THE ARROW

PI BETA PHI IN Y.w.C.A. WORK

FOREWORD

No. [

The writer has had the pleasure, lately, of tutoring a highly cultivated Japanese woman, a graduate of the Women's University of Tokio. She was in this country to study our customs, our way of living, and our way of thinking, and she asked a good many searching questions regarding national and individual life. One of the subjects discussed most thoroughly was the educational system, public , private, and the universities. Her repeated question, "How do you culture the spiritual side?" set me to thinking. How do we?

In numbers of our great cities there are so many of other faiths among tiS that direct religious teaching is forbidden by the school boards. In New York the Jews even tried to prevent the singing of Chri s tmas car ols in the public schools. Of course , in private schools there is usually some time given to reading the Bible daily, but that cannot be called instruction. In at least three of the great women's colleges there is a prescribed Bible course, the study being, in one case, from a lite rar y point of view only. How do we cultivate the spiritual side of our lives?

In Japanese schools there are certain prescribed hours of moral instruction each week. As the religion of that country is, at present, in a rather undecided and formative condition , these are, in a strict sense, more moral than religious, and my friend admitted that such instruction would not be as necessary in this country where the home life and traditions are different.

The lack of strictly religious teaching and life in our colleges has probably accounted for the great rise of that branch of the Young \Vornen 's Chri stian A ssociation. There are now branches

THE ARROW

in 536 colleges and sc hool s, with a member ship of 36,209 young women. Whether one sympathizes or not , one must recognize s uch a movement. Surely, in a wen-roun ded fraternity such as ours there must be many who go much farther than mere recognition, man y to whom th e Y. Vv. C. A. means, or ha s meant, much that is very preciou s in their college life . But the stre ngth of a fraternit y is judged by the alumn",. It i s they who must prove, in their various walk s of life, th e benefits of college and fraternity life , and so there is the aftercollege side of the work. When we have been graduated and our influence is no longer potent in the s tudent association , where can we direct our energies? What can we do to further that which meant so much to us a while ago? present se ries of st ati s tics and articles is designed to bring all this a bit more to our attention, to show what undergraduates and alumnre are doing along this line. Of course, repre se ntation in both fields is neces sarily limited and , especially in the chapters, not altogether fair. One year a chapter may have several officers and a number of delegates , and then for a year or so none ; but these s tatistic s are brought together with the idea that there should be , all the time, in every .well-rounded group of girls, so me who would be active in this work, and a number who would take up this line of work definitely.

A BIT OF REAL LIFE

By EMILY, BROOK S HARRI SON

(Mrs . Harrison, a member of Jllinois Della, attended Kn ox College and received the degree of Master o f Science in J88g. She won fir st prize in the Ladies ' Declamation Contest at Knox and was pre sident o f the L. M. 1. during her seni o r year. ] n 18c)7 she organized the Minneapolis Teachers' Club, which, in 1908, has a membership o f 700. She was president for nine years and was made honorary president for life in 1906. On July 14, 1897. she married George Harrison and has visited Europe and the Orient seve ral times since then. She is actively interested in Y. \v. C. A. work and is pres ident of the Minneapolis of the three larges t city assoc iations in the co untry, having a membership of 3404 J

A pretty COlin try girl looks long ingl y across the harvest fields toward th e di s tant city she ha s never seen. Her father and her

E mily Br ook s H a rr iso n

mother died when s he was a chil d, and neighbors have given her a home in return for he r work. This summer s he has received two dollars a week, the fir st money she has ever earned. A sob cannot be hushed. "Oh, if I had more money I would never stay here another day. I hate to work for harve st hands. I wonder if the nine dollar s I have earned this sum mer is enough to buy a tick et to Minneapolis." It is still early in the morning; a train goes through the village at ten o'clock. If she hurries she can leave on it. A quick deci sion makes her run upstairs , change her dress, pack a pa steboard box , grasp her little purse, and fly down the road. It see ms she never will reach the village, but she is in time for the expres s. She buys her ticket and finds she has $1.35 left in her purse.

How excited she is when she is seate d in the car, and how relieved when it starts . It is growing late , but at last , at last, she hear s th e brakeman call, "M inneapolis! Minneapolis!" She buys a paper from the newsboy and looks for the column, Help Wanted-Female. How many strange addresses there are; and so many references are required. So many persons want only competent cooks. "Where shall I go first?" she asks herself in a scared whisper as she steps from the train and follows the other passengers into the waiting-room. It is nearly dark when she sits down, ready to cry. There is so much noise. She wonders if trains come and go all the time, and where all the girls and women are to sleep who are coming up the stairs. She wi shes she had waited until Fair week, when some of the neighbor s would have come with her. No one looks toward the lonesome girl except a young man by th e window. She thinks he must be one of those handsome young city fellows who have their pictures taken every day for t he big clothing house adverti sement s in the weekly papers. He looks just like the one on the first page who always wear s the s tyli sh busine ss suit. The young man walks to the farther side of the room, then turns and looks again at the country girl who now feels s ure he can help her and decides to a sk him a question if he comes nearer . He walks toward her, speaks pleasantly, and asks if he can ' be of a ss istance. She tells him she does not know where she dm go , and asks him to direct her where she can s tay ' until she gets 'a place to work. He tells her his aunt will be k ind to her, and if

sh e will come with him h e will ge t h er So me supper and take her to his aunt' s hom e, where there are se ve ral other gir ls ; and in the morning he will take h e r wh e r e she ca n earn ten dollars a week. This seem s a fortune to th e gi rl and sh e sta rt s willingly and h ap pil y t oward a ca rri age waiting o ut side the st ation .

Thi s yo ung man is not the only one who h as bee n wa tc hing the girl ; a motherly woman who ha s bee n preparing warm milk fo r a s ick b aby who , with its father , ha s h ad to wa it f o r the next train , is now at liberty and h u rri es to the carriage do or and question s the girl , who innoce ntl y t ells her story, and al so tells how kind this st range gentleman i s, a n d wha t he ha s promised to do f or her. The woman looks stra ight into the man' s eyes an d tells him to leave the sta ti o n immediately.

The girl , bewildered, has n o w found a real fri end in the Y. W. C. A. Trave ler' s Aid Matron . There are three of these matro n s who meet train s all day lo ng and devote their lives to befri e nding the strange r . Our count r y g irl is taken to the Y. W. C. A. Transient Hom e for h e r s upper, lodging, an d breakfast, wh ich sh e ha s money t o pay for. At this home the re have been r egis ter ed 1,385 ot h e r women who during the year have n eeded help and dir ecti on quite as much as this g irl.

What is this organization which un de rtak es to b ef ri end strange g irl s? Th e g irl ha s h ad a talk with the matron and now kn ows what an escape sh e h ad th e eve nin g b efo re . She is taken to the Central Administration building of the Minneapoli s Young Women 's Christian Associat ion, 87 South Seve nt h s treet, and i s introd uced to the employme nt secreta r y, who immediat ely learn s what th e girl is willing to do and tri es t o find for h e r a desirable sit uati on. In the mea ntime th e girl is asked to mak e herself at home in the parlo r s a n d library. She has neve r seen such beautiful furni shing s . Can it be the yo un g women of Minneapoli s ow n thi s buil d in g and enjoy it a s they pl ease? Y es, a dear friend of girl s, Mrs. Benton, gave to the Y. W. C. A. of Minneapoli s this building now worth $150,000. She is e ntertained watching the cro wds o f neatly dressed young women who pass h e r on the ir way to the lun c h eon room, and i s a stonished to find that ever y day 800 girls can secu r e lu ncheons here on the cafeteria plan, averaging fr om e le ven to sixteen cents a meal. She is now ready for h er din ne r and is di rected where to go;

she is given a roll , creamed potatoes, corn, a glass of milk, and a slice of watermelon for thirteen cents.

After luncheon a place is iound in a home where the mistress, who is willing to take a newcomer, is much pleased to find her so pretty and teachable. She feels it will be wise to send the girl to the cooking school of the Minneapolis Y. W. C. A., where .he enters a maids ' class and finds 255 other you ng women enrolled in the three sections of general cookery, invalid cookery, and se rving courses. She improves rapidly and wishes she had time to join the evening gymnasium class and be one of the 400 girls who walk so st raight and have sllch fun on frolic evenings. One evening a week she goes to the se wing class and is one of 391 girls who here learn to embroide r, to sew, to make their own dresses, and their hat s.

She become s acquainted with girls in the educational classes who go and come when she does, and hopes some time to join that travel cla ss the girls talk so much about, where every year they visit some new country in pictures and interesting talks. Of course, she never expects to join the French or German classes o r the voice culture cla ss. Once s he wa lk ed into the class room where foreigner s were learning English, and found it was only one of the many clas ses which 108 girls attend in the evenings just to learn English The arithmetic and bookkeeping papers were on the wall, and she saw from the names that some of her new friends were working in these clas ses and had never told her. They had forgotten she did n ot know .

