DEAR THETAS EVERYWHERE FEEL indeed honored in having this opportunity to send you a personal word of convention’s GREETING in behalf of the Minnesota Thetas. The Theta magazine, Bi¬ monthly , and special correspondence will give you all the details and make you, we hope, want to come to the land of ten thousand lakes in greater numbers than you have ever before journeyed to a gathering of the Theta clans. You really should, you know, in order to have the fraternity get its money’s worth in lakes alone. What other convention forsooth has been able to offer approximately ten lakes apiece to each and everyone of its guests ! But aside from the vacation attractions we have in abundance, I think that the women of the hostess state will make you want to be one of us, “not for a day, not for a month, not for a year, but AL¬ WAYS !” At any rate we are delighted with the chance to try, and each and every Theta in Minnesota joins me in welcoming you all to our corner of the Theta empire. Yours in Theta, Ruth Haynes Carpenter

Kaflfla Akpa 0ivra Volume 42 May, 1928 Number 4 CONVENTION "YEAR to nature’s heart” and “far from the madding 1^1 crowd” are two old-fashioned poetic quotations from ^ the sentimentalists which in spite of leanings toward realism and free verse today call to our minds visions full of the smell of pines, the splashing of water, the magic of vacation days and incidentally they give two good reasons why every one should be planning on the Theta convention this summer. The lure of woods and lakes, the joy of perfect fellowship, the thrill of quickened interest, and the fire of enthusiasm struck by con¬ tact with ardent Theta spirits — there ’s no resisting such a com¬ bination ! No other experience is like your fraternity convention — many people meeting as strangers yet closer than friends where, if ever, with both an outside and inside view point we see ourselves somewhat as others see us. The Theta type so often questioned about ? No, the many types, but all identified by the significant quality which Theta ideals add to character. The physical delights and benefits of convention are unques¬ tionable but I am particularly interested in what you are all going to bring to convention spiritually and mentally and what you are going to take away with you. Will you come with the idea of giving and getting the most for your chapter, with a keen interest in every part of the fraternity’s business, with a willingness to share your good ideas and plans, with a determi¬ nation that your chapter shall have the benefit of every good idea and plan you can take back to it? Are you coming with all your questions and problems clearly in mind to be solved so that next year your chapter can progress without the worry of them? Are you bringing everything tangible and in¬ tangible which will prove your chapter a working, creditable unit of the national organization ? Kappa Alpha Theta is fifty-eight years old — her purpose and ideals were formulated that many years ago and perhaps in no similar period of time has there been such change in modes

Page 4

372 Kappa Alpha Theta [May of living and thinking. Spiritual values do not change, how¬ ever, but to make those of the fraternity effective in individual and chapter life under modem conditions requires translation into the modern tongue. To demonstrate these inherent values and their working power today is the keynote of our convention. Conventions are expensive things — some question the relative benefit derived from them, but if you take away with you a realization of the necessity of every chapter’s complete coopera¬ tion in the national organization, in order to make the fraternity a physically united force for good in the world ; if you take back an understanding of true loyalty to fraternity principles, so that your chapter will be guided by them rather than by mis¬ interpreted loyalty to the chapter iself, by desire for social prestige, by group rivalry or by lazy indifference ; if you kindle in your mind and heart the flame of faithfulness to high pur¬ pose and the spirit of true sisterhood, so that you may be a shining light to your chapter the ensuing year, then the expense is small indeed for the value received. “May all that is light hearted and strong hearted in our festival crown our efforts and verify our dearest hopes.” Jessie Baldridge Lebrecht BRING YOUR SONG BOOK TO CONVENTION CONVENTION PLANS SUMMER comes on and our sporting blood begins to boil, the prospect of Breezy Point for a week in July -L seems almost too good to be true. All plans are made for the best convention we have ever had and there awaits only your participation in it. If you are not already numbered among the “planners,” turn to your March Kappa Alpha Theta and there learn all the preliminaries, as to Special train arrangements and hotel reservations. Below follows all you will need to know in addition, except in unusual cases. If you are an unusual case, write Mr William B. Byrne, Passenger agent, Burlington rail¬ road, 179 W. Jackson blvd. Chicago, about your travel diffi¬ culties; or to Mrs Yale B. Huffman, Broken Bow, Nebraska, about anything else you want to know. Special Train Our train leaves Chicago, as previously published, Saturday evening, July 14, over the Burlington. Connections for those

374 Kappa Alpha Theta [May There are some eastern stations which do not quote summer tourist rates to Pequot. The booklet sent out by the railroad to chapter secre¬ taries will give the nearest point from which such tickets may be pur¬ chased. In every case N.E.A. tickets may be bought to Minneapolis, and the summer ticket bought from there. Thetas from the West Coast, and Montana There will be a Theta party on the Northern Pacific train number 2, the crack North Coast Limited. This train leaves Spokane at 10 :50 p.m. July 13. Connecting trains leave Seattle over the Northern Pacific, and Portland over the Southern Pacific, each at 9:30 that morning. From Portland there will be a specially designated Theta car or cars, into which the Seattle people will be transferred after the two trains merge. The California Thetas are urged to come to Pequot via Portland and this train, unless they can arrange a schedule that will bring them into St. Paul, where they can join the Special train. This North Coast Limited arrives in Brainerd at 6:00 p.m. July 15. Arrangements have been made for immediate auto¬ mobile transportation to Breezy Point lodge, so do not buy rail tickets to Pequot. It is not feasible to use rail connections north from Brainerd for passengers from the west. The only train which will be met there by bus is this Northern Pacific number 2 on July 15. Visitors please bear this in mind. Reservations in this Theta party should be made to Mr A. D. Charlton, General passenger agent, Northern Pacific railway, Portland, Oregon, and should be in by June 15. The summer rate tickets from this section have St. Paul as destination. Passengers not wishing to go on to St. Paul may validate them in Brainerd. Hotel Bill and Registration Fee Please see the March magazine for rates and instructions. Bring with you a check or draft for the exact amount of your hotel bill. This will be collected on the train by a repre¬ sentative of the hotel, and thus save time and bookkeeping. In case you have to leave before convention closes there will be no difficulty about a refund. The credential committee will also collect the registration fee, which includes all convention incidentals, such as tips, ban¬ quet, daily paper, and so forth. This fee will approximate $7.50. It is suggested that those motoring, plan to arrive early Sun¬ day afternoon, that their hotel bill and credential committee

