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

Applications accompanied by photographs of applicants, transcripts of college grades, credentials from college professors. and other recommendations , must be in the hands of the Grand President not latc , than January 1, 1941.

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

EDITORIALS

Change of Dates

WE ANNOUNCE a change in the publication schedule of the ARROW for the future. Beginning this year, the magazine will ap pear in September, December, March, and May. The change is made to avoid the former difficulty of having the deadline come immediately after the summer vacation and the Christmas recess Exact dates of deadlines appear in the caJendar in this issue--an enlarged ca lend :tc, by the W3}', with many additional dates included. Will corresponding secretaries, both active chap ter and alumnre club, please note these changes carefuUy?

New Assistant

With regret we bring the news that Mary Emrich Van Buren has resigned as Assistant Editor and Business Manager of the ARROW, after five years of faithful serv ice. Her place will be taken by Gladys Warren, North Dakota A, past president of the San Diego Alurnnre Club.

"What A Fraternity Girl Thinks"

Several years ago we made an effort to revive the: old department called "What a Fraternity Girl Thinks," on a voluntary basis, but we met with no adequate response. In answer to a number of reader requests, we announce that it will be restored , this time with each dupter held responsible for a letter once each year. Limitation of space will of course not allow the publicatJon of all letters, but the letters that are most interesting and well written will be chosen, the number of them to be decided by available space, and they will appear in the May 1941 issue for the first time. Final decision as to their merit will be made by the ARROW Editor; but the actual editing of the lette rs will be placed in the hands of a new·old member of our ARROW staff-Candace Secor Armstrong, Iow a r, formerly Chapter Letter Editor of the ARROW, and more recently a member of the Contributors Staff. Instructions as to length, deadline, subjects, etc. will go out to dJapters in the revised edition of the ARROW Manual for Corresponding Secretaries, with the Fall supplies.

We shall be interested indeed in the results. Our gi rls these days show us in many ways that they are doing real thinking on the problems of the fraternity world; they should have much of interest to give to us!

Of Convention

Again we present the Minutes of Convention, as well as the reports of all officers of the Fraternity and of all active chapter delegates. Read them, and you will be well·informed as to the work of II B 4>, especially so if you will ge t out the Inform at ion ARROWS for 1938 and 1939, and make your own comparisons. We ca n have no need for further proof of the strength and progress of our chapters and alumna! clubs and their enviable position of leadership and importance in college and community than is laid before you in the records given here.

:Measures of outstanding interest were passed at Convention: two new charters were granted, one to n q, r at Lawrence College, Appleton , Wi sco nsin , which becomes Wisconsin Gamma, the other to n <P B, at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, which becomes Tennessee Beta; a gift of $5000 was made to the Red Cross for War Relief Work, one thousand through

the Canadian Red Cross, the rest to the American R ed Cross; the present Undergraduate Loan Fund was extended to include loans for g raduate as well as undergraduate study; decision was made to p la ce the restoration of the Holt House in Monmouth in the hands of a committee which is empowered to decide whether the present resto ration of the house shall be complete, or only sufficie nt to prevent deterioration, with the ultimate use to be made of the hou se left for fut ure decision. These are only a few accomp li shments-the full story appears elsewhere.

Of Loyalty

Convention proved as always inspiring and delightful. So ca refully were the arrangements mad e by a truly capable committee, so beautiful was the ba ckground given by the: Huntington, so perfectly were the plans ca rri ed out, that nothing was lacking to make it a successful gathering. Even the unfortunate subversive attempt by a few members to upset all the pl a ns of months and to destroy the inspiration of such a meeting failed completely in that purpos e. We add to Editorials this time statements of the situation which faced Grand Council and Convention. They make clear the l egal aspects of the action of Bernice Taber Van Der Vries, K a nsas A, and the favorable outcome of the controversy. These reports can not tell, however, the outpouring of sympathy and su pport which came to Grand Council as soon as the matter became known . H ea rt -warmi ng offers of eve ry sort of assistance pou red in from Pi Phis and friends of Pi Phi s the cou ntry over. Proffers of legal advice came from every side; we had n ever realized before how many Pi Phis h ad distinguished lawyer husbands, all ready to help us. Pi Phi lawyers in attendance at Convention, prominent among them Louise Ro sse r Kemp, Oklahoma A, Lahoma Vinvent Curran, Oklahoma B, and Josephine Welch Wood, California A, gave invaluable aid When it appeared that Mrs. Van Der Vries was attempting to tie up fraternity funds (an attempt which failed). a provin ce officer came forward with a generous offer to guarantee the expenses of Convention. Also, without any request on our part there came from no less than three banking firm s in Wall Street offers of funds to carry on fraternity business as long as might be necessary. The management of th e Huntington Ho tel, through Mr. Roy ce and Mr. Greene, made every poss ible offer of assistance, and were most helpful in the matter of publicity Letters , telegrams, telephone ca ll s, came in from everywhere, promising sympathy and pra ct ica l belp. If we had needed a demonstration of our strength as a national or· ganization, surely we ha d it at Pasadena !

To all OUf loyal friends, Grand Coun cil expresses deepest appreciation.

At Convention itself, th e re ca me forth such a demonstration of love and loyalty to n B <l> as we have never see n before. \X'ho th at heard it ca n ever forget the wonderful singing from the heart of that Tuesday morning sess ion? Who can ever lose the memory of the intelligent questioning and thinking of those fin e delegates , both active and alumn",? Or their truly g reat response to the ri ght things? Or the universal expression after Convention closed of the feeling that after com ing throu gh such fire together, we were all closer, we knew one another far better than at the usual in spite of the large registration of almost one thousand members ?

The Editor of the ARR OW, for one, will hold those memories always sacred, as proof that the fin e and true things of our creed a re the ones that rea lly cou nt. An y fraternity made up of such outstanding members, upheld by such loyalty, has touched true g reatness! Surely sucb proved st re n gt h gives us something to which we may cling in a world of chaos!

PI BETA PHI REPORT ON LEGAL Sf ANDING OF THE ILLINOIS NATIONAL CORPORATION

SHORTLY

after the opening of the 1940 Biennial Convention reports were presented to the Grand Officers indicating that n B the national corporation incorporated under the laws of Illinois in the year 1889, had been dissolved by actIOn of the Attorney General of tbe State of Illinois. This matter was promptly referred to legal counsel resident in Illinoi s, who made an immediate investigation for and report to the Grand Officers.

It appeared that in the year 1935, the Illinois Legislature adopted an amendment to the Illinois Corporation Act requiring not for profit corporations to file annual reports with the Secretary of State. ll1ese reports consist briefly of the name and location of the corporation and the names and addresses of the corporate officers. A filing fee of $1.00 is required to be paid at the time of the filing of each such annual report.

The investigation further disclosed that in the year 1937. an action had been started under the Illinois Statute by the Attorney General to bring about the dissolution of the corporation for failure to file these annual reports, and on December L5, 1937, a decree of dissolution wa<; entered by the Sangamon County, Illinois, Circuit Court.

The investigation at the office of the Secretary of State indicated that notices had been mailed by that office to the corporation at Galesburg, Illinoi s, with respect to the requirement for the filing of these annual reports. None of this mail ever reached the Grand Officers, and they had no personal knowledge of the dissolution proceedings until shortly after the 1940 convention was opened.

The Illinoi s counsel to whom this matter was referred on carefully checking the Sangamon County, Illin ois, court files in the dissolution proceedings found that there had been an insufficient return on the summons made by the Knox County, Illinois , sheriff, and upon consideration of the Illinoi s law, reached the co nclusion that the dissolution proceedings and decree were, therefore, invalid and could be set aside by the Sangamon County Court.

This entire matter was discussed on several occasions by the IlJinoi s legal counsel with both the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, and following these conferences, a petition was presented to the Sangamon County Circuit Court setting forth the defects in the legal aspects of the dissolution proceedings, and upon July 9, 1940, the Sangamon County, Illinois, Circuit Court entered a decree that the d.issolution decree of December 15, 19 37, be vacated and set aside.

Promptly following the entry of this decree of July 9, 1940, the an nual reports for the corporatio n were filed with the Secretary of State at Springfield. Therafter, when report was made to the S.mgamon County Court of the filing of these annual reports, the Court entered a final decree on July 17, 19-10, finding and providing, among other things, as follows:

"Pursuant to the provisions of the statute in such cases made and provided, and the acts, proceedings, facts, and transactions above herein recited, the equities of this cause are with the defendant, and this suit should abate, and should be dismissed for want of equity, the defendant having met and comp lied with the provisions of the statute, in accordance with the procedure therein prescribed, with respect to the filing of annual reports, and said defen<fant has removed any and all default with respect thereof, recited and alleged in the information filed herein, thereby restoring the said defendant cor poration, Pi Beta Phi, to good standing as a not for pecun iary profit corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the State of Illinois.

"IT I s TIIEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED BY THE OURT that this cause and proceeding abate; that the defendant corporation, Pi Beta Phi , be and it is hereby restored as a corporation in good standing, duly organized and existing as a co rporation not for pecuniary profit under the laws of the State of Illinoi s; and that the information and complaint herein be and the same is hereby dismissed for want of equity."

The n B cJ) national corporatio n is, therefore, as stated in the decree "restored to good standing,"

In this connection all members of the fraternity will understand that at no time did any of the above conditions impair or in any manner or affect the normal and usual

operation and administration of the active chapters nor of the alumnre clubs nor of the local corporations which hold title to the different chapter houses.

GREEN and P ALMER, Law)ers 113 North Neil Street, Champaign, Illinois

The fOllowing letter was sent to all alumnre clubs and active chapters.

Dear Pi Beta Phi Alumna? Club alld Chapter 0 fliterJ:

From several sources" 1 have received the sugs:cstion that it would be desirable to call to the attention of all chapte rs and alumnre clubs the desirability of giving newspaper publicity to Convention's action which will mean that the Fraternity is giving $5,000 for the relief of European war refugee children in the United States and Canada. The exact wording of the recommendation which was adopted br Convention is:

"That IT B <I> declare its approval 0 the prospective plans of the American Red Cross and the Canadian Red Cross for helping with the relief of European war refugee children; and its desire to work through these established or to-be-established Red Cross agencies in aiding and assisting in the care, maintenance, and education of these war orphans; and that it appropriate from its Contingent Fund the sum of $5,000 for work for refugee children, $4,000 to be given to the American Red Cross and $1 ,000 to the Canadian Red Cross."

An example of how this action can be prepared wisely for newspaper use is found in a clipping from a Denver, Colorado , newspaper. It was fo und there that local names had to be used in order to get the publicity but certainly there is no disadvantage in that! The Denver article was follows, th e headings underlined to distinguish them from the main body of the article:

"0 B <J) Sororily Vow $5,000 for Aid of Refugee Childrm

Mrs. Frank Prouty, delegate of the Denver alumn., chapter of IT B <I> at the organization's recent convention in Pasadena, California, said Wednesday on her return from the gathering that the Fraternity had voted $5,000 towards the relief and support of any European war refugee children who may be brought to America for protection. Mrs. Prouty said $4,000 would be given to refugee agencies set up by the American Red Cross and $1,000 to s imilar agencies of the Canadian Red Cross. Other delegates to the convention from Colorado were Miss Joan Divisek from the Colorado Alpha chapter and Miss Mildred Bailey of the Colorado Beta chapter."

If you wish to pattern your publicity after thi s, it would, of course, be desirable to use the word "fraternity" rather than "sorority" and to say "alumnre club" rather than "alumn:e chapter." Do not forget that this type of publicity is exceedingly desirable: secure it if possible. It will count during rushing! Other fraternities are publicizing their contributions to the Red Cross or other war relief agencies. I do not have data about all such contributions but some of these are as follows: Kapp a Kappa Gamma gave $1 ,000 to be distributed by Nora WaIn for relief in the British I sles; Gamma Phi Beta gave $500 to the Red Cross; and Delta Delta Delta gave $1,000 to the Canadian Red Cross. Make your pride in II B 4>'s generous help evident!

On August 15, the s<lit which had been brought by Mrs Van der Vries against the members of Grand Council, individually and as a group, was dismi ssed in the California superior court. Statements will appear in the September ARROW giving a report on the co rporation's dissolution and reinstatement to good standing and one on the cha rges and suit brought by Mrs. Van der Vries and her associates at the time of co nvention.

In order to minimize the danger that the wide-spread publicity given the filing of Mrs. Van der Vries' charges in the California superior court would be harmful during ru shing season, the fraternity has sent the following statement to all Deans of Women and presidents of College Panhellenics on campuses where there are IT B <I> chapters and to all presidents of National Panhellenic Congress fraternities:

"At the time of the last n B <I> Fraternity Com ention held in Pasa de na , California, early

in July of this year, there were newspaper repom in circulation to the effect that the Fraternity had permitted its charter to lapse for failure to file reports aDd pay filing fees.

" Green and Palmer, Lawyers, of Champaign-Urbana, have made a complete investigation of this situation, and submit this brief report which correctly sets forth the facts:

. , 'Pi Beta Phi , founded in 1867, in tbe year 1889, incorporated under the La ws of Illinois as a corporation by the name of Pi Beta Phi. This corporation holds title to the properties of the national Fraternity. In 1935 the Illinois Legislature enacted an amendment to the corporation act requiring the filing of annual reports giving the names and addresses of the officers and directors, and the payment of an annua l fee of $1.00 .

'Because of lack of proper mailing address in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois, notices with respect to the filing of these reports did not reach the National officers of the corporation, and in December, of 1937, tlie Sangamon County, Illinois, Circuit Court entered a decree of dissolution against the co rporation because these reports had not been filed .

..

'The first time that the Grand Officers of the fraternity had any knowledge of the situation was when the matter was presented at the Convention in Pasadena. Upon receipt of this information, counsel for the corporat ion in IHinois presented the matter to the Sangamon County, Illinois , Circuit Court, and the dissolution decree was dissolved. Immediately following that action the annua l reports were filed and the corporation has now been restored to good standing in the Office of the Secretary of State .

.. 'From our investigation it very clearly appears that the above incident in no way or manner affected the ordinary administration and conduct of the active chapters of the Fraternity, nor the various alumnre corporations and associations which hold titles to the respective chapter houses.'

"Your courtesy in giving these facts to any person interested or inquiring regarding the same will be greatly appreciated."

Please report immediately to me any provable instance of any fraternity's using the publicity referred to above as rushing propaganda against any cha pter. May I quote from the letter, dated August 29, from Mrs. E. M . Schofield, Grand President of Kappa Kappa Gamma: "With an organization as old and well established as yours we were certain there could not be any really se riou s situation. Again it is evident what bad publicity can stir up. You have our congratulat ion s over surmounting any trouble that seemed impending and assurances that we will do all we can to refute any unpleasant comments." This is typical of the letters which are com ing in from presidents of other fraternities and from deans of women. Certainly in a time of stress, IT B <l> has gained a new revelation of high place which it holds among fraternities, business and professional men and women, and (olIege administrators which is reason for the greatest gratification and pride!

With the hope that this year will be the best that your alumna: club or chapter has ever had, I am

Most truly yours in Pi Beta Phi, AMY BURNHAM ONKEN

CALIFORNIA LEGAL ACTION DISMISSED

WE HAVE been requested to give a statement of the events leading up to, and transpiring prior to, the dismissal of the lega l action filed in Lo s Angeles by Bernice T Van der Vries against all of the Grand Officers of IT B <1>.

While attending a dinner honoring Panhelleni c g ues ts at the Pa <;ade n a convent ion , Mi ss Onken, Grand President of IT B 4> , received a request for a private confe rence, signed by Bernice T. Van der Vries , North Shore Alumnre Club; Rebecca D. Whit e, Ann Arbor Alumna! Club; Inez C. Crisp, Akron Alumnre Club ; Margaret B Pled ge r. * Washington, D .C. Alumna! Club; Margaret Schuckers, Gary Alumnre Club; and M arga ret M. Norton , \X1est Suburban Alumnre Club.

The conference whi ch ensued was attended by all members of Grand Council and by Mrs. Van dec Vries, Mrs. White, Mrs. Crisp, Mrs. Pledger, Miss Schuckers, and Mr s. Norton . Mrs. Van dec Vries re ad a typewritten statement co nt a ining several pages whi ch . other things , charged that Grand Coun cil had permitted the national corporation to become dissolved through failure to file reports as required by the law s of Illinoi s. At this meeting a demand was made that all members of Grand Council immediately res ig n from office. Limi ted tenure of office for members of Grand Council, alumnre represent at ion in the election of officers, decisions on Fraternity poli cies equal to that of active chapters, and decentralization by means of province conferences were also advocated in the report read as the basis upon which there would be no publicity about the dlarges made and the corporation name would be released .

The following day it second conference was held with the members of Grand Council, at which Mrs. Van de Vries; Mrs. White; Mrs. Crisp; Mrs. Norton ; Mi ss Schuckers; J ea n Sprague, Illinois E delegate and Mr McCabe, an attorney represe nting Mrs. Van der Vries, were present. Grand Council were also represented by counsel and Loui se R Kemp acted as secretary for Grand Council. The attorney for Mrs. Van D er Vri es stated that she would relinquish an alleged reservation of the name "Pi Beta Phi" which she claimed to hold in the state of Illinois and would permit the filing of the annual reports required by the Illinois statute so as to enable Pi Beta Phi Corporation to be revived, if three members of Grand Counci l wou ld resign.

Under these circumstan ces it was deemed desirable that the normal convention business be suspended on July 2 and that the day be devoted to an open forum discussion by all of the delegates , of all of the claims and demands made by Mrs. Van der Vries. A full report of all of the discussions of this forum meeting is available in the form of stenog raphi c minutes which were taken during the sessions of that day and which are available for in spection at any time.

During the morning sess ion on July 2, Mrs. Van der Vri es assured the Convention that she did not wish to harm the Fraternity and that after s he had h ad an opportunity to discuss the matter with her group and her counsel, if it was agreeable with her group and if she was informed by her co unsel that she cou ld Jegally surrender to the fraternity the name " Pi Beta Phi" whi c h she allegedly held under reservation in the state of Illinoi s (and which she had tried to register in the state of California but was unsu ccess ful in doing), she would surrender this reservation of the name, provided such action on her part would enable the corporation to be restored to good standing. The con vention was assured by counsel for the fraternity that if Mrs . Van der Vri es relinquished the reservation of name. the corporation could be restored to legal capacity while the convention was st ill in sessio n.

Thereupon, the meeting was adjourned until the afternoon. Mrs Van der Vr ies promised to have her counsel attend the afte rnoon session and g ive her answer. Either prior to, or during the afternoon sess ion Mrs. Van der Vrie s checked out of the hote l where the Convention was being held , and the Conventio n was informed that she had departed from the city. She did send a legal representative to the Convention meetin,g- , with no instru ct ions and with apparently no inform at ion as to the events which had taken place at the morning session.

At two-thirty o 'clock in the afternoon of July 2, and while the convention was in sess ion . Mrs. Van der Vries filed a suit in the Supreme Court of the Stlte of Ca lifornia, County of • l\'hs Pledger did not attend the seco nd mee tin g o f this group and Grand Council.

Los Angeles, against all of the Grand Officers of the Fraternity, individually, and as trustees, in whith she stated that the corporation had been dissolved in Illinoi s and that she had reserved, and was the owner of, the name "Pi Beta Phi" and, among other things, asked that the officers be enjoined from conducting the Convention. Grand Council employed attorneys in Los Angeles, who presented an answer to the claims made in the comp laint of Mrs. Van der Vries.

This court action, brought by Mrs . Van der Vries in California, was grounded upon the claimed assumption that the national corporation had been dissolved in Illin ois and that she had filed a reservation of tbe name "Pi Beta Phi" and bad the right to co ntrol the use of that name for incorporation purposes in Illinois .

The facts as developed and as appear from the report on the Illinois proceeding which accompanies this article were that the national corporation had not been lawfully dissolved in Illinois; that there was a defect in the dissolution proceeding which, when presented to the Judge of the Circuit Court of Sangamon County, Illinois , resulted in an order being entered by that court on July 9, 1940, which set aside and vacated the purported dissolution decree which was entered on December 15, 1937.

Investigation in Illinois also disclosed the fact that there was no provision in the Not for Pecuniary Profit Corporation Act of the State of Illinois authorizmg the reservation of a corporate name, and therefore the purported reservation of "Pi Beta Phi" made by Mrs . Van dec Vries was without legal effect. Invest igation further disclosed that Mrs . Van der Vri es secured the alleged reservation of the name "Pi Beta Phi" in Illinois by signing the application therefore as President of Pi Beta Phi , an office which she did not then hold , and had not ever held, in the Fraternity.

Although Mrs Van der Vries knew that Pi Beta Phi corporation had been dissolved and reserved unto herself the name of "Pi Beta Phi" with the secretary of state of the State of Illinoi s on June 22, 1940, she did not inform any of the members of Grand Council thereof until the meeting with Grand Council held at the convention in Pasadena , hereinabove referred to. Had she informed Grand Council of the dissolution of Pi Beta Phi upon ascerta inin g this fact, the corporation co uld have by appropriate procedure, been revived prior to the date of the Pasadena Convention.

At the time the members of Grand Council filed their answer to the California lawsuit , they made a demand that Mrs. Van der Vries give a bond as security for costs. Under the Ca l ifornia law, she was permitted to file such bond within thirty days. At the expiratio n of this thirty-day period, she had not filed such a bond , and shortly thereafter, the attorneys for Mrs. Van der Vries filed a dismissal of the California action.

The termination of these legal proceedings finds the national corporation, "Pi Beta Phi ," completely restored to good standing as a corporation in the state of Illinois It should also be understood by all of the members of the Fraternity that the legal proceedings in California were grounded or based upon the erron eous assumptio n that the co rporation had been lega lly dissolved, when, in fact, it had not been so legally dissolved . Pi Beta Phi, as a fraternity. was formed a great many years before the national corporation was incorporated. None of the activities of the active chapterc;, alumnre clubs, or local house corporations were in any manner involved or affected by the di sso lution proceedings, and the normal affairs of the fraternity are being actively carried on without cessation or interruption .

Pi Beta Phi , the corporation, was incorporated to protect the individual members of the Fraternity and for the purpose of holding the title to the property owned by the Fraternity. Had the decree of dissolutIOn of the corporation, Pi Beta Phi, not been set aside and vacated, the Fraternity could have been incorporated in some state other than the state of Ill inois, or in Illin ois with a sli ght variation of the name .

The Akron AJummr Club delegate and Iowa A spoke to the question

At this point, it was annou nced from the floor that the North Shore delegate was not present. Since it was the opi ni on that the North Shore Alumn lr Club delegate, who was actinp; as spokesman for her associates and who had filed on the name IT B in Illin ois following her discovery of the decree of dissolution of the corpora· lion, should present the situation from her standpoint before there was genera l discussion from the floor. a brief recess was taken during which rI B 4> songs were sung.

Nort h Shore de legate, she was asked if she wis hed to take the floor and she did so.

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND PRESIDENT

T o PI BETA PHI FRATERNITY:

TIM F.S OF TESTING can be times of oneself s trong! Thcy have bet"n that f or IT B cJ! and they must be that now In days when all of the tenets of democracy are being assailed and its very right to existence threatened, the frat e rnity, which is a produc t of democratic ways of thinking and Jiving, must stan d fa st in their defense. Per· haps never before in the history of IT B ell has it been so vitally important that its members m eet their responsibilities as citizens and so make the fraternit y's place in tw o grea t democracies not on ly justi6ed but glorified. First of all, Pi Beta Phis should clar i fy their thinking and make certain that they know just what it is to which they must be true if they are to be w ort hy. Dr. Hutch ins, in speak ing to hi s gr:tduating class at the University of Chicago thi s June, said that in th e last war, "we set out to make the world safe for democracy but had n o definite idea of what we meant; we seemed then to be f avor ing a par li amentary sys· tem; and la ck of understanding of the moral principles upon which democracy is based has brOUght Am erica nearer H itler th an we care to admit." Dr. Hutch i n' s statement that a de· mocracy is the best form of g ove rnment beca.use " it is the only one which can combine three characteristics-law, equality, and justice-" out· lines the principles to which fra :e rnity members must dedicate themse lves , It · is the fraternity's part to keep these prin ciples so cl early before them as a part of the idea ls o f n B 4> th a t they will think cl ea rly when confronted with theories whose practice is destructive to freedom, will be strengthened by a sense of the fraternity 's support, and will be trained for leadership agai nst all forms of oppression D r, Henry Hanson, Pres id ent of Gettysburg College , said at the last In ter· fraternity Conferen ce that "the realm in which America's greatest need exists is in sane, com· petent, dependable leade rship" and that therefore he "took as the first objective for the fraternities of o ur country th e fa ct that citizen·building, preparing men who are sa ne, men who are capable, men who are dependab le, provides the fin est challenge of our generation," At this same con· ference, Dr. Clothier, Presi de nt of Rutgers Univer. sity, said: " The respo nsibility which rests u po n the fraternity is to bring to bear on its members all those influen ces of example and inspiration and environment and traditi o n and even coercion to help each member to d evelop to his maximum statu re in integrity and in kn owledge and in intellectual power and in m o ral courage and in spi ritual percepti o n and in social responsibility and in health and in gcod manners." n B 4' accepts the challenge and the responsibility! It will not fail, beca use it has been meeting both success· fully for almost three quarters of a century, and because it has la id t he on ly abiding fou ndat ion

for success in either by basing th e training of its members upon ideal s and sta ndard s which are eterna ll y true and beautifu l and worthy a nd which mean not only strength but lovelin ess- the thing upon which the soul must f eed if the man is to be trulv stro ng.

It is with an in exp ressible sense of deep privi lege that the fraternit y welcomes to thi s convention it s be loved Founde r, Fanny Whitena ck Libbey, whose presence is a benediction a nd a never-to·be ·los t in spi rati on In her and in In ez Smith Soule, n n 4» sees it s idea ls p e rfet:tly reflected in beautiful living, the supreme test of th eir va l ue! ]n the hearts of all Pi Beta Phis, Mrs. Lib bey and Mrs. Soule are held close in a devotion in which appreciation, r evere nce, an d deep affection meet.

