an in s tru ct or in hi st ory; th e othe r four are member s of I owa Gamma. We have had our r egu lar mee tings during the yea r a nd have been di sc u s sing th e feas ibility of erecting a chap t er ho use. It is ve ry desi r able that the girls have a h ome at the coll ege rather than in town, a s t hey have had d ur ing the last two yea r s. Next year they are to live ju st a sho rt distance fr om the college campu s and in a very pl easa nt location. Afte r Septembe r , ' 910, we very much hope tha t th ey will have t heir own home.

The annual party was give n on May I, and wa s a very deli g htful affair. It was given in a large ne w hall which had been decor at ed very prettily in pink and white. A ve r y pretty addition wa s the Ma y-pole, which stood in the center o f the room, about which the girls danced at th e beginning o f th e evening's fe stivities.

Commencement days are close at hand and we shall have but o ne more meeting during the pr ese nt college yea r a nd then many of u s will leave the campus for the summer.

of the membership ha s met each time. We had a thoroughly enjoyable social time after the business was finished. We were very glad to welcome two new members this year, Louise Van Sant of Maryland Alpha and Jane Bigelow of Indiana Beta, who has been studying medicine at Johns Hopkins.

We have enjoyed our frequent meetings with Maryland Alpha and can report it an influential chapter, with each girl an important unit of the whole. We have attended the teas given by thi s chapter, we joined with them in their annual banquet at the close of the year and had two or more of their members at each of our monthly meetings.

As our membership is not large-we numbered only ten-we could do very little in the way of organized work, but we have held together and we were able to assemble forty Pi Phis, alumna! and ac tive, at our annual supper in May. This we held on the porch and lawn at the home of one of the members and we followed it by a linen shower for a Maryland Alpha bride-to-be.

BERKELEY ALUMNJE CLUB

The Berkeley Alumnre Club of Pi Beta Phi has been meeting once a month during the past year. We hold our meetings at the homes of the various members and from the thirty enrolled we have an average attendance of twenty.

In November our regular meeting was held at the Hotel Stewart in San Francisco, where we enjoyed a delicious luncheon. The February meeting took the form of a Valentine card party at which we entertained the fre shmen of California's Alpha and Beta at the home of Elsie Howell. In April we entertained the sophomores and juniors of both chapters at a musical at Amy Hill's. The talent was doubly enjoyed because it was an Pi Phi. In May we entertained the seniors of the two chap\ers at a luncheon.

In April Gamma Phi Beta called a meeting of two representatives from each of the alumn", clubs of the different women's fraternities in Berkeley to discuss the advisability of forming an alumn", Pan-Hellenic association to aid the active Pan-Hellenic association in any way possible. A s a result of this meeting a

provision al alumnre Pan-Hell enic association was formed. Since then one meeting has been held when Mis s Lucy Sprague, Dean of Women at the University of California, spo ke to us on the fra ternity question as she sees it and suggested several ways in which we could help he r. The Pi Phi representatives are Mrs. Charles Derl et h (Emily Bush, Colorado Alpha) and Sue Hiestand.

We should like to have the names of any Pi Phis living near Berkeley , that we may call upon them and interest them in our alumnre association.

BOSTON ALUMN£ CLUB

The Boston Alumnae Club has held a regular meeting every month and some special ones besides. The first meeting in the fall wa s devoted to discussing the interests of the active chapter and how we could best be of help. Ou r next meeting came in the midst of rushing season and we joined with the active chapter in a socia l evening and thus became somewhat acquainted with the girls they were rushing.

We felt that we were not doing enough and wefe n ot livin g up to our ideals by simply having our meetings and enjoying them ourselves , so we appointed a committee to find some work that we could do for others, and our December meeting was spent in making scrap-books containing short stories which wefe greatly enjoyed by the sick shut-ins to whom they were sent.

At ou r March meeting we decided to join the Internati o nal Sun shi ne Society and pass on some of the kindnesses we had received. At one meeting we brought gifts for distribution, but fel t that we wanted to give a little more of ourselves; so at another meeting we came with needles and thimbles and spe nt the afternoon making baby clothes which will be distributed through the Sunshine Society. One of our members who ha s married and lives in another state, when s he heard of our work became so interested that she has organized a circle where she is, and so our work has sp read. We are happier because of it, an d have been d rawn closer together.

We mu st nearly alway s meet "do wn town" in o rder to be most easy of access f or all. The past year we have had some fine meetings. Our June outing was held at Edison Park, the home o f Mrs. A. E. Albright. We had luncheon in the studio and spent a most delightful afternoo n with this genial artist an d hi s wife. The weather was intensely hot but a goodly number were present.

The Thanksgiving meeting wa s held the Friday following Thanksgiving at the T ea Room in Marshall Fiel d's. At thi s mee ting our po stpo ned election o f officers was held , an d the followi ng officers were elect ed : Mrs. W. F. Bridge (Hammond, Ind.), president; Kath arin e B.

Our Founders' Day luncheon was hel d May 1 at the Great Northern Hote). Again we had the most unpropitiou s weather, as it "snowed and blowed " and was altogether unfit for the " balmy month of May." Still there were forty-two who sat do wn to the long table, and after a feast of good things to eat we enjoyed some very good talks and papers on "Things we ought to know about Pi Phi." Leila Soule read a most interesting account of our famou s women . Mary Pollard had prepared a set of questions for all to answer regarding our present grand officers and data about Pi Phi and Mrs. Schantz read an article on the founding o f I. C. We heard a beautiful song from Mrs. R. P. Fish and then joined in a chorus of our own Pi Beta Phi songs with Mabel Parker at the piano. Altogether it was a tiJoroughly enjoyable and profitable meeting. We are flouri shing and tho ugh we cannot meet often we all enjoy the meeting s we can attend .

Our June outing is se t for June 5 on the beach at Evan ston and we are wondering what the weather can have in store for us . We have had so much to contend with thi s year from the elements.

We are glad to welcome visiting Pi Phis at any time, and if they will drop a line to the corresponding secretary, or telephone to Morton Park NO . 9 , sh e will gladly do all in h er powe r to put them in to uch with any Pi Beta Phis in or around Chicago .

Thi s year it was kept to help defray th e expenses o f entertaining the Pan-Hellenic Oub next year.

The Pan-Hellenic Oub in Denver is quite large an d at the banquet this spring more than one hundred members wer e prese nt.

DES MOINES ALUMNJE CLUB

At the clo se of another year the Des Moines Alumn,., Club looks back happily on the delightful meetings held the first Saturday of each month from September to June, inclusive. We followed the custom begun the year previous of grouping three to four member s as hostesses, so that each in her turn served once in that pleasant capacity. Our attendance is always a matter of congratulation, averaging in the neighborhood of twenty-five, where o nly about thirty is po ss ible. In this re spect we are the envy of every sorority in the Pen-Hellenic association, others finding it hardly possible to have a quorum each month. The Pan-Hellenic banquet, held late in the winter, is annually a merrorable occasion, when the faces of so many charming young girls from the near-by colleges and the state university are an added attraction. A round of festivities marked the close of our season. One of our long-time and best-loved members, Mrs. Suel Spaulding, was preparing to leave early in June to make her home in Basin, Wyomin g, so the middle of May we gave a farewell party in her ho nor, at the home of Mrs. Harry Wallace. In t he beautiful language of the ritual we pledged her anew , and then, as a token of love, presented her with a gold eyeglass reel , engraved with the three Greek letters upon the shield. The poem which accompanied the g ift expressed the r egret we all feel at parting with Mrs. Spaulding.

A week later , again at the hospitable Wallace h ome, our PanHellenic s isters joined with us in a picnic supper. Six sororities were repre sented, and while I might tell of the good time, written words would fail to do justice to the spread. The most important bu sine ss transacted was a change in the date of the banquet next year fr om late in January to shortly before Thank sgiving, which

IS In the nature of a temporary expe riment t o see if the earlier date will bring o ut a fuller attendance of out-of-town guests, as well as to avoid the blizzard seaso n , which ha s proved a detriment in pa st winters.

Another week, on June 5 , we t ook the Interurban to Altoona, where we were conveyed on a hayrick to the Crum farm , two .miles sou th of that village , and spe nt a lo ng happy day as guests o f a loyal sister, Mrs. Crum Never did a picnic dinner tas te half so good as that, spread o n long tables un de r the trees, around which were gathered twenty-one people, ravenous with the long ride an d a genuine country appetite

It ha s long been our custom to give dainty comforters of white, tied with the wine and blue, to new arrivals in our circle , and this sp ring two were prese nted, one to Mrs. Hulda SiglerMcCune , for her daughter, Elizab eth, the other to Mrs. Folie Barnett-Miller for Wm E. Miller, Jr.

Mrs Frank Hamilton is president of o ur club now, and the new secretary-treasurer is Mis s Grace Gabriel.

DETROIT ALUMNJE CLU B

The Detroit A1umn", Club is now in its ninth year and has o n its roll nineteen active members and six associate. The as sociate members co nsist o f th ose living in n eighboring towns who perhaps cannot attend all the meetings , though ours have been very faithful indeed. Regular meetings a re held the last Saturday afternoon of each month, except d uring June, July and Augu st, when we have a series of picnics in stead. Our regular meetings are held at the homes of our members and are purely soc ial in nature, with the exception of the short busin ess meeting at the beginning, and the two days given up , o ne to a celebration o f F ounders' Day and one to the con stitution . The average attendance at these meetings is about fifteen. Our chief interest outside of our own organization is of course o ur Michigan Beta chapter at Ann Arbor. We have wo rked hard this year to help them ac complish that which the y have so lo ng desired, the purchase of a chapter hou se in Ann Arbo r. W e are no w rejoicing with them in the possession of the McLaughlin ho me, which ha s been their chapter hou se for the past two years. although it di d n ot bel ong

to them until now. Our club has been only too glad to assist them with advice and also with gifts for their new home .

Our April meeting was very pleasantly turned into an informal tea in honor of Mrs. Soule of Tacoma, Wash., a founder of Pi Beta Phi, who happened to be visiting in the city at that time.

Since our last letter two of our members have been married: Annabel Carey (Michigan Beta, '07) was married Sept. 29, 19oB, to Mr. Joseph Kenan, 1043 E. 60th St ., Chicago, TIL Lenore Smith (Michigan Beta, '04) was married April 7, to Mr . John A Wilson , 2970 N. Grand Boulevard, Detroit. We were sorry to lose in May one of our most enthusiastic members, Mrs. T. L.

FRANKLIN ALUMNJE CLUB

The Franklin Alumna: Club chose the last Saturday night of each month for its time of meeting. As we have about thirty members this year, a committee was appointed to arrange for two members to entertain the club each month.

The alumna: and active chapter gave several entertainments during the year. A party given for the active girls during the spiking season at the home of Clara Suckow proved to be exceptionally enjoyable. The midwinter meeting wa s held at the home of Mrs . Drybread on the anniversary of the founding of Indiana Alpha. The alumna: and active members spent the time studying the constitution. On Feb 26 a very delightful entertainment was given at the Baptist church. Mrs . Grace Pierce BUTT of Indiana

GALESBURG A LUMNJE CLUB

T he Gal esburg Al umn", Association has a member ship o f eighty, incl ud ing forty-five alumn", an d the two active chapters of Illin ois Beta and Illinois Delta .

During the past three years we ha ve held meetings on the first Saturday of each month. Th e active girl s and the alumn", take turn s in ente rtaining the association. It has bee n difficult t o fin d a time convenient for holding the meetings when active girls an d alumnre could meet together. At first ou r meetings were held in the evening; later they were changed to afternoon. This year we have held three meetings, in addition to our annual banquet, for it seems impossible for so many busy peo ple to find time to meet o ftener .

Our meetings have been very pleasant indeed. Part of each meeting we have devoted to the bu s in ess o f the organizati on and a discussion of the affairs of the active chapters. The rest o f the time has been spent e ither in sewing f or o ur room in the Co ttage Ho spital or in c onversation and in music. Li g h t refreshments a r e se rved during the afternoon. The alumn", club ha s had charge o f th e furnishing of a room at th e Galesburg Hospital for seve ral years. Every year th e re are new articles to be bought and made, SO that w e devote one of o ur meetings to sewing . We go prepared to sew and do as much a s pos si ble during the meeting; then mo st of us take a rticl es home to finish. By thi s divisi o n of the work no one is burden ed

Our annual Founders' Day banquet was h eld in the Presbyterian church. A fter a d elici ous dinner w e e n joyed a sho rt program of toasts and o f music .