Her mistress, who i s a member of the social committee, tells her of the good times for all the girls who have the time and the inclination . There is the tennis club of 43 Y. W. C. A. girls; the rowing club at Lake Harriet, where 181 girls in the 45 rowboats on summer evenings once a week make the lake shimmer with their many-colored Japane se lantern s strung from boat to boat.

The dearest privilege is the Bible study. Here 325 girls, at convenient hours, meet in groups under trained leaders, learning to apply Christ's teaching in their everyday tasks. Our country girl is fast becoming a typical city girl, but she has many department s of the Y. W. C. A. to learn of , which have never been explained to her , espec ially extension work in the factories. The

beautiful rest room and luncheon r OOI11 of the North Branch Y. W. C. A. in the wholesale district of Minneapolis she hope s to vi sit on some vacation day.

She ha s learned that any girl of good moral character is admitted to the Y. W. C. A. so lel y o n her merits. She ha s a sisterly intere st in the 3404 members, whose united effort has made it possible to maintain the organization which opened its doors to her, a stranger, which wa s the mean s of developing her character morally, mentally, and spiritually. She is an exponent of Y. W. C. A. methods, which prepare a girl to become, and to help others to become, more capable and noble in every sphere of life. She is happy that her one dollar membership fee and her class fee are a part of the $40,000 needed each year to finance the work of the Association, the introduction to which marked the turning-point in her life when, as a simple country girl , she came for the first time a s tranger to a s trange city.

When I came to the University of Cincinnati as general sec retary of the Young Women's O1ristian Association, after a year of graduate work at the University of Michigan , I was impres sed b y the peculiar government of the schoo l.

dents of Cincinnati, it can ea s ily be seen that thi s univer s ity would have a type of student life all it s own, with unique opportunities and limitation s .

The univer s ity reaches many typical co llege girls who could and would go away to s chool but who , for s pecial reasons, cannot leave their h ome s. It also reache s a different type ,the young woman who is capable, ambitious, and has splendid possibilities, but who, perhap s for financial reason s, cannot go away to college. Her opportunity is here.

In an institution of this kind there can be no campus life, very little college spirit, and s till le ss tradition and lfatmosphere" -those thing s which, tho ugh intangible, co mprise such a large part of r ea l college life. The Association is trying to su pp lement the university by s upplying the thing s which the institution cannot possibly give under existing condition s .

I shall try to give you a brief sketch of our work and how it is don<. The girls have a large r oom in the main building that is used for study in g, vi sitin g, and resting. Each girl goes through this room s everal time s a day as it leads to the locker room and gymnasium. I have a desk in this room , and it is in thi s very place , often full of noise and confusion, that some of ou r best work is don e. Here I get acquainted with all the girls, tho se who are member s of the Association and th ose who are not. Of the latter are a large number of Jews. Here I am available for help, advice . or confidential talk s ; he re the dean of women can lind me when she want s my help in her plan s fo r the girls. I can't tell you what a privilege and pleasure it is to be a sort of big siste r to the girls in thi s simple way.

This, however, is only part of our work. VVe try to cooperate with the university in solving the class room problems by developing an interest in and sentiment for cla ss room ho nor and high scholarship . 'Ve approach the phys ical side of the problem from the point of view of clean. normal. Chri stian living and good personal habit s

The social problem is on e of the mo s t difficult . The A ssociation alone s tands for a soc ial spirit and life for all th e univer s ity women. Other organizations. th e sororities, of which there are three , on e national and two locals. the literary society, and the club r ea ch part o f the girl s, but it i< left to the A ssoc ia-

The key t o the problem li es in a few well planned functi o ns, which bring the young women togethe r in a social wa y so that the less developed girls meet with the stronger ones who hav e had morc opportuniti es for c ultur e; thi s h elp s to uni fy the co llege spirit a lr eady exi st ing , to create mo r e, and to de vel op th e true idea o f socia l life a s a relationship, not a se ri es of fun c tions.

The other part of our work is to h elp develop the r eligious s ide of a g irl 's life, to add the inspiration, the motive for ce indispensable to eve r y life that is to be a power in the world, whi c h so o ft en neither church nor ho me life has brought out. Eac h week we have a devot ional meeting, discussing some ques tion o f intere st to t he girls, such as cla ss room hon or, s tuden t government, S un day study, Con sumers' League, city and foreign mis s io ns, etc. La st year we had four intere st ing Bible classes and two missi on s tudy cla sses; o ne dealt with immigratio n a n d the problem s o f the cit y, a n d sh o wed the girl s ho w provi ncial and uninformed college stu dents may be.

Our Y. W C. A. has not yet solved it s problem s along any line, but we are working at them.

ASSOCIATION WORK IN VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY'

By MAUDE B. CoUE'IT

(Miss Corbett is a member of :\Iichigan Alpha and was graduated from Hillsdale College in 191)2 . While in college she wu presidenl of the Y. W. C. A' I secretary of the Athletic Association and valedictorian of her class . Since graduation she has taught in high schools and studied, receiving the degree of M.A . from the University of Michigan in 1907. Since the fall of 1907 s h e has been general secretary at Valparaiso University, VaJparaiso, Indiana.]

Valparaiso University is locate d in a town of less than JO,OOO inhabitants in the northwestern part of Indiana. It is a cosmopolitan school, with students coming from all parts of the world . A la rge number of them have had little or no high school work; many come from the country districts where trey left school in the lower grades.

Upon approaching the university one notices at once the absence of a campus . The buildings are on the st reet at regular and irregular distances for several blocks, with dwelling houses, stores, and dormitories scattered aloog among them. For this reason they do not present the best appearance and produce a distinct sense of disappointment.

The seco nd thing that will probably attract attention is the number of large, long, bare buildings scattered about. These are the dormitories. For the most part they have a long, narrow hall with suites of rooms opening on either side. With few exceptions, both men and women room in the same dormito ry and on the same floor. None of them ha s a parlor or reception room . All guests are entertained in the student's apartment, whether it is a single room or a suite. There is a constantly increasing feeling against these conditions, but with the everchanging student body it is di ffi cult to crystallize public opinion into action.

I ThOR interHted in tbis remarkable and unique ce nter o f learning should read an article by Citorge Kennan in McCJtlt'r'$ MOlo';", for March, 1908 which was com· mented on in tb e O"twol of March 21, 190 8.

THE ARROlV

Another peculiar feature abo ut the sc hool is that there are no vacation s. The year is divided into four terms of twelve weeks each, one term closing on Thursday and the next beginning on Tuesday. The month of August is vacation time for the regular students, but work continues even during that time for those who wi s h it. Christma s Day is the on ly general holiday.

The day, 100 , is a long one. B reakfast is at 6 o'clock . Classes begin at 6 :30 and continue until noon , then again from I to 6, and from 6 :30 to 8. No time is set apart for recreation, and as the s tudents board and room as near the university building s as possible, no exercise of any value is obtained in going to and from classes. There is no gymnasium for either men or women, although there is great need for one.

Because of the long day, and since no time is planned for social life, there is very little o f it. For the most part the students have to depend upon the state soc ieties for it. These are made up of students from a state and meet u s ually eve ry two weeks. A program of some so rt is provided , then comes the social part of the evening, which consists of game s This organization by states is, of course, very artificial and the result s are not especially gratifying. Regular fun ctions such as one expects to find in any college are wanting h ere . One reason for this may be that t her e are no classifications as freshman, sophomo re, junior, and senior; the students are grouped according to their work. So on the whole the re is little class or school spirit.

The field for Association work is both limit ed and limitless. The work of the general sec retary is very interesting and correspondingly difficult. In a college or univers ity where the large majority of stude nts remain for four years it is possible to train girls for office and committee work; but here, where we consider ourselve s fortunate if we can find enough capable girls who expect to remain two or three terms to fill the cabinet positions, the girl wh o is capable and willing is seized upon and put into a position of respon sibility. A girl may never have been in a Y. W. C. A. until she comes here , and she may be chosen as chairman of a committee, or even as president at once because she ha s qualitie s of leadership. Such a thing happened thi s summe r . .Ye needed a president. A girl came who had

ASSOCIATION WORK AT VA L PARAISO 15

had good training in Chri stian work, who was attractive and capable o f leade rship. She was to be here for a yea r , but knew nothing of Association work. Befo r e she had been here a month she was elected president.

It is easy to see from instances of thi s kind what the general secretary must do. She must plan the committee work almost entirely. and then keep careful watch to see that th e chairman carries out thi s work. O ft en a comm ittee is left without a head, or, at the end of some term , the chairman without a committee j then the general secretary must help out. There are many things here that she must do , because of the constant change of the student body, that a secretar y would not do in othet instituti ons. But possibly this adds zest to the position .

The girls are very respon s ive. and as they have time are willing and ready to help. Of course their lack of training in Association wor k is a great hind ran ce to their greatest useful· nes s, but they learn rapidly.