1928] Convention 375 session can be accomplished before the arrival of the special train at 4:30. Baggage Please remember to tag your baggage. Many of the cars coming from the south will be switched directly on to the Special train at St Paul. In such cars pas¬ sengers may leave their baggage in their sections. The Pullman conductor will tell you whether such is the case. For the cars which are not full enough to transfer, the passengers will take their baggage from the cars with them and deposit it in a space at the St Paul station which will be marked for Kappa Alpha Theta baggage. It will be taken in charge by a combination of Thetas and railroad men and put on the train, where you will find it when you board the Special at Minne¬ apolis. Do not bring a trunk unless it is necessary. If you must, be sure to send it a day ahead, properly tagged. Families Families who accompany Theta visitors into the Minnesota woods cannot be accommodated at Breezy Point Lodge, but have their choice of several nearby resorts where they can have a happy and interesting time while their relatives comport them¬ selves exclusively with their Theta sisters. These places are recommended : Grand View lodge, Gull Lake, Nisswa, Minnesota. Inwood, Gull Lake, Brainerd, Minnesota. Wascena lodge, Little Pelican Lake, Pequot, Minnesota. The rates at all of these approximate $5.00 a day. For book¬ lets and reservations write the manager of each lodge, at address above. ^ ~ Post Convention See March magazine for suggestion nearby resort. Yellowstone The Yellowstone party will leave Pequot in special sleepers at 11:43 a.m. on Saturday, July 21, and arrive at Gardiner at 5 :15 p.m. July 22. After a four and a half day automobile trip through the Park, including the beautiful drive through the U. S. Forest reserve into Cody, there will be a choice of two return routes, as follows : Leave, Cody, Wyo. — via C.B.&Q.R.R . 8:30 p.m. July 27 Arrive, St. Paul, Minn. — viaN.P.R.R . 8:00 a.m July 29 Leave, St. Paul, Minn. — via C.B.&Q.R.R . 8:30 a.m. July 29

From: Chicago, $61.07; St. Louis, $63.67; Omaha, $50.02; Kansas City, $54.22 ; St. Paul and Minneapolis, $50.27. Tickets may also be purchased to the west coast which include the Yellowstone stop-over. Lower berth from Pequot to Gardiner $11.25, upper berth $9.00. Four and one half days in Yellowstone Park, including meals, lodging and transportation: hotel way $54.00; lodges $45.00. Great Lakes For eastern visitors who feel that they must return home soon, but wish variety in that return, a personally conducted party has been arranged to go from Pequot to Duluth, and sail from there to Detroit on the fine lake steamer Iluronic. This party will board Pullmans the night after the banquet and get to Duluth the next morning for a day and a half of sight seeing before sailing time. During the three day trip down the lakes several stops will be made, which will help make the trip a delightful experience. This trip has been arranged by the Cos¬ mopolitan tours company and will be escorted by Miss Eugenia L. Schmidt, 812 Ludlow av. Cincinnati, a member of Alpha Tau chapter. Because of limited steajner accommodations early reservations should be made. The all-inclusive cost of this trip is $89. A $10 registration fee sent to Miss Schmidt will insure reservations. She will answer gladly, any and all questions as to details, ticket routing, and so forth, if one is interested in this possible trip. Teachers The National educational association meets in Minneapolis the first week in July, as many of you know. Why not plan to come to Minnesota for that, on the low railroad rates offered, rest a week at one of the resorts recommended for Theta families, and then join us at Breezy Point for a grand climax? It would be well to make reservations for such a plan early. Either the Nicollet or the Curtis hotels will take good care of you in Minneapolis.

1928] Convention 377 CHICAGO HICAGO, the city of beautiful boulevards, tall sky¬ scrapers, mounted police, and machine guns, invites you for a day. July 14, Chicago, Evanston, and South Side Chicago alum¬ nae will be joint hostesses to all Thetas on their way to conven¬ tion. Headquarters will be at the Palmer house, where Theta will have a suite of rooms at your disposal. When you arrive in Chicago come to the Palmer house, reg¬ ister, and we will direct you on what to see in Chicago. The day will be yours. Perhaps you will want to shop at Marshall Field’s, visit the Art institute or Field museum. Perhaps a bus trip up Sheridan road, through Lincoln park, with a continuous view of the cool waters of Lake Michigan will be your wish for the day. At 6 :30 there will be a dinner in the Red Lacquer room of the Palmer house. This will be a jolly getting acquainted party. Will you please make reservations for the dinner by July 10? The price will be $2.75. Notify Mrs Hubert Beck, Bryson Hotel, Chicago, Illinois. We look forward to your day with us and hope it will be a pleasant one. Edna Cork Drollinger TEN THOUSAND LAKES— IN CONVENTION LAND A SINGING CONVENTION FOR 1928 HERE are 10,000 lakes in Minnesota that have been counted, and 10,000 more that have not been counted, and every one of them requires a musical “ atmosphere” in which to reveal the true beauty of lake scenery. We Minne¬ sota Thetas expect you to see our lovely lakes in all their glory at Breezy Point and so we are going to ask you to provide an “Atmosphere” of Theta songs, knowing that there are no more lovely songs to be sung than our own fraternity songs. For those of you who are fortunate enough to be making a long journey there is a lot of fun in singing the Theta Special on page 103. It will begin: “We’re bound for Minnesota.” This song was written for the Special train that is always one of the most enjoyable features of convention and it is a sure sign of a confirmed conventionite when you hear a Theta hum that tune !

Page 10

378 Kappa Alpha Theta [May For ceremonial meetings, and the few we have are lovely, you will want to know the Chain song on page 25, and the Ban¬ quet processional on page 26. Every Theta should know the Hymn on page 1. The music for the model initiation will be the same as usual. For evening singing every one will enjoy numbers 39, 76, 105 (Twilight song), 99, 140 and 70. Other occasions will re¬ quire numbers 41, 80, 59, 130, 132 or 68. These numbers may not include the favorite songs of your chapter at all and for that reason the music of convention is going to be surprising and delightful to all. We will discover new songs that have been in the book all these years! There is a gold mine of Theta songs waiting to be discovered at this convention. We have had two new and lovely songs printed in the Journal since last convention and these new songs will be featured at Pequot. Get our your Journals for November 1925 and January 1926 and make your chapter familiar with them. And if your chapter has a song that has not been published SEND IT TO MRS C. MERRIAM STE¬ PHENS, 523 NORTH ASH ST. CROOKSTON, MINNESOTA, at once. A limited number of new songs can be presented at con¬ vention, so send along your song and give it a chance. If your chapter enjoys it, there may be a place for it in the life of others. Great things are expected of the contest. I am hoping that we will hear some new harmonic effects in familiar tunes. I am expecting some clever grouping of Theta songs in the medleys. And among the new songs I anticipate at least one that will be a permanent addition to the songs of Kappa Alpha Theta. La Belle M.