During the past interim of conventions, n n ¢' has suffered an irrepa rable loss in the deaths of Nita Hill Stark and Anne Stuart, pa s t members of Grand Council. They still live in the fraternity wh ic h they he l ped to build and which they held so exceedingly dear, and in the hearts of Pi Beta Phis with whom they worked so faithfully

The Grand President announces with humility and pride that, during the interim of conventions, bequests have come to the Settlement School from H e len R ose ns tenge l Ross, Wisconsin A, and Anne Stuart, Nebraska B, giving to the Fraternity again soul'satisfying proof of the last in g love which its members have for II B 4>,

During the past winter, Frances Brown, Nationa l H istorian, whos e inte res t in every pbase of fraternity history, made or in the making, is meaning so much to the fraternity in the addition of invaluable material :and data to its historical files, decided th at it would be a very lovely and fitting thing if the fraternity had a portrait of one of its Founders as she was in 1867. H er appeal to the ever-active fraternit y loyalty of her persona l friend, Ali ce Hyde, Oklahoma A, talented art ist and portrait painter, brought an immedi a te and thr i lling expres sio n of pleasure at the thought of being able to make s uch a gift to the Fratern ity. Emma Brownlee Kilg ore, as the first president of l. C. Sorosis, was chosen by Mrs. Br ow n as th e Founde r whose portrait should be painted. but in order that Miss H yde might have a more complete idea of the fashio ns and mod es of that day than Mrs. Kilgore' s h ead-a nd ·should ers pi ct ur e gave, she sent with that a three-quarter-Iength photograph of Fanni e Th o mson This latter picture so interested Mi ss Hyd e th at she is presenting to the Frat e rn i ty not the portrait of one Founder but portraits of these two Found ers. What a joy it is and what a deep inspiration to have such ptQOf of the place which n B 4> holds in the heart of c ne of its most distinguished members! There are no w ords which can adequately express the appreciation o f the Fra ternity f o r th ese beauti-

ful portraits whjch our live again for us as the gay, young college girls which they were when the Fraternity began because of them WheJ at one of the splendid Fraternity Weeks held at the University of Minnesota, under the auspices of the Int erfraternity Council, Dr Alvan 4 T 4 , said that "if the fraternity is to have any value for its members it must help them :tt college to attain those things which the world will demand of them in the years and that ",ou may not expect lasting in terest and loyalty from your members unless you give them some· thing which they will find lastingly good," he the motivating principles bade of the carefU l superv ision, direction, and cooperation which II D gives to its active chapters This co nvention itself is irrefutable proof that this principle is beinA followed with outstanding sue· cess. The Grand President has pleasure, however, in sharin;; with Convention another proof which is deeply gratifying to her and speaks more efl'ec· tively than she could ever speak of the high pbce wh ich chapters hold and of the ab ility and devo. tion of the Provin ce Presidents who play so great a part in the internal strength and the resulting prestige o f n B ell This proof has come in the reports made this year to her by the Deans of WomeJ on the campuses there are IT B chapters. Such reports are confidential and so can· not be assigned here to the women who gave them but this takes nothing from the thrill of pride in the Fraternity'S active chapters which Ihey justify. It means much when Deans of Women on university campuses will grade their n B 4» chap ters as "Excellent" or "Very Good" for helpfulness, d ependability, democracy, ethical standards, business responsibility, social adequacy, parti cipatio n in campus activities, and scholarship, and then add comments such as these: "What more ran I add? Congratulations!"; "The chapter is now measuring up to high standards which we expect for it"; "I am always happy to have this opportunity to express to you my appreciation of their fine attitude toward their college and toward me. They are as loyal and cooperative as I could wish them to be and I am gr:tteful indeed for their help. It is always a great pleasure to meet your visiting officers on our campus and a matter of great satisfaction that the leadership of your group is in the hands of such splendid women"; "It is always a pleasure to me to send you a report of the chapter of IT B They are continuing to be a very real force on the cam pus and to conduct their own affairs with a deal of dignity and success"; " May I say that this continues to be a chapter which deserves your commendation from every point of view? The high personal standards of the girls, their influence on the University, and their cooperation with my office arc nil that you could desire"; "The IT group is cooperative. de6nitely at present, individually and collective ly, and rated very high on campus"; and "This report seems almost too good to be true, but it is true, neverthe· less. I am very proud of your chapter." IT B '" is building for the future the same abiding loyalty which has marked its record up to now and has ,aiveJ it not only strong chapters but an alumna! department which is the admitted envy of other N ,P.C. fraternities The past two years have

ones of true contribution, heartening cooperation, marked achievement. and standards for the active chapters of II B <It The Grand President expresses her gratitude to the officers, Alumme Advisory and chapter memo hers who have made such a report possible. No chapta is evtr at a dead level and none is ever always at its best but the Fraternity by k«ping in close touch with conditions and needs is able to krep the Acoeral average of each chapter 0:. ceediogJy high. n B 40 challenges any other frltrr· nity to equal the record which its chapten as a whole establish by their place in the esteem. respect, and liking of their campuses and facultitS. In 1939, Grand Council recognized outstanding success in meeting responsibility to the campus, the chapter, and the Fraternity by awarding the Balfour Cup to Illin o is the Stool man Vase to Iowa r and Montana A, jointly; and Honorable Mallion to Oklahoma A. The annual graduate fellowship was given in 1939 to Marion Moody, Louisiana R, and in 1940, to Mary Anne Potts , Texas B. The n atiena l Amy Bwnham Onken award f or 1939 went to Hope Kimbrough, Wash· ington and the Province awa.rds for that year were announced in the supplement to the Septem· ber, 1939, ARROW The Province awards for the current are as follows:

All national awards will be announced at the convention banquet. This year, for th e first time, the beautiful silver vase giver) by Nita Hill Stark for the best chapter history covering the interim of conventions will be awarded.

The Grand President again wishes to emphasize the fact that Grand Council has endeavored always not to mistake activity and restl essness for progress and to make no chanJies in rulings or regulations just for the sake of change. It has tried to see. that all changes neces sa ry for the continued development and progress of the Fraternity are put into effect. Organ.i:zation as such has constantly been checked upon to make certain that it remains at the point where it is a means to effectiveness and not an end of itsrlf. Official publications during the interim of conventions have included the 1938 edition of Th, Di,erlo", edited by Beatrice Purdunn and published as a n issue of the ARROW; The Pledge Book 0/ Pi Dela Phi, written by the Grand President; Th uadtrs ' Dig,sl, a monthly magazine devoted to the work of national standing committees, edited by the Grand Secretary and mimeographed and distributed by the Central Office; A Manllal lor Chapte, C'lIS0'S, written by the Grand Vice· President; The ChapleT Presiden!'s Manual, com· piled by the Director of the Central Office; The Manllal lor Pledg, S"pe,,,iso,s , compiled by the Assistant to the Grand President, and issued as was the Ch:l/Jler Presidenr s Manllal in loose·

leaf n otebook form; and A .Manllai for Chap", Treasurers , compiled by the National Supervisor of Chapter Accou nting and her Assistant Super. visors, under the direction o f the Grand Treasurer.

Georgia A, the chapter authorized by the 1938 Conven t io n, h35 worked under the personal supervision of the alumn:r of Atlanta and Ath e ns and under the special direction of the Grand Secretary. The Dean of Women of the University of Georgia has expressed her approval of the chapter which has added new friends a nd fine representation to n

Since both colleges seemed to Grand Council exceptionally fine in personnel , tiona I recognition, and fraternity interest, petition, ing groups on both campuses were given fraternity help thr oughout the year, The Fraternity owes a debt of sincere .l;rat itude to the devoted alumnlt of the F ox River Valley and of Nashville; to Ted Lewis M oody, Texas A, and her Houston Juni or Alumnae Club ; to Virginia Hin dman, D .C.

The finances o f the Fraternity cont inu e t o be cause for intense gra tificatio n and pride. Changing world conditions mean chan gi ng market values and sometimes de precia ti o n in inherent values. All investments of th e Fraternity's endowment funds, however are made o nl y with th e approval of Harris Trust and Sav ings Bank of Chicago or of the First Trust Company of Lincoln, Neb raska, and with the three-fifths approving vote of the Board of Trustee Funds and none are made in any field except bon ds of at least A grade, or for specifically provided-fo r loans to cha pte rs. Perhaps it would be well to exp lai n to the Fraternity that the personnel of the Board of Trust ee Funds is and has been si n ce its institution in 1925, the immediate l y-retired Grand President and Grand Treasu rer, the Grand P resident and the Grand Treasurer, and a fifth member selected by Grand Council to serve during the interim of conventions Vacancies which occur because of unwillingness or inability of the deSignated officers, past or present, to serve are filled by votc of Grand Council. Since the 1938 Grand Council has ame n ded the Statutes to provide that all moneys above $50,000 in the ConFund, which is not an endowment fund, shall be placed with one of the trustee banks a nd shall be used for investme nt on ly in issues whi ch meet with its approval. The special $50,000 Endowment Fund has made loans to chapter5 in iar,5ter amounts and to many more chapters than formerly. Grand Council has in some cases authorized the Grand T reasurer to make chapter loans from the regular Contingent Fund

Each year proves anew the great value of the work of the Supervisors of Chapter Accounting . Under their supervision and with their help, chap· ters have become in cre-dsi ngly sound in their fin:.ncial dealings and in their financial standings. Not eno ugh gratitude could possibly be expressed for Ihe cou ntl ess hours of hard work given so loyally and effectively by the National Supervisors, who, of necessity, cannot have the inspiration a nd joy of k nowi ng personally the chapters which they serve so exceedin.l;ly we ll

During the past two years, the Fraternity has again f ou nd it possible, because of its specia l S:50,OOO Endowment Fund and its other available funds, to help a nu mber of chapters build o r buy new homes or refinance or remodel old ones. During this time, Indiana 6 and Colorado B have comp leted new houses; New York A, Georgia A, and West Virgin ia A have remodeJed new ly purchased houses; and Ca l ifornia B, California 6, a nd Wisco nsin B have made or are now making exte nsive additions to their houses. Washington A seems definitely to be planning to bui ld during the next two years. It seems probable that permission will be granted the women's fraternities at Southern Methodist University to build chapter bu ngalows fo r meeting purposes and Texas D hopes to have a chapter home in the near future. Fifty -one chapters n ow own their houses and eight others maintain residences in houses or apartments. In no case, on a campus where chapter houses are permitted, is a IT B 4> chapter without a n adequate residen ce. I t is a pleasure t('l express Pi Beta Phi 's lasting gratitude to the devoted alumn:e who have made such a sp lendid record possible, and to add an expression of its further debt to the wome n who serve its chapte r s as chaperon s and make its houses c hapter homes whose atmosphere reBccts both culture and charm.

Th e Grand President has a lready spoken briefly of the fact that Pi Beta Phi 's Alumn:r Departm ent is the envy of other N.P.C. fraternities, not just because it leads all other fraternities in the numof aJummc dubs but because of the exceptional supPOrt which these dubs give fraternity projects and of the help which Alumnz Advi sory Committees give to active chapters II B 4J was the first Fraternity to set up Alumnr Advisory Committees as a regular part of its supervisory help for chapters; that, almost without except ion, all fraternities now have such supervision attests again to the wisdom of Pi Beta Phi 's far·sigh ted policy. Reports to the last N P .c. showed that II B 4> led all fraternities in the number o f organized alumn:r groups, leading its nearest rival, now A Z, by forty -three . The Grand Vice ·President shou ld not lose any of her joy in reporting the successes of the Alumna! Department during the past tw o years because the Grand President expresses her grea t pride in t hem!

Dur ing the interim of conventions, Grand Council meetings have been held as required at Asheville ; Jackson ville, Illinois; and Pasadena, and have hem or will be reported in Informatio n Numbers of the AARow. May the Grand President in passinJl 00 the comment of a IT B <It husband that 'The Informatio n Numbers are the most issues of the A.RROW, point again the moral that members of the Fraternity who fai l to read these issues careful ly and thought-

fully and so to g.1.in a reaJ understanding of their Fraternity are missing an invaluable privilege and one givm to 1ts by n o other fraternity. No Pi Beta Phi should, of course, one information Number ooly and that she is well-informed upon fraternity subjects; all should read each new issue as it appears and should study it in the light of previous issues in order that she may not on ly know current facts but also may understand changes and be a ware of

Because of widespread interest at the 1938 Convention in the Holt H ouse, in which the last phases of lilt orga nization of I. C. $ocosis were planned and the definite founding accomplished. Grand Council during the summer of 19 39 purchased the Holt property (or the Fraternity at a cost of $1,110.00. Since that time, Grand Counci l has inspected the property per· sonally and has authoriU'd inspections by outstanding architects and contractors. No repairs of any kind have been made but various hazards to public safety been removed. Grand Council is to this Convention reports of the architects and recommendations [or the use of the property if the Fraternity decides to retain ownership of it. Monmouth Alumnz Club, throu,s::h its representative, Mrs Kritzer, will pre· sent the opi ni o ns of that group.

Through its Settlement School, the Fraternity continues to express both th e loyalty of fraternity members and their gratitude to the Founders, for whom it is such a perfect memorial, and their unflllterin q devotion to the ideal of service outside the Fraternity. Under the efficient chairmanship of Lillian H olto n the School has had two of the best years of its entire history. Each year has seen the State of T en nessee and the Smith-Hughes directors give increased recognition to the work of the School ils e lf and to the vocationa l work, given both in the School and in the community, and in· creased support for both. Mrs. Holton will give a detailed repor t whose information should thrill every Pi Beta Phi with what it tells not just of educauon:d standards raised, of health conditions im· proved, and of vocational training given and used, but of the continued meetlfi8 of the Fraternity's highest responsibility and opportunity in giving to an entire community new visions of tal living as opposed to existence only and of seeing those visions made tan,s;;ible in the ljves of the people whom the Fraternity serves and loves Every department at Gatlinburg has well directed and has had two years of Illost gratifying progres5 and success. To say that n B has a debt which it can n eve r pay to lill ian Holton, Eunice Weaver, Ethel Snow, Annette Morse, Marie Hagee, Jeffries Pace, Irene Eldrid,ge, Ethel Copp, and all members of the Gatlinburg staff, falls far short of e:xpress. ing adequate l y the depth of its appreciation. As Lill ia n Holton gives up her place as Chairman of the Settlement School she should carry with her a realization which will never be dimmed that hers has been leadership of the highest quality and th at under her direction, the Settlement School has made continuous and striking progress. Grand Council has pleasure in announcing Marie H agee as the incominJi!: Chairman and Beth Brainard LeRoy, Mas 5achusetts A, as the newly appointed member of the Committee. At its annual meeting, last summer, the Settlement School Committee voted to appropriate, payable during the Spring of

1940, $2,)00 from Arrow Craft profits and $)00 from the School"s annual income if the Fraternity , throlJA;h Grand Council, would vote to approprtate and so make possible the complete can ce llation of the Settlement School's debt to its Endowment Fund . It has been the custom of the Fraternity to make an annual payment of $2)0 to the Scttltrnent School from the Contingent Fund Grand Council had very real pleasure. acting for the Fraternity. in agreeing to appropriate in one lump sum the amount asked for by the Com· mittee, on condition that the School malee its own proposed payments, recogn ize the amount as the Fraternity's annual payments for a ten-year period beginning with the Spring o f 1940, and make and maintain its budgets for that ten-year period without including any payments from the national Fraternity except in case of some unforeseen emergency Grand Council believes that the entire Fraternity shares with it a real joy in action which expresses some of the great appre<iation which is due the Settlement School Chairmen and members wh o have kept the School at an high state of effectiveness even when income has decreased and have retired a tremendous debt. That the Settlement School is now entirely free from debt and has ih Endowment Fund intact is a lasting memorial to their un· selfish purposes and great ability!

Because the reports of other members of Grand Council, national and province officers, and committee chairmen speak so loudly of themselves of the exceptionally able work and of the Fraternitv devotion of these officers, there is no need for any comment by the Grand President. She cannot, however, willingly fail to give herself the happiness of expressing her personal appreciation for the high service and unfailing cooperation which they have given and for the joy which their friendship and friendliness have meant to her personally. From active chapters, alumnz clubs, and individual members, too, she has had heartening proof of fraternity loyalty, willingness to give unselfish service, and desire to foster the best interests of n B 4 . She wishes to with special appreciation of the officers with whom she has been privileged to work most closely : Ruth Barret Smith, Lois Snyder Finger, Lois Fr<Ulklin Stoolman and Taylor Alford, leaders in the fraternity world of whom the Fraternity should be exceedingly proud and for whom it shou ld express often its lasting obligation; Isabel Clark. Assistant to the Grand Presi· dent, who has SO ably carried many beavy responsi. bilities for II B 4J during years which have held so much of personal sorrow for her; Beatrice Stephenso n Purdunn, Director of the Central Office, whose efficiency, ability, and untiring and unfailingly cheerful service make the Fraternity's Central Office the most helpful and efficient of any fraternity; and the Province Presidents who have had so big a part in keeping n B active chapters leaders on their campuses, whose example has been so truly worthy of the Fraternity, and who have so endeared themselves to her personally through months of working together.

Since the 1938 Convention . the Grand President has installed the Georgia A chapter at the University of Georgia; has been the special and inspired guest at the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebra· tion o f Ohio A, at the 1940 Jndiana State

Founders' Day celebration, and at the 1939 Province Conferences held in B eta and Theta Province (South); has made a brief visit to Lawrence College and to the Fox River Valley Alumn:r Club which was organized during her visit; has been the offi cial visitor to Colorado A and n, Wyoming A, Kansas A and B Nebraska B, South Dakota A, Manitoba A, North Dakota A, Minnesota A, and Ohio A; and has been the guest of alumnre clubs in Boulder, Cheyenne, Laram i e, Manh atta n, Topeka, Lawrence, Athens, Lincoln, Sioux City, Omaha, Vermillion, Kansas City. Winnipeg, and Grand Forks. For the heartwarming hospitality of which these visits speak, she is grateful beyond mea su re! May she say again that because she 11.'\5 know n persona ll y eighty.four

Tchapters and a hundred and seventeen alumnx dubs of the Fraternity, she knows that II n 4'> is a truly great Fraternity!

For the inexpressible privilege of having some part in the continued development and prog ress of II B cI> whi ch ha s kept it a Fraternity without a superior, for the opportunity to give her support to the ideals and standards without which no fraternity can be tru ly or last ingly st rong , and for the fraternity fellowshi p and friendships which are hers and which alone mean a debt which nothing could ever pay, the Grand Presid ent expresses her gratitude_

MESSAGE OF THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

HE past decade has breught many changes and no other year of the whole decade could record more rapid alterati o ns than the year 1940. In these days cf "Blitzkrieg" abroad. economic unrest and uncertainty at home, how satisfying to be able to name a few so lid structures upon whose dependability ",e can rely; ou r church, our home, and may we add, our fraternity_ It is therefore a particular pleasure that the record of the past two years of alumn:t department activity may be here repor ted with no lessening ef interest on the part of the alurnn:e who form an ever incr::'lS ing percentage of our Fraternity_ It has indeed been a bienium of activity , increased int erest in, nnd s ustained lo ya lty to II B 4'>_ No one can vouchsafe that there has be en a lessening of Frat ernity enthusiasm among o ur many fine alumn:e, for available figures would disprove any such statement. \'(fhen the H iJIO'J of Pi Bela Phi was issu ed four years ago, the alum n:r clubs numbered 173_ For the three years prior to the current one, newly chartered clubs averaged six each year and in the fall of 193 9, totals stood at 189. This of course alJowed for some clubs hav ing become inactive_ To ask as a goal f or the 1940 Convention, two hundred dubs seemed colossal optimism. Yet today, with greatest pride, we announce a total o f 202 chartered c1ubs_ Th e new clubs chartered since last Ccnvention are: in 1938-39, the Mohawk Valley, NY., in Alpha Province; the Asheville, N.C., in Gamma Province; the Northern In diana in Delta Province; and the Marin County, Mu Provin ce; this year, Alpha Province added the- Mid·Hudson Valley, New York club; Delta Province, Rich· mond, Indiana ; Epsi lon Province, Jefferson City, Missouri; Zeta Province, Tailahas5('e, Florida; Eta Province, the Fox River Valley, Wisconsin; Iota Province boasts of two new clubs in Kansas City, Kansas, and in Hutchinso n, Kansas; Lambda Provo ince has added Billings, M ontana , and Moscow, Idaho, and Mu Provi nce also boasts two added dubs, one in Santa M aria-San luis Obispo , California, and o ne in San Mateo County, California_ Cert ain ly no other fraternity can boast of such extension among its alumn:r nor of the eDthusiasm and support evidenced therein, be the group large or sma ll. No dubs have been dropped f rom our roste r and One club, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, pronounced inactive at the 1939 Coovention for lack of resident members has betn

revived_ Three clubs, Northern New York, Asheville, North Carolina, and Southwestern Michigan have been inactive this year_

The Settlement School is our first interest as a lumn :r. A second goa l for the 1940 Convention was that every club would fulfill its obligations by including the Sett lement School in some f ashion_ While our one hundred per cent participation wa s not gained, there has been no failure in the support of that project. Clubs have been more generous than ever. Only six clubs failed to include the Settlement School in their budget and of these, four lent their support by selling Arrow Craft projects or by sending magazine subscriptiens, whose profits go to the school. It Jhou/d be the object of every club to maintain and inc rea se its in terest in the schoo l fcom year to year_ Though discounting in no ma nn er, the loya l support o f every club and chapter supporting the Settlement School, we would like to record here the chapters and clubs leading with largest dona· t ions _ Clevel and, Kansas City, Missouri; D enver, SI. Louis, and Los Angeles, each has given four hundred dollars or more_ Ohio a, Pennsylvania B, Missouri B, Colorado A, California r, and Cali· fornia merit distinction with do n ations of $75 or more each _ General donations r a nge from one dollar up and every penny is appreciated.

A large majority of clubs have had Arrow Craft sales this year and when one rea li zes the fine effort these clubs put forth to place our homespuns and baskets before the public, we are indeed proud The new Arrow Craft Building new completed will expedite the receiving and th e delivery of products_ Realizing full well that eve,] Arrow Craft tea or display means untold effort for the Pi Phis lesponsible. we commend all but ment io n here only those clubs whose market has given them particular success. Th e far-away Honolulu club merits a sentence all its ow n for, in addition to its regular donations, its Arrow Craft sales have totaled close to $800 this yea r. Runner·u;> in the Nita Stark Club of T exas which sold $679 worth_ New York City, Northern New Jersey, Westchester County. New Yo rk, Houston. T exas, and Berkeley, California, each sold more than $:500 worth, while Washington, D.C., Denver , Colorado, Manhattan, Kansas , and Seattle all were well over the $400 mark.

Dentistry may have its " Pa inless Parker" but IT 4> has its "painless" Purdunn_ Efficiently ond

smoothly ha\'e the orders for maga.zino bttn filled with the result that more than three thousand dollars M\'e been turned over to the Settlement School Tre:lSurer this yar, pro\'ing the fact that wjthout p3.in and with little trouble. dollars from pennies grow. Some commissions from clubs and chapters were for less than one dollar. Year by year, as the circle of subscribers widens, the in· come increases but there is still an untouched field of this source of income.

Another measure of activ ity is the Loan Fund. This has continued to ho ld the attention of all Joyal clubs, fo r it is o ne of our stipulated projects. H owever, n o stress has been placed upon these contributions because o f the fact th a t there has bee n no stress felt by the Loan Fund Committee for increased donations. Loans were granted to thirty-6ve active Pi Phis during the past year. T hese tota led $4,799 while meney reo turned to the Fund from loans totaled The clubs of ei.Q:ht p rovinces, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Th e ta , Iota, Lambda , and Mu, have jltiven one hundred per cent. Eta Province lacks but one. The chapters of Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Lambda, and Mu P rovi nces are one hundred per ce nt also

Too c;re:!.t commendation cannot be extended to those Province Presidents and V ice·Pres id ents whose careful encouragement a nd to those clubs whose willin,c: response ac hi eved the one hundred per cent goal for partic ipation in both our nati ona l projects. One hundred per cent provinces thi s yea r are D elta, Eps il o n , Theta, Lambda , and Mu , with Eta Province having but one club failure to mar its record. Thi s i s th e sixth year for this record in Epsilon Pro v in ce and the seventh for Lambda. The clubs o f Beta, Gamma , and Iota Provinces are one hund red per cent while the chapters o f Zeta and Eta Provi nces h ave given one hundred per cent to bot h projec ts , The message o f the G ra nd Vice- President each yea r is more or less a summary of 6ne reports fou nd later in the Information AJtRow. Though these summarized glimpses of progress through the biennium are here given, we urge your careful study of the provi n ce charts o f clubs and chapters and of all reports. We also urge your careful adhere n ce t o the alumor club requirements of four club meetings per yellr. A review of how the Frate rnitv has fun ctio ned and is now funct io ning is so ably f o und in a study of the History and Constitution of II B Y ou r love for your Fraternitv will inc rease as your interest in a nearby acti ve chapter is awakened. Belief in a national philanthrophy. an example set for all N P.C., will grow as you work for the Settlement School. Pride in your Founders and faith in th eir ideals will become more deeply rooted as you celebrate Founders' Day. The Jiving examples we have in Mrs. Libbev and Mrs Soule make us know that Foun ders' D llv sho uld be an occasion of solemnity and inspiration when every active and alumnI! shou ld review and renew her initiation vows. One would like to think that every lo ya l n + would volunteer her affil iation with the department even though geographically removed from club co ntacts. so strong has been her na· tional viewpoi nt while an act ive n • However, this Utopi an viewpo int seems to be impractical in this practical economic era. Th e News published between issues of the AJUtow by the

A5sistant to the Grand Vice·President has been sent to the SClItttred members of the ..Iumor department but suggestions for further ways to enlarjlte this Aroup would bt: most welcome by this department.

Even though the inactive aJumnr, at first glance, may seem a discouraging item, this is n ot so, f o r this is simp l y the result of the rapidly increasing numbers o f our alumn:r from year to year, many of whom have no contact with chapter nor dub AlumnI! club annu al memberships continue to total a steady To review the past thr ee bienniums, in 1934 (the Y ellowstone Par k Con. ve nt lO n). there were ',O il memberships; in 193 6 (the ChicllAO Conve nti on) , ',672; in 19 38 (th e Asheville C onvention), 6.210, and this yetr w e number 7,0'8. $(oven hundred and eighty-two of these represent Senior dues of .'\:raduates thi s year

A very r ea l major interest of most clubs is to absorb these new graduates. Junior groups have proved effective in the brger clubs and when definite care is ta ken to cause no separation of the younger and o ld er elements of the club, there is great satis facti o n expressed

Our active chapters are the source of future dub s trength and clubs a lways welcome the advent of youthful enthusiasm to supplement their own mature perspectives.

Ere we leave th e subject of club memberships, a word must be said (or Life memberships estab· li shed at the last Conventio n for the su m of The response has not been what was anticipated. Th e who see the value of the membership, do not a lways have the available money; the o ld er alumnz wonder. if they might not save mo n ey by payi ng the regular annual fee of o ne dolla r. W ou ld a wise r plan be that followed by another fratern ity which pe rmits a sliding sca le of membership cost, according to the dates of in itiati o ns?

The response to th e request f or the prompt se ndin g of Qu estion naires has been gratifying as to date 167 h ave been received. Of greatest inter es t, aside from the figures therein are the answers having to d o with ways in which National may further help. Th ese run the gamut of ideas from perfect satis fa ct io n with all no w don e, to the club which asks f o r a national officer in its club be· cause some other N.P.C. fra ternity has an officer in its town. Under the topic, " Suggesti ons for im p roveme nt o f the alumnz departme:nt," some who wish dmstic changes have referred us to the material se nt the national committee for that pwpose; o thers have di smissed the subject with no comment; one club fe lt the re was entirely too much iruo rmat io n sent ou t to clubs; and still other clubs wish more letters and more visits.

On e o f the new est clubs attributes its final c hart e ring to the fact that their Province Vice· President se nt her letters to the group through the winter months and thus made them realize how mu ch was to be gained by affiliating with Na. tional. In any it is impossible to satisfy everyone but the continued suppo rt of and parti cipa tion in the activi t ies of the Fraternity constitute the true barometer of progress made Our policy h3.s been th at of endcavoring to sa tisfy the majority of requests.

The speci a l committee appoi nt ed at the last Convention to consider possible chanAes in aJl,lm· responsibility at will make its

report and present its recommendations to this Convention. Not knowing the statistica l findings of this committee, we hesitate to comment on its work However, judging alone from the expressions voiced to this office, personally a n d through the qu est io nnaires, th e opinion of the majority seems to be that o f " favori ng more aiumnor interest, but no more alumnr part ic ipat io n in Convention ," May this assembly approach th e questions submitted with the openminded fairness attributed to Pi Bela Phis

The presence here of an added number of a lu mmr club delegates bears witness to the completion of the work ass igned to the seco nd committee appointed at the Ashevi ll e Conventio n , that of distributing the $2,000 voted by Convention for the expenses of dub delegates. Twentysix clubs have benefited from this money and w o uld not otherwise have been able to ha ve delegates here. Six other clubs received a portion of th e money assigned. their province. It would be the earnest hope of the Grand Vice-President that some system be evo l ved whereby an Endowment mi,f;;ht be crtated, its ultimate purpose that of allaying a part of the costs of club delegates t o Convention. Th is year the debt of the Settle ment Schoo l Endowment has been paid in full which now releases the annual interest from our Alumn:r Endowment, voted toward this 5.5 . debt at the Yellowstone Convention in 1934. With these added funds at hand henceforth. perhaps s uch an Endowment may one day be forthcoming.

In thi s interim of Conventions a ll but two provinces have held province conferences, which is a r ecord indeed as these are voluntary. W i th out exceptio n, there have been expressions of pleasure over th eir value and the enthusiasm engendered there for furth er n c) activity has been no ticea ble One province did not include the active representatives in its program but all o thers felt that one of the greatest values was the m ingiing of actives and alumnre and their ideas. That really is the Fraternity, when actives and alumnI: meet on common J!;round to share their viewpoints, to know each other and to recognize our national as their common denominator. It has been suggested that province confuences have more uniform plans, that th ey offer an opportunity for th e selection of province officer material. There will be every opportunity at this to discuss province co nferences , their value to the Fraternity and how f ar their authority should go.

At the meeting of Grand Council in October, it W3J decided that the alumnre clubs of Alpha Province should be divided to conform to the divi sion of the active chapters. This n ecessit.ueel the appointment of a new Province Vice·President which office was accepted by Elizabeth Chalmers Dow, Vermont A, of th e Ha rtford Club. Mrs .