The work that we have been trying especially to do here has been religious, social. and, for want of a bette r name, socio logical. Our religious work is about the same as that carried on in any college or univ ersity-religious meetings , Bible and mission study. personal work, cabinet and committee work. As there 3re no Bible cou r ses given by the sc hool, ou r Bible study work ha s been especia ll y st r ong We find it impos sible to secure trained leaders. so the work has been entirely in st udent hands.

Our social work has been productive of good result s, although it has not been all that we might wish. Many girls have said that the best times they have had in Va lpara iso have been at Association affairs. A majority of th e girls come from the country or from the small town , and so know little of social life. W e have tried to give all the gi rl s the best kind of soc ial life. For this reason man y are beginning to und e rstand the difference between a boisterou s frolic and fun of the best kind, and then to pre fer the latter.

In the third pha se of our work, the soc iological, we are trying by influence , by keeping the matter constantly before the student body in order to create student sentiment, and by direct appeal to the management , to secure segrega tion in rooming hou ses and dormitories, and parlor s and reception rooms for

THE A RR OW

e ntertalnmg callers and visitors, so that the girls will not be compelled to u se their own room s for th at purpo se.

A dean of women wh o wiII hav e charge o f the g irl s and of t he hous ing problem is a necessity . This year a woman h as been engaged for general supervi sion of the girl s, but with no authority as a member o f the faculty. T hi s, h owever, i s a step in th e right direction.

This term we hav e o pe ned a room which serves as office fo r the A ssociation and r ead ing and rest room f o r the gi rl s. Of course we are looking forward to the tim e when w e shall have an As soc iation building with all its equipme nt , but at present we want OUI" modest room to be of actual service to the girls in creating a real spirit o f fell ow ship, an d in putting the Y. W C. A befo re them in its practi cal as w ell as spiritual place. We are also pla nning talk s on moral, social, and physiological subj ect s for this yea r.

O UT work is not done as that in other universities a nd colleges; there is an irregularity about it which could eas il y be overcome under other co ndition s , but at pre se nt it seems unavoidable. W e have a fine class of girl s, and because o f the limitations of the college they need more than girls in ot her places , except possibly in the n o rmal sc h ools.

I know of n o work th a t is more fascinating than that o f a s tud ent secretary. In training yo ung women fo r work in city, in college, in indu s trial lines , in chur ch, the st u de nt sec reta ry well justifies h e r exis t e nce. A work of this k ind makes a woman more k ee nly a liv e, it broadens her sy mpathie s . In schools like Valparaiso, where t he student body is almost ephemeral, ther e is great need o f some one who shall be the co nstant quantity , to have c harge o f the As sociat ion work.

The name o f the Young Women's Christian Association means to many a student simply the Association in her own college or university, but no one can truly measure the significance of an individual Association who does not consider it in relation to the five hundred and sixty other student Associations which form a part of the Young Women's Christian Associations of the United State s of America, for each Association member is but one of the 46,659 st u dents forming the national body, and the life of the individual Association is a part of the vital strength of a movement which includes the students of the whole country. During the undergraduate days, when so many interests press in upon every student, it is necessary for one to pause that she may conside r the larger aspects of this Christian movement a mong stude nts in order to consider justly its claims upon herse lf. It is undoubtedly true that no organ izati o n can report as many undergraduate women s tudents in its membership as can the Young Women's Christian Association, but it is possible to go deepe r than this and to say that the Association has in a peculiar way united students for: a single purpose, that of upholding the highest ideals of student life, and its genuine religious objective ha s given an enthus ia sm to this moral purpose which has gripped the lives of tho se students.

The individual Associations, both in the colleges and in the cities, are given a voice in the national movement through their delegates at the biennial convention. Here the policies for work a re decided upon and the members of the National Board are elected This board acts as the executive for the national organization in carrying out its policies, and th e membership of the board includes women from all parts of the country, but as the headquarters is in New York the larger part of the membership is resident in that city. Since a constant contact with the Associations over the entire country is necessary in order to make any national policy effective, the board employs secretaries who give their entire time to its work. And since tbe Association as it works in schools, in colleges, and in cities must have many departments of activity, the National Board members -and its national secretaries necessarily spec ializ e along various lines .

THE ARROW

The department of most immediate intere st to O UT college women is the s tudent department. It is the responsibility of those in this department to study so carefully the student life of the country and the possibilities of the Associatio n that they should help each As sociation to a work which shall mean a more complete life for eve r y woman student. College days are so full of good things that at first there seems nothing lacking which is necessary to a complete life, but the student herself well knows th at these days are a time when intense pres sure in certain directions makes anything like a well-rounded Ii fe very difficult For example , we cannot call a life really comp lete, no matter how much o f cultu r e is entering into it through the study of history and literature, if the greate st Book in all literatures i s not contributing to its richness, and yet hardly a stude nt will fail to grant that there is a great temptation during the rush of college days to neglect the study of the Bible. We speak often of the great opportunities that are ours during co llege days to become acquainted with men and women of high id ea ls, and often go so far as to say that the contact with the people whom we meet during ou r st udent days is of more account to u s than all that we gain from our books and o ur laboratories; and if thi s be true, surel y no life is complete that is not being brought constant ly in contact with the One who is revealed through the Word of God. It is no t the ru sh of work only that makes Bible stud y difficult , but it is often th e fact that ou r ideas of the univer se are so changing that it becomes d ifficult for us to know just how we can relate the truths of the Bible w ith the truths that we are discovering along many lines. Thus the student department of the National Board is confronted constantly with the necessity of developing the right sort of Bible work in the student Associations. One of its secretaries who has been specially trained along Biblica l lines gives her entire attention to thi s important departmen t of work. It is obviou sly impossible for her to visit a large number of Associations, but through her contact with state and general secreta ri es, through her work in conferences and conventions, through correspondence, and by definite work in a few picked Associations, she is able in a r eal way to strengt hen the Bible study work in the entire country; and while it woul d be impossible to mea sure in any accurat e way

th e result of such effort , we can be sure that a more complete and perfected life fo r many students is thus in sured .

The very isolation of students from the o r dinary inte rests and activities of the world makes necessary the study of the social and religion s movement s of to-day, and the Association, through its cla sses in soc ial service, and home and fo re ign miss ion s, is attempting to ke ep th e s tudents in co ntact with the currents of modern life. "Vhen the location of a university pennit s, the Association can coo perate in se ttlem ent and mission work. The s tudent often need s to be arou sed regarding the social life of her own univ ersity, for it is humiliating to see how the great soc ial evils o f o ur time are found in miniature in many of OUT univer s ity communities . A Chri stian organization of students must recognize its r esponsibility to develop a wholeso me social life in the univer sit y, and it is o ften true that a movement can be initiated by the students themselves which could come into being in no other way. A complete life will not be possible to any woman until th e whol e life of the student bod y is controlled by the principle s of the One who ca me that we might have life abundant. No thing les s than genuine work for the highe st life of the co llege community will properly fit a student to take her rightful place a s a leader in the world whic h she enter s after graduati o n.

While the un derlyi ng principle s of th e work in each Association are the same, the needs of women students in the country compel the national workers to a careful study of the various institutions of higher learning in the country that they may help each Association so t o fit into t he student community as reall y to mini ster to its life. This is no small task when we consider that there are stude nt Associations in women's colleges , in denominational coll eges, in state universities , in preparatory sc hools. in medical and profes sional sc hools, in normal schools, and a few eve n in our high sc h oo ls. The different types of institution s are being studied. a s it is necessary that the Association shall be flexible eno ugh to meet the peculiar need s of each. It may be that we rarel y think of the colored s tudents of this country, btlt their needs have not been forgotten by the nati ona l organization, and a young woman who is a graduate o f one of these colored schools i s now to work am ong them.

THE ARROW

Cio oely related to the student work is the depa rtment which has ch a rge of th e summe r confe rences. If the leaders of the local A ssociations are to work with a large vision , it is necessary for them to hav e some chance to come into contact with the life 1)£ other Association s, and to have some special training for their " service. The summer conferences, in which the stu dents meet for ten days of study and of counsel together, give this necessary :preparation to Association leade rs ; and these gatherings have :proved so attractive to the st udent body in general that many who have had no special place o f leadership in the Association have been glad to take ten days out of their vacation for the stu dy and the recreation which the confe rences afford. There w e re four s tudent conferences held this past year: at Silver Bay, N. Y.; Cascade, Colo.; Lake Geneva, Wis.; and Mountain Lake Park, Md.; and the total attendance amounted to 1,299. In addition to these th ere were three general co nferenc es which rec eived delegates from both city and student Associations: A s heville, N. c.; Seaside, Ore.; and Capitola, Cal.; and to these 572 students came We can gain some co ncepti on of the momentum of this student movement when we consider what it means for hundreds of women to go into the st udent centers of our country with spec ial equipment in Bible study, in mission study, in Association work, and with that inspiration which come s fr om hearing leading ministers o f our country speak upon things of spi ritual import. Then there is that quickening of eve r y source of our life which comes from the contact with those who share with us a common purpose. Many a girl has taken from the conference as her strongest impression 11 0 t the words that she ha s heard from a speaker, but the inspiration from the normal Christian life which she ha s shared with scores of college girls during their days together.

