lEditorials

Lolla Weir Resign> III health has forced the reSIgnation of Lotta Johnson Weir, Illinois Z, as alumn", club editor of

the ARROW, and the Editor of the ARROW finds it hard to express strongly enough her personal as well as official regret over the loss of her services. She has been the kind of a staff member that an editor dreams of finding, ever competent and ever reliable. For lifteen years Lotta has faithfully edited the letters from alumnre clubs, sometimes close to two hundred of them, and how trying a task it was the Editor once realized when Lotta was away on a trip, and the letters came to the Editor instead. They came, in every possible form and on every kind of paper, typed and hand· written, long ones and short ones, well-written ones, and hasty, poorly written ones, and it took days to get them in shape for the printer. That was Lotta' s work for all those years, and always the Jetters reached the Editor on time, and in fine form, for many of them had been typed or re.typed. It has always been a joy to know for the whole period of the present editorship that her part of the work would be done perfectly. Thank you, Lotta, and to you go all good wishes from Pi Phis everywhere for perfect recovery and happy days.

-+ -+ A noth er L 055

Nita Day Carman, editor of our Exchanges and College Notes has resigned too-in her case because she was making an extended tour of Europe. Her work has perhaps not been as generally known as Mrs. Weir's, because her department has seldom been used as a unit of late years, since war-time restriction, paper shortages, etc. forced cutting the size of the magazine. Her contribu­tions, always well-chosen from the magazines of the other fraternities, have been used as filler material, and have added much to the interest of the issues-and they were always forthcoming when the Editor wanted them. She will be missed--especially because of her sense of humor which made life gay!

-+ -+ + N ew S taff M embers

Appointment as alumn:::e club editor has been accepted by Virginia Sherman Kozak, of Syracuse, New York, who will be remembered at French Lick as the delegate from her club, and as one of the most faithful workers on the Convention Daily. The new Exchange Editor brings back a well·known name to the Staff- Mercedes Baker Jorgulesco, of Tarrytown, New York, formerly editor of From Pi Phi Pens- her work in that department was always full of Jife and interest. Her husband, Jonel Jorgulesco by the way, is Art Editor of Red Book Magazine. A new editor of the News from Little Pigeon also joins the staff-changes in the personnel of the Settlement School Committee have brought as editor of that section Harriet Goodsell Rauch, Iowa Beta, in place of Olivia Smith Moore, Missouri Alpha. To her we are indebted for the fine picture of the new Health Center at the School-it appears on the cover of this issue.

-+ -+ Some Plans

The December issue is always crowded with the accumulation of material which has come in since last March. since the September issue carries strictly business matters. This time the inter~t leans rather heavily towards the active girls, with honor girls, and with the stories of the two new chapters. The chapter letters in this issue seem more interesting than usual, full of the enthusiasm and the fresh interest in national affairs which Convention should always bring in its train-they are well worth reading. The turn of the alumnre will come in the March issue, dead­line January 10-it will be devoted largely to their interests, with an interesting artide by Mari­anne Reid Wild, much news of the alumn:::e projects, and such personal material as Pi Phis are

good enough to send in. On hand are some interesting stories of Pi Phis who are doing things, but more are needed. If you know of Pi Phis who are in interesting work. preferably of national interest, and also if you know Pi Phis who may be elected to office in the forthcoming elections, or whose husbands may be coming into office, please send brief articles about them, with pictures if possible. Especially interesting would it be to have someth ing about members who are round ing out fifty years of service to thei r own chapters-we have many like that who have served on House Corporations or on AdviSOry Boards for many a year. Will you help ?

New Project -~ + -~

Pi Beta Ph i's new project, the Alumnre Home, is introduced to readers of the ARROW on the page following this one, and the ARROW will continue to give the committee as much publicity as possible for this new plan, which should become one of the g reat interests of Pi Phis every· where. W e have devoted the Settlement School, that great memorial to the Founders, to altruism­now there is a chance to do something for the happiness of our own people. The Cleveland Com­mittee has made a fine start in their work.

Sympathy to Delta Gamma - )- - )- - )-

Pi Beta Phi extends to Delt. Gamma its deepest sympathy for the loss of its distinguished Editor, Alta Gwinn Saunders, who was killed in the tragic plane crash at Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania last June. while on her way to the D elta Gamma Convention at Swampscott. Under Mrs. Saunders editorship the A1Jchora was always interesting, always att ractive-hers is a real loss not only to her own fraternity, but to the Editor 's Conference of National Panhellenic, which she had served with distinction as chairman, and in which she always took a prominent part. To the Editor of the A RROW Mrs. Saunders' death is a personal loss- she was a good friend.

Greetings! A hearty welcome to the two new chapters of Pi Beta Ph i- Tennessee Gamma and W ashington

Gamma.

To Our Active Members-An Appreciation

D EAR ACTIVES-Convention is long since over, your delegates have given their re­

ports and you have discussed in chapter meetings the many important events and decisions of that busy perioJ. For the delegates, I hope the memories are all happy, and foc the cbapters, I hope the reports have given you all new en­thusiasm, and filled you with new pride in just being a Pi Phi.

At Convent.ion, there was one report that came at the end of a long hot day, when you had every right \0 leave with the thought, " Oh, that doesn't concern me." Instead you stayed and listened and at the end you rushed up and practically mobbed the speaker_ I refer, of course, to Mrs. Middleton's report on the work of her Committee for the Pi Beta Phi Alumn", Home_ She was pleased and greatly touched by

the interest and response shown hy the active girls. She is no longer Chairman of the Com­mittee, but the present Committee wants you to know that they, too, appreciate your attitude.

As you know, the Home is to be purely an Alumna! project, and the active gi rls are not being asked or expected to contribute to it in any way. The Committee wants you to know, however, that any time that any of you wishes to make any contribution, as an individual, as a gift from one of your family, or from a friend , or from the chapter it wiIl be most gratefully received. Meanwhile, go ahead with your many active proj ects and get all you can from and do all you can for Pi Phi.

(You know, You' ll all be alumn", some day - it creeps up on you!)

