" IN THE BEGINNING."

ON the evening of April twenty-second, 1867, Libbie Brooks and Ada Bruen, both students in Monmouth College, caUed upon Fanny 'Whitenack, and the three girls spe nt the evening with lara and Emma Brownlee, who were boarding at Mr. Whitenack's. While in the room of the Browulee girls, we were talking of some school g irl s who wore a little black pin with a gold l etter A npon it. We never knew its history.

The Betas and Delta Tau Deltas already had chapters at Monmouth, and the question was suddenly asked: " \Vhy conld not college girls also have a fraternity!" W e all thought that if yotmg men gained h elp in this way, young womcn sill·ely might also. The idea of a secret society amon women was novel , quite illweard of, in fact, but we concluded to make the effort. We then selected the others who were to be asked to unite with us, and decided to meet in a week at the room of Misses Bruen and Brooks.

When we met, ten were present. Mrs. Thompson and Jennie N icol could not be with us but had consented to join US provided we shou ld organize. Emma Brownlee was temporary president, and K annie Black secretary, and th e were afterwards made onr perm'anent officers, with Maggie Campbell as treasurer.

We at once voted to organize, but we knew not what. We had plenty of enthusia m but very lit t l e knowledge of fraternities.

The one secret of how toe became members, it was decided to "always conceal and never re"cal," and no Pi Beta Phi can ever tell this first secret of its founders.

On that very evening of April twenty..,ighth, 1 67, we appointed committees to draft a constitution and nominate officers, we "made up some secrets" and decided ou our grip which we used faithfully. The snbject of our badge roused lively disen i on, for we considered that all important. Our pretty little

189

nrrow was decided upon at our next meeting as we did not want to come to a conclusion hastily.

The next meeting was at Maggie Campbell's on May fifth. You could never imagine its secrecy. With blinds drawn, in whispered words a constitution was adopted, officers were elected, name alld badge decided upon.

On May fourteenth, 1 67, eleven girls, eacb wearing t he golden arrow of I. C. Sorosis, walked into college chapel. The 'young men cheered, the faculty smiled, and we felt that it was truly fill important occasion .

"Ve soon realized that while our brotbers were members of natioJJn.l fraternities and had the support and encouragement of chapters in other colleges, we stood alone. The young men treated us kindly, SO kindly that sometimes ''brotherly IQve" was suspected, but they insisted on knowing about our other chapters, a secret which, of course, we did not tell .

That was a question yet to be olved. Libbi e Brooks was tbe ono who helped us over this difficulty when she decided to at· tend colle"" at :Mount Pleasallt, Iowa. Of her work there, you 1111 know the hi,tory. It was ber sister, who not long after carried I. C. into Lombard University at Galesburg; so Pi Beta Phi owes much to the Brooks sisters.

It is remarkable to think that the ten who were present at our first meeting are all living and, so far as I lun wj]\ing to tell, are still a credit to the great Greek letter fraternity into wbich I. C. bas grown. We suspect that you would like to hear that among your founders were a Miss Willard, n lirs. Livermore or even a Mrs. Belva Lock-wood. We can only say that one business mnn, two farmers, one lawyer, two preachers and a doctor have been looked after, to say nothing of several cbildren and a few grandchildren. The seven husbands have never appeared as victims in divorce snits, and wbile they do not claim that tbeir wives are shining lights, they know them as good women in bomes, churches and clubs. Two others of tbe original ten, who have never married, are noted for their good works, while one is a widow, a woman of wealth, active and terested in all reform work.

J 'BE ARROW

I should Eke, before I close, to tell you how, in the summer of 1 68, the Monmouth I. C.'s came to our home iu Little York 10 visit Jennie Nicol and the Brownlee sisters. From there we went to Fanny Thompson's and were met by Ada Bmen and Libbi e Brooks. I'V e founders have .I\\'ays felt that this was our first convention. Every member was present except Hosa MOOl'e, and it \\'8 a meeting that was always remembered, for in a few months Mrs. Thompson was taken from earth.

Then our grand and lovely Jennie Xicol, after graduating in the summer of 1868, cared for an aged mother as long as she Eved, then as a true sister kept a home for her brother. When tho way opened, she went to Philadelpllia, was graduated in medicine alld passed a year in a Xew York hospital . Sbe spent some time learning German and then went to Switzerland, where she was taken ill and died,-only one American lady witb ber at the time . Rer body was brought to this country and now r ests in the family hurying ground at Monmouth. I want you girls to remember her e,'en if you forget the living, for she was so hraye and earnest .