On May 22 the Indianapolis club entertained informally for our well-known member, Miss Julia Ellen Rogers, of New York. Miss Rogers was in our city . giving a series of nature lectures. During her stay she received many attentions, social and otherwise, and we felt it a privilege to have her with us even for so short a time .

On May 29 some of the memb ers of the club gave a playlet at the home of Mrs. Hervey Fatout. The mothers of the members were the guests.

A bridge club has been organized among our members. This club will meet every two weeks.

INDIA NOLA ALUMNJE CLUB

We have had very intere sti ng meetings of the alumn", thi s year , although they have been somewhat irregular on account of sickness. We have met with the active chapter several times in cooky shines and receptions. On Founders' Day the freshman girls gave their "stunt" followed by a cooky shine at the horne of Mrs. J. H. Hender so n. At our February meeting, which came just a few days a ft e r pledge day , we entertained the pledges an d became acquainted with them as Pi Phis Our business meetin g was held late r in the spring and at that time we elected as officers Mrs. F. C. Sigler, president; Mrs. S. Arthur Krell, vic e-president; and Mabel Brown, secretary.

During the year we have enjoyed visits from several of our girls, Katherine Mille r , Eloise Fin ley, Eva Anderson-Hatfield, Lula Hohanshelt-Newton, and Bernice Halley-Forrest , being amo ng the number. No w we are looking forward to the return of t he girls for commencement week.

IOWA CITY ALUMNJE CLUB

The work of the Iowa City Alumnre Club of Pi Beta Phi has been limited this year entirely to giving aid to the active chapter at the State University of Iowa and we have had no other regular meetings. We have rented a fine chapter house for next year , which we will sublet to the active girls. We have had a finance committee to audit the house accounts monthly; we have supported the girls in a recent move in the Pan-Hellenic Association; and we have met with th e active cha pter at the Founders' Day banquet and at the annual alumnre breakfast of commencement week. T his I believe is the sum total of our work for the year.

KANSAS CITY ALUMNJE CLUB

The past year has been a busy but not especially event!'ul one for the Kansas City Alumnre Club. In pursuance of the plan instituted in January, 19oB, each meeting ha s been a buffet luncheon held at the home of one of the member s. After luncheon we held business meetings and sewed on garments which were given to some charitable institution.

Three events of more than usual importance occurred during the year The first was the annual Thanksgiving banquet, which was given on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving at the Hotel Baltimore. Mrs. Virgil Tuggle, alumnre president , was toast-mistress and various alumnae and active members to toasts . This year's banquet was very successful and wa s well attended by girls from the active chapt e rs at Kan sas and Mis souri state universities.

The cooky shine given during the Chri stmas holidays was the second important event. This is always an especially e nj o yabl e occasion, since it is very informal and the alumnae and s chool girls can become better acquainted than at the formal banqu et. We learn what the active chapters are doin g an d they learn something of our plans and purposes

REPORTS OF ALUMNlE CLUBS 321

Tbe third event of the year was tbe Founders' Day celebration. This, as usual, took the fonn of a cooky shine and was purely an alumore "stunt." We had a very jolly time and nO one, not even our oldest alumna, was too dignified to sit on the 600r after the approved Pi Phi cooky-shine manner.

A happening of importance to the local Greeks has been the organization of the Women's Pan-Hellenic Association . The membership is limited to those who belong to a national Greekletter fraternity. The first meeting, a breakfast, was held in May. Mrs. Thornton Cooke, Pi Beta Phi, was toast-mistress, and about twenty Pi Phis attended. At present the a s sociation plans to meet annually.

Several new members have joined the alumn., club an d we have lost a few old members. One of our members, Miss France s Shryock, wa s married in October to Mr. John Craig of St. Louis; two alumn"" Miss Plank and Mrs. Faeth, are abroad; and several other s have moved away. However. the majority remain s the same and since new people are always coming in we do not los e in numbe r s.

As we look back over the year we see no startling changes . We have had a pleasant and busy but not a particularly strenuou s time. For the future we are more ambitiou s and are planning to be very industrious. We expect a number of new girls to join in the fall and we hope to start the new year with increased member ship and enthusiasm .

LAWRENCE ALUMNiE CLUB

The Lawrence Alumn", Club held six meetings during the year. The number present and intere st mani fe . ted proved that the club is very much alive .

In November a tea was given in compliment to our chaperon . The number of guests was limited to one hundred.

A banquet was planned for the active girls in celebratio n o f Foun de r s ' Day , but had to be given up on acco unt of conflictin g date s , a o;; the spring parties came just at that time , and we were anxiou s to coincid e with university rule s in re gard to mid-w ee k fun c ti o n s.

We have endeavored to see as much of the active chapter as possible, and to le t t hem feel our intere st in the fraternity life.

Meetings have been held on the fir st Saturday o f each month. During the Christmas vacation the club entertained at cards those members o f the active chapter who remained in Ma d ison. Founders' Day was delightfully celebrated May fir st, in spite of the fact that it was necessary to forego May-day clothes and plow through the snow. A luncheon wa s given in the Woman's Building, and to thi s the active girls and all Pi Phi s in neighboring t own s were invited. Our last meeting was held June s.

that the same line of work was foll owed this year. At two of the meetings we made bandage s for the visiting nur ses of the As sociated Charities.

On the 17th of December we gave a Christmas party, and invited th e active chapter and all Twin City alumn",. A Christmas tree and an exchange of presents provided ente rtainment , an d the active chapter wa s s urpri sed with a piece of mission furniture for the room. The party was so well attended and every one had s uch a jolly time that we decided to make it an annual affair.

In April we gave a play and vaudeville entertainment, alumnce appearing in clever stunts, to the evident enjoyme nt of the active girls . The proceed s went to help pay expenses for the year.

LOUISIANA ALPHA ALUMNA': CLUB OF NEW ORLEANS

Our alumna! as a whole have been rather quiet this year. According to the new Pan-Hellenic Tules, until the sophomo re year no o ne can be initiated o r invited to membership and no official entertaining or rushing done. We cou ld work on ly individually.

The alumm" had all the ARROWS bound for the chapter and shared the expense of a piano for the chapter room The chapter contributes to the Newcomb Free Night School and a large number of the a lumn", do v o lunteer work. The principal is a Pi Phi and so me of the active girls take part in the wo rk also.

The alumm" had five weddings among their number: Lily Me ad Po st ( Mrs. Wyatt Lugram) ; Lau re Beaure gard (Mrs .

results of the new methods-and Loui si ana Alpha is very hopeful !

NEW YORK ALUMNJE CL U B

T he New York Alumn", Clu b has ju st co mpleted a most s uccessful yea r . The me etings have bee n more largely attended and more intere st ha s been sho wn in them than usual. W e feel thi s is th e re sult of de fi nite wor k. Last year, for the fir st tim e, th ere was a calling committee an d those wh o served o n it did splendid wo rk. Manhattan w as thoroughly go ne o ver an d e very one looked up . As a res ult we found t hat a number ha d moved elsewhere in the city-and t hese were traced by di r ectory, tel ephone book and much street walking, t o say nothin g o f e ncou nt ers with excitable ja ni to r s-and that still more had moved seve ral thousand mile s away! It wa s a real com f ort to learn that it wa s not lack of interest whi ch had kept th ese from r espond in g to the notice s!

In all this work Mrs. Thei ss has been invaluable fo r sh e know s e ve ryone in the frat e rnity and ca n g ive one maiden name s, perman e nt add r esses , etc ., o ff-han d. The club reciprocates by finding ne w ARROW subscribers for he r Indeed , the best part of thi s mi ss io na ry wo rk is the result which comes from s uch an int ervi ew with a st ranger: UNo, I ha ve n't see n a Pi Phi f o r year s ... . li t tl e ch ildre n . yo u know . . . . Meetings every mon th? Why. I gues s I could come, n ow. but I'm ashamed t o go to a meeting, I k now so li tt le of th e frate rnity D o se nd me the ARROW ri g ht away!" We advise each club to mak e a th o rou g h canvass of their c it y; it pay s.

The second poli cy in th e club from which we already see good result s is the printed program. Thi s sp ring wi th the banquet invita tions a neat card was sent out giving the date, pla ce and prog r am for a ll the meet in gs o f 1<)09. At the Match meeting, which was hel d at the home o f Mr s Lougb (Beth Shepard), o f ' Viscons in A lpha.

At the May meeting held with t he Misses Elmina and Aida Wil son of Iowa Gamma, Elizabeth Wylie of Michigan Beta tol d o f her work and of the

scope of story telling in the schools, with some delightful illustrative examples.

The club feels quite important f or, besides printed programs we now have printed postals to remind the forgetful of meetings, and the invitations to the banquet were engraved.

The club has enjoyed three social events. Mrs. Springer (Gertrude Hill) , Kansas Alpha, who was th e n president, invited the club to her home to meet the Grand Council la st fall. A goodly number were pre se nt and the. privilege of meeting our Grand Council was mu ch appreciated by all, as was the ho spitality of Mrs. Springer, which has so often been extended to the club.

At the January meeting officers were elected and many of the inn ovations mentioned above are due to the new president. Julia E. R oge rs . Iowa Zeta was made pre side nt ; Mr s . Kenton Harmon (Rosina Hayman), Mis souri Alpha, vice-president; and Sophie P. Woodman , New York B eta , secretary and treasurer. Thi s meeting was held with Mr s . Williamson (Nadine Hartshorn), California Alpha. A very successful cooky shine fo ll owed the meeting, fo rty being present. T o thi s the active chapte r was invited.

The Founders' Day luncheon was held, with the active chapter, at the St Denis Hotel on April '7 and wa s the mo st stlccessful the club has eve r held. Sixty-two were present and as New York Beta had their initiation just before the banquet there wa s plent y of effervesci ng enthusiasm! Miss R oge r s presided and toa sts were given by Mrs. Theiss, Penn sylvania Beta, Mrs. Winifred Harpe r-Cooley, California Alpha , Mrs. Farnsworth , Colorado Alpha , Mis s Amalie Althaus, New York Beta and by Anna Holm and Alta Anderson of the active c hapter. Eighteen chapters were represented , ranging from Massachusetts to Calif ornia and fr om Wisconsin to Louisiana. We were glad to have with us Miss Rosa Moore, one of the found e r s of the frat ern ity , who is an honora ry member of the club.

On our card catalogue are one hundred and sixty names of Pi Phis living within seventy-fiv e miles of New York City and we have not reached them all yet. We do wish that all Pi Phis who visit in New York, and of whose presence we hear months after they have left, would kindly communicate with the secretary,

who has a telephone. The meetings held on the fir st Saturday of the month and next fall will be as follows: Oct. 2 with New York Beta; Nov. 6 with Mrs. Priddy (Bessie Noyes), Massachusetts Alpha, 530 Bedford Ave ., Brooklyn ; Dec. 4 with Mrs. Luella Vance-Phillip s, Nebraska Alpha, 647 Madison Ave., City.

OMAHA AND COUNCIL BLUFFS ALUMN..£ CLUB

OUT work us ually dates from the summe r rushing seaso n, for that is pretty st r e nuou s here. H owever, in this way we try to be of benefi t to neighboring chapters, particularly to Nebraska Beta and Iowa Zeta. Last yea r the alumn", club assisted in seve ral summer function s which the active girl s gave. A lun cheon was also given at Lake Manawa, a recital and reception at one of the homes in Omaha, and a large picnic. These are all a part of the "summer rush."

In September , when the active girls and "rushees" ha d left for college, we began our regular monthly meetings . These had always been cooky shines, but this fall a change was suggested, and by dividing the club into groups of four the mode of e ntertainment wa s left entirely to the hostesses. At the meeting just before the holiday s it was s uggested that open house to all college folk be held o n New Year's day As the time remaining was too short to develop the affair successfully, it was postponed, th ough we hope to carry out the idea thi s year.

The larges t of ou r functions was the banquet in celebration of Founders' Day. This was held at Hudson's Cafe on April 15. Several of th e active girls of Nebraska Beta were present and in all twenty-seven plates were laid. The table in the banquet room was decorated with an immense centerpiece of wine carnations and the place cards were made by one of our number. A very enjoyable toast li st fo llowed with Mrs. Brooks, our president, acting as toast-mistress.

We have been glad to welcome se veral new members the past winter: Mrs. George Johnston (Lois Burruss of Nebraska Beta), Mrs. N uel se n (Luella Stroeter, Colorado Beta) , and Cordelia Willard of Illinois Delta . Our last meeting this spring was a

Undoubtedly the summer work thi s year will be les se ned consid erab ly because of the few left in the city. Mr s.

