KAPPA ALPHA THETA University of Toronto Doorway March, Nineteen Thirty ^all 1 - _ 1 Newest Theta State THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AN EARLY effort to create the University of British Columbia failed, and in order to offer first year arts, the Vancouver high school was affiliated with McGill university, and Victoria high school became Victoria college by affiliating with McGill. In 1906 an act was passed permitting the establishment of McGill university college of B. C. at Vancouver. The scope of the work gradually increased and when the University of British Columbia opened in the autumn of 1915, both McGill university college and Victoria college ceased to exist. Today Canada has twenty-three institutions of higher learning, the University of British Columbia being one of the youngest. Its growth has been rapid and today it ranks among the best in western Canada. The university is ideally located on a rolling head-land at the tip of Point Grey, six miles west of the city of Vancouver. The location com¬ mands a delightful view across the straits to Vancouver island. The sites set aside for fraternity building overlook the water and offer splen¬ did opportunities for beautiful houses. So convenient is the beach that on fair days students may be found scattered about there pouring over their texts. But the university has not always had such space for expansion. From its opening in 1915 till the summer of 1925, the university carried on its work in temporary quarters in Fairview. Classes were held in
Page 4
[256] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] churches and other available places. Today the university has twenty- seven buildings, following a definite building plan for the campus. We were all envious when we learned that college is over the first of May, but a bit consoled when we learned of Saturday morning classes and the increased amount of work due to the shorter session. There are no dormitories as yet, for most of the one-thousand-seven-hundred- and- thirty-students are Vancouver residents. The permanent buildings of the campus are Tudor done in grey stone. The five hundred forty-eight acre campus offers every chance for extensive planning and building. This campus, surrounded by snow capped mountains, seems a perfect setting for our new Beta Upsilon chapter. Louise Lebrecht, Alpha Nu A View of the New Campus of the University of British Columbia SIGMA BETA PI As Sigma Beta Pi, six girls organized a local group October 25, 1926. Though fraternities were not officially recognized at the Uni¬ versity of British Columbia until 1927. These six girls are: Hester Clev- land, Edythe Winter, Norma Roberts Abernethy, Donalda Straus, Wil- berta McBain, and Marjorie Kirk. All but one, Edythe Winter married and living in Montreal, were initiated as charter members of Beta Upsilon of Kappa Alpha Theta. Sigma Beta Pi first heard of Theta from Edythe Winter who met two Thetas while traveling in Italy. They made such an impression on her that she returned to college anxious for Sigma Beta Pi to strive for
Page 5
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [257] Thetahood. The local chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma also urged Theta to them. The first petition was sent June 8, 1928. The absence of chapter houses made the use of homes necessary for weekly meetings. Every other meeting was tea and business. The rushing is informal, and pledging is in sophomore year. There are five women’s fraternities on campus now: Kappa Kappa Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, and our own Beta Upsilon. There is one colonizing local still. Sigma Beta Pi entertained each year with a formal and an informal. The campus has no scholarship rating for all houses, but the grades of Sigma Beta Pi average a high B for last year. Their campus activities have been good. Everything seems to point to a very successful career for Beta Upsilon. Ruth Osterman, Alpha Lambda BETA UPSILON’S GUESTS All Thetas in the northwest have been eager to have a chapter at the University of British Columbia. So, from the states they came fifty strong to welcome the new group, each college chapter in District IX sending a delegate. In addition, all chapters, except Alpha Nu and Beta Theta who were too far away to leave classes, sent additional repre¬ sentatives. Alpha Sigma and Beta Epsilon each were represented by two girls, and Alpha Xi by five. Seattle being only five hours away, Thetas from there came by carloads — twenty from the college chapter, Alpha Lambda, eight Seattle alumnae, and one Tacoma alumna. Then there were the installing officers Mrs Moore, Grand president, Mrs Bemis, for¬ mer Grand vice-president, and Mrs Walker, president of District IX. Installation would have been a difficult task if it had not been for the faithful work done by the ten Thetas living in Vancouver, the chair¬ man of whom was Mrs Theodora Stoppenbach Smith. Being in a strange land with no Theta connections, these ten had never met before, but the call to arms came and they answered enthusiastically. The alumnae already living in Vancouver come from scattered chapters: Theodora Stoppenbach Smith (Mrs Arthur James) Alpha Xi; June Gilmore English (Mrs Norman) Alpha Lambda; Helen Schafner Willan (Mrs W. B.) Sigma; Lydamae Davis McLallen (Mrs John) Alpha Lambda; Virginia Spencer Reed (Mrs Harris) Alpha Sigma; Elizabeth Robinson Hargraves (Mrs J. S.) Sigma; Alene Thompson Kiltz (Mrs William, jr.) Alpha Xi; Grace Gillies Sheppard (Mrs F. W.) Alpha Sigma; and Kathleen Cordingly Scott (Mrs R. B. Y.) Sigma. With such a varied background they form a fine unit around whom the new Theta alumnae of Beta Upsilon may gather and grow into a loyal and helpful alumnae chapter, closely associated with the newest college chapter.