Of the ten who are living, every one sti ll stands firm for the true I. C. doctrines, whicb are those of the Pi Beta Phi. I do wish they could hav e stood with llIe at the cODl'ention in Madison that you migbt hoye had a better idea than I can give you of their true worth.

I'Ve 'feel sorry for your sakes that we were not Greek individuals, but you must remember that your founders !i"ed thirty years ago, when to plan and organize a secret society for \\'omen took as much thought as to control one to-day.

We founders of I. C Sorosis thank the Pi Beta Phis of today for all their kindly thoughts and words. Though we are growing old (some of us already ha"e a second eye-sight) we ,hall watch your progress with greatest in wrest, and we all feel that you will keep our order ill the front rank of women's frawrnitiee, true to all that is good, opposed to all evil.

PRIORITY.

HE J\aplJ(I Alp1Ia '] '1I(/a for :llarch contains an article called "Priority," which claims that the di stinction of beiug the first wOlllan's college fraternity belongs not to Pi Beta Phi but to Kappa Alpha Theta. X ow, for a few word in rela-tion thereunto . Kappa Alpha Theta's claim to priority ill' based not on an actual matter of dates (facts and figures forbid such a claim) but o n the ertion tllat our methods and orgauization were not at first si milar to those of th e Greek letter fraternitie s. 'W e @ho uld wry much like to haye pointed out wherein lies the differ enc e. X either Theta nor anybody else would raise a question as to our standing t<>-day, our position in the Greek world is assmed, and yet the Pi Beta Phi fraternity of eighteen-ninety-eight i. the I. C. Soroois of eighteensixty-se\-en,-nim, spirit and organization identi cal in eve ry respect. E"en the oignificance of "I. 0." is retained as an essential part of OUT organization. If our method has been modified it is only SO far as wa s needful to meet the demands of Q growing organization. W e have changed,-shame to that frate rnity which has not,-we have developed in .11 that touches fraternity management, but in principles there has not been the slightest cbange

I. C. Soroois wa s founded as a college organization strictly and its constitution provided for its mainte nance as such. Its first chapter originated at :Monmouth ill 1867, its second was established at Iowa Wes leyan in 1 69, and its third at Lombard University in 1 70, the year that Kappa Alpba Theta was born. Ti,e first convention of Pi Beta Phi was held in 1 72, that of Kappa Alpha Theta in 1 76.

Baird is incorrect in his statement (p . 241, old edition) that tbree kinds of chapters were at first provided for. IIe either misinfonlled or misunderstood tbe information gh'en him. Provi ion was made for but ,two kinds of chapters, coll ege and alumnae. The first associate chapter, tbat at Ottumwft, Iowa was fo rmed in 1 0, in direct, thougb perhaps ign or-

ant, violation of the constitution. The educational requirements for fraternity membership differed from those of to-day and this associate chapter was the logical outgrowth of the practice common at tbat time of initiating preparatory students, 8 practice recognized, we believe, by Kappa Alpha Theta, certainly by Kappa Kappa Gamma. The ratification and recognition of this associate chapter was not accomplished without much difficulty, and there was always a large and active minority opposed to its continuance A precedent being created for the assodate chapter, others followed through a too li beral con· struction of the constitution These led a more or l ess precarious existence for six years only, being then definitely and forever abolished.

Bllt after all, what in the world has this to do with the question of ll1'ioT-ity ? It is on the matter of associate chapters that Kappa Alpha Theta seems to base ber whole argument, and the fust associate chapter of I. C. was not establi shed until 1880, when I. C had in existence thirteen years and had seven college chapters, when Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma were ten years old and Alpha Pi,i eight. What would Theta hav e said about priority, we wonder, if asked the question previous to 18801 Does s he 'mean to disregord the whole previous existence of I. 0 ., or does she merely intend to subtract from our sum total of thirty-one years the six years when associate chapters were in existence! We suspect, h owever, that the whole question, in the mind of our critic, turns on the matter of the Greek nam e. A weighty argument, forsooth, in these days when every Iligh School or Academy club is t itled by some letters of the Hellenic alphabet. If the Greek name is wbat makes a fraternity, then in the name of all tbat i fratsrnal let us welcome to Pan-Hellenism every group of human beings which calls itself anything betwee n Alpha and Omega.

Truly, it would be a strange spectacle,-that of two great national organizations quarrelling over a mere matter of age. So far as we ourselves are conce rned we would g ladly yield the palm, if palm it be, to Kappa Alpha Th eta or anybody else that valned it, without reply of any kind. It is n ot for our-

seh'es that wo contend, but for those pioneers in educational work for women, those women of brain and heart, who, without the aid that Theta's founders received, gave to us I. C., an organization that has pro"ed itself capable of every fraternity requirement, and through all these years has brought help to so many college women, both under its earlier and its later nam es.

