Lucile D. Carson's Pi Phi Commandments TheJe Tell CommandmentJ were read to

Ohio A chapter by Lflcile DOflgiaI CarIon, Illinois A, Province President.

1. Thou shalt never forget thy heritage and shalt ever prove thy valuing of it by thy conduct.

2. Thou shalt accept the task assigned to thee within thy chapter, acknowledging her need of tbee and her confidence in thy power to serve, and, thou shalt perform it gladly and with thy whole heart.

3. Thou shalt never be guilty of inflicting the heartache that lies in acts of snobbery, remembering that true quality lies within and is worthy of thy seeking, and that thou art unable to be above reproach thyself.

4. Thou shalt not seek honor by grasping it but by a steady faithfulness in unheralded paths-deserve some trusted post among thy fellows.

5 . Thou sbalt have such self-respect that thou shalt not be found among the dullards on thy campus but shalt ever walk unafraid before thy teachers.

6. Thou shalt cherish thy pledges and carefully shepherd them, remembering that

in them lies the future of thy chapter and that they will stand in thy stead when thou art gone.

7. Thou shalt never cast thy vote unthink­ingly for one seeking admittance, realizing in the first place that in thy choice lies the future of thy chapter, and in the secon d that, refusing, thou hast shut the gate to one who comes as thou once did, beseeching. Weigh carefully these two.

8 . Thou shalt care more for thy chapter's good than for thine own desire, believing that in her welfare lies thine own.

9. Thou shalt not cast aside admonition impatiently, before thou clost remember that one who loves these and the fraternity will never ask ought of thee arbitrarily but be­cause she has concern for thy happiness and an experienced knowledge of the pathways before thee.

10. Thou shalt so act and live up on thy campus that when four years are g one the tears that fall shall be of true grief because of thy leaving and shalt be accompanied by sincere regret on the part of those outside the company of thy sisters.

O NE DAY this fall in the mail for the Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency was

an order for a bridal gift and on investi­gation it was found that the bride was given a magazine shower and her friends had showered her with Mademoiselle ($2.50); Vogue, ($5.00); Ute, ($4.50); and Time ($5 .00). Have you thought of giving magazines as gifts? Below are pictures of cards that may be sent to the donor upon request. Maga­zines as bridge prizes are always appre­ciated. Let the winner fill out the maga­zine she wants from a list that you sub­mit to her as shown on the "winner card."

Magazines as birthday gifts are very popular. These cards are valuable to have on hand, for if you should for­get to purchase a prize you will al­ways have the card to give to the re­cipient and afterwards you can place the order for the magazine through the Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency, Marshall, III.

The Pi Beta Phi Magazine Agency can fill orders for any magazine published. Send your own subscrip­tions and gift subscriptions to your fraternity so that it may benefit from the profits which are sent to the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School.

Mrs. Libbey's Toast Convention Banquet, Pasadena

DEAR PI BETA PHIS,

I am glad to be here with you tonight.

For all of us this has been a week of helpful meetings and pleasant times together.

When very young we learned that " Little drops of water" made the mighty ocean, "Little grains of sand" made the pleasant land .

Most great things have small beginnings-so it was with I.e.- IT B <1> .

Seventy three years ago only twelve girls in the world were wearing our golden arrow, now we are numbered by the thousands. The loyalty and service of the thousands make n B <I> large and strong.

At the first mention of forming a club, the Founders were thrilled. We had a Vision. Rig ht then we decided to attach ourselves to Monmouth College, as a barnacle to a ship, without so much as a "by your leave," to expand, to enter other colleges, universities and states, to ask Elizabeth Cady Stanton to permit us to make her an honorary member. This we did to give prestige to our dub.

Do you not think we had a Vision?

Dear Pi Beta Phis Wherever you may be Much good may you do And right to the last To the best be true.

FANNIE WHITEN .... CK LIBBEY

THE ARROW OF PI BETA PHI DECEMBER, 1940 Volume ~7 Number 2

EDITORIALS New Pi Phis

T HIS faU has seen many new members added to II B <1>. Pledge lists are still coming in, and their total bids fair to be the largest increase in potential membership in years.

Two new chapters have been added to the Fraternity, and to them goes every good wish from all Pi Beta Phis. Both Wisconsin r and Tennessee B have pledged fine large classes of girls in every way complying with fraternity requirements. Elsewhere in this issue we have ac­counts of the two installations, and pictures of the girls which tell their own story.

Congratulations to both those chapters. and to all our new initiates and OUf many new pledges as well! The ARROW wishes for them a happy experience in 11 B 4>, and assures them that their life in the Fraternity will be full and rich if they give to it the fine loyalty, devotion, and friendship which its years of honorable existence deserve. We joy in sharing with them the rich heritage of the past, the interesting promise of the future-it is their part to be worthy successors to those who have carried on the wealth of tradition that is the proud possession of II B <1>.

+ + + N.I.C. Dinner

On November 29 there was held in New York a dinner given by the National Inter­r raternity Conference which promised as we went to press to hold much of interest and significance in these days when so many of the fine established principles of the world seem to be falling into disuse. The program promised patriotic and fraternity speeches by men of national note, and we hope to bring to you in the March ARROW a full account of the event. For the first time, the National Panhellenic Congress was invited to take part, and rr B $ was represented by an official guest, as well as by the wives of such prominent speakers as Lowell Thomas and Dr. Harry Rodgers, and by Mrs. Lloyd G. Balfour, wife of the chairman of the N.I.C.

+ + + Pectin Prize

An investigation at Convention showed that we have some famous jelly makers among our membership, and following Convention a check for $50 for the Settlement School was received from the Jell-Well Company, makers of the Product "Pectin." Pi Phis, Theo Swan Hendee and Marie Gaby, Utah A, Margaret Jackson, Ill inois A, Dorothy Seidel Preble, Ill inois Z, and others, gave their endorsements and allowed the use of their pictures to eam this contribution to II B <1>, and had a good time doing it.

+ + + Of Little Pigeons

A new pin made its appearance last Spring, but did not (orne to general Pi Phi notice until Convention time in Pasadena. It is a new guard pin, designed either to accompany a Pi Phi badge or to be worn alone, a charming tiny gold pigeon with outspread wings, the artistic work of the 1. G. Balfour Company. It may be worn as a guard by ' ny member of n B <I> who has ever served the Settlement School, either as a member of the school staff, or on the Settlement School .Committee. The pins may be ordered through the Little Pigeon Alumnre Club, at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, at a cost of $1.25.

192 THE DECEMBER ARROW

Arrow Cakes An innovation at the Convention banquet was the bringing in of the lighted Arrow Cake,

in tribute to Mrs. Libbey, by Arizona A girls. The ceremony has long been a feature of formal dinner in that chapter, and has been used elsewhere also. The Tucson Alumnre Club asks that we call the attention of the clubs and chapters to the fact that the cake pans are for sale. Prices, etc. may be found on the page " Publications of Pi Beta Phi," at the back of this issue.

+ + + Recognition Pin

A plain recognition pin was found at Convention and turned over to Miss Onken. Further informat ion may be had by writing to her. If not claimed within a reasonable time, the pin will be given to the finder, so act quickly if it is yours.

+ + + Of Fairness

In these days of whirling events and changing values, we who have been granted the privilege of fraternity membership must assume a responsibility proportionate to the benefits received. Ours is the task of so using our influence that fine things such as our rituals declare m ay not perish from an unhappy world. Ours is a double moral obligation; first, so to live with the world at large that it is a better place even in some small sense because of our existence, whatever may be our special interests, whether they be political campaigns (as now when we write), civic affairs, home management, business, or family relations; and second, so to live within II B ~ that we realize to the utmost the possibilities for good of the Fraternity. In the activities of our chapters and our alumnre clubs we share in something different from the agenda of ordinary social clubs or political organizations.

Through our more than seventy-three years of life we have developed a type of organiza· tion that has always been outstanding in charity and fairness of view, far removed from taint of ruthless politics or unworthy methods. Seldom indeed in our history have we seen any play of politics; seldom have the ruthless and ugly methods such as have sometimes disgraced our national political scene shown themselves in the gatherings of our own or any other college fraternity. And this is right ; a fraternity should differ from other organiza­tions in the controlling, lasting quality of its bond, in its common ground of friendship between members, in its basis of spiritual interest and enlightened thinking.

More than ever in such troubled times as these must that strong tie be respected. These are days for clear thinking, unswayed by unfair tricks or methods aimed at the overthrow of existing strength. In all such organizations as ours, changes will come, and rightly so, when needed, or when demanded by a majority of the membership; such changes will be without value unless they are gained through a continuance of the fair play and honorable conduct of her members for which IT B 4> has been known since her founding, "with malice towards none, with charity for all."

A Merry Christmas to alJ Pi Phil, ef1erywherel

Convention-Some Memories

A NOTHER Convention is history. The busi. ~ ness side of its meetings, its con­troversies, its worth while accomplishments, were related in the September ARROW, Such legislation as the plan for the restoration of the Holt House, the extension of our Loan Fund to include graduate studp.nts, and the gift of $5,000 to the War Rdief work of the Red Cross, $4,000 through the Ameri­can Red Cross, the remainder through the Canadian Red Cross, all these things and many other measures passed will have long­enduring results in the life of IT B <1>, Yet when we who shared those days look back on them, what will we remember? We shall think of other aspects of the crowded, swift, ly running days when we were together, we shall remember moments outside of business :neetings and conferences.