Page 6
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [258] District IX is particularly happy to have the second Canadian link in the fraternity. It is a privilege that many districts can never have; so proudly we claim Beta Upsilon and welcome her as a part of District IX. Those of us who sponsored the installation gladly take the responsibility of making her an intregal part of the fraternity, and thereby Theta adds her bit to the great world movement for international harmony and friendship. Virginia Walker, President of District IX THE JOY OF BECOMING A THETA From February 13 to 16 was a memorable time for the forty girls who pledged their loyalty to Kappa Alpha Theta and the new Beta Upsilon chapter. While there came a tinge of sadness at giving up our beloved Sigma Beta Pi, there came also the happy thought that we were not really leaving it behind but expanding it and entering on a broader sphere of fraternity life. How satisfying it was in accepting the ideals and traditions of Kappa Alpha Theta to find that many of them were merely extensions of the ideals of our former local group. The welcome we received from the many Thetas who attended our installation and especially from Mrs Harry Staats Moore, Grand presi¬ dent, could not have been more sincere. May we also take this oppor¬ tunity to thank the many college and alumnae chapters who wrote and wired us, sending their congratulations and heartiest welcome into the bonds of Theta sisterhood, at the time of our installation. We are duly grateful to all who worked so hard in making our in¬ stallation such a success; to Miss L. Pearle Green for her kindness and extreme patience in helping us with preparations; to the installing of¬ ficers, Mrs Moore, Mrs Vera Bemis, and our District president; to the loyal Theta alumnae of Vancouver who were so untiring in their efforts to make our installation a never to be forgotten occasion. As they suc¬ ceeded in this, so we, the new Beta Upsilon chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta, hope to succeed in living up to your expectations of us. Mary Alice McMorris, Beta Upsilon JOY OF MAKING NEW THETAS Coming from remote chapters in District IX meant not only looking forward to meeting the girls who were to be Thetas, but it meant know¬ ing better the girls of other chapters. Traveling together, going through the rituals together, and sharing all the experiences of being visitors in a strange city of another nation, all these we agreed were invaluable in welding together the chapters and their delegates. More than this, it was one of the happy memories of Theta that we will take with us through the years after we have left college.