Dow served her province until May when family respons ibi lities which followed the fatal auto · mobile accident to her mother in Florida became too heavy and she felt it ne<essary to res ign , Regretfully he r resignat io n was accepted and Erminie Po llard, Ve rm ont B, was appointed to fill out the un expired term. She assumed the duties of closing th e year's work and represents Alph a East for this Convent io n. There have been no o ther changes in the personnel of the department since last reports.

The Grand Vice -Pres ide nt had th e privilege this year, together with other members of Grand Cou n ci l, of attendi ng the National Panhell e nic Co ngress in White Su lp hur Springs, West Virginia. It was also her privilege to vi sit the active chapters of Massachus etts A, In diana A, B, rand A, Oklahoma A and n, Texas A and B, Louisi. ana A and B and to assist Washington A, her nearby chapter. While work is the prime responsibility of this office, we find all alumna! eager to hear of their chapter and other chapter honors and the viewpoint of thi s office is broadened by these contacts.

Alumna! clubs co nta cted. this year were Indianapolis, Bloomington , Indi ana, West Lafayette, In· diana, Norman, Stillwater, Oklah oma City, Tul sa and Mu skogee, Oklahoma, Austin , Dallas, and Corpus Christi, Texas and New Orleans. In addition, it was our privilege to celebrate Founders ' Day with the Vancouver, British Columbia. of Pi Phis and with the Seattle and Everett Washington, Alumna! Clubs. The fine alumna: everywhere and their cordial wekome to a visiting officer brinJ!; inspiration and renewed energy.

To say that we have a valiant corps of workers is to express it very mild l y. In the two years no office r has failed to respond to any request made and each has, we are sure, tried t o carry on her duties to th e best o f her knowledge and ability as we Our gratitude to Marianne Wild and to of the thirteen Provin ce Vice· Presidents for their help and cooperation in making the department what it is, is here expressed. Central Office, the other members of Grand Council and national officers, all have contributed a large share, too. The work could not have gone fo rward with· out the combined aid of many hands and minds. Greatest appre<iation goes to the rank and file of our alumnI:. It has bC'en a joy ro have these many fine relationships with clubs, chapters and indio viduals; it has been a priv i lege to serve n B Ij) j for the Fraternity 's confidence is permitting this privile,'le, we voice our appreciation.

Contact with the seventy-two Pi Phis who make up these Standing Committees hu been by means of a bi-monthly publication, The This publication has been issued during the past two years to all Committee members to all Committees a knowledge of the organi. zation of each Standing Committee, its methods, and achievements; to bind all Committees into a closely knit of Pi Phis working with [he common aim of promoting the best interests of the Fraternity; to provide inspiration and new or,c:anizatio n ideas; and to carry items of Frater· nity interest to the members of Standing Com. mittees. Material for this publication has been contributed by Committee members /0' Com· mittee members.

The supervision of AlumnI! Advisory Com. mittees has been both interesting and challenging: interesting because it deals with the problems of youth and challenging because of the far. reaching a nd vital influence which Advisory Committees exert on the present and the future of ouc Fra· ternity. n B CP is known to the world by the chapters she maintains on our college and university campuses today, and the Alumnre Ad· visory Committees have it in their power to mold our chapters according to their ability a nd their desire to do 50.

Contacts with these eighty-one Committees have by specia l letters when specific problems demanded attention and by questionnaires sent twice each year which gave information about definite chapter contacts. This past year every Committee received an outline indicating the exact procedure to be followed each month. the sug· dovetailing with current chapter activities. Active chapters, as well as Committees, were pro· vided with a compilation of the Standing Rules and Policies of the Fraternity.

Four hundred and five women serve II B 4> as members of Alumnr Advisory Committees, and to them as well as to the members of Stand· Committees, the Fraternity owes a real debt.

Th e Grand Secretary acts as Grand Council advisor to all newly installed chapters and to those requiring special supervision. Associations with the new chapter, A. have afforded real pleasure, and it is gratifying to report that after two years of growth this group is taking its place

as a fumJy established chapter of II B 4>. Special supervision has been necessarily upon only two of the eighty-one chapters and satisfactory improvement has been demonstrated in that instance.

These duties of supervision, as well as those in· valved in the routine work of acting as recording and corresponding s«retary for the Fraternity, in preparing for publication the reports of all na· tional and province officers and those of Conven· tion delegates, and in acting as chairman of the Committee on Credentials for Convention, have been made pleasant and stimulating because of a nne spirit of cooperation and an enthusiastic response by Pi Phis everywhere

Through the medium of chapter visits an offi. cer gains inspiration and an understanding of conditions which make for more enthusiastic and wise r supervision of Fraternity problems. During the interim of Conventions the Grand Secretary has been stimulated to greater efforts by visits to Maine A; Nova Scotia A; Vermont A aDd B; California A, B, r, and 6; Nevada A; Arizona A; New York A, r, and 6 ; Ontario A and B; Mis· souri A, B and r; Arkansas A; Tenn essee ..\; Ken· tucky A; Georgia A; Alberta A; Washington A; Oregon A and B ; and she was priv ileged to inspect the petitioning group at Vanderbilt University for Grand Council. She has been the guest of alumnr clubs in Honolulu; los Angeles; Pasadena; Santa Mon ica; Palo Alto ; Reno; San Di ego; Phoenix; Tucso n ; Northern New Jersey; Columbia. Missouri; Springfield, Missour i; Fay ettevi lle , and Corvallis; and she was entertained by groups of alumnre in Seattle; Eugene; Halifax; Orino; Middlebury; Ithaca ; Toronto; London; Louisville; Atlanta; Nashville; Chattanooga, a nd St. Louis. It was her pleasure, also. to attend the Lambda. Beta, Alpha, Epsilon. and Zeta Province Conferences and to be the Grand Council representative at the State of Maine Conference.

One cannot see so many Pi Phis at work throughout the United States and Canada without gaining a realization of the potentialities and the greatness or our Fraternity, n or can one help but receive untold stimu lation and inspiration from friendships thus made, as well as an added desire to help further the best interests of IIB*,. For these privileges of service the Grand Secretary is grateful.

ARROW

TilE two }ears Ihat have passed since the last Convention have brought much material of preat interest across the desk of the ARROW Edilor The format of the magazine remains un·

changed, althouil;h this year much time has be-en spent in workinA over possible future improve· ments; the cover still presents pictures of new and reconstructed chapter houses . of which there

seem even morc to come; there is always more material than can be crowded into our pages.

We continue to have an unbroken record for having every chapter represented by :1 Jetter in every issue--cven if it d oe s sometimes require a collect telegram or two from the chapter letter e ditor. and even one from the ARR OW editor. Much to ou r pl easure the number o f alwnna: club lette rs i s inne as ing co n sta ntly. until it reached a hi g h mark of 137 letters in the May i ss ue of this year. Yet this increa se in constitutes a problem. Chapter l etters alumn:r letters and alumnz personals, are taking up an average space of 6:; pages; standing which include the staff and direct ory pages, all those numbered in Roman numcr::tls, amount to 17 pages more; a tot::tl of 82 pages which must be us ed , before general material, picture pages and the like. can be planned for The minimum size of an iss ue runs to 96 pages; th e average one to 112 pages ; only such issues as those o f May each year, whe n we use pictures of OUr girls winning social honors , run Jarger- this yea r, we used by no means all pi c ture s submitted, yet printed 200 As one way of meeting this situation, we have omitted alumn:e club letters from the November issue, choosing thi s one because its d eadline is O ctob e r 5, a date previ o u s to the actual beginning of the work o f mos t of our clubs , a nd because it has been the issue which drew th e fewest letters. We want all these letters, we want to bring news of clubs and personalities to all our subscribers, and we promise an early answer to this problem. probably in the form of a space limit on letter s. A letter from every club once a year to appear in an assigned iss ue might be the answer, in a ddit io n to th e regu lar yearly report which appears in the September issue of each year.

The European war has come to the ARROW ! Most of th e wood pilip us ed in the of fine book papers suitabl e for and o f the type we use in the MROW has alwa ys come from N or· way and Finland Since la s t September thi s supp ly has been dwindling, until n ow it has stopped com · ing. Up to th is tim e most pulp produced in Canada and in our own n o rth and no rthwest has p:o ne into th e rayon industry-until some adjus tment comes in wood pul p production, a rise in paper prices seems inevitable , and there may even be neces· s ity for usi ng papers of entirely different type W e have already had a small in crease in paper price , and und er this were a bl e to buy only enough pape-r to carey us through the May issue. A further increase is co ming t! nd must be met, if possi ble with o: her eco nomics.

One possibi l ity f o r economy appears probable in the ma tter of cuts. H eretofore zi nc cuts have given pictures o f infer io r dearnes s. a nd most of ou r c uts have been hi gh.grade copper, giving us the bes t poss ibl e reproduction. Recently a new and improved process has appeared in the making of th e less expensive zi nc cuts, and it will be possib le to ma ke use of these for cuts wh ich are no t for permanent preservation Fraterni ty M agazines , Associated, has continued to work on the matter of advertising for aJl t he magazines o f ou r .';roup, but with small result. It however, th at as long as the orga nization

continues to exist and to work, and since it is costing us nothing to continue our membe rs hip, we s hould continue to give th e m the benefit of our large subs cripti on li s t which ad ds so great l y to their ta l king points with advertising.

Our subscription li st is sti ll larg er than our fri e ndly ri va ls by some tho usa nds , a total of 27,825 for the May issue .

In pl:lOning the contents of th e ARROW, we have been guided by a desire to repres ent fairly the wide interes ts of the Fraternit y. In this we need always the cooperation of Pi Phi s everywhere. We need to be given informati on as to what our member.> are doing, wh at promine nce comes to them-the more news sent to us, the greater choice we h ave. In this the cont r ibutors staff h as continued to be of the greatest value and the officers of th e Fraternity have been a mine o f informatio n Clippings are always a cceptable, especially such as tell o f IT cI> participation in events o f th e day, an d th e Editor bespeaks from all Pi Phis a co ntinu atio n of their past contributions.

A problem difficult of so lution is that of promptness. We print a de adlin e, only to find on that date th at about half o f our necessa ry material is on hand A wait of even a few days throws out our who le planned schedule of publica· tion, delays th e mechanical production o f the magazine. Th e printing o f so grea t an issue as our present ones takes many days : th e Ed i tor must sec proof twice, often in sections because of tardy mat erial; the result is a late is sue , in spite of top speed work on the part o f s taff and publishers.

.

The Editor wishes to tha nk the many members of the Fraternity who have writt en h er so kindly during th ese years. It has not always been possible to a nswer th ese letters, but they were none the less apprecia ted. They are only a part of the wa rm perso nal happiness th at has come to the Editor thr ough her wo rk

The Sta ff of the ARRow has done wonderful work, faithful and brilliant ; the George Banta Publi shing Company has continued its fine cooperatio n and r eslX> n se to our wi sh es; th e officers o f the Fratern ity have helped in every way possible; to a ll these the Editor offers deep appreciation

During the interim of Conventions the Edito r has made officia l visits to Iowa A, B. r and Z, Virginia A a nd r. D .C.

ASSIST ANT TO THE GRAND PRESIDENT

WITH a stCond year in the office of AssisUnt to the Grand PttSident the duties have be-en more performed and increasingly more in· {eresting. It has hem possible to take a more person!11 interest in each chapter and although there is much yet to accomplish in this respect. a beginning: has at least been made.

Three Questionnai res were again sent to rush captains; one in the early fall. another shortly after the close of the major rushing period, and the third this spring. These questionnaires as well as obt:lining information, serve as more or less of a rmlinder to the officer. There are several points to be remembered from year to year, cspeciaJly the rtRulation in regard to the election of the rush captain immediately after the dose of the major rushing period, so that she can make adequate and early preparation for the next rush. ing period.

Just two questionnaires were sent to the pledge supervisors, one in the fall and one in the spring. &th, as in the case of those to the rush captains, were accompanied by letters. Among the questions on the second questionnaire each supervisor was asked for comments on the notebook, which was compiled for her use, and for suggestions for discussion at Convention. The response to this request has betn very satisfactory.

last yeu a survey was made in regard to health certificates and a report made in the pre· vious annual report. This year the new regulation of "All chapten maintaining houses in which there are regular employees to handle food must require all such mlp loyees to present a clear health certificate before being employed by the chapter concerned, the expense to be borne by the em· ployee, jf possible" was p'ut into effect. A notice in regard to this regulation was sent out in the late summer of 1939 and in January of this year a fol· low·up questionnaire to ascertain whether Or not all certificates had been received was sent to the

Wchapter president for her signature and that of the Chairman of the Ahunnz Advisory Board.

Thi.s spring a letter and questionnaire was sent to each chapter delegate drawing her attention to the Mmu.aJ for Chapter Delegates and to the program planned for Convention. This materia.l was planned for the purpose of helping the dele· gate organize her work so that she might come well prepared to Convention and of reminding hee of the various essential points necessary to comp lete this preparation.

The cooperation from the chapters has been sp lendid Each chapter might be reminded of the necessity of reading a.ll mail carefully, answer· ing all questions fully, and seeing that every mat· ter is attended to promptly.

The total number of pledges this year was 1,647; last year, 1,880. The total number initiated during the year was 1,397; last year. 1,314.

Seventy·six and one.teoth per cent of this year's p led ges were initiated; last year 60 per cent.

One letter has been forwarded to the province presidents in re,gard to convention and the need for thoughtful discussion of topics at pre· and post·Con\'Cfltion conferences.

At all times the Director and the of the Central Office have ,ltiven the greatest assistance to this office, and the Assistant to the Grand President wishes to express her very sincere grati· tude to them, which is very little in comparison with what they have a.lways done so willingly for her.

Never could Ihis office perform its duties with· out the everready friendship and advice extended by oue Grand President, Miss Onken. Words are not adequate to say fully how much the en· joyment of being Assistant to the Grand Presi. dent has been more deeply felt through the close association with the Grand President.

Respectfully submitted,

ISABEL A. CURK

ASSISTANT TO THE GRAND VICE-PRESIDENT

ITH the end of the year another goal has been achieved. n B 41 now has two hun· dred dubs. Ten new clubs have been chartered and one inactive club reorganized.

Even with two hundred and two dubs the po'isibilities are far from exhausted. During the year many individual letters were written to mem· bers urging them to call resident members to· gether for the formation of a club. In March a letter was sent to 118 cities suggesting that Founders' Day was an opportune time to organize. Members and clubs can be of real service to the Fraternity in su.r.gesting persons who would be interested in getting new clubs started.

The Blillelin was ori,Q;inally intended as a means of bringing fraternity news to members who do not have the of club membership. Now the Blilltlin attempts to bring additional information and news to clubs, chapters, officers, and com· mittee members. Two issues were mailed this year. I t is that some means of reaching more individual members may be evolved.

A new Mothers' Oub has been organized at

Wisconsin B and one is under consideration at Illinois H A letter was sent in the fall to all Mothers' dubs expressing the appreciation of the Fraternity for their intcttSt in and service to the Fraternity. The letter also spoke of the achieve. ments and doings of the Fraternity. Too often the financial activities of the dubs are stressed with the result that pledge mothers' first contact with n B is a discussion of money making plans. May we make a special plea to members who are also n mothers and to those serving on Alumn:r Advisory Committen to see that Mothers' Clubs learn some of the fine things of the Fraternity, and how they may assist chapters in other than monetary ways-such as scho larship and attitudes toward pledgeship. The Mothers' Club of Missouri B gave a ChristmaJ gift to the Settlement School, and the Chattanooga Mothers' Club gave to both the Settle· ment School and the Undergraduate Loan Fund.

The Army and Navy Auxiliary has been rathel inactive this year. This is a field of activity that can be pursued in the future.

Let te r s of welcome have been written to new clu bs, th e alumnre directory checked, co rr es pond· ence with pro\ince vice-p res idents handled while " th e Grand Vice- Pres ident made chapter an d c lub visits, and assistance wa s rendered, i t is sincerely hoped. in other ways as we ll.

It was a pleas ure and privilege to visit f or Grand C o uncil Illino is A. lIIinois B-d, Illinois E, Illin o is 1-1 , and Wis co nsin B . To chapters and to the alum na! met during th e course of these visits app reciati o n is expressed foe their hospi tal ity and friendship

H avi ng so recently visited H olt H ouse and the graves o f the Fo unders buried at Monmouth, th e Founders' D ay meeting in Ind ianapo lis attended b y four hundred and fifty Pi Phis including OUf Grand Pres id e n t, seemed to be much more th an the uSllal in spi r a ti o n ,

Y o ur Ass istant to the Grand Vi ce-President went to Da yton, Ohi o, as the guest of that city Pan he ll e nic Assoc i a ti o n to spea k at their spri ng lun cheon meeting_

Reports of Province Presidents

ALPHA PROVINCE EA ST PRESIDENT

A NOTHER interesting year of 11 B 4> progress .L"\.. and history making has gone and has left me more than ever convinced of the very worth· while place we have in the li ves of our (o lleg e women today. Certainly the Fraternity may be proud of the fine girls it initiates each year. The very real pride and joy each chapter takes in strivi ng to keep at the top in n B idea l s is a thing to see.

I visited Maine A and Nova Scotia ' A in the fall and Vermont A and Vermont B in February. In March I visited Massachusetts A after which the H artford Alumnlr C l ub was kind enough to enterta in me. I was glad to be able to tell them something of the work the chapters are doing today and of the progress which has been made in the province for the past few years. Pi Phis from New H aven, Springfield, and other nearby l ocalities were a nd it was interesting to note that there were more tha n t wenty chapters represented from all parts of the country.

The only chapter in the province this year to have a visit from a Grand Council member wa s Ma ssachusetts A, which was visited by Mrs. Smith in the f al l. The enthusiasm show n by the chap t e r after her visit is a credit Dot only to the chap ter but to M rs. Smith.

Scholarship continues to be the chief co n cern of most chapters in the province and all are striving hard to attai n the coveted first pla ce This yea r we have one chapte r in second place and one i n third and we hope next year to see both of these and perhaps some of the ot h ers, in first p lace. The province ha s two Phi Beta K appas, Phi Ka ppa Phi s , Cum Laud e , and many D ean's Li st members.

Weekly news letters from each chapter were required and these have been a valuab le sou rce o f information which has comprised reports to the Grand President. The faithfulness and fine spiri t with whkh these week ly news letters are written is a constant jo),. for it shows a splendid spirit of cooperation and pr ide in each chapter. Mo nthly reports of Executive Counci l mee t ings and monthl y reports from the Pledge Supervisors and Trea surers have he l ped to point ou t the progress o f each chapter and to enable me to be of assistance before mishaps occurred The Pledge Presidents have been asked to write a monthly letter which is naturally devoted to p ledge interests and the fraternity from the pledge poi nt of view. I would like to keep many of these tied with a blue ribbon to be read in myoid age, so sweet and fine are the thoughts expressed therein. They bring closer the very real respo nsibi li ties we have, both as actives a nd alumnor, to our pledges.

Vermont A had the privilege of affiliating a transfer from Pe nnsylvania r this year, and also enjoyed the associ a tion of a graduate student from Oklahoma A. Both of these girls gave a deal of a ssistance in helping the chapter

to catch a of the nati o nal scope of n B .".

Many outsta n ding honors were held by the province-Maine A had two members of Sophomore Eagles , two Neai Mathetai, Junior Prom Committee, President of Off Campus Women, Secretary.Treasurer of 1: M 1:: and All Ma ine Women. 1I.b,:,sachuselts A had two members of Scar let Key, two Prom Queen atte nd ants, CoChairman o f Student Christian Movement, Chairman of Klatsch, Vice-President of r .1., Chairman of Ju diciary Committee and Honorable Mention at the I ntersorority Sing. Nova Scotia A had H o u se PreSident, Vi ce- President and two members of the house committee at Shirreff H all, two Gold " Ds"-one in badminton and one for work on Student Council-Debating Team Manager and the Amy Burnham Onken Award. Vermont A had Mortar Board Pres id ent and two other mem· be r s. Chairman o f Student Union, tw o members of A eronautics, Editor of Saxoniall, Women's Edi. tor of Kaleidoscope a nd President of German Club. Verm ont B had Y.W.C.A. and W.A.A. Presidents, th e first woman Editor in Chief of Cynic, thr ee members of Staff a nd Sandal, Co-ed M ajor a nd severa l attendants. These are only a few of the major honors.

Three last year's graduates from Massachusetts A lived at " 1 31" this year and conti nu ed to do their share 10 make the chapter known as a cordia l hostess.

Nova Scotia A gave up its room i n the Lord Nelso n H otel for a r oom nearer the campus o n the fir st floor of a private house which it has foun d much more convenient.

The closing of the second full )' ear as an officer in n B 4> has left me very for the boundless cooperation of a ll chapters and their advisory committees as well as for the constant helpfulness of every member of Grand Council and the n umerous other officers upon whose services I have had occasion to call. It is certainly a great privilege to be able to know first hand the reaJI y fine spirit which ex ists throughout IT B ." toda y a nd one for which I sha ll be Arateful. M ay we all treasure it and keep it safe that the actives of tomorro w may kn o w the same fine spirit.

ALPHA PROVINCE WEST PRESIDENT

As ANOTHER draws to a dose, I feel happy and encoura,.::ed by the steady progress which h:ls been made by the chapters in my province. This is largely due to the cooperation and leadership of chapter officers and the wise and efficient ,guidance of rhe alumna! advisory committees and the house chaperons. As always, the personal contacts with the chapters and the individuals, both active and alumnre, has been truly delightful and inspiring.

All of my visits were made in the fall. The D eans of Women, without exception, expressed appreciation for the cooperation give n the m by IT B 4». They offered much constructive criticism which showed the personal interest which they are taking in the chapters.

All of the five chapters in the province maintain chapter houses. The three New York chapters own their houses. Ontario A has a three story apartment and since the actives cannot live at the house, the third floor is given ove r a graduate women stude nt s of the university, each approved by the D ean of Women. Ontario B has rented a three story house this yea r, very favorab l y located in the city.

was very successful on the part of each chapter. Seventy-two girls have been pledged durin.'!; the rear, and fifty-six have been initiated. The ru shing reports have been exce ll ent. Never have I met with my criticism on any campus as to our ru shing princip les.

There is much i mprovement to be desired in our scholarship rankin,2s on the various campuses. The rankings are not indicative of poor scho larship, however. Two chap ters have raised their rankings this year. Th ere are many outstanding students in the individual chapter s that have brought honor and recog nit ion to their group.

Participati o n in activities has been very fine and in some instances has s hown marked improvement. All chapters requ i re each girl t o carry at least one outside activity. unless excused for reasons of health or an un usually heavy schedule.

All chapters have contributed ge n erously to the Settlement Schoo l and Loan Funds, and I am happy to report the provi n ce one hundred pe r cent.

The Amy Burnham Onken Award for the province went to Lucille Graham of Ontario A.

New York A initiated twelve girls th is year.

OBesides having improved their scholarship rank.ing considerably. the chapter has shown greater interest in extra curricular activities. F ifteen have been elected to honor societies this past year. The girl who is representing the chapter at Convention has been elected Editorial Editor of the Daily O'3nge.

New York. r has been well represented on the campus this fear. They have seven on the Dean 's List, two members elected to Kalon (equivalent to Mortar Board) , and two to 4t B K. I n offices they have gi rl s elected to A ssociate Editor and News Editor of Hill News, and vice.president and treasurer of the Woman's At hletic A ssociation. The chapter has initiated eleven this year.

New York A has initiated eleven girls. Two members of the chapter have been elected to the ComeJlian, the year book, and one of these girls was also elected vice-president of the Cornell United Religious Workers.

Ontario A has girls represented in nearly every major activity on the campus. They are especially active in athletics and many of the girls have betn on university teams thi year. The chapter has the presidents of both basketball and skiing committees and two more girls are members of athletic committees. Two hold office in Women's Undergraduate Association and two are on the University H ouseparty Committee for next fall.

Ontar io B initiated thirteen this spri ng. Two of the chapter were e lected to H onor Society of the University this spring. The member who is Convention dele,lo!ate is Secretary of the University Students Comm ission. Two took leading roles in the annual Convocation pia},.

It has been a g reat pri vi lege for me to be 50 closely associated with these chapters in the province, their officers and alum na:, during these past th ree years. I treasure the friendships, appreciate the cooperation and loyalty shown to me and to n B cJ? and shall watch with keen i nterest each chapter's development in the future My chapters wi ll join with me. I am sure, in exp ressing thanks and deep appreciation to the members of o ur Grand Counci l for the ins piration and assistance which they so willingly at all times. I am ,2ratefu l for the privilege of serving II B 4>

BETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

NCE more IT B ' f> approaches Convention and clo ses the records for anothe r year with a n eye to resu lt s in the ac hi evement of past hopes a n d dreams. In Beta P rovi nce we have continued to seek two th i ngs-a better fulfillment of required duties, a n d, a recogni ti on , as fine as possible, based o n worthy co ntributi on to the Frat ernity a nd campus. The things we have been ab le to accomplish have been possible la rge ly because of an underlying appreciation for the idealism of the Fraternity and what that idealism can mean to each member of IT B 4>-i ndi vid ua lly and in chapter life We are .Q; lad because we can look back and see many things well done--glad because we have seen IT 4> truly represented in spirit and achieveme nt.

The most unusua l occurre n ce in the province during th e year was the fiftieth anniversary celebration of Ohio A, rec o rded in the May ARROW. Thi s occas io n brought Miss Onken into the province once again, with the in sp irati on which on ly she ca n give. All who had the privilege o f bein g th e re felt a ne w the lasting joys that IT cfo can bring to those who keep the ir contact with her through the years. The province was fortu n ate in another contact with Grand Council through Mrs Alford, whose winning persona lity and interesting experiences are a l ways a delight to those who meet her. My visits were made in late February a nd in April , and, contact with the chapters was maintained throu,lithout the year by a very faithful a nd loya l chapter correspondence.

Scholarship has co ntinua lly stressed be· cause not on ly good standing but many coveted honors seem to depend upo n good grades. We co ntinu e to have our u ps a nd dow n s in Beta Prov in ce, with Ohio A the shini ng light, ju st now-i n first place on her campus :tftee climbing from seventh in three years. All other chap ters arc working with concern, and, a ll except one arc se parated from the near top by points that lie in the hundredths. We are expect in g happy resu lts from serious efforts, eve n this speing.

The record in activ i ties this year is marked especia ll y bv socia l and pop ul arity honors. Beta Provi n ce has had two 1by Queens this spri nJ;Peggy Julian o f Ohio B and Fran ces Williams of West Virgini a A Added to th ese w e have a Pledge Qu ee n at Ohio State. :1 Re la y Q uee n at Ohio We sleya n. a J uni or Qu ee n at Bu ckn e ll , and the " Dream Girl o f Pi Kappa Alpha " at Ohio U nive rs it y.

West Virginia A wo n first prize w ith th ei r heme· com ing deco rat io n s and Ohio A , with her lovely float. Th e act ivity record in the province has show n special distinction in dramatics, with girls who are recog ni zed as outstandi n g o n eac h cam· pu s- Rae Loui se Schultz of P e nnsylv an ia n, Ru t h Po r ter and J ane Gil more of Penn sy lva ni a r, Virginia Mull et of O hio A, Anna Eileen H ec ka rt a nd Martha Lambert of Ohio B, Barbara Clinto n, Marjorie Hartsock and H ele n e Smith o f Ohio Wesl eya n and Virgin ia Weaver of West Vir· ginia A. The province has provided leadership o n every campus i n offices of responsibi l ity. in honor· ary societies, and, in members hip in many camp us organizations. We are proud of th e achievements of many individ ual who ha ve exce lled either in leadership or intellectua l attainment.

One chang e wa s made in th e housing in the province when P e nn sy lvani a r moved fr om the o ld ap a rtm ent int o o ne entirely n ew , a nd ve ry attractive. It is conveniently located on ly a few doo rs from the campus and provides the girls with a complete housekeeping unit which is a great joy to th em. Pennsylvania B plans to reo deco rate th eir suite during the sum me r and Ohio re ·deco rated thei r cha pter room las t summer. The three h ouses of Oh io A. Ohio B, and West Virgini a A co n ti nu e to provide attrac tive settings for th e ir chapter l ife Chaperons are Mis s H aze l H art at Ohi o n , (Mrs ) Mary Est h e r Smith at Ohi o A, (Mrs.) Nell Smith at Ohio A, and,

Mrs. ]. W. Dozier at West Virginia A. Each one has contributed to the life of the chapter she serves in wars that are appreciated not on ly by the girls but by the Fraternity.