O ne or two wellappointed affairs, however , will be given in cooperation with the active girls; and the real alumnre work will be po stponed until fall.

SYRACUSE ALUMNJE CLUB

So far this year we have held eight een meetings. The last meeting before the close o f college we invite the sen io r delega ti on to meet with u s to discuss plans for the com ing year. La st year the buying of a hou se was discussed and secretaries for each class appointed with a member of our club as chairman of this large committee. After looking into the matter thoroughly the committ ee advised a postponement of the contemplated purchase and the direction o f OU f efforts to increas ing the hou se fund's total. If the out-<>f-town alumnre would do their part the burd e n put upon the town alumnre wou ld be greatly lesse ned.

During the yea r we discussed the constitution and the best means of helping the active chapter. As our member ship includes seve ral fine musicians the after-part of our meetings has been particularly enjoyable. Two of the alumnre try to attend the chapter meeting each week and one alumna is on the house committ ee . We are fond of cooky shine s and entertain the different classes during the year. Once or twice a year active and alumnre girls join forces in shines no t to be forgotten. At Christmas time we gave silve r to the house and whenever anything is especially needed we give a shower. To one of our girls, who is now a missionary in China. we sent a sum of money f or her work. Ju st before Easter vacation we give a r eceptio n and a dinner, invitation s to which are sent to all New York Alpha alumnre. This year the reception was held at the home o f Leora Sherwood -Gray and the dinner at Mabel Smith-Taylor's. The active girls were invited to the reception and nearly fort y attended the dinner. For next year we have in mind a plan which we hope will enable us to reach all the Pi Phi s in the state. We gave a kitchen showe r to Laura Single, who was married

on F o unders' Day. Attendance at the wedding was our celebration for the day.

In May the Syracllse University Alumnre Club gave a vaudeville show. At this exclusive ly feminin e affair each soro rity furnished at least one number on the program.

The year just closed has been rather a quiet one-quiet at lea st in the sense of having brought no change from the usual course of events , and yet it is a plea sure to look back and try to tell what we have done.

Our principal intere st ha s been as always the support of the active chapter. The rushing season la st fall was unusually strenuous, and the alumnre helped in every way possible. An afternoon reception was given by th e c1l1b , with Mis s Keller as the guest of h onor, and seve ral s maller affairs were given by th' individual girls. Besides these distinctly alumnc:e affairs, anum ber of the girls were present at th e chapter rushing parties. A. a re s ult of having gained thi s acquaintance with the new girls . we could enter heart and soul into the rejoicing of Columbia Alpha over the splend id girls they won for Pi Beta Phi. The alumnre feel that they can not be too proud o f the hi g h sta ndard of the chapter thi s year.

Our meetings have been held monthly , business meetings in the fraternity room in the Woman 's Huilding, and soci al meetings at the home s o f Margaret Bayly, Edna Stone, and Adele Taylor. Th e most enjoyable affair of the year. to active and alumnre girls alike , was ollr annual Founders' Day banquet at the Tea Cup Inn. lt had a s tro nger ' intere st than ever this year, in being the celebration n ot o nl y of the nation a l found ing , but also o f the twentieth year o f the existence of Columbia Alpha. It was good t o stop for one night in ou r lives to think of all we owe to Pi Beta Phi. and to our own chapter.

The May meeting was devoted to elections, and resulted in the reelection of the former officers, with the exception of the sec retary, Frances Bethune-Melby , who has left town since her

COLLEGE

WOMEN IN EUROPE

A TALK GIVEN TO THE NEW YORK ALUMNA': CLUB

Last year it was my good fo rtune to spend three months in visiting schools and colleges in Germany, France, and England. I wish to tell you of the finest Germa n sc hool for women that we saw; the best in Paris; and to speak of the London, Oxford, and Cambridge colleges for wome n.

Lette Haus ,' in Berlin, wa s f o unded in 1866 by Frau Lette, a wealthy, philanthropic woman who wished to provide a course of study to help girls w ho must earn their living. The school is ho u sed in a fine s to ne building on the beautiful Luisen-Platz, near the center of Berlin. The building is distinctive in that it is built around a triangular court, and is six storie s highwhich is very high for Berlil),-and the upper floor s seem to be built entirely o f g la ss . N ine hun dred students attend this school, six hundred of them living in the building.

Of the four departments the first is the Commercial, which requires twent y-nine hours of class room work a week. The subjec t s taught are Handwriting; Stenography; Typewriting; A rithm etic; Bookkeeping, including Fore ign Exchange; German co rrespo nd e nce; French and English conversation and corre spo ndence ; Ger man literature, grammar and geography. The head of thi s department spoke English beautifully, and we were impressed by the fact that each graduate must be able to take notes and typewrite ju st as rea dily in French and Engli sh as in h er own language. We sa w students taking Engli sh dictation on machines , and so could judge of the exce llen ce o f this part o f the work.

The second department is for h ousekeepers,-those who wish to co nduct th eir own h ou se holds sc ientifically , those who eY'lCct to take up in stituti o nal housekeeping, or to teach, or to "De ';eTvants. Twenty subjects are taught,-nine in sewing of difso rt s. fr om tailoring to embroidery and millinery. Other subjocts are Cooking, the Planning and Ordering of Meals; the ,C b em ist r y of Cook ing; the Laundry, by hand and with .. illL O1aehines; Fir st Aid to the Injured; Gardening; and when I ' asked "Frisiren" meant, I l earned that there was a

course 10 manicuring and shampooing. We saw a cla ss of servant girls being taught how to black boots.

These courses last fr om one month to two years and cost from s ix to one hundred and twenty marks a course. The average cost is four hundred marks a year for eight courses. The living in the dormitory costs from sixty - five (for those taking the course for servants) to ninety marks a year.

We were delighted with the close connection between the studies of this department and the living. The Domestic Science s tudents take charge, turn by turn, of the dormitory, table, and accounts, and the cleaning of the hou se; and under the supervi sio n of a teacher they even ove r see the de tails of individual orderliness, examining the bureau drawers of the stu de nts regularly.

The students live in th e dormitory, eig ht in a room We found that there were but three baths f or sixty-four st udents We were shown the menu for the week, and thi s is typical for one day:

I. Coffee a nd white bread, butter and marmalade, se rv ed from 6 :30 to 8.

2. Second breakfast at II, bread and butter.

3. Dinner at I , so up , roast and two vegetables.

4. Afternoon coffee and white bread.

S. At 7, tea o r beer. brown bread o r a warm mixed dish

A lso the rules of Lette Haus intere sted us. Windows must be ope n while students are at breakfast; no spirit cooking is allowed in the dormitory. After 10, quiet is enforced; li ghts mu st be Ollt at 10 :30. One mark a month is charged for light. No one may use the piano in the reception room for mo re than a half hour at one time , and not at all between I and 3, o r after 10. Ten pfennigs is charged for all coming in after 8 ; permission must have been granted before 11 A.M.; after I [ P.M. a second charge of ten pfennigs is made.

To return to the departments: The third is Book-binding, and the fOllrth, Photography. The latter is the most important department in th e scbool, and is the be s t cOllrse in photography that we have seen offered. Seventy r ooms are given up to this work. In this department the teachers are men. The students

COLLEGE WOMEN IN EUROPE 335

are taught to take photograph s fo r magazine and book illustrations ; to take portraits; to make lantern slides; to make technical slides for medical purposes. They also learn how to make the various kinds of printing paper and sl ides , to reto uch negatives and to enlarge.

In Paris we visited the fine st normal school for teacher s of teachers, of high rank, at Fontenay-aux-Roses. This school was founded twenty-six years ago as a private venture , but is now supported by the French government. Four large buildings are built around a very beautiful garden. There is no special fitness , according to ou r ideas, in the buildings themseives ,but th e adjustable desks and laboratory equipment are modern. Girl st udents entering this school mu st be eighteen. They are paid all expenses , and given an allowance to enable them to attend lec tures and concerts in Paris. They are paid for their practice teaching in the Paris schools two weeks each in the se nior year. We were made very conscious of the government examinations, that everyone mu s t pa ss. There is no appointing to a position save by taking these examinations.

The women teachers of Fontenay-aux-Roses are really tutors, having the most intimate and friendly relations with the students. The lectures are given by profe sso rs from the Sorbonne, and other Parisian in s titutions.

The regular courses are those in Science and Literature, but there is great eagerness to take extra courses, s uch as Cooking, Music, Physical Training and Art, becau se the special teacher receives a larger salary Fifteen girls out of eighty were taking the Cooking course la st year.

The food in this French sc hool corresponds with what we have in America more than does that in the German school. They have three meals ,-

I. Coffee, bread, butter and jam.

2 Soup, roast with vegetable s, fowl, with salad, and some pastry or sweet.

3. Bread and butter, rice pudding or prunes, and the ordinary red wine to drink.

There seem to be no rule s here no r hour for retiring, though . f course the students never leave the grounds without the proper permission and chaperon .

THE ARROW

In England we visited Bedford, Westfiel d and Royal Holloway colleges, belonging to the Univers ity of London, and Somervi ll e, Lady Margaret, St. Hughes, an d St. Hilda's at Ox fo rd, Newnham and Girton at Camb ri dge. Bedfo rd is th e o llly one right ill the city o f Londoll, and ju st for th e pres e nt it is hou sed in an old building The lady princ ipal is a Cambridge graduate with a Dub li n degree. Cambridge does no t yet give a degree to women, so I found several o f the wome n professors hol d ing the Dublin degree. What impressed me at Bedfo rd was the number of soc ieti es,-eighteen. Among them clubs for debating, dramatics, science, and fen c ing, hockey, sketc hing, bathing, swimm ing and tennis. The st uden ts take part in the se sports at least three afternoons a week , and the least time that eac h girl in Bedford is out-of-doo r s playing is six hours a week . T hi s made me realize the English love o f athletics.

At Somervi ll e a swimming te st o f fifty feet is required of each student before she is allowed in a boat. The lady principal there to ld me that her g irls s p end two hours a day out-of - doo r s, three or four days a week,-often six. Again at Royal H olloway the emphasis is laid on s wimming ,-bath ho use s being upon the Thames . At Newnham I asked one o f the tea c hers how they manage to get all th e recitation and lecture work into th e morning, and s he replied, with somewhat o f a s igh, " We can persuade the girl s to stay in for laboratory work only two hours one afte rn oon a week,-the re s t o f the time they a re outof-doors ." Of course I was not vi siting these women's colleges at an exam in ation time. Then we know that the st udents grind fo r days .

R oyal Holloway was the most luxurious co ll ege that we visited. It is at Egham, in the Surrey country. an ho ur's journey from L o ndon , and was founded by Mr. Holloway,famou s for his pill s. We co n stantly thought of Wellesley. though th e ample and beautiful gro und s, a nd la rge. ha n dso me buildings were on a more palatial sca le than those at Welle sley. At H o lloway each student ha s two rooms , a sleeping room and a study opposite. They are luxuriously furni s hed with a combin ation desk and book case and two large easy chairS! rn addi Q t io n to what we find in our best college dormitories in th e United

States. The heat is by open fireplace. Their special laundry house, the power house, the extensive gardens, the beautiful art collection left by Mr. Holloway , and the chapel give an impression of wealth and culture.

As the head of this college took the work at Royal Holloway as a student, and then became an instructor, s he is heartil y in sympathy with the students' attitude, an d seems lik e o ne of them. is in force to a certain ex tent here.

In the matter of meal s the Engli sh girl see m s t o be as far ahead of other nationalities as she is in the matter of athletics . The following is the menu for one day at Westfield College, and this is typical of the other colleges :

8 :30, Breakfast, one hot di sh (po rridge, baco n , or eggs), cold ham, butter, bread, toa st. marmalade .

11 :00, Milk , hot or cold, and g ingerbrea d .

I :00, Lunc heon, hot joint, cold joint, made-up dish ( three varieties), cold stewed fruit , bread , butter, cheese, and milk , fo ur or fiv e so rt s of puddings, hot or cold.

3 :IS , Tea, bread, butter, tea.

6 :30, Dinner , three courses, vege table s . and two joint s. 8 :30, Tea, cocoa and milk , bread and butter. Those who by any chance are out fo r dinner are provided with a supper tray.