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [259] The girls of Beta Upsilon showed us every hospitality, and were anxious to make our visit in Vancouver the most interesting one possible. In spite of grey days which made kodaks almost useless, we were made happy by little attentions and courtesies. I think I am giving every one’s feeling when I say that these new Vancouver Thetas are a splendid group and cannot help but prove worthy of the new affiliation. When we return to tell the girls how charming it all was, and that the Canadian girls are such enthusiastic Thetas, we shall also be talking in more familar tones of the other chapters around us. There will be many times when we shall wish ourselves together once more in Van¬ couver. And we shall also long for room 905 at the Georgia hotel, where many of us gathered to eat, talk, and powder our noses. Jane Haley, Beta Theta The Library of the University of British Columbia IMPRESSIONS OF INSTALLATION Everything was held at the rather new Georgia hotel situated in the heart of the city. This was nice, except that there was some complaint about our being awakened by chimes of the big city clock too early in the morning. We were all on either the ninth or the twelfth floor, so that calling on friends was possible. The Japanese elevator boys must have tired of our constant running from floor to floor. During initiation the squeaks in the door were overcome by an ad¬ ministration of olive oil, but we didn’t feel quite able to use that, no matter how much we may have wanted to, to quiet the songs that came wafted in from a bachelors’ dinner next door. And then we were forced

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [261] to remove a shade like that on a kerosene lamp when we wanted to turn off one of the necessary lights. That night all Thetas tumbled in to bed fast, for many of them had been working and standing up all day. Saturday was a most enjoyable day. We went through the buildings on campus, down in the stacks of the library where we were not sup¬ posed to be, up to the roof of the science building, but found the guinea pigs locked up. Then we drove through the proposed fraternity district and caught a glimpse of the bay. Delicious luncheon at a campus shop and then shopping. Much hunting in an effort to find an inexpensive souvenir of the occasion. Home to dress for the installation and ban¬ quet. Took notice of every one’s gowns and like them all. The banquet was the best part of all, the climax. Mrs Moore con¬ ducted everything in her delightfully informal manner, and we had five delicious courses interspersed with telegrams of congratulations, flowers, and song in which there was some rivalry as to which variation of the tune from different chapters would win out. Toasts were short and enjoyable, following an interesting plan which I suppose is employed at all such affairs. And then we went to the re¬ ception at which more food was served. We were all interested in meet¬ ing representatives of other fraternities and learning from them that we had one of the best groups on the campus, which only confirmed our own opinions. Then, if we didn’t go out we went to our rooms to talk and celebrate. In the morning many were leaving in order to get home in time for college, but some of the closer visitors remained to conduct the chapter meeting. I know that none of us will ever be able to forget this ex¬ perience and we all hope that Beta Upsilon will be coming down to re¬ turn the call. Eleanor Flanagan, Alpha Xi ALUMNA: CHARTER MEMBERS By no means the least enthusiastic initiates were the alumnae of Sigma Beta Pi. It is these members who for two years have been eagerly looking forward to becoming Thetas. The first president of the local was Don- alda Straus, who is now teaching grade school in Victoria. Some of the others are teaching in the junior high schools of Vancouver. We were certainly impressed by these girls and the better we became acquainted, the higher our opinions rose. We know that the alumnae group will form a stanch background for the development of Beta Up¬ silon. And we know that they will be a nucleus for the formation of an alumnae chapter in Vancouver. Alberta Phillips, Beta Epsilon

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [263] Women’s Union, University of Toronto Convention Plans Plans are all made for a Theta special train to Toronto of the usual elegance and completeness. There will be lounge cars at both the head of the train, and at its tail, so that we may take our choice between smoke and cinders to give atmosphere to our gatherings. Luncheon will be served between Chicago and Detroit. The schedule is: Leave Chicago, Michigan Central, Arrive Detroit, Leave Detroit, Canadian Pacific, Arrive Toronto, 10:30 A.M. July 2 4:45 p.m. July 2 3:00 A.M. July 3 9:00 a.m. July 3 The train will be ready for occupancy at Detroit by 9:00 p.m. so that we need not make a night of it there if we do not care to. The sleeping car fares between Chicago and Toronto are: lower, $6.63, upper, $5.30, drawing room, $24.00, compartment, $18.75. Scat¬ tered summer tourist fares to Toronto from all parts of the country were printed in the January magazine. Mr Thomas J.

Page 14
[266] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] The Car From Colorado and Nebraska In order that there may be a sizable group of Thetas from this sec¬ tion together, it is necessary to choose the best train from Denver to Chicago, and ask the Nebraska Thetas to take this train instead of the later one which is their usual custom. Burlington train No. 2, leaves Denver, 11:30 p.m. June 30. Burlington train No. 2, leaves Lincoln, 1:30 p.m. July 1. Burlington train No. 2, leaves Omaha, 3:40 p.m. July 1.