The speaker of Convention, Dr. G. Herbert Smith, president of Willamette University and president of B 0 n (and also a good Pi Phi husband and father!) thrilled Pi Phis, repre­sentatives of other National Panhellenic frater­nities, and deans of Indiana coll e8es and uni­versities at the formal Monday night dinner.

Excerpts from his inspiring appeal to Greek letter organizations to live up to their ideals and so meet fraternity criticism follow this ar­ticle.

Holt H ouse and the history of Pi Beta Phi came alive at the opening program on Sunday evening, when Gladys all, chairman of the Holt H ouse Committec, and Marian Simmons, former H olt House chairman and now Na­tional H istorian, presented tales of the Frater­nity when it was young. The Holt House movie, Mrs. Simmons' talk of the Founders as girls, with emphasis on the fact that Pi Phi was the first fraternity to honor the place of its founding -all this was a fine background for the week that was to follow.

Settlement School night had its interesting program on Wednesday night, with Ruth Bar­rett Smith, Iowa r, in charge of an Informa­tion Please program, followed by ballads of the Great Smokies sung by the quartet of girls and by two delightful children from the Settle­ment School, who with their music· teacher and

Mr. Johnson, acting superintendent of the School, came from Gatlinburg just for the day. Those charming children-their voices went stra ight to the hearts of every li stener, in touching picture of the real object of Our work at Gatlinburg, the development of the children of the region. The same theme ran through Ruth Smith's fine report at a Conven­tion session- the entire presentation of the

Virginia Bracken Green

Settlement School left no doubt of the con­tinuing va lue of the great project, and sent those who heard it to the Settlement School display off the main lobby of the hotel, with renewed interest.

Chosen as special initiate for Convention was charming Evelyn Gabel Enteman, of East Orange, New Jersey, graduate of Vassar and of New York University, trust administrator of the Irving National Bank in New York City. She is the wife of Verling C. Enteman , a <1>, former chairman of National Interfraternity Con­ference, and speaker at the Pi Phi Convention in Swampscott in 1946. Read her talk, which we give in full, to share some of the feeling which she gave to those who heard her.

Informal get-togethers, province get-togeth­ers, luncheons honoring various groups, such as the Canadians, members of Mortar Board, Pi Phi mothers and daughters, Golden Arrow members, and old timers who had attended more than three conventions, were scattered through the week. Wednesday afternoon was devoted

to recreation, with a special trip to the restora· tion at Spring Mill State Park, and sports and games besides- a day which ended with an in · formal Hoosier covered wagon supper.

These things make up the factual story of Con· vention, but words can scarcely describe the life and color of it all. All through the week , old French Lick rang with gaiety and Pi Phi songs, was fi lled with arrows and g irls and girls and more girls. There were happy meet· ings with old friends, fast.developing new friendships. small conferences and large ones, noisy, happy luncheons when Gene Eyeman of the hotel orchestra, played requests in honor of officers and provinces-sometimes the line· up to put in requests was long enough to block traffic in the crowded dining room! and how well those Pi Phi songs were played, too. There was something going on every minute, ending often in the small hours of the morning. Crowning event of the memorable week was the banquet, a brilliant picture of beautiful girls, lovely gowns, wonderful flowers, made lovelier still by the background of mirrors, made impressive by the toast program beautiful· ly planned by Marianne Reid Wild, rising to heights of Pi Phi devotion, and closing with

the candlelight ceremony of the loving cup, and the singing of the Anthem by over a thousand voices.

There were funny things, too--not always so funny at the time, such as the waiters' strike the first night, which the hotel management so cleverly camouBaged as a buffet supper that few people knew it happened; the literally "moving" story of the Convention Daily, with­out a permanent home, and quartered every· where from a corner on the porch to the dance studio. shared with the interesting couple of dancers who liked the Pi Phis so much.

Everyone in the hotel liked the Pi Phis too, and Grand Council was indeed proud of the comments of the management when Conven· tion was over and grateful, also, to the man­agerial staff for very much courtesy and kind­ness.

Truly it was a Convention to remember, for its progressive legislation, its fine spirit, its al ­ways interesting1 well-informed discussion, its intelligent and attractive delegates, both active and alumn." and through it all, its good fel · lowship and its fun . It was one of the great gatherings of Pi Beta Phi , one to be cherished always.

Live Up to Our Ideals Exrerpll from all addrm by DR. G. HERBERT SMITH

FRATERNITIES and sororities need only to live: up to their ideals to deter fraternity criticism,

Dr. George H erbert Smith, president of Wil­lamette University and Grand President of B 0 n, told members of Pi Beta Phi and their guests at the Panhellenic Banquet. The ideals of every chapter are lofty and beautiful, he said, and we should make oursel yes worthy of those ideals.

Dr. Smith said that colleges and fraternities

but as a promoter of undemocratic spirit," he said. Mr. Smith defended the fraternity, saying that the fraternity is the closest thing to family life. We have a right to select our friends ac­cording to our own standards of intelligence and mutual assistance to certain objectives, .he maintained, and a democratic government can­not stop this.

In behalf of the college, Dr. Smith said that it is a definite mistake for the fraternity to re­main aloof from the college. After all we exist on campuses only by the invitation of the ad­ministration and we stay there only as long as the administration wants us. He emphasized that we must be considered an essential part of the college; otherwise we are nothing.

The college fraternity is the best possible medium for student government. A fraternity can bring high ideals and leadership to every campus. If colleges cou ld realize this, it would help to alleviate the misunderstanding between colleges and fraternities.

"Sororities," he said, "do better in many ways than men's organizations." He cited examples of their providing better chapter houses than the men, their having better house management, and their providing greater philanthropic projects. He paid special tribute to the Pi Phi Settlement School, and said that while men's oranizations so often feel that only brotherhood is necessary, sororities provide for and think about others less fortunate than themselves.

Dr. Smith said, "because group drinking leads to excess drinking and excess drinking is bad." He said he feared that some fraternity may get caught by a photographer or reporter at some such party and cause much bad publicity for the fraternity system. He further said if such a thing should happen, the college would certainly stand by and let the fraternity bear the whole brunt of such a scandal.