To chronicle what the student Association has accomplished in this countr y is impossible. We might quote the number of women who have been in spi red to some definite religious wo r k as secretaries of the A ssociation or missionaries at home or abroad , but no one can tell the number of women who to-day as teachers, physicians , artists, literary women and , perhaps most important of all , as women in the home, are living a life which

A GLIMPSE OF THE INDUSTRIAL WORK

By PEARL ARCHIBALD

[Miss Archibald is a member of Nebraska Beta and rece ive d her degree from Nebraska University in 1906. She was vice-president and president of the college association; a delegate to three conferences besides th e Student Volunteer Convention at Nashville; captain of the Girls' Glee Club and of the Women's senior and 'Varsity basket-ba1l teams and a member of the junior and senior secret societies. The year after Jraduation sbe assisted the industrial secretary o f the territo ria l committee for New York and New Jersey and in the fall of 1907 succeeded to that pos ition which she now ho lds. 1

Th e indu strial work recently undertaken with marked success by the national board of the Y. W. C. A. is known a s the In d u strial and Extension Department because the work is carried on among the yo ung women employed in t he industrial world, and is in r eality a work that extends out from the Association building. The Young Women's Christian Association is a great democratic organizat ion working to develop the all-round woman. It aims to develop the physical, spiritual, social, and intellectual nature s of its various members-the employee, the college graduate , the high school gi rl , the girl of the leisur e class, and the woman in the home.

The need for su ch an organization is attested by the hundreds and thousands of women who come to the Association's building seeking its advantage s . Yet there are thousands of emp loyed women whom we wi sh to reach , whom we should reach and yet do not reach. This failure of the A ssociation can be readily understood when one realize s that most industrial employees live the busiest of lives, that they often live long distances from the central building, that many harbor a prejudice against the Association, believing it to be a charity, and that many have never heard of it and never would were it not bro ught to their very doors.

Because of their home environment and the drudgery of their everyday lives, these girls from mills , factories, and department sto res would receive especial benefit fr om the privileges of the

Y. w. C. A. if they co uld be brought into touch with it. It is pitiful to hear , as I hav e often heard, a girl, who se home life mu st be shared with persons c rassly immoral and povertystricken, say that she has worked every day for eight, or perhaps thirteen years at the same mill and the same machine, and then to look in her eyes and see the light gone out and in its stead a co ld , morbid, despairing stare Surely, the Y. W. C. \. sh oul d reach these girls

The need is for a woman of ability to take to these gir ls what th ey cannot or will not come to get for themselves. Thu s developed the industrial and extension secretaryship of the Y. W. C. A., a di stributing agency througho ut indu s trial centers of a given city, which can best be likened to a delivery wagon. This department has been established in many o f ou r large manufacturing cities, but ha s reached its highest development in the mill villages of the South and factory cities of the East, wher e speciali sts have been working.

Though the fundamental principles are the same, the work in 11 0 two factories is alike . The manager who feels keenly th e need s of his ope rative s is eager to undertake work for them that can be conducted in the factory itself . Through the s ugge stion of th e Y. W. C. A., a secretary is installed who gives her enti r e time to stu dying the need s of the gi rl s Generally the most imperative need is for a luncheo n room and re st room, managed and run by the girls themselves-illustrating th e prin cip le on which all our work is based , that it is a work with girls, for girls. by girl s . Some so rt ot club is immediately fanned among th e girls which, through the appropriation made b y the firm, is able to provide its own secretary . She is a trained leader, not connected with the firm, who understands how to o rganize women to attempt work for each other. The employees, to work Sl1ccessfuiJy, must fe el that the organization is their s and that they are re sponsible for its success. The fact that the work is undertaken from the standpoint of the girls, not from that of the firm, appeals to the employer who may o ften have tried to help employees only to learn that the y "dont want his coffee; if he can give a free cup of coffee , why don't he raise the wages?"

The employees' club is affiliated with the Y. \V. C. A. In reality, its purpose is more than to manage a luncheon room in a

factory; it is to develop the gi rl s ph ysically , in t e llectually, spirituall y, and soci ally. With the advice o f the sec retar y the g irl s are able to execute plan s fo r varied activities , all of which aTC carri ed out in th e luncheon room o r re s t room at the fa cto ry.

The pri nc ip le of supp ly and demand is practi sed, and the girls have o nl y what t h ey ask fo r a n d want. Strange to say, the Bible cl asses are th e mo st popu la r and have th e la rge s t attend a nce. One even in g will be devoted to the Bible class , another to t h e glee club and gymnasium, a nother to dressmaking a nd millin ery. At n oon half h o ur classes a re held in poste r making, leath e r tooling, embro ide r y, and the like. You would enjoy peeping in at some of the rou sing partie s which 3 Te crowded int o th e noon h alf h o ur : a turkey hunt h e ld at Thank sgiving, o r an April Fool's dinner , o r a party he ld du ring the wo rld 's We e k o f Prayer where the gi rl s in cos tum e representing different co untri es came to rea lize that they wef e a pa rt o f a worldwide movement.

The greater part o f the work is do ne, howeve r, in a s maller way by the sec retar y. o ur "delivery wagon ," wh o visits th e d ifferent fa c to ri es at the noo n ho ur , ca rr ying o ut our fo urfo ld plan as the girls sho w desire. With her she takes some o n e t o s ing o r read. At other time s a nur se o r physician talks on tubercul os is, prompt aid to th e injured , hyg ien e, o r vent il ation. Often the g irl s will gather at one e n d of the factory room s, seated on machinery, o r wa s te, o r o ld boxe s. A secretary who was to talk at noon reached the factory , and se eing a row of boxes arrange d in a circle, said , "What doe s this mean?" And an old lad y spoke up: " Well, if ye z can take the time to come 'wa y up he re to talk to u s, the lea s t we ca n do is to offer box sea ts."

But what are th e actual benefits to the gi rl, w h a t vital h e lp does sh e receive individually , a nd are there la sting result s , you a sk ? Let me give you a typi ca l illu stration. This especial pottery is in a larg e manufact uring cit y in the Eas t. In the bes t o f potterie s conditi o n s are anything but ideal ; in this olle the y couldn't be worse.

their hea ds to th e makeshift shoes on their feet. They looked as if the y had been rolled in fl o ur ; their eyebrows, e ven the fringes of hair that projected from their caps, were white from t he cloud of flint dust that always fill s the room. It seems almost incredible that girls could be as de pra ved as these girls were when first the sec re tary visited the pottery. T h e ir profanity was like that of the lowest m en ; their fa miliarity a nd conversation with the men was pitiabl y repul s ive. For several months , when the secretary held weekly noon meetings with a few girls, she had to meet t he wat er and broken dishe s that inva riably cam e through the air, and shouting, singing, and vul ga r talk which almost forced her to leave A year later I visited the pottery with her o ne n oon and sto pped to speak to two women who were mechanicall y knocking the imperfection s fr om the dishe s. "Do you know that lady that comes here e ver y week a n d goes up to them girls up s tair s? A in ' t she s weet and love ly?" said one o f them. "D o you know," she co ntinu ed, "I be li eve she's mesmerized th e m gi rl s for t hey's so changed." And in deed they were , for they now have a sm all club which is very active; mo st of them belong to a Bible class and to a gymnasium class; at th ei r weekly noon meetings one of them plays th e wh eez ing , sq u eaking, ba by organ a nd th ey sing hymns until the old walls sh ake Eac h month th ey have their " grand" party a nd they are a happy lot o f girls.

THE CHU R CH F RO M THE SO CIA L VIEWP OI NT

BY THE R£VER£ND MECCA MAR[E VARNEY

[The Reverend Mecca Marie Doughty Varn ey. who is a member of IUinois Beta, the degree of Bachelor of Divinity from Lombard College in 1902 . On June 18, J89s. Miss Doughty was married to the Reverend Charles E . Varney, and (or a time ably assisted her hu sban d in his pastoral work. Since September, 1907. Mrs. Varney has been pastor of the Christian church, Paw Paw, :\1aple Lake, Mich . ]

There is no institution better able to deal with social problems than the Church of Christ. The problem is to awaken the church to its vast pos sibi litie s. We see it clinging t o old methods. fa iling to utilize its enormous power. Yet this in s titution should be recognized as supreme in the midst of the social problem s o f the hour, for the teachings o f Christ properly interpreted lay the foundati o n for individual , social , and civic improvement. The church, based on principles of social helpfulnes s and of association on the basis o f brotherl y love, should include all cla sses in its membership-th e Christian and the sinner. For we must acknowledge the pre se n ce of the imperfect in the group, and no longer claim sainthood through church membership .

The fi r st business of the church is to preach the gospel in an unhesitating fashion, the second task is to put the gospel into actua l life by arousing Christian activity in individual s and in the church as a group.