We shall see the portico and front hall of the Huntington when the girls were arriving in gay melange of greetings and meetings; later that afternoon the lobby thronged for the ceception honoring our Panhellenic guests, with Mrs. Libby's chair the center of attraction; the informal supper following with its real chance for talk with our guests (the Editor will remember charming Judge Georgia Bullock, X n, commenting as she looked over at Mrs, Libbey who was seated at the next table, "There is nothing but good­ness and sweetness in a line of that dear old face" ) ; the fine ta lk of Miss Helen Haller, Grand President of A 0 II; the traditional open meeting, beginning this time with the new and lovely memorial service, made irn· pressive and lovely by Alice Teegarden's sing­ing of the Memorial Hymn, and by the work of Louise Spalding Malin, Iowa B, and the girls of CalIfornia r and California a; the jolly watermelon feast that followed in the g reat kitchens of the hotel ; the next night model initiation, more beautiful than ever in the cream and gold setting of the Hunting­ton ballroom (who can ever forget the pic­ture of lovely tall slender Ruth Latimer, ini ­tiate, being led in by her equally stately sis­ter, Martha Latimer Willard, Illinois a); Fancy Dress Parade outdoors, with mOre girls in costume than ever before, hundreds of them, and they looked like thousands to the anxious judges who watched them winding

their way down the long Right of steps from the Picture Bridge to the green cool setting of the pool, surrounded by tables for the real Hawaiian Luau that followed- there were lovely groups of carefully planned costumes, still more lovely individual gowns, so pity the judges who tried to do it justice in so brief a view, and laugh with those judges over that tired moment when one of them s aid, "But I did not see any funny ones!" and then they asked Mr, Greene and the boys who took the pictures, and awarded the prize for the most comical costume accordingly! That haunting real Hawaiian orchestra, fresh from the Islands, those native dancers, the prize winners parading across the float under the lights in the gathering dusk- how lovely they were, pictures accompanying the show; Stunt Night, a theatre of the Gay Nineties, with the Los Angeles people still in the cos­tumes of that period which had won for them a prize- who could forget Enid Hay­ward's precise perfection, Netta Young's gorgeous old black lace grown and hat regal with plumes, Dorothy Webb's deceiving man's get,up, the old timey boxes for seating honored guests, the songs, the carefully chos· en and well·acted stunts?

Then Recreation Day, with the g irls scat· tered far and wide ; one large party visiting Warner Brothers Studio, meeting stars, driv· ing through the hills to Leta Schreiber Gos­den's (Colorado B) lovely home, to have tea with her and Rosemary Lane, Iowa B, then on to the home of Peg Pearson Seibert, to see her father's collection of mounted wild ani· mal heads; on to the California a house for more tea ; another group to Catalina Island for the day- and what a day! More than were expected just staying to enjoy the charm of the Huntington, the pool and the gardens, a chance fo r real visiting and leisurely talk ; that night the formal dance, new feature of Pi Phi Conventions, and how the girls loved it and what grand party it was, for the active girls and their swarming dates, and for the alumnz who brought their husbands and had a real festival of their own in the lobby, a perfectly managed evening; Settlement School Night with its ballad singers and its play for which Rosemary Barnwell, Illinois H, and her Gamma Province girls get the credit;

MRS. SOULE INEZ SMITH SoULE, beloved Founder, could not come to Conven­

tion, but she sent a gorgeous gift of flowers . Next best thing to

having her there, is to see this picture of her, sent to the ARROW

by her son, Cleone Soule, of Tacoma, Washington. It shows

her with her three Pi Phi granddaughters, Ruth Morrow Henry,

Illinois A, Eleanor Soule, Washington A, and Leonore Brown

Webb, Washington B. The picture was taken on her 94th birth­

day.

Mrs . Soule wishes to extend her warmest thanlcs to the members of the Fraternity who remonbert'd Mr with gr«tings 00 her ninety·fourth birthday.

The Fraternity will be internted to m o"" that among the nrst contributions to come in for the restoration of the Holt House was a gift of $100 from Mes . Soule.

THE DECEMBER ARROW 195

the Deans dinner, Fourth of July night, with Mr. W. C. Mullendore's speech, "Freedom', Crisis," a ringing challenge to us all; dimax of all the banquet, its tables overflowing into the patio, nearly a thousand Pi Phis present; the glowing orange beauty of Bowers and candles and charming little caretas (those carts the committee actually made!), the elaborate scenes which served as back· ground for the "Pageant of Progress" theme ; if only we had space to do more than say that credit for it all f!.oes to Ruth Barrett Smith, Grand Vice.presldent, Edna Carscadden Wil· son, and all those others who worked on that conunittee; wonderful heartfelt singing, ringing applause, laughter, Mrs. Libbey's face when the Arrow cake was brought in by the Arizona girls and pointed at her; truly a night to cherish in memory!

What else to remember? Personalities, too many of them to make even a beginning of knowing them all, different ones appealing to different I.'eople. Always Mrs. Libbey, $ay with "her girls," happy, interested, insplla­tion forever; Mary Miller Barnes, Kansas A, first editor of the ARROW and honor guest of Convention, her delightful philosophy of life helping all who talked with her, as when she said. "There's nothing too small; there's nothing too lowly, that can't be loved. Every. thing is worth while, if you only open your eyes to it," Ruth Latimer, Convention initi­ate to be proud of; Ruth Wilson and the girls in the Daily office, who were bureau of in­formation, guides, companions, and friends to everyone who came down their corridor, and special joy of the ARRow Editor; those speakers who gracefully adapted themselves

to suddenly changed plans and gave so much to their meetings; Amy Onken and Ruth Smith presiding over difficult business ses· sions With gracious charm; Ann Everingham, California B, with her harp, Alice Teegarden with her lovely voice, Pauline Thompkins and Ethel Nelson in their perfect reading of "The Happy Prince"; Grace Post, and her committee (look back to their pictures in the February, 1940, ARROW) , everywhere at oncc, managing this Convention as few Con­,'entions have been managed, and having the time of their lives doing it; their committees all working hard, such as registration that greeted us and sorted us, and hospitality that kept us happy; Jeanne Stith, Iowa A, chosen Queen of the Special Train, wearing her honors with unspoiled grace; Annas Gris­wold and her assistants, making Convention sing and like it!

Everywhere gids, and more girls, making friends, enjoying every instant, impressing all who saw them with their poise and charm­one Huntington guest said, "I would not have missed seeing all those fine girls for the world."

Heartwarming, thrilling, exciting, color­ful-98 1 Pi Phis playing their parts on a per· fect stage, the Huntington Hotel; living through a week of happenings grave and gay, formal and informal, storing up impressions, some to be taken home in formal reports to chapters, some to be thought over and talked over wherever Pi Phis gather. We have had two Conventions at the Huntington- here's to the possibility of a third some other not· too·distant day.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF A FIRST CONVENTION By A PI PHI A LUMNA

NOT a familiar face for several minutes, but one felt no strangeness, only sensing an atmos­phere of intentness, warmth , friendships renewed. Quite a buzz? Well several hundred women, yet not the impersonal cackle female garherinjZs can be_ More of an enthusiastic, happy hum. The dignified, the smart, the pretty, the plain, the cute, the lovely- all types mingling, all ages, with an air of being wanted, of ~ing at home.

The interest and thrill of seeing nationa l officers, lOPped by the sudden realization that one of th~ almost legendary Founders was there, in ~rson. A dear person, ready and beaming, to give one·s hand a warm squeeze. The very essence of Pi Phi tradition and spirit seems to shine from her face.

The friendly poise and ability of the Grand President, the real talent of the artists on the suppC:r program. The feeling of kinship with all t~ fraternity world. The hearing of hun­dreds of voices taking part in the r itual. One is moved bv the feeling of beauty, faith, stability, worship, which undergirds Pi Phi . How wonderful to be a part of something so real, so splendid.-J .... NE ANDERSON JACKSON, Iowa Zeta

My Pi Phi Treasures Dedicated 10 AMY B . ONKEN

In the years to come, as I look back on the 1940 Convention, these are the things I shall treasu re in my memory; the thi ngs I sha ll cherish forever, the things that no stress and stra in of circumstance can ever ta ke away from me.

I shall treasu.re the light from the western sky As a waving palm tree plume

M ade graceful shadows upon the walls Of our convention room.

J sha ll hear a wind bell , sweet and clear Add its tinJdin~ musinJ note

T o the hub-bub of voices of delegates At work with report and vote.

1 shall see the S<lft colors of pastel gowns In processional, S<llemn and brave

And hear )'oun~ voices sin~ing a hymn Of memory, faith and love.

1 sha ll think of the pictule around the poo l 00 a sparkling, star-lit oight-

The co lor, the costumes, the music, the lights; A dream.like, fairy-land sight.

t sh:!.I1 marvel forever, at all that was done In the cleverest possible way

T o show with a skit, an exhibit, or song What each ,Rroup had to do, or to say.

I sha ll c1in~ to our world of true love and faith Which binds us, forever secure.

No threat from without can weaken my trust 10 the bonds of a sisterhood pure.

But the thin,ll' that shall li ve in my heart for all time Is the Spirit of Pi Beta Phi:

The womanly coura~e to meet any ordeals With heads held bravely and high .