In developing Dr. Tressider's point about what women do to those outside membership, he claimed that there are enough brains within the fraternity system to devise means to keep f rom hurting as many girls as we do now. He urged that we consider the freshmen and not the sorority so much. He said that the sorority can always save face, but that we don't give the freshman a chance because of such rush rules as registering and paying a fee before pledging. He also charged the sororities with carrying prospective pledges too · long. He cited the ex.mJ<!e of the soro~ity which carried fifty girls up to the last dinner to assure filling twenty-live places.

"Women are guilty of over-public display, Dr. Smith said. "Sororities have entirely too much undue publicity about rush and we get a reputation of being clannish because of this, " he said. He pointed out the case of a sorority that published a list of the fraternities in which its pledges could date.

"Thoughtfulness is the key by which we can solve these problems," Dr. Smith said. He urged the Convention delegates to go back to their respective campuses and take a stand on these matters. "Get rid of registration and payment. to·be·considered," he urged. "Try to remember the frehman's feelings. The fraternity is wel l enough established to save its face; the fresh · man is not."

He asked the women's fraternities to confine their expressions of joy over new pledges to the chapter house in order not to -hurt other girls who didn't pledge. He cited as a bad example of over.public display a university where the girls who have pledged are received on the front steps of the administration building by fraternity men, while those who haven't pledged

have to sneak out the back door to save embar· rassment and because they arc not allowed to come out the front door.

To help fo r better feeling between fraterni­ties a nd all persons on campus, he suggested that chapters inst ruct their members to make fri ends outside the house and to plan affa irs where outsiders can (orne into the house. H e emphasized OUf keeping out of print as much as possible. The less that is heard of us the better. he said, because reporters don't want the good things about the f r.ternily but only those things which bri ng discredit to the fraternity system as a whole.

"In spite of the criti cism and opposit ion," he concluded, "this is the golden age of the Ame r ican college fraternity system. We now have the strongest position on the college cam­pus that we've evcr had," he said. "The genera l acceptance of the college fraternity has resulted from the g rowing realization that the fraternity is an essential part of the educational program of the college or un iversity,"

O UR 1948 Convention at French Lick beca me an international one when on

Tuesday evening, June 29, Anne Guthrie, Colo­rado B and California A, brought the United Nations into close view for us all. The intro­duction of 16 delegates of the Convention by Miss Guthrie as representat ive women from the Philippines, China, and India effectively set the stage for her tour of the United Nations at Lake Success. The following girls were dressed In the native costumes of these three countries; Pat Williams, Arkansas A; Emily Ann Tiller, Arkansas A ; Mary Anne Hyman, Indiana r; Betty Beck, Indiana r; Jean Claire Dunbar, Indiana B ; Mary Jane Brittain, Indiana E ; Nancy Kelsey, Indiana t.; Betty Ann Lewis, Indiana r ; Nancy King, Washington A; Grace Dilts, New York A; Janet Adams, Colorado A; Eileen Hoye~ Colorado A; Pat Means, Wisconsin A; Zelva Moeser, Washington B; Joyce Carlson, Colorado B; Joan H ermes, Wisconsin B. Since Anne Guthrie has spent five years in each of these three countries, she came to know person­ally the distinguished women she brieRy intro· duced on the platform. One of the girls rep· resented the first woman to be elected to the Senate of the Philippines. Another delegate came dressed as the woman in charge of the Bureau of Public Welfare in the Philippines. The only representative of China was the wife of Dr. Sun-Y at-sen, a most beloved person in China. Several celebrities came to visit from India. There were present the wife of the Gov­ernor of Bombay, the Minister of Health of the Indian Cabinet, the National President of the Indian Y.W.C.A., and the most distinguished of all Indian women, the sister of a greater leader, Mrs. Pandit. Mrs. Pandit is the on ly woman to head a delegation to the United Nations, and she also holds the title of Ambassador to Russia.

By skillfully depicting the UN as an effective world organization, and by describing the vari­ous sections and entrances to the Security Council and Economic and Social Council, Miss Guthrie was able to impress upon her audience the worthiness of the very existence of the UN. A comparison was made between the UN and Panhellenic, by which she pointed out that we expect wonders from an organization three years old, yet do we demand as much from a three

year old child? Panhellenic tries to establish harmony among groups so very similar in aims and organization, while the UN tries to do the same things with countries made of incongruous types of government and peoples. "The marvel of it is that it exists, it is here. "

An interesting incident was told by Miss Guthrie about the Chinese alphabet. It seems that the Chinese were hunting for a character to form the word "peace." The Chinese finally put two characters together which meant "food" and " mouth." With the use of interesting inci­dents to illustrate her stories, Miss Guthrie brought us human interest anecdotes mingled with her own personality to make the United Nations more vivid to us all.

"Only conRicts make the front page," said Miss Guthrie, "and if we all return to our home after Convention safe and sound we will not make the front page." By this statement we reo alized that harmony and success in matters which concern us alJ at the UN, are less likely to be publicized and noticed by the world.

In conclusion, there were stated five qualifi.

cations which Miss Guthrie felt were needed by all to prepare and work for peace:

1. Knowledge-We are down on what we are not up on. Observance of the world about

us is necessary with scholarship. 2. Understanding- This comes as we gain

capacity to put ourselves in others' places. We must find our path and pursue it.

3. Courage-Not only physical courage is needed but intellectual courage as well. We must learn to think for ourselves and have the courage of Ollr convictions.

4 . Patience and Steadfastness- We must have forbearance in all things. The Orient taught Miss Guthrie to be less impatient, to remember that things take time, especially im­portant things.

5. Love of Humanity~We must extend our brotherly love to all people and nations of the world. The only real progress is progress in Charity, all others are second to it. Speaking to all Pi Phis present, Miss Guthrie said that we are all sisters together and found it easy to love one another. Love of one's enemy is more difficult. The opposite of love is not hate but fear. We are never afraid of that which we understand. Urging more faith in the world and Jess fear, Miss Guthrie closed her most inspiring and informative talk by quoting from a Chinese proverb.

"Love conquers hate or fear as water conquers fire . But most of us practice love as though with one little cup of water we could put out a cart full of wood on fire."

And true to the words of Mrs. Cooper, the petitioning group was pledged the last two days of August. Mrs. E. M. Draper conducted pledging services for 114 actives and alumnre at the home of Rose Carbone. The new pledges gathered in the chapter room in the Student Union Building the evening of August 31 for the reading of the constitution.