As we look back ove r the thirty-one yea r s to our credit, we see many opportunities lost, in view of all we might have been and might ha" e done, but among our shortcomings let us trust that there will never be found any indifference to the honor due our fOUllders and the organization they gave us.

A STEAMER LETTER.

TO A PI PHI.

There was a dainty maiden Who crossed the stormy flea

To see the olden countries, A fair Pi Beta Pbi.

And, as they rode the waters, So gallantly and gay, There came, with flying pennoos, A ship that barred their way.

It was a doughty Spaniard With look so dark and grim W'bo bade them swirt 8urrendt'r Or sink to Hades dim.

But that brave Pi Phi maiden Knew naught ot fear or dread, Without an ioswnt 's waiting Swiftly b er arrow sped.

And 80 that Spanish captain Did turn his ship and flee, All vanquished by the prowess Of ODe Pi Beta Phi.

THE ARROW.

Sbe went to Merrie England, She bowed th e queen before. She 8wiled on kni ghts and nobles, She won their hearts galore.

Sbe took the henrts they proffered And, smiling, thrust th em through With O D e small golden arrow I H er com rad e trioc1 and true .

She went to glittering Paris, She sweetly said, "Je sUls Ce qu'il faut vous ndmirez Une vraie Pi Beta PbL"

She sailed adown the Rhine stream , She saw a castle pile , "Le icht kOnnt' ich diese Mauero Durch stoss' mit meiDem Pfei1."

She went tbrough Alpine gorgcs, She saw Rome's olden pride, She faintly traced an arrow On th e Colosseum '8 side.

And 80 at le ngth rejo ic ing, Sh e cometh home to be Again in Kan sM Alpba A true Pi Beta Phi.

A TOAST.

Delivered before P ennsylvania Alpba chapte r o f Pi Beta Phi at th eir annual banquet, April thirteenth, by Edna Harriet Richards.

mADill Symposiarch and Girls of Pi Beta Pm: I do not doubt that looking at the subject I have chosen, ''Democracy, " you are patiently awaiting eithe r a staunch support of some radical r eform or else a eulogy of my great fellow tatesman from Ohio, hut the toast which I am go ing to ask you to drink to night is not to any refonn nor to President McKinley,

much .. he deser\' es that eyery gla ' in tho land he drained to his glory, but ratber to a certain Pi Phi chapter that I know and loye, where tbe duties and rights and privileges of Democracy are and must he felt. The duties of a Democracy! To he able to carry your share of the burden. The right;; of a Democracy? To carry ollly your hal". The privilege of a Democracy! To lay claim to tbat share .

Girls, will you pardon my nsing a "cry old saying? It is ver!l old but so appropl'iate that 1 canot resist. 'Ve have always heard that no cbain is stronger than its weakest link. Girl, I run confident that no fraternity cbapter i. stronge r than it s weakest member. And why are there weak memhers? You all know tbe story of Alexander the Great, how by conque t h e won control over an almost unlimited realm and thell gO"erued it by an almost unlimited personal powel', and how when the time crune that e,'en Alexander must die, and the attendants around his couch asked him who was to succeed him, he an· s wered, "The Strongest," and how thel'e was no one to be found in all that realm strong enough to hold it together, and how soon Macedonia was divided and forgotten. I believe there is 110 temptation which the fratcrnity chapter meets so lIard to resist as thi..-to yie ld the control of it. affairs into the hand s of ono or a few strong members. And if it yie lds to this -temptation! The time comes when that one must lea"e her Alma Mater, again there is a cry for '·the Strongest," and again th ere can be n o o ne to answer. \Vell , " I am getting cheerful again, ain't 11" as Cal eb Plummer says, bnt helie"e me, I have painted this picture so dark ollly that you migbt fully appreciate the reault th t ensues when an organization does not yield to this temptation, but adhering to the principl of a tru" Democracy, develops R memhership IInifornlly inte llige nt, uniformly capable, because uniform ly responsible. May Pennsylvania Alpha ever he snch a chapterl each of her members eyer b. intelligent enongh to accept resl'(lllsibility, strong enough to he trne to her hon est opinion s, great e nough to keep her mind con· tinnally open to new thoughts and revelatious! So I ask you

THE ARROlV.

to drink to-night to the Pi Phi girls of Swarthmore that they may ever adhere to a tn,e Democracy, that this chapter "Of the people, by the people, for the people," may not perish from the earth!