1928] Convention 379 WHAT TO PACK FOR CONVENTION ^UT\T THAT shall I take to convention ? ' ' That this ques- >X/X/ tion will be asked many times in the coming months v V is a logical assumption. Logical likewise, is the pre¬ sumption that most of these queries will relate to the number of hats and dresses, weight of coats, species of sports apparel ad¬ visable for a sorority convention in warm weather. Lest your packing ardor comes to an end in a maze of per¬ fumes and powders, compacts and cameras, scissors and slippers, we nominate for your essential equipment for convention: One determination to do your share in furthering Sigma Kappa 's progress in all lines. One alert interest in items of business submitted for this convention's consideration, and one comprehensive knowledge of your chapter's stand on all the matters. One complete understanding of business items submitted by your chapter. It is difficult to be nonchalant when your chapter is announced from the platform as the donor and you as de¬ fender of an item you never heard of. One usable knowledge of parliamentary law. It will help in saving time and trouble. One acquaintance with business discussed at previous con¬ ventions, that you will not be one to waste time by plodding over old battle grounds. One intimacy with the chapter roll, lest “Lambda feels" and “Psi believes" disturb you unduly. One familiarity with names and accomplishments of national officers. One inquisitive nature, to annex suggestions from other chap¬ ters successful in meeting certain of your problems. One retentive memory to hold correctly all discussions and decisions of convention for your chapter. If you cannot annex this, substitute an extra pencil and a larger notebook. One urge for friendships with girls from other chapters. One rested self, so that you may enter fully into the “extra¬ curricular" as well as regular convention activities without loss of time in catching up in sleep. One desire to derive all the fun possible from the conven¬ tion and the boat party. 2 K Triangle , March 1928 A SINGING CONVENTION— DON’T FORGET YOUR SONG BOOK

380 Kappa Alpha Theta [May DULUTH The Duluth Theta club will be most pleased to arrange sight¬ seeing drives and plan a luncheon, if delegates passing through Duluth will notify either Mrs Hugh J. McClearn, 2403 Somer¬ set av. Duluth, or Dorothy C. McKay, 2026 Jefferson st. Duluth, as to the time of their coming. Best wishes for a successful convention ! Dorothy C. McKay COSTUME PARTY AT CONVENTION Come to convention prepared for an Indian Pow-Wow. Be an Indian yourself or the country spectator in gaudy clothes, whichever suits your fancy. Hazel Lotze Whittaker (Mrs H. A.) 2506 Sheridan avenue south, Minneapolis, is to be in charge of this costume party. MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL The Minneapolis and St. Paul Thetas will be very glad to extend any courtesy which they can to any Theta coming to either city a few days before, or a few days following the con¬ vention. They would be pleased to know of your presence so that they can shop with you or show you about the cities, or just arrange luncheon, tea, or dinner with some other Thetas. Notify Mrs Willard A. Morse, 5109 Harriet avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mrs Morse’s telephone number is Locust 4864. ARE YOUR RESERVATIONS MADE FOR SPECIAL TRAIN AND HOTEL? THE KITE WILL FLY! HE convention daily newspaper, The Kite , will appear regularly every morning of convention, and will give all the news of all the business, and of all the fun. If you can’t go to convention, the next best thing is to get and read this convention messenger. Kite subscriptions are 50 cents for the entire volume, mailed anywhere. Subscriptions can be sent to the Grand secretary, L. P. Green, 13 East avenue, Ithaca, New York, who will pass them on to the paper’s business staff as soon as it is organized. If you are to be at convention, don’t send in a subscription, as your registration fee will include a Kite subscription. But if you aren’t going, or if you want an extra set of papers to

BRING YOUR SONG BOOK TO CONVENTION HAS KAPPA ALPHA THETA GROWN? x% U6UST 25-28, 1903 — just a quarter of a century ago — /_\ Minnesota Thetas entertained the fifteenth Grand con- jLjSl. vention of Kappa Alpha Theta in Minneapolis. To this convention came 22 official college chapter delegates, and eleven official alumnae chapter delegates. The Grand council had seven members (actually five, as two members were doubling in two positions) — a president, three vice-presidents (the presidents of the three districts then existing) a secretary, an editor, and a treasurer. The credentials committee reported “49 visiting delegates present”. (We strongly suspect they ‘forgot' to include the hostess Thetas in this count.) We ask you — what is the size of the official delegation for the 1928 con¬ vention? what are you doing to get more than 49 visiting Thetas there? The Grand treasurer's report in 1903 showed a balance before convention of $1,787.07 in the fraternity's one account. The state of that treasury after convention forms one of the tragic episodes in Theta history, though it was the situation from which evolved the present sound financial system. Com¬ pare these figures with those in the 1927 annual report — total worth $105,242.18, distributed thus: general fund, $16,866.61; endowment, $87,319.21 ; contingent fund, $295.92 ; Friendship fund, $760.44. Beside, there is the Scholarship fund of approxi¬ mately forty-five thousand dollars. No high finance will be necessary to pay for the 1928 convention ! CONVENTION SIDE SHOWS— AQUATIC SPORTS, COSTUME PARTY Psi has broken the record at the University of Wisconsin by having four queens of university events in one year: Betty Failing, Junior prom queen; Mary McGowan, Beaux arts ball queen; Martha Brown, honorary colonel of the Military ball; and Elizabeth Evans, Skyrockets prom queen, all in 1927-28.

ALUMNAE NOTES Associate Alumnae Secretaries HE king is dead. Long live the king!” Never have I so appreciated the feeling in these sentences as now when I am losing one most efficient, loyal, and lovable associate alumnae secretary and gaining another who has proven as a state chairman to possess the same qualities. Some eighteen years from now a Theta college chapter will be proud to initiate Anne Darrough, a Theta daughter and granddaughter. Now, however, Baby Anne and her older brother, who has already been to a Theta convention by the way, are the reasons why their mother, Margaret Archdeacon Darrough, is no longer able to serve as our associate alumnae secretary. Margaret has been the only one to hold this office since it was created at the West Baden convention in 1924, and how ably she has filled it her frequent Journal articles and the friendly letters that many have received from her testify. It is a joy to work with her always. Coral Merchant Lowe was Pennsylvania's chairman from 1925 to 1927. As a member of our Allegheny chapter, later of the Pittsburgh alumnae chapter and then of the Harrisburg Theta club, of which, as well as of the Erie club, she was the founder, Coral Lowe has been always an enthusiastic Theta, one with a gift, too, of passing on her enthusiasm to others. Last winter, her daughter Esther was initiated into Theta by our William and Mary chapter, so the new associate alumnae secretary will be sure to have a warm spot in her heart for college as well as for alumnae chapters. New Clubs Oklahoma gives us two new clubs this spring. Nine Thetas in Shawnee are meeting twice a month, so much do they enjoy one another; and another small, enthusiastic group in Ponca City has also recently organized. Through some misunderstanding and moving about of secre¬ taries two clubs were temporarily lost to us. We are glad to have back on our roll the San Antonio club that helped Alpha Theta so well in her rushing last fall, and the Pullman club that means much always to Alpha Sigma. Six Thetas in or near Moscow, Idaho, have just organized as a club, too. They will be a great help to Beta Theta, particularly as each one of the six is serving as an advisor of some sort to