History of the College of Puget Sound

T HE College of Puget 'Sound was first in· corporated as the Puget Sound University

on March 17, 1888, upon the application of the Puget Sound Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Its academic organization was changed from that of a university to that of a college of liberal arts in 19 14. In 1927, it became strictly a four year liberal arts coHege. Its work has received the highest accred itation from the various ac· crediting organizations and it has been on the approved list of the Association of American Universities since 1932.

The campus comprises 60 acres in the heart of the finest residential district in Tacoma and commands a view of majestic Mount Rainier.

There are ten buildings on the campus. Work

on a field house, new music building and the president's home have been started. This sum­mer a ski lodge at Mount Rainier was obtained for the exclusive use of the college students.

College attendance has hit the 2,000 mark. The college is the largest privately endowed in· stitution of higher learning in the Northwest.

The are two national fraternities, K l: and l: N on the campus. The other three men's groups are making plans to go national in the future. Pi Beta Phi is the only national women's group on the campus. There are three local sororities.

The College of Puget Sound campus features the Gothic type of structure in all its buildings. It is the rambling castle of the northwest- "Its guardian is the mountain beside the silver sea."

Tennessee GamlUa Installation

O N MAY n, 1948, the dream of sixteen girls and the members of the Knoxville­

little Pigeon Alumnre Club became a reality when n cl» r at the University of Tennessee was installed as Tennessee r of Pi Beta Phi.

The dream began in the summer of 1947 when the alumnre clubs of Knoxville and little Pigeon laid plans whereby Pi Beta Phi's 93rd chapter would be chartered on the University of Tennessee campus. A very successful rushing season was conducted in competition with all the other national women's fraternities, and on October 6, pledging was held. Then began Ihe enthusiastic work of the new members of n ~ r with thee special supervisor, Peg Ward, Tndiana E, and three other Pi Beta Phis on the campus, Julia Hildebrandt, D .C. A, Carroll Thompson , Tennessee A, and Charlotte Townsend Owen,

Arkansas A, toward their goal of a chapter of Pi Beta Phi.

The culmination of this dream took place last May 14 and 15 in Knoxville, for on those days pledging and initiation of sixteen girls into Pi Beta Phi were held. After pledging on Friday, May 14, a buffet supper-cooky·shine was given by the Knoxville-little Pigeon Alumnre in the lovely home of Mrs. John Oliver in Holston H ills. Each new pledge read an original tribute to Pi Beta Phi and sang a song with original lyric about Pi Beta Phi. Mrs. Frank E. Wil· liams, Epsilon Province President, read to the girls from the Pi Beta Phi Constitution during the evening, and a discussion was held.

Saturday noon, May 15, the X n actives and alurnnre gave a luncheon for all out-oF-town Pi Beta Phi visitors in the X n room in the PanheI ­lenic Building.

That afternoon the sixteen charter members of n ~ r were initiated and installed as cha rter members of Tennessee r of Pi Beta Phi. Mrs. Robert S. Wild, Grand Vice-president, was the installing officer, and she was assisted by Mrs. Frank E. Williams, Epsilon Province President, and Mrs. John M. Foster, Epsilon Province Vice-president. Pi Phis from Chattanooga and Nashville were also on hand to witness the birth of the Fraternity's 93rd chapter. Miss Leslie Milligan, Tennessee A, and Miss Betty Ruble, Tennessee B, were the offi~ial representa­tives from their chapters.

Following initiation and installation, a ban­quet was held in the Farragut Hotel in Knox­ville. Miss Ruth Dyer of the Settlement School in Gatlinburg was toastmistress, and the theme of the program revolved around the "Pi Beta Phi Symphony." The program included inspira­tional talks by Mrs. Wild, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. H. H. Everett, Knoxville alumme, Jean DeVault, Tennessee r, and Peg Ward,

Ind iana E. Several lovely gifts to the chapter were opened and many telegrams and letters of congratu lations were read. Gardenia corsages worn by all the Pi Phis at the banquet were gifts of Mrs. James E. Lindley, Zeta Province Vice­president.

Joan Edington was awarded a special recog­nition pi" for being the "outstanding pledge," and Martha Parks was given the scholarship ring for the greatest improvement in grades during the year. The Oak Ridge Alumna: pre­sented a gavel guard to Peg Ward for her year as president of the chapter. The program was concluded with the singing of the Loving Cup Song.

Sunday morning a model chapter meeting was held in the Pi Beta Phi room with Mrs. Wild presiding. The Pi Phis then attended the First Presbyterian Church in a group. In the after­noon a formal recept ion for the faculty, ad­ministration, student body, and friends was held in the beautiful! A E fraternity house.

Thus, the ceremonies for the installation of Tennessee r were concluded, but the joy and work in building Tennessee r into one of the strongest links in the chain of Pi Beta Phi chapters has just begun; and all of those con­nected with Tennessee r look forward to a great future in Pi Beta Ph i.

H IsTORIC University of Tennessee, founded in 1794, is a fitting background for the

new chapter. The University is fully accredited, and its student body is drawn from all over the South, by its various colleges, Liberal Arts, Engineering, Agriculture, and its Graduate School, all at Knoxville, and its Medical and Dental Schools, at Nashville. Co-operation be­tween the University and the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School has long been close, with of late years a definite link in the University's support of the ummer Work Shop at the School, and the granting of credits toward a degree for properly accred ited work done at Gatlinburg. The character of its student body makes it a fittingly strong home for a chapter of Pi Beta Phi, and the new group there will have support from the entire Southern region.

The New Healt h Center

Our hr'it nur'iC (or the Pi Beta Phi Settlement hool, Phyllis Higinbotham, Ontario A, went

to Gatlinburg in 1920. There was great beauty in the Smokies; the brilliant· and variegated .. how of fall colors in October; icicles hanging from the trees transforming the mountains in winter; the procession of spring flowers and flowering trees beginning with the first wood violets and wmd flowers in March through the dogwood season and the pink mountain laurel to the flaming azaleas of May ; the white rhododendron blooming until late in July; and the ever-changing white clouds hovering over the peaks of the foot· hills. But mid all of this beauty " Miss Phyllis" found great need for health and emergency medical assistance. There were no doctors or nurses within a radius of many miles and health and sanitary standards were unknown. Nurse Phyllis had no clinic, no hospital, no office, but carried her clinic, hos· pital and office in her brown saddle·bag as she rode over the almost impassable roads on her horse, " Lady." She served the people out of her saddle·bag for two years until the old Ogle Cottage was remodeled into a combination clinic, hospital and nurse's living quarters.