Holt House, Monmouth, Illinois

T HE HOLT HOUSE! Almost twenty col­lege generations of Pi Beta Phis have

held it enshrined in their hearts as the place of the founding of the Fraternity. There had been the lirst, oaring thought of a national college fraternity for women; there had been pointedly private conversations on the Mon­mouth campus and on the Whitenack's porch; and then, on April 28, 1867, there was the meeting in the Holt House room of Ada Bruen and Libbie Brook, when the Founders of n B <I> formally voted to organ­ize 1. C. Sorosis and promised that they would "always conceal and never reveal" how they had become members-of "Beta chapter" !-and would keep secret the mean­ing of 1. C. How understandable it is that the 1940 Convention voted with such enthusiasm that this house, so filled with treasured mem­ories. should be preserved as a memorial to the fraternity 's founding! Already the work of restoration has begun. The good, plain lines of the house-so in keeping with the tru ly good, plain Jivin~ of the early eighteen hundreds-mean a dIgnity and charm in­creasingly evident as the house returns to its original, well-kept condition. The passer-by will note its white paint and green shutters, its windows with their glistening small panes, and its old-fashioned entrance with the original beveled glass. There will be the living room with its open fireplace, undoubt­edly "the parlor" of 1867 in which at least

201

two Founders met their "dates" when they and the fraternity were young. There'll be the large chapter room, created by combining what may have been two "back bedrooms"; there'll be other living rooms, the caretaker's suite, bathrooms, a powder room, and a kitchen. And, most cherished of all, there'll be the room in which the organization of the fraternity became a living fact! Every other member of the fraternity must be envying the Monmouth Pi Phis the thrill of watching the transformation of a long-unused house into a national shrine!

The Holt H ouse Committee, whose mem­bers represent the alumnre clubs of Mon­mouth, Kansas City, Decatur, Madison, and Milwaukee, are enthusiastically at work plan­ning for the furnishing and for the main­tenance of the house and sharing with Grand Council the responsibility for its restoration.

Pi Beta Phis, yours is the privilege of help­ing to make the Holt House live again as the home of n B <1>. Chapters, Clubs, and Indi­viduals , there is a part fo r each of you and no part, however small, will fail to be im­portant. You will determine the degree to which the Holt House will represent the loyalty of Pi Beta Phis to the traditions of its founding. Through seventy-three years, you have not failed you r fraternity; you do not fail it, because you love it.

The installation of a chapter at Vanderbilt is the culmination of many years' activity on the part of the Nashville A lumnre. Last year three Pi Beta Phis, Edythe Cale Thornton, Indiana B, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Katsy Aycock, Virginia A, of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Miri'\ffi Freeman, Alabama A, of Birm­ingham, Alabama, transferred from other campuses to join Virginia Hindman, D.C. A. in colonizing the chapter on the Vanderbilt campus. After a period of successful rushing last fall nine girls were pledged to the new chapter, J] <P B, and it is these nine girls who form the charter group of Tennessee B.

All through the first year at Vanderbilt the

new group featured prominently on the cam­pus and in college activities. On the Student Christian Association Board three of the six girls selected were Pi Phi Betas. Virginia Hindman became the first president of Mortar Board when it was installed at the university in the spring of 1940. Another member, Medora Bryant, was initiated into X A It> as a freshman. Prom favorites and football sponsors were also chosen from the group. On Homecoming Day the n It> B Boat won second prize.

Vanderbilt University

History

I N THE year 1872 the State of Tennessee grant~ a charter to Central University.

but in 1873 at the first donation of Com­modore Vanderbilt the name was changed to Vanderbilt University. The year 1875 marked the division of the university into the following : College of Arts and Science; School of Law; School of Medicine; and School of Religion; in 192) the School of Nursing was added; and the Graduate School in 1935.

At different times the Schools of the Uni­versity have been rather widely scattered over the city of Nashville. For many years the &hools of Medicine and Law were in the business section, but since 1925 all the Schools of the University have been con­solidated within the area of the original campus.

Description

I N SPIRlT, Vanderbilt resembles the tradi­tional American (ollege. Its central pur­

pose is the cultural developm""t of young men and women,

In form, Vanderbilt is a small, compact institution. At the heart is the College of Arts and Science, around which are grouped live professional schools. The total enroll­ment is 1,800, of which half is in the aca­demic college.

The University buildings are centered on a campus of seventy-six acres in Nashville, the political and industrial capital of Ten­nessee. Through the elms and maples ORe sees the spires and turrets of those massive buildings which owe their appearance to the architectural ideas of the Seventies. But among the twenty-four buildings on the main campus are five belonging to the new order. These buildings of modi6ed Gothic, embody­ing both beauty and utility, are the Neely Auditorium, the Alumni Memorial Hall, Me­Tyeire Hall, and the magnificent medical school group.

8, ANNE BLAIR, TenneJJet B

In more than sixty years since its founda­tion, Vanderbilt University has had but three Chancellors. Landon C. Garland was the lirst ; he was succeeded in 1893 by James H. Kirkland . In 1937, upon the retirement of Chancellor Kirkland, Oliver C. Carmichael became the third Chancellor of the Univer-sity. .

Addition of buildings and funds to the University pr0r,rty was very slow for the first quarter 0 a century, but since then it has been more rapid. Through the coopera· tion of Vanderbilt University, George Pea­body College, and Scarritt College a jOint library is now under construction and will be completed in 1941. A $9,000,000 pro­gram of expansion was adopted in 1939 and will lead to the improvement of every divi­sion of the University.

Vanderbilt is distinguished, not by wealth or size, but by schools that are thorough in their work. The schools of Law, Religion, and Engineering are members of the national educational bodies in their respect ive fields, and all are recognized as being of the highest standing.

Limited enrollment makes careful selection and supervision of students possible. Under­classmen have the same teachers as upper­classmen. Equally thorough teaching is pro­vided throughout the four years. The cu r­riculum is limited on the theory that a high standard of excellence in everything that is undertaken is preferable to variety or novelty of courses. The degrees conferred mean what they purport to mean.

Vanderbilt is a national university in the truest sense. It has no sectarian spirit, no class spirit, no sectional spirit. The University is religious in its attitude, but it pleads for no sect or creed. It caters to no class, rich or poor. It gives preference to students of no section, though most come from the South.

Wisconsin Gamma Goes Forth

T H E EIGHTI'·THIRD chapter of n B 4> has become a reality. With the installa·

tion of Wisconsin r on the campus of Law· renee College, September 12, 1940, the fraternity, the alumnz, the college, and twenty. four initiates attained the goal which they had set for themselves just a year before.

Thirteen carefully selected girls organized on September I~, 1939, for the express puc· pose of petitioning for membership in n B 4> and they pledged their love and loyalty to this cause. They pledged seventeen girls to n 4> r who were willing to work and hope for the honor that would be theirs with in· stallation into Il B 4>. With the assistance of the newly organized Fox River Valley Alum· n", Club and Mary Jane Hill, Missouri A, the group rose to an enviable position on the campus in one year, encouraged by the ad­ministration and faculty, admired and re­spected by students and other fraternities.

When convention voted on July 4 to es­tablish chapters at Lawrence College and Vanderbilt University, members of the Law· renee group were holding a reunion in Chi· cago. From that day until September 12, actives and alumna! worked toward the com­plete fulfillment of their dream.

On that memorable Thursday morning Amy B. Onken, Grand President, pledged twenty.four to Il B 4> before Miriam E. Williams, Eta Province President; Mrs. Me­Clyment, Province Vice-President; Mary I.ou Agur and Marcy Haeger, Wisconsin B; and Claire TiefenthaJec, Wisconsin A, chap­ter delegates; and over twenty alumn.r. An informal luncheon preceded the initiation ceremony.

Twenty-four new members of n B <I> reo

cdved their golden arrows that afternoon during a ceremony which thrilled everyone present with its depth of feeling, sincerity, a.nd inspiration for a rising chapter of the fraternity.

New initiates were honored at a formal banquet held that evening at the Riverview Country Club. The arrow was the back· ground and the theme of the program. Miss Onken talked about ''The Point," Mary Jane Hill "The Shaft," Miss Williams '·The Wings," and 'The Chain" was the Province Vice·President's topic. Mrs. Leslie H . Ross, president of the alumn., club, served as toastmistress. Tdegrams and gifts from chap. ters and alurnru:e clubs were displayed at the banquet, and each initiate received a gift.

Friday morning a meeting was heJd in the rooms which the girls furnished last year. At noon a cooky.shine was held at the home of Mrs. Francis F. Wheeler, local chai rman of installation and a member of the AdviSOry Board. During the afternoon three hundred persons, professors, fraternity members, and townspeople were guests at a formal tea at the RIverview Country Club.

With Miss Onken's words fresh in their minds and the inspiration of initiation fresh in their hearts, fourteen active members of n B <I> set out to show Lawrence College the standards and ideals for which the fraternity stands. They are working under conditions which are ideal for fraternity growth and development. The college has a high scholas· tic rating and attracts a fine type of student. The administration recognizes the advantages of fraternity life and encourages their ex· pression.

ously to the cause of education in America both in the East and at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, before he pro­cured land in Wisconsin and planned for the development of higher education there before the territory had attained statehood. In 1847 the original charter was granted for the Lawrence Inst itute of Wisconsin. Since stu­dents had no preparatory education, Law­rence established a University with an academy in 1849 . With the development of public school systems, the academy was dis­continued in 1908 and the charter name became Lawrence College. In 1929 a gradu­ate school, the Institute of Paper Chemistry, was organized to train workers in the field of paper chemistry and technology_The conservatory at Lawrence has received na­tion-wide recognition.