THE GOOD AND THE BAD

( HE average college girl is full of ambition, her ideals are higher than she dares to tell; she appreciates that life is much too short to accomplish all that she wishes, and that the great problem is not what to put into her life, but what can she best nHord to leave out. We are seeking a symmetrical development and that is the greatest wish of our teachers for us, but sometimes we feel as if they had forgotten about the social side of our natures in their zeal to mnke good students.

The fraternity is primarily soci.l in its aim. Tbere is great danger of a studiously inclined girl's making a mere machine of berself She is thirsty fo r knowledge and before she realizes it has sacrificed even ber friends to that end . She may have time for a few intimate companions but their so closely linked with her own that she might as well have had no friends at all so far as the broadening of her l ife is concerned. The world has not much u e for tbe hook-worm,-it wants women who are alive, awake and ready for any emergency in every day life; this is the gool of tbe runeteenth century girl and the fratcrnity helps her to reach it. This same studious girl then feels it worth her while to give up a fraction of ber time to a dozen or more friends wbo bave each a personal interest in her welfare and are bound to ber by tbe ,,!ystic silken tie, friends who yet bave such diverse interests that sbe learns mncb of human life and becomes interested in things before entirely outside ber spbere. It is besides a great inspiration in yonr work to feel tbat there is a circle about you lovingly watching your efforts and wisbing you all success; and that wben you bave achieved success you bave reflected credit on this bond of sisterhood so sacred to you.

Then, again, students of different colleges are brought into

closer touch. The fact that Olle has very dear friends in a distant school JIlllkes her very much interested in that school and she seizes e"ery opportunity to loom something new about it. From her own fraternity magazine she gets new idells of college life and may apply them with advantage to the sooiallife of her own college.

As an alumna, whether or not she becomes allied with an ahunnae chapter, the fratenlity woman is a great help to her Alma Mater, for so long as her chapter is there she is instrumental in sending to it students of the type whom she would choose as sisters.

This is the ligllt in which Ice look at women's fraternities; hut there are two great objections raised by faculties when fraternities apply for admission,-that they are detrimental to literary societies and that tlJeY make too great a class distinction. Are they justi£ed ill rai';ng these ohjections? Is it true that we ha\-e lost all interest in the literary societies! The best drill ill tbe wbole college course comes from the literary work and we certainly nre not ignorant or cnreoless of that fact. The fraternity women should be the leaders in soci ety work and the contestants for high hOllors, and if they fail in this the ideal of the college fraternity has been 1Jllattained and we are dropping far below the standard placed before us.

Fraternity is said to make a strong cla distinction; it r eally does not make it but on ly label s what is already there. There are a number of good people in the world who are bent on doing away with all cla ss and caste, hut so long as we are imperfect mortals, born with diverse tastes into widely varyingsurroundings, refoml in this respect looks a little discouraging; and could it be accomplished it i s ,ery doubtful if the world would be any happier. But distinctions can be narrowed d own to such a fine point and measured by such empty stan dards that they become utterly contemptibl e. No criti c i ms ca n be made on our chapter standards; eve ry Pi Phi is in earn est when she ca ts her vote and carefully considers whother or not a girl will be worthy of the wjne and blue; but our seJfuhnees displaY" itself in our attitude towa rd the girls outside our circle, t he girls

THB ARROW.

,vho ha,'e not been quite so fortunate as we, who, it may be, ore quite uncongenial to us. A chapter which prides itself on being the "most exelusive set in school" is not worthy of the fair name it bears . If we 81"C genuino, if we are true, no amount of rubbing up against other people a little less polished will demct from our worth. Let liS pllt Ollr fraternity beyond reproach. in this respect; it will cost coch of liS little to make the "non-frat girl" feel less out of college society; the orrow, 'which nleans so much to liS, means nly an insurmountable barrier to her, but let us show her that its wearer is always kind nnd inelus;"'e in the noblest sense. We cannot afford to stoop to empty pride since the golden link thllt binds liS is no common thing. For of friendships Lillian Whiting has said, "All be,ude these are a part of the scenery of the external and temporal world; but friendships are of the eternal and the divine." Ivith hands nnseen they lift us onward, upward, near "those trailing clouds of glory whence we came."

Wbat a fraternity (Uri (blaks.

I am glad that the cbapter tbat is puzzled about tbe relatives, raised this question, for it involves a difficulty which every cbapter must at some time meet.