Our first Jennie Nicol Memorial Hospital was dedicated on May 8, 1922. "Miss Phyllis" in addition to answering her many calls, taught hygiene, taught a class of mid·wives, examined the school children for nose, throat, eye or general health troubles and in her six years of service there built the Ogle Cottage into a model rural health center.

Since then the new highway has been built through Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Na· tional Park has been completed. Our health program has outgrown the little Ogle Cottage.

Our present nurse, Marjorie Chalmers, in her report of last year said, "The modern tendency for education and prevention in medicine is quite apparent in comparing the work of the past fifteen years.-Typhoid and diphtheria inoculations have not increased much, while vaccinations for small-pox, forbidden in some homes in 1933, have trebled in number. Serum for whooping cough is almost universal now. Field visits have dropped nearly one·third but

office cal ls are up two and one·half times.­In 1933 1,600 pupil inspections were made and last year there were 4,180. When we stop [Q consider there are nearly seyen hundred students in the district served by the Healt h Center and nearly as many younger chi ldren, we realize the importance of education.- Regu. lar Friday afternoon well baby cJinic'i were held throughout the year with special ones added from time to time.-Community health is a communi ty problem. It is bigger than any one individual or anyone organization. It reo 9uires leadership but more than that it must have the approval and support of the com· munity. Through the many years of service, the Fraternity has supplied the leaders and com· munity support has grown steadily. It should be a source of pride and satisfaction to know we have the cooperation of individuals and civic organizations. Without it, we would be, to a certain extent, interlopers. With it, we can go far in service to humanity."

This past June, nurse Marjorie Chalmers moved into our newly built and completed health center. Funds for this building came largely from the estate of Dr. W. F. Garsh· wiler of Indianapolis, lndiana ; Sl.000 from Washington, D.C., A; and California Alpha's contribution. Dr. Garshwiler's contribution was given in memory of his wife, Florence Province Garshwiler, who was an Indiana 8 and a loyal supporter of all lndiana chapters as well as the rndianapolis Alumnre Club. Washington, D.C., Alpha's contribution was given in memory of Mabel Scott Brown, a former D.C. A n <P. California Alpha's gift was part of the money which the chapter had left in its funds when the chapter was withdrawn [rom leland Stan­ford University berause of university action. On July 12, whi le the Settlement School Com· mittee and Miss Onken were in Gatlinburg, the new health center was appropriately dedicated to its broadened health service.

The building stands conveniently on the main highway near Arrowcraft Shop. It is built of hand-hewn, native, white-pine shingles. It has field·stone trim and a grey slate roof. The architecture corresponds to that of Arrowcraft

THE DECEMBER ARROW 207

and, in time. the shingles will take on the same lovely grey sheen as those of Arrowcraft. The entrance hall. office, and class-room are finished with pine walls. The first-aid room and clinic are finished in standard white. The windows of the three former rooms are hung with hand­woven draperies, made by Arrowcraft weavers. The panels on the windows at either side of the front door were designed by Mary Elizabeth Sullivan of Eugene, Oregon, one of the staff of the summer work-shop. Mrs. Eleanor Simms of Gatlinburg gave the pen and lamp for the desk in the office. There was a new air-guide, a gift of Mrs. Elizabeth Peck, a former director of the school. The many beautiful flowers which brightened all of the rooms for the dedication service came from the gardens of Mr. and Mrs. Elvin Trentham. Gatlinburg friends came to witnes:, tht: dedication and there were numbers of little folks there who had known "Miss Marjorie' · and the old health center well. They had their picture taken and had to be "weighed in" on the scales in the new clinic room.

The dedicatory service was very simple. Rev­erend Blanton gave the invocation. Ruth Barrett Smith, Chairman of the Settlement School Com· mittee, read the Love chapter from the Corinthi­ans. Mrs. Armstrong, our Pi Beta Phi Musical Director, broll~ht nine of her young high school girls who sang "Bless This House."

Miss Onken gave an interesting resume of the life of Dr. Jennie M. Nicol, one of the founders of the Fraternity, and one of the first American women to enter the practice of medi­cine. The old Health Center had been dedicated to Jennie Nicol twenty-five years ago. Because

Chapter M eetings

->

One of the dangerous tendencies in some fraternities at present is the slighting of ritual­istic practices. particularly in the conduct of regular meetings. There are so many things going on in modern coliege life that there just doesn't seem to be time to do everything and so the old, time·honored chapter meeting suffers.

The inBated size of chapters today has con­tributed to the difficulty to the extent that old chapter halls and meeting places will no longer accommodate the large number of members. "Close communion in the chapter hall" is a mockery and the time for thoughtful programs and discussions doesn't seem to be available.

of her life of service, the new building will be called 'The Jennie icol Health Center.'

Miss Ruth Dyer, our resident director at the Settlement School, gave a fitting tribute to the intere t and painstaking care of the men who had labored on the building.

Nurse Chalmers said, "All things considered, I should be at least three times as happy as any one else here tonight.

"First, because r am a citizen of Gatlinburg and, as such, have a civic pride in this beautiful building, not only because of its architectural worth, but because of its value to the life and safety of the community.

"In the second place, I am proud to be a member of the staff of the Pi Beta Phi Settle­ment School and to have some small share in the generous and untiring work of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity.

"And, last of all, and greatest of all, in the personal pride and gratitude in SO attractive and efficient a center. The old building has served its purpose well. Its doors have ever been open to the folk of the commun ity, whatever their need.

"Together, we have seen much joy and much sorrow. From you I have learned much of kindliness and patience, and the innate good­ness of mankind. We have changed from the old to the new building but the spirit of service remains the same and shall so continue so long as the house, itself, shall stand ."