Page 15

1928] Alumnce notes 383 the college chapter. Isn’t that an admirable arrangement from both points of view? Founders ’-day Parties May I add three more to the stories of Founders ’-day gatherings given in the last Jour naif The Sacramento Valley Thetas had “a really gorgeous party, seventeen present, and all most enthusiastic in the home of Mrs Fred Meier.” In the Arkansas Valley our Theta club entertained the Theta mothers at lunch and spent the afternoon sewing for Beta Iota’s new house. Twelve Thetas, four from Upsilon and the other eight from eight widely scattered chapters, gathered around “a gor¬ geous centerpiece of allamanda blossoms arranged in a huge black Italian bowl” to celebrate Founders ’-day in far away Honolulu. A New Alumnae Chapter Oklahoma is surely doing her very best to make up to the fraternity for Margaret Darrough’s necessary resignation, for aside from its two new clubs it will boast soon of another alumnae chapter. The petition from the Tulsa club for an alumnae chapter charter has just been granted. Always a new alumnae chapter is most welcome, and we anticipate meeting Tulsa’s convention delegate next July. Hope Davis Mecklin Annual State Letters Letters from state chairmen are beginning to come in, and what fun it is to get news of all kinds and conditions of Thetas, from New York, Kentucky, Florida and the far corners of Theta- dom. I like to get out my map and locate the chapters and clubs the chairmen tell about, see how far they are from each other, and wonder why there aren’t more, in many cities where there must be as many as five Thetas at least. I wish all of us could get away from the one chapter idea of the fraternity, and see what a far reaching organization we are. Our present influence is huge, and our potential influence tremendous: aside from the large factor in all our alumnae groups, the fun we have together. Theta friendships are deep and lasting because of the background of mutual ideals and experiences. It is when I think of the pleasure so many Thetas are missing that I want to get militant in my agitation for more alumnae chapters, more clubs, and more alumnae board members. It helps us keep young and makes us giggle, which is so good for our souls and our dispositions.

Page 16

384 Kappa Alpha Theta [May Fifty-one alumnae chapters doing ambitious and worth while things for college chapters, for charity and for scholarship. Fifty-one clubs with elastic programs to suit the individual groups. It must be worth it or there wouldn’t be so many. The only puzzle is how the rest of you keep yourselves away. Margaret Archdeacon Darrough A SINGING CONVENTION— DON’T FORGET YOUR SONG BOOK THE HOUSE OF THE GOLDEN WINDOWS THERE was once a lad who lived in a house in a beautiful valley. Far above and to the west lay a long line of hills and on the summit of one of these hills stood a house. The little boy loved to look at this house at sunset for then the windows were changed to gold and he thought how wonderful it would be to live in the House of the Golden Windows. He asked his mother for permission to be allowed to go and visit the House of the Golden Windows and she pi’omised that some day when he had grown older he could make the journey. Finally the day came when he set out on his journey carry¬ ing his knapsack. He walked all day and just when the sun was setting he came to the place where he knew the House of the Golden Windows must be. Instead of a palace he saw a rude cottage with only very ordinary windows. In the yard was a small boy about his own age who came to the gate when he saw the stranger coming down the road. “I am looking for the House of the Golden Windows,” said the boy from the valley. “Oh,” answered the mountain lad, ‘‘I know where that is!” Taking his visitor by the arm he led him to the edge of the hill. “There,” he said, pointing to a house in the valley, “there is the House of the Golden Windows. I watch it every evening when the sun sets and wish that I lived in the valley in the House of the Golden Windows.” The little lad from the valley looked and saw nothing for the house in the valley which was to the mountain boy the beauti¬ ful home was none other than his own home, its windows now ablaze with the gold of the setting sun. “So we, too, may be living in the House of the Golden Win¬ dows and not know it. We may not realize the benefit of the associations which make our daily life in our fraternity so pleas¬ ant and so beautiful.” — Reimann in A K A Logos, March ’28

BETA RHO INSTALLATION CALENDAR OF EVENTS FEBRUARY 17, 1928 at 4 o’clock twenty-five members of Sigma Tau of Duke university were pledged to Kappa Alpha Theta. The service was at Mary Scanlon’s home in Durham. Dorothy Miller Humphrey, president of District XI, conducted the service. Twenty-three Thetas from many differ¬ ent chapters took part in the service. The Raleigh-Durham alumna? club entertained with a delightful buffet supper im¬ mediately following pledging. Initiation for the alumnae, and senior and junior classes took place that night at nine o’clock in the Duke university Union building. The Grand treasurer, Mrs Grasett, and the Grand secretary, Miss Green, were the presiding officers, with Mrs Sarah Cady Patten, Alpha Epsilon, state chairman of the Caro- linas, acting as chaplain; Edna Rising Jackson, Kappa, as head marshal; and Lucy Grasty, Alpha Eta, at the piano. The sophomore and freshman classes were initiated Saturday at one o’clock. That afternoon the new Theta chapter, Beta Rho, gave a delightful tea at Southgate hall, the girls’ dormitory, in honor of visiting officers and delegates. The final ceremony, and the most inspiring, the installation of the chapter, was conducted by Miss Green, assisted by Mrs Humphrey. Each girl received her shingle ; Beta Rho received its charter, and Kappa Alpha Theta added another link to its strong chain. The long line of Thetas then marched to the banquet hall to celebrate this joyous occasion. Evalina McCauley Daniels, Alpha Eta, was a clever and charming toastmistress. All were impressed with this attractive new group of Thetas and, as Mrs Grasett told them in her toast, felt they were al¬ ready fullfledged members of Kappa Alpha Theta. Members of Kappa Alpha Theta who took part in the in¬ stallation: Dorothy Miller Humphrey, Kappa, president Dis¬ trict XI; Jeanette Bligh Grasett, Tau, Grand treasurer; L. Pearle Green, Phi, Grand secretary; Rachel Williams, Beta Beta; Mrs Helen Scanlon Wright, Alpha Eta; Frances Williams, Alpha Eta; Lucy Grasty, Alpha Eta; Amelia Adams, Alpha; Mrs Sarah Cady Patten, Alpha Epsilon; Mary McGee Smith,