Beta Province chapters , a lu m n :!! and officers are g ra teful for the assis tance and of the Deans o f Wemen. Our contacts have been pleasant a nd helpful and we are g lad that II D 41 has co ntinued to be a satis fa ctory member of th e ir student famil),. Alumna! Ad visory Committees have also proved especia ll y loyal in their services to the ch apters and their cooperat ion has been a great help to me.

I feel persona ll y that unless a chapte r g i ves to the program of serv ice which is so much a part of t he Frat e rn ity, it ha s missed the joy of gratefu l ex p ressio n for ma n y benefits which it has rece iv ed. Pe nns ylv a nia n has just given a s uccess ful benefit dance for the Setleme nt S ch oo l whi::-h has become a traditio=t on their ca mpu s exam in ation week. Pen nsvlva ni a l"' gave a tea da n ce in April which netted a nice co ntrib ution fo r the School. Ohio A and Ohio B have made their usual fine con tribut io ns, and the oth e r two chapters are sti ll to be inclu ded. T ota l gifts to the Settlement Sc hoo l at this date are $172.92 and to the Loan Fund, $45.00.

Conditions in the provi n ce a re most encourag· iog with definite sig ns o f greater prog ress in the near future. Olapters have wor ked C'J.rnest l y and eage rl y in a fine spi rit o f fraternity ambition. I could n o t bring to a dose my t erm of office without paying tribute to many active Pi Phi s wh ose loya lt y and hard work, and, whose pleasant, friendly lette rs have been a real in spi r ation and joy to me, T o these gi rls and te'! th e fine alumn:r of Beta Province I ex press my thanks fo r the many ways in which yo u have made my work a rea l joy. And, beyond the bounds of the prov in ce, I have turned frequently to Mi ss Onke n and to the other members of G rand Council-always certain of co ns id era te help and guidance.

GAMMA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

I NA WORLD go n e mad with w ar it might seem idle to some t o sit down and write about the yea r 1939·1940 in one province in one f raternity, bu t to me the shambles abroad is all the more reason to write about the worthy accomp l ishmen ts at home.

This year, which is closing n ow with preparati o ns fo r Convention at Pasade n a, has been one o f deep satisfaction to the president of Gamma Province. In the past we have had ma ny hopes and aspirations as a province and its seven chapters; this yea r we have cashed in on many of them. Cooperation between tbe chapters and me has been excellent without exception. Each chap·

ter has had a functioning advisory committee, and great credit should go to these a l umnz who have served so faithfully a nd helpfully. Severa l alumnr groups have adopted "little sisters" from the active chapters and p ledge classes and have had lots of fun getting r ea ll y acquainted with them.

My officia l visits were made during November and December and were excellently planned by each chapter Conferences with the d ea ns of women were most interesting. On several cam· puses the deans and administration are no t in sympathy with fraternities and know the chapters only by the individual girls_ P i Phis were well

spoken o f i n th ese cases and never did I hear that either ch a pt e rs or individll11s failed to cooperate in any way. On the co ntruy I received the im· press io n that administrations (orud always dq:>end o n Pi Phis which is very gratifying in view of the p resent cheaply sensational anti-fraternity move· ment.

On h tw o Gamma ProviDCc dlapters, Vir,lli ini . r and N o rth Carolina A. have houses. VicAinia A owns 3. lodge 00 college property while Maryland A and District of Columbia A have a part ments South Carolina A and North Guoline B have roo ms in the college Panhellenk buildings

Rusl'lin g was su c cessful in every chapter last fa ll, and present active membership ranges from 23 in the smallest chapter to 42 in the iargrst. Two chapters had the di stinction of 27 e xcellent pledges last fall, and North Carolina A IS now very proud of the fact that it has initiated every one of its 27 . Three chapters are burdened with some form of limitation system

Scholanhip ha s been the weakest point in Gamm a Province for some yeus; this year it was one o f the strongest points Fo ur chapters out o f the sevf:n are in first pla c e standing now-Virginia r, N o rth Carolina A, North Carolina B, and the actives of of Columbia A. That is a record we are indeed proud of. Virginia r came up from its lowly seventh place to first in one lC3p. The oth er thett chapters without exception have improved their scholastic standing this year. Gamma Province now has nine Phi Beta Kappas.

Before Convention time this province hopes to be one hundred per cent in its contributions to the Loan Fund and Settlement School Fund. It is already one hundred per cent except in one instance. Three chapters had Arrow Craft sales with excellent results.

Betty Moore of Virginia r was the winner of the province Amy B. Onken Award this year and it Wajj presented to her at the joint Founders' Day celebration of that chapter with the Richmond Alumor Club.

Gamma Province has boomed so in extracurricular activities honors this year that it is almost necessary to list the chief ones for each chapter.

Maryland A has had the president of Goucher Christian Associati c n, one of the biggest offices on the campus. the president of Choir, a Hall president, associate editor of the weekly, president and vice-president of Biology Club, vice.president of the sophomore class and Glee Club, stcretary of French Club and Athletic Association, and assistant news editor of the weekly.

The whole province is now eagerly awaiting the convening of Convention. A Round-Robin letter has been around among the delegates. Six of the chapters will have other actives besides their delegat e in Pasadena which is very interesting s i nce Gamma Province will have to cross the whole continent to get there

My great appreciation goes out to Grand Council a.nd all fratern ity officers for their splendid help to the province and me this past year.

DELTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

My SECOND yea r as De lt a P rov in ce Presid ent has brought me many new and interesting experie nces, more new friends, and a deeper appreciation of the F raternity. I am, ind eed, g rateful for the rare privilege of working with the six active chapters and I bel ieve th at the y are making r ea l progress.

Delta Provi nce had the pleasure of en tertaining two membe rs o f Grand Cou n c il during the firs t semester AdCle T aylor Alfo rd (Mr s. T N.), ARROW Editor, visi t ed t he two Michi ga n Chapters. Ruth Barr ett Smith (Mrs. Warre n T.), Grand Vi ce- Pres id e nt, vis i ted the four In diana Chapters. Each chapte r ga in ed in inspiration and national viewpo int from these two Grand Cou ncil membe rs.

Sin ce each chapter was visited the first semeste r by a member of Grand Cou nci l, I did n o t make my officia l visits until the latter part of the second semester.

Confe rences with th e respect ive D ea ns of Wom. en proved to be very interes ting. On o n e o r two campuses the deans are not as much in sym pa t hy w ith fr ate rniti es as th ey might be, yet , in no ins tance did I hear th at n B Chapters or II B <I> members fail ed to cooperate wi th th e a dmini s trati on.

Th e housing si tu a ti o n is t he same as las t year. I ndiana A has a s uite of rooms in the co llege dormit ory. Th ese rooms were beautifull y r edecorated recen tl y. The othe r five chap ters main · ta in attractive , comfortable, and practically n ew houses.

I was pleased to find such charming wome n as chaperons. Almost a ll of them seemed g enuin e ly interested in helping the gi rls .

The re h as bee n a wholeso me att it ude toward scholarsh i p in a ll ch apte rs, th o ugh the comparative rating on some campuses has not b een as hi gh as we wou ld like it to be. Indi a na A w as th e o nly chapter that stood first among women 's fraternities in scho lars hip for th e first semester of thi s schoo l yea r H owever, every g r oup is work· ing hard to raise its schola rship rating and I believe at the end o f this semester nearly a ll chaptcrs i n D e lt a Province will show improveme nt in scho la rshi p.

P art icipat io n in ex tra curricu l ar act i vi t ies has co ntinu ed to improve in each chapter throu ghout the year. M o re membe r s are tak ing part in activo ities ra th e r than letting a few members kee p up the reputation of th e group. All the chapters have exceeded eve n my fondes t hopes in this particu lar phase of campu s life.

Th e ru sh ing season was most successf ul in every chapter Four of our chapters have some form of the qu ota sys tem All th e chapters have had p leasa nt Panhell e nic re la ti onship s.

The finances of the chaplers are exce ll ent. All six of the chapters have co ntributed generous l y and un se l6 sh ly to the Settlement Sc hool and th e Loa n Fund . Th e four ch apters th at li ve in hou ses ow n ed by n B 4> are sat is fa cto ril y takin g ca r e of their financial obl iga ti o n s.

A ssociation with th e extraordinari ly h igh type of gi rls w ho serve n B 4> so loya lly and who eagerl y advance the development of the ir chapters a nd th eir Fraternity has been a consta nt source of inspirati o n Th e chapters in Epsil on Provi n ce have been st rengthened and i n sp ired by the unu sual opportunity of having Lois Snyder Fin ge r present at the Provin ce Conference held in Columbia and then to follow up these contac ts with visits to thei r chapters.

I visited the Mi ssouri chapte r s in October, Tennessee A the first week in D ecembe r, and as

I l ive in Loui svi ll e I had contacts with Kentucky A all year, althoulth I did visit them officia ll y for conferences a nd meetings in ApriL Misso uri r a nd Ken tu cky A both rank first on their campus in scholar ship whi le T ennessee A and Mi sso uri A have a ranking of third.

I feel that the have worked very hard this year a nd t hat when the ,'trades for the last se· meste r o f t his year are tota ll ed we will see th e results.

T his was a wonderful cushing year for the province as a whole. The pledge classes were fine o nes and th e num ber initiated out of each class wa s gratifying in all but one chapter. 1 f ee l that

I shall mention only a few of the most important honoN. Missouri B has the president of Mortae Board, 1 e B 1(, 1 A A X , 1 Ternion (junior women's hono rat}'), 1 00 Freshman Commission, the copy edJtor of Stllt/e", Assistant Editor of HaJchel, the circulation manager of EiioJ, 1 Quad Club boud member, 2 Orientation 7 members who participated in the May Fete. Homecoming Queen, Vice-President of W.S .G..A., I maid to the freshman popularity Queen, 1 Engineer's Maid, and an honorary member of R O T e.

Tennessee A has 1 l: T, 1 B B B, I us Independants, 1 e A Vice-Preside n t of Sophomore Class, Secretary Senior Class, Varsity song leader, Leader Junior·Senior Prom, 1 Who's Who, five out of the five places in the superlative contest and the Homecomin!= Queen.

Kentucky A has a member of Pallas Club (local Mortar Board), the most outstanding freshman, Treasurer of Y.W.CA ., Vice-President of Home Economics Club, the most beautiful gir l , the most intelligent ,l;irl, Engineers' Queen, Vice-president and Treasurer of the Freshman Class, Vice· president and secretary of the Sophomore Class and Secretary of the Junior Class. They won the Swimming Cup and the Athletic Cup.

Each of the five chapters in the province has contributed liberally to the Settlement School and the Loan Fund. Missouri B gave $ 1 00 to the

ASettJement School which I think deserves special thanks . JOe housing conditions io the province rema.in the same with the aceptioo of A s new house. a picture of which was shown on the cover of the February ARROW. The house is owoed by the Chapter House Corporation which was fonned by the alumna! club The Mothers' Club gne the chapter Venetian blmds and dra· peries for the living room and the .Iumnz gave them dining room draperies and a new stove chapter bought a new radio -victrola of they are very proud Many things are needed this year and the chapter is hoping to have some new slip covers. It is a lovely little house and the girls really do use it.

Missouri A is the only chapter living in its chapter house. It is a beautiful colonial type home, one of which any chapter would be proud. Mrs. Curtis Hill who has been their chaperon sin ce 1926, manages the house beautifully. The chapter is devoted to her and she is sincerely interested in thei r welfare. Missouri U has a lovely room in the Womans' Building. The Missouri B house fund keeps it beautifully furnished Missouri r has an apartment near the campus. Last year they added Venetian blinds which improved the already atUactive apartment immensely. Tennessee A's newest additions to their bungalow are a new piano, a gift from the Mothers' Cl ub. and a new steel cabinet for their archives, a gift from the alumna! club.

The Deans of Women were complimentary to Our chapters in each school I visited . In every instance the Deans seemed to be grateful for the cooperation and fine leadership of our girls and mentio ned our outstandin.a; members.

The advisory boards have most active and their willing ness to help the chapters is responsible for much that has been accomplished.

I think that the Tenness« A Mothers' Gub is deserving of special thanks for their interest in II B and its philanthropic project as well as in Tennessee A which was evidenced by their can· tribution to both the Settlement School and the Loan Fund.

I have been ("Ver so happy in my work and deep l y grateful for the many n ew friendships and experiences and for the ever constant help of Miss Onken and other officers o f the Fraternity whom I have had the privilege of knowing, and working wit h . Respectfu ll y submitted,

ZETA P ROVINCE PRESIDENT

REVIEW of Ihis, my third, year as Province President brings out of the mass of corre· spondence and reports a sense of real progress and hi,l:th hopes for the future of Zeta Prov i nce . T he year was begun last June with a province con· ference which proved to be of great inspirational and informative value to the actives who attended. There they had the opportunity of knowing our new Grand Secretary, Lois Snyder Finger . There. too, representatives of Georgia A enjoyed their first province-wide contacts. 1 hope next year many more actives may enjoy this enriching 0:' perience.

Chapter visits were made by the Province Presi ·

dent in November. It was a joy to see again those I had known on my last visit and to meet the new p ledge groups. Every effort was made by the chapters to extend a fr iendly welcome and the eager cooperatio n of the gi rl s made even the work a pleasure.

The gains in scholarship throughout the province have been most gratifying. All chapters are now in the upper half on their campuses . Two hold first place. Alabama A has held first place for seven consecutive semesters. Only one chapter lost ground, s lipping from first to second place. These gains ha\'c been due to an intense interest on the part of all members in scholarship and re -

fleet representative good grades cather than bril· liant work on the part of a few alone. There arc two Phi Beta Kappas, onc K three of similar o rg aniza ti ons and fourteen members of various other honorarics

Many social honors have come to the chapters. Four were in May Courts. onc Freshman Beauty Queen. five in annual Beauty Sections. Several others were in dance lead-Outs. and in fcaternity beauty courts. One was the Pi Kappa Alpha Dream Girl. Seven are members of social clubs.

Pi Phis in every chapter arc taking part in the extracurricular life of the campus Many have held minor offices, important to the col· leg e but too numerous to mention here, and a few in each chapter have been outstanding in their contribution. There are theee Mortar Boards, three in organizations of similar character, and three in lP'ho'.1 IJVho in Amuit"an CoJJegn and Univnsities. Two """er. Panhellenic presidents, one president of YWCA, annual editor, seven on publication staffs and contributors, one business manager of the :lO nual, and one associate editor of the new spaper. Three were on debating teams, one class president, c l1aitttHtn of Even Demonstration, Juni or Minstrels , May Day, and of the Usher Committee. Several were on Sophomore and Freshman Councils and Commissions. Spring elections revea led that the newer members are following the older girls into key positions as class president, Panhelleni c President, vice'president of the body, and many other minor positions. Intramural sports have become increasingly popular in all chapters and the Pi Phis have entered wholeheartedly into the project with a fair measure of success in all fields

The Provin ce Amy Burnham Onken Award was give n to Mary Margaret Price of Alabama A.

All chapters in the province have contributed this year both t o the Settlement Schoo l and to the l oan Fund.

All chapters are adequately housed with the possib le exception of Florida r . This chapter occupies Mayflower H all. one of the residence halls of the

Ico ll ege. They have had the entire use of it this year. But th e re is no adequate arrangement for a chapter room Th e chapter hopes to be able to alleviate this situation in the near future. Georgia A's beautiful new home was the cover picture of the May 1940 ARROW. It has meant a ,great deal to Ihis chapter that the Fraternity enabled it to have a house early in its chapter existence. Florida A and Alabama A are provided rooms by the co llege. Florida A completely redecorated and refurnished its room this year and has made much more use of it for ente rt aining than in recent years. Fl orida B is the on ly other chapter living in a house of its own. They have had to make additional repairs this year, but the house is adequate and sti ll holds it s ow n among the other house s o n the campus.

The cooperation of the chapters has been heartwarming and has made the work of province president a joy Often too little tribute is paid to those loyal hardworking actives who hold chapter offices. Much is requircd of them and they do it willingly and well. Their leadership and sensible hand ling of problems he l ps build the strong chapters of which we are so proud.

No report would be complete without expressing appreciation for the splendid work of the a lumn.r advisory boards. This alumn.r backing is o f vital importance to the chapter all the time a nd in time of emergcncy when problems arise that require experience in handling them. Any sacrifice necessary to carry on this work is worthwhile in building strong chapters.

To the members of Grand Counci l and other national officers and particularly to Miss Onken, ] want to express my gratitude. Their advice and cooperation have furnished the inspiration needed to e nab le me to carry on this work. This year is crowded with memories of IT ell friends I will cherish a l ways, and ] am grateful for this opportunity to serve IT n 4>.

ETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

T WAS with a feeling of hesitancy that ] accepted the appo in tment, late in October, of Eta Provin ce But the year has proved to be a great source of inspiration and it has been a pleasure to work with the seven fine chapters in this province. My regard for the Fraternity has been strengthened for its fine idealism and for its wisely planned organization.

Every chapter i s working very hard to raise iu scholarship eating. First pl:l.ce on a campus is such a difficult attainment. With every other wornan's national working for the same objective, it becomes in creasinglv difficult to attain. There is usually a slight difference only by a few tenths of a point_ Every chapter has raised its average, with the exception of one chapter, which dropped .052. Illinois B-.o. holds the record of being first (or the last cleven consecutive semes ters lIIinois 1-1 had been first for the four preceding cons«utive semesters but the first semester of this ye:u. dropped to second pl:tce. There were several hows of incom pletes which could not be made up until the second semester, as the department had to present a play before the work could be

made up. When these were re-av e raged, the chapter stood. first, but the average for the semester was not re-averaged in the college office.

The province was very pleased to have the Balfour Cup awarded to Illinois B-A.

The Amy B. Onken Award for Eta Province went to Elizabeth Duerr, of JIlin ois H, Decatur, lllinois.

All of my visits to chapters were made in December and January. ] visited n r at Lawrence College, Appleton, Wis., in March The Province Vice-President, two actives from \'qisconsin A and five from Wisconsin n visited at the same time. r had dinner one night in March at the house at Illinois E; attended the Founders' Day lun cheon at Decatur, celebrated by the Illinois J[ chapter and Decatur club. Besides giving a talk o n the Founders, J presented. the Amy B Onken Award to Elizabeth Duerr I also attended. th e Founders' Day dinner at the house at JIlinoi s Z, given by the active chapter and the alumn:r club of Champaign-Urbana. This was a party, also, for Miss Fleming, chaperon retiring after twentynine years . I was unable to attend the Founders'

Day luncheon in Chicago, celebrated by the IIIi. nois E chapter and the Chicago Alumn:r dubs:.

Official Grand Council visits were made by Marianne Reid Wild to Wisconsin B, Illinois A. B·o, E, and n. Stephenson Purdunn visited Wisconsin A and Illinois Z

Pledge supervisors have stressed the importance of pledge training and they have worked faithfully for the development of the pledges. In every chapter the supervisors have been outstand. ing girls.

Rushing has been most successful in every chapter and outstanding girls were pledged Wisconsin A and Illinois A are the only chapters that do not have a quota system. The quota system works morc of a hardship on Illinois H than on any other chapter, 35 it is necessuy to pledge out of town girts , to live in the house. and diffi· cult to choose from Jarge group of desirable town ,girls, amon,!; them many legacies. There were 1'1 girls pledged and 102 were initiated JIlin ois E , Illin ois Z, and Illinois n initiated the largest pledge classes on their resp«tive campuses. Illinois E's pledges led the campus in scholarship.

ln activities, Eta Province has won distinctive honors this year. I wish space permitted my naming all of them, but they are given in detail in the chapter reports elsewhere in this issue.

At homecoming, Wisconsin A won second in house decorations; lIIinois A won first with their float; Illinois E won first in house decoration, and honomble mention for their float; Illinois II won first in house decoration.

All chapters have supported the Settlement School and Loan Funds 100 per cent.

I should like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the loyal support, and assistance which has been given me by the

Oalumnle advisory boards. Each chapter has strong and active support from the alumnr.

Wisconsin A. , Illinois E, and Illinois Z have large beautifully furnished Most of the Illinois H chapter live in Decatur, so the house there i.s small but very Jo\' ely Wisconsin B is hav ing a new house built for next year and they are thrilled about this The h9use is used only for meetings, initiations, and social times as all the 8irls live in dormitories. Illinois A has two rooms in the reAistrar's house This is very attractive, the North Shore Alumn.: has given much of the furnishings and the Sprin,Rfield club has helped, and Grand Council presented the chapter with some chairs.

JIlinois E and Illinois Z are losing their efficient chaperons. Mrs. Stites is retiring after seven years. I was unable to attend a lovely reception given her at the house of Illinois E

The Deans of Women have had no criticism to ,!live of the chapters and the This is in· deed gratifying They all spoke of the maintenance of high standards, leadership, perfect cooperation and 3 democratic attitude shown by members of II B 4>.

Eta Province is looking forward with a great dea l of pleasure to Convention . Fine girls have been chosen as delegates and they should bring back enthusiasm and practical ideas to their groups wh ich will add to the strength of the chapter

The contacts, throu,lZ:h correspondence and in a personal way. with other fraternity officers have been an encou.ragement to me in evcry instance. I wish to express my deep appreciation to all the members of Grand Council and cspecially to Mrs Stoolman and Miss Onken for their counse l and advice.

Respectfully submitted, MnuAM E. WILUAM:S

THETA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

NE great benefit of finishing a given period of work i n any field is the opportunity which comes of drawing conclusions and by them. Experience gained in my two years as Theta Province President has shown itself most valuable_ This is true not only in the n ecessary routine of such detailed work, but also in contacts with in. dividuals a nd groups. Chapter a nd National officers have continued to endea r themselves by their unfailing coope ration Preparing for Convention with my delegates h as been increasingly inspiring.

The regular annual visits to chtlpters last fall gave me a chance to know the girls at the outset of the year. Wars and rumors thereof were everywhere about us in Winnipeg and the .';:irls were finishing their quota of sweaters to be donated by Pan he ll e nic for the evacua ted chi ldren, a pretty collection of sweaters, but s3d in implication.

Additional help and inspiration have been given to Manitoba A, North Dakota A, and Minnesota A this spring by regular visits from Miss Onken. Possession of half the Stool man Vase by Iowa r has made all of us happy in our Province, and has been a constant source of pride to the chapter itself.

At the end of last school year, 1939, Minnesota A, Jowa A, Jowa B, and I owa r held first place in scholarship on their campuses. Various reasons have been assigned to the fall from grace of

some of these groups during the present year, but we are hoping that 6nal reports for the current year will show that we have not slipped very far. Scho la stic honors for the province have included 2 Phi Beta Kappas, , Sigma Epsilon Sigmas, , Phi Upsilons, 1 <II K 'Cf>, ION, 2 Epsilon Sigmas (equivalent of B K) . One had the highest grades in a commerce school. and one held the highest grades in the entire college for the past twO years.

Activities have been as fine this year as last. For the year just cl osi ng there have been nine Mortar Boards; for the year 1940·1941. recent elections ha\'e made 12 new Mortar Boards. Chapters have won first places in Homecoming floats and house decorations, specialty acts; have had presidencies of Y .W.C A ., 2 U.W.A., 2 l: A I , Mortar Board, Pan hellenic Council. IT A e, CentraliA WS, Cap and Gown, Golf Club, Home Economics Club of over a thousand members, X a 41, honorary creative writing fraternity, \f) E 0, H orticu ltural Club, Pep Oub, Foods and Nutrition Club, Child De· velopment Club; memben of IP ho's IPho, Lady Sti ck of Arts; HaWk'" Beauty Queen, Honorary Cadet Colonel, and Lieutenant·Colonel; May Queen; Homecoming Queen; leader of Junior Prom; Mecca Queen. Engineers' Queen, Grey Gown members, and best-dressed girl on campus Eulalia Klingbeil, Iowa Z, won the Amy B Onken Award for Theta Province.

Contributions to the Settlement School and to the Undergraduate Loan Fund have been given by every chapter, and the Magazine subsc ription s. while not so high as they might have been, have neve rtheless been very estimable. Iowa A has en· joyed new rooms this year, made attractive by com· bined efforts of actives and a lumnre in MI Pl easant. Beautiful gifts to the chapter by the Buding. ton alumnlr club and the Council Bluffs club were gratefully accepted by the chapter. Manitoba A conti nu es to find the Pan hellenic House a com· fortable and attractive home, shared with six other women's fraternities. The other four chapters cherish and care for their beautiful homes as usual. They arc envied justly by our two chapters which are not permitted to have houses.

Reports from the Dea ns of Women in conference have again been full of praise for the dependable type of who make up our chapters everywhere. One chapter ha s the e nviable reputati on (and I daresay many others too) o f being the most thoughtful and courteous to its chaperons and guests at parties of all groups on the campu s. Thi s fine characterization was made not only by the D ea n of Women , but also by One of the men professors.

Our chaperon roll has changed since last year. Mrs. Large, chaperon o f Iowa Z, became ill in the and had to leave, much to the regret of the whole ch ap ter She had endeared herself to all the girls who knew her in many ways. Her successor is Mrs. Brow n. Mrs. Owens, Mother

IBrown and lI.fo th er Hall are still with their chapters.

Mother Hall was ill during first semeste r but was able to return to the Minn esota Alpha house after Christmas. Mrs. H ox ie has again been with I owa r M embers o f that chapter expressed their deep affeClion for her, by obtain ing permission to make her a member of their chapter. Her very original and clever "ETT IES " co ntinu e to appear at tactful and impressive intervals o n the Bull eti n Board.

Th e quota system goes along as before with no more chapters under its spe ll than before. In spite of it, rushing resu lts were highly commendable. A tendency was n o ti ceable on several campuses this year, f o r girls to fail to turn in preference slips. To help do away with this, one Pan hellenic has raised it s rushing f ee.

Advi sory Boards have given their same kind of help by close contacts and sou nd advice that was -'liven last year.

Prepa rati on for Convention i s going forward at thi s time, with real enth u siasm being show n by all the delegates. With this alluring event in the very near future , we co nclude that this had been a trul y fine year i n Theta Province, that we a re to our chapte rs for thei r cooperation, and to Miss Onken for her patient and unfailing help.

Respectfully submitted,

GERALDINE MARS RISTINF,

IOTA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

T IS indeed a pleasure to review the activities and achievements of the seven chapters of I ota Provin ce. Thi s year has brought many fine accomplishments which can , more or less, be measured in a material way; but better even than that, is the splendid attitude and earnest desire of the girls to do what is expected of them.

Several of the chapters were visited in the fall, the remaining ones in the spring. Miss Onken visited South Dakota A, Nebraska B, Kan sas A. and Kansas B, conducting the initiation ceremo ny for severa l, and inspiring all.

The scholarship rec ord of the province is the best it has been in years. South Dakota A, Kan sas B, and Wyoming A rank first on their campuses. Nebraska B and Colorado A are second on the comparative lists; and both Kansas A and Colorado B show improvement. The following have representation in ct B K: South Dakota A one, Kan sas A two, and Colorado A four. IT K ct honors went to one Kansas B and to three Wyomi ng As. Kansas B has three Omicron Ns, and both Kama s A and Kansas B report o n e e 2: ct Colorado B has three Alpha Lambda tas, and Wyoming A president of :E A I. The Kansas B pledge class all made their grades, and so were a 100 per cent class for initiation.

In extra-curricular activities the chapters hav e as outstanding as in scholarship. For the first time, every chapter has had one or more in M ortar Board. South Dakota A, Nebraska B Kansas A and Colorado B held the presidency of Associated W Omal Students, Kansas B held the presidency of the Young Women 's Christian Association, and Colorado A and Wyoming A held the

Mortar Board presidency. Not all chapters have announced Mortar Board members for next year but the following have reported elections so far: South Dakota A one, Nebraska B o ne, Kansas B one, Colorado B three. and Wyoming A three. A member of Colorado B was recentl y elected Editor of the school paper, the first woman to hold this position for tw enty -five years. Every chapter has had Beauty Queen s, I ce Queen s, H omecomi ng Queens, and Junior Prom Queen s, and if all were lined up, would make quite a regal procession. Wyoming A had one of its members chose n as the " Most Popular Coed " for the third time. The chapter felt, because this girl had won it twice, they would not put her up this year; so the Independents put her name up and she was again chosen Several chapters also had H o norary Cadet colonels and majors. In every field the chapters have end eavored to do their best-dramatics, intramural s, pub li cat ions, departmental o rgani zations and the like. and aside from receiving many fine honors in these fields they have enjoyed par· ticipating in them.