Post Convention Trips Arrangements have been made at two of Canada’s summer resorts for special rates and accommodations for convention visitors who would be interested in visiting them. Bigwin Inn is advertized as Canada’s largest and finest summer re¬ sort. It has entertained the conventions of a great many college frater¬ nities, so we hear good things of it, and its many ways of making people happy, on all our campuses. For the week following our convention we may stay there at the rate of $7.00 a day, two persons in room with bath, $8.00, one person. After the week, the regular, higher rates will prevail. Bigwin Inn is on Lake of Bays, 150 miles north of Toronto. Write to Bigwin Inn, Lake of Bays, Ontario, for further information and book¬ let. Highland Inn is a somewhat simpler place, that will prove attrac¬ tive to energetic, sport loving Theta visitors. The rates here are $4 a day in room with bath. The regular rates run around $7. Write to Highland Inn, Algonquin Park, Ontario, for information and booklet. The reservations for both these places should be in at the same time as all other convention registrations — June 3. A boat trip to Montreal and Quebec from Toronto is a delightful experience, and such a trip has been arranged for Thetas, leaving late at night on July 8 by rail for Kingston, where the steamer will be boarded early the next morning. The return from this trip may be accomplished in three days, or it may be delayed as long as you wish to stop over at points of interest. It may be further extended up the Saguenay river, if desired. Visitors from the west should include this steamer trip in their round trip tickets to convention, as a measure of
Page 15
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [267] economy. Boat reservations may be made at convention. Write the Canada Steamship Co. for descriptive literature. Round trip tourist tickets from the west should read Canadian National railway and Canada Steamship company beyond Toronto. Motorists If motor maps of the roads to Toronto are not readily available at home, write the Ontario Motor league, which will forward maps of roads in that province. The Royal York has ample storage space for the cars of guests and gives prompt and efficient service at nominal cost. Baggage Directions Baggage tags will be furnished by Mr Wall to all Thetas making reservations on the special train and to all others writing for them. They are more important to our convention visitors this year than they have usually been because of the customs regulations. Arrangements have been made for special attention to all the baggage bearing our tags, and no difficulty should be experienced by anyone. There are, however, two important directions which should be ad¬ hered to. First, all baggage which is to be checked should be sent a day ahead of the passenger. It should be checked directly to the Royal York hotel. There it will be placed in the customs bond room and be ready for prompt release Thursday morning. Second, all material for exhibits, ritual, and any other convention purposes which can possibly be so packed, should be checked through in trunks or suit cases. It will then receive the same treatment as per¬ sonal baggage and be simpler to handle than express packages. Be sure to get Kappa Alpha Theta baggage tags. Reservations Reservations must be in by June 3- They must be sent in on the official reservation slip. See the first page of this issue. The railroad will acknowledge the slip by sending tags for baggage and a letter as to space assigned on special train. The hotel will acknowledge the slip by a letter as to space assigned in the hotel. Every one, except the Grand council and the District presi¬ dents, whose reservations are made, must send in the hotel slip. If a group wishes to room together, it will facilitate matters, if their reser¬ vations are sent together.