The early Christians were together in one place . of one accord. This social life of th e church group must be emphasized. The church must become the social center of the neig h borhood This naturall y means an equipment similar to the Young Men's or Young Women's Christian Association, or the social settlements. Many churches do not pos sess this equipment and possibly never will, ye t church and state mu st make the country attractive, and the church must lead. However. the moment a chu r ch activity ca n be pa ssed on to the school , o r t he village, or the s tate, the church should yield that activity and assume leadership in another fi eld. Why do we ad opt s uch usefu l methods in OUT mission work as medical dispensaries. ki ndergarten wo rk , and industrial training , and then neglect these sa me methods in ou r esta blished churches?

REPORT OF INTERSORORITY CONFERENCE 31

Motion carried that the chai r appoint a committee on recommendations to which all r ecommendatio ns in report s should be referred. Committee: Delta Gamma, Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Then followed the report of Miss Smith, Pi Beta Phi, secretary of the conference , 1907-08. Her summary of the yea r' s work follow s:

J. SECRETARy'S REPORT

During the year just closing, the advance in interfraternity relations has been manifest in two noteworthy instances . First , no complaint o r Pan-Hellenic difficulty has been brought to the notice of the secretary of the Intersorority Conference for investigation. Second, no group of chapters has applied for admission to the Conference.

Eight hundred copies of the report of the Sixth Intersorority Confe rence were printed and distributed .Soon after the Sixth Conference, the Pan-Hellenic Association of Michigan sen t to the sec retar y a statement of the position of Sorosis, together with a request for special dispensation. The secretary sent to the G rand Presidents the following query: "Are you willing to grant a spec ial dispensation to your chapter at the University of Michigan, allowing them to pledge senior high schoo l girls?" All eight Grand P r es idents concerned agreed to grant the dispensation for the college year I907-08. The PanHell enic at Michigan was then notified that a special dispensation was granted it until the Seventh Int ersoro rity Conference convened.

Representatives of the Interso rority Con ference were invited to meet with the Conference of Deans of Women in State Universities for one session, Friday afternoon, December 20. Each fraternity was notified of the meeting and sent a representative when possible. (A report o f this joint meeting appears elsewhere in this report. )

The question of pledge day seems by no means settled; some schools which have had a late pledge day even agreed to try matriculation day for next year. In view of the difference of opinion upon this question and considering how thoroughly the matter has been discus sed, o ne delegate makes a timely suggestion that attention be turned to the ameliorat ion of faulty condition s common to all fraternities .

THE ARROW

According to the direction of the Sixth Conference , Lillian Thompson, Gamma Phi Beta, compiled and distributed a report on the pre sent condition of Pan-Helle nic s in the United States, a most valuable article for the u se of all chapter s

Later a letter was written to info nn alumnre more definit ely in r egard to the purposes of the Inter so rority Confe r ence . Four hundred copies of this were printed and distributed.

As directed by the Sixth Conference, the secretary h as printed 200 blanks for presenting matter s for the vote o f G ran d Presidents.

The secretary has h ad constant demand fo r the name s of secretarie s of Pan-Hellenics. S he had printed 500 blanks to be filled with nam e, addres s and frat e rnit y of Pan-Hellenic secre tar y. These blanks were sent to colleges and returned so th at there is now on file for the u se of the incoming secretary a comp lete li st of Pan-Hellenic secretaries.

The manner of exchange of ma gaz in es ha s proved un satisfactory.

Motion carried to accept the repor t of the sec retary.

SECOND SESSION

Thi s sess ion was called to order at 9 :30 A.'I., Saturday , September 12 , 19oB.

I. PAN-HELLENIC AT WIS CONS I N

Kappa Kappa Gamma , the comm ittee on Pan - Hellenic co nditions at Wisconsin State University, conti nu ed by th e Sixth Conference, reported a s fo llows :

Since Wisc on si n State U niversity is providing adequat e supervised home s for it s women students, and, since Interscho la stic has been abolished, there is no pressi ng reason for continuing to pledge preparatory students at Wisconsin. Moreover, some fraternity chapter s there n o longer de sire to pledge preparato ry student s. The Wisconsin Pan-Hellenic ha s pre se nted no peti t ion for r enewal of its expired dispensa ti on.

In view of this report, the Seventh Intersorority Conference is proud to announce tha: henceforth Wisconsin fraternit y c hapters will conform to the Intersoro r ity Co nference rule prohibiting the ple dg ing o f non-matriculate s.

2. PAN-HELLENICS

The committee upon present condition of Pan-Hellenics presented its report-which was printed and distributed to the Conference fraternitie s early in 1goB. Attention was called to the fact that the variation in time of opening of ou r colleges-from August first to October first-results in some cases in longer compacts than the report's enumeration by date of pledge day makes evident.

Motion carried to accept this report with hearty appreciation of Miss Thompson 's fine work.

3. INTER SORORITY CONSTITUTION

Alpha Omicro n Pi reported an affirmative vote upon the proposed constitution. As all the other represented fraternities had endorsed this constitution at the time of the Sixth Conference , a motion wa s carried that the official organization for Intersorority Conference shall be the constitution as printed in report of the Sixth Conference

4. PAN-HELLENIC AT MICHIGAN

A petition for a renewal of it s spec ial dispensation to pledge preparatory students was presented by the Michigan State University Pan-Hellenic.

Since the local Sorosis continues to refu se to coo perat e in the abolishment of such pledging, it was deemed expedie nt that this dispensation be ren ewed, in order not to handicap the nationals at Michigan.

Motion carried that this Conference recommend to the Grand Presidents of fraternities represented at Michigan State U niversity, that a dispensation be granted to the Michigan Pan-Hellenic for one year, provided that only senio rs in the hi gh sc hool s be pledged and that the pledge be withdrawn if the pledged girl does not enter the University one year fr om the September following the pledging; this dispensation to expire September, 1909.

Motion carried that the Intersorority Conference secretary convey to the Michigan Pan-Hellenic our since re congratulations upon the progress of Pan-Hellenic ideas in its University.

5. EXCHANGE OF FRATERNITY MAGAZINES

This subject was fully discussed. There was unanimou s ag reement that the pre se nt plan of exchange is un sat isfactory and that the ideal plan of exchange with all chapters is imprac-

tical because o f expense. It was reported that the chapters of some fraternities subsc ribe for the magazines of other fraternities , and also that some Pan-Hellenics do the same. The following action was taken concerning exchanges:

Carried that the Intersorority Conference sec retary prepare a journal exchange list, said list to include three national officers of each Intersoro rity Conference fraternity (these thr ee officials, in each case, to be designated by their fraternity), and the delegate s to the Intersorority Conference, and that this official exchange list be sent each fraternity editor, who shall be responsible for the mailing of h er magazi ne to all addresses on the list.

Motion carried that each fraternity edit o r put th e library of every univ ers ity , where her fraternity is repres ented, on her mailing list and notif y her chapter s of these fraternity libraries ; this library exchange to supplant the former Pan-H ellenic exchange.

Carried th a t each fraternity editor be asked t o keep a n a cc urate li st during 19oB-og o f the subsc riptions received fro m Pan-Hellenic s and from chapters of other fraternities, and, through her Inter so rority delegate, submit a re po rt of th e sa me to the next Inter so r orit y Conference. Each fraternity is asked to suggest to it s chapters the value of sub sc ribing for other fraternit y magazine s.

6. DEANS' CONFERENCE

Th e following report from the Conference of Inter so rorit y delegates with Deans of Women in December, 1907, was s ubmitted :

The Deans of W omen o f State Universities were in subs tantial agreement o n th e foll o wing topic s of interes t to fratern ity w ome n :

C"apero ll s .-The office shou ld be dignified by better de finition , and more authority . O ne way of doing this is to mak e the chaperon a membe r of th e commi ttee o f the ch apter, whose duty it is to formulate s uit able house rule s, and to secure their observan ce. Such a committee s hou ld be of great assistance to a chapter in de te rminin g it s soc ia l activ itie s, e tc.

Rlishillg -This way of recru itin g the chapters i s deplo red. Soph omo r e pledging is approved , and a scholar ship standard of eligibili ty is advocate d

REPORT OF INTERSORORITY CONFERENCE 35

Porties.-The use of university buildings for parties is advised wllerever this is possible, as o ppo sed to clubs and halls not located on the campus.

Scholarsh ip.-The practice of some fraternities in securi ng from the Dean s periodic reports of individual grades for each chapter is believed to encourage scholarship.

Visiting Delegates.-The Dean s are glad t o meet them, and welcome conferen ces with them early in their v isit s to their respective chap ter s.

This report was followed by a discussion of chapter hou ses and chaper o ns. Mrs. Tennant reported her list of eligible chaperons as very small, but that, if a sma ll sa lary was connected with the position, more chaperons would be available.

Motion carrie d that the chairman appoint a committee to cons ider with Deans of Women the position of the fraternity chaperon in college life, also the functions and qualification s of chaperon. Committee: Alpha Chi Omega, Gamm a Phi Beta, Chi Omega.