This year finds every chapter in Iota Province comfortably housed. Co lorado B moved into its new home early this year. This chapter, being in an urban university, required a diffe rent type house than the others, and this one fulfills th e needs very nicely. It is most gratifying to see the lovel y homes and know the girls are living comfortably.

Rushing was most success ful in every chapter_ Several chapters have to rush under the quota syStem which makes it more difficult, but the outcome was successful in every instance.

The alum.rue advisory committees continue thei.r devoted service to the chapters and are of inestimable value. u arc the chaperons•• ho pl., such a n important role The reports from the Deans of Women have been most satisfying and pJeasins. All in .11, Iota Province has enjoyed a most profitable year and its president has enjoyed the CODta cts and cooperation of every chapter.

Iu I complete my term of office I wish to take this opportunity to thank my chapten for their c0operation , the alumnae for their support and i nterand Miss Onken and Grand Council (or their counsel and inspiration

FAITH MAaTIN HANNA

KAPPA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

A S THIS second year of my work with the Pm.n ternit)' comes to a conclusion, I am convinced that there IS a dull moment in the life of Il Province President. Each day brings a message of some accomplishment or some honor for at least one of my sevm chapters. This report will attempt to give you. brief swnmary of these thinA' which have meant so much to me during this year.

While none of the KJppa Province chapters won a first place in comparative scholastic stand· ing, we boast of two second places. three third places and two fourth . Again, scholarship has been s tressed. and we hope for a better record next yeu.

Extracurricular acuvilles will. in a measure. make up for our failure to lead any of our campuses in schollJ'$hip. These .ttainments have been the source of great joy and pride. Among our most important achievements art the following: 3

• B Ks; 1 president. 1 vice' president, and 6 new elections to A. A 3 presidents, 1 vice-president and 11 members of Mortar Board (exclusive of o fficers); 6 selections for Who's Who in Ameri(an Colleges ana UnivHsi/;,s; 1 of A W.S.; 3 student body secretaries; vice-president and 5 student council membtrs; and 12 members of Ashbel Literary Society; president and 8 members of Pierian Uterary Society; vicepresident of Y W.CA. and 3 Y W CA. cabinet members; 8 class officers; 4 offices of national honorary Greek letter organizations; 2 editors of major campw publications; eight year Book beauties and several queens, maids and duchesses for different events of importance in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana

OJaperons in Kappa Province are of the very best in the country. I feel sure. Four of the chap4 ten live in chapter houses. one has an .partment. one a small cottage wed only for meetings, social

Ifunctions, etc ; and one a large room in a Panhellenic House. Lodges seem imminent on the campus of Southern Methodist Univenity, so Tens B may be enjoying its own Lodge instead of a small part of an apartment, next year , It gives me pleasure to report that each chapter in Kappa Province bas bad the helpful advice of an interested and active adviso ry comm i ttee during 1939-40.

The Province was also 100 cent in its contributions to the SettJement School and the Loan Fund. In my opinion there has b«n improvement and progress in nearly every chapter during the year 1939-40, but we are far from satis6ed with ourselves, and are determined to experience an evm $ceater improvement in 1939-40 after the in. spiratl on of an o ther Acrat National Convention Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Finger contributed a great deal to the chapters they visited, and in each instance I received a most enthusiastic letter from the chapter president about what the visits bad meant to her and to her group.

Pi Beta Phi Fraternity, and Kappa Province, particularly. have suffered an immeasurable loss in the death of Nita Hill Stark last She will ever be remembered for her many kindnesses to our chapters and officers and for her willing help and constant enthusiasm and love (or the Fr'4 ternity and its work.

My gratitude goes to each member of Grand Council for her help and inspiration to me, and especially to Miss Onken upon whom I all so often an d who is always ready with the proper and prompt answer to my difficulty. Another year of work with these five officers convinces me that we were wiser than we knew when we selected our Grand Council members

LAMBDA PROVINCE PRESIDENT

T HAS • great pleasure to work with these fine chapters in Lambda Province this year The Province was unfortunate in losing Janet H.wkins Mont&omery as their President. for sbe was a great inspiration to them and during ber year in office did many fine things for the chapters It was a real challenge to continue her splend id work. The whole-hearted response and complete willingness to cooperate on the part of the whole Province was gratifying, and I shall be eternally grateful for their helpfulness.

Mrs. Finger visited half of the chapters in the Province in the spring and left a lasting and helpful impression with the girls of those chapters fortunate enough to have had her. We were indeed sorey that the illness of her husband prevented her from continuing her visits

I was fortunate to be able to visit the chapters in the f.ll. to know my girls. the alumne, and advisory boards, and to h.ve that penonal contact early in the school year made my work easier. and in tum the ch.pters received more help from me The satisfaction of knowing these fine girls and being closely associated. with them is • privilege I shall long cherish. .

This year has a very satisfactory one in re· gard to scholarship. It is indet'd regrettable that Alberta A cannot have any scholastic rating given them for they are good students and would compare very favorably with our State chapters. With the exception of ODe chapter in the Province, all of the ch.pters finished no lower than in third place on their respective campuses. This was a very nice gain for some of the chapters. The

groups arc scholarship conscious and are trying to i mpro ve their Much credit should be given to Harriett J o hnstone for work with the chapten in scholarship; her helpfulness is "ideot in every chapter.

The year was very successful to aJl the groups in rushing . The quota system djd not affect \Vash. inglon n as badly as we had expected. Due to the huge number of girls registered for rush, Washington n was allowed to pledge more girls than had anticipated All chapters pledged vcry desirable girls.

The chaperons in the Province acc all fine women and add a great deal to the chapters We are very unfortunate in losing Mrs. Smith, who has been with Id aho A for ten With the exception of Idaho A and Alberta A. who arc seeking a house mother to fill Margaret Nickerson's position. the chapters will all have their chaperons back The loya lty and devotion of these wormo to their chapters h ave added more to Our group' than we will ever be able to comprehend. Their helpfulness to a visiting officer and their willingness to be of service to the Fra te rnity is invaluab le

I have enjoyed my a dvisory boards a great deal. It is a pleasure to know that some are willing to give freely of their time and service to help de. velop the chapters and to give them sympathetic understand in,,::;. The position our advisory boards hold in the Fraternity cannot be over.rated Their close contacts with the active chapters; their knowl . ed,ite of local university and Pan hellenic conditions. is a help to a officer.

To know that the Deans of Women in the entire Province speak very hi.'thlv of our chapters is aRain proof of our strenelh. They all consider our chapters leaders in all campus acti vities and ad· mire the high standards of our Fraternity.

The chapters in Lambda Province are exceeding· Iy important in campus activities. All chapters are leaders and have enviable records The most out· standing oncs arc: 2 ., B Ks , 9 cf> K cfI s, 10 Mortar Boards, 2 Mortar Board Presidents, 2 Editors of Year BoOks, 1 Prrsident and 2 Treasurers of A .W .S., 1 Re,litional A.W.S. Chairman, 3 Junior Class S«retaries, 1 Secretary of Student BodY. 2 May Queens, 7 A It. ds, 1 Junior Advisor. 10 T Os, 1 Pccsident of Associated Students. 8 Who's Who in American and Un;flers;. I;es, 1 Junior Prom Queen, and 3 Juni o r Prom Attendants Two P residents of W A.A • 1 Freshman and 1 Sophomore Class President, 1 Romantic Language Scholarship to France.

The Province was 100 per cent in its contributions to the Settlement School a nd the Loan Fund . All the chapters but Alberta A own their own homes and are very comfortable. Alberta A rents a cottage situated across from the campus.

The chapters are eagedy awaiting time (or Con· vention The delegates will return to t heir chapters with renewed enthusia$m and inspiration Six of them Ire Presidents of their chapters and I am sure their convention experience will help to better 6t them for their positions.

1 have enjoyed and considered it a privilege to serve my Fraternity as Lambda Provin ce President this year. I .hall always cherish the friendships that I have made and strengthened durinp; this of service in n B • I wish to express my deepest ,Q:ratitude to Miss Onken for her nC:\'er failing help and inspiration; also to my predeces· sors, Janet Hawkins Montgomery and Isla McCain Donert, for their assistance and encouragement.

MU PROVINCE PRESIDENT

AS THB final reports come in from the chapters n in Mu Provin ce, it is with a feelin$t of satis. faction that the results are compiled. The prov· inee with its SC"' en chapters has tried hard to live up to the ideals and aims of our Fra ternity and for the most part have succeeded very well.

This year Utah A had the pletSure of a visit from Mrs. Alford. All of the other chapters were visited by Mrs Fin ger the year before. My vuits were m ad e in the year and the officers were very hithful in keeping me informed of condi. tions in the various groups.

In scholarsh i p there has beco a general improve· ment throughout the province. Here may we pause to point with pride to Nevada A who has been in fitst place on their campus (oe the past two semesters; to California A whose house average was +10 and +11 for the last two quarters; to Califoenia B whose comparative rating rose from eighteenth to fourth a nd to California r rising from eighth to fourth place There were three n B l\. elections, one 4J K ., and one A A 6

In activities the chapters have had splendid success. Thue were eleven members elected to Mortar Board or to similar groups while three chapters held the presidency of this organization on their campus. wt year we had the and a vicepresident of Y.W C.A and this next year there will be two president; a vice·president of tM student

body; one Panhellenic president ; president of W.A.A.; editor of an annual for W second year; A W.S treasurer and many class officers These ace the major offices. There were maoy minor of· lien held by our girls that Ire too nu merous to mention.

Rushi ng was unusually success(ul with one exception. One hundred fifty.two Aiels were pledged throughout the province. A rushing tea W!l:S given in Los An.p;e1es for graduating hi$th school !Ileniors this spring. Girls were invited who were planning to attend Stanford, California at Berkeley and at West Los An.c:eles, Southern California, and Ali· zona. It was very interesting to see the two Los Angeles chapters working together to make this party successful

The Deans of Women whom 1 contacted aU spolce highl y of the chapters and had very little criticism to offer. They were appreciative of the cooperation they had received

With the exception of one advisory board all of the others have worked well with the chapters and have been most roopemtive The help of 10ys.1 women is so n«essary for the success of any chapter that too much praise cannot be given them Through their intelligent efforts errors ace checked before they become problems Housclceeping arrangernenu are smoothed out and moce desirable living conditions arc made.

During the lut year 00 house motlxts were present at an, of the chapters. All were experi · eoad women with fine iudgment and entirel, capable of AuidioR our JJifls and watching over the pbysical routine of the hotUe.

Financially all groups in this province are in good condition. All are living in houses owned by DB and arc cardull,. taking care of their ligations The Jiving conditions at Utah were g reatJy UnJ)coved with the additi o n of • new w i ng to the howe . Slttping rooms were added. a new dining room, ki tchen. and chapter room. !he old part of the house was aU redecorated it the feeling of a new house. California A is planning to remodel the old room and to redecorate the old wing. California B moved out of their h o use in the early spring and will in the fall to • completely rejuvenated bouse. The attentions will amount to about twenty thousand dol. lars At California. r a new wing is to be added which will house a new kitchen, bedrooms. and ga rages A new chapter room will be built in th e old scrtion of the house. These plans when fin. is hed will cost about $l6,OOO.

One of the most important things for the well being of fraternitIes is to have young men come to college next fall who are fraternity minded and to have their parents friendly to the fraternity program_ That means that every man who wears a Greekletter badge ought to consider himself a missionary, if not an evangelist, to help the public, and particularly those who are immediately concerned with the college problem, to get an accurate picture of the part the present day college fraternity plays in the educational world_

AU you need is to deal with facts, but you need to know these facts_ For instance:

College fraternity men for the past ten years have led nonfraternity men in scholarship, according to a thoroughly authentic country-wide survey covering all educational institutions in which national exist.

Not a single outstanding college or university president in the country is on record as being opposed to the social fraternity. Many place a high value on the contribution the fraternity makes as an educational adjunct.

Fifty-six national fraternities belong to the National Interfraternity Conference, and their membership of more than 800,000 includes a high percentage of the outstanding men in every creditable vocation.

The majority of faculty members and administrators on college and university campu..,s are fraternity men, and many of them are leaders in alumni groups and serve as

AU of the chapters have made cootributioos to our two 112tional projects To the Loan Fund they gave $6) .00 and to the Settlemenl School $18) .00 . There were 77 sen iors payill8 the alwnne national fee_

Mu Pro'Yince is lookinA forwa rd to Convention with much pleasure Due to the short distance involved chapters from this province will send large delegalions This will give girls 3D enlarged viewpoint of the Fraternity offering them a grut deal of pleasure The two Los An.cteJes chapters are working c1osel, with the commiuttS and ue dOing everytl;linl( possible to show the delegates a AOOd time and to m ake it an outstand· ing Convenlion in the eyes of its leaders 10 closing this report my appreciation is extended to each chapter for their splendid cooperation and to the members of Grand Council for their support and guidance It has been a pri'Yilege for me to hue sCn'ed the fraternity in the capacity of Province President.

faculty advi..,rs to the chapters.

Deans of men almost universally testify to the fact that fraternity chapters are a great asset to them in meeting many problems and in the support they give to worth while projects on the campus

Personnel men from leading industrial and business organizations, superintendents and principals of schools, and other employers of coUege graduates insist that tho.., persons who have lived in fraternity groups, as a rule, work more effectively in cooperative enterprises than those who have not had the experience of group living and group discipline.

College fraternity chapters have proved very definitely that they are responsible organizations, for, despite the fact that they maintain and operate houses in which their members Jive without direct supervision, the number of cases in which there have been violations of their responsibility is astonishingly few.

The percentage of fraternity chapters that faded out of the picture during the depression was much smaller than among similar organizations, and today conditions are back to normal as far as number of men pledged each year is concerned.

The growth of fraternities is evidence of their virility. Last year there were 2,338 fraternity chapters with 86,132 undergraduate members, rocated in 178 colleges and universities. This is in contrast to 1,200 chapters in 1928 -GEORGE LAsHEIl STAIlIl, RAIII. of Theta Chi

Reports of Province Vic e .. Presidents

ALPHA PROVINCE EAST VICE-PRESIDENT

Now that Alpha Province East has become a separate Province in the farthest northeast corner of ou r Pi Phi world to stand by itself among other larger provinces, we arc feeling a growing spirit of strength in union and becoming even a little aggressive with an urge to reach out into other arcas than our own seven clubs; we would invite other Pi Phis to congregate into local groups for closer frimdships.

We realize that our n atio nal projects are worthy of endeavor especially in these days when we need useful and constructive efforts to help steady each other and mankind. And so we'll strive for the satisfaction which comes from greater accomplishments from our communal cooperation of our earn est group of college fraternity women.

We have had only a few months working to· gether, but during that short period, the warmth of written expression and helpfulness with every club of Alpha Province East and with the National Officers has been an inspiration.

My official visit to Portland Oub brought me dose to the problems of smaller clubs and close to each member with her greater aspirations for the isolated Pi Phis throughout the state of Maine.

The &5ton tea and reception given for Mrs. O:mam gave me an opportunity to meet th e larger and splendid group of that big city. From each group there is much to be gained. in Pi Phi

IThe Hartford dub was honored by having as its guest the Province Presid e nt of Alpha East at a tea which included alumnlle from Springfield, New Haven, and Bridgeport Twenty-three cbap. ters were repcesented , and notes of regret were read from others. among them one from Mrs. Coolidge . The inspiration of such a meeting as Ann Guthrie honored. the Hanford dub with recently, with her brilliant and picturesque stories o f experiences in many parts of the world cannot be expressed. These are o nly a few of the high· lights of our province meetings.

My schedule for visits to Burlington, Montreal , Halifax. Boston. and New Haven was arranged. for April and early May . It Wa5 with regret that unforeseen circumstances altered that plan and also made it necessary to terminate my short but most bappy official contacts with these clubs.

I thank every club for the cooperation of its officers and f or friendships made, and I am sure they will continue their loyalty to Ermine L. Pollard. newly appointed Provin ce Vice-President of AJpha Ea5t, who is I feel, a most bappy of Grand Council to have made She will experience this delightful association with Pi Phis of our province and with the national officers and will bring enthusiasm and an understanding interest to each dub. I'm sure it will be a mutually helpful relationship

T MAKES me very sad to rea lize th at I h ave bereft of a third of my province family since September 1939, but I hope: that the dubs which are now in the tender care of Elizabeth Dow wiJI continue to think of me as their fond "auntie" event if I no longer am their "mama."

Having had a strong premonition of the disaster that has now descended upon my country, I made my dub visits in the year following the last Convention and have "co nsolidated my position" by much personal correspondence in the months which folJowed those visits. The dub presidents, with one exception. have cooperated. fully in that correspondence so that I feel in touch with their activities and have been able to rejoice with them on their many achievements and aid them in any problems that have arisen.

BAll but one have contributed. to both. or one of Our projects and all have had Mrow Craft sales except two I do not include the two Canadian dubs in the latter as it is impossible for them.

All but three are interested. in one of the province chapters and derive much pleasure in those contacu, which I am sure, are equally pleasing to the undergraduates concerned.

In closing I thank all of you, my superior officers, Nati onal Committee Chairmen, and the club executives and members for their assistance and cooperation . I am still of the op ini on that fraternity work carries with it an inspiration and satisfaction and am deeply gratefuJ that I have been privileged to share in that work.

There have been discouragements, and there

is one deep disappointment, that in the field of extension. Y ou isolated Pi Phis in Beta Province who may read this, I wish you might realize that organized alumnI! clubs in your communities would mean increased knowledge of your splendid Fraternity, yourselves, and would, moreover, show unmistakably to others your pride in your Fraternity affiliation, a matter of significance at a time when unfavorable and even malicious fraternity pubJicity is widespread

Oosing my term of service, I fiDeI it difticult, as I frequently have during the past few years. to dissociate the official and the pcnooal. .so for both your rrti.ci.ng Beta Province Vice-President a nd myself, personally.

AJ,(WA PAOVlNCE has again concluded a successful year in which all seven dubs have fulfilled their constitutional obligations and con· tributed 100% to our national projects. Every club has celebrated. Founders ' Day, four being able to join with a nearby chapter for the occasioo. All have sold magazines earning: • total of $142 in commissions. Five clubs held Meow Craft sales and all hut DOC' feels it has made progress. principal dub problems continue to be interesting programs and means of maintaining the interest of enry Pi Phi. The province had a total of 2'6 paid members; gave ,480.28 to the Settlement School, and $'2.00 to the Loan Fund.

It is regrettable that Asheville has lost so many of its resident members it feels it cannot carry on IS a chartered dub since they now have fewer than ten.

The junior group of Otapel HilJ was unable to function this year due to loss of members but they hope to continue next year.

The junior group of Washington has been

Tespecially successful. They have held monthly meetings, contributed generowly to the Loan and Settlement School funds and have ful6.1led a great need in interesting girls just out of college.

It bas been a great pleasure to serve these two terms as Gamma Province V.,P. and I am truly grateful to each dub for its CO.()peratiOQ and the pleasure I have derived from ow work together I regret I am unable to continue in office but I shall always folJow with much interest the prog· ress made each }ocar in Gamma

DELTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

HB alumna! dubs of Delta Province have been most responsive throughout the past year. As a rnult of their splendid cooperatioo, the province is, for the fint time in several years, 100% in donations to the Settlement School and to the Loan Fund. Other marks of progress are, increased membership\ greater support of the Magazine Agency, and an increase in the number of dubs selling Arrow Craft.

The reports show that the Gubs have had unusual success in the affiliation of 1939 gradu· ates, the number being 31. as compared to , for last year. This would seem to indicate that the memben are realiz.ing the value of attracting the interest of the younger Pi Phis, and that they have bad good results from their dIorts .in that directioo.

Delta Province is happy to welcome the reo cently chartered dub in Richmond, Indiana. This club was organjzeci in April and has for its .first president, Mn R. B Kleinknecht, Virginia r It is to be boped that the inactive Southwestern Michigan Club will reorganize in the FaU.

Founders' Day was celebrated in some way by all the groups. The Indiana State Luncheon held in Indianapolis on April 27. with Mias Onken as guest speaker. had a record attendance of 4'0. The Michipo State Luncheon was held May 4 at the Dearborn Inn, in Dearborn, Michigan. and

was attended by about ISO . Mrs. Stowell C. Steb· bins of Manhall, Michigan. was the speaker.

Monthly letters were sent out by the province vice·president, starting with the one to the presidmt of eacb duh in August, and ending with the general letter in May. Letters received from dub officers have been interesting, and have presented. a personal insight into the individual problems of each group.

The province gavel, awarded each year to the dub wbich has most satisfactorily fulfilled its obligations. has been presented to the South· western Indiana dub for the year 1940·41.

Grand Council cbapter visits were made this year by Mrs Smith in Indiana , and Mrs. Alford in Michigan. Their talles and helpful suggestions were a source of great inspiration to the clubs visited by them It was unfortunate that all dubs did DOt have the opportunity to meet these two national officen.

Visits were made by this officer to 14 dubs. and these proved. to be of great interest and enjoy· ment. Everywhere she encountered. a spirit of hospitality and friendliness.

To aU alumnI! dub officers, and to the national officers whose interest and assistance have been ever present, Delta Province Vice·President expresses her grateful appreciation.

EPSILON PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

IT IS particularly evident to the Epsilon Province Vice-President as she surveys the accomplish. ments of the dubs in the province th at this has been a year of progress, and it is indeed gratifying that the dubs themselves realize almost without exception their individual gains. There have bee n disappointm ents, of but they afIord a challenge and a n incentive to the officers and the dubs for n ex t year.

Epsilon Province is happy to welcome a new alumnI! club organized. this year in Jefferson City, Missouri, with 1:5 charter members. The membership total for the province is 466 , includ ing 40 affiliated seniors. an increase of 39 over last year. The Little Pigeon dub at Gatlinburg again has 100% membership. and two other clubs lack only one of having as many paid members as resident Pi Phis, The dub in Chattanooga made the gte1test gain in membership. with 23 mo re m e mbers than last year. Co lumbi a, Memphis, Nashville, and St. Joseph also show substantial increases.

All of the clubs including the newly chartered one ga ve generous ly to the Settlement School and to the Undergraduate Loan Fund. Although the total sum of $1,1'8.87 sent to the former is not as large as in some years. four of the smaller Clubs increased the size of their gifts The contributi on of the province to the Loaa Fund was $49.00.

For the nrst time on record. all of the established clubs in Epsilon Province held Arrow Craft So'\les, and further supported the Settlement School by patronizing the II B 4' Magazine

WAgency. The Arrow Craft sales totaled $1,203 34 , and the Commissions on magazine suhsaiptions were $333.". botb reprnenting increases over last year.

Only three clubs failed to give any support to active chapters. All three of these dubs are reo. mote from any chapter contacts. H owever, one of these, the Nashville club, has worked with the petitioning group at Vanderbilt. The 3ssist· ance given to the chapters by the dubs included rent payments, a gift of teays, and rush parties. The Kansas City club divided its gift as usual among the three nearest chapters.

Five clubs helped to support local charities by giving to the Community Chest or to the P:tnhellenic fund, and by taking Thanks.'::iving and Christmas baskets to the poor. The Kansas City Oub awarded a $100 scholarship to the University of Kansas City.

The clubs in Epsilon Province were fortunate this year in having unusuaIJy fine officers; their willingness to serve and their origi nality of ideas insured the success of the year's work for their clubs. To the officers, and the responsive club memberships, and to the members of Grand the Epsilon Province Vice· President wishes to show her appreciation and thanks for their cooperation and assistn nce. She also wishes to express her gratitude for the privilege of serving n B 4J in thi,s ca pacity, and for the increased knowledge of her Fraternity that this service has meant,

ZETA PROVINCE VICE·PRESIDENT

ITH one or two exceptions the dubs in Province have shown definite progress during the year 1939·40. It is with pride that the Zeta Province Vice-President submits the following report.

The province is proud to report that it has one new dub this year at Tallahassee, Florida.

Six o f the dubs are 100ro in their contribu. tions to the Fraternity 'S two Projects-the Settle ment School and the Undergraduate Loan Fund. They are: Atlanta, Birmingham, Lakeland, Miami. Orlando. and Tampa The Miami Club gave the largest contribution to each fund. Three clubs gave on ly to the Settlement School. Both funds ,showed a n in crease over the amount given last year.

The total membership for Zeta Province this year was 241 as compared with last year's 188. Six dubs showed an increase in paid member· ships. Lakeland was again the o nly dub in the province with 100'% paid membership.

Six dubs had sales of Arrow Craft Product s. Birmingham leads with the largest sa le amounting to $99.20. Atlanta was next with a sale of $83.09. The total sales for Zeta Prov i nce were $2'0.74. This was a substantial increase over the amount so ld last }·ear.

Eight dubs are credited with commISSions from the sale of m3gazines. The Tampa Cub leads with $28.2'. Atlanta is next with a com · mission of $U .50

All the dubs located where there are active chapters continue to help these chapters both financially and by giving generously of their service and coopera tion. The dubs not having an active chapter in the same town, conti nu e to help nearby chapters through rushing and by sending recommendations

The Zeta Province Conferen ce was held June 23 and June 24, 1939 at the Pancoast Hotel in Miami, Florida. The Miami Club, actin,; as hostess club, worked very hard to make this con· ference enjoyable and profitable for everyone.

ETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

CLUBS in Eta Province have had a very pleasant and successful yeal'. Probably we are most proud of the fact lhat we ru.ve another dub added to our twenty-two, the fox River Valley AJumnz Oub centered in Appleton, Wisconsin. This dub was dlartero:f in October, with members IlDd bas now ArowD to twenty-eight paid members. Although Appleto n , the horne of Law· rence College, is the helrt of the dub, members are drawn into the organh.ation from towns around I...aJc.e Winnebago, and from the northern an d norlh central part of the state _

Our province bas ajmed this year for a greater proportion of paid memberships amoD8 resident Pi Phis, and of iso lated alum n!'! in near-by towns ; for more generosity to our national projects both in donations and in service; for closer and more active cooperation with active chapters, especially when no chapter is Dear; and for greater magazine sales We have tried to accomplish aU these a.ims. and fecI pro ud that we have dODe so weB u we have-although we are never satis6ed since our "Stu" to whlch we hitch our hopes is higher every year_ Each dub is trying, also, so far as it is able, to establish a. Conference a nd Convention Fund in its bud,l!:et, a reserve to take care at least, in part, of delegate's expenses to these gatherings

It might be interesting to mention :l few clubs which ha"e heen very successful in one Or more of the above·mentioned aims The Chicago Alum· Club South and the Peoria Oub have increased their membership the most, but the Fox River Valley Club and the Jacksonville Club probably have the record for attracting the Jargest number of isolated alummr into membership. Our total of paid memberships has increased from las t year, to 784. paid this year. In work for the Settlement School, we shall speak of donations 6rst, and, instead of con sidering amounts, we shall name those dubs which have contributed the most per capita: Milwaukee has give n an average of $3 17 pJw per member, the Oliago Business Girls, $3 00 pet capita, IlDd the Chicago Alumn:r South, per person. Other dubs have done fine work i n giving to the school, not only dona· tions, but boxes of books, clothing, and toys at various times. We are most proud of our Arrow Craft sales this year--our total gross salo for the year being $1, 899_'4. as against $1,38' 97 last yette Champaign Urbana heads the list in amount

Tsold, with Milwaukre and Oak: Park-RiveI Forest second and third, respectively. 10 m'Al-zioe work. we are happy that .11 hut two dubs have done somethinS l o r the School in this 6eld. Milwaukee was in eighth place in the natio nal I«ord of clubs with a total slllc of S6 2.}7. Otber dubs have done splendid work, 35 you may see in the chart. Our Loan Fun d donatio ns have maintained last year's level, and two dubs, Madison and Oalc PuleRiver Forest have ma terially increased their donations fn inspiring interest and coope ration clubs and chapters, much has been attempted.