In s umming up the se visits to colleges: From the Berlin school we certainly ca n lea rn pra ct ical , thorough preparation for woman' s work in the home , sc hool. and business. One meets this kind of preparation in all walk s of life in Germany. It is made possible beca use of the constant supervision an d paternal education and government fo r the people.

In t he Fren ch school s described we wer e made aware of the admini s trative system carried o n by the government. We admired the mu ch done for the stu dents. and yet there is no special thought in all these exa mination s as to whether th ey a re particularly fitt ed for wom e n o r not.

In Engl . n ri the ind ivi d ual life of th e st udent comes t o the fore . In thinking of the wa y a d ay is spe nt , I am impressed by th e e nj oyme nt in it. There is not so much the thought of

THE ARROW

work to be prepared for to-morrow 's recitation as of so much time to be spent out-of-doors, and in having leisure for the afternoon tea. O f course they have their examinations in England, and the regular work goes on quietly. Credit is given for the se examinations rather than for the number of recitations attended.

In general I might say that popuJar education fOT women is no t so far advanced as with u s. The girls are segregated, and a woman does not have the opportunity to u se her education as do we, i.e. , a w om an teache r can hold office o nly in a girls' school. AU boys' schools are taught by men , as are also many girls' school s . Then again, the English college girl does not teach in the London County Council schools (co rresponding to ou r public schools) ; there are special training coUeges for those teachers The college girl can teach only in private schools or in colleges, unle ss sh e wishes to enter a city training college, in which she would find her self out of her class.

On the other hand , we may co ntrast the influence of women in politics. Ou r English neigh bo r is far in advance of u s in her interest in rights and property matters, loca l con tr ol, and school questions. She takes much more interest in these public questions than do we

Though Europe has been slower in granting high e r educati on to w omen, it is working out an educat ion for their needs, especially fo r those in the poorer classes. L ette Haus and the Polytechnic Institut e in London are examp les o f this.

European women do not receive an academic training equal to that of th eir men, but the y do have a practical training. The industrial schools in Belgium and th ose in Wiirtemberg are sple ndi d examples which we might well heed. Is it not a fault of our education for women that in trying to get pure culture work by copying men's education we have made our education impractical? Th e problem is to combine the practical courses of th e German schools with the culture o f the h igher class English schools. I hav e put it all in one sentence for myself, and I am saying to all st ud ent s with whom I come in contact, "Let u s choose the practical stud ies of the German schools, believing in their value, and like the English l et us enjoy out-of-doors as we go along.

THE VALUE OF GIRLS' FRATERNITIES

By y BaTOL PH D From Tk.Ladin' HOfM. JotW"Ml1or May, 1tOl1

The continued prosperity of women's college fraternities throughout the four decades of their existence and their flourishing condition to-day are in large measure due to the fact that from the day of their inception these societies have played a useful part in the college world. Their establishment was coincident with the beginning of the higher education of women. Although a few women were allowed to enter college before 1840 it was not until the "70'S" that they were generally admitted. The feeling against them on the part of faculties and student bodies alike was bitter. To this opposition is directly due the rise of women 's fraternitie s, for the women naturally banded themselves together for protection. In consequence, one third of the fraternities now in existence were established within three years of the opening to women of the State universities. Since then their growth has been both rapid and natural. To-day the women's fraternities are firmly established in ninety-five colleges. They have a combined membership of thirty- two thousand women , with an active membership of forty - five hundred. Many of the fraternities are legally in corporated and own th ousands of dollar s' worth of property.

One objection urged is that they are harmful becau se of their organization. But are not the college y.W.C.A. and the glee club also well o rganized? Fraternity o rganization could be harmful to the college only if it were inimical to the college.

The charge that fraternities are inimical to the college is largely due to the feeling apparent among college presidents that any organization whose government they cannot themselves control must be ho stile to them and their policies. As a matter of fact, the truth is just the contrary. Were the fraternities antagonistic to the aut\.lorities they would lose the esteem of the best class of students from whom they wish to draw their members. Furthermore, eve ry fraternity desires to stand well with the authorities. Hence, the governing body of each fraternity -this discussion is confined to national f ratemities with alumnae governing boards-would allow no act on the part of undergraduates that wou l d call forth the host ilit y o f th e faculty.

As a matter of fact , the nati o nal fraternitie s work with the

THE ARROW

college authorities . Some years ago the twelve leading national fraternitie s organized the Woman's Nat ional Pan-Hellenic Conferen ce . In colleges where there are two or more 'national fraternities thi s body established Pan-Hellenic Associations to regu late " ru s hing," fix a "pledge day." remedy alleged <!-buses, and cooperate with the college authorities and with other co llege organizations in matters of college interest. Furthermore, the con f erence it self met with the deans of the coeducational colleges, cooperating with them in prescribing social regulations affecting dormitory and chapter-hou se life; and these r egulations the fraternities now compe l their members to observe. Thu s the very organization alleged to be inimical is a potent assistance to the co ll ege authorities

Another reason advanced as an ob jecti on to fraternitie s is that they are secret societies . The co n stitutions of fratern ities show high ideals, both social and ethical. The secrets are purely nominal, consisting o nly of a motto, a grip , a ritual o f ini tiation, and a const itution. O n the ot her hand, fraternity members wear conspicuous badges; the fratern ities publish magazines which they exchange with one anot her ; they have song books; they issue catalogues gi ving detailed in formation about their members, and upon reque st they shoy; their cons titutions to college faculties.

It is further a rgu ed again st fraternities that they are exclusive, that they are undemocratic , and that they fost e r s nobbi shness . Naturally, the fraternity is exclu si ve , becau se it is built upon the foundation of congeniality. \'1ere it to take in un congenial person s the very advantage s it aims at would be dest r oyed. But if it is to be condem ned because it brin gs together those who are ag r eeable to one another and keeps out the disag reeable, then the church is likewise open to criticism for admittiqg to membership only those whose beliefs are sim ilar The same separation from others exists in the family. Just as the members o f the family learn from such association love al) d mutl!aI and gain inspiration for their work in the world, SO the fraternity girl draws from association with her fraterl1ity siste rs-for by virtue of their very exclusiveness they are womer of kindred str ength and wisdom for work in the coUege world.

THE VALUE OF GIRLS' FRATERNiTIES 34'

The charge that fraternity members are not democratic probably grows out of the fact that members of the same fraternity are seen so much together. Yet why should one elect to join a fraternity if one does not prefer to associate with the members of that fraternity? The fraternity woman does not refuse to associate with non-fraternity women; it is more often they who refuse to associate with the fraternity wome n , lest it be thought that in such association they have some ulterior design.

The charge t h at the fraternity fosters snobbishness is palpably false. There are snobs in the fraternities, just as Ihere are snobs outside of the fraternities; but they do not go unreproved by the fraternities. Fraternity women feel t hat they must be of influence in the college community, and they can secure influence only by being really democratic. The fraternity is not interested in classes; it is interested in ideals. It looks for persons of simila r ideals and aims, and it picks them from whatever class it finds them. In consequence the wealthy girl is found side by side in the fraternity with the girl who is earning her ed ucati on. In fact, instead of being undemocratic, the fraternity is more democratic than the college which condemns it.

Again, it is claimed that fraternities emphasize the social rather than the scholastic side of college life . This is an evil that the fraternities themselve s recognize and that the governing body of each fraternity is s triving to remedy. But it is not true that fraternitie s emphasize the social side of college life to the exclusion of the scholasticside. Fraternities seek in every way possible to improve scholarship. Instead of saying, "How poor the scholarship of these girls is," it would be more to the point to ask, '·How much poorer would it have been had it not been for the fraternity? " One fraternity, Pi Beta Phi, has a scholarship committee in each of its thirty-nine chapters. Each committee is respo ns ible to the fraternity for the scholarship of the chapter . Once every year an official of the fraternity visits each chapter, inspects all chapter records, confers with the nean of each college, and tries to learn accurately how the chapter stands in matters of scholarship and general conduct. Whenever the scholarship of any chapter becomes low the governing body of the fraternity is swift and certain in its show of disapproval.

THE ARROW

Besides attemp ting to compel their members to be good students the fraterniti es also stimulate their sc hola s tic ambitions by the offer of prizes and material assistance. Alumn., associat ions of Alpha Phi maintain a loan fund for the benefit of their m em ber s at Boston University, a nd scho lar ships for th eir girls at Syracuse and the Woman's College of Baltimore. At the University of Wisconsin the Alpha Phi alumn., provided a s ilver loving-cup which is held eac h year by the freshman member of the chapter who makes the best grades. A lumn., associations of Pi Beta Phi maintain a scho larship at Kansas U niversity and a loan fund at Swarthmore. Kappa Kappa Gamma at the University of Pennsylvania gives an annual prize for excellence in biol ogy; the same fraternity and Kappa Alpha Th eta have established funds which are eve ntually to be converted into scholarship s f or their member s. And several years ago Pi Beta Phi established for it s m ember s one graduate and two undergraduate fellow sh ip s.

Having exam in ed some of the alleged disadvantages of the fraternity about which its oppone nt s are continually talking, let u s examine some of its advantages about which it s opponents say nothing.

To begin with , the college it self is benefited by the fraternity . Many colleges have no dormitories for women . The fraternity step s in and provides homes for it s members. In these homes. pres id ed over by women of ability and character, the girls are as su re of love , sympathy and friendship as they would be in their own home s . The non-fraternity girl must live in a boarding-h ouse . "Roomin g houses are a poor substitute for home life," sa id the Dean of Women of the University of Michigan recently , in discussing thi s very topic. "There is a great deal said against fraternities, and some of it is justified. Under proper control, h o wever , the fraternities offer the best solution of one of the most difficult problems that is presented in our work."

"Under proper contro\1t s ugge sts another way in which the fraternity aids the college. Strong-minded alumn., stand at th e head of each national fraternity. Jealous o f the good name o f their fraternities. these women are quick to punish offenders. Thu s the fraternity g-irl. upheld in right living by association

THE VALUE OF GIRLS' FRATERNITIES 343

and discipline, is controlled more easily than the non-fraternity girl who lives by h erse lf in a boarding-house. Just as the fraternity girl is impell ed to proper conduct by her fraternity, so she is urged to exert all her talents. The college is the gainer. Such ambitious workers in the varied fields of college activities add to the internal prosperity of the college.

Nor can one do gratuitous work along any line without becoming interested in the wo rk and what it repre se nt s. And because proportionately more fraternity gi rl s are interested in co llege activities than non-fraternity women, it follows that the interest of fraternity women in their co ll ege is deeper than the in teres t of non-fraternity women.

That this is so is show n by the continued interest in the college displayed by the fraternity alumn",. The fraternity magazines, furnished to the at a trifle more than cost , and the annual chapter letters, keep the alumna! in consta nt touch with college and fraternity doings and d raw them back to Commencement. The genuine interest felt by fraternity women in their colleges is shown by their gi ft s of prizes, scholarships , endowments and bequest s .

The greate .; t benefit from the fraternit y, however , is derived by its members. In the first place they have a home, with all its beneficent influen ces. They have true friends and strong associates from whom come sympathy, encouragement, inspiration or reproof, as the occasion demands . The value of such a home to a freshman can no t be overestimated, and the mother of such a girl should be gratefu l indeed if her daughter has the good fortune to become a fraternity woman.

Another material be nefit accrui ng to the fraternity gi rl is the ass istance of the various prize s and aids already menti oned . To the poor girl they arc a gOdsend . They are yet few in number, but that is because they r epresent a new phase of fraternity life.

Aga in, the fraternity is of aid in helping the g ra duate to get a foothold in the wo rld Frequently the help o f her fraternity sis ter e nabl es a woman to secure a position that she could no t ot herwi se obtain . Furthermore , the various alumnre clubs in sure plea s ure for a girl in a strange city . And membership

THE ARRO W

in a national Greek-letter society gives one a recognized sta nding among college women everywhere.

Most important of all the benefits received from the ·fraternity , however, is the development of strength of character. In a fraternity house the . girls take turns in being steward. Thus they gai n a training in business management and the conduct of a honse Frequent social functions and the oppo rtunity to play h o stess give the fr a t ern ity girl a soci al finish and assurance greatly to be desired. Contact with sisters from other colleges widens her outl ook. The constant spur and incentive to achievement bring out undeveloped and unsuspected qualItie s Self-c o nfidence , self-control and self-sacrifice are all d e vel o ped th e reb y. A memory for faces and an ability to read character, u suall y so woefully lacking in women , 3Te cultivated by "ru shing"; and intimate association with a number of othe rs, tog ether with a necessary interest in their affairs, broadens the mind, makes the heart kinder , and the judgment more charitable. F raternitie s , however, are human, and SO are n o t infallible. Every fraternity makes mistakes; every fraternity has at times unde s irable members; and eve ry frat ern ity fails at times to take in girls who s h ou ld be taken in. But is a perSOll , or an organizati o n that is good in the main, to be condemned for a few fanlts?