Page 16
[268] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Visitors coming to Toronto on other than the special train, make reservation by letter of the agent who is designated for that purpose. Incidental Information Tips. Included in the convention registration fee will be an assess¬ ment amounting to seventy five cents daily for tips to the hotel staff. Except for very special personal services, no tips will be necessary or expected during our stay at the Royal York. The fund will be dis¬ tributed by the hotel manager and the convention manager, in order that the unseen help, as well as the waiters and chambermaids may re¬ ceive their shares. Registration Fee. The credential and registration committee will receive a fee of $10, which will entitle visitors to every convention ac¬ tivity, pay for a subscription to the daily Kite, and take care of all tipping. Customs. Visitors to Canada may bring home with them $100 worth of dutiable purchases free of United States customs duties. Be¬ yond such an amount, the purchases must be declared and duty paid. Niagara Side Trip. Upon all rail tickets with Montreal as a des¬ tination, returning through the United States, or upon all tickets in¬ cluding a European trip, there is allowed a free side trip to Niagara Falls. Visitors purchasing such tickets should insist upon such an ar¬ rangement. Information. Questions not covered by the information in the maga¬ zine, or in the booklet issued by the railroad, will be gladly answered by Mrs Yale B. Huffman, Convention manager, Broken Bow, Nebraska, or by Mr Thos. J. Wall, General agent of the Canadian Pacific, 71 East Jackson Blvd. Chicago, Illinois. "There is a law that brings people together into groups. It acts like the law of gravity and regardless of what is done to divert it, it holds true. Thus we have the college fraternity.” — Chancellor C. W. Flint

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [269] Theta European Trips The Empress of Scotland, the flagship of the magnificent Canadian Pacific fleet, sails from Quebec the day after our convention closes. It is hoped that one or more parties of Thetas will be on board, bound for a long or short stay in Europe. Three routes laid out by the Guild travel bureau seem particularly attractive. Over these routes the Guild personally conducts special parties on motor trips. Their service is ex¬ perienced and well known, so that we need have no hesitation in trust¬ ing ourselves to their guidance. These "Collegiate Tours" travel stu¬ dent third class on ship board, by motor busses holding twenty in Eu¬ rope, and stop at good hotels. One trip, taking a month, visits the five countries of France, Switz¬ erland, Austria, Germany and Belgium, making a feature of the Passion Play. It costs $395. Another spends more time in Switzerland and adds England, for $456. It also takes a month. One returning Sept. 6 covers all of western Europe, with some par¬ ticularly delightful features, and costs $807. Detailed information about all of these trips, and any other par¬ ticular places you are interested in may be had by writing the conven¬ tion manager, Mrs Yale B. Huffman, Broken Bow, Nebraska.

[270] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Thetas First Presentation of a three-act playlet depicting the founding of Kappa Alpha Theta was a feature of the program at the Founders’-day banquet of San Diego alumnae. Members and visitors acclaimed the playlet not only entertaining but of sufficient historical value to be pre¬ served, and a tentative title, Thetas First was given it. The chapter expects to present it annually, and will be glad to furnish copies to other chapters. Authors of it are Helen May Marcy Johnson, Kappa; Dorothy Esme Freeman Jennie Belle Willmott Jane Atkinson Lyon Elizabeth Fannin as as as as Alice Allen Flannah Fitch Betty Locke Betty Tipton Jones, Beta Xi; Esme Freeman, Alpha Xi; Jennie Belle Willmott, Beta Beta. Scenes are school room, with preliminary organization and de¬ signing of pin; Betty Locke’s home, with meeting of Founders; initia¬ tion of six pledges. The action and dialogue are based on, and de¬ veloped from, written statements of the actual founding of Theta which were made expressly for San Diego alumnae by Mrs Lou Emma Allen Baker, Alpha, sister of Alice O. Allen, Founder, and by Mrs Anna Hol¬ lingsworth Hammond, Alpha, intimately acquainted with the events. Roles of the Founders were played by Jane Atkinson Lyons, Beta Delta — Betty Locke; Esme Freeman, Alpha Xi — Alice O. Allen; Eliza¬ beth Fannin, Alpha Omicron — Betty Tipton; Jennie Belle Willmott, Beta Beta — Hannah Fitch.