The coUege encourages students who wish to work their way through college by a large number of scholarships and prizes and by providing all types of work on the cam­pus_

The buildings on the Lawrence campus look out over the Fox River from their high and beautifully wooded northern bank. Main Hall , the Chapel, Girl, Gym, Science Hall , the Library, Observatory, President's home, and the three dormitories are close to the business district of Appleton and to its chu rches and social centers. The new Alex­ander Gymnasium and the Institute of Paper Chemistry are located near Whiting Field on the South side of the river. The six women's national fraternities occupy rooms in the Panhellenic House and the five men's national fraternities are to move this winter into the pride of the campus, the new f ra­ternity quadrangle.

As it moves forward and upward Law· renee College will be an excellent back­ground for the growth and development of the fraternity.

These picnics were held for years at the Parks' home with Adele Egbers Parks and Oara Dell Parks as hostesses. Mrs. Parks died two years ago and Clara Dell was mar· ried this summer and lives in the east, so the club was used this year. The Mt. Pleasant Pi Beta Phis were the hostesses this year, with guests present from Monmouth, Car­thage, Quincy, and Burlington, Illinois, and Keokuk, Iowa, numbering sixty seven in all.

With Stokowski

T wo MEMBERS of n B <I> were fortunate enough to be chosen this summer by

Leopold Stokowski to become members of his All American Youth Orchestra, which made a good-will tour of South America. There were twenty girls in the 100 piece orchestra, and Martha M cCrory, Michigan B, and Lynn Wainwright, Louisiana B, were

/lfar/hlt McCro,y, Michigan B

the only college social sorority girls to be included.

Over 16,000 musicians under 25 years of age throughout the Uni ted States tried out for the opportunity to play under the great maestro. When the number had been reduced to 500, Stokowski himself made the final selection. The majority of those chosen were members of professional organjzations al­though they were within the age limit.

They assembled in Atlantic City early in July for two weeks of intensive rehearsa l. Then concerts were given in Atlantic City. Baltimore, Washington aDd New York.

Third Time Chrunpions!

Critics and music lovers were amazed at the perfection of the organization after such a brief period of preparation.

On July 26, they sailed on the SS Urugllay from New York. Concerts were given in Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Montevideo. Trini­dad, Dominican Republic, and at many other places. Everywhere the young musicians from

Lynn Wainwright, Louisiana B

the United States were greeted with amazing enthusiasm. After the delightful and success­ful journey, the group reached New York on September 17. Concerts then were given at Camellie Hall, New York, in Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia. Again critics were lavish with praise and called the organ· ization one of the major orchestras of all times. Stokowski is being urged to reassemble the group next summer. -

As soon as she was released from the or­chestra, Martha McCrory returned to the University of Michigan for her senior year. She is treasurer of the Michigan B chapter.

Betty Jameson, Texas A, has woo the National Women's Golf Championship for the third time. Pat Laursen, Florida r, was again the winner of the National Skeet Matches, al50 for the third time. An interesting article about hec appeared in the Ameri­can for November. And there we have a record that will be hard to beat!

deck. Although there were five of us in our cabin, not one of us knew what boat we were supposed to be in. Hence we chose the nicest boat we could find- a lovely motor launch with a radio-and stood around it, actually laughing and talking and enjoying ourselves.

Finally the order came to man the boats. WeB, yes, that did sound more serious, but most of us st ill weren't particularly worried. My greatest difficulty was that I was hungry and that 1 was COld- having fo rgotten to put on anything but a short jacket over my pajamas.

As a matter of fact, though, I was not the only one who had forg.xten such things. Some people were up without shoes on . Others had on bathrobes. Still others had on skirts over their pajamas. which hung below, sort of Chinese fashion . We all looked like the man dressed in a barrel with OUf

life-belts on. The announcements that we were running

away from a submarine stopped us for a few minutes. Then we all became curious to see the submarine- started looking around. And as we looked around the sun seemed to be zig-zagging back and forth in the sky, the light being the signaillashes. With the word submarine two or three cameras sprang out and groups of people started smiling at the birdy. 1"11 never get over my regret at not getting a picture of us all in those horrible lifebelts.

But how was I to know it was anything but a dnll? At 6:30 or SO the sun stopped moving back and forth and put itself back where it

should be, and we were allowed to go down­stairs.

There are strange stories of what peopJe took down to the alert. One fellow took his violin- not a valuable one, but the first thing he put his hand one. Someone else wandered in with a typewriter.

Ever since the submarine episode there have been two people who come up to the lounge every night about midnight, clutching their life-belts in one hand and their valu­ables in the other, arrange themselves on a couple of sofas, and spend the night.

But the submarine scare was only the beginning. We landed in Galway, or rather, anchored about two miles out, and a young man in the purser's office fell off the launch going into Galway and drowned.

The final blow came when we heard over the radio about the Germans walking into Paris. A year ago that would have meant to me nothing more or less than a tragedy to be talked about, wondered at, and almost forgotten.

Now, the German occupation of Paris is like the death of a beloved friend. It is even more than that, for a beloved friend is only a part of a {'erson's life, perhaps for many years, but st,lI only a part of ,t. Paris has been my whole life for nearly eight months­and it was perh aps the happiest eight months of my life. I could not that day and I still cannot imagine the Germans marching up the Champs-Elysees, the Boulevard St. Ger­main, along the quais, in the T uileries gar. dens--discovering all the haunts that were mine. I cannot imagine them sitting in the Cafe de Flore and ordering scrambled eggs and a cafe creme from Pascal.

1"11 bet Pascal won't learn to say scrambled eggs and coffee with cream in German as quickly as he learned to say them in English. But maybe the Flore is closed, anyway, and Pascal is no longer there.

Fortunately o r unfortunately, t~re are innumerable people on board the WaJhinc-10 11 who spent the last year or two in Pans.

We didn't eat much that day. We laughed a lot to keep from crying. And we stayed up until nearly 3 o'clock that night talking about old times in Paris, speculating about the friends we knew who mayor may not have been in Paris when the Germans walked in,

and trying to decide what route the Germans had taken as they marched to the Arc de Triomphe. Some of our friends, we decided, must have stayed, for they were in charge of various newspaper offices. Others probably had to stay for other reasons. We wondered, too, about our little hotel , where the Polish government had been-and about the Hotel Continental, where the central offices of the ministry of propaganda are. I hope the Ger­mans were as lost in it as I always was!

We are to dock in New York tomorrow. Everyone is glad in a way and sad in a way. We are glad, because the boat trip has been uncomfortable. We are carrying almost two thousand passengers when we have accom­modations for only half that many. We have had water only a few hours a day- have to get dirty and wash our faces on schedule. OUf cabin is so crowded that only two of us can get dressed at a time. We have con­sidered putting up onc way traffic signs and red and green lights.

And there have been shortages of various things- not particularly important things, to be sure, but nevertheless thmgs that we miss since we can't have them. Of course, on the whole, life on the boat is luxurious in com·

parison with the life we led in France­meat on the menu every day, a shower every morning, pies and ice creams whenever we want them, American cigarettes, and dean napkins for every meal.

Men who have been in business in Europe or for some other reason have been living there for years are returning to America to begin life anew. They are bringing not only their families and household goods, but their pets. One of our favorite spots on the boat is the upper deck w here dogs and cats are kept and where owners are allowed to exer· cise their pets. With children, dogs, and cats we are inaeed a family ship.

Now our voyage is nearly over. While we have been on the boat, world.shaking events have occurred. One of the greatest countries in the world has capitulated to another great country. Governments have changed. Nations have taken sides in the struggle for world power. And our own United States has been making decisions which will affect the lives of each and everyone of us. We have been like an island village, with our little interests and needs. But now we shall enter again into the life of our nation, as citizens of the greatest nation of the modern world.

Perhaps you missed the page of statistics as to the present size of the fraternity in the Septtmber ARROW, so we repeat here a few facts about the ARROW. The mailing list for thiS issue is something over 28,000, a figure that is increased by about 1,200 new sub­scribers with each passing year as the new initiates come in ; for the printing of each issue we use more than a carload of paper; the making of the magazine from copy.mailing by the Editor to mailing time requires a period of six weeks; ten days of that time is required to run the issue through the great presses at the George Banta Publishing Company. Is it a matter for wonder that we beg for promptness in meeting the deadlines given in the calendar-and by the way, if you are in doubt as to when your particular type of material is due, look for the date which says "Chapter corresponding secretaries prepare and send letters to reach Chapter Letter Editor by --. That date is the deadline.

One of the most interesting adventures of my swnmer, was making the acquaintance of Wiley Oakley's book just published­Roamin' W ilh the Roamin' Man of the Smoky Mountaim. It is a /ine thing to know Wi ley-but this book will transfer the color­ful character of its writer to all those who care to buy and read its quaint philosophy.

The following are a few outstanding quo­tations from its pages:

"Nature is one of the studies in the Great Smoky Mountains that every pursen should know something about. Old Mother Nature can't be beat in these mountains. She is a wonderful study. So ] advise every pursen who reads this little book just take time to stroll out on some of these beautuful trails and every now and then take a look and lissen and take a deep breath and look things over. It don't make any different how young or old you may be, j us go at a slow pace and try to forget about time or other worry. Time and money don't mean any· thing. Most of the mountain people thinks about the same thing about thiS rushing business."

THE SHEEP EYE

would cast them back with a nice smi le. This meant it was O,K. you could go home with them or to church. But if the girl give you a sour look with plenty frowns in her face this meant you had better call your dogs and go home for the fox race was alI over. You would hafto try again some other day.