In reality fraternities are not judged fairly. Combined political actio n on the part of non-fraternity student s is adjudged all right; on the part of fraternities it is called pernicious. If a non-fraternity girl goe s wrong it is her own fault. If a fraternit)" girl errs he r error is laid at tire fraternity's door. It is charged that a fraternity give s it s members unfair advantage s ove r non-fraternity girls. If a fraternity is to be condemned f o r giving its members a dvantages then the college should be cond e mned for giving its students advantages over non-college women. The fraternities are ever looking for strong women. Let a girl develop herself until she is one to be reckoned withuntil she is ripe for fraternity membership-and sh e will probably become a fraternity woman. The fraternitie s take in most of those students who show potential s trength upon entrance , or who develop strength during their college lif e. or whom they feel they can develop into strong women.

THE VALUE OF GIRLS' FRATERNITIES 345

The supreme test of the fraternity is the effect its influence ha s upon the lives of its members Balance the fraternity woman against the non-fraternity w oman, in the college, the office or the home, and the scale will tip on the side of the fo nner. Could there be a stronger argument in favor of fraternjties?

AMANA, THE COMMUNITY OF TRUE INSPIRATION

BY BERTHA M. HORACK-SHAMBAUGH OF IOWA ZETA

In Amalia, tile Co m",unity of True Inspirat io n, by Bertha M. H o r ack-S h a mbaugh of Iow a Zeta, the State Historica l Society of Iowa has publi shed an interesti ng contribution t o the contemporary hi story of the com mo nwealth of Iowa. The volum e co ntains so me 400 octavo pages and is illu st rated by a number of fac s imiles of German manuscripts in th e archives of th e In spirationi sts and by r e pro duct ions of the title-page s of German treati ses publi shed in th e ea rly days o f the Community. Th e price of the book is $3, and copies may be obtained at t he office of t h e superintendent o f the Iowa Historical Society, Iowa City.

[n relating the hi story of the Co mmunity of True Inspiration Mrs. Sha mbaugh emphasizes the fact that the Community, whi ch traces its o ri gin as a re ligi ous movement to the Ge rman and Pietists of the sixteenth ce ntury , be liev es that divine in spiration and rev e lati on a rc as real and potent to-day as they were in the time of Mo ses; that divine guidance comes through iIidividuals who are regarded as especially e n dowed by the Lord with the um irac ul ous gift o f in spi rati on ."

This fundamental doct rin e is overs hadowed in intere s t, however, by the succ ess ful communism o f Amana. "This uni que community," says Sharnbaugh. "stands as th e nearest appro ach in our day to the Utop ian 's d ream of a community of rnen and women livin g together in peace, plenty, and happine ss, away from the world and it s rnany distraction s. Much in the life of the people o f Amana se ems plain and monotonous to the outsi de worl d. and ye t we are compelled to acknowledge frankly that the:rs is in many respects a more rat ional and ideal tife than that which is found in our average country village. There are no 'company manners,' and fewer 'w hite lies .' There is less extravagance; no living beyond o ne' s means; no keeping up of 'appearances'; and few e r a ttempts to pa RS for mo re than one is worth."

TRUE INSPIRATION

Because of persecutions s uffered in Germany in their attem pt to worship God in their ow n way, some 800 In spirationists ca me to New York state, where in 1842 they purchased, near Buffalo, the five thousand ac r e re se r vation of t he Seneca Indians . The increase in their numbers and the prohibitiv e va luatio n set upon lan d near the growi ng city o f Buffalo caused them to look westward for a permanent home. The s ite selected was a valuable tract o f 26,000 acres in Iowa. Af t er se llin g their lan d in New York the Community in 1855 began its se ttl ement o n the Iow a R iver near Homestead. To the new co lony was given the bibli ca l name o f Amana, which signifies "be lieve faithfull y." To-day the 1,800 members of the Community ar e scatte red in se ven vill ages: Amana, W est , South , High, Ea st, and Middle Amana, and Homestead. All t hese villages are within a ra dius o f six miles from O ld Amana and all a r e connected by telephone.

Eac h village co nsists of a cluster o f from forty to o ne hund red hou ses with one long straggling street and irregular offs hoots. Eac h, too , has its o wn c hur ch and sc hool, its bakery, its wine cel1ar, its po sto ffice , its general sto re , its water works and its fir e e ngine The community ha s the best of m edica l service for its phy s icians; youn g men, c hosen f or their ability, a re sent o ut "into th e world " for their training . Each villa ge also has it s sawm ill fo r the working up o f wood-obtaine d from the Com munity 's timber la nds- fo r the ho uses. The two-sto ry ho uses-w hich, as well as a ll ot he r buildings, are co ve red with the fruitful vine of the g rape whi ch co ntributes to th e "grea t purse" of th e Co mmunity-a re si mpl y se ri es of s itting rooms a nd bed rooms . At int ervals a re Hki tc he n houses" w he re th e meals fo r famili es in the immediate neighborhood are se rved.

"Individual accompli s hment," says Mrs. Shambaugh, "counts for naug h t in the Amana Society, exc ept in so far as it promotes t he interests o f the Co mmunity as a whole .

TREE BOOK

BY JULIA E . ROGERS OF IOWA ZETA

Doubleday Page and Company have recently published a second edition of The Tree Book by Julia E Rogers of Iowa Zeta. This volume is one of a series known as the Nature Library. In this series Miss Rogers has written two volumes: The Tree Book and The SI,,1/ Book She has also recently completed the compilation of an index for the seri es.

Mi ss R oge rs advises the nature lover t o begin his study of tn:es in his own dooryard , in the street he travel s four times a day to his work, and in the woods that he visits on holidays. Arboreta, those great dendrological Noah's arks , will but contu se and di scourage him at the outset. Moreover, park s and arboreta , with their carefully labeled specimens , arc scarce. Trees are everywhere.

Th e greater part of the book , 450 octavo pages , is a manual descriptive o f five hundred varieti es of our native trees . The key contains brief descriptions of the distinguishing characteristics,-leaves, flowers , fruit , bark, buds , form and habits of thirty-three families of trees and their subordinate species

The s econd chapter deals with modern forestry, how trees are tran splanted , multiplied , measured and pruned, and from what enemies they must be protected. This chapter naturally include s an account of a lumber camp of to-day.

The last chapter contains a most interesting description of the life of the trees. The living tree breathes; it inhales oxygen and exhales carbonic acid gas . This function of respiration performed through the leaves, the lungs of a tree, has much to

Th_ Tree Book is profusely ill ust r at ed with photographs. Many of these beautiful illustrations are in color . The volume is able and comprehensive in it s tr eatme nt o f its su bject.

The writer has been in close touch with the local Pan-Hellen ic Association most of the time as a delegate for the last five yearsThe Pan-Hellenic ever since he r sophomore year. The organization was formed o nly the year before that. During that time she ha s watched the methods, standards and charity of h er elders, Association at Barnard then her contemporaries and finally of those a number of years younger, and has come to the same conclusion which John of Salisbury voiced about eight hundred years ago, when, after a long absence, he returned to his old student friends on Mount SI. Genevieve at Paris: "I found them as before and where they were before; th ey did not appear to have advanced an inch in settling the o ld question s, neither had they added a si ngle proposition. The aims that once inspired them in spire them still; they h ad progressed in one point only, they ha d unlearned moderati on .. .. "; thus the Pan-Hellenic at Barnard from the viewpoint of an "o ld grad."

The Pan-Hellenic does what the faculty command without a protest; it formulate s rule s which are o ft en broken in spirit and in fact . Thi s year, for the fir st time, sufficie nt courage was mustered to bring charges against offen d in g chapters. They amounted t o nothing. Owing la rgely to the strain of a late pledge day-April of soph omore year-some underhanded work wa s done , more suspected, and general bad feeling prevailed among several of the fraternities. Rivalry was SO keen, because: so prolonged , that for a time members of two chapters were hard ly on speaking t erms! Of course a ll this ha s discredited the fraternity system with the faculty. Another great evil of the long rushing season is the engendered attitude of the rushees; many of them are sad ly spo il ed. Petitions have been lai d before both the faculty and student council to hav e the date of pledge day changed to December of sophomore year instead of Ap ril of that year. There is no rushing of freshmen and that is the only part of the imposed scheme which ha s worked well

A t least o ne chapte r is much d issat isfi ed with the lack o f courage and honor di splayed by the Pan-Hellenic a n d thinks that Pan-Hellenic does as much harm a s good. It is the opinion of

THE A RROW

New York Beta that t he o nl y agreement entered into sho uld r e late to th e date o f pledge day . If a few chapters conscientiously live up to the rul e, "no mentio n o f fraternity mat ters to ' a ru sh ee," it goes hard with them wh en ot h e r s do not . If there is n o such regu la tion a n hone st chapter can at leas t defend it self Personally, the wri te r would lik e t o see a ll mystery r em o ve d f rom r u shin g . She wi s hes tha t the wh o le matte r cou ld be put on a more busine ss- li ke basis: that both frat erni t y girls and rushee s sh oul d be allowed to tal k a ll they want t o open l y. It is on ly fai r to the fr ate rnity t o be permitted to state its good points and o nl y fair to th e ru shee to allow h e r to know hon es tl y what k in d o f an o rgan izati o n she is join ing.

Fi nall y, a numb e r of people at Barnard can n ot suffici e ntly co ndemn suc h a late pledge day . December of soph omore year with no fr es hmen ru shing would be quite bad e nough , for th e long s u spe n se hurts the atm os phere o f the co ll ege. but to ru sh fo r two years is in tole rable-a wa s te of e n e rgy. ti me and mone y and a loss of the qui et ideal of fri ends hip and mutual be n efit which justify the fraternity . The plea s that with a soph omo r e pledge day fri ends hips a re made " na tura ll y" and that adequate time is given to both frat e rnity girls and ru shee s to ch oose wi se ly have , some truth , but the advantages gained are in no way comparable to what is lost.

At the University of Missouri a committee of six professors recently submitted to the president of the university a report a. to the relative scholastic standing of the Greek-letter men and women and of the non-fraternity men and women who are students at Missouri. The investigations of this committee showed that the average of the Greek-letter men as a whole was below that of the non-fraternity men. The failures among the fraternity men totaled 26 per cent. and among the non-fraternity men 22 per cent. It is interesting to note that the Greek-letter girls are 22 points ahead of the non-fraternity women. And of th e three women 's fraternities the girls of Missouri Alpha of Pi Beta Phi ranked first , with Kappa Kappa Gamma second, and Kappa Alpha Theta third. "In scholarship Pi Beta Phi ranked higher than d id a ny other fraternity , and higher than did the rest of the entire student body." To Missouri Alpha the ARROW extends its warm congratulations on the chapter's creditable showing.

Probably all fraternities hold it a fundamental article of faith that their initiates mu st possess "good scholarship." Within the la st few years the desire o f fraternities that their initiates maintain good scholarship has manifested itself in many specific ways. K appa Kappa Gamma allows her chapters to initiate only regular fre shmen. Pi Beta Phi will initiate no s pecial students unless they already have twelve credits in college work or are carrying at least twelve hours of collegiate work. In each o f her thirtynine chapters Pi Beta Phi has a scholar ship committee who are respon sib le to the Grand Council for the maintenance of chapter scholarship. Looking toward the same end Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma are accumulating funds to found scholarships for their members. Since rgOO Pi Beta Phi has maintained two undergraduate sc holarships and one graduate fellowsh ip for her members. The Wisconsin chapters of Phi Gamma Delta a nd of Alpha Phi offer loving cups to their honor freshman, who has his or her name as the caSe may be engraved thereon. At the clos e of each year the cup is handed down to the honor freshman of the succeeding class, so that, in a sense, the cup bears o n its s ides the honor roll o f the chapte r . Alpha

Tau Omega is planning to offer to a senior or a graduate of one year's standing whose record has been exceptional, a $500 scholarship. Alumnae of the California chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma maintain a scholarship for some member of the undergraduate chapter who otherwise would be obliged to discontinue her college course . Alpha Tau Omega gives certificates of merit to its seniors whose work in s tudies, debate, or oratory, has been meritorious. The Colorado alumni of the. same fraternity have established a fund the income of which is devoted to the purchase of sets of books which are awarded to such members of the Colorado chapter as are elected to Phi Beta Kappa or Sigma Xi. Chi Omega gives a loving cup each year to the chapter that has distinguished itself in scholarship and efficiency in fraternity work.