Oar .. R:el.UOD.... Our love for our fraternjty sister makes us feel ready to make any sacrifice, in order to avoid giving ber pain, but we must consider one thing:-Is this sacrifice one that we bllve a right to make! If we could act in tI,is matter I1S individuals there would be no issue to be raised, but in my mind there i no d<>ubt as to the course which we should pursue, for we are bound by a three-fold reeponsibility: our duty to our fraternity, to our chapter and to our sister in the fraternity, and while the last duty is great it is overshadowed by the obligations of the other two. To our sister, our duty, nay, let me say privilege, is love, with all that that love and friend· ship may involve. This duty is more individual; for her sake we are willing to put aside our personlll antiflllthies Md extend all sympathy to those dear to her; but that this oonnot be made a fraternity duty is plainly seen when we r...lize h<>w our individual existence is merged into our chapter life. What may be plainly the duty of a f""ternity girl toward a fraternity sister cannot be construed into an obligation devolving upon the chapter. We owe to our chapter support in every way and we dare not admit to it a girl who will not raise its standard, who A_aow 2.

will rather make it less honorabl e in the eyes of our college world.

The chapter loses i ts influen ce and fails of its true obj ect as soon B.S we break down t ha t oorrier of co nsen tism which i s its own safeguard, and admit to the "ha rm ed circ l e, for compassi on' s sake aJone, one with whom the fuliest, Im .. t, friendship is not possible . In so doing we are false to ourselves and to the initiate, for we are deliberately spea king from th e lips vows in which tl, e heart has no sha r e Th is we dare no t d o ! Far hetter not to make these P''OIlUSes than to kn ow, in our hearts, that t hey are false and holl ow . W ill not the so l emnity and value of our initiati on se rvice be forever marred if once we have set asi de its truth! And even if we do not ou roe lv es take the vowl!, even if we stan d si len t, we haye st ill, by our ballot. implied our consent to all that the serv ice iuvolves . If the ceremony were to be read aloud ju st before a ballot is taken, there would he fewer false vows laid to the sco re of friendship. As to the iraternity"at-Iarge our re sponsibility i s quite 8S great W e are but tbe representativ es of a large organization, bo\lDd by ties of truth and friend ship, and we are acting for tbe who l e fraternity when we invite any ODe to j oin Pi B eta Phi . We are guaranteeing that this girl will r eprese nt the best int e rests of the whole fraternity, that she he not simply one who will not harm the society, but one who will work f or its advancem en t. IVe are pledging all our sisters to love and hefriend this new member. If it does not mean this, of what value is our union at all! Why do I belong to a national fraternity if I do not mean to be loyal to every Pi Beta Phi , whateyer her station in life? Have we then not It ri ght to a.ss um e that no chapter will admit a girl who does n ot rum toward the ideals of our organization! If we cannot r ely upon this our fraternity is not upon firm ground and we tacitly acknowledge that our principles are theories impossible to pra ctice Ruth H. Sprague, Penn. B eta .

In reply to an inquiry in the April Arrow concerning the in. 'itiation of relatives I would like to say that whil e often relativ,",

are "chips from the same block," yet there is need of caution It is only right that the chapter should take the utmost pains to be.come acquainted with the Dew girl , Dot by rushing, but by kindly, friendly intercourse. This having been done and the «relative" proving quite un conge nial or undesirable, it does not seem as if it were at all tbe duty of the chapter to initiate her. To be true Pi Phis there must be congeniality, and the girls in the cbapter must f ee l that each one is not only a /I 'we girl but .a {rat emity girl.

Each girl belonging to a chapter, who has It relative e n tering an institution after sbe has become a fraternity member must t.,ke all of these things iuto account. All girls-even sisters-are not interested in the same things. It may be hard for the member to feel that others do not love the " relative" as she does, yet knowing the essentials for a fraternity girl, it is only just to the chapte r that she should look at the sis ter or cousin from as many different sides as she has been accustomed to view the new girl not a relative . Genuine sisters in the chapter are to be preferred to step-sisters .

In these busy days when students are o,·erwhelmed with .duties in the class-room and in the various coll ege organizations, it is afe to say that every gi rl , as she has bee n

solved itself into this, "What is the least po .ible time tllat I tnllst give the fraternity!" Perhaps she is chapter president, perhaps not,-no difference. She attends the meetings, she doe. in all probabiJjty and in a way what the fraternity requires of hel'; but aside fro,:" that, she excludes herself from the !,'irls-either because her work is too heavy or because she better friends elsewhere . No c ritici sm o n the hard work or the other friends,-but when a girl enters a chapter, she pledges her closest and best friendship to tl,e members of that chapter and of the whole frateruity. Perhaps she is corresponding secretary. What then 1 Arrow letter. put off until due and then slighted; chapter correspondence sadly neglected and when the letters are finally hurried off, they are indeed poor realizationa of our fraternity id eal s. Heally, if our enemica could see some of the letters received by correspond in g secretaries, what a stimulus would be given their side of the que tion. Our frate rnity is eith e r much or nothing. If it be much , . no honest girl will lose one effo r t to make it more : if nothing. then were it best to drop i t. Let U 8 give more time to OlU' work , tlJat is all the fraternity needs, for no one wishes other for it than the best. Let us give more time to the forming of friendships which shan be harmonious and lasting. Thus will our fraternity be a sweet refuge from the rush of school duties. and in it will be our ideal life, tranquil, noble, sacred. Iowa Beta.