The Alumnae Club N o rth and the Chicago AJumne Club South have continued their interest in the Illinois A chapter this year. Avon, or Libbie Brook Gaddis, club has tried to coo perate with the Illinois B .!1 chapter, and Oale Park-River Forest and Rockford have given interest-and gifts to \Viscoruin B chapter. Other clubs have wit h rushing whenever they could without interfering with Panhellenic rulings. Fox River Valley Gub has done much this year to help the petitioning group at Lawrence Col. leSte

Gale s burg Club should be mentioned for the amou nt of civic ,,'ork which it does in add ition to its loyal support of Our own philanthropies. It Aives large sums to local charity each year, contributes to the Ouistmas the Empty Stocking- and this year, has helped regularly with :l fund 10 provid e milk and food for undernourished chi ldren in the county schools. Chicago Alumnae Gub Nort h has been making Scrap Books for the chi ldren 's hospitals this year in place of its fo rmer help to the Bra.ilIe system. Other dubs give civic aid of other types, or active ly support P.nhellenic organizations in the community.

It has been a very pleasure to work with clubs in Eta Province this rear. Nearly every club deserves sp<.-cial praise for some phase of work, a nd for its accompl is hments. May we express our appreciation for the Joya l support and cooperation which we have had from the officers of each club, and for the helpful advice of national officen of the Fraternity .

THETA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

HETA PROVlNC! has this year shown a gratifying increase in many of its departments which spnks well for the interest Pi Beta Phis in Iowa Mjnnesota, North Dakota, and Manitoba have in their Fraternity.

For the sixth consecutive year our clubs are 100% in their giving to the Fraternity projects and this year the chapters are also on the honor roll. $718 10 was sent to the Settlement School this year which wu an increase over I2st year's $639 00. $83 00 wu the provioce cootribution to the loan Fund for 1939-40 while the total of gifts for this fund io 1938·39 was $8'.00.

We have a nice incrrase jo membership. There were 407 paid members Jast year and the .figure

of this year is 4H Nine of the dubs are re· sponsib le for thi s increase; Ames. Burlington, Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Gl20d Forles, India. nola. Iowa City. Minneapolis. and St . Paul. MinneapOlis made the la rgest gain with an increase from to membe rs . Many of the dubs have several affiliated seniors, Winnipeg reporting 10 This is most gratifying, for we covet the continued interest of our recent graduates in ou r Fr.1lernity

The magazine agency commissions are slightly in cr eased. One club did not have an active commit. tee a year ago and tbis past yeat two did not participate in tbb: most worthwhile activity_

We sold Jess AIrow Craft products in 1939-40 th:tn during the past year, seven dubs did not

hold any sort of a sale. Our total sales amounted to $1,144.08 for 1939·40 as against $1,847.91 in 1938-39_

All of the club s in the province were visited during the biennium; Minneapolis, St. Pau!, Du· luth, Winnipeg, Grand Forks, Indianola and Des Moines in 1938 and Ames, Cedar Rapids. Iowa City, Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Burlington, and Mt. Pleasant in 1939, These visits are a source of great pleasure and inspiration to the province vice-president for the hospitality shown her and the interest in the Fraternity work and growth are an inspiration which make her work a pleasure, Two Conferences were held in 1939, one in Iowa City for the Pi Phis in Iowa , and the second in Grand Forks for our members living in the northern section of the province. These confer.

Iences are in large part, we feel, responsible for the increasing interest and growth of our Fraternity in Theta Province,

Many Theta Province took advantage of the opportunity to meet Mrs. Alford during her visit to the chapters of the province last year and were charmed with her and inspired by her talks. Mrs. Ristine has also met with alumnr when visiting the chapters and has added to their interest in and knowledge of active chapter problems

We appreciate the cooperation and helpfulness of the different members of Grand Council and the contacts with them have been in large part responsible for the pleasure of serving the Fra· ternity as vice-president of Theta Province.

LAURA STORMS KNAPP

IOTA PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

OTA PROVINCE is indeed proud of the two new dubs in the province. Kansas City, Kan· sas. got off to a fine start with an enthusiastic group of officers and members. Hutchjnson is ready to start activities in the fall. There has been a marked increase in membership in the province with 513 paid members as against 478 last year, This figure does not include Hutchinson as thev were organized. after April 1!i. Casper and Manhattan are the 100% paid membership clubs for the year. Manhattan maintains this posi· tion each year and is to be highly commended.

It is with pleasure that Iota Province can report 100% donations to the national projects. no club failing to contribute to the Loan Fund. with every dub fulfilling its obligations, The Settlement School donations were very generous and show a slight increase over last year. The money sent represents hard work on the part of every club. There was a decided in Arrow Craft sales, they amounted to $1,637.82, an increase of $377.00. The Loan Fund contributions were $77 .00 and the Settlement School contributions $928.70.

The cooperation between clubs and actives has been very fine, the clubs were generous in their gifts to the actives and the actives helpful in

Theeding the requests of the dubs in regard to rushees. This has made a pleasant feeling between the two groups.

It was a source or real pleasure to have Miss Onken visit several of the clubs. Her inspiration is always felt and is r eBected in renewed efforts in working for n Bolt,

Every dub in the province deserves recognition in one way or another for each has worked hard for the Fraternity. Many of them have given to local causes as well as to our own projects. Their interest increases each year and the officers of the dubs have inspired their dubs to greater success,

The past two years have been a source of real pleasure and the privilege of serving as I ota Province Vice· President has been a happy one. It will never be forgotten. for the friendships formed through this association are ones to be cherished. Sincere appreciation and gratitude is expressed. to the dubs and the officers who cooperated so splendidly, and to Miss Onken, Mrs Smith, Mrs. Wild, and Mes. Pwduno for their help and guidance.

$581.0 3 ; Dallas, with $532,59; Austin, with $418.60 and San Antonio. with $312.45.

A splendid spirit of cooperation exists between dubs and chapters. In order that this may not be harmed by the Quota System which is in effect 00 so many campuses, it is necessary for those dubs away from active chapters to the diflirulties which this system imposes on the chapters. Six dubs with no direct contact with active chapters contributed. substantial sums to help them , while many others aided in rushing

As a memorial to ow beloved Nita Hill Stark, former Gn.nd Seccet.a.ry, the dubs and chapters of Kappa Province are pl:lcing in the Arrow Craft building a matched pair of Early American highboys.

No figures can show the joy and inspiration that is through friendly contacts in the dubs, Dor can they express the development of Fraternity sentiment and decrioD. Figures do, however, the resuJts of tasks well done -the summing up of many activities of enthusi. astic gcoups working together for the attainment of worthy goals of a truly great Fraternity.

For the seventh consecutive yeu. Lambda Prov· ince is 100% in contributions to the national projects. Each club may well be ccedited with one or more really outstanding achievement. this year. There has been increased interest in the Settlement School and Arrow Craft products. Fif· teen clubs have held successful Arrow CraIt sales. Those having the largest sales ate! Seattle. $462.86, Po,tlaod, $}OO.OO, Moscow, $172 10, Spokane, $121.44 and Olympia reports the largest sale of the smaller dul», $113.90.

A substantial gain has been made in contributions to the Loan and Settlement School Funds. Seattle, with a Aift of $108.11 made the highest gain, while Tacoma with a gift of and Spokane contributing $100.00 are first and second highest in per capita contributions to the Settle· ment School Fund. Salem and Tacoma are 6rst and second highest in per capita contributions to the Loan Fund.

Lambda Province dubs have more than doubled their magazine commissions over that of last year. Seattle earned the largest amount with $57 .2' and Edmonton with $30.00 is second higbest in the amount and per capita. Corvallis with $n.3' in commissions, takes fint place per capita in the province and eighth place per capita of all the alumnr clubs.

Four clubs, Butte, Corvallis, Everett. and Wen· atchee a.re 100% paid membership. Ten dubs incttased their membership. The three largest dubs suffered the Joss of nearly 6fty paid member· s hips and the province will have a small decrease in paid membership this rear.

There has been greater lOterest and cooperation between. alumnae dubs and active chapters Many of the clubs have given financial help and all have helped in rushing All o( the dubs bave entertained the actives in some delightful way at Christmas time and duzing Spring vacation. Qubs neat active chapters joined with them in celebrat· ing Founders' Day. All dubs have honored the Founders in some special manner.

From different groups come the praise and a.ppreciation of the Mothers' Clubs for the help they are giving the active chapters; neacly every chapter house displays lovely things that have been presented by them.

This was the year for official VlSlts of the Province Vice· President, and sixteen clubs were visited in October and November. To have this privilege once in two years means much, both to the officer and to the dubs; after these visits together, all feel a greater seDse of ease in working together and a greater desire (or cooptration. Each club had efficient officers who with the belp o( enthusiastic members, eager to make this the best and most successfu l year, and it is to note that their have not beoeo. fcuJtless , and every club may at this time feel very proud of its achievements.

Lambda Province is happy to announce the chartering of two new clubs, thiJ year : Billings Montana, wu chartered in 'D«ember and Moscow: Idaho, the last of May We welcome these new dubs and predict for them. a. most enjoyable and successful future.

Several clubs will be represented by delegates to the Pasadena Convention. Corvallis, judged highest in per capita achievements, wios the Sn given the province by the Alumnae Department for a delegate to Convention.

Since the tint of the year, our province has been saddened by the deaths of two of its most Joyal and devoted members of the Fraternity, Ruth Ande""Q Deosmo<e (Mn. Harvey B.)

SUB WINTON FLETCHER

MU PROVINCE VICE-PRESIDENT

Now that the time has come for taking stock, Mu Province has much of which to be proud. Its roster has in creased to twenty.four clubs with the chartering, late in May, of the Santa Maria-San Luis Obispo, California Club, and, in June, of a fine new ,group to be known as the San Mateo County Gub.

Probably only the Province Vice-President knows the whole story of obstacles overcome and problems met and so l ved throughout the entire province and perhaps she, alone, really appreciates what the following record means in the way of Fraternity loyalty and willing service .

All clubs contributed to both Settlement School and l.oan Fund making, together with the Active Chapters, a record of 100% in contributions to Fraternity projects.

National paid memberships increased thu year by seventy-six, Settlement School contributions by $2'.43 and those to loan Fund by nine dollars and fifty cents. Arrow Craft sales were higher by $49.36 than they were last year. In magazine commissions alone do we have a slight decrease.

It is natural that these things should be ex-

tremely gratifying to the Province Vice-President and to this AC'atification is added a warm affection lor her clubs when, knowing the effort and thought the production of these gifu has required, she finds them accompanied by such a message as came with one club's generous check for Settlement School, "We are very happy to send this check and send it with our love to the workers there."

It is with a great thrill of pride that one finds gifts and ready compliance with Fra te rnity regulations, made not as a grudged concession but a privilege and a part of the fun.

Service with and for IT B and with and for her officers and clubs has been a rare experience. To members of Grand Council go grateful appreciation of the constant support, without which this officer would have found great difficulty. And to clubs, both officers and individual members, must go her si ncere thanks and affection for the fine cooperation which has made possible this successful year.

Respectfully submitted,

Settlement School Reports

CHAIRMAN OF THE SETI'LEMENT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

To Ih. 1940 Conflenlion of Ihe n B. PraJtr,,;17:

SINCB the founding of the Settlement School in 1910 there have been twelve chairmen, each serving a term of from one to 6ve years. In this number have women illustrious (or the ir work for the School and the Fraternity, No doubt each one had feelings much as I have at the end of a term of service which has covered a period of five years, four of them as Chairman. There is a fee ling of gratitude to the Fraternity for the opportunity of serving in this capacity. Whatever amount of time, thought, and energy the work has taken, I feel a thousand times rewarded by the satisfaction of the accomplishment and progress that have b«n made.

The progress during the past four years may only seem Aleater than that in any other period of the same length. 10 reading old (cpom one finds many of the npid growth of the BU['8, as it has beC'n affectionately caJIed. As the Burg grew the School expanded or, more 33 the School expanded, Gatlinburg grew for the mountain people were anxious to give their children an education and so moved nearer the School. ] started my term on Com-

mittee a new element had begun to add its force in the ever<hanging community. The Smoky Mountain NationaJ Park bad been located with G atl inberg as the Tennessee Also, the yean of greatest depression, when many eliminations had to be made. were over. ] have been fortunate to .serve during a period when expansion was both necessary and possible, although it has entailed much carefu l planning and close attention.

I have reported each year to the Fraternity through the Information ARRow so a detailed report of on ly the past year is necessary. However J am sure that adding some of the major accomplishments of the four years of my chairmanship will be valuable in giving you a picture of the work that we are now doing in Gatlinburg.

Although other chairmen have reported great progress and rapid changes with attendant ex. pansion for the then present and future needs a new program of expansion had to be instigat;{ at the beginning of my term of service. The high school was in the process of changing from a two to a (our year course, thus giving our young people further educational opportunity. This is possible to put our home economia and agricuJ-

tuee courses on the Smith-Hughes basis, federal and state funds furnishing half the salaries, the oth.r half being fioane<d from the School budget. This year a crafts course was added on the same basis, Arrow Cralt profits being used for our half of the saJa.ry The county cooperates by paying threr other hi,Rh school teachers The county also pays the salaries of .U elementary and pays $100 per month rent for the eJemeotaIy building, making. total of $11,870 '0 this past year

This expanded program for the high school combined with the rapid increase in the elementary school necessitated more room The elementary school outgrew its live room building and one by one grades have been put into the high school building This crowded the higb school building, which was erecttd tw"cive: years ago with the idea that it was luge enough (or all time, to the roent that two years ago it was necessary to add a wing to house science and home economics laboratories . Next year the elementary school will need an · other room which can be made available by pwh. ing the high school still farther into the Voorheis building from which the weaving has been moved to the new Arrow Craft building

The Committee has recommended and Grand Council approved that at some oot fa.r dis tant date the elementary school, not including the building, be turned over entirely to the county. The county now pays the whole expense of the elementary school and should soon be able to house and super· vise it. This should eliminate future need of any more buildings for school purposes financed by the Fraternity.

At present we have a modem, attractive high school plant which is visited by groups from the University interested in vocational and other types of education. Oue high school faculty is headed by William King, the efficient principal who has been with us ten yeatS and has made himself al· most indispensable to the School and the com· munity. With him Ben Fleming, a graduate of our school and of Tusculum College not only is a teacher and coach of abiJity but also wields a great inAuence for good in the community. Marian Ryan and Rosalie Ellis, Pi Phis from New York r and Kans:u B respectively, have been exceJlent teachers and leaders and have endeared themselves to the community Unfortunately both are leaving but two Pi Phis, Clro Nelson, North Dakota A, and Charlotte Hennan, Illinois Z, have been employed to take their places. William Cae hu continued with the vocational agriculture and has given adult instruction in outlying communities in addition to teaching the high school agriculture and managing oue farm. In the Jatter he has btm assisted by Ambers Ogle and the dormitory boys The new course in wood and metal crafts has been taught by Wm. Oakes who has had the high school boys and girls for three hours each morninjt and adults in the afternoon an d eve· ning. This work will be continued during the summer months, the old Arrow Craft building bein.ll used as a Jaboratory

As I have already stated. the elementary school is entirely supported by the county but is under oue supervision. The teachers are tKOmmended by us and .I«ted by the county board. Half of them are county girls and half Pi Phis. The elementary school is under the direction of C. fern

Price who has been untiring in his efforts to ra.i.w the standard and this year the school recrived an A rating under the Tennessee school code. Oue Pi Phi elementary teachers, Marie Amaclcer. A, Pauline Morris, New York A. and Ruth Parker, Pennsylvania B, hayc done excellent teachioA and directed extracurricular activities . Ruth Parker, after two yean of outstanding service, has resigned and Flora Belle DeWitt, Colorado B, will take her place. Another n +. Doris Hatch, Illinois A, hu been elected to teach next year as the number enrolled in the grades warrants another teacher. Three county girls, Pauline Sharp, Veryl Elder, and Sa.rabeth Lewis have also done much to make this a successful year. Next year Eleanor Brabson will retwn to teach the first grad•.

With the enlarged high school building, added equipment, and an excellent teaching statT tbe past year has been one of great accomplishment for our school children. School activities of us ual worth have been open to all. Basketball and playground activities have taken care of physical development and public speaking contests, plays, home ec and ag clubs, boy and girl scouts have given opportunity for intelJeaua.J and spirituaJ growth.

In her closing report to the 1936 Convention, my predecessor. Franlcie Cochran Hill, poiDted with pride to the first year of the expansion in our high school program . I now report with pride the accomplishments of four more years. Our "Five year plan" was not made with that as a definite time time for a report but it happens that we have accomplished all and more than we hoped five years ago. The empbasis on the vocational subjects added to the academic subjects gives a broader scope to the course. The crafts course has been something of an experiment this year as it is not planned along ordinary manual training lines but is designed to give training in making articles useful in homes and also those saleable as gifts. Handwork is recognized by educators as important in the development of youth. To quote AogeJo Patri, a noted educator, "Children need to learn to use their hands. They need every aped. ence that handwork will bring them. This is not only to train them in slcill but to their intelligence. Handwork met! directly upon the intelligence of the worker and the more creative the work the greater the power stored by the experience. Let the boys whittle and saw and hammer and plane by hand. Let the girls sew and cook and clean and paint and model and weave, by hand."

It is my hope that the crafts work will be not only continued, but supplemented by an art coune which wilt add to the creative ability of our Gatlinburg people the artistic and the beautiful.

To art there should be added music, that other art which adds so much to the moral and spiritual as well as the artistic well being of a school and a community. And so, though I report with pride the advancement of the school work at the end of a 6ve year period, there are still things to be done. thinAS for future chairmen to report. Foc, although the county takes care of the elementary school and a part of the high school, the Fraternity is the things which give oue boys and girls of the GatiinburA community an opportunity that most of them would never have if it were Dot for

our help. We must keep on and improve still more our hj,qh scbool work.

Hand in hand with the school work goes our health work. A sound mind in a healthy body is an old but wise but still true statement. Our health work over the years has eliminated many of the i11s like hookworm which were prevalent in the early days. but health work must be kept up. This has been done Ind our nurse is constantly bu!'iY with preventive and cwative measures. One wonders how our Marjorie Chalmers, R.N., can do 50 much I might fill pages with stories of her ministrations. The old man dying of cancer, the pregnant WOlllan , the patient rushed to the Knox. ville hospital fo r an emergency, the mother of the child whose club foot was straightened, the victim of an aut o mo bile accident. the boy with a cut finger, all tes tify to her skillful ministrations. The county furni shes ser ums but is able to do little more for our community. Although a doctor has now located in Ga tl inburg, the work of our nurse is none the less needed . Our little hospitaJ is a very busy placr and A'lcs. Chalmer's work has given her an enduring place in the hearts of our Gatlinburg

Now 1 come to Arrow Craft. You all know the story of our part in thr revival of the handicrafts You know of the increase in our weaving and handicraft business. Our Director of Arrow Craft. Ethel Weaver Snow. Iowa r, has worked ingly to achieve these results. Our Weaving Supervisor. Gene Rrdding, has designed, and supervised the making of all the woven articles. This includes besides the designing the ordering of supplies. giving out materials, w:ltching the weaving done in the homes. checlcing in the fin· ished products, figuring cost and selling prices. and marking. The produ cts are then turned over to Mrs. Snow who dirrcts the sale both through alumnlr clubs and in our hvO shops in Gatlinburg. Mrs. Snow also attends to the production and buying of all thr other handicrafts found on our price list. Gene Redding assisted by Mrs. Snow and Mrs. Georgia Duffield manage the Weavers' Guild which has become such an important part nf our work Out of it have come the Garden Gub, which has done so much in beautifying the homes and the highway of Gatlinburg, and the Weaver's play, which is being given once a week this sU!nmer in order to preserve and portray for the traveling public the old customs of the moun· ta in people

J have referred before to my predecessor's rCoport at the 19 36 Coment io n In it she reports the best business that AIrow Craft had ever done. She also reported the moving of weaving production into the Voorheis building I started my term as Chairman with Arrow Craft a paying and a ing business. Due to the increased interest in craits, to incre2Sed travel th.rough GatJinburg. and to incrrased effort on the part of Our AlumnI! Gubs, Arrow Craft has cootinued to be a paying and a growing business It has beal evident for some years that a oew Arrow Craft building was needed Our shop was housed in the old school building and although it was attractive on the corner by Baskins Creek and we bad a sentimental atuchmmt to it. it could never be comfortably healed in winter. With the weaving stock in the Voorheis buildinR about thrtt hundred feet away there was much walking back and forth and pack-

iog had to be done in both buildings. It was decided that housing the production. shipping, and shop under one roof would add greatly to the efficiency of the business. Much time was spent consider ing tbe most advantageous location, two or thr('C being available on our property During the years, Arrow Craft profit had accumulated until we decided at our meeting last summer that the.re was enough to pay for an adequate building and still leave an .dequate surplus. Grand Council ap· proved our wing a sum of $10,000 for building and equipment. Barber and McMurray, Knoxville architects who planned the addition to the high school, drew !hr plans. The old Arrow Craft build. ing was mo\'cd back toward the Voorheis building and the new building placed on the location of the old one Several months were taken to get the plans made to fit the needs and the money available. Then the contract was let to Walter Cardwell, a local builder, who built the high school addition . The building was completed the middle of May, so Arrow Craft is now housed in new quarters "The building is beautiful," Mrs. Weaver wrote me. I replied, " I hopr it will be as comfortable and effi· cient as it is brautiful" Those are the three things that we had in mind in the planning, comfort and efficiency for thr suff, and an adequate and beautiful building to attract the traveling public and dis· play our products in such a way that no one will go away empty handed.

The old Mrow Craft building now houses the wood and metal crafts, and the Voorheis building will take care of the high school weaving, one class room, thr boy and girl scouts, and other high school activitirs.

1u well as constructing and equipping the tion to the high school and the new Arro w Craft building, attention has been given to keeping all buiJdings on thr place in good repair. a room has been added to thr hospital, much painting has been done, new equipment added where needed, and a chlorinator installed to insurr the purity of the water. The new furnishings for the living room and director ' s room in Teacher' S Cottage, as well as the attractivr and efficient equipm ent of the home economics laborntory were made possible by funds from the sale of the cook books prepared by the Los Angeles Club.

A summer rKreation program was added last year and is bein.'! continued this summer. The cost is borne jointly by the School and the Community.

Ever alert to keep the wheels running smoothly with a staff of for these three branches of our work is Eunice Sheldon Weaver, Illinois Z. She watches !hr community contacts and shows the many n 41 and other vi s itors over the place. She advises Mr. King and Mr. Price and the other teachers about school affairs and meets with the county board when nrcessary. She is always at P.T A , Weavrcs' meetings Garden Club, Olurch and Community affairs She calls on the sick and keeps in touch with the older people of the munit)' In fact .seems to be everywhere

I wish I had time to write in full an tion of every mtmber of the staB'. There is our efficient bookkeeper. Frances Brown. A.iis50uri r. who, in addition to kttping an intricate set of boola, finds time to assist Mrs Weaver and one eJse who oreds her. Annette Morse, Illinois do has been with us two yean: and does an excellent job of bouse managing and bouse mothering the

dormitory boys and girls. Under her supervision are the two local women who do the coolcing and the school gills who do the deaning. serving, and dishwashing

Three fine, attractive, and efficient Gatlinburg girls assist in Arrow Craft, Lura Owenby in fig and Edna and Bess McCarter in the sbop. I mentioned but I did Dot say half enough about Miss Georgia who runs our shop in the Mountain View Hotel. She sells the School with everything she sells, and her friends are legion She is also one of our best community and church workers.

These are the members of our staff and I have not praised them half enough. From Mrs. Weaver to Ambers and Arlie who are the faithful men who do the manual work about the place, the staff are ever working for the success and the proper functioning of the School.

Back of the staff are the live members of the Settlement School Committee Appointed by the Grand Council for a term, DOW lengthened from four to five years, they make the plans for the School and see that they are carried out. The main part of this is done at an annual meeting in the summer. Then for a week reports arc heard , recommendations are conSidered, the budget made, county and state officials interviewed, local contacts made, and finally decisions reached. Being on the Committee d oes not mean just a ni ce trip to Gatlinburg, although I'll admit that is enjoyed, but long hours of intensive work at the meeting and a great deal of thought and attention during the mt of the year. Each member of the Committee bas a specific job. Ethel Hogan Copp, California 1", is our fine secretary and ready to help clubs and chapters to find "Ways and Means of Raising Money:' She, with the chairman, has charge of the Convention program. Ircoe Eldridge, Wisconsin B, is treasurer. She takes charge of all income from alumn2 and activcs. She checks the work of our bookkeeper at the school, reports to the Committee and Council each month, and makes an annual report to the Fraternity, published in the Information ARROW Jeffries Green Pace, Virginia A, has done an excellent job as editor of News from Little Pigeon, and Marie Bacon Hagee, Miss ouri n, has ta ken charge of the school film and other materiill for club and chapter programs. This past year the film has been sent to twenty-nine dubs and three chapters. In addition to their specific jobs these committee members keep up correspondence with each other and the chairman, thus discussing and deciding questions that come up in the interim of the annual meetings.

As Chairman of the Committee, in addition to the annual committee meeting I have made a visit of a wetk to ten days at the school each winter in order to see that policies are being carried out and to advise and assist the director and other members of the staff This past winter I made an extra trip in order to help with the final decision on specifications and the letting of the contract for the new building. I have kept in dose touch by letter with Mrs. Weaver and other members of the staff, with the Committee and Grand Council, attended to general and sent two News Letters to clubs and chapters, I was an official visitor to the Delta Province Conference.

Back of the staff and the committee are. the members of Grand Council, one of whom is se-

Jccted by the committee as adviser. During my term of office tilt adviser bas been our Grand President and her constructive criticism and her helpful advice have been greatly appreciated at all times Back of the staff, the committee, and the Grand Council stands the Fraternity . W i thout the interest and the support of the alumnI! and active members of IT B cf' there would be no Settlement School. Without the Settlement School the motivating power of an altruistic project would be Jacking in the Fraternity. The school needs your financial assistance as well as your interest. For your loyalty and yow generosity, we thank you. The staff and the com· mittee know the difficult work that you do in raising money and we want you to know that it is not expended without great th ought and care Even with the expanded program there has been very little increase in the total budget which is about $23,000. Between $11,000 and $12,000 comes from Of the $2.000 chapter con· tributions three-fourths goes into the endowment. $3,1'3.20 was recei"ed from the Mapzine Agency and our thanks go to Beatrice Purdunn for her efficient management, as well as to all chairmen. The treasurer's report in the Information ARRow will give you further information on receipts and expenditures.

That report will also give you the present status of the Settlement School Endowment fund and of that report we are proud. Four years ago there was still $13,042 due the school endowment fund from the school operating fund. This so-called "debt" has been a matter of some controversy in the Fraternity It was incurred in 1928 when a portion of the principal of the school endowment fund was used to pay for the high school building and, as its use was against the national rules, our auditors have carried it on the books in this way. Each year this debt has been reduced. until this year it has been paid in full Our endowment fund now stands at about $44,000. The addition to the high school and the new Arrow Craft Building are entirely paid for and there are no outstanding bills or debts.

Twelve trips to Gatlinburg have made me feel almost a resident. Visil:5 to the school rooms, assembly periods, the Future Farmers, the Home Economics Club, the Girl Scouts, school parties and entertainments, all have helped me to know the pupils, their zeal, and their aspirations. Visits to the Weavers' meetings, the Garden Club, the P.T.A., and to the homes have given me an understanding of the parents of these children, and the appreciation that they feel for the opportunity that tI B ,z, is giving to their children through the school. They are grateful too for the economic help of the handicraft work that makes it possible for them to clothe and feed these children and for the health work that makes healthy bodies for these active, developin.s; personalities.

I shall always cherish my remembrances of Aunt Lizzie, my visits with Mom Profit, Cordie McCarter, lula May Ogle, hora Keener and many, many others, the walks up and down the street, stopping to talk to Steve Whaley. Squire Maples, Wiley Oakley, and the Huffs. Always there was some expression of gratitude to the Fraternity The opportunity of knowing these people cannot be shared by all Pi Phis but helping to make their lives fuller and assisting in giving their children

opportunity to develop their minds in sound bodies can be shared by alL The reward in satisfaction is unbounded Again may I apress my appreciation to all who have worked with me Whether on the staH'. the committee the Grand Council, or just as a club or chapter if vou have done your bit, be assured it has meant much io attaining the results set forth in this

It is a satisfaction to tUrn over my work as chairman to Marie Hagee who has worked SO faithfully and efficiently a5 a committee member for the last foue years and I bespeak for her yow continued interest and assistance. You and I and o ther Pi Phis have made an investment in Gatlin-

bwg throughout the years. It has cost much in thought, time, energy. and money. It has paid weJl in the developmClt of the mountain boys and girls, in making the lives of a Once isolated people easier and fuller, in improving the health of & whole community, and reviving md deve l op109 the crafts of early days. Our work is not finished. Even though a concrete highway and nron lights have come to Gatlinbur8, our mountain people still need our belp and there is an almost unlimited possibility for future development in our educational work especially in the field of arts and crafts.