But what the girls lost on quan¬ tity they certainly have more than made up on quality, for Beta Rho girls are as charming a group of girls as one could hope to know. And the lovely part is that they really made you feel that you did know them. The true bond of Theta sisterhood brought us together and each ceremony strengthened the bond a little more. Almost as charming as the girls however, was the beautiful country in the midst of which Duke university lay. The spa¬ cious campus, beautiful buildings, the hills and woods, and the lovely drives added much to the pleasure of our visit. Beta Rho — Beta Nu welcomes you with open arms and a loving heart. Melisse Darby, Beta Nu Kappa Alpha Theta could hardly have chosen a more de¬ sirable location to establish her youngest child — Beta Rho. The nature of a child should be to grow “in stature, in wisdom" and in favor. To what extent this is realized depends partly on the child itself and partly on the environment. Beta Rho is a chapter full of personality and promise. The members are charming, gracious, and intellectually alert. As for the environment — Duke university, with its splendid endow¬ ment and generous expansion both planned and under way, is

Page 47

1928] Beta Rho 415 ideal. It certainly seems that Beta Rho is well able and likely to grow in all desirable ways. Ruth Richmond Burr, Alpha Eta Have you ever asked yourself which part of a trip you en¬ joyed most and found that you couldn’t quite decide? Each part of the trip to Duke seemed more exciting than the one before and my final conclusion was that it was everything in general that made installation such a great success. Our new sisters are twenty-four of the most attractive girls to be found anywhere, and so very enthusiastic too. The Raleigh-Durham alumnse club did so much, not only toward helping Beta Rho prepare for Thetahood, but also to add to the pleasure of Theta guests. Could any of us ever forget that de¬ licious buffet supper? Then pledging, initiation, and installation services were so beautifully and impressively conducted by Miss Green, Mrs Humphrey and Mrs Grasett. It was quite an event for most of us to meet our national officers, whom we had heard so much about, but had not had the pleasure of knowing. Thanks to Duke for so many wonderful things! Martha Wilson, Alpha Phi The group of Beta Rho charter members are a happy com¬ bination of all the types of girls which compose an ideal Theta chapter. They all are charming upon first appearance, and de¬ lightful to know better. Not only are they attractive girls, but they are intensely interested in all phases of college activities, which is always a great advantage for any chapter. On the inside, the girls were congenial and happy. On the outside they had many friends belonging on campus, and were highly commended both by students at large and by members of the faculty. I was also struck by the promising future of Duke. In sev¬ eral years I believe it will be the university of the South. An increasing number of girls will be enrolled each year, which will call necessarily for more fraternities. Our girls will have obtained a firm footing and we can congratulate ourselves for knowing when to seize upon a real opportunity. Elizabeth Fuller, Beta Beta When I learned to know the Beta Rho girls in the three days that I was at Duke, I realized how fortunate Kappa Alpha

Page 48

416 Kappa Alpha Theta [May Theta is to have such a chapter installed at Duke. Not only were the girls attractive but their hospitality made us feel at home from the first. They are all girls whom Kappa Alpha Theta should be proud to call her own. I only wished that more Thetas could have been there and could have known them as we did. It was a treat to those of us who did not know them before, to meet and know Miss Green, Mrs Grasett, Mrs Humphrey, and others of whom we have heard so much in our Kappa Alpha Theta world. These are now no longer mere names to us but we have become acquainted with them and can in a better way understand just what they mean to Kappa Alpha Theta and just what they are doing for her. Although Miss Green and Mrs Grasett had been through the initiation service an infinite number of times, they made it so real, so earnest, and so im¬ pressive, that no one present could fail to feel the sacredness of it. It was with regret that the small band broke up on Sunday, each to go her own way. The week-end had given us a glimpse into the rest of the Theta world, into what they are doing, and introduced us to the girls themselves. It had given to us a new chapter — Beta Rho. To her we wish success. Elizabeth Sexton, Beta Lambda AN OFFICIAL OPINION Impressions are such vague things at times, but my impres¬ sions of the installation of Beta Rho chapter at Duke university are quite distinct. They are a perfectly splendid group of girls, well organized with a fine spirit of unity and loyalty that should develop into a banner chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta. We may well be proud of them. The Raleigh-Duke alumnae club have helped tremendously in solving a good many prob¬ lems and we are exceedingly fortunate in having such alumnae actively interested in this new group. The university is developing rapidly. There are many new buildings and a steadily increasing faculty. Our welcome on this campus seemed unanimous. The uni¬ versity gave us the entire upper floor of the new Union build¬ ing for our services and student body and faculty turned out en masse to the tea given for the installing officers by the new chapter. I know that every Theta wishes this new chapter success and happiness in her new affiliation — and I am sure that we as

Page 49

1928] Beta Rho 417 Thetas, may count Beta Rho a chapter worthy of Kappa Alpha Theta. Jeanette Grasett, Grand Treasurer NORTH CAROLINA THETAS WELCOME BETA RHO What does it mean to Kappa Alpha Theta to have a college chapter in North Carolina? This Theta could better tell what it means to us few alumnae to have a college chapter nearby. One advantage which the fraternity derives through Beta Rho is the lessening of the distance between the links of her chain of chapters. Heretofore there has been no college chapter between Virginia and Florida ; between Tennessee and Louisiana. The two southernmost chapters have been completely isolated. They are still too far away, and it is to be hoped that other chapters may be established within the intervening distance. Duke university has an immense endowment and is using it wisely. The building program, ambitious as it is, is not more so than the standard set for a faculty of the best available men. The university is destined to become one of the foremost in the country and Kappa Alpha Theta is fortunate in securing a foot¬ hold there. Perhaps Theta’s greatest gain will accrue from her introduc¬ tion to this progressive state. North Carolinians have been, for the most part, locally-minded. They do not know that such fraternities as ours exist. When I told a friend, a brilliant and genuinely cultured woman, that I was going to Durham to spend three days with my fraternity sisters she was amazed that I, who have been twenty years out of college, should so eagerly anticipate this installation of a college fraternity. Her daughters had been sorority girls at the best junior college in the state but their “ sorority” interests had been put away as childish things when they returned from college. I tried to explain that Kappa Alpha Theta holds true worth and merit for mature women as well as for college girls but I fancy that she is still sceptical. May the time soon come when one may wear the Kite abroad in the “Land of the Long Leaf Pine” and have it recognized as something more than an odd piece of jewelry! Alice Templin Rankin, Kappa SIGMA TAU HISTORY 1924-1928 Sigma Tau was established secretly at Trinity college in the late fall of 1924 with eight members. Plans were made for