IV.

One requisite of a good Pi Beta Phi is unselfi shness-a willingnesa to yield one's opinion and judgment to that of the majority. La ck of this is a frequent cause of u...,........ inharmonious chapter life. E"ery girl should be independent enough to have her own ideas, but as in any other sphere independence can be carried to an extreme, so it i. in the frateruity. The chapter that is divided, on whatsoever lines it be, cannot be a strong chapter. In the fraternity, as in the family, each must give up sometimes ill-

order that peneet peace, barmony and unity b.:l maintained. As Longfellow has said: "Let us then be what we are, and speak what we think; hut cn all things keep onrseh'es loyal to tmth and the sacred professions of friendship."

MICHIOA N ALPHA ' S CATA LOG U E.

Always recognizing that the girls arc apt to lore mterest in their chapter as the ycars separate them, mce they are not always able to attend reunions and perhap never hear from the home chapter (unless it be in financial straits), we stnrted out with the objeet to acquaint each girl with tbe whereabouts of e"cry other member, to once more intercst them in Pi Beta Phi and in connection to gain members for tbe Xational Alumnae Associn bon.

Four montbs of patient work has made an idea a fact, and that fact is now in the hands of every m mber of Michigan Alpha. Furthermore, the other chapters are to receive one b&side all our honored officials. ,Ve would like to give one to every Pi Phi in the world, that all might know where Michigan Alpha lives.

'Ve commenced by dividing the list, Kate King heing acquainted with the older members, chose the first half, Lelia Lane Smith taking the other half for the same reason .

We wrote letters to the addresses taken from the cbapter's list, stating our aims, a king for news of themselves and especially asking for as permanent addresses as possible-any changes occurrmg, the chapter to be notified-neglect in tbis way seems to be a notorious complaint. Some replied at once, some when ready, others not at all. A few letters were returned, some of these we found through friends and the college directory ' Ve wrotc once, twice, thrice and tl,en exchanged our delmquent list. In the end we were rewarded by bearmg from aU but one (though she was heard from mdlrectly) and

Editorial.

In looking back over th e past year, the editor is inclined to be hopeful if not actnally optimistic. The work whi ch was und ertaken last July with a good deal of hesi tancy and se]£distnlSt has proved most pl easnnt, and th e n e>.-t year will be entered upon n ot only with more confidence, but with positive anticipation.

Th e girls have been SO good I We wish every corresponding secretary to f ee l herself personally thanked for her eheerful courte y and promptness in attending to the many little favors that have been asked, as well as for tl,e business·like way in which the ordinnry routine work has been accomplished. 'Va had been l ed to have a pretty low opinion of the average college girl's executive ability, or of any other girl's, for tbat matter, but this opinion has happily been modified by the past year's experience-or is it that Pi Phis are not average coll ege

Of course there have been plenty of irritating littl e mistakes.

THE ARROW,

Some have failed to r espond to urgent inquiries, or at l east to respond promptly, but no fault more serious than the minor sin of carele ness has been the cause, It is a trifl e mortifying to one's IQCIlI prodo to ha"e to confess that most of the "bove mentioned mistakf"l haye been made by chapters of the "untram, melled W est"-t,his phrase being u ed yague ly in the New England se nse to include everything we t of the Alleghanies, Our sisters of the Atlantic seaboard haye been so uniformly prompt, methodical and accurate that they deserve a pecial word of mention.

To the editor t.here ha"e come so many words of appreciation f or what she has tried to do, that she feels all the more contrite for hR\'ing succeeded no better, She feels that she has been in a measure faith I to the tru t placed in her, because the Arrow work has had to be crowded into the bits and edges of a busy mortal's time in stead of being given the attention which is its due and which it was fnlly expected could be gi,'en to it. That it ,hall be given next year is a prolllise thus publi cly made that it may be the more reli g iously fulfilled, So "with a ' iong pull, and a stro ng pull, <lnd a pull altogether" we are all going to work, g irl s, to make the Arrow better than it has ever been before,

It is a very great pleasure to be able to introduce to the Arrow's readers the founders of Pi Beta Phi, W e have all of us, eve r sin ce we became Pi Phis, cel ebrated the anniversary of om founding, Md ha,'e alway> held our founders in honor, albeit. with something the same impersonal, far-away reverence which we feel for Geo rge 'Washington, Thomas J e£ferson or the other classic heroes of our nation's beginning,

To those of us who were fortunate eno ugh to attend the last con ,'ention, one of the founders at least was converted from a rerered abstraction into a fa r more delightful reality, and her account of tbe founding of Pi Beta Phi in this lltunber cannot fail to make all our original members reul and livin g to us, Wo t hink, too, that those who read Mrs, Kilgore's article will gain

.ARROW

.. new idea of the simple and natural way that our order began, of how this little group of college girls, not more or Ie experienced, wise or earnest than their sisters of to-day, laid tho foundation of a great woman's fraternity.