Adjourned for the annual luncheon of Intersorority Conferenc e delegates. The luncheon was at the College club , which kindly gave us the use of their rooms for our la st session.

THIRD SESSION

The sess ion opened with a co ntinua tio n of the disc u ssio n of the meeting of fraternity wom en and Dean s. Particular attention was called to the fact that the Deans h ad co ncurred with former Interso rority Conferences in recommending a Sophomore pledge day.

Motion carried that the Seventh Intersorority Con ference again urge a late pledge day, preferably a Sophomore pledge day.

The committee on recomme n dations then presented it s report , which included all recommendations fr om delegates' repo"s to the first session.

7. PAN-HELLENIC RECO:MMENDATIONS

The fo llowin g recommendations are su bmitted to local PanH ellenics with the request that each Pan-Hellenic give them careful cons ideration, and, as far as practical , adopt the principl es of each r ecommendatio n.

A. Every Pan-Hellenic MUST conform to the by-law that requires eac h fraternity chapter to be represented in Pan-Hellenics

THE ARROW

by one ac tive and one alumna member. It is urged that alumna! members be chosen with great care . Women se veral years out of college, who are in close touch with their university's and their chapter' s life , and in sympathy with Intersorority Conference ideas and work-upon which they should be well informedshould be chosen fo r these pos itions. A long tenure of office for efficient alumnre members is also deemed advisable.

B. Pan-Hellenics are urged to adopt a rule requiring definite scholarship attainment in the university, as a qualification for eligibility to fraternity membership.

C. We recommend to Pan-Hellenics that they endeavor to re s trict the expense, number and duration of social functions and engagements by women's fraternities as far as is compatible with local co nditions.

D. We suggest that Pan-Hellenics be careful not to create feeling between fraternity and non-fraternity college women through too many or through inopportune Pan-Hellenic meeting s and function s.

E. Pan-Hellenics are urged to avoid all public press notoriety and to endeavor alway s to keep the respect of their university and town communities.

F. We strongly recommend that each Pan-Hellenic have some general meetings to which ALL frat ernity member s are invited and allowed to take part in discussions-meetings to read and discuss Intersorority Conference reports, shortcomings of our last compact, effects of a Sophomore pledge day in our college , etc.

G. Since at the University of Wisconsin an organization of the resident alumna! of all fraternities has proved most helpful in solving fraternity and university problems concerning rushing, socia l life , etc ., it is the consensus of opinion in this Conference that a similar organization would prove helpful in every university where fraternities are represented. It is therefore suggested that in each Pan-Hellenic the alumna! members take the initiative in fonning such an organization for their college .

8. FRATERNITY RECOMMENDATIONS

Th e fOllowing recommendations are submitted to each fratemity with the hope that each Grand President will urge their adoption in the policies of her fraternity:

REPORT OF INTERSORORITY CONFERENCE 37

A. That each fraternity hold its de legate responsible for the distribution of Intersorority Conference reports and papers, and also for the instruction of chapters in tbe use of the same.

B. That each fraternity include in its chapter examinations a question concerning the present procedure and possible penalty in case of the breaking of a Pan-Hellenic contract.

C. That each frat ernity, with ideal s of honor and faith in the integrity of others, empha size the se points in the policy of its chapters.

D. That each fraternity devise a method of informing its alumna: of Inter so rority Co nference principles and policies ) so that an alumna teaching in a preparatory schoo l may not thoughtle ssly take steps that will disrupt year s of cordial feeling among the fraternities in her Alma Mater.

E. That each fraternity instruct its visiting delegate to impress upon the chapter s the need not of a higher standard of scholarship than they already pos sess, but of a high standard irrespective of their pres ent standing

F. That each fraternity endeavor to make the position of chaperone in its chapter houses one of definite duties, powers and dignity. That if possible, the position s be filled by alumn., of experience and judgment.

9. INTERSORORITY RECOMMENDATIONS

A. That a committee be appointed to investigate the "no rushing policy" of the famous societies of Yale and Harva rd. Committee: Alpha Phi and Sigma Kappa.

B. That an enumeration of concrete result s of Intersorority be printed in each fraternity magazine; this enumeration be compiled by the secretary o f Intersorority Conference to insure uniformity.

Last spring we collected all the pictures of fraternity interest that had been in the last few years, and made a Pi Phi

Not only are the pictures themselves typical of the fraternity, but on the cover of the book is painted a Pi Phi design in arrows and carnations . We have found that all our visitors and the rushees have been very much intere sted in our kodak book.

IN MEMORIAM

SADIE J AeOBS-AN APPRECIATION

Not Iowa Zeta alone, but the whole Unive rsity of Iowa mourns the death of Sadie Jacobs, '06, in Denver, Colorado, August 27, 1908, after an illness of several months. We call her ours because from tbe time of her initiation into Pi Beta Phi in her fre shman year, March 29, 1903, she was a most lo ya l fraternity member; yet so actively was s he identified with every department of college life that the entire school claims her. Throughout her course she was the best known, most brilliant, most thoroughly loved and respected girl.

Her ability was sho wn in the many organizations in which she was prominent, in all of which she at some time held the presidency. Among these are the Erodelphian and Polygon literary societies; the Readeis and the Writers clubs, most excl usive organizations in which membership is based on superior qualifications in English; the Alliance f o r which excellence in French is a pre-requisite; and the Dramatic Club. For three years she starred in the Dramatic Club plays, as well as in those given annually by the Erodelphian society. She carried the role of Celia in "As You Like It ," the se nior c1ass play. He r parlor readings were in great demand among her friends. Beginning with her so phomore yea r , she served in the capaci ty of reader for the English department. It suffices to say of her work as a student that she was graduated at the head of the list of eligibles to Phi Bet Kappa, having in fact left the most brilliant record ever made in the university . Her original English work wa s thought to give remarkable promise for a literary career. In the social affairs of the school and town, she was prominent always, and her rontagious fun made her a leading factor in the good times we enjoyed as a fraternity.

The year following her graduatIon, 1906-7, she spent at her Alma Mater, as assistant in the department of Oratory and Expression. Iowa Zeta's joy at having her for another year was equaled only by the pride they took in her future achievements. In the fall of 1907 she accepted an instructorship in English in the Iowa State COllege of Science at Ames, resigning early in the spring of 1908, only after illness had made suc h inroads on her

stre ngth that even her superb will power could no longer sustain her at her work. A memorial service held in the Ames Chapel in September gave a worthy eulogy to her success as a teacher and her charm as a woman. Mention was made of the loss she would be to the work of the Young Women's Christian Association and ot h er branches of college life; also to I owa Ga mma with whom s he affiliated .

In sp ite of all the features of a career as remarkable a s it is brief, it is to Sadie as a friend and as a woman that Iowa Zeta would pay her highest tribute. Though the demands on her time were so great she never slighted her friends. She was fair in her estimates of people and h e r dealings with them. All who knew her remarked on her modest bearing in view of the su e· cesses which s he daily attained. Eac h honor seemed to come as a fresh surprise and was often discla im ed and s hared. . \ ke e n se nse of humor made her the cheerie st of comrades.

She lived the sunny side out. If she had dark hours-and who ha s not-no one was allowed to know it; though she at all times lived beyond her strength, no one ever heard her admit that s he was ti red. Her energy and enthusiasm seemed unfailing , and she threw herself into each new undertaking as if it were a plea sing adventu r e. To intrust her with any detail of work o r play was to have the certainty of its prompt and adequate fulfilment.

To Sadie, questions of right and wrong reso lved themselves into a very sim ple propos ition If right, it was to be fo llowed without hesitation; if wrong, it need not be co n s ide red . Only the nearest circle of her friends we re allowed a glimp se of a s ingularly sweet and unspoiled inner life She had the unquestioning faith of a child. Du r ing the latter years of her college course, s he became greatly interested in Bible s tudy, and did much research work in sa cred hi story. :\l eas ur ed by yea rs hers wa s a s hort life.

Evelyn Titcomb was born August 16, 1889. After her graduation from the high school in her home town she entered the University of Illinois and was initiated into Pi Beta Phi in October, 1907.

CORA F. PANNABAKER

Many hearts in Mt. Pleasant , the old home of Cora F. Pannabaker, were made sad by the news of her death, which occurred March 22, while she was on a visit to Chicago Park near Sacramento, Cal. Cora was the only daughter of Dr. J. S. Pannabaker and Lizzie Howe Pannahaker and was born in Mt. " sant, Iowa, December 3, 1862. Both parents died when she was quite young, after which she went to Chicago to make her home with her aunt, Frances Howe Newby, and cousin, Minnie Newby Rieketts. She graduated with highest honors from the Chicago high school, after which she fitted herself for teaching. Her grandfather, Prof. Samuel L. Howe, was one of the pioneer educators in Iowa and established Howe's Academy at an early day. After the death of her grandfather Cora returned to Mt. Pleasant to live and care for her aged grandmother and aunt, Mrs. Fluke, and for many years was the means of bringing much of sunshine and pleasure into the lives of these aged ladies.