Page 50

418 Kappa Alpha Theta [May the petitioning of the national fraternity, Kappa Alpha Theta, this being the object of the group in organizing. College authorities prevented the formal announcement of the new fra¬ ternity during the college year 1924-25, since the policy toward new organizations of this type was not then fully determined. So, Sigma Tau was unable at that time to present any formal petition to Kappa Alpha Theta. In December 1925, the group was allowed to be formally an¬ nounced as a local fraternity, as the authorities of the uni¬ versity had decided to allow locals to organize. In January the local group was recognized by the Panhellenic council of Duke university, and given equal representation with the national fraternities represented at Duke. At this time a formal petition was sent to Kappa Alpha Theta, the Durham-Raleigh Theta club sponsoring the petition. In the spring of 1927 the organization received district endorse¬ ment from nearby chapters of Kappa Alpha Theta, and the fall of 1927 marked the issue from national office of the final peti¬ tion to the chapters. The results of this final vote, and the en¬ dorsement of the Grand council of Kappa Alpha Theta granted the charter to Sigma Tau on December 8, 1927. Elizabeth MacFadden, Beta Rho BETA RHO OF KAPPA ALPHA THETA— 1928 Beta Rho has led a busy life since installation, trying to get all of the routine business of the chapter arranged and running smoothly. Bylaws have been drawn up and adopted; new offi¬ cers have been elected. Beta Rho is fortunate in having as its new president, Mary Scanlon, under whose leadership a suc¬ cessful 1928-29 is assured. Beta Rho was glad to affiliate Rachel Williams, Beta Beta, who as a Duke student for two years has been our true friend and helper. Honors that have come to Beta Rho recently include: Mil¬ dred Holton initiated into Eko-L, honorary scholastic organiza¬ tion; Lillian Rogers, Rebecca Kirkpatrick, and Mildred Holton initiated into Kappa Delta Pi, national educational fraternity; Helen Jenkins initiated into Chi Delta Phi, literary society; Margaret Royall elected vice-president of the Y.W.C.A. Helen Jenkins, chairman of Vespers committee, and Elizabeth Mac- Fadyen, assistant treasurer and manager of the “Y” store, will also be Cabinet members of Y.W.C.A. In order to promote interest in higher scholastic achieve-

Page 51

1928] Beta Rho 419 ments, Beta Rho has instituted a custom of two scholarship bracelets to be handed down each year. One bracelet is to be awarded to the member attaining the highest scholarship record in the chapter, and the other to the pledge with best record. The first Theta wedding for Beta Rho occurred March 23, when Mabel Welton was married to Oscar Eugene Ross, a former Duke student and member of Delta Sigma Phi. Elizabeth MacFadyen, Beta Rho DUKE UNIVERSITY Growth is certain for Duke university; large funds have already been set aside for building expansion; at Durham, North Carolina, the seat of the university, there is now under way the greatest stone masonry project ever undertaken in America. This is to be the principal unit of the university, one with 44 handsome buildings erected on a new campus consisting of nearly 5,000 wToodland acres. The old Trinity campus has been the scene of miraculous transformation since Trinity changed its name to Duke and took on the program of a university. New buildings have risen and landscape architects have placed the finishing touches on what is now a beautiful campus. In its great program of expansion Duke is not forgetting women students. This old but completely changed campus is to be eventually turned over to the co-ordinate college for women, with a capacity for 1,800 young women. For Duke there will be no restricted sphere of influence and service. Equipment and buildings will be provided for two great units; one will be for the college of arts and science, the medical, religion, engineering, and other graduate schools ; the other for the co-ordinate college for women. The two units are to* be one mile apart, but con¬ nected by a beautiful boulevard which will not leave the uni¬ versity property. For a third of a century women have matriculated at Duke university, and today there are 350 women students among an enrollment of 1,800 students. Duke women have always been outstanding in both curricular and extra-curricular activities; they led the way to the establishment of student government; Duke alumnae have taken a high place in professional and civic affairs. Today there are seven times as many applications for enrollment as the university can accept with limited facilities for women students. When the second large unit is completed,

Page 52

Kappa Alpha Theta 420 [May however, and the co-ordinate college for women is turned over to them there will be ample facilities, it is believed. Duke's faculty includes a number of scholars of international reputation. Scientists, historians, psychologists, and authorities in many fields have been invited to come to Duke and share in its unrestricted opportunity for research, study, and instruction. The new Duke library is being prepared to hold one million volumes; the law library will have a capacity for 200,000 volumes. The Duke medical school hospital will have 350 beds, and is expected to readily rate as one of the premier schools of medi¬ cine in the world. This school has a special endowment of $10,000,000.

NATIONAL PANHELLENI CONGRESS OING to National Panhellenic congress is a most interest¬ ing experience, though there is a difference between being alternate and enjoying the spectator's viewpoint, as I did when attending before, and trying to take “L. Pearle’s” place as delegate this time in Boston. It savored of attempting to make my mortal foot fit the seven league boots. In no other capacity is an officer required so individually to represent the whole fraternity and one’s qualifications are viewed with hu¬ mility in the light of such requirement. However, the value at the heart of National Panhellenic is the spirit of understanding — sympathetic, intelligent understanding — meeting friends, mak¬ ing friends — so that the most inexperienced of representatives who brings a sincere and thoughtful attitude of mind toward fraternity issues cannot fail to gain a broader comprehension of fraternity service in general and both practical and inspira¬ tional help for her own national group. Boston was full of educational interests that week — superin¬ tendents of schools, Deans of women, specialized department heads and others — and it was interesting to consider how naturally National Panhellenic fitted in with them, since our own organization was occupied with all these phases of student life, administrative, social and scholastic, as well as supplying a substitute for the comfort, culture and protection of the home. In this conference one could not fail to be impressed with the unselfish purpose of the fraternities and the untiring study and effort on the part of the officers to carry out this program of service however short it may fall of perfection, so far, in the eyes of their opponents. Business sessions, round table discussions of invigorating informality, illuminating surveys, exhibits of methods and ma¬ terials — these were the practical facts of the program but all these supplemented by interchange of organization ideas, in¬ formation as to extension fields, solutions for campus problems, establishment of friendly personal contacts and other innumer¬ able by-products of as great value as the regular order of the congress work. The purpose of the fraternities links itself so closely with the college life that the opportunity of having contact with the conference of Deans of women, meeting in Boston at the same time, was most appreciated. Deans attending the congress sessions, the individual conferences possible, the joint meeting