Indeed, in a large sense the fraternities are becoming "mutual aid" societies. Not only do they help their own members, but also their colleges, and others . The Illinoi s We sleyan chapter o f Kappa Kappa Gamma ha s pledged $1 ,000 to the university as a permanent scholarship fund. The Denver chapter o f Pi Beta Phi pled ged $1 ,200 to the university's increased endowment. Th e Knox chapter of Pi Beta Phi contributed generously to the quart er of a million endowment lately rai sed. The George Washington chapter of Pi Beta Phi contributed to the university's building fund. The Kansas City alumnae of Kappa Kappa Gamma thi s year provided cl othing for a high-school student who o therwise would have had to leave school. The Lawrence Alumnae Oub of Pi Beta Phi maintains a scholarship at Kansas, to which any wOman student is eligible. The Syracuse chapter of Alpha Phi supports a similar scholarship at Syracu se University. Th e Boston Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi aided one of their number who was made homeless by the Chelsea fire. Th e Syracuse Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi aids an alumna who is a mis sionary in China. The Galesburg and Burlington alumnae clubs of Pi Beta Phi maintain each a bed in the local hospita ls.

In the same connection the figures quoted by Dr. Edwin E. Slosson in a rec ent issue of the Ind epe ndent are of interest. Dr . Slosso n says that in 19Q8 the total per cent . of failures among men students at Stanford was 18.3; among the women students the t otal per cenI. was 2.5. Statistics show that among fraternity men the per cenI. of failur es was 28, although among the nonfrat e rnity men who live in the dormitory th e per ce nt. was only 12.5. The pe r cent. of 'failures among the non-fraternity women resident in R obl e Hall , the woman's dormitory 1 was 3.6, and among the members of th e six so rorities living in chapter hOll se s the per cent of failures wa s 3.2

Although the figures in these two cases of oourse do not prove that aU fraternity men are poor students, o r that , vice versa, all fraternity women are good students , yet, to quot e Dr. Slosson: "It is curious to observe that joining a sorority niakes no such difference to a young woman as joining a fraternity does to a young man. Comparing the records of the women living in the six sorority houses on the campus with the non-sorority women living in Robl e Hall , we see that they are practically identical (half a girl is a negligibl e quantity s urely). Yet the sororities, like the fraternities, are much more given to society than the Halls . One would think that the numerous socia l functions with the preliminary and subseq uent conversation incident th e reto would distract femini ne attention fr om school work, but evidently they do not , at least not seriously enough to affect the reoord .

"We are then driven to the conclusion that there is somet hing about fraternity lif e, but absent from so rority life, that is antagonistic to scholar ship a nd conducive to in fringement of discipline . The conclusion is distinctly enoouraging , because it shows that the difficulty is not inherent in chapter-house residence or in active participation in social and othe r oollege affairs. It therefore can be removed without interference with th e frat ernity system. and those who believe that the frat ernities a re irremedi-

able and must be abolished by the universities or the legislatures, have not proved their case. That is, the sororities may save the fraternities."

Not all of the annual chapter letters to alumn", have yet appeared. Of those that the editor has received the pamphlets issued by Colorado Beta, Columbia Alpha, Illinois Delta, Illinois Zeta, Iowa Beta, Iowa Gamma, Iowa Zeta, Missouri Beta, Nebraska Beta, New York Alpha, New York Beta , Pennsylvania Alpha, Pennsylvania Beta, Pennsylvania Gamma, and Vermont Beta are especially deserving of commendation. Illinois Delta has done well to include in her report the local Pan-Hellenic regulations, thus informing the Knox alumnre under what conditions the active chapter is now working. The insertion in each chapter's letter of the names and addresses of all alumn", of the chapter is, of course, of especial interest to alumnz. But alas I there will be some disappointed alumn",. In the fifteen chapter letters, which in the Council's judgment deserve special praise, fourteen lists of alumnre are incomplete--Pennsylvania Alpha is so far the only chapter whose list of alumn"" as printed in the 190<) annual letter, is complete.

Mrs. Anna Ro ss Clarke, Iowa Lambda, in writing to the editor, tells a s tory that conveys an admirable suggestion. A member of the Des Moines Alumnre Club traveling through Colorado was accosted by the conductor of a street car , when she was in Boulder. "You wear the arrow," he said politely. HI have orders to direct anyone wearing the badge to the home o f the Boulder chapter's president. I will point out the house to you presently." And he did . All of which brings it to mind, that if we knew only one Pi Phi name in a city, how often travelers might avail themselves of a brief stop-over to become acquainted with Pi Phis who would otherwise remain unknown to them .

During the week came class day commencement, the senior r eception, and finally the play, in which Lenna Smith took part. The play was a very clever little comedy written by a member of the senior class.

After commencement the alumnae gave us a dainty luncheon at our rooms, at which we presented the seniors with the chapter pins which for several years it has been our custom to give the girls who are leaving us.

But we are to keep our seniors with us for two weeks longer, for to-morrow we start for Sterling on our house party.

CHAPTER LETTERS

Mabel McCann, '10, and ]u5ie Fox, 'II, are on committees of the Y. W. C. A. for next yeaT, and Elizabeth Nltchie, '10, is on the cabinet of the same o rganization Last ytar also a number of our girls figured on committees in this same o rganiuti on, which is a powerful factor in ou r co llege Sophie Woodman. '07 who was president during her senior yea r at college, is no w on the Y W. C. A. Alumnz Auxiliary Board, which she was in strumental in establishing.

OUT undergraduat e tea s. whi ch arc considered tht thing in OU T college social life, have been particularly fine this past year. Next year, they will be still morc successful, for Mabel McCann, ' 10, is one of the committee members for 1909--1910.

Field Day at Barnard is a day for mingled re jo icing and sorrow in g, accordi ng to the results of the spo rts . The two classes, '10 and 'II, with which we are m ost concerned now , s in ce most of our girls are members of one o r the other, car ri ed off fir st and second place this year, much to ou r delight.

Among other clubs at Barnard are tho se composed of the students especially interested in the diffe rent languages; the Classical Oub. fo r classical students, "La Cercle Fran.;aise," for French students, and the "Deutscher Kreis" for German enthusiasts. Elizabeth Nitchie, 'IG, has been elected president of the Classi ca l Club for next year and we are as proud as can be about it.

Look ing back. 1908-1909 has been a momentous year in the hi story o f the college as well as o f the chapter. It has witnessed a very noticeable increase in the number of students in Barnard, so that next year junior "required" courses will be presented in Satu rday classes. This is necessitated by the scarcity of class room space. We have a joy ful fear that a n ew building will soo n be necessa r y. Our two-year-old dormitory bas pro ved a wonde rful addition t o the co llege in every desi rable way.

THE ARROW

Comm encement time is almost here and w ith its comi ng grows the r ealization that we are to lose four of our very best g irls This will leave an active chapter o f on ly eight. By our next chapter letter however, we hope to be able to introduce some new Pi Phis.

This has been a peculiar yea r in ou r experience because it has been devoid of all formal ru shing activities. Nevertheless it has been profitable in many way s Individually we have ie3med to know each other better than would have been pos s ible under fonner condit ion s and inc identally we have formulated opinion s regarding sophomore pledge day and the r elati ons such an agreement brings about with rival orga ni zations. Apply t o Pennsylvania Alpha for info rmation regarding th e same.

In affairs connected with college w e have s har ed more than equally with the othe r fraternities. We have had this year a junior and a senior member of the Executive Board of the \Vomen's Student Government Association; the vice-presidency of the W S G. A. and the girl' s literary society. One of our juniors has been elected president of the W. S. G. A. for next year. One of the seniors took an active part in dramatic affairs. She had a leading part in the play, "Les Romantiques," given by the upper dassmen to the freshmen at the beginning of the year. Th e same senio r is captain of the girls' basket-ball team.

Since Pan - Hellenic pennits no fu nc ti o ns in which freshmen are included, our entertainments have been entirely chapter affairs o r those held with th e alumnz . We celebrated Founders' Day with the u s ual banquet at the Bellevue-St r atford, Phi lad elphia. This year we were happy to have many o f the Philadelphia Alumme Club with us and as guest of honor our Grand Treasurer. Miss Janvier. gave us many helpful and interesting suggestions regarding the coming convention As the commencement time approaches we are anticipating many happy times together some of the faithful alumnz who always come back at that time . But the best of all the good times is the house party which foll ows commencement week. This year we will go to Perk iomen Inn. Schwenk svi lle, Pa. We are hoping to have as many alumnz with us at this time as there are members in the active chapte r.

Swarthmore is steadily advancing, although this y ea r the advancement ha s made itself felt on each in divid ual a little more keenly than before. The standard of scholarship, considering the entrance requirements and the number of credits for graduation, ha s been raised one third this year. Hereafter no student coming from a preparatory school will be able to complete the course in three y ea rs Thi s advance in scholarship is due largely to the earnest efforts of Dr. John L . Lowes, head of the department of English, wh o leans Swarthmore this year t o go to Washington University. We hope Mi ssou ri Beta will learn to know Dr Lowes as favorably as Pennsylvania Alpha has known him.

Of course eve rybody knows that the Swarthm o re chapter is to have a convention in July of 1910 Next year we expect to think and act in term s of convention in orde r that we may make it the very best. Mary

Our pledging day for this yea r is set fo r J une 19, and as the time draws near we can h a rd ly wait to claim some o f the gi rl s we hav e grown to know so well. And we h ope that by t he time the next Atutow is publi s hed. we may be able t o present them to you , n ot as Pi Phi pledges, but as r ea l Pi Phi s.

On Founder s' Day our club entertained the chapter at a chicken and waffle dinner at Mrs Hu th's and we h ad a sp l endid time. We had all kinds of good t h ings t o eat and af ter dinn er we sat around t h e tabl e and san g Pi Phi songs and li stened to some of the stories o f the f o unding o f ou r chapter. as t old by one of the charte r members. Altogether it wa s a Founde r s' Day lo ng t o be remembered We have also been ente rtained this term by Phi Gamma D elta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. W e expect to h a ve o ur sy mpos ium,' as usual. in the Lewisburg armory and we expect even a g r eate r number t h an usual back t o attend it. A great many a r e also com ing to attend the senior class play, in which two of ou r girls, Eunice Hall and Frances Chaffee , have prominent part s.

We are going to h ave our annual , informal dance at Sunbury on June 24-

The commencement time marked th e close of another successful y ea r f or old Dickinson and for the chapter. In this year the college has grown in numbers, and there have been internal changes which w i ll no doubt make it the stronger. One of the indications of progress to which all Dickinsonians point with pride is the ne w athletic field which, fully equipped, was presented to the college at com m encement by the Hon . and Mrs . E. W. Biddle, in memory of their son. We are very glad indeed to be able to claim Mrs. Biddle as one of our patronesses. This new field will not only increase the beauty and value o f the college property, but will also put athletics on a firmer basis.

Th is year Dr. Reed celebrated his twentieth anniversary as president of Dickinson-twenty years which have been filled with arduous work. but with increasing success The trustees, as a token o f their "e steem and appr eciation," presented to him a beautiful silver loving-cup.

The chapter h e ld its annual banquet during commencement week and every one h ad a splendi d time. In addition to the two patronesses, w e had ten alumnz with us, and each one was just as loyal and enthusiastic as in her college days.

Since the last ARROW letter Pennsylvania Gamma ha s been entertained by Mrs. Bedford and Mrs. Filler, two of ou r patronesses, by Grace Filler, '10, and by Helen Kisner, '08. We also gave an infonnal tea in the chapter rooms to meet two visiting Pi Phi mothers. To cheer us up for our examinations, we planned a picnic at our favorite "Pi Phi Ridge " Although it had to be turned into a porch picnic on account o f the rain, every one had a fine time.

CHAPTER LETTERS

On F ounders' Day t h e chapte r with a fancy·dress party held in an attic. We did the Vi r ginia r eel t o th e music of a g r aphophone, and later had a mock w edding. Some of the cos tumes easily dated back to t he founding of 1. C, so we could giv e w ith greater ene rgy than usual the y ell for the F ou nders which ended o ur festivities. Not fo r a lo ng while has Penn sylvania Gamma had a merrie r time .