SHOT AT THE SCREAM

"But still let me take you back to scratch britches Mts. I lived for 4 years. At nights I could walk to the cabin door just at dark and gau up into the skys sometimes for the big dipper and the north star and the north star was my guide at night and I watched the other stars to count the time of night it might be and when I counted the space between the Earth and the star I picked out to count time I measured the space with my hand holding it just as far as I could reach. My hand would make an hour looking over my hand not counting my thumb. Just over the 4 fingers. And in the same way I could tell about the sun in the day time. If I wanted to know just what time a day it was I would meassure from Earth to the Sun and this would work like a clock. And while standing at the cabin door at the foot of scratch britches I could hear the different crys of the old born Owl and other nightbirds and when there was going to be a change in the weather the old Wizard owl would come around and scream and hoot and laugh and make all kinds of rackets and then I new to get ready there was a storm on the way of some kind.

.. Still in my boyhood days as I grew up my older brothers married off one by one and a sister so I began to think it is time for me to look out for a girl and get married. I would go around where the mountain people would be making sorgum molaseys in the autem time and at night they would take off the box and the hot furnice would be full of fire we would have a candy pulling and this was lots of fun for the young people. The boys would pull candy with the girls and AND THERE NESTES IS HIGH UP

Gllild Players Gllests of K110xville Mayor Mr. Allen, Mayor of Knoxville, invited

the cast of the Weaver's play, the members of the school staff and the dormitory students to atteod the fair in Knoxville as his guests. The cast went in a chartered bus and spent the evening. The students went another day in the truck with two of the teachers and Mr. King as chaperons. All reported a good time and only one got lost.

Flower Show Gets Big Hand This year's flower show was pronounced by

the judges (who were expert Bower growers from the Knoxville Club) a far better show than the Knoxville one. The gymnasium and both the laboratories were filled with the display. Mrs. Voorheis' unique feature for the stage was g reatly admired. It was a little farm house surrounded with lovely scenery made with flowers and shrubs from the Voor­heis' place. It is amazing where aU these Bowers, plants. and vines spring from, but the native folk have become so interested in the raising of flowers for exhibition that they feel no hesitancy any more in bringing their best specimens. Mary L. Owenby's wild flower display, as usual, took first prize.

Nalional COllferellee of Handaafters Many groups were represented at the Pen­

land conference of handcrafters. Among them being: the New Hampshire League of

Arts and Crafts, John C. Campbell Folk School, Berea College, U. S. Agricultural Extension Service. Twenty three states alto­gether were represented, the topics of chief interest being the marketing of handcraft products, standards of works, and !alanning publicity for crafts. The last three ays were devoted to individual craft work. Speakers of interest were Eugene Deutch, Hungarian, a ceramist from Olicago, and Christine Van Hall, Hollander, a weaver with the Farm Security Administration, Home Settlement project.

V ocational Agricultllre Enroll, Fifty

Fifty boys are enrolled in the vocational agriculture classes for this year. At the Sevier County Fair, the Pi Phi Jersey herd made a good showing, bringing home three nrsts, one second and two third prizes-and the Grand Champion Heifer of the Jersey Show. The boys were happy to be superior F.F.A. of the county and on their personal exhibits, they won a total of $32.00 in prizes. The F.F.A. shop exhibits were also entered in the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial Fair at Knoxville, where there was great competition, but they won some second and third ribbons.

Arrolu Craft Sweeps Kl10xville Fair

Arrow Craft took all the first prizes at the Knoxville Fair display for weaving. It was virtually a walk away- but the amount of money won is not yet known.

Gifts During September

Grateful acknowledgement is here made of gifts for the month as follows: books for the library, from Mrs. L. K. Malvern of Elgin, Illinois; a lovely big Bag from Mrs. Davis of Gatlinburg and $5 .00 toward new curtains for the stage from the Weaver's Guild.

WORKING WITH WORDS lorine Pruette's new book, W orkil1g with

WordJ, is small enough to tuck into your handbag and has a little more than two hun· dred lages. Yet into this book, she has packe as much advice and information as some authors would spread over two vol­umes. Her theme is how to choose words carefully, use them effectively and employ them economically. Her book is proof that she practices what she preaches.

Part one deals with the use and abuse of

If he continues, the reader must be willing to have his own abuse of words placed fore· ibly before him. First, he must inquire into his reading habits, for this is an indication of his ability to use words. "'How much do you read in a week? Do you read well? ... When you have closed the book, do you go on feeling what you have been reading? Do you go on hearing the words ?"

The sources of words in the English and American English languages, their impor­tance in shaping historical and current events, the relationship of words and jobs are dis· cussed at length. But what is more important, Miss Pruette makes words fascinating in themselves. She compels the reader to realize that words are willing servants. his only for the asking, yet so often neglected and abused.

Alw:nrue may have a painful memory or two when they read the author's comments on the grunt-like sound of IIh. "' I remember still the misery of the students in the graduat. ing class where the professor used this IIh sound several times in every sentence. In the beginning, uh, we have to, uh, consider the possibly of uh, etc. ... Then, too, there is the lecturer who is afflicted with long pauses, so that the class squi rms and fidgets and wants to sing out the word he is obviously seeking. Most lecturing should be abolished in coHege teaching, and if it must be con· tinued a great many professors need to go to school to learn how to lecture more agree· ably and mOre effectively."'

In her own inimitable way, Miss Pruette ~ives us her brief autobiography. " I majored in chem­Istry, for some strange reason, though English and writing were always my chief interests.

WHAT THE ReVIEWERS SAY: One of the most useful sections of the book is the one on Talking and Thinking, which has enouJ;h straight sense to deflate a flock of windbags , One of its best fea­tures is that throu,Rhout it uses " ords in the way it would inspire others to use them, This, and the earnestness of the style carry thought to anyone at all impressionable.- MAY LAMBERTON BECKER in the N. Y. Herald Tribune, Books.

" Miss Pruette's present volume, while it should prove of great practical help for those intending to take up advertising, journalism, radio or public relations work, to name only a few of the voca· tions in which a fine sense of the value of words is a distinct asset, is "ery decidedly a book to in­terest the general reader,"-The Harl!ord Courant.

PARTY PLANS If you don't know anyone for whom to

give a party, you will rush right out and find someone after you have seen the Blanche Wheeler Party Books. We say "see" for the gay and amusing pen.and-ink sketches of Ellen aark, illinoIS lI, contribute greatly to the books. It is unusual to find such deftly drawn illustrations done by one who is not a professional but does it "just for the fun of it." Mrs. Clark's sketches not only decorate the bright red and green covers of Parly Plans for Showers and Porly Plans for Chil­dren but sprinkle themselves generously throughout the pages.

The plans themselves will be a delight to any hostess. Mrs. Wheeler has made them so complete with invitations, gift suggestions, novel ways to present gifts, games, materials

needed, menus, shopping lists and recipes, that the hostess has little more to do than sit back and enjoy herself along with her guests.

Do you remembec how bored you got with having to play "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" at every children's party you attended? Mothers who use the Porly Plans for Chil­dren will never have to subject their off­spring to such unimaginative games, Take the Pirate Party for instance. Young guests receive an ominous-looking invitation written on brown paper, burned at the edges, sealed with red wax. When they arrive, they see a large skull and crossbones on the door in­scribed with "don't Ring. Rap Seven Times. Wait for the Signal to Enter." Pirate cos­tumes and pirate names are ingeniously pro·

vided on the spot. Games such as kidnapping the crew, treasure hunt, boarding the plCate ship, keep the youngsters hilariously enter­tained until the "Ioot 'n booty" favors and pirates' fare make their appearance.

The books are so attractive in themselves with Mrs. Clark's amusing illustrations and the gay (overs and the plastic binding, that a set of them would make an appropriate gift

for one who "has everything" (that is, if you can bear to part with them yourself) .

THE A UTHOR: Mrs. Clark's letters are as amus· ing as her sketches . Supposing we quote one of them in part: "The books were done just for fun.

VIRGINIA'S WAR We are indebted to Cay S. Langhorne,

louisiana A. for the following review' of Virginia's War by Lily Logan Morrill, Loui­siana A.

Lily Logan Morrill, author of Virginia's War, and My Confederale Girlhood, has written an intensely interesting biography of her father, the late General Thomas Mul­drup Logan, who was not only the youngest Brigadier General in the war between the

lily LoRan Morrill

States, but one of the most brilliant. General Logan, who was born in Charleston, South Carolina, November, 1840, entered the Con­federate Army at the age of 20 and served from Sumter to Appomattox. Serving in the army of Northern Virginia, he remained in that State, and after the war married Kate Virginia Cox, daughter of Judge James H. Cox of Chesterfield County, Virginia, a prominent figure in Virginia l?"litics.

In this 225 page biographte record, Mrs. Morrill has presented the first full-length documented biography of General Logan against the tumultuous background of war days and the 'Tragic Era" afterwards. The author has given not only General Logan's military achievements and honors, but has succeeded in recreating his magnificent char­acter and philosophy which made him one of the most Important and vital ligures during

the war, and later in the pitiful days of Reconstruction. His philosophy embraced, as the author has so aptly phrased it, "not the bravery of callousness, but the Spartan ac­ceptance of reality." After the war, armed with wisdom and foresight, General Logan, denouncing sectional prejudices and vain lamentations over the past as absolutely un­constructive folly, worked wholeheartedly and unceasingly for Nationa1ization and Ed­ucation-for a North and South united by a common destiny. He was an ardent de­fender and promoter of the education of the Negro. He says, "All the arguments usually advanced in favor of public instruc­tion apply with greater force to the Negro. And thus every consideration of the subject leads to the conclusion that the future wel­fare and prosperity of the South demand the education of the freedman by public school instruction. "

Besides being one of the major leaders in the rehabilitation of the defeated States, General Logan was one of the early and prominent railroad builders in the South. Mrs. Morrill states in her preface to A Bllilder of the New South": "Before the seventies he was president of the Port Walt­hall Branch of the Richmond and Petersburg railroad and soon after that he was counsel for the Richmond and Danville." Then, she continues, "In 1883 he was shoved off the railroad map by wily men in Wall Street." However, undaunted by this misfortune. a few years later, by what was termed a "master stroke," he obtained control of this same road "with greatly increased mileage, which meant increased usefulness to the South."