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [271] Founders’ -Day Hawaii Thetas in Honolulu celebrated Founders’-day January 25. Luncheon was served on the deep, cool lanai of the Pleasanton hotel. Char¬ lotte Hall, secretary-treasurer of Honolulu Theta club, presided. The table was beautifully decorated with a basket of golden tropical flowers and great blossoms of the cup of gold filled with purple pansies. Covers were laid for Charlotte Hall and Margaret Cotton Turner, Upsilon; Flor¬ ence Buck Adriance, Louise Mason Edwards, Helen Driver Stewart, all Alpha Xi,; Caroline Neilson, Phi; Margaret McQuiston Bennett and Elizabeth Speed McFadden, Alpha; Minette Miller Cover, Alpha Delta; Ruth Delaney Waterman, Alpha Mu; Julia Beck and Louise Webber Armitage, Alpha Nu; Anne Hawes Doering, Alpha Psi; Marian Brink Adams, Beta Gamma. Oklahoma Kappa Alpha Theta members from over the state celebrated Found¬ ers’-day February 1, with a banquet at the Oklahoma Club in Oklahoma City. Freda Reed Dawson (Mrs L. Raymond) president of Oklahoma alumnae, was toastmistress, and the presidents of the college chapters at Norman and Stillwater, Miss Rosemary Lamb and Miss Margaret Bald¬ win, assisted in the hospitalities. Toasts and talks were given by Alice Larimer Lininger (Mrs Her- beart K.) Miss Frances Klein, Miss Mex Rodman, and Miss Eleanor Drennan. Entertainment was furnished by the college chapters. The program was concluded with vocal selections by Miss Katheryn Olinger and Miss Beverly Freeman with Miss Dorothy Deitrich at the piano, and a dance by Joe Shelton Scruggs (Mrs Charles R.) . Black bowls of calendulas and black tapers furnished the decorations for the long tables. Cleveland Cleveland alumnae — 72 strong — celebrated Founders’-day January 23. It was a most successful dinner, in the Chamber of commerce grill room of Cleveland’s new and beautiful Terminal building. For once we had no speeches, a real and thoroughly approved innovation. We had instead much talk, much singing of Theta songs, much renewing of Theta loyalties, and at the end the Founders’-day ritual service. Eliza¬ beth Young Coppedge (Mrs E. P.) Alpha Eta presided and welcomed to the celebration our newest group, the women of Beta Tau. Kath-

A Theta quartet, led by Marcia Kenyon Bissell (Mrs Howard) Alpha Chi, with Margaret Rhodehanel, Beta Tau, at the piano, sang the proces¬ sional and recessional as we entered and left the dining room. The chapters having the largest groups present were Beta Tau and Epsilon. More than twenty chapters were represented. Much credit belongs to the committee in charge headed by Meta Ebe- ling, Alpha Omega. Lucy Lilian Notestein, Cleveland alumna Boston January 25, twenty members of Boston alumnae met for luncheon at the University club, in order to pay tribute, once more, to the Found¬ ers of Kappa Alpha Theta. There were Theta songs, a brief glimpse of early history, and the lighting of the four candles, before the program became concerned with some of the recent travels and experiences of members. Mrs Jessie Eastham entertained us with a glimpse of Portland, Oregon; Mrs Maude Plowman read letters describing the journey of a Theta friend from Melbourne, Australia to North China and back to Melbourne by way of New Guinea; and Mrs Imogene Wolcott spoke with great humor and understanding of the joys of keeping bees. Other important factors of the program were the reading of a few of the poems of Mrs Banta’s little daughter, Margaret, the passing of the box for donations to the Friendship fund, and enthusiastic talk of convention. Evelyn M. Watkins Lansing The Wisteria dining-room of the Hotel Olds was the scene of a delightful luncheon January 25, when Lansing alumnae and Beta Pi chapters observed Founders’-day. After a few minutes happily spent seeking out the old friends who had come back for the day, and wel¬ coming the girls initiated the night before, we were ushered into the dining-room where Theta spirit prevailed. The tables, with covers laid for 66 guests, were centered with gold candles tied with black tulle; at the speakers’ table the four candles were flanked by bowls of golden daffodils. At each cover lay a small black kite containing the program for the day, and a gold paper nut basket surmounted by a black and gold pansy. We all appreciated these little favors so much because they were made by the members of the committee and bespoke hours of loving labor for Theta.