CommNnil]

WITH the moving of the post office from Squire Maples' old building to more convenient and comfortable quaeten farther west on the highway, came a lengthening of the business district of Gatlinburg; and stiH farther west, beyond the parle: line, is the new pule: administration building

The new Arrow Craft Shop has contributed much to the artistic appearance of the town. Fortunately for us, the Garden Oub selected for this Jear's project of beautificatio n property own by the school, opposite the new shop, and at the club's request, the state pl.nted dogwood trees a long the highway through the town

To some who visited th e B urg years ago, and loved the rura l atmosphere , it is somethi ng of a surpdse to find a thrivi ng tourist town. The growth has come, principally. from being headqlWten for the National Park. Arrow Craft's two shops get their just share from the sales to the many tourists.

The Men's Oub is now the Chamber of Commerce. The Public Library has hem incorporated. The new postmaster, Elder Ogle, was once a pupil in the Settlement School.

The Weavers' Play, SIO" B,iuhlS, written by Lula May Ogle, and organized. by Gene Redding, has been revised and bas two complete casts. Directed by Charles Palmer, it is being given every Tuesday night in the gymnasium. It is a perfect picture of life in the mountains in the days gone by_

The P_T.A. organization has furnished the hot lunches for grade school children during the winter; prepared by a competent cook. They bought a new cook-stove and dishes for the lunch-room. All this from rumrru.ge sales and benefit entertainments . Cooperating: regullIly with the church, outstanding staff members were Veryl Elder. who led B Y P.U. meetings, Ben Fleming, who was superintendent of a Pigeon Forge Sunday School, Pern Price, who led the singing for all services in the Baptist Church , and Mrs. Georgia Duffield, who tau.dlt the Women's aass

During the last month of school, Ben Fleming acted principal, and Josephine Fleming taught

some of Mr. King's classes during his absence of three weeks due to illness.

Some of the teachers feel there has been a marked change in the attitude of the students toward their studies, since electives bave been introduced into the curriculum, and a marked increase in the achievement . Standard intelligence tests were given to freshmen. The State Department of Education urged the Tennessee high schools to adopt the self-evaluation program. Jesigned to assist the teachers in forming the best plan for meeting the needs of the school and fo r attaining the goals set for those schools. Over a period of years, this should prOve successful, the students receiving training to fit their n eeds and desires.

T he Grace Coo lidge Library has been classified and entirely catalogued. Each class was given a three weelu' Course in the use of the library. There are now 1,860 books. This year, with aid from the state, eighty dollars ($80) worth of non-.fiction books were purchased. Some fine books of .fiction, gifts from IT 4> alumnae were received Some new equipment was added_ Mr. King sajd, "There was a stimulating atmosphere; the library became a center."

Every boy took part in athletics of some description. Basketball, coached by Ben Fleming, was the most popuJar. Girls played softbalL

There wefe fourteen (14) in the graduating class, and all had a plan for the coming year. On Class Bonnie Trentham's tribute to n B ell was very hne.

Sevier County raised the salaries of the elementary teachers (rom eighty-five dollars ($8S) to ninety dolla.rs ($90) per month, after January 1. In April, the County Board voted to (urnish another salary for next year. We will then have eight (8) teachers in the elementary school. The state furnished text books for the nrst three grades. After November, Pauline Morris replaced Mattie Huff Lawson in the second grade.

How glad we were to have lOOper ctnt rating in sanitation and health by the State Public Health Depaetment_ Adding gradually as we could afford it, the list of equipment required for this eating, we only Deeded this year individual lockers, all-

weather walks, more white pai nt on the walb of o nc room. stronger Hgbt. and exch.nging rooms for two Rracks

In following out the instructional program la.id down by the: State Oepartmcot of Education Mr. principal, left nothing undone to the s tandard of the school. A set of Comp/ors PicIlIr#a &"r1opIJi. was purch.a.Kd by the chiJdren with proceeds from their carnival and ten dollars (SI0) from the Little Pigeon A1umn., aub. Many children's books were received from n • a lumna Filing cabinets (or the principal's office. and cbart-easels (or primary grades were made by old boys in the handtcraft room, during vacation.

Quite an innovation was the last thing added : an RCA radio-phonograph, bought by the children. with help from the Little Pigeon and San Jose clubs Weelcly programs sponsored by the State Department of Education were enjoyed. There records of singing games, folk songs, and mlOuets ; acellent for recreation and an appreciation of good music The children enjoyed it. but a few of the parents at first dId not approve of dancing. Gifts of playground and athletic equipment received One interested visitor, seeing the little boys playing baseba.ll with very dilapidated balls and bats, sent a big box of new ones Ben Fleming has hem supervising the summer playground activities

Four boys in the upper grades showed little promise of ever learning to read or write They were taken in hand by Ruth Parker, rust grade teacher, one·half hour every morning, and on Saturdays. By the close of school all four could read and write. I think the whole school was happy over this accomplishment.

The Christmu entertainment wa..s , of course, the event, with nothing left out. The tree, the sm81Og. the play by the smaller children their exchange of little presents, the gifts the cI ubs and chapters , all combined to make a happy day.

AgricIlIlN"

Since our vocational agriculture course taught by Mr. William Cae, is based on the needs of the community which the high school serves instruction has been given to £Our different the eighth grade boys. high school boys, out-of-school youth with no occuration and men who are now in the business 0 farming. The out-of-scbool group consisted of a dass in a CCC camp, mostly from Sevier County. The seventy-nine (79) fanners i.n different communities were taught in the evenings.

The instruction given to each of these groups was based on the farming done in their respective communities. For example, Pigeon Forge boys were taught hog raising. com, small grains, and forage crops because the fathers of these boys are interested in such things

Perhaps the best way to record a year's work: for a student is to read a Jetter from a freshman SheniI Huskey; ,

"I am plaaoina to be a 'Irmtt. A boy must lelrn how to Cite (01 1011 and Itftltock and how to plant and barvest crops.

We had some very bad luck with poultry : the loss by fire. of the brooder house and 23' chickens, but we were thankful that the "0 baby chicks that were shipped to us by mail, arrived a day late because of the cold weather. and thus escaped the fire Not .II of these chickens belonged to the school.

Mr. Cae has made a survey of 100 farms in the vicinity of the Settlement School. From this, it is hoped we can determine more accurately, their needs and be better able to .6Jl these needs through the boys in the classroom and on the farms

Home &oftom;(s

The home economics course under Rosalie Ellis, followed out the state program for vocational work. The Aids had a choice between handcrafts or home economics. For the past two years. weaving for sophomores has come under this department, and was taught by Gene Redding . There was a greatu in the foods d3.sses. The girls especially en/' oyed serving dinners to which their parents or riends could be invited They prepared and served the faculty Christmas dinner, a dinner for the basketbaJl team. and one for the Parent and Son banquet foe the Future Farmers, which was attended by eighty (80) people. By having donations from the homes of the farmer boys, the banquet was managed for seven dollars ($7.00).

The third year da.ss had for a project. the planning and buying of all equipment for a log cabin latdy purchased by Me. Coc Little striped sport jadcets, designed and woven by third year girls were pretty and fashionable. One of these was worn at the Open House at the Home Economics department of the University of Tennessee, when two of our girls exhibited costumes they had made, in the style show.

During the past two yean quite a little work has been taken up in connection with the agriculture classes. Etiquette was one subject and proper foods another.

Miss Jessie Harris, n • Dean of Home Economics at University of Tennessee, brought seventy (70) of her seniors to visit our department in March.

The Home Ec Oub sent three delegates to the state meeting at Nashville. Field trips were made to a large bakery wd a padcing company in KnolCVille

In order that Anow Craft should maintain its position at the top in Gatlinburg, among the npidly growing handcraft shops, it was necessary to have luger and better planord quarters that

wo,ult;l centralize the weaving interest The new bUlldlog was financed entirely from Arrow Craft It s,mods on the site of the old shop and 15 ulllque 10 style of architecture. It houses the salesrooms. stockrooms, toilet rooms. and the offices of Mrs. Ethel Snow. manager, and Gene Redding, weaving supervisor the old shop was moved last October to fifty ('0) o f the high school building, It ,was c:losed. Busmess was carried on through the winter 10 the stockroom of the Voorheis building. In business v.;as resu med in tbe old sho p, but 10. spIte of the signs pointing the W3.y. shoppers dld n ot seem to find the old shop where it had been moved in the back yard as it were and there was a falling o ff in sales. But on May 22 the new building was ready foe occu'pancy, and the doors had hardly opened, when the buyers appeared and bu siness picked up_ The volume of shipping for the year was about as usual, though club sales were not as much and returned articles num be red more. Mrs. Snow has li sted the ten best saJes and calls them her-e honor roll.

Gene Redding found it necessary to place larger orders of yarns. a nd far in advance. Raw flax advanced 1 per cent since the outbreak of war, and although we have enough for a normal program the nex t few months, we must conserve our supply while war las ts , ordering only what we can sell.

Aunt Lizzie RC3gan, frail, and eighty·three years o ld , is weaving h e r jeans material for which there is a Areat demand. She was mo're anxious than anybody to move into the new building.

At the Knoxville Fair, Arrow Craft weaving was gtvm forty -five dollars ($ 4:5) in prizes.

Two new mov ie films have been takm for the school by Jerry McCutcheon. One s hows weaving being done at the school , and the other shows views of class rooms, buildings, and grounds, in color.

Kappa Province Active Chapters and Alumnz Oubs bave expressed their desire to present in memory of Nita Stark, a gift to the new Craft bu.ildin.lil. amounting to $300. The sift has not yet been selected.

Handcrafl1

'The; State Department," said Seeley, State SupervJsor of Trade and Indu strial EduClition "'looks upon the Pi Beta Phi Settlement Schooi being an ideal set-up for handcrafts." He gavc hIS consent to our plan for a vocational course in baadc.rafts, though there was no preadent for the kind of course we wanted, in the state.

Temporary was given to this department, In the southeast Side of the Voorheis Building. and Mr William Oakes, craft teacher ruommended Mr. Seeley, arrived AU8ust 1. He built a partition. shelves, work tables , cabinets for tools and installed the necessary machinery amounting to $740 A stock of materials such wood , alumi· num, copper, brass, and pewter, was bought and all in readiness by the opening of school.

High schoo.l classes were held in the morning, adult classes JJ\ the afternoon and evenings. Due to the advance in the price of metals Jess metal work was done after Ollistmas. place was crowded. and it was considered a very good when this department was taken to the old Arrow Cnft building There in the stone fireplace will

be a forg e so that articles of wrought iron may be made next year.

We hope to offer for sa le next year a gnat deal of the s tud ents' work, and all hope that there develop from this depar tm ent, some real arbsts.

DEAR MESDAMES :

We have examined the records maintained by the Treasurtr of your Committee for the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School for the fisc:aJ year ended June 30, 1940. With the data drawn from these records we have combined the report prepared by Homer K. Jones and Company, Public ants, from the subsidiary records kept for the School and its Arrow Craft Shop, at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and we submit herewith the resulting attached statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and related statements of income and surplus sent fairly the financial position of the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School at June 30, 1940 and the income and expenses for the fiscal year, subject to the extent of our own verification, which as indicated did not indude the Gatlinburg records.

We examined and tested the income (rom club and chapter contributions which are shown in tail in Schedule 3·a and from magaoz.ine agencies and we found adequate support and authorization for the expenditures made directly by the treasu.rer. The cash balances at Milwaukee were verified by us. The endowment securities and cash, except cash in transit, were certified to by the Harris Trust and Saviag5 Banlc of Chicago, Trustees for the endowment funds , and this Trustee's report was acctpted without further verification except that we proved the accounting made of security changes and income from securities.

CoMMENTS

Cuh Balanm-$14,978.24

The cash balancrs at June 30, 1940, exclusive of endowment income cash with the endowment Trustees, consisted of the following : Milwaukee Accounts: First Wisconsin National B:mkTreasurer's general checking acroum $

Total

A((OllnlS

The accounts receivable arising from Arrow Craft sales were listed in detail in the report of Homer K. Jones and Company; it appeared that they consisted principally of Alumni Oub balances and were considert!'d by your to be gen· erally collectible. TIle open balances of $9,260.37 represented an increase of $3,882.92 over those for June 1939. None of the accounts were

charged off as bad debts during the year under review.

InIJenJorieJ -$23,B02.89

The inventories at Gatlinburg, which we did not verify. totaled $23,802.89 as compared to $21,939.9' at the close of the previous year, an increase of $1,862.94. The inventory consists largely of finished stock, the supplies and materials amounting to $7,601.70.

Fixed ASItII

Additions to the building and equipment accounts during the year 1939·1940 totaled $12,4'4.08 as indicated in Schedule 2. The actual expenditures totaled $330.00 more than the above figure but adjustment was made to eliminate the book value of an automobile which was traded in.

The principal addition was the new Meow Craft Shop which was constructed at a cost of $10,731.67.

Endowment FundI

During the year under review the debt of the Settlement School to the Endowment fund, which at July I, 1939 amounted to $5,596.86, was entirely repaid. This was accomplished as follows: Paid out of School funds on hand $ 500.00 Paid out of Arrow Craft income ..• 2,500.00 Contribution of National Fraternity 2,596.86

The above contribution of the National Fraternity is shown in Exhibit "C" in the income account.

The endowment fund was augmented by threefourths of the active chapter contributions, or $1 ,604.00, and was decreased by a loss on bonds of $7:5.00, ma1cing a net increase of .$1,529 .00 for the year. The endowment total at June 30, 1940 was $«,300.25 consisting of the securities and uninvested cash shown in Schedule 1.

Income

and Expenses

Income of the Settlement School exceeded ordinary operating expenses, exclusive of capital expenditures, by $2,314 .01 as shown in Exhibit "c." The operating expenditures included depreciation of $2,676 .39 of which a substantial part

may be attributed to the Arrow Craft buildings and equipm ent.

The Arrow Craft industrial department earned a net income of $10,835.28 subject to deprecia. tion, as compared to $8,879.45 for the previous fiscal year. The difference between the two years was principally due to the l osses of $1,967.99 charged off in 1938·1939, the ordinary net profit being substantially the same. The total sales for 1939-1940 were $42,951.03 as compared to $40,458.57 for 1938-1939. Arrow Craft wages and salaries totaled $15,250.67 while completed articles totaled $6,892.2 7.

JENNIE NICOL MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER

MAY 1939. MAY 1940

THE general trend of the work for the past year has bttn toward community n ursing and preventative The largest increase during that time can be traced to the lack for six months of a doctor in Gatlinburg. A great many visits and some extra treatments were handled at the Health Center that ordinarily would have been tak en care of oth erwise. The offi ce of Dr. Myron Mittelman was opened April 1. and from the beginning, he has been quite busy, Dr. Mittelman was well trained, and his personality and sy mpathetic interest ace making him well received.

Qasses in home nursing were organized for women, and although the weather was unfavorable, attendance was excellent. The group met at the hospital during January and February, led by Mrs. R. E. Creswell, R.N . Di scussions were lively and interesting, and it is our hope to have that service again next year. Prrhaps similar groups can be arranged in one or more of the rural districts in the summer.

Maternity and infant welfare work has about doubled over th r figures for the previous year. Many more women are comi ng for advice and general check up early in pregnancy, and continue to come-for themselves and thejr babies. More are keeping in regular touch with their doctorsall of which is very gratifying.

The annual Elue Ribbon Contest won for II B 'I a 100 pe r (tot banner in sanitation, and first place in thr large school class for the fifth consecutive year. Last year, the big silver cup was won for the third time. making it the permanent property of the school. This year, anothrr of the same size was placed in the cabinet, to be held until another Blue Ribbon Day.

During November, a state dental hygienist examined all of the children of the Grade School, and because of that, more of them had dental corrections made. Tuberculin tests were given all of the high school students, and only three positive reactions resulted from righty tests Those three children were given the privilege of having free chest examinatio05 and x-rays to determine whether they had active or acrested cases of tuberbeIculosis.

The Sevierville Lions CI ub is sponsoring the testing of eyes, and provided. for four children of the district Sevenl others have been fitted and paid for their own. Sevier County Post of the American Legion is still helping to care for crippled children, and Dr. Troy Bagwell is treating four of au! unfortunate ones. A few tonsil operations were performed, and more are planned for the summer. We have had notice that our grant for corrections from the Friends of Moun· tain Children's Fund will be returned after a

Tlapse of two years. Preventive inoculations hav e increased, and there were no cases of small pox or typhoid reported, and but one light case of diphtheria Consequently, we have reaSOn to be proud of the record in the prevention and corre<:tiOD of health troubles

Eighteen baskets were filled and delivered at Christmas time, and li sts prepared for other groups wishing to share in that servi ce Many articles were loaned or given in time of need, and the toy cupbo:trd and the reading shelf helped tide many a tedious hour. The exact use of the shabby old bag is still a mystery to some of our little folk, who find that it dispenses dressings, medicatio n, and toys with equal facility. So far, they haven't fo und a baby in it, but they still have hopes.

As always, one is <tt a loss to summarize the worle of the Health Center. It is so intricately interwoven with the life of the community. The record of a home visit fails to portray the desperate battle with convulsions in the long ho ur before the arrival of the doctor, the steam kettle improvised to the sound of croupy breath ins. or the forced feedings of a baby too weak to nu rs e, or the baby wh o died in my lap before we could get help. But there is much of joy in those figures, too. The happy and conscientious mothers, the clean and sweet babies, active and healthy school children. Then there is the girl, branded delinquent two yean ago, who has now gained self respect and a good husband through understanding advice and a little material help.

Though there are changes in the district, and people come and go, the Jennie Nicol Memorial Health Center still holds a n important position in the life of the community. And it is our hope that it will continue to be of service, according to the standards set at the beginning-cighteen years ago.

Following is the summary of the year's work, in comparison with that of the previous one : elm 0/ Wo,k 1939·40 1938·39

WEAVING DEPARTMENT, JUNE 1940

HERB has not been much change in the routine work of the raving department during the past year We all realize that the move into the new building where we will under one roof will make our work more efficient and much cuier.

We have a larger supply of weaving materials

on hand than is Dormal. I felt it wise to invest i n a large supply of linens of all kinds becawe of the war situation that has reduced the imports to such a great extent. We have enough on hand to run us for about a year if we have no great increase in the business. I would recommend that the clubs be cautioned. about ordering more

linens than tbey are tenonabl, sure t.heT will seJl in order that the returns wiIJ kept down to • minimum ;wd in that way save us from weaving t'Xtra stoclc with which to take cue of the rrtums. We have substituted orner materials for linen wMcever ponibJe and will continue to follow this policy until the supply becomes noemal once more. If the wac continues. wool may also be in the same way.

The girls of the class showed more interest in the weavlng coune than those of previous years. We bad to borrow onc loom to get enough for each two girls IS the dass was large. As long IlJ the present 9 weeks set·up is followed. we can canyon the class. It might be possjble another year to start the class three before Quutmas and in this wIY cause 1m delay with my spring designing program.

We have had • few less weavers this y('lt After investigation I have addtd new wcaven to replace some who dropped out. By regulating the we:tving among the group and seeing that the most needy ones are provided with more weavinA than some of the more fortunate ones, the work has been well distributed. They have been most cooperative and apparently satisfied.

There was a total of elghty·six workers. In the eleven months ending in Mar 1940, they have made 2.461 calls at the weaving building office and I made 1:56 calls in the homes.

The Christmas dinner party given fo,. the weavers was I gala tvent They thoroughly enjoyrd l;ettioA: it ,.eady IDd then the party itself. It was made possible by' using the pritt money the weaver'S took on thtir weaving "'e entered in the Knoxville Pair for them .

The play tJle Weavers' Guild is putting 00 under the di r«tioD of Mr. Charles Palmer durinA this summer season promises to be a successful venture.

The weaving meetings continue to be one of their pleasures. This year we have trird to make them more eduational by having several speaker'S.

Lura Ownby has coatioued to give faithful and intelligent assistance.

I am grateful for the ideas for new designs that are scnt in by tbe many interested Pi Phis. I only wish it could be possible to use all of them but so many times they are not pr3ctical to work out. With the increase in the price of materials and the inadvisability of cutting down on labor costs, it is increasingly difficult to make the inexpensive articles that so many people desire.

I am looki.ng forward to my trip to the Penland Institute this summer and appreciate the opporturuty given to me to attend their summer sessions for a few days.

PRINCIPAL'S ANNUAL REPORT, 1939.40

I N THB life of a school as in the life of a nation, when things run smoothly there is very little of an exciting nature to report. This is especially true of our school this year. With an ex· perienced staff of teachers, and a serious·minded and fairly studious student body, school started out in a business·like manner and continued to run smoothly the school year.

The course of study followed this year of: English, four units; agriculture, three units; home economics, three units; mathe· matics, three units; social science, three units, natural science, two units; and handcrafts. one unit. which gave two high school C,.edits. AD. advanced course in agriculture for junior and senior students was started with eight boys, and a similar cbss for girls in borne economics with five girls enrOlled. The new course in handcrafts sta rted this year, was the most popular vocational course, enrolling six boys and fourtt'Cn girls. All the twenty students enrolled in handcrafts finished the year and received two h igh school credits. In addition to the high school students, over seventy.five adults receh·ed training in hand· cnfts in the eveniog and afternoon classes. The handcraft shop was set up in one corner of the weaving building. Several small power machines were purchased: also a good supply of hand tools The worle in handcrafts consisted of woodwo,.k, wood-carving, and metal work io pewter, copper, brass, and aluminum.

Enrollmenl and Mle"thltu. The high school enrolJmeot on opening day was 104, the same as last year. Others, entering later, brought the total enrollment up to 114, three more than last yeu. Pewer students dropped out of school than in former yean, and we finished the yQC with 10:5 on the rolls. The average daily attendance for the

year was lOlA. This is the 6rst time that our attendance has exceeded the 100 mark. (tOO in average daily attendance is one of the requirements for an .A grade school in this state.)

library A great dtal of improvement was made in the library this year. Tht library more than ever before became tht center of the intellectual life of the school. The catalogi.ng of the 1,860 books was completed. Sixty-6ve nC\v non·fiction bookJ were donated by friends. A new catalo,que case, pamphlet fiJt, picture file, bulletin boards. and several pictures, were added to the library equipment; aU of which helped to (fote a pleasant and stim\llatinA atmosphere.

A Hi-Y club under the direction of Rev. Palmer W35 this year with sixteen members. This club included the boys who were not members of the P.F.A., and met a real need for these boys . The Glee Club led by Miss Ryan and Mrs. Chalmers did some fine work this year. They gave pCO,Rrams a' the local churches and in Pigeon Forge. They also furnished the music for the commencement programs The F A A. Club had the largest membtrship in its histor' and with the Home-ec Club, furnished much 0 the social life of the school. !be school socials were all well attended and enjoyed. with every stude:nt present taking part in the games. The Handcraft Gub gave two chapel programs, and held regular meetings to foster the progress of handcrafts in this community.

Fourteen school students r«eived $378.00 on N.Y.A. aid for work daDe at school this year. This fund enabled sevtral students to remain in sc hool.

Comme"ame"l. Rtv. O . L Rives, pastor of the Gatlinburg Baptist Olurch. preached the baecalaweste sermon, aDd Dr. Fred Smith, Dean of

the University of TennCS5et delivered the com· meneement address. Thirteen 'se niors received state diplomas, and one received a certificate of credit.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REPORT 1939.40

THE Pi Beta Phi Elementary School opened August 21, 1939. In November the annual Stunt and Carnival show was held in the high school gymnasium. The elementary school won fust prize for the best stunt.

For the sixth consecutive year the elementary school has won the Blue Ribbon prize for iacAer schools. This makes four years that a loving cup has won and at present we have two cups. (A school, to keep a cup permanently, must win it for three years in succession.)

Through a gift to the school a newall -steel flag pole thirty·two fffi high was purchased l ast summer for $4.76. ]t makes a much better appearance than the crooked wooden pole it replaced.

A lady in Gatl inburg gave to the school a playhouse and slide that is suitable for smaller children. The Parmt-Teacher Association purchased for us material to make four new see-saws to replace the old ones that have been broken.

All students were asked to bring from two to five pennies to pay for magazines. By this plan we were able to purchase seven magazines that were suitable for that particular room.

Two new professional magazines for teachers were added to the list to make a total of five for teachers. The new maAazines were P,ol,lluitJt! Edutltlion and Childhood Edutltlion. P,ogrtuiflt! &iutttlion is suitable for teachers in the upper grades and Childhood FANtalion for teachers in the primary grades.

These ma,:tazines were purchased by the school and were required by the State Department of Education.

A reading center with table and chairs has been provided in each room. Books are placed on the table suitable for pupils at that particular time

The State of Tenness« (Department of Education) furnished free textbooks for students through the first three grades. This has been a

Ihelp as there are students who could not afford more than one set of books a year.

Two easels have been added to the equipment of the primary rooms, making a total of three for the school. These are used for chart work and drawing by the students.

At the of the year the P.T.A. hired a competent director of the l un ch room by increasing the salary previously paid. The work in the lunch room has been more satisfactory than any previo,!s. yea: as far as good food, sanitation, and supervISIon IS concerned.

The average daily attendance for 1938·39 was 24S.'9 and the total enrollment for this year was 308. The average daily attendance 1939·40 was 247.7' and the total enrollment was 319. This showed an increase in average daily attendance of 2.16 and total enrollment of 11.

Because of the extremely bad winter and an epidemic of chicken-pox our average daily attendance was lower than would have otherwise been had there been a normal winter season.

Because of the cooperation of the teachers and an excellent teaching staff I consider this one of the best years for this department. Only three of our teachers had not had teaching experience.

Progroms have been given throughout the year by the students. Each grade took month about giving programs for P.T.A. The big program of the year was an operetta, The Childfln of Old MOlhe, Goou, given on April 11. About forty-five children took part in this program.

REPORT OF VOCATIONAL HANDCRAFTS TEACHER

1939·40

N THE handcraft classes we had both high school pupils and adults. In the high school class we had twenty-one lxIys and girls and it was a trade preparatory class. Two vocational credits were given f or the work.

The boys and girls have taken a great interest in their work and made a number of things they could never have had, otherwise. Some have become very efficient in their work and plan 00 coo-

tinuing as adults. They have worked in wood and metal; however, they prefer the wood. It would be impossible to enumerote the th i ngs made both in metal and wood At one time this sprin,R: there were ten tables and five cmar chests under construction.

I have enrolled ninety people in the adult class during the year Some came only a few times. but many came regularly. In the fall term, we had

thru from 1 P.W. to P.W:. and three evening classes, from 7 P,M. to 9 P.W.

J go one night • week to the ecc amp and have a dus in woodwork. Man, of these boys arc from $evier County.

The equipment and tools uc all in good condi·

Ttioo. Only one two-foot rule was lost during the year. Comments I have from lIWlJ' people are: Tbis course is the best thing that has come to Gatlinburg. I would cather spend my time here than anywhere else.

HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT

HIS year we offered a third year course in Home Economics to any girl in the junior and .senior class who wanted to take it. This class proved to be very successful, and we are planning 00 three years of Home &onomia next year. There were forty girls enrolled in the three yean of Home Economics.

The freshman girls were instructed in personal Brooming, the fundamentals of clothing, planning and serving breakfast and lunch and the selection and care of for the home.

The sophomore class studied food preservation, maleing a wool dress, planning and a diDnC'r, a six weeks ' course in weaving and personal grooming, and the making of • summer dress These ,2irls had som e rt31 practicC' in preparing and serving a banquet At Christmas time they gave a dinner for the faculty. This spring they pre parC'd and served a banquet for the basketlxal1 boys a nd o ne f or the F.F.A boys and their parents.

Th e senior girls selected problems which they felt they needed At times each girl might have

TbC'm studying about something diffC'reot. Some of the problems selected were: vocations for women, the nursing profession , the dinner unit, costume design, and special problems in dothing. The second semester each girl designC'd a striped woven material for a jadet and actuaUy made the jacket in class This spring the girls planned and purchased all the furnishings for the Agricu1ture Teacher's cabin.