With the words, "we dedicate this building to the service of mankind," the new Jennie M.

icol Health Center entered upon its official service in the community of Gatlinburg.

The present tendency, if it is not checked, is certain to change the aspect of the American college fraternity. The fraternity has been a unique institution, combining the features of free masonry, the old-fashioned literary society, the co-operative boarding house. and the social club. Through it all has been a fine idealism and a close cementing of abiding friendships which constant contract with ritualistic cere­monies engendered.

A "return to the altar" was never so strongly indicated_

Holt House News at Convention

W HAT joy it was to bring Holt House to convention in the form of booklets and by

motion pictures! The new Holt House booklets were given as souvenirs to the officers, delegates, and visitors attending the Historical and Holt House program, giv ing to those who have not had the opportunity to see the House more knowledge of its beauty and of its important historical value to the Fraternity.

The cover of the booklet is silver blue with a white shaded picture of the stately entrance framed with trees, fully leaved, with the branches meeting across the top of the picture. Protecting the cover is web patterned fly-tissue paper with the simple t itle, "Holt House at Monmouth, Illinois/' and the Fraternity crest below, printed in wine colored ink .

Pi Phis will find The Story of Holl H Ollie

written by OUf national historian, Marian Keck Simmons, most enlighteni ng and interesting as it tells of the Holt fam ily; why the name of Holt House was given to the memorial ; of two of our Founders, Ada Bruen and Libbie Brook, who roomed in the southeast bedroom which is the room where Pi Beta Phi was founded; of the furnishing of the House; and of Holt House as it was in 1867 and as it is today. The whole is a thrilling and delightful Pi Phi publi­cation .

The sixteen full-paged pictures are beautifully finished and under each one is a caption telling the name of the room, or of some object of special importance. The first picture shows the receptionist greeting an active and a pl edge, and the pictures which follow show the girls visiting the various rooms of the House.

A copy of Holt House will be sent to each dub, chapter, and officer for official files, and to each new initiate. Pi Phis desiring copies of their own may secure them from Central Office at fifty cents each.

The short motion picture film of Holt House shown at convention has had one hundred more feet added to it and now gives a complete pic­ture of the House. The film will soon be avail­able to chapters and dubs fo r showing.

During convention, Pi Phis from Theta Province expressed the desire to present a special gift to Holt House. Since a si lver tray has been needed for the silver tea service which Epsilon Province gave to the House last spring, the chairman suggested that this tray would be a useful gift and greatly appreciated_ Within two days, eighty-three dollars and twenty-6ve cents had been contributed. This generous amount of money was given to Mrs. Spoehrer, president of the St_ Louis Alum"'" Club, who had selected

the tea service, to purchase the tray in the same design. The beautiful tray is now at Holt H ouse proudly supporting the silver tea service. H ow g rate ful this committee and the future commit· tees will always be to Theta and Epsilon Provinces for these fine g ifts!

A committee was selected by Grand Council to submit names of clubs to be represented on the new Holt House Committee. Serving on this committee were : Chai rman, Carol R. Sheppard, Miami, Florida; Mrs. James R. Ryan, Seattie, Washington ; and Mrs. Emerson R. Miller, Pitts­burgh, Pennsylvania. The alumnre clubs chosen to be represented are: Peoria, Ill inois; Lafayette, Indiana; Monmouth, Illinois; Iowa City, Iowa; and Ann Arbor, M iChigan .

Under the new rules governing the Holt House Committee, the chairman and the treas­urer shall be appointed to office by Grand Council. The members selected to serve on the incoming committee are: Chairman, Nancy ] . Swisher (Mrs. Scott H.), 1022 Newton Road. Iowa City, Iowa ; Carol M. Cook (Mrs. W arren T.), 1201 Gardner, Ann Arbor, Mich igan ; Frances Small Trost (Mrs. John F. ), R.R. I, Lafayette, Indiana; Alice McDougall Jensen (Mrs. R. M.) , 303 East Broadway, Monmouth, Illinois; and Carmen Pletz (Mrs. Samuel L.), 215 South Glenwood, Peoria, Illinois. The ap­pointment of the treasurer will be announced later.

The chairman reg rets that it is impossible for her to complete her term of office. She will miss the close association with Holt House which she has been privileged to have the past two years . One can not carry on the duties of this office without acquiring a lasti ng love for the House so filled with Pi Phi history and trad itions. It is a g reat satisfact ion, though, to be succeeded by Nancy Swisher who has always been interested in Holt House and proud of all that it symbolizes. Mrs. Swisher has been presi­dent of the Iowa City Advisory Committee, and of the Iowa City Alumn., Club and has served on the building corporation board. In all her fraternity workings, she has shown superior ex­ecutive ability. Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Trost, Mrs. Jensen and Mrs. Pletz have all held offices in their alumnz clubs.

A new 6scal year has started for Holt House with a newly appointed committee to watch over its welfare. Let us aU give this committee Our generous support as they serve us in maintaining Holt House as the supreme memorial it is ... to the founding of Pi Beta Phi.

SHIRLEY SEIFERT, Th. Prolld lVay. J. B. Lip­pincotl CO., 316 pp.

In her most recent historical novel. published last spring, Shirley Seifert has again recon­st ructed the little-known, youthful years of per­sons who, in maturity, shaped a portion of America's destiny. Essentially this is the story of Varina Howell and the two years of her girlhood when her romance, which culminated in marriage to Jefferson Davis, was developing. More than that, however, and more lhan being a delightfully warm and spirited love sto!),. it is a delineation of two nationally prominent per­sonalities.

As the novelist, herself, explains: "This is the portrait of a young lady. In later years she became, I think, one of the great women of our national chronicle- the brilliant wife of one who was in turn Congressman, Cabinet Member, and Senator in the ante-bellum circle of the National Capital, later still a lovely capable and distinguished First Lady of the Confederacy, and a heroic figure through long years of bitter defeat and loss. With all who know her sto!)" I offer homage to those accomplishments; but my interest as a novelist is not SO much in the years of momentous events as in the earlier ones when those traits of character were developing which made heroism answer later to the de­mands of time and circumstance."