Page 54

422 Kappa Alpha Theta [May with its fine representative speakers from both groups brought about a feeling of increased cooperation and a better compre¬ hension of the differing courses by which both approach the same ultimate goal. One of the most important and probably least known of the activities of National Panhellenic is described as the committee on nationalization and eligibility of local groups which means working with local groups who wish to organize as nationals, with new nationals who need advice, protection and encourage¬ ment in perfecting their plans of administration, and sponsor¬ ing those nationals who are practically ready and eager to become members of National Panhellenic until they achieve their admission. This is really constructive work and evidences the feeling on the part of National Panhellenic fraternities that, themselves enjoying the privileges of congenial companionship, the advantages of group living and the inspiration of fraternity idealism, they wish to assist others to the same happiness and profit. The fraternity groups form a circle whose duty it is to have faces turned outward. They live their ideals by aiding those who are not, as well as those who are, of their own circle. With the strength and advantage which come from joined hands, their faces should be turned outward that their helpfulness may be widespread. Jessie Baldridge Lebrecht CONVENTION SIDE SHOWS— AQUATIC SPORTS, COSTUME PARTY THE SOCIAL SIDE OF NATIONAL PANHELLENIC ATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONGRESS has many values — but to my mind one of the most important is ^ ^ the opportunity for delegates to meet each other on a common ground, giving each one a new realization of the fra¬ ternity world: its extent, its values, and its desires for the future. This friendly spirit and cooperation of the various fraternity officers is gained from close associations through the five days of the congress. Breakfasting and lunching together and mixing up quite extensively into different groups having certain spe¬ cific duties in common, for instance, the editors, the heads of

Page 55

1928] Chapter houses 423 central offices, and so forth, all go toward making such a spirit. Then there were two main social features at the Boston Panhellenic. First, the trip to the Balfour plant. We were taken by special train to Attleboro, Massachusetts. Here, after a delightful tea we were divided into small groups and taken through the plant, where we saw the entire process of making fraternity badges. An elaborate dinner was served, at which souvenirs of leather pocket books and note books were given each one. We were entertained during the banquet by members of the Bal¬ four staff. A special train carried us back to Boston, com¬ pletely worn out, but delighted with our experiences. The second social feature of this congress was the banquet given by the Boston city Panhellenic at the Statler hotel. Mrs R. J. Dunkle of Boston presided and introduced Louise Leonard, retiring chairman, and Irma Tapp, incoming chairman. A delightful pageant, written by two members of Boston Panhellenic, followed. This depicted briefly the founding of each fraternity, each group being presented in the costume of the period in which it was founded. The friendships and contacts made during this congress will do much, I am sure, towards overcoming feelings of jealousy and rabid competition, and towards perfecting a spirit of co¬ operation and mutual helpfulness among fraternities. Jeanette Grasett BRING YOUR SONG BOOK TO CONVENTION CHAPTER HOUSE NEWS THE opening of the second semester, Beta Lambda moved into a chapter house. Every Sunday afternoon is -A JA“0pen house” with Beta Lambda. The contract for Beta Omicron’s chapter house was signed March 18, and foundations are now being laid. April 14 is a gala day for Kappa Alpha Theta : On that day a formal housewarming welcomed University of Colorado fac¬ ulty, students, and Boulder town friends, to Beta Iota’s new house, the most recently completed Kappa Alpha Theta chapter house. And Somerville day, April 14, at Swarthmore, there* was a house warming for the new Women’s student building and the women’s fraternity lodges, tea being served by the under-

TEN THOUSAND LAKES— IN CONVENTION LAND NEW YORK CITY PANHELLENIC HOUSE HE Panhellenic house will be ready for occupancy in October, 1928. As the building progresses it is more interesting than we had imagined. The sun-light, good air and extensive views of the river are beyond expectation. The cream colored brick is making a building of warmth and distinction, in which it will be a joy to live. The furniture in the rooms will be bright, cheery and comfortable. On a typical floor there are seven rooms with private baths, and twelve rooms with six baths, each occupant sharing a bath with one other person. On the first floor on First avenue will be six useful shops opening into the house, and an attractive dining room. On the second floor is a Social room, which will be attractively fur¬ nished, and will seat four hundred and fifty persons. Directly over it is the roof garden — an outside uncovered porch exposed to the sun, which consequently will afford unusual opportunity for air and exercise. On the top floor is the solarium with a balcony on all sides with magnificent views. In the morning a cafeteria breakfast, and in the evening a good dinner will be served, and a luncheon for those who stay home. If you go to see the house you will be thrilled with its size, location, advantages, and outlook. Arrangements for a bus line on Forty-ninth and Fiftieth streets are progressing. A subway is now under construction across town under Fifty-third street and East River. A branch post office has been opened recently on Third avenue between Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth streets, known as Sutton place post office. There is a First avenue association of twenty influential men who are losing no opportunity to promote the avenue. Every one is prophesying that First avenue in the near future will be another Park avenue. It is now time to decide whether you are going to live in the

IN MEMORIAM Zola Dellecker Gantt, Rho Zola Dellecker Gantt, Rho ’07, died at her home in Berkeley, California, February 24, after a long illness. Zola Dellecker was an active and successful Theta while in college, a good campus citizen crowned by Mortar board in her senior year. True to her type, she continued her interest in her Alma mater and her fraternity, and was always a loyal and interested alumna. __ __ M. C. H. In the death of Zola Dellecker Gantt (Mrs Robert A.), Berkeley alumnae chapter mourns the opportunity of knowing better one whose charm and tact combined with her rich intelli¬ gence instantly attracted its members to her. Her husband’s career, to which she was loyally devoted, took them to live in a number of cities throughout the country and gave her contacts with many Thetas and a wide circle of friends who grieve over her untimely death. The home which is broken by her going has been one of ideal happiness and finest tradition. In her daughter Nancy her life will be carried on to completion. The courage and carefulness of her last years have been an inspiration to all. _ . Lenore 0 Connor Charlotte Clark Hurst, Gamma Mrs Hurst died unexpectedly in February. She was initiated in 1928, and was much beloved during her three years at Butler. Guenivere Landis, Chi Guenivere Landis, a member of last year’s senior class, died at her home in Deland, Florida, after an illness of over a year. “Guen” was one of the best loved members of our chapter. Her gracious manner, beautiful spirit and loyal devotion to the ideals of Kappa Alpha Theta made her a personality whose passing has left a vacant place in the hearts of all her sisters.