We wish that some o f us could meet o ther Pi Phis from Alpha Province at the r eunion tbis summe r , but that pleasure must be put off u n t il convention.

The chapter ha s been made ve ry happy the past w eek by lea rnin g t h at two of " ou r g r and old sen io r s," on whom we depend so much, will be with us in Ca rli sle next yea r .

Pennsylvania Gamma sends best wi shes to all chapters fo r a happy vaca t ion and mu ch success in the fall.

The year of 19Q8..1909 has been a very pleasant and successful one (or Columbia Alpha. The college has had a large enrollment o f students and it i s hoped that a large building site will be bought for a greater university in the near future. The Women 's Building has proved a success. largely due to our Dean of Women. Miss Harriet Ellis. Of course, one of the greatest advantages of the university is its situation in Wa s hington, a city of exceptional educational opportunities.

Socially. we hav e had a delightful year . Our two rush dances, the Founders' Day banquet and ou r May dance were all most pleasant affairs.

Our chapte r has added to t he su m rai sed last year (or the university building fund and th e whole amount will be presented to the college at the end of the college year.

In addition, just one year from the announcement of Jame s Patton's gift, we have our long-looked-for new gymnasium almost completed. It is a build in g of whi ch we can justly feel proud, as it is one of the largest and most complete as well as one of the finest looking gymnasia in the country. It was ope n ed with a ")fus ic Festival" o n Jun e 3, 4. and 5 whi ch drew peo ple from all th e s ur rou n ding country Among th e celeb rat ed singe rs was Madame Schumann-Hein k and th e choru s wa s one which s ho wed g r eat training. At Co nvocation Presid en t Harris, one yea r afte r th e announcement o f Mr. P atton's gift of th e gymnasium, told us of anothe r gift. M r N. W Harris has offe r ed $150,000 fo r a new lecture hall and recitation building and $5,000 additi onal for the improvement of th e campus provided that within a yea r, en ough m o r e can be raised to make a total sum o f $1,000,000.

mencement exercises were also held here instead of in the Chicago auditorium as fonnerly .

The rainy weather interfered with our annual picnic to which we all look forward and the fact that it unavoidably took place on the same day as the alumnz luncheon at the university kept away many of our alumnz who are usuaUy present, but th ose of us who attended made the best of circumstances and had a good time ind oo rs planning the summer and fall rushing. As things look now we shall undoubtedly have a matriculation pledge day. as not all the chapters will agree to a pledge day contract or rushing rules. Allhough thi s will not be nearly as satisfactory to us as a contract we feel that our experience with this sort of rushing last fall will a id us mat erially and we arc planning a strenuous campaign.

\Ve are losing two strong senio rs this year and the fact that neither is a town girl will make them doubly missed . We initiated two new girls in April wh o will be back next fall to help us.

We celeb rat ed Founders' Day as usual in connection with the Chicago Alumnce Club A lunche on at the Great Northern Hotel was enjoyed by every one. On May 22 we held our formal party at the Evanston Country Qub. This year it took the form of a Ja panese party and we think was very pretty. On May 29 we gave a lawn party at the h ome of Frances Paullin on Sheridan Road fo r Corinne Cohn who is to be married in July One of the f eatures was a mock wedding We all feel we are going to miss Corinne very much next year, but the fact that she is so very happ y makes us feel less selfish.

CHA P TER LETTERS

The great event of the year for our college has just taken place. The Michigan Intercollegiate Field Meet was held in Hillsdale and passed off with a great deal of excitement and satisfaction on our part For we acx:omplished our aim. that is, to take second place in track, and to win the tm"is and reJay pennants . Although we did not have 6rst place in track work. the majority of the gold medals were taken by Hillsdale athletes This advance in athletics is indicative of the gen e ral progres s of the school. Next year occurs the Quinquennial reunion. when WI! hope to find many Pi Phi alumnz among those who return to their Alma Mater.

We are glad to introduce two new pledges, Jessie Reem, a sophomore, and Mella Van Meter a freshman. Prospects are bright , for at the opening of college next fall we expect to have six of the present chapter, three initiates, and three girls who have been out of school. Bess Kempf, Esther Bran ch, and Olive M errifield .

Three of our girls are graduated thi s year, Harriet Bishopp, who is valedictorian Alice Satterthwaite. and Charl otte Shepard-the latter from the Art Department. Harriet and Alice are to be in Tecumseh next year and Charlotte in the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago.

The pOd, WiU Carlet on. o f the class of '6), will be here to attend the fortieth anniversary of his graduation

The Nibecker Declamatory Contest, open to fre shmen and special students. was won by Gladys Cherryman with much h onor. as she was the last of thirteen speakers .

We are represente d on the new Y. W C. A cabinet by three girls. Six of us participated in th e annual exhibition of the physical culture class, which is considered unusually good this year

Germanre Sodales Society recently presented "Strongheart" at the City Opera H o use. Gladys Ch erryman and Ruth F o rd took l eading parts, and Leah Stock and Mella Van Meter minor parts, all with credit

The national and local Founders' Day we celebrated with cooky shines . We have entertained three group s o f co llege men , the two fraternities and the non-fraternity men. Kappa Kappa Gamma recently entertain ed us at a musical Our good times am ong ourselves have b een mostly in f ormal birth day celebrations

We wish to express to Miss Lytle the regret which we all feel tha t she is compelled to give up the provi nce presidency

Michigan Alpha sends best wishes for a happy summer to Pi Phis far a nd wide.

On Ma y 28, the stude nts of the university gave a banquet in honor o f President Angell. T h is was the first time in the hi st o ry of the university that all the men and women students came together in a jo int project.

Now that the time fo r parting is so near, we arc comple ti ng plan s for ou r "Round Robin" as we ca ll it.

THE ARROW

Our banquet, which is to be the nineteenth of this month, will bring to a close an active and successful year for Wisconsin Alpha . The greatest part of OUf interest has lately been centered on planning for a new hou se which we hope to have in the future Many of the girls have spoken of the new house of California Alpha , views of which appeared in the last ARRO W, and wished that ours might present so fine an appea rance. No wonder the chapter is proud o f it

We arc very proud to have one of our seniors make Phi Beta Kappa this year. Dorothy Marie Burnham has hardly escaped any college honors; but we all kn o w that is the final and highest recommendatio n Two of the freshmen, Mahala Holm and Fannie Brown, this spring made Red Domino. the gi rl s' dramatic club. so we now hav e three membe r s in the club as Stella O. Kay se r joined last year. On e of our juniors, Martina Marsh, was elected secret ary o f the Woman's Self-Government Associati on, so the Pi Phi s can feel them se lve s well repre sented in college thi s year.

All o f us a r e loo king fo rward to the banquet, with the usual anticipation, for the meeting with the alumnce many of whom have been away only a s h ort time. This year we expect many back. and have just heard that Edith Fisher, who wa s a sophomore here last year , is planning to r et urn, and a lso Emily Holmes, who was graduated la st semester. Many or all have been written to and we h ope to have an even larger gathering than usual.

Wiscon si n Alpha sends be st wishes f o r a good vacation for every Pi Beta Phi.

CHAPTER LETTERS

While Pan-Hellenic rushing rules have not come out as well this year as we h ad expected, we have not given up hopes of working out a system that will be satisfactory t o all and perhaps onc year more will mean more conce rted and hannonious rushing among tbe various sororitifS.

W e hav e the happiness of look ing forward to a new home next {alla house, larger and better in eve r y way. able to accommodate mo re girls and be in all respec t s more truly attractive than our o ld h ouse. Then, too, it is situated in a prettier part of town and we are antiei pating a happy and prosperous year in it.

Commencement at Iowa Zeta t his June bid s fair to be gayer and moTe democratic than ever. Under the management of the Greater University Committee, and through the conce rted action of the various classes it is to be more of an all-school affair than he r etofore. Undergraduates are planning t o s tay and hundreds o f alumni to come back fo r the various class reunions and commencement events, most especially a big universi ty picnic to be h eld up the I o wa riv er in o ne o f the city parks.

We shall lose from ou r number fou r senio r girls, and for us comm ence m ent will close with one o f the most s tran ge ly happy and desolate times of the year-the Annual Senior Breakfast when w e bid them good-bye.

Jun e 10, incidentally the date for the ARROW lette r to be in the edito r 's hand s, marks the close of this college year. Then f ou r more Minnesota Pi Phis will r eceive their degrees. We shall miss them greatly both in the chapter and in college affairs.

Our co llege has h ad a very success ful year Fifteen o r twenty blocks of ground hav e been condemned by the Legislature t o be used in the extension of the campus They also appropriated half the money for the Women's D ormitory. The rest was given by wealthy men h ere in the city. This d ormilo ry has been acc om plished through the efforts of the girl!. in the Women 's League of which Esther Chapman. one o f ou r seniors. is president.

We celebrated Founders' Day by having our initial ion in the aft e rnoon at the h ome of Louise de la Barre, f ollowed by a banquet at the Plaza Hotel. Our alumna: took entire charge of Ihe banquet W e were very fortunate in having with us that evening Mr s. Rickett s. former grand vice·president. Mi ss Archibald. of Nebraska Beta, as well as the Misses Corbett of Michigan Alpha. who were attending the Y. W . C. A. convention.

Just a few days before the date set for o ur annual formal party which was t o be held at Glenn Morri s Tnn , Christmas Lak e. one of o ur charter members, Maud V. Johnson, died at her home in Minneapolis. It was a great personal loss to each and everyone of us.

The freshmen gave us a final chan ce for a big "get-together" this yea r by arranging a picnic at Como Park. St. Paul. just after final examinations the first week in June

Just before the beginning of the final examinations the chapter wa s ente rtain ed at a slumber party at th e R obbi n s h om e in Ro bbinsdal e. W e had such a lovely time that now we are trying to plan a house party fo r a week o r ten days after commencement. but have n ot yet decided upon the place.

A chapter of Delta Gamma was lately in stalled he r e. Pan-Hellenic ha s at last made some rules fo r rushing next fall. Each sorority is t o have one night for a party, on which night n o ne o f the ot h e r s can entertain any of the rushees.

Washington University has never had a m o re prosperous year than the past o ne. The enrollment si n ce we have been on the new campus is increas ing wonderfully We who can compare the present size of our college with what it was fou r years ago see thi s with amazing force . We have one new building, the Graham Memorial Chapel, in the same style of architecture as the others. but both internally and externally is accounted by many the m os t beautiful of all. Next year the Law School and the Art Department are to be moved out t o the campus. That will make a great difference, for heretofore o nly the department has had its home on the campus .

As to the faculty, first of all comes our new chancellor, Dr. H ouston , formerly president of Texas University. Then McMillan Hall has a ne w

Commencement we ek is over now and we are just about to sta rt on the most trying featur e o f the college year, the Jun e examinations. Our comm encement this year was something ent ir ely new for us. In stead of lasting just two o r three day s as it formerly did it extended over a whole week, beginn in g with the senior class play on Friday, the twelfth and ending with the Fete Champetre on T hu rsday , the twentieth. On all occasions our three seniors had parts which made us glad to own them. Tn the play at the beginning Louise Westfeldt and Agnes George were a hero and a heroine respectively and at the end Martha Gilmore and Agnes George both had leading parts in a Japanese dance, one of the feature s of the Fete Champetre.

The thing which we enjoyed most ho wever, was th e dinner which ou r active chapte r gave to their senio r s in the chapte r r oom on Friday, the twenty-6rst. \Ve sang and yetIed and toasted and tried to forget th at we should soon have to give them up to the alumno:e.

This yea r we celebrated Founders' Day by having a circus. Each girl was dressed t o represent some member of that augu st body and came prepared to act her part just as far as she could The refreshments were pink lemonade and peanuts, which were greatly enjoyed as a change from the same old ice cream and cake.

The University o f Colorado has made plans for an unusually good summer school this year . The National Educational Association meets in Denver this summer and that has been an inducement for many well known professors to accept positions in the summer schoo1.

CHAPTER LETTERS

Much time and money is also being s pent in buildings and improvements. The new Law Building, a gift to the university, is being rapidly erected and will be completed when school reopens in September. One of the Cottages is to be made into a University Oub House where the students. in their spare hours, may meet and learn to know each othe r. The Dean of Women is especially interested in this scheme and intends to give up a part of her s ummer vacation in o rd er to see the work completed.

In May the university held the first o f its musical festivals. This is a custom which we hav e every reason to believe will continue and onc which should elevate the musical tas te o f s tudents .