Page 21
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [273] Following the luncheon we enjoyed an unusually interesting pro¬ gram featuring a brief pageant of Theta decades presented by Beta Pi. Each Founder, and a member representative of each succeeding decade of Theta life, were impersonated by eleven girls in costumes character¬ istic of each period from 1870 to 1930. Mrs Jessie Hancock of Detroit was the main speaker of the day, and responded to the toast What Theta means to me. The beautiful service of Founders’-day thrilled us all, the more especially because it was our first formal observance as an alumnae chapter. The committee in charge of the affair included Mabel Mosher, chair¬ man, assisted by Ruth Graham, Ellen Thompson, Frances Ayres, and Mrs Edward Rich. Out-of-town guests were Mrs Jessie Hancock, Mrs G. H. Bobertz, jr. and Betty Murray, of Detroit; Mrs Joseph Myers, Mrs George Hunt, and Dorothy Butler, of Jackson; Dorothy Hanigan of Gross lie; Alice Brown of Kalamazoo; Mrs Leonard Foster of Battle Creek; Adele Foster of Pleasant Ridge; and Elizabeth Hahn of Albion. Margaret A. Shadduck Washington The sixtieth anniversary of the founding of Kappa Alpha Theta was celebrated by Washington alumnae on January 25, with a luncheon at the Hay-Adams house. Forty Thetas, representing twenty-one chap¬ ters, were present and were happy to have as honor guest, the Grand secretary, Miss L. Pearle Green. Helen Parker Finch, president of Washington alumnae, presided as toastmistress. The luncheon table was gay with candles and yellow calendulas and had as a center-piece a large birthday cake. Yakima Founders’-day was celebrated by Yakima alumnae chapter with a dinner at the home of Clara Belle Bair Burianek (Mrs Wencil) the evening of January 25. Eighteen Thetas, representing five college chapters, Beta, Phi, Alpha Lambda, Alpha Sigma, and Beta Theta, were present. One from each group told of the founding of her chapter. San Francisco Alumnae of the San Francisco Bay district, and Phi and Omega, cele¬ brated Founders’-day with a banquet at the Don room of the Mark Hop¬ kins hotel, San Francisco, January 25. Catherine DeMott Greene was toastmistress. Elizabeth Hogue Moore, Grand president, and Ada Ed¬ wards Laughlin, District president, were guests of honor.
Page 22
[274] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Kansas City Founders’-day banquet was at the Mission country club, January 25. The programs were attractive black folders, with kite, menu, and pro¬ gram done in gold ink. The speakers were — Katherine Stone, Kappa, who told some experiences of her candy business, Charolett Schuchardt Woodruff, Tau, who related her experiences in opera ballet, Anna Har¬ rison Nelson, former Grand president, Kappa, who toasted the fra¬ ternity. Other speakers were Jessie Adelle Stemm, Alpha Mu, Fern Snyder, Kappa, lisa Wilhelmi, Kappa, and Dorothy Dilloway Solden Els, Kappa. ***** Stories of many other celebrations of the fraternity’s sixtieth birth¬ day will be found in the letters from college chapters in the Chapter news section of this issue. See also, story of the San Diego party on page 270. Colorado Thetas are postponing their celebration until the night before National Panhellenic meets in Denver, so as to have as guests the national officers who will attend that meeting. In the Name of Nobler Womanhood Thetas in college whose finances have suffered as a result of the recent business depression, will be especially glad to know what the loan fund is in a healthy condition. The committee on undergraduate loans is always ready to give prompt consideration to requests for loans from Thetas whose educational future would be endangered were it not for the possibility of securing assistance from the Theta fund. The committee is happy to report that the debt of $2000 and in¬ terest owing to the National treasury has been paid. This was made possible partly by gifts of alumnae groups, and partly by the fund’s ap¬ portionment from the endowment fund. However it should be noted that the cost of education has increased much more rapidly than the size of the fund.