It is too bad that we have not the pictures of .11. It is delightful, on the other hand, that we have so many. As we look on the grouped faces and then try to turn our thoughts forward thirty years from our own college days, let us hope that the jd ls of Pi Beta Pill may help us ro become what tbey bay. helped our fouuders to become, intelligent, upright, loyal American wom en, a strength to their homes and to their counuoy.

The publication of our yearly catalogue and report, os well as the extra number of illustrations in tills Arrow have crowded out our excha1lge department. We assure our exchangers that their magazines h.,·e been recei,·ed and that we shall endeavor in our October number to do justice to two issues.

Hereafter we shall regularly print on the last page or pages of the Arrow a column of notices. It is especially desired that these be looked up and read as it is to sen·e as a sort of fratern;ty bulletin board. From the other poi.nt of view, <if any chapter or officer wishes to call attention to any matter of busi· ness, let them send a notice to be inserted in this department. Lastly, the assignments, for Arrow articles will be made here instead of by letter as heretofore, so chapters are strongly adyised to follow the example of the yeteran novel reader and turn to the last page first.

As a rule it is probably best for the amateur editor not to attempt to apologize for typograpillcal errors: first, because it would keep him in a state of self-abasement as chronic as that of Uriah Ileep, and second, because it is not wise to call attention to what is past help Just this once, howe"er, we want to break our rule and explain that in the article 011 Fraternity or Sorority in the last Arrow, the omi - ion of the letter "s" at the -end of the words Hfraternitns" and "sororitas" was an en'or of

Her e arter we shall attend dan ci ng parties only {)Il Friday and Saturday nights and come homE" at tw el ve o'clock. Fraternit.y annuals and social events are exempt from such restrict.ions But. t.he faculty do e veryt.hing to make the university lire enjoyable and how much we appreciate their efforts Deed not be said.

Illinois Zeta sends to eve ry Pi Phi best wishes ror a happy summer.

OUl' first year as sisters in Pi Beta Phi is almost ended , but I am sure that aIt'eady it is with accents quite as and loving as those of the older chapters, that we say, "Dem' Pi Beta Phi!" The wOI'ds seem to have a peculiarly lovable sound, and we ree l that each year they will grow dearer to us. The last month has been a happy and eventful OIlC to our girls. On Founder ' s Day a number of them visited Indiana. Alpha who had invited our chapte r to celeb ,'ate the day with

it , and right royally they werc entertained. A drive in the afternoon through the pretty little town, a diI111el', and in the evening the pedormance of a G r eek play were the features of a m os t enjoyable visit. Aside (mm th e pleasure to be derived fr om suc h a meeting, it is ce l'tainlyalso of ad\·untage to come into closer' touch with othe l' members of Pi Beta Phi. Realizing this, it was with much ('egret that we werc unable to accept an iuvitaL100 from th e chapter at Bloomington to attend a party there, though one of Q UI' gil' Is, Ethel CUl'rye l' , had th e OppOI'· tunity of "isiting there a few days, having gone to attend the Indiana Union of Lite rar y Clubs.

The war has b l'ought many unexpected c\'cnts in it.s train and it has n ot even left us untouched. On April twe nty -third Ge rtrude McC ullulll, one of our girls, was quietly manied to MI' . Robert Lowry MOI"ehead , an alumnus of the Phi Del La Theta ft'aternity at Butlel'. Th e mania-ge was to ha\'c taken place in Jun e, but it was precip itated as MI'. l\1ol"ehead , who is se r geantmaj or, was ordered to camp and shortly after left for Chickamauga

On May ninth our girls ga\'e a pal'ty at th e hom e o f Cathat'ine Stevenson. Th ere was a fatal attraction in a certain little room in whi c h a palmi s t was ende3\'oL'ing to satisfy the yearning s of the waiting youtbs and ma id ens. Her effOl'ts seemed on the whole to be satisfactory, judging (I'om the pleased expression on Illost of the faces. Th is, tog et h e r' with dancing and conversation, caused the evening to pass all too quickly, as ce l'tain unfortunates who were compelled to walk bom e can testify. But I fear our letter is growing too long, and in ol'der to leave space COl' others. I will close with greetings to all the sisters and wishes COl' a long, happy \'acation.