So much of what one reads, both fact and fiction, gives the impress ion that until the twentieth century American women contributed at best only to the physical well-being of their families that it is refreshing to meet a young woman whose head did more than carry an intricate coiffure, whose eyes did more than Rirt, and whose lips did more than simper the social amenities.

Even by today's standards Varina was a modern woman , a well-educated, thinking per­son whose opinions were her own and logically conceived. For this reason, as well as others, her story is interesting and meaningful to present day readers whose contemporary she might easily be.

While Th. Proud Way is first of all the

plain the multiple forces which led him and others of his background and upbringing to advocate a nation of the South.

In a year when the historical novel has be· come a vogue to the point of ennui and when publishers seem to feel that the sale of a specific book will be in direct rat io to how low cut gowns the heroine wears, particularly in her book jacket portrait, both Miss Seifert and Lippincott are to be cong ratulated for having written, illustr"ted, "nd published, book with­out resort to such obvious tricks .

AUTHOR INTEREST: Shirley Seifert, a charter Pi Phi of l\{issou ri B chapter, will be remembered for Captain Gralll and other his­torical works. She lives near Kirkwood, Mis­souri, and after college and a heartily disliked bout with teaching began writing short stories. More recently she has devoted her attention to lonser literary works, of which Tbe Proud I~ ay is her latest.

MARY ALBERTA BACON, Poem! 0/ C%r, The Exposition Press, 61 pp.

A different portrait of the South emerges through the poet!)' of Mary Bacon in this re­cently published volume. It is the world of the slave Negro written about in his dialect and expressed throush his point of view.

Of course the Negroes Miss Bacon knew in her childhood Tennessee days were free, but the tasks by which they earned their chicken and biscuits? the standards by which they lived, and the rehglOn by wh ich they were guided were httle different from those of their slave grand­parents.

~onsequently, the inspiration by which she ~rttes of the slave-holding days is compara­bvely unwatered by intervening years and the changing status of the Negro.

Miss Bacon has achieved a nostalgically serene picture of the past in the neighborhood <;,f Jonesboro, Tennessee, and has effectively Incorporated a difficult dialect into pleasantly readable poetry.

The study of music first interested her, and accordingly, she took her training at the Chicago Music College as well as at the University of Washington where she joined Washington A. Currently her writing includes articles and anima l stories as well as poet ry.

and P"blic Address" of William Chapin Dem­ing, Volumes III and IV, The Arthu r H. Clark Co., 367 and 393 pp.

Valuable to historians and students of the daily newspaper these books are worthwhile sequels to the book, IlYiliiam Chapin D eming of Wyoming, which Mrs. Spring prepared several years ago.

In the course of his caceer Mr. Deming published bolh the liYarrell (Ohio ) Trib'I1Ie and the If/yon/inK Tribllne, served as president of the U . S. Civil Service Commission, and par­ticipated in numerous land, irrigation, and building projects . H e also knew well such per­sonalities as Theodore Roosevelt and "Buffalo Bill" Cody.

It is ev ident, there fore, that his writings and speeches will be useful to many other writers and that Mrs. Spring has performed a very real service by her tireless collect ion and editing of Mr. D eming's papers.

AUTHOR INTEREST: A Pi Phi from Wy-

oming A, Agnes Wright Spring is the former state librari an and historian of Wyoming. The history of her Own state is plainly a source of great interest to her and has stimulated much of her work. For example, a litt le over a year ago the magazine Rocky M Olln/ain Lile contained one of her articles, "Million Dollar Gossan," which concerned the history of the now ghostly Ferris·H aggarty copper mine in Wyoming's Batt le Lake country.

which greeted the publication of Across tbe IfYide MiHollr; (reviewed in this column last May), product of the collaboration of Bernard DeVoto with Mae Reed Porter, Iowa Pi Phi, has been signally substantiated. The book re­ceived the Pulitzer Award for the best histori · cal work of 1948.

Television Fans!

Springing from a sturdy pioneer fami ly. she recei ved most of her early upbringing in Iowa, was valedictorian of her class in Iowa City Academy and, after graduating from the State University of Iowa with honors, took a master 's degree at Cornell University.

She became a dist ingu ished autho r, publish­ing The Tree Book (1905) , The Shell Book (1908) and from 1909· 15 published a volume a year in the series Every Child Shollld Know (Trees, Wild Animals, Earth and Sky, etc.) .

In 1910 she toured Europe, not as a Thomas Cook & Son joy tourist but for educational purposes. In 1912 she came to live in Long Beach. H ere she has written three books, lee· tured in extension courses under the auspices of S.C. and served ten years on the local school board. Then two years prior to the crash of '29 (how fortunate was her timing!) in company with a brother and sister she made a leisurely tour of Europe. She still retains those priceless memories. Another six years of quiet at home was foUowed by a world tour on a freighter with a group to the Orient and South Africa.

In a letter sent to Miss Onken, Miss Rogers says "The Centennial Commencement of the University of Iowa included a ceremony: Cita· tion for Achievement honoring 100 alumni, out of the 40,000 living graduates. 1 was in H awaii, so could not be in the procession. Ten of the hundred 'distinguished graduates' were women - I was among the ten."

Shiloh School Got Sponsors By K ENNETH FOREE

T ALLISH, blond Pat Garrott was worried. Little red-haired, rich-red-brown-eyed Mary

Jean Johnson was worried. Ditto half a dozen other lovelies of Pi Beta Phi.

They had revived the Dallas Pi Beta Phi Junior Alumn~ Club, but only ten or twelve attended the monthly meetings and it was evident that cokes, cook ies and chi t chat would never keep it alive.

Therefore. the), needed a project. And therein hangs a tale.

Each m ember looked and was disappointed. The war was over and there was no burning movement on each corner.

But after a while President Pat Garrott noticed a n item. It was about an organization named Save the Children Federation and it sounded interesting enough to get Pi Phi junior alumn~ to a meeting. So she phoned the Texas representative, Mrs. Dorothy Porter-Smith, and asked her to come explain it.

An attractive, fortyish brunette responded. Yes, her organization had projects- by the multiluJe. It needed sponsors for European schools where pupils got their lunch from gar­bage cans . The Pi Phis cringed. But the SCF also had Texas schools where children did without lu nches, there being no garbage cans, and where barefooted boys used a rock for a football. Did the club want something like that f rom an organization which believed in "Build the World of Tomorrow by Saving the Child of Today"?