Founders' Day was spent in Denver with Colorado Beta acting as hostess. In the afternoon, just before the business meeting, tea was served in the Bungalow and at six o'clock an elegant dinner was served at the Shirley Hotel. Miss Frye, o ur province president, was able t o be with us on that day and added largely t o the plea s ure o f the occasion.

June 7 was the date of the senio r class play "As You Like It." Rosina Vaughn had the part of R osalind and Frances Waltemeyer, another one o f our gi rl s, t hat of Phcebe.

We lost this year, through graduation, eight of ou r girls and their places will be hard to fill; but many of our plans for next fall' s rushing have been made and we hope to be as successful then as in other years

The last tenn has been a very busy onc for all Colorado Beta girls. and all are now glad of the long re st.

During the spring vacation of the high schools, we entertained a few high school seniors at a luncheon at the Bungalow. Then a short time aao we gave "Our Seniors" a farewen dance which was enjoyed by all We have done little entertaining besides.

Our Founders' Oay banquet was a fine success. A goodly number of Colorado Alpha girls came down to celebntc with us. We also had the pleasure of having Miss Frye. our province president . with us on that evening.

The senior play. "Mistress Mary's Contrary Garden," was written by members of the senior class and four of our girls took part in it .

Our out-of-town girls are leaving soon for their respective homes and our happy famity will be broken up. However, we who live in Denver are planning for regular meetings all summer Then too we are hopine to spend the last two weeks of our vacation together in the mountains.

Colorado Beta sends love and best wishes for a happy summer, to all Pi Phjs

Since our last letter to the Auow California Alpba bas been chiefly concerned with final examinations and commencement festivities'. OUf sen ior week began w ith t he senior farce on May 13 Florence Mctmer, ' 10, had one of the leading roles, and the play on the whole w:as very excellent. The senior ball on Monday evening and the Prom the iog evening were both very elaborate and enjoyable affairs . Commence-ment Day on June 19 witnessed the graduation of six of our most nent girls. We are indeed happy to say that three of them, Ruth Lewis. Ruth Sterne, and Evadell Thompson , were elected to Phi Beta Kappa

As a last farewell to OUf graduating class the under classmen of the chapter entertained them with a senior breakfast The table decorations consisted of lavender and purple sweet peas arranged in the shape of '''ai' and place cards with cap and gown girls sketched on them completed the effect desired.

Just before final examinations began we had the pleasure of celebrating Founders' Day with California Beta as ou r guests . In the evening we entertained them with "stunts" and dancing, and the following day took them on a tally-ho ride up among the foot-hills back of the university and there spent a very enjoyable time . On this occasion California Beta pre_ se nted us with a most beautiful hammered brass bowl, of which we are very proud.

Although sad at being separated for a few months, we are all happily planning, as a reunion in August, a house party at one of the beaches nea r Los Angeles . Then we all expect to be together once more, and enjoy a few weeks' outing before going back to hard wo rk again.

California Alpha sends best wishes to all for a happy vacation.

California Beta has dosed a most successful year. The University of California is rapidly advancing along the Hnes of a greater university. OUf beautiful white granite library is steadily nearing completion and already the excavations have been made for the new Boalt Hall of Law . A costly gateway is DOW being constructed at the Telegraph Avenue entrance of our campus. The last state legislature has, at its last session, almost doubled the apportio nment to the university and everything seems to point toward a very bright future. OUT one hope is that Pi Phi may progress as our Alma Mater advances. In fraternity circles are several items of inter est. Two new soro riti es have been established at Califo rnia this spring , Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta. These additions raise the number of national sororities at California to eleven.

Pan-Hellenie has decided that we may ei ther bid on R egistration Day or wait until the twelfth o f November, when the second bidding day takes place. Every effort is being made to have a year pledge day.

The new woman's dormitory, "College Hall." will be opened in August. This has long been a cherished hope o f the faculty and we are proud to see it at last realized

Our chapter was the guest of California Alpha on Founders' Day at their new house at Stanford . The day was spent in picnicking in the hills. As it came in the midst of examination season. many of u s were compelled to remain at home, but those who went had a most enjoyable t ime and declare the Stanford girls most chann in g hostesses.

One of the sweetest and saddest gatherings of the chapter is the seni o r lunche on which is given in honor of our seniors at the close of the college year.

It is just a year since the Quarterly announced an intention t o present in this issue the group photographs of the active chapters of the fraternity. As the actualization of this intent has been made possible only through the assistance not only of the chapter editors but also of every man who sat in the group pictures, we take this occasion to pat ourselves collectively on the back. This is the first achievement of the sort in our own fraternity and we doubt whether any other of al large a membership has ever presented photographs of all of its chapters at one time We re gard this 35 significant of the unity of purpose and spiri t of "pull together' among all our chapters.-Delta Upsilon Quarterly.

For the fourth season th e Executi ve Council plans to carry on an employment bureau. This is principally for the benefit of the 1909 graduates but it may also be of benefit to alumni who desire a transfer from their present positions.-Delta Upsilon Quarterly.

The re ha s come into existence at Michigan a new organization, the Inter- Fraternity Conference, which promises to be of great importance and influence. Its membership consists of two delegate s from each literary fraternity in Ann Arbor. One of the two delegates is an alumnus 'either from the faculty or the town. Scholarship and th e general welfare of university affairs and fraternity life are the matters with which the organization conce rn s itself.-M ichigan correspondence in Delta Upsil on Quarterly.

Delta Upsilon has authorized the appointment of a "committee of forty - eight" to be known as the "Trustees of Delta Upsilon!' The committee i s to consist of One alumnus from each of the fraternitYs thirtyeight chapters, six alumni at large, t he three trustees of the Fratemit) Endowment Fund, and the president and sec r etary of the Executive Council, ex officio. President Fairbanks of the Executive Council at the in itial meeting of the committee, ably advocated its organization.

Such an organization will be a st rong fraternity anchorage. The fundamental articles of faith in Delta Upsilon are sound moral character. efficient scholarship, and the democratic spirit. The general tendency to-d ay among college fraternities is away from all these ideals. In a bost o f Greek-letter societies is moral flabbiness, and the average chapter house is not the best place to grow scholarship. Democracy is also a failing attribute of fraternities, especially in the East. To see the k owlowing to money and clothes by societies that have had a splendid hist ory is a mournful sign of the times

THE ARROW

Such an organization would hold the fraternity property, especially anJ funds that may be gathered hereafter to support the fraternity's larger activities. A1J many alumni would contribute to no endowment fund handled by a board on which their chapters were not represented, in order to make an effective appeal to OUT graduates we need the broadest kind of organization.

The board of trustees wilJ serve as a center of alumni interes t Even if the Executive Council had the time, that body is not sufficiently representative and its membership is too shifting.

Such an organization will profoundly affect the whole fraternity life through its support of projects which for one reason or another now languish . The alumni should never be called upon to pay the running expenses of the undergraduate organization. Every college generation ought to meet its own bills. On the othe r hand, large propositions are always coming up, important in themselves but impossible of execution without heavily taxing the men in college. To-day barely a fourth of our alumni are subscribers to the Quarterly. An appeal from a respon sible a nd representative body t o the 4,800 non-subscribers might be most e ffective . If the fraternity ever decided to build a memorial house at Williams, as Alpha Delta Phi has done at Hamilton, here is the organization to push the matter. If we ever concluded to found scholarships to aid exceptional undergraduates in g raduate study, this organization would h o ld the funds.

The establishment and maintenance of a permanent sec retaryship in the fra ternity alone would ju stify the organization of the "Trustees of Delta Upsilon." The present system of fraternity organization has nearly reached its limit It takes t oo much volunteer service. Now we require the sustained effort that can be given only by a man who devotes his whole time to the work. To-day the particular need of the fraternity is supe rvi sion and inspiration o f chapters, and the awakening of dormant alumni. It is t he unanimous opinion of the Council that though visits to the chapters. either by its own members or by delegated alumni, have been useful, they are made at too great personal cost. Moreover they are necessarily bri e f If these s hort calls can do so much, longer ones and more th o rough study o f chapt er conditions would do even more . What we want, then, is a man whom we can afford to pay to give his time to the fraternity. His chief duty will be t o the undergraduate chapt ers, but he can be o f immense service in calling upon graduates who have lost interest, in attending club dinners, etc. A broad-ga:Jge, sympathetic, tactfu l young man, full of energy and enthusiasm, would lift the fraternity to new levels of usefulness.

When once we rid ourselves of the notion that the fraternity i s just a pleasant form of association for boys, and realize that whether the fraternity wi shes o r not. it is becoming a moral, intellectual and educational force. we shal l find the field wide enough for any ambition.-Delta Upsilon Quarterly.

The Delta Upsilon Quarterly Endowment Fund was begun last year and has now reached the modest total of $16 . It consists of dollar gifts toward a permanent fund of which the interest alone is to be used in improvement in the magazine.

At the coming Delta Upsilon convention in Boston which celebrates the fraternity 's seventy-6fth anniversary, one evening will be given to the presentation by the Harvard chapter of an Elizabethan play, Chapman's Al Fooles . The play was given this spring with great success by the Harvard chapter at Cambridge , Boston , Smith College, and Wellesley. For eleven years the cbapt« bas maintained this custom of giving Elizabethan plays .

THE ARROW

The articles of incorporation o f the association state that the bookkeeping systems of the American colleges arc far from efficient and satisfactory, and one of the 6rst duties o f the association will be to develop an internal cost-accounting system in addition to the present meth od of merely accounting (or the cash proceeds and handling the trust and other funds.

The association will endeavor apparently to carry out the plans set forth in Mr. Birdseye's book. "The Reorganization of our Colleges:' for surrounding the college with th ose influences in and out of the class room which will be productive of that class of citizen most useful and m ost in demand in th e country. Mr. Birdseye h olds that of the influences which affect the st udent the college home tife includes fully 90 per cenl and the associatio n designs to secure "the betterment o f the college community life and of the college home life, wheth er in the frat e rnity home, the col· lege dormitory, or the local boarding h ous e, and the restoration so far as possible of the individual training of the students, mentally, morally, and physically."

Mr. Birdseye especially does not believe that the present fraternity life has been developed to its highest possibi lities, so the a ssoc iation would better this as well.

In the department of instruction the purpose is t o secure improvement in the pedagogica l training of those proposing to teach in colleges, and attention to questions of health, compensation, pensions, and other intereosts of the teaching forces. The association will also endeavor to bring about a more general study of civic affairs and economics. To advance these purposes and to promulgate these ideas for which the association stands, a magazine to be known as The American C o lle ge will be published, and in addition branch associations will be established in other cities to cooperate in the general purpose of educational development.New Y01"k Times

Resolutions were also adopted by the State Senate expressing the esteem and appreciation in which the citizens of the state hold the venerable man. Regent Hill has presented a monum ent of Dr . Angell in bas-relief, wrought in bronze o n marble, to be placed in the new Memorial Hall of the University of Michigan .-Michigan chapter letter in Delta Upsilon Quarterly.

If you have been appointed sec retary for y o ur chapte r, y ou r duty toward your fraternity has become plain, and to neglect this duty it is as hannful as if you had neglected any other sacred duty in life If you could not o r w ou ld not do the required work, you should not have accepted the o ffic e. The requirements are these: (I) A chapter lette r,

giving all the news of the active chapter, its girls. old and new, its inner life as well as its social life; Dews of the college, whether this be concern· ing athletics. new buildings, endowments or new faculty members. . ( 2) A separate article for Alumnz N otes, and bere we want all possible news o f OUf alumnz everywhere. th eir occupati on, change of address or any ho nors which they may have w on. We have only onc sure way of keeping track of our alumnz for the benefit of our readers. and that is througb our chapter secretari es i if they fail, we may as well have no body of aluDlIlZ back of us, so far as Themi.s is concerned. (3) On a , separate page should come the announcements of any marriages that may have occurred within the ranks o f y OUf chapter since the last letter, with exa ct dales, and a statem ent as to the future home of this alumnz sister ( 4) Then, there is the general article, due from yo ur chapter for each number of Themis . It may not be the duty o f the secretary to write this article for each issue, but at least it is her duty to see that some capable member of the chapter does write it. and that it is sent in on time with the other material This article may be upon any subject, only do not attempt a short story, and do not send in a one-verse poem as a substitute. It is a good thing to give thanks and to sing praises. but we need something more substantial to fill in the space between the title page and the editorials.-Zeta Tau Alpha Themis, quoted by Kappa Alpha l ournal