Durin g the winter we planned a l'eception for Founder's Da y , but owing to a combination of unfavorable ci r cumstances , wewere obliged to give up that pleasure and substitute in its stead, on the evening of the twenty-seventh, an old-fashioned spread - not so old· fashioned, either, as we had" war rations for refreshments. The next day we wore our light blue s hirt. waists with wine ties, and though we had no fJ"aternity fE-stivities , this day will long remain vivid in out' memol'ies, as many of our boys left for cam p at Des :\Ioin es There were no recitations in t h e morning until after their departure and sad faces crowded about the train to say" Good-bye.

In our SOI'rOW, may we take her as an example. We could wish no more for any of OUl' girls than that they should li \'e to be as useful and as h el pful to the wol'id. are very happy to have one of OUI' alumnro, Bessie Pal'ker, with us occasionally at ou r meetings. After an absence of some length, she has l'etul'ned as a fine elocutionist and is gi v· ing lessons both to classes and to pri vate pupils.

'Ye think the suggestion made by Nebl'aska Beta concern ing the Exposition a good one. Can we not fix a definite time and place o f meeting, so that as many Pi Phis as possible may be together wbile in Omaha? Let us talk of this in our chapter c0 1·l'eSpOlld enee.

Not long ago our new patroness, Mrs. H . O. Dodge, invited us to a tbimble party at ber borne. We were qui e tly busy at our fancy-work, when a large box, addressed to the Pi Phis, made its appearan ce. We examined it carefully and found tbat it came from Woodbury Hall-tbe boys ' dormitory " Flowers ," one girl guessed. "O ld socks," guessed anotber. Eagerly we opened tbe mystery and found-old socks , lots of tbem, and needing mending very, very badly Of course, witb anytbing so practical at band , we could Dot continue (ancy-work, and we spen t the afternoon at that eminently feminine occupationdarning

Our cbapter bas been s mall tbis year-only twel ve girls . To some of the larger c bapters ours must seem very small indeed, yet we have not felt it so. Perhaps our (our pledges, whom, for various reasons, we hav e n o t initiated this year , have belped to make us feel sufficient· unto ourselves. Howev e r that may be, our frat ernity life tbis y e ar bas been a very bappy life, and we have not wished for numbers.

After tbe oration given by Lyman Abbot the 9th of Ju n e, we saw in the black-gowned procession moving berore the Chancellor seven Pi Phi sistersj Kate Snow Walker '97, took her M. .d. degree. while three or our charter members, Jennie Barber, Belle Reynolds and Edna Carscadden,- and tbe first tbree initiates, Mary McGabey, Oda Clossoll and ADna Lytle gain ed tbeir diplomas. Those or our sisters who bave bad to give up so many at once will understand without being told bow much we shaH miss these girls.

'Ve have a memento or them in the illustrated Senior Annual. ADna Lytle was one of tb e committee that arranged tbis pretty souvenir.

Anniversary Day was celebrated by a banquet held at tbe beautirul home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Sawyer. Alumnre, active and visi ting members and patronesses made a merry com· pany as tbey faced eacb otber across thp. octagonal table. Among those who responded to toasts were Miss Morris, of Indiana Alpba, and Mrs. W Q Bell, from tbe original cbapter

at Monmouth. When Mrs. Bell told us how closely the girls had to guard their secret and how the discovery 01 her pin a lew days before graduation came very near preventing her from receiving bel' diploma, we realized how many obstacles have disappeared from our path. The lines 01 poetry witb which she closed her response have gone to fill a page 01 our scrap· book, already of great interest to us. Our photograpb case and our chest are higbly valued.

We wisb to introduce \.0 all tbe girls our pledged member, Evangeline Hazlewood.

We hope Miss Morris, of Indiana Alpha, will Hnd Nebraska air so bracing that she can be onc of us next year.

Miss Antrim, of Colorada Beta, came to Lincoln the last of May and hold s a large place in our hearls.

Our acquaintance with siste rs from other chapters has brought to us the realization or the need there is oC the cbapters knowing each otber more intimately tban by letter. Meeting and talking witb the girls serves to unite us very closely.

By tbis time, you have heard of tbe corner Nebraska Beta is to bave in the ·Nebraska building during tbe Trans-Mississippi Exposition. We hope to meet many Pi Beta Phis and know that we sball be benefited by tbe cbats beld under tb. wine and blue. GRAOE E. REYNOLDS.