Y -Yes . They qu ickly wrote a check for $5 down on a $60-a-yea r sponsorship and left it to the SCF to pick a project.

The n ational SCF wrote that the Shiloh N egro School down in the Brazos delta in Burleson County had been assigned the club.

Well , said the Pi Phis, OK. Down to Caldwell drove small , blond, cute

Pat (Mrs . William) Fleming and red-headed Mary Jean Johnson. They turned off onto a rutty dirt lane that pierced thickets and shivered as the Oldsmobile dragged at high centers. Would they ever find it ? Negro women in men's shoes smiled and waved. One supplied a gu ide with a runny nose for theah sponsuhs. Sho they all knew it. Great day!

The big car halted at a I -room box school and a large chocolate woman in a plain blue dress came out grinn ing , Elsie Moore, the

teacher. Inside were thirty-one pupils from big barefooted boys in o\cralls in back to tiny 6 -year.olds in front. But they were clean. The girls had ribbons tied to pigtails and every one wore one thing in common- a g reat smile.

What did they need' Grateful Elsie Moore painted things out-window shades in tattered strings, blackboards on which the blacking had been erased ; the dark, gloomy interior that needed its first coat of paint, a l ittle money to feed the unfortunates who cou ldn't even bring a piece of old b read for lunch. Where was the playground equipment, asked Mary Jean, who teaches at Walnut Hill School. There w asn't none; they just stood around with their hands in thei r pockets at recess. If they cou ld get a ball. ...

The gi rls looked at the school library­twenty dog-eared volumes out of the ark. They looked at the textbooks, the cast-offs of Texas. Behind a partition were several fruit jars with water from the school well outside. The Pi Phis gagged at the wiggletai ls and waterbugs in the jars.

Two g irls, sick in heart but with fire in their veins drove back and e lectrified their club. First they collected old clothes and fired seven or eight bags down to Shi loh. "They was wonderful," wrote back g rateful Elsie Moore . '"M ay God bless you all."

Mrs. Robert Stafford talked her father, D . D. Grindell, of Ginn & Company, out of forty arithmetics and Mrs. Jimmy Long made her husband with Pract ica l Drawing Company supply blackboard , footba ll , baseball and bat at co st.

Meanwhile, the fathers of the pupils as per agreement rebuilt the well box to keep out bugs, painted the inside of the school and built swings.

When lltanksg iving, 1947, neared the club decided to furnish a good Thanksgiving dinner.

Wrote Elsie Moore: 'o ft was wonderful . .. every child was full. We had a short program and thank God for enabl ing you dear gi rls to g ive us Stich a nice dinner. We cannot express in word . . . . "

For Ch ristmas the club sent a gift for each ch ild and the teacher, candy, two bushels of apples and oranges and decorations for a tree.

pupil, "Old Santa Claus were very, very nice and we sure did enjoy it." Wrote Pupil Earl Merida, "Oh, Santa Claus come!"

When the school turned out last June Elsie wrote, "You all is making my school grow." Her thirty-one pupils had become forty-eight.

School had become pleasure. And the Pi Phi's? Their attendance had

jumped from ten to forty, their membership to 100, they had learned the joy of doing for others and the lesson that char ity should begin at home.

With the resumption of campus activities at Dalhousie Uni­versity there was also a great enthwi.asm shown in the return to fraternity interests. The Nova Scotia A dele,ltatcs incre.ased this enthusiasm with their vivid accounts of Con­\"tnt ion.

I;1formal meetings were held during the latter months of the summer by the members of Nova Scotia A who h~d remained in Halifax. Plans fo r the rushing party were dis­cussed and some preparations were made. It was suJUtested that the rushing-party be a ghost party. This ide.a was en larged upon and finalized at the first official meding which WaJ held on October 6. Classes at the University were resumed on October 4. and it was not until then that all the Active members were able to hold their 6rst mcdinR. Until this year the Chapter had been hold in&: its meetings at the homes of various members but now, all the meetings are to be held at the home of Prances Doane. The Chapter is to have the use of the recreation room in this home as its permanent headquarters. This .... ill aid in the carrying out of fraternity ""ark for the coming year and will also be a source of much pleasure for the members.

Nova Scotia A hu eight leu members this year. but this will not remain true for long, it is hoped.

The "ghost" rushing party was held at the home of Leslie Ann Hayes and the many white-sheeted figures moving slowly about the dimly lit rooms created an eerie atmosphere . Chains were dragged along the tl.oor, and now and then loud cries would resound through the rooms. The party was returned to normal with a sing-song. which was held .fter a few games had been played .

The altruistic pro/'cct undertaken by Nova Scotia A, the awarding of a scho arship to a woman student on entrance to Dalhousie University, met with success. The award was made to Miss Kathryn Murray. a Hal ifax girl of outstanding ability. character and charm .

AND-last but not least. Nova Scotia A is feeling justly proud th at one of her own very dear alumnllC has been appointed Province President of Alpha East Province. The chapter feels certain that this young lady lawyer, Eilen MacLean. will become iust as dear to the' members of all the other chapters in Alpha East in the ensuing months.

After an eventful spring and an exciting summer, Vermont A has settled down to fall rushing for the fi rst time in three years. It is ho~d that the reinauguration of first semester rushing in Middlebury will prove as effective here as on other campuses.

Last spring Pat MacFa rland and J ean Holmberg were elected to Mortar Board . This year Jeannie is Co-Chairman o{ M iddlebury 's annua l Cultural Conference. This Con­fe rence is held every spring and features discussions of cul ­tural. political, and economic subjects of both national and international interest.

Vermont A sent four representatives to Conference and they came back this fall with such fascinating tales that everyone wished that thev cou ld have gone. Pat MacFarland was the delegate. Jean Ho lmberg the alternate. and Kathy Pell and Jane Murdoch went along for the ride. It sounded like such fun!

This year Peg Drysdale is Co-Chairman of the annual Winter Carnival. Winter Carnival is run by The Mountain Club, of wh ich Peg h as been an active member {or four years . According to Peg.