1928] In memoriam 427 Helen Clark Johnson, Beta Through the death of Helen Clark Johnson, Beta, Burling¬ ton alumnae lost an “earnest, faithful and enthusiastic” mem¬ ber. Young, courageous, knowing better than any one else the insecurity of her hold on life, yet with all, happy, always bravely smiling, a true friend, a girl we all admired and loved. Her interest in Lambda was as keen as that of us who have simply stepped from the college to the alumnae chapter as the natural order of things, and she entered whole heartedly into all the activities of the Burlington alumnae. Helen Clark Johnson was a true Theta, her ideals were Theta's ideals. Jean Figh Crawford, Alpha Theta Jean Figh Crawford was born in Dallas, Texas, December 16, 1889. She finished high school in 1907 and entered the University of Texas in the fall of the same year. She pledged Kappa Alpha Theta almost immediately, and notwithstanding her social popularity, she put her whole heart into her college work. At the end of four years she was qualified to teach lan¬ guages, and for several years held important positions. In June 1917, Jean married Merlin C. Crawford of Calvert, Texas, who met a tragic death February 10, 1928. Words are not warm enough to express the loss that all Texas Thetas feel at the passing of our precious Jean. She was a loyal Theta, a sincere friend, a devoted wife and mother, and more than these a genuine Christian. Had she not been she could not have met the exigencies of life which befell her. Her smile could penetrate a flood of tears, and her gratitude instead of bitterness was another of her sterling qualities. A Theta personality such as Jean's cannot be lost for it must reappear in years to come in the lives of her two little daughters, Jean and Patricia. Ida Preston Nichols, Iota Mrs Nichols died in Cocoanut Grove, Florida, March 12. Her gracious friendliness, and the charming hospitality of the Nichols home will be missed by Thetas of Iota active and Ithaca alumnae. Theta friends extended sympathy to — Flora Shanklin Boynton (Mrs A. J.) whose husband, professor of economics at University of Kansas, died suddenly

THE EDITOR EXPLAINS OPY! Copy! Copy! is the constant cry of the editor. In March this cry was so well heeded that there is one drawer full of excellent copy just waiting a chance to be published. It makes one wish, almost, that the “dead line for annual magazine requirements” came oftener than April's Fool day, with which it now coincides. Thanks go from a grate¬ ful editor, to all who have helped fill this drawer. And now a word to explain why college chapter letters, ex¬ cept for some vital news extracted for specific news sections, and alumnae annual chapter letters do not appear in this issue. For the sake of those who attend convention, and, it is hoped, to interest also the stay-at-home Thetas, it seemed desirable to make this issue a convention picture gallery, as it were. But — the state of the magazine budget this late in the fraternity year, made it necessary to choose between pictures and copy, if the picture gallery was to be a fact. Pictures won. However, copy won't be wasted. The editor has long desired to experiment with an issue which should draw word pictures of the college and alumnae chapter life. The expected leisure (?) of vacation days, will give an opportunity to draw such a picture of college life this spring from the chapter letters; and to draw a composite picture of alumnae chapter activity from the alumnae chapter letters. (If, through some slip, your editor hasn't sent in the usual May letter, better have her send it even yet, or your members will be disappointed next fall, not to see their chapter mentioned in the picture of the fra¬ ternity at work in March 1928.) For similar reason — the picture gallery character of this issue — the delightful sketches of some (all that were received) of the convention delegates are omitted too — but they will not be wasted, as they will be eagerly studied by convention officers, as a basis for program assignments and convention plans in general. So again — Thanks for the copy! L.

GRAND COUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENTS ON APRIL 17 a charter was issued establishing Tulsa alumnae chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta. There are twen¬ ty-two charter members, representing Eta, Mu, Kappa, Alpha Eta, Alpha Theta, Alpha Pi, Alpha Omicron, and Beta Zeta. All Thetas who may come to live in or near Tulsa are invited to join this chapter, which starts off strong, because it has had the experience of three years ' organization as an en¬ thusiastic Theta alumnae club. Mrs Louise Bontecou McKinney has been elected to the presi¬ dency of District IV. While regretting to lose Mrs Lape from the official staff, we welcome Mrs McKinney. Tulsa alumnae was established so late that its delegate could not be elected in time for her picture to appear in this maga¬ zine's pictorial; and Mrs McKinney's election was so late that her picture is missing too. But meet them each at convention — and later see their faces in the magazine. IS YOUR NAME ON A ROLL LIKE THIS? An alumna? chapter roll is a most remarkable record. Read it aloud and how many of the names mean a thing to you? An inscribed name is all that so many girls have left; perhaps it should be called a memorial, as the inscription on a gravestone is called. But the working alumnae chap¬ ter should add below the name inscribed, the following, as their memorial to them: They never respond to letters; They never come back; They never send any advice; They never send any financial aid for the new house; They never encourage the undergraduate chapter; They make the alumnae chapter pay their personal dues; They are no more; they are gone. — Alpha Gamma Delta Quarterly A SINGING CONVENTION— DON’T FORGET YOUR SONG BOOK

Scholarship Fund UNDERGRADUATE LOANS— INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS Loans are not less than $50, nor more than $500 to one person. They may be taken in one installment, or two or three, as the applicant desires. Interest is four per cent, payable annually. Security is asked in the shape of two endorsements of the note by financially responsible members of the appli¬ cant’s chapter, college or alumnae. Loans are payable within two years after the bene¬ ficiary has left college. This fund is open to all undergraduate Thetas. Application blanks may be obtained from the presi¬ dent of your District, or from the secretary of the Scholarship fund committee, 915 Victoria av. Los An¬ geles, Calif. Application blanks when properly filled out should be sent to the secretary of the committee, to¬ gether with an official transcript of scholarship record. A personal letter explaining fully any unusual circum¬ stances will greatly assist the committee in a prompt consideration of an application for a loan. The necessary correspondence for arranging a loan takes three or four weeks, so ample time should be al¬ lowed if money is needed for a special purpose, such as registration fees. Inquiries are welcome and information is gladly fur¬ nished by the secretary. A gift to the Fund is a gift to Kappa Alpha Theta in perpetuity. It is never spent; it will come in and go out innumerable times, and its value to the present and future members and to the fraternity as a whole is in¬ calculable. All checks, whether for interest, loans, or gifts to the Fund, should be made payable to the Los Angeles Alum¬ nae of Kappa Alpha Theta and sent to the Financial Sec¬ retary, Miss Ray Hanna, 3718 W. 21st st., Los Angeles, Calif.