BC'sides the class work ('2ch girl selected three homC' projects to be carried on at home The girls derive real experien ce and skill from this type of work.

We have about fifty girls in the Home Economics Club We belong to the state and National Home Economics Students Club Association. We were able to send three delegates to the state meeting in Nashville.

Our Home Economics Department has been used for two yean now, and we are still very proud of it

HB last year has been a very C'Ojoyable o n e for the boys and girls in the dormitory, Every· thing has/one very smoothly

We ha eight boys and six girls at the beginning of the year. Ita Watson joined us in November. Then in February we lost Charlotte Whaley because her family moved to Pigeon Forge, and she came to school by bw for the rest of the year.

We have had special dinners at Than1csgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and on birthdays.

R EP ORT OF THE VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE TEACHER, 1939·40

All Day Claslts

THBIlS were forty-one boys enrolled in Vocational Three dasses were taught to this group. One of these clasm consists of nineteen fseshman boys; another dass of fiftem sophomore boys, and another group of dght junior and senior boys is being taught. This has been .my biggest year with Vocational Agriculture classes, and it is my hope that we can continue to grow. Of these forty-one beginnioa boys we

have thirty-six who will complete the schoo l year. This shows that 13 per cent more boys stayed in school this year than is true of a year ago.

Two night schools are conducted in two rucal communities for those men who are established in the business of farming One of these ev ening schools is held in the Laurel Grove Community which is located seventeen miles from the Settle· mcot School. This is my third year of conducting classes with these particular farmers . In this com· munity we meet together every other Wednesday oight to discuss their problems and to try to so lve them. The other evening school class was held at th e Laurel Lick Community school House, which is located eleven miles from the Settlement School. The total enrollment in these two groups reached the number of seventy·nine. This part of my work I consider very interesting a nd my success WIth this group has met with favor, especially with Mr Freeman, our state supervisor of Voca· tion al Agriculture.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EXTENSION, 1939·40

THB work of the Committee on &tension for this year has centered itself quite largely around the two groups who will be presenting petitions for chaners at this next Convention. Grand Council has given very direct attention to both groups. II • r at College. with Miry J ane Hill. Missouri A, sent there to help the group in their org:mization. has made rema.rkable progress. IT 4t B at Vanderbilt University has had Edythe Calc Thornton, sent fcom Indiana B. and Virginia D .C. A, to assist in their 0r-niution prognm. Both Lawrence College an Vanderbilt University seemed to Grand Council to prese:nt excellent extension facilities.

New groups manifestiog aD interest in lID .. have been A e Sorority, University of Miami; K 0 at Hofstra College, Hempstead, Long Island, New York; Z 6 at Marquette University; and the Little Rock Alumne Oub has requested consideration of the possibility of installing a chapter at the University of Tennc:ssce. New interest has been manifested this past year in establishing a chapter at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerq ue, although no group has been formed with the definite idea. of petitioning, so far as we know. alumDE, as well as Alumnz Clubs would find the committee most appreciative of intimate information regarding their estimate of these groups and their colleges

Tas possible extension 6elds.

We b:lve continued to keep in touch with the situations at • number of the other colleges and universities who bave contacted us in the p3..St, SO tbat no good opportunity. should it develop in these centers, would be overlooked. But here, as before, no fields have developed to such an extent that they to offer any additional opportunities for extension. These institutions are: Baylor University, Brit is h Columbia University, Bowling Green, Ohio, Buffalo Univet5ity, Kansas City Univenity, Lake Forest University, Louisiana Po lytechnic Institute, McGill &: Queens U n iversity, M arie tta College, Texas Technological College, West Tex:u Stale College. WlUtman College, and Willamette University. The same conditions as heretofore still maintain, that of over crowded fraternity groups, already enough chapters in a particular section, or the cam pus administration does not see fit to permit nationals to get started..

This chairman acknowledges ber appccciation and pleasure in the ronttcts and assistance given by Miss Onken and Mrs . Finger, as well as the alumnz and actives with whom she has worked during the past year. My hearty thanks to the committee members who have worked with me.

COMMITTEE ON SCHOLARSHIP, 1939·40

HE COMMITTEE takes great pleasure in announcing a general improvement in scholarship for the year 1 938-1939. The general average for the Fraternity is 25.69 out of a possible 40 .00. Since 26 .66 places any chapter in the upper third, this average comes very close to being an upper third average. It shows an improvement of full two poinu over the average for 1937·1938 and the committee is hoping th at when the grades for 1939 -1940 are released an even greater improvement will be noticed.

Thirty-eight chapters showed a gain in scholarship while only thirty-two showed a loss. In addition the aver:tge gain for each of the thirtyeight was thirteen while the average loss was eight. Eleven chapters showed neither gain nor loss because most of them remained at the top Forty-two chapters are in the upper third, a gain of seven over last year. and ei$tht provinces have a general average over 26.66. two more than last year. The provinces are Alpha East. Beta. Delta, Epsilon, Zeta. Theta, Iota, and Kappa Lists of the chapters are attached..

Fifteen chapters sbowed an improvement of more than 13 points over last year They are:

Maille A Obio .6.

Vermont A Columbia A. Vrrmont B Michigan A

New YOlk r Indiana A

Ontario A. Nrbraska B

Penns)'lnnia • Oklahoma B Ohio B Colondo B Csli(omia B

The committee has written regularly each month to the chapters and many fine suggestions have been given Some of the methods used for improving scholarship are study cards competitions, awards, charts. individual conferences. mother's teas, date restrictions, and reports on cuts. The Fraternity is fortunate in having so many women able and wiJIing to help the chapten with this problem

"Honors" wecc reported in the February ARRow. The committee regrets that it is still so difficult to get a complete report on these Grades are released very late and Honors frequently not awarded until after the chapter scholarship chairman has gone home for the summer vacation. When the awards are given to seniors it is often hard foe the chairman to get the information and pictures in the fall The committee will appreciate receiving notices of any honor awards from anyone who may know of them before the committee hears.

The committcc and the chapters have been most appreciative of Grand Council's action in awarding the scholarship ring to each chapter. They feel it has been a real incentive for improvement of scholarship_ Rings have been sent to aIJ but nine chapters. These will be sent later. Graphs on the scholarship reports were not published this year since the national chairman was ill during March and A pdt.

The wishes to expccss to Grand

Council their Aratitude for the inspiration of working with them and to thank the province presidents and chapter chainnen (or their assistance in obtaining the improved scholarship.

COMMITTEE ON TRANSFERS

s IN the past few years the tramfer committee has again this year placed the sibility for reporting transfers on the girl's ori,';inaJ chapter. letters including sample transfer blanks were sent to all corresponding in September. In them a was made that blanks be seat both to the new chapter and to this mittee for each member of their chapter who had transferred to a school where there is a n etchapter . Also the obligations of the chapters to new Pi Phis on the campus were explained. ters who sent no reply received follow - up letters.

In September letters were also sent to province presidents as king th eir cooperation with this mittee by checking up on transfers during their chapter visits and by seeing that chapters were fulfilling their obligations to them. Advisory board members were asked to help by meeting monthly with the transfers in cases where there were more than two transfers on the campU3 Letters were sent also to the transfers explaining what they might C'Xp«t of the new chapler. what the general practice is regarding affiliation. and what

Kentu cky A

is expected of them in regard to the nati onal organization and the local group.

It is interesting to note that there were seventy· five transfers in forty·four chapters this year in comparison to sixty-three in thirty chapters la st yeat and fifty·seven in twen7*four two years ago. This may be definite proo that each year the reports coming in are more complete than the year before, There were just ten chapters that failed to report this year.

From the many interesting letters that have come to this committee it is apparent that most chapters are making a definite attempt to do all that is possible to make new girls feel at home and are enjoying their contacts with them

This commiuee appreciates the suggestions that have come from the Grand President, the Grand Secretary, the Director of the Central Office, and all the others and wants to thanlc: them sincerely fot their help

COMMI'ITEE ON SOCIAL EXCHANGE

DU RING the past year, the Committee on Social Exchange has published three Bulletins. The fust. containing material on homecoming, was 5mt in September, 1939. The second, with sugges· tions lor Founders' Day was sent the first day in April, and the third , with descriptions of rush parties and skits, was published in May.

We have found the best times to collect this material iJ about November 10, for combined reports of cushing and homecoming. and May 10 for Pouoders' Day We have arrived at these dates through use of the questionnaire which we scot out Ian year, and the results of our efforts this

Dyear. In this manner we hope to have the material collected for the Bulletins far enough in advance of publication to allow time to work out such details as small illustrations, or Dew and attractive color schemes, which we hope will create more intclcst in the Bulletin.

May J take this opportunity to thank Miss Onken and Mn. Purdunn for their prompt and hc:lpfuJ attention and the members of this committee for their dforts to make these Bulletins worthwhile?

Respectfully submi tted,

COMMITTEE ON PUBLICITY

URING the past year this committee has en· countered an unexpected and difficult problem in the wave of harmful anti fraternity pub· licity which has swept the country. Fortunately IT B has been guided in this crisis by its Grand President whose position as Chairman of Publicity for National Panhellenic has made her fully aware of the dangers inherent in such an attack and of the best means of combatting them. The Aaltow Editor has forthrightly stated the attitude of the Fraternity in several editorials.

As a necessarily inaugurated policy, the pub· licity given out by alumnae dubs and active chapters has beeD curtailed to the essentials lest it be distorted or wrongfully interpreted. However, the sane rebuttals and constructive articles wb..ich have recently been appearing in the public press on a nation·wide scale, ace forming a basis for further publicity of a substantial and favorable character which will doubtless prove this whole experience

Tto have been a cloud with a silver lining; per· haps with a gold lining if only, in addition keach n ., will remember these words of Miss On en's:

"Every fraternity woman, active or alumna, sho uld do her part in giving fraternities the best possible publicity by proving by her own life that the ideals and standards of fraternities ace fine and beautiful and that they become a part of the every day living of their members."

The routine work of the Committee has been ably carried on by its province members under the system established by Marguerite Harwood Elder. Unfortunately, Mrs. Elder found it necessary to resign her chainnanship in April 1940 , leaving the post to be filled by her assistant. Her successor wishes to thank Miss Onken and the committee members for their understanding cooperation and for their constructive suggestions which will help to build the publicity program of the future.

COMMITI'EE ON CHAPTER HOUSE BUILDING AND PLANS

THB on Chapter House Building and Plans has this year been relieved of its former duties concerning the financing of chapter houses. Grand Council has wisely given this responsibility to the supervisors of chapter accounting.

Reports of progress have been received from all the chapters which asked for information last year. There have been no new request'!; this year, California r will enlarge its present quarters. This is also true of California B. Both chapters are in good .financial condition.

Wa.shington Alpha expects to start a new house next sprin.&.

Kentudcy Alpha's bouse pictured in the Fcbru.

acy AllRow is now ideally adequate for chapter meetings and club rooms.

Utah A has also complded its enlarged home, and is comfortably settled.

It is the hope of the members of this Committee that aU chapters in need of improved chap. ter house facilities will be in a position to begin improvement in the near future. and they further· more wish to give any assistance within their power.

The Chairman of this Committee is grateful foc the splendid help given her by the members of Grand Council, her Committee Members, and othe r officers of the Fraternity.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CHAPERONS

FRONT page space, I give with pride and pleasure to news of the Training Schools he There will be two this summer-ooe at Purdue again and one at Oregon State College. Benefits , last summer, were many just from the dormitory life to,2cther (there were nine/y-follr of us) and from table and fireside chats. All that in addition to the great help fr om the lectures and discussions on every phase of a chaperon's worlc:the practical side of menu planning, buying, house management; the psychological and ethi cal side of counselling, developing personalities, stimulating clear thinkin,lt; the social side of creating a genera l atmosphere of culture in the House . You see, a chaperon should be Three in One; if sbe (ould be quintuplets, no onc o f her five selves would be useless. Grand Council this many-sided training so wholeheartedly as to pay tuition for each one enrolled. One chaperon realized the importance of her position when she said, "Chaperoning is as big a job as one has it in her to make it."

RealiziAA the advantages to a chapter from a good chaperon lind the handicaps from an inferi o r one, II B 4» s trives to get highly qualified women to be the Head s of her Houses Conse-

Pquently, proportion of changes is low; of our fifty-four chapero ns , twenty-two have been serving from 6ve to twenty-eight years. It is Miss Fleming, beloved of 1IIinois Z, who this June retires that longest This year, like the two pre<eding years, there were only nine new chapero ns.

Eleven of our chaperon! are Pi Phi!.

It i! gratifying to report that delinquent, messy, inaccurate corresponding secret aries grow fewer and fewer_Can they not this year reach the vanishing point? Cannot each one see that cards and data sheets are accurately and neatly filled and sent to this committee by OClobtr 1 J Remember the date !

What's in a name? Would not the rOles smell sweeter by another? How about "Head of the House"? "Our House Dean"? We are not step mothers and n ow-a-days, we do not really chaperon.

I am glad to voice publicly my appreciation of Mrs. Finger's Leaded D igtst and my gratitude to GC3nd Council for their unfailing support of us chaperons.

REPORT OF DELEGATE TO NATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONGRESS

I BETA PHI'S National Panhellenic Congress delegate has tried not to lose her vision of a possib le cooperation between fraternities which would be fair to e ach a nd valuable to all, even while she has bee n faced with a condition far short of this ideal. She ha! a n abiding belief that every N.P.C. fraternity has something of real value to give to its members, !omething of whic h a ll other fraternities too should be proud, and she is convinced that no person can be the best possible member o f her own fraternity unless she knows and appreciates other fraternities. She is greatly concerned, however, at the with whi ch College Panhellenics are being told by officers of some fraternities and by some D ean! of Women that there is no difference between fraternities and that it makes no difference which fraternity a girt joins. No fraternity is or could be the be-it fraternity for every girl. but for every girl there is a best fraternity. and certainly it makes a vast difference which fraternity one joins. While all fraternities are founded upon !imitar ideals of friendship and service, some have gone far beyond others in m:l1c.ing their contributions to their chapters, alumnae groups, campuses, and communities outstanding; their influence and friendships lasting; and their ideals and !tandards eHective in the lives of their members. If presentday attempts to ignore, minimize, and desuoy the achievements of fraternities who have earned their high places in the college and fraternity world by many years of wise planning. effective functioning, and high service were successful. they could mean only mediocrity for all fraternities and the eventual destruction of the entire system. These attempts arc a dangerow application of the principles of communism and are a

me nace against which fraternities with deserved success must be and are coming to be on guard. No fraternity will long hold a high place in the fraternity world unless it continues to be worthy of it, hut no fratern ity which deserves its prestige can afford to allow its accomplishments to be minimized by a misguided attempt to help weaker fraternities by ascribing, with a total disregard for truth, equal stre ngth-which really means equal weakness-to all If it were true, as some fraternity officers have claimed. that fraternities on a campus are no stronger than th e weakest chapter aD that campus, the fraternity system would have disappeared some years ago. Chains are not destroyed because a weak link is found; it is the linK alone which is either eliminated or replaced. IT B has given proof of its interfraternity friendliness; it has given most generously of its organization materials and methods-all of which are the result of years of careful planning, experience, and hard work- and of the time and strength of its officers to every other fraternity which has asked for suggestions or help. It cannot and will not stand by and see mediocrity thewt upon it. It believes that there must be leaders among fraternities if there are to be development and progress and if there are to be ad· vancing goals for fraternities. IT B is a leader and it i! determined to h o ld that place of responsibility and high esteem because it continues to deserve it and so to contribute largely to the cause of all fraternities.

The convictions of Pi Beta Phi's delegate about the menace of the quota system, which is sometimes called the principle of limitation, bave been deepened by ber experien ces of the past two yean. Because some persons have said that ooly n B •

is opposed to such a systcn, perhaps it would be to quote from the official private publication of another great national women's fntemity, one of II B . 's rivals. This fraternity has said:

Reports made to the 1939 Panhellenic Con· gress . a substantial .'tain, over the im. mediotely precedin,ll; interim between Congrcsscs, in the number of new chapters, alumnz groups, and members. Twenty·three fraternities reported the installation of thirty new chapters, as com· pared with twenty; the establishing of 179 new alumnz groups compared with 161; and the loss of twenty· two compared with thirty·one. The decided in the number of alumnz groups proved that .11 fraternities now realize the value nrst seen by IT B of an organized membership. The total number of active chapters reported was 1,IH; of or,ltanized alum :!: groups, 2, 181; and of members, }42,795. Durin,lt the two years between Congresses, Z T A led fraternities in the number of new chapters, 10· stalling five; A 0 n, 0. r, and d Z installed three each; A 6. n X n, and 41 M, two each; and

K K r. e T, and IT B ., one each. Twelve f rater. nities, amon,g which was IT B +, had lost no chapters while the other eleven had lost from one to seven chapten each. Shortly before N.P.C., A 0. e announced its dissolution and its absorption by ca. M, effective at the close of the thus reducing the number of N.P.C. fraterOlt les to twenty -two.

Interest in altruistic projects continues to be great. Here again n B ca. was a leader. but alr:nost all fraternities now either have established philanthropic projects or are investigating possible fields for them, New or enlarged projects, announced

since the 1938 Convention, are Alpha Delta Pi's expansion of its fel10wship pro'l:ram to in addition to its Day Nursrry School FelJowshJps. those in any branch of hi,dler education for womm; AJpha Gamma De-ltI: ' , plan to "make a haven for members without family ties who may wish to take advanta'l:e of I fraternity home"; Alpha Xi Delta', establishment of a committee to arrange for permanmt care for its Founders; Delta Gamma's creation of the Corinne Miller for Fraternity Service; and Gamma Phi Beta's award of twenty-six two-week scholarships in camp training courses in districts remote from the headquarters of th.t fraternity's OWD two camps. Members of n B 4> ue urged to familiarize themselves with the facts about the sreat altruistic projects of nther fraternities as well as of their own Fraternity and to fcd a real pride in each, since all reBect fraternity ideals and bring distinction to fraternities.

The growing tendmcy of N.P C. fraternities to have their entire Grand Councils at the birnnial meetings of National Pan hellenic Congress in order that they may hear discussions there, may give of their rxperience and ability to round tables for various officers, and may gain the un· questionable advantage of a broadenrd interfraternity acquaintanceship has meant that for the past three congresses all members of Pi Beta Phi's Grand Council have been present The delegate felt a very great pride in the place which her fraternity's other officers made for themselves and for the outstanding way in which they represented n n 4>. It was an added privilege, at the last N,P.C., to introduce Candace Johnson, Beta Province Vice-President, who was able to include White Sulphur Springs on a regular trip and so could attend the banquet. Mrs. Harry S. Rogers, wife of Dr. Rogers who is President of the National Interfraternity Conference, was a speaker at N P C., and active chapter members representRandolph-Macon and John B. Stetson Pan· hellenics.

From 1937 to October, 1939, Pi Phi's de legate served as Chairman of the Committee on Protection of Fraternity Insignia and durin,g the latter part of that pedod was given the added responsibi l ity of publicity supervision. At Na· tiona. Panhellenic Congress, she served as officiP.l publicity director and had charge of the presenta· tion of "Publicity" at the luncheon which was under the general direction of N P,C. editors. Pi Beta Phi's Editor was in charge of an excep· tionally successful and delightful Editor's banquet. At present, the delegate is Chairman of the newly established Committee on Publicity and is a member of the Committee on Eligibility and Nationalization of Social Groups .

The N.P ,C. de legate can no better express the goal to which she has held as the representative of her distinguished fraternity than to repeat that she "has sincerely tried to make her repre· sentation worthy of her fraternity and to make Panhel1enic friends for n B

PI B ETA PHI MAGAZINE AGENCY

FROM June I, 1939 through May 1 S, 1940, the II B cz, M agazine Agency has rea l ized a profit fr om the sale of magazines through alumnae clubs, active chapters and individuals amounting to $3.1)3.20. If the amount collected from bonuses and refunds for this same period, amounting to $B80.n were 3dded to this amount the grand tota l would be $4,033 33. Money collected from bonU5eS and refunds is used for the expense of maintai ning the Magazine This year the of the agency were increased due to the fact that S318 n was spent for advertising in the fall of 1939 when advertising cards were to the entire membership of n B <to

The agency has sent $2,SOO.00 to the treasurer of the Settlement Schoo l for the year 1939-40; the remainder of profit , $6H .20 , is deposited in the Marshall State Bank to offset service charges on checks.

Below are the profits for the past thirteen years:

1927·28 1928·29 1929·30 19 30 ·31 1931·32 1932·33 1933·34

1936·37 1937·38 1938·39 1939·40

The Magazine Agency received a check from DiX6I1 for a Christmas bonus amounti n g to $333 .00 indicating that 1, 110 subscriptions for this popular publication were sold through the n B • Magazine Agency from October 10. 1939 through January 10, 1940

In February, 1940, alumne clubs and chapters were no tified of the half year totals that they had made. In May, 1940, the same groups were Doti· ned of their yearly totals In September. 1939, all dubs and chapters received letters explaini ng the details of the magazine agency.

Supplies such as order blanlcs, prize lists. en· closure cards were sent direct to the alumna! club magazine chairmen from the Franklin Square Agency. Supp lies for the active chapter magazine chairmen were scnt to the chapters (rom the Centml Office The price lists are sent out in October or as soon as they arc complete.

Fifty-one active chapters contributed toward the sale of magazines this year. Last year only 40 contributed and this is quite an encouraging increase

In issue of the ARROW this there ha.s appeared a magazine subscription blank which is a convenient form to we and which has helped increase the magazine pronts.

Most of the magazine business is at Christma s time. The deadline of Decembe r '. fo r sending in magazines for Christm:l.s delivery was the one that was used satis factor ily this year and it will be used again in 19-40-41.

Fo r several years the n n cfI Magazine .Agency was not allowed to sell and ParISI". at a profit but this year the agency was reinstated and this has increased our profits. It is the hope of the Director that the II B 41 Magazine Agency will never be on the blark list of these publishers agai n and it will be realized if all magazine chairmen in sis t that subscriptions for these publi· cations are taken with the understanding that the publisher's term s must be obeyed.

It has been suggested that a Manual of Map· zine Chairmen would be useful and one will be issued this fall to all alumnae and active magazine chairmen.

Canadian clubs and chapters have sent in orders for magazines this year and the maga zine agency has paid for the loss encountered in the rate of achange.

Following is th e 6nancial statement for the year; m!lgazine statistics; and commissions credited to clubs, chapters :lnd individuals. The statistics giving the hi ghest commissions per capita is given so that the smaller club may compete with the Jarget club on a comparative basis

The Director of the Magazine Agency wishes to thank aU members who have contributed to the success of the agency this yeat.

this record aad a letter of explanation outlining OU( present system of voting in Convent io n ae· companied the questionnaire sent to the club presidents With this material in hand the clubs Wert asked to make a careful study of the subject with the request that the qu es tions be brought up for general dub discussion and answered either by the group as a whole or by a spedal com· mittee appointed for that The proport ion of answered·returned questionnaires: was fairly high , indicating a genuine interest among the aiumn11!, and it is upon these answers that the com mittee bases its report and recommendations.

R ESULTS OF THB QUESTIONNAIRE

192 Questionnaires sent.

123 Questionnaires returned.

1. Do you favor the present system of voting at Convention?

Number in favor-52 Number opposed-.s.s.

Opinion divided-16.

With the opposition slightly greater this point will be included in a resolution

2. Do you favor a system of voting which would entitle alumnI! club delegates to an equ::al voting power with that of the active chapter delegates?

Number in fav or-19. Number opposed--86 .

Opinjon divided-16.

With this overwhelming opposition to equal voting power the committee abandons further consideration of this question.

3. Do you favor the plan suggested by the Alpha Province Conference that alumnae clubs, in comparison with active chapters. be granted a voting power in a ratio of 1 to 21!2 on all matters of general Fraternity policy and the election of all national officers?

Number in favor-30. Number opposed-67 .

Opinion divided-26.

The decisive note against this plan eliminates it from further consideration by the committee.

4. Do you favor a plan suggested by the Eta Province Conference: Each province to be entitled to alumnae according to paid alumnI! dues, such representation to be elected at Conventio n by and from the ac· credited club delegates of that province present at Convention?

Number in favor-26. Number opposed-68

No opinion-2B.

AAain the answer is "no" and the suggestion dismissed.

S Will your group submit a plan which it considers a fair proportionate system of voting in Convention?

While many clubs did not submit a plan of their own, the committee wishes to express its appreciation to those clubs who did take the time and trouble to work out such a plan. Despite the fact that we found many interesting and helpful suggestions in these various plans they were in each case worked out on a system of or approxim3.tely equal voting power and because of the overwhelming vote against sucb • proposition, the committee has Dot found it possible to usc them. Outstanding among these were plans sub. mitted by the OeveJand Alumnae Oub and the Chiago West Suburban Alwnnr Oub. The former is based upon a which would create

club groups of three dubs to each club group with one representat ive, chosen in rotation, f o r each club group. Mrs Cook made a very inter-cstinA chart showing how this system would parallel another with one representative for each one hundred members . Suggest ions of a similar nature came in from o ther clubs. The latter plan proposes the ele ction of province delegates at the province conferences preceding Conventi on . In this the committee has fo und the basis f o r its recommendation to follow.

6 Do you favor the present system, wherein only those alumna: clubs sending delegates to Convention hll.ve a vote in alumnz sessions?

Number in favor-71. Number opposed-29. No opin ion-23.

This question no longer claims our consideration.

7 Do you favor a definite tenure of office [or all national officers?

Number in hvor-.s4. Number opposed-.sl. No opinion-lB.

Since this vote indi cates a slight preference for tenure the question will be referred to in recommendat io ns.

8. Do you bel ieve that alumnae club delegates should be entitled to vote in the election of all national officers?

Number in favor-6.s. Nwnber opposed-42. No opinio n -16 .

9. Do you believe that alumna: club delegates should be ent it led to vote only in the election of Grand Vi ce-Presid ent and Assistant to the Gra nd Vice-President?

Number in favor--42. Number opposed-6.5. No opinion-16.

With • majority expressing a desire for an alumOlle voice in the election of all national officers this point will be incorporated in the recommendatioDs.

CoNCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

From questions I , 2, and 8 we draw the following conclusions: While the alumna: do not wish equa l voting power with that of the active chapters , they do desi re a change in the present system and a voice in the ele<:ti on of all national officers. The Personnel of Convention as given in Article II, Sec. ] is:

&. Gnnd Council ,

b. A ssiltant to Gr.nd President 1

c. A uist.n! to Grand Vice- Prtsident 1

d. Ass istant to Gr.nd Treasurer 1

o. Such other members .u: the PutrID ity sb.1I decide upon ., <10 81

This present regulation represents practically a two to one vote with an alumnI! personnel made up of outstanding Pi Phis chosen because of meritorioUJ service in their own dubs or com· munities and because they have proven themselves Jeaders in DB. work. Being ever mindful

of the fact that n B • is and must remain an undergraduate organ ization, the figures of 40 votes (o r 197 .Iumne dubs against 81 votes for 81 active chapters is definjtely out of alignment. For a bnter baJ oce of voting power which w o uld increase the aJumOlr vote. but wo uld never or excell that of the .ctive chapter vote. we submit fo r your consideratio n a recommendation baso::l in part upon the plan of the Olic.ago West Suburban Club.

Such • measure would provide for 26 additional .Iumnle yo tn bringing the total number up to 66. This plan offers definite advantages not onl), in stimulati ng alumnz interest:. but in pro. viding Convention with well informed delegates cognizant of province needs and conditions with a year in which to study the national aspects of the Fnternity

Under our present method a representative is o ften chosen beca use of a convenience in personal plans or a 6t in vacation This docs not necessarily produce an enlightened delegate

Now let us consider Tmure of Office. With the vote slightly in favor of tenure the committee submits for your consideration the plan outlined by the Champaign·Urbana AlumnI! Club.

Service for the full length of time in one office would not bar that person from a similar lenRth of service in another office . This for rotation of office or the stepping up from one office to another known as the " stack" system .nd the introduction of new material with new ideas.

Under the present system nominating committees in both active and alumnz sessions are appointed . Contingent upon Recommendation t, which suggests that alumnz delegates be given a voice io the e1«tion of all national officers we submit this 6nal recommendati o n.