The tempo of this volume is fairly in­formal in tone, which makes it all the more delightful. The reader is treated to pleasing glimpses of intimate family life both in General Logan's household in Richmond, and on their farm "Algoma" near Howards­ville, Virginia. We are privileged to know General Logan, not only as an outstanding public figure, but as a husband and father. Many amusing and interesting anecdotes of the Logan family and their friends contribute charming bits to these memoirs.

A Builder of the New South has a particular significance and interest today, when once again terrific problems confront a troubled, tom world, and men of courage, vision and action are sorely needed to guide

She is the author of Virginia's W ar, My Confederate Ghlhood and numerous magazine a rticles in Country li fe, Home and Gardens 0/ T omorrow, Town and Country, The Christiall Science ;\(011;10', Home and Garden Review, etc.

She received her B.A. degree with di s tinction from Newcomb College and her M.A. f rom Colum. bia University,

Mrs. Morrill be~an her writing careee at an early date . While still in college, she wrote ex­tensively for the Tulane Col/el,ian and 'Was sole woman representative on the Editorial Board of the Annual. Her stories have appeared in the Amerj. can Sh orl Slory Anlholon for both 1933 and 1934. Two of her plays have been produced ; one at the

Little Playhouse in Cincinnati and another at the University of Virginia.

She is a charter member and has served in al­most every capacity for the Three Arts Club of Cincinnati. In 19 17 she served as president and was honorary chairman of all committees.

Mrs. Morrill is the wife of Albert H . Morrill, president of a large food concern in Cincinnati. Their home nea r Cincinnati is ca ll ed "Spooky Hollow Farm" and their summer home at Keene, Virginia, is the historic "Enniscorthy ." The Ma r­riJl's Virginia home was selected as the most fitting place fo r the entertainment of the Honorable de Martino, the Italian Ambassador and his staff, when thev visited thi s country in 1927 to unvei l the Columbus statue in Richmond. "Enniscorthy" has been spoken of :15 a "magnificent estate, which remains a center of old- fashioned Virginia hos­pitality. and is especiall y noted for the entertain · ments given by Mrs. Morrill during the hunting season of the autumn."

THE GASPE COAST IN FOCUS The Ga1pe Coast ill F OCUl is a welcome

escape from the disheartening war n ews of these days. Doris Montgomery, New York ~, the author, and Mary Van Nest, who did the photographs, transport one out of these troubled times to a 9uiet and peaceful land where "the complexities of modem living seem to resolve themselves into nothing of any moment. When is high tide ? What is the di rection of the wind? Will it blow in a bank of fog from the ocean ... . Yes, this is the Gaspe Coast and under its influence we become as elemental as the Coast's own peo­ple. Beauty of sky and clouds and trees, color of water and rocks, the tilt of a fisherman 's sail cutting the blue of sky and sea, grace in bird and beast and man, these things absorb our thoughts. The primitiveness of Coast life, which is after all only a stripping of life to its essentials, seems entirely natural."

Miss Montgomery and Miss Van Nest enjoy a unique relationship. There's is not one of author and illustrator. Rather ace they co-authors, for the photographs play an im­portant part in telling the story of the Gaspe Coast. The pictures are works of art, lovely enough to frame. Particularly beautiful is the one entit led "Gaspe Flock" with its rustic fence, rolling hill ana the dark, storm -swept sky contrasting with the white sheep in the foreground .

It is more what the authors did 1101 record rather than what they did that sets this book apart from others. You know little about the authors, how and from where they traveled; rather do they make you come with them to inspect the tiny fiShing fleet, feel

the briny spray against your face, see the bright colors of the hulls, smell the fresh wood of a carpenter repairing a boat. Or perhaps you go down a winding road, lined with wild Bowers, to gaze upon the rainbow colors with which nature has painted the landscape. You stop to drink in the beauty of a field of white daisies flecked with gold, or pause to look at the pale pink columbine growing wild in a cemetery of tiny granite crosses.

The Gaspe Coast in F OCII1 is about travel but it is no travelogue ; it is written in prose yet it possesses a poetic 9uality. It is just the book to take aown from your library shelf when you are weary of war news and question whether the world has lost its sanity and sense of values. A few minutes looking at Miss Van Nest's exquisite photographs or an hour spent reading Miss Montgomery's lyric text, will reassure you that there is some spot left in this hectic world where tension and hysteria have not penetrated,

THE AUTHOR: Doris Montgomery attended Simmons Collee:e and Cornell University and from the latter received her Arts and Law degrees. As an under$:raduate, she participated in Cornell's ac­ti ve debatin~ dub and in her senior year was Women's Editor of the Cornell Annua l.

THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX The very words " Income Tax" bring forth

moans and groans from many of us. March 14 is the day we waste mounds of paper adding, subtracting, multiplying and divid· ing, until we give it up as a bad job, and violently resent the fact that we have to make a return anyway.

All of which is indicative of the need to know more about the history, significance, and necessity of the Income Tax Laws. To furnish the layman as well as Congressmen, government and judiciary departments, etc., a detailed study of these laws, is the purpose of The Federal Income Tax by the bril· liant n B 4> and her illustrious husband, Roy G . and Gladys D. Blakey, Illinois /l. The volwne is a thick one and explains in its subtitle that it discusses federal income tax "Legislation, Administration and Adjudica­tion Through the Years and Today."

The authors' long experience. years of study and the fact that they have discussed in· dividually or jointly, in the American Eco­nomic Review, every federal income tax statute since the Sixteenth Amendment make them well fitted for the task. In addi· tion, they enjoy a friendship with the Secre· tary of State, Cordell Hull, who has shown a keen interest in the Blakeys' work, and has read most of the manuscript and pencilled notations frequently.

"This book presents the income tax as it is today with enlightening explanations of the important develot>ments in income tax legislation and administration from 1861 to the present," reads the publishers' statement. " In the light of pertinent economic and po. litical backgrounds in the various periods, it shows the reason for changes made in the tax from time to time.

"In addition, the income tax is shown in the setting of the fiscal and economic systems of which it is a part. Numerous tables and charts show the tax rates and exemptions for individuals and corporations under earlier acts as well as under the present law. Other tables show the treatment of capital gains and losses under past and present laws ; still others show the treatment of evasion or avoidance by incorporation or failure to dis­tribute earnings, etc. The liberal citation of sources, extensive bibliography and index add much to the usefulness of this unique volume."

TH H AUTHORS: Both Mrs. Blakey and her hus-

ba.nd have attained national recognition as authori ­ties in the income tax field . Mrs . Blakey is assistant editor of T axaJion in /lfinneJota and her hus­band, a professor at the UOIversity of Minnesota. is a fellow of the Royal Economic Society and the Royal Histo rical Society. Both authors have ~rved in Ihe Unitw .!'tates Treas ury .

Gladys Blakey served a year as treasurer of Illinois 6, while at Knox College, and was a mem~r of L.M.l ., woman 's literary society. She spent her fourth year at Vassar. After Vassar she spent two years teaching in Galesburg High School and then wen( to the University of Minnesota to get her M .A . in history. ··At one of the faculty dance'S which I attended as a guest of one of the History faculty, 1 met a young instructor in econ· omics and after many deli~htfu l ~ames of ~olf we became engaged," she writes. '·1 persuaded two of my Pi Phi history pals to apply for scholarships at M innesota and the result was that the history de­partment had 2reat fun about our raid on the youn~ instructors . Alice Felt married Prof. Mason Tyler (Alice·s book on European history, by the way, was published last year and was adopted at Prince­ton, Amherst and other places). Marjorie Carr married an instructor in economics, Robert McFall . Their dau~hter, Alice, was initiated into II B 41 at Cornell and she gave me very valuable assist· ance in checkin~ references in our manuscript at the Library of Congress.

When the Blakeys were called to Washington during the World War, Gladys joined the staff of the Bureau of Interna l Revenue as auditor in the income tax unit. They spent two years in Wash· ington where Prof. Blakev had charge of economic research in the Department of Commerce, while his wife had a desk in the Library of Congress, which no t onlv offered her the oppoctu.Oity of using the valuable material there but gave her an opportunity of meeting many interesting people.

Commentin~ upon her stay in the nation's capi ­tal, she writes "while in Washington we had the privilege ot knowing many important govern­ment officials and were invited to some of the

diplomatic affairs. Our friendship with Secretary Cordell Hull is one of the most valued by· products o f the book. We prize an autographed photograph o f him,"

After they returned to Minnesota in 1919, she spent several years doing social service work. but since 1935 she h as devoted most of her time to writing on the F edera l Income T ax.

This winter she is giving a course of lectures on financing government at the W oman's Club, but she considers her most important civic work i s in the Ua-,\:ue o f W omen Voters. For years sh e has edited the state paper, the Voter, and has always taken a very active part in the Minneapoli s Lea~ue.

Mrs. Blakey has two Pi Phi sisters: Helen Camp. bell , lIIinois 6. and Marian Campbell Po ll ard, IIli . nois A.