During the years of her home here she was one of the leading teachers in the Baptist Sunday School, in the public school and in the academy then connected with Iowa Wesleyan University. She was a member of Gamma (now Iowa Alpha) chapter of Pi Beta Phi.

After the death of her grandmother Cora returned to Chicago to take up a special course in kindergarten work at Armour Institute. She then spent three years teaching kindergarten in Honolulu Mission School. Coming hack to the United States five years ago for a visit, she was persuaded to remain and accepted a position again in the Chicago schools.

The change from the tropical climate seemed to affect her health; she went West to teach at Linco ln, Neb ., then at Pueblo, Colo., and on account of steadily failing health gave up her cho sen work and was in Mont Clair Sanitarium, Denver , until, at the urgent request of her brother, Edward Pannabaker, she went to his home at Sacramento, Cal. Everything was done for her that could be done , but her decline was steady. It was her de sire to go over to Chicago Park, near by , for a little change and while there death came to her peacefully in her sleep.

EDITORIALS

The fraternity is indebted to Sophie P. Woodman of 1 ew York Beta for the compilation of Y. W. C. A. statistics and data given in this issue. This compilation involved a large amount of work. Perhaps no one in the fraternity is bett e r fitted for the task than Miss Woodman. She received the degree of A. B. from Barnard College in 1907. During her college course she was the first tree-day orator, the fir st steps orator, and chairman of the undergraduate so ng practice committee. She \vas pre sident of the Y. W. C. A. and a delegate to the Nashville Student Volunteer Convention and attended the Silver Bay Conference three times . For two yea rs she was managing editor of the Barnard Weekl y. At present she is a member of the board of directors of the Barnard A1umme Association and is cataloguer of that organization.

To set forth what the members of our fraternity are doing for social se rvice wa s the editor's plan for this is s ue of the ARROW. Upon investigation s he found that Pi Phis had shown s uch interest in variou s phases of social serv ice that one is sue would not contain mOTe than an outline of their activities. For instance, the work outlined for a sketch of Pi Phi interest in Y. W. C. A. work grew like Jack's wonderful bean vine. In this case it grew because not only alumnre of the fraternity but active members as well were intere st erl in the work of the Young Women 's Christian Association. When, at the editor's request, Sophie P. Woodman of New York Beta inquired of the chapters what alumn., were engaged in Association work and what active members, she found in the 34 colleges in which there are Chri stian Associations and in which Pi Phi has chapters. that 35 Pi Phis held offices, that 31 were members of the local Cabinets. and that 27 members attended some one of the student conferences thi s summer. That is. 8 per cent. of our active members were officers or Cabinet members. Wh ether or not one sympathizes with Y. W. C. A. work, whether or not one sympathizes with fraternity work, it is a significant fact that so many fraternity girls were recognized leaders in their A ssoc iations. It mean s either that the fraternity know s how to sele ct s trong girls, or that the fraternity knows h ow to make girls

THE ARROW

Two of the chapters reported that in their colleges it was impossible for any fraternity woman to be elected to the presidency of the local Y. W C. A. Such a statement is n o t a criticism against the fraternity, but is a commentary on the deplorable social ideals that obtain in these colleges. The best gi rl s shou ld be chosen for office, whether or not they wear Greek badges.

The editor is happy to say that t o-night, October 10, as she sends the fir st forty pages of MS to the printer, she has received 31 of the 38 chapter lelters due, and 7 of the 9 articles promised, that two of the articles, one chapter letter, one article for the department "What a Fraternity Girl Thinks," and one set of alumna! personal s, were typewritten. The is encouraged to hope that the November ARROW may appear November 15, on time. If it does not, the seven dilatory chapters will have to bear the blame!

The attention of all chapters is called to the recent ruling of the Inter so rority Conference with regard to the exchange of fraternity magazines. Henceforth one copy of the ARROW will be sent to the library o f every college where Pi Phi has a chapter. Here each chapter shou ld also find copies of the magazines of all other women's fraternities represented in its college. If there are chapters of three women's fraternities in a college, in the library of that college should be found copies of the magazines published by these three fraternities. The ruling of th e Intersorority Conference, however , does not provide for the sending of further

VERMONT ALPHA-MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE (Chartered 1893)

College opened September 24. with eighteen of the chapter back The entering class had an unusually large number of women in it, making a selection more difficult than usual. In spite of this fact. rushing was rather quiet, and the spirit between the rival fraternities much better than in previous year s. We entertained our rushees at a number of chafing-dish parties, teas , and informal affa irs at the Pharetra, and gave a formal reception for all the freshmen girls and th e members of the faculty. We are proud to introdu ce our ten pledg es, Alice Seeley, Dorothy Tuttle, Thelma Haven s, Alice Barnum, Blanche Bostwick, Louise Monroe, Ruth Richner, Lou Dutton, Hazel O'Connell, and Genevieve Elmer We are now planning a cooky s hin e and mock initiation.

The college year has opened most promisingly. The inclined to envy the freshmen the four years under the our new president. A new dormitory for women will within a year, and we feel sure that in many othe r is going to make splendid progress.

We are st arting in with ten girls in the active chapte r. These ten did some hard work before college opened, learning all about the new girls, so that when the time for rushing carne all of us were ready to rush those girls whom we had decided were "o ur kind."

October 6 the rushing season opened with a Pan-Hellenic dance to which all the girls in college were invited. October 10 we gave a tea at the home of our patroness, Miss Mina Walker The season promises o ther delightful prospects, such as a Hallowe'e n Party at the home of our Pi Phi bride, Alice Durfee-Howe, and a trip up the lak e to the island home o f one of the active girls.

CHAPTER LETTERS

days wen fifteen of us gathered at this picturesque spot, near a beautiful lake in central Massachusetts, to enjoy each other a little longer before we parted for our homes. What jolly. good times we had out rowing and paddling, and on our long tramps, to say nothing of the series of surprises to which our most astonishing and ingenious " frubies" treated us J

This summer our Grand President visited Boston, and was a guest of Mrs. Anna Robinson-Ni ckerson at her summer home near Quincy. She was also entertained with an outing at Natick to which all the active chapter was invited, but, owing to the fact that most of us had gone away for the summer, we were unable to attend in a body. However, we fdt weIl represented by Marion E. Morton, who was fortunately able to be present.

We are now in the midst of a strenuous rushing season. The PanHell enic regulations are the same as la st year, namely: no rushing for ten days after the opening of college, an d then three weeks of rushing before Pledge Day We have had some very pleasant rushing parties at our fraternity rooms, and especially at the homes of our alumnz. The first Saturday we spent the day with some o f our prospective Pi Phi girls at the summer home of ou r Province Presi dent, Mrs. Nickerson, where we enjoyed ourselves on the water and on the tennis courts. The second Saturday we took our freshmen to the hom e of another alumna, Mrs Phelps, and there the alumnz entertained us in the evening with some of the cleverest charades we had ever seen. This year we are fighting for girls whom each of our rival societies seems to want, and if we win them we shall certainly have good cause for self-co ngratulation.

College opened September 15 , but most of our girls were back earlier The day before the open ing of college we helped to introduce some of the freshmen, and in the evening opened our festivities with a musicale at the home of an alumna. This was the beginning o f a busy week, at the end of which we won ten freshmen.

College activities, outside of the etass room, have already begun. We have had the flour and salt rush es, the an nual reception of the so phomores to the freshmen, the Christian Association reception, and two college football games in our world-bmed stadium. Syracuse was victorious in both the Hobart and Hamilton games , as we hope she will be t hroughout the year.

Last week Our active girls, seve ral freshmen, and our city alumn;e went upon a delightful picnic to the country home of an alumna. A few clays later we took a tally-ho ride into the country.

We h ave a little apa rtm ent, at 511 West I22I1d St. , two blocks from t h e college, where we will keep h ouse in th r ee bedrooms , a kitchen, and a bath, all to ourselves.

We are proud to introduce to you our pledges: Helen Burns, Helen Carruthers, and Ruth Heller.

The Pan-Hell eni c rul es allowed a ten days' rushing season, which worked very well . One of our rushing stunts-a lawn party which we called uPi Phi Way"-was a burlesque on a big fair. A "Trip to the Moon," for instance, was only a trip to a Jack-o-Iantern on the fence ; and in the "Shooting Gallery" we shot hearts with a rrows. The progress from one attraction to another gave eve ry one a chance to become acquainted with every one else.

We are proud of our new fr aternity rooms, which the town girl s papered and refitted for us during the summer . T hey are near the college, and how much we enjoy running in between classes, and playing on our new piano I

As fraternity work this fall, we are planning to dress some dolls to be sent to the slum children o f New York at Christmas time . The Y. W C. A. is lea ding in this, and we have promised our assistance

IOWA GAMMA-IOWA STATE COLLEGE

(Chartered 1877)

Iowa State College has eighty new girls, all of exceptionally good types, and has contributed to Pi Phi and to Iowa Gamma chapter te n charming pledges. While the number seems large at present, the girls were such that we cou ld not l essen the number. Then again, we flattered ourselves on our success, since our ru shing was not extensive, consisting of an afternoon reception at Mrs. Beach's, an evening with Mrs. Curtiss, a moonlight drive , an afternoon at President Storms', and dinners at the house.