She lists as her hobbies: broiling a thick, juicy

steak at some picnic spot in the summer; cutting circles and curves on figure skates in the winter; swimming in lakes or indoor poo ls at all seasons. Which goes to prove that this Pi Beta Phi knows how to mix serious research on income tax laws with "jus t plain livin'."

WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY: "Prof . and Mrs. Blakey have written an historical study of the in· come tax which probably will become the stand­ard authority on the subject and which belongs in the library of any person with any pretense what­soever of an active or studious interest in rublic affairs."-Herbert Lefkovitz in the 51.

A MANUAL OF ELEMENTARY DESIGN AND COLOR A certain II B ~ husband, who is an ar­

tist, has long been allergic to text books on art. Few ever meet his approval and even fewer his praise. Without revealing that Ruth M. Doolittle, Oregon B, author of A Manila! of Elementary Design and C% r, w·as a n B <1>, we asked him to read it and give us his opinion . He had been laying in a color on one of his pictures and was re-

RJllh M . D oolillJe

luctant to interrupt his work. Rather skep­tically he opened the book but soon became engrossed.

" This is an excellent 'down·to·earth' text-

book," he said after a little while. "There is no vague discussions on Art and Beauty, spelt with capitals, to bewilder the student. And here is a point more art books should st ress-the fact that budding young artists must keep in mind the emphasis on good de­sign in our civilization and the growing fields for the designer. Even the humblest utilitarian object gains in beauty if it is planned according to the fundamentals of good design," he explained . ··Indust ry has at last realized that it means good business to offer weU.designed wares. This point and its relation to young artists has been em· phasized by the author:·

Paint and brush were forgotten as he read Miss Doolittle's book from cover to cover. "I like this book," he said finally because it leads the student from the simplest design to the more complex arrangement of forms in a given space, and it proves that it is possible to offer an elementary yet comprehensive de­sign course within the covers of a single volume."

"Another thing that appeals to me is the make-up of the book. Its large size, spiral binding and the use of tyr.riter type repre· sents a workman·like attitude. The very ar· rangement of the illustrations invites the stu· dent to get out his tools and follow her on the road to good design in form and color."

And this reminded him of his own brush and paint. He went back to work not in the least disturbed that he had been inveigled into reviewing a book for the ARROW.

A PI PHI POET Although the work of Emily Lou Linsley,

Ohio r , has not been commented upon in this department since 1936, her typewriter has been kept busy during the past four years.

In 1936 Mrs. Linsley wrote a delightful children's book of verse entitled Singing Leavel. Following its publication. she turned to writing poems for adults and the result is that many have found their way into im­portant anthologies. One poem is included in Contemporary American Poetl of 1929; two in Pa.bar Anlhology of VerJe, 1937 and three in The Yearbok of Modern Poetry of 1939.

One of the poems included in the latter collection is SO timely that we quote it here:

AIRPLANE WINGS

THE AUTHOR: Emily Lou Linsley attended the University of Wooster and Western R~rve Uni­versity, from which sh~ graduated.

She has been writing {or over seventeen years. Most of her earlier poems, stories, and articles have been pub li shed in children'S magazines. In 1936 Si"ging uavtJ, It co llection of verse for very youn,R: children was published by the Fleming H . Revell Company. A review of this appeared in the November, 1936 ARROW.

WALKING ON GOLD Phyllis Crawford, Virginia A, was so en·

couraged by receiving the Julia Ellsworth Ford Foundation Award for her young pe0-ple's book, Hello, Ihe BOdl! that she has reo cently published another entitled Walking on Gold. Still a third, The Secret Brolher, is 10 be published in February.

In our opinion, young people will like IValking on Gold. It is the story of a boy·s adventures while he travelled from Arkansas to California in 1849 in search of gold.

Peck Woods is an orphan who lives in the little border town of Van Buren, Arkansas, with an aunt who just cannot understand boys. She didn't understand Peck's father when he was alive either, for the elder Woods was a goldseeker like the many men Peck watched daily in town, loading the wagons with supplies and departing on their long trek westward. Aunt Norah thought no

good could come out of the lot of them. But Peck was his father's son and he, with

his beloved mule, Ben, contrive to elude the aunt and start out to make the journey alone. Loneliness, hunger and danger drive him to seek permission to join the Arkansas Travel· ers and to risk the danger of being sent back home. After considerable argument, they ac· cept him.

But his way is not, thereafter, easy. There are Cherokees, Comanches, and Apaches to be dealt with, some of which were friendly and some otherwise. TIlere are broken wag· ons to be mended, treacherous streams to be forded, a burning desert to be crossed. On the other hand, difficulties are mingled with events to gladden any boy's heart, such as the friendship of Black Bea"er, an Indian guide; the companionship of the Scotchman, Tammas, whose funny little wheelbarrow

4

238 THE DECEMB ER ARROW

plays an important part in the most excit· ing adventure of the book; music and rough­housing around camp fires at night.

Peck finally reaches California but the lands are all claimed. He finally finds "gold" but it isn't the California gold he thought he wanted.

It is one thing for an adult to pass judg­ment on the merits of a book written for

Phyllis Crawford, VirRinia A

young people, and it's another thing to have it stand the test of being read by a young­ster himself. We asked a boy, age 14, who is an avid and critical reader to give us his opinion of Walking on Gold. This is what he had to say: "I thought it was a swell story. It's no little girl's tale but a real he· man book. I read it through without ever stopping once and when I came to the p,rt where Peck strikes bad luck in the desert I got awfully excited.

"[ liked ,II the details about the Indians and their customs but I wanted to see one big

fight with them. The pictures are good, too, but [ liked the map best in the front of the book. It was interesting to follow just where Peck was in different parts of the story.

''I'm glad the book didn't end with Peck finding gold in California. Everyone doesn't always know what's best for them. Like most boys, Peck had to be disappointed be· fore he found out what he should have.

"If you can loan me any more books by the same author, let me know. I'll be right over."

THE A UTHOR: Miss Crawford's biography ap­peared in the February, 1939 ARROW. We asked her how she went about writing her books and here is her answer:

"Writing isn't a sociable profession, and it reo quires either methodical habits or (onstant vigil­ance to make every day count. I' ve had lots of those lapses when noth in$t would prod the brain into aClion. It· s become a kind of game; I try to guess whether it's mental fati$tue that could be over· come by a fresh cup of tea or a brisk walk past a second·hand book store or antique shop, or real steri lity of a brain that can't stand too much ex­ercise, or just plain ornery laziness. I wish I could sit down at the typewriter with ::I. rose in my hair and a song on my lips, and dash olf a sho rt story or a chapter before breakfast, like William Saroyan and the Victo rians. H they're telling the truth about their method of work. J bow low. For me it's a long, hard, lonely, wearying task. My first drafts are so bad that J can hardly bring myself to set them down on paper, and I use longhand so that the shortcomings won't show up so plainly. But if I don't get the first draft down. I'll never have anything to revise. It wouldn't be so bad if I could whip it into shape in one revision.

Some writers build up when they revise a fi rst draft; that is. add meat to a skel eton structure. Others set down everything they can think of in the first draft, and then spend the rest of their time weedin$t out the tares-the excess words and unnecessary incidents . .My whole difficulty is that I have to do both at the same time. My story is always too thin to begin with. but how fancily put! I can't get over that grade-schoo l weakness for fine phrases, which only obscure the meaning.

Nevertheless, even my way, the hard way, is more fun than workin'l on a iob. I may groan, snarl, pace the floor, but just the same, it's worth it. There's no intoxication like finishing a book, and it lasts sometimes half a day. The book may not always be much good, but by thunder, it's your own and it's the very best you can do at your present stage of literacy.

MALICE DOMESTIC "One good turn deserves another" and so

is it with good mystery stories. Evelyn Jamie· son, Arizona A, writing under the name of Evelyn Cameron, has followed her highly successful mystery Dead Man' J ShoeJ with Malice DomeJt;c, to be published Decem­ber 1. Like her first book, the latest one is a

Crime Club Selection. We wish we might have reviewed on

THE AUTHOR: A short biography of Miss Jamie­son apptared in the February 1940 ARROW. The outstanding bit of news since that time is the phenomenal success of this n B 4'. In the short space of fifteen months, she has written and pub­lished two novels that have been acclaimed by critics throughout the country.

Aske,d for recent news of herself, Miss Jamie­son wntes:

"As for further biographical material, I don't know exactly what to add, My life has not in­cluded trips tround the Horn in catboats or dish. washing in oil town restaurants, which seem to be standard back~round for authors nowadays, J did. however, work for a couple of years as a stenographer, which included three months as a PBX operator. J have dabbled in Little Theatre work (backstage), but my present enthusiasms are bridR;e and dancing, with an occasional fling at making my own hats, I have four or nve more books started and a number of other things-short stories and articles-in various stages. My prin­cipal interest is in character portrayal."

CLOTHING If the textbook Clothing had been pub­

lished and in use when some of us took home economic courses in college, we would have been saved many a discouraging mo­ment after graduation. We were taught how wool was sheared and cotton woven and we made a few simple garments, but why the dress we had bought did not fit quite right and what we could do to make it so, how we should spend our clothing dollar and what points to look for in buying shoes were sub­jects hardly mentioned. After college, some of us struggled to make wrong clothes right, then discarded them as hopeless. It was only by many trials and errors that we finally se­cured the information and advice included in Clothing by Alpha Latzke and Beth Quin­lan, Kansas B.

The authors base all design upon a clear understanding of the elements of art in re­lation to line, form, color and texture. To them an individual's needs is the most im­portant factor in selecting clothing. Having established these two elements they discuss every possible phase of c1othing-dress de­sign, Etting a fabric, planning of clothes, spending for satisfaction. The authors must have had considerable experience in making, designing, and purchasing clothing for any­one who has had a similar experience will recognize that thei r book is not based. on theory alone.

Those of us who have rued the day we bought that off-shade coat or hat and then never were able to find anything to go with it, will appreciate the advice in the chapter on how the wardrobe should be planned. "Base the color scheme for the wararobe en­semble any given season on one dark or neu­tral color known to be becoming. selecting major purchases in this co lor," urge the authors. "Thus provision is made for satis­faction for the current season and for the carry-over of major garments."

Do college students from less aIIIuent families spend too much for their clothes? Here is the authors' answer. "The question is sometimes raised as to whether a college stu­dent is justified, in the face of sacrifices made by her family, in maintaining such a standard in dress as is common among students on the campus of an American College. It is ob­vious that some are overindulged or show too little concern for the welfare of others. This is to be regretted , yet it must be recog­nized that the student is almost forced by so­cial pressures to adapt herself to the stand­ards which are customary to the group with which she expects to associate,"

Pictures, charts, college and family budg­ets, numerous illustrations, are given. Any student who has studied this text carefully, will leave college fully equipped to answer the many questions on cloth 109 that Post-

lan's last book.

B ETH QUINLAN. Co-AUTHOR: The death of Beth Quinlan, in May. 1936, was a great loss to the Fraternity. the educationa l and literary worlds . The revised edition of Clothin1. is just as she and Miss Latzke wrote it, with the exception of the chapters on children's and men's clothing and a few minor details. The book is the result of Miss Quinlan's ten-year study with her college students at the Kansas State College, where she was an as­sociate professor.

Beth Quinlan received her B.S. from Kansas State College and her Master's degree from Columbia University and did graduate work at the University of Chicago. She was a member of Omi­ccon Nu, national home economics sorority. She was an instructor in William Woods College at Fulton, Missouri, and in Jamestown College at Jamestown, North Dakota. For the ten years pre· ceding her death, she was an associate professor in the department of clothing and textiles at the Kan· sas State College.

President F. O . Farre ll sa id of her, "She was one of the most popular instructors on the campus­efficient, cheerful, and inspiring. Her loss will be keenly felt."

THE GREEK LETTER Pi Beta Phi won top honors when The

Greek Leller, an anthology of Fraternity and Sorority Verse, was published recently. The Fraternity is represented by no less than 47 contributors which is the largest number from anyone Greek letter society. Delta Delta Delta is second with 43. Many con­tributors had more than one poem accepted, so the total number of poems by Pi Beta Phis is well over 50.

According to the publishers, "not all the poets represented in The Greek Leite,. are undergraduates . . . but a good percentage are young writers for the first time, and do­ing a good job of it, too . .. . First publica­tion is a gratifying thing, and leads the pub­lished poet on to greater worlds in poetry. We feel certain that many of the unknown poets in this volume will go on to enviable reputations, and we shall be able to point with pride that The Greek L eller was the first to publish them.

However, this hardly applies to some of the n B 4> contributors. For instance, Franch­en Hauser Williams has had over a hundred poems published; Jane Coffin has published in many newspapers and magazines, among them the New Y ork Tim" and Good H OIlIe­

keeping; Edith Crissey'S verse A Spring Salad won first rlace last year in the 15th district contest 0 the Illinois Federation of Women's Club.

The Greek letter affiliation of each con­tributor is mentioned only in the index. That is why, when you come across a par­ticularly fine bit of verse, you thrill to find the contributor listed under II B <1>.

Particularly noteworthy is Priscilla B. Hussey's Grand I.Iland, LouiJiana, a gay description of a summer day's adventures; or Mary Thurman Pyle's lovely bit of verse entitled Enlreal}; Alice Troxwel! McCoun's

exquisite Perception; Elinor Heron Gray's amusing RefleCliofJI~ and many others, too numerous to mention here.

True it is that some poems in the book would never have been published if this anthology were not compiled, for they do not represent the work of a poet fully rna· tured In the art of verse writing. But they do give promise of a talent that should be encouraged. On the other hand, a large number of them are excellent enough to find their way into periodicals whose standards are known to be high.

Even in view of the fact that II B <I> has the longest list of contributors to this book, the list of members of the Fraternity who have gained recognition in verse writing is by no means complete. It is difficult to es­timate, but we hazard a guess that there are at least 75 Pi Phis who have seen their verses in print more than once,

Members of our Fraternity whose verse was accepted in this volwne include : Bessie Emery Anderson, Illinois B ; Jessamine Arm­strong, Indiana r ; Bernice Baugh, JIIinois ~ ; Mary Cunningham Baur, Iowa r; Janice Cobb, N orth Carolina A ; Ruth Coleman, Pennsylvania r; Jane O 'Sullivan Coffin, Nevada A; Edith Christine Crissey, JIIinois B; Marion M. Cuthbertson, Missouri A; Merle Danford, Ohio A, Anne Clementson Elston, Wisconsin B ; Mary Chappelear Evans, Ohio A; Nancy Scott Gore, Colorado A; Elinor Heron Gray, Montana A ; Marion Gross, Wisconsin A; Mary Lou Heaton.

ONTARlO BETA- UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO

* Chattered. October 29, 193.

This college year of 1940-41 h as ~n ~reat c h a nges at Western. Instead of coke da tes and rugby prac t ice four o'clock finds Western males en ""'Ut for military drill and her co·eds reaching [or thei r knitting. It is paradoxical to uplain to f reshmen that college was all they had dreamed and read about, when the team, the cheer· leader , and the victory song have all disappeared [rom the field and the formal dance has iu wings p o ised for flight.

Joe College finds himself an oddity instead of a type and the football hero has to adjust himself to being just another human working for a dep;ree instead o f a cen te r of interest. Yes, the ,ltlamour has been taken out of college l ife-Western h as b«ome militariz.ed.

But in return there has arisen a deep sense of ft­spons ibi lity-a worthy exchange in this day and hour and one which will sec the student through many a difficult experience for his lifetime. Western loo ks with mingled regret and p ride to those who have left her h a lls for this reason and ",·ho have upheld h e r by ob­taining top ranking in the army examination s 0 the British Empire.

While the men enBage in m ilitary training the Rirls do their share bv joinlnR the St. John's Ambulance Corps for first aid or the Women's Auxiliary Corps for mechan·

in. The less act ive of her numbtrs cling faithfully to their knitling.

The site has been chosen and plan s are now on the way for a fine art buildinR: which is an endowment from th~ I.egacy of the late Mrs. M~cJ~ tosh. The $ )0 ,000 bUlldmg 15 to have I large auditOrium besides the art ,Ilallery which is to contain the fine Scottish marines of Saint Thomas Smith-a collection of the late Mrs. M ac­Intosh . In the same legacy provision h as ~n made for thrtt new .Kholarships. amounting to j2~0 each.

Two years ago initiation was abolished at W este rn but this year a happy medium was struck. The freshmen all wore purple skull caps with a white W besides the usual Frosh Identification button. The unfortunate fresh· men can now be: recojtni zed all over the campus .

The Frosh Hop, which is the official introduction o f Freshmen to college socia l life, takes place O ctober 10. lt will put an o: nd tu the trials of " B ig Sisters" whose duty it is to look after Freshettes until Ihis ni,ltht when the)' wind up by obtaining a partner fo r the "Little Sister. "

The chapter house is taking- on a new guise this .yea r with extra members, and extra trimmin,lls in the offin,R:. The number has mcreased to 16 and a variety of courses is represented by them. namely: medicine, honou r busineu, secretarial, sociolOll:YI mathematics and physics, English , psychology. and publiC hea lth .

A program of redecoration has btgun. The li ving room is beln,R: refinished In a wine and blue colou r K heme. The chapter members are undertaking the decorating themselves.

The first rushin,lt tea of the scuon WIS held at the chapter house on Sunday, October 6. It is planned to have one each Sunday and to have two dinner R:uests each week in addition.

Two pledgings have been held this fa ll and together with the number pledged in the spring there are now sixtttn pledges.

The Pan hellenic Council at the close of the last school year in June "oted to continue the system of deferred rushing another year as the Admini s tration and Faculty on the Duke campus felt that one year wu not sufficient trial for such a compl icated system. M ost of the sororities agreed Hut, with some additions to th e rules which have betn added since la st February. the rushing seuon this year shou ld be more successful for everyone a lthou,ICh most of the stron,lte r chapters including TI B <f>. believe it to have been more than successfu l last year.

One of the ma in chan,ICes as far as actual rushing is concerned has been the admittin~ of freshmen and trans· fers to the Panhell enic House for a series of two in­formal open houses in wh ich the new girls arc divided into groups of two, then into pe riods of six. for the purpose o f btcorninjl: acquainted wit h the chapter room~ of each 9.'omen's fraternity and also 50 that they may sec each chapter as a whole.

Although Ihe sorority Ioli r ls on campus are fairlv w e ll acquainted ""ith the freshmen by no w, many fed th at the opportunity given to Ihe freshmen for beComing acquainted with each chapter will prove to be an asset when rushing fo rma lly starts,

Previous to last year, the rehtions bet?'een each of thl" twelve chapters were very Rood ::and it is felt that since the ad"ent o f deferred rushing tog~ther with the limits of the quota system that the r ival rv has b«n in­tensified.