The opening month of sc hool ha s been full of picnics and partiesso many that we feel we must excuse ourselves and say "we are just getting acquainted aga in. "

The Junior Trot has been the socia l function of the year, so far, and was a brilliant success in that a great deal of o riginality was displayed.

The growth of Iowa State College is apparent thi s fall, not only in the number of students, but in the comp letion of t he splendid Agricultural Hall and the plans for a $200,000 gymnasium.

I owa Zeta Pi Phis are happy in the thought that the new school year has opened, and opened so j oyously. Upon our return we found the hou se fresh and homelike with new paper and curtains in parlor and dining-room; in the dining-room, too, we have a new plate rail which has been made very attractive with plates given by the girls.

Rushing season, the week before college opened, found almost the whole chapter back. The weather was ideal, and the delightful warmth of the days seemed to get into the spirit of the girls. Rushing began with a garden party the evening of the fifteenth, at the home of Madge Eastman; through the week there were teas, and picnics up the river; Mrs. Raymond, an alumna, ente rta ined the chapter with a party at the country club, and Saturday morning a breakfast at the house closed the real activities. As a result, we have to introduce to ou r sisters five charming new pledges, May Wanglier of Waterloo, Naomi Stuart of K eota, Edna Smith of HarJan , Edith Eastman of Iowa City, and Vera Wilcox of Ida Grove .

KISSOUIU BETA-WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

(Chartered 1907)

Seventeen active girls returned to Washington this fall. Rus hing is bound by no rules this year, and we arc at liberty to pledge girls at any time. So far , with less than two weeks of school behind us, we can present to you five pledges. They are Sara Thomas, Marguerite Frazer, Nell Mcgown, and Ruth Lc Cron of the freshman class, and Eulah Gray, who entered Wa s hingto n as a junior. We consider our pledgei ings the very flower of the entering students, and we are proud to be able to give them to OUT fraternity.

This summer most of OUT girls were away, so the rushing done then was purely informal and individual. On Saturday, September 19. the real wo rk began with a party at the home o f Imogen Adams, in Webster Gro ves . The following Wednesday we played five hundred at Fidler's home where we met more girls. The university opened Thursday, and the next Saturday Laura May Watts, one of last year's chapter, ente rtained for us The rest of the work has been impromptu, consisting chiefly of the process known here as "stic king," One night a rather unique ru shing "s tunt" was given, which some one laug hingly christened a "double wedding." Several members of the local chapter of Beta Theta Pi and of Missouri B eta had a bon fire at Webster Groves, with marshmellows and other characteristic featu res on the side. Each of the "contracting parties" secured a pledge ove r whom the contest had been decidedly warm

Several improvements have been made in the furnishing of our rooms in the dormitory and everything seems to point to a happy year.

Our rush week was certainly a busy one. The alumnz gave aU the parties for us, so that we might be free to rush. The Misses Stuart gave a reception on the first evening of rush week. All the Lincoln alumnz. weft there, as welJ as the active girls and the rushees . The next night we were entertained at the Waugh home. The dance hall had been transformed into a tiny theater, and here the alumnz presented a play to the intense delight of all present During the days following we were entertained by Mrs Ernest Ames at a garden party, and by Mrs. Sue Brown at a musicale. On the last night of the week we gave a bousewarming, and here our last pledging was done.

LO U1SIANA ALPHA-NEWCOMB COLLEGE (Chartered 1891)

Even though the summer has widely separated many of us, there are some few who have had the good fortune to be together all through the vacation. The Summer Club proved to be a large success . Not only did a few entertainments enliven the n. room, but many serious talks were held r elating to the always interesting subject of fraternity life.

Since Louisiana Alpha was chartered until last year our pledge day has been early in October. Last year the glorious day was in February, and even then it was mighty far off. Now, however, we are not allowed to pledge freshmen at all. Our rushing season is not limited. as it has been from the beginning of Newcomb fraternity days, but our pledge day is far off on the horizon of the sophomore year. Our chapter is at present large enough to keep us Quite content for another year, anyhow.

Even if some of us look forward to the opening of college merely as the closing of good old summer, none of us are sorry to see the fraternity room open again, or displeased at the idea of the good times ahead For instance, we are expecting our freshmen of last year to prove to us their loyalty by some little surprise party

It is always a trifle hard to make the first two or three meetings seem just right, for our seniors of last year are no longer here. Both of them have entered the social whirl and have been swept entirely too far from

College has been in session just two weeks now, but by this time rushing week is past and we have cleven new pledges. We had one strenuous week, consi sting of teas, luncheons, breakfasts. drives, dances, vaudeville stunts. and the like. According to Pan-Hellenic rules. each fraternity was given a day, chosen by lot, on which no rushing by any other fraternity cou ld take place. This enabled each of the fraternities to have fr ee scope on her day. Our day was Wednesday, and we served an elaborate six-course luncheon to seventy people.

An unusually fine class of girls ente red college this year. and our success was gratifying. Every girl invited accepted ou r pledge pin as her Greek emblem.

The university has suggested having the same initiatio n night for all, men's and girls', fraternities so that all fraternity alumni can be back together, and then on the next day attend the a lumni and university football game .

So many of us have been in Denver during the summer that we have been able to keep up our weekly meetings In this way we have kept in touch with each other and have also enjoyed meeting many charming Pi Phi visitor s to dinner during the summer months 'and hearing of our sister chapters .

We have found our short rushing season of three weeks much more satisfactory than the long one of last year. Our parties consisted of a theater party, after which tea was very prettily served, and an informa l dance The freshman class has been unusually large and fine this year, and we are more than proud of our seven new g irls : Mary Biggs, Grace Brandon, Virginia Brown, Lorena Hocking, Bessie Moberly, Viola Pillsbury, and Eleanor Rittenhouse.

Not only for the fraternity, but also for the university, is this year to be an unusual one. It was so encouraging this fall to find o ur beautiful new library nearing completion, and the promise s for the gymnasium and other buildings to be built during this coming year . There has been a great change in athletics as well, and we have a football team which gives us new hope and keeps us anxiOUSly waiting for our first game to be played with Utah.

California Alpba is at present engaged in rushing under strict PanHellenic agreement, and our cbief aim is to avoid becoming h opeless ly entangled in the maze of red tape. Bidding day is October IS. and until then we entertain freshmen every evening in the week except Mondays . There is an exceptionally fine class of freshmen this year, and our only difficulty is the fact that all six crowds want the same girls.

If rushing is taking up all our time. it is not absorbing our entire thought. At la st our house is under way, and each day sees it nearer completion. It is to be a fine , large house with twenty rooms, a broad veranda, a pergola, and plenty of room for dancing. We are hoping to

For one thing, we have not enjoyed a cooky shine toget h er for more than a year, and besides we had SO many pleasant things to talk about.

Two of our alumnre had r ecently returned from extended · tripsMiss Fry, our province president , and Miss Keith of Michigan Beta. It was interesting to hear about the different chapters Miss Fry had visited and the girls who belonged to them. Miss Keith , on the other hand.

has been where perhaps no Pi Phi has been before, vlslttng the places about whic:h Kipling bas written 50 much, among them "The road to Mandalay, where the old flot illa lay," even boarding one of the "old flotilla." From Miss Keith also we learned something of the personality of our editor, Mrs Theiss. They were clost friends in the same chapter.

Little Charles Cobb , aged one and one half years, was introduced to the company. He is a true Washington Alpha baby since he was born about the time of the chapter's installation.

A week ago three new Pi Phis were added to our chapter roll. They are Viretta Talcott, Abbie Forster , and Mabel Neal. We afe especially happy over Viretta , since she was one of the local organizat ion which worked for the charter, but could not be initiated at the time .

In additi on t o these three girls we have eleven splendid freshmen, who by a recent faculty ruling must remain pledges until they have twelve hours to their credit. T hi s ruling is universal. The faculty have decided to restrict social act.iviti es at the university. and are supported in their determination by the fraternities Each fraternity will be allowed only three formal affairs . Freshmen cannot atte nd any affair given out· side their own class, thus allowing them plenty of time for study.

Yesterday we had in Seattle what is known as "Tag Day," a plan devised to raise money for the benefit of organized charity. The uni· versity was interested and did much toward furthering the movement The Pi Phis alone sold seventy·two doUars' worth of tags.

Chapter and alumnz alike are interested in our new chapter home, for which the plans have already been drawn . Our present house is too small for large social functions , and but f or Miss Fry we would have had to give up our big dance this year. She kindly opened her home for us. Our new chapter house will be si tuated nearer the university and also within walking distance of the A. Y. P. Exposition grounds. We hope that many of our Pi Pbi sisters will take advantage of the Fair next year and pay a visit to Washingt on Alpha in her new chapter home