Page 23
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [275] Since Los Angeles alumna? is no longer sole administrator of the Loan and fellowship fund, but is assisted by six other alumnae chapters, it has been a problem for member committees all the way from Wash¬ ington, D.C. to Portland, Oregon, to keep in touch with one another and to be well informed in regard to the progress being made by each department. The Undergraduate loan committee, which serves as cus¬ todian of the fund and chairman of the board of directors, has helped solve this problem by sending a copy of the minutes of each meeting to every member committee with a request that member committees in turn mail their minutes to the executive committee, thus minimizing the disadvantage of distance. St Louis alumna? has accepted the chairmanship of the committees on ways and means and, with the cooperation of Houston and Portland alumna?, is making plans to encourage Theta alumna? chapters to make more generous contributions to the Loan and fellowship fund. These three chapters, in charge of ways and means, are also compiling in¬ formation on successful methods by which alumna? chapters have raised money. The results of this survey will be published, and will, it is hoped, be valuable to chapters anxious to swell the fund. Now that a definite objective has been outlined for each member committee of the Board of directors, the committee is preparing for an enlarged usefulness of Theta’s loan fund. When the horizon of a Theta sister in college is darkened by im¬ paired finances due to illness, death, business failures or depression, and it seems that she must give up her education which is so vital to her future, then it is that the custodians of the Loan fund stand ready to help. Surely such need should prove a "powerful incentive” to Theta alumna? groups everywhere, not only to contribute to the fund but also to help educate members of college chapters as to its usefulness. In the "name of a nobler womanhood” for which Theta stands, let us endeavor to make possible a complete college training for every Theta who is striving for "social, intellectual and moral growth.” Betty Hughes, Loan and fellowship fund committee

[276] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Those Days in Toronto Have you ever been to convention? No? But you are going this year? Good! Then you may look forward to five glorious days in which, together with old friends and new friends, you will attend in¬ teresting meetings, join in general festivities, and fit into odd minutes all those delightful pastimes which you especially enjoy. During the daytime the meetings will be held — some large, at which topics of general interest will be discussed; some small, at which the problems of special groups will be solved. You cannot fail to find groups discussing questions which especially concern you. Of course you will not attend all the meetings, and it is these spare hours into which you will literally "cram” those delightful pastimes and adven¬ tures for which you long. On the first day of convention, Thursday, July 3, we hope amid the rush, excitement, and general rejoicings to get to know each other. We shall have an information bureau with a most extraordinary Theta in charge who will know simply everything. So do not hesitate to probe her with questions — and you are sure to want to know many things on this first day of convention! In the evening the Nike ceremony is to take place, after which every one should feel thoroughly welcomed, en¬ rolled, and quite at home! On Friday evening you will be given an opportunity to inspect Hart house, the unique center for men at the University of Toronto. Its Great hall, tiny chapel, lecture room, music room, library, sketch room, Hart House
Page 25
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [277] gymnasiums, swimming pool, squash courts, billiard rooms, etc . combine to offer to the men of the university every opportunity for the fullest development. After wandering through this world-famed house we shall meet again in its theater, where some of Sigma’s theatrical stars are to present a play, of which the title and author will be announced in the May issue. Hart House Theater Saturday night is the famous "stunt night.” The details of this are shrouded in mystery — all the more mysterious because as yet we do not even know them ourselves! However, when the cloud is lifted, and the details are laid bare, you will find yourself in an atmosphere so com¬ pletely Canadian that you will realize, as you never did before, that we are members of an International fraternity. There will, of course, be no meetings on Sunday, and we have made no plans for the morning. Some of you will want to go to church — and the "Last-word-in-information-bureaus” will tell you where to go and how to get there. In the afternoon we hope to visit one of Tor¬ onto’s "country estates.” A certain member of Sigma has a godfather who owns a most heavenly garden. Perhaps we shall go there to spend a few hours wandering among the flowers, enjoying each other’s so¬ ciety. We shall then adjourn in groups to the various Sigma homes to have tea. In the evening we shall assemble once more in the Royal York hotel for the initiation ceremony. On Monday, the last day of convention, we hope to take you across to the Island to have tea at the Yacht club. This is a picturesque spot. Its pretty gardens overlook the water dotted with white sails, and if only Sigma owned one hundred yachts, you would all have tea on the water.
Page 26
[278] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] In the evening the banquet — the climax of convention! The toasts, fa¬ vours, and general spirit of joy make it a most happy event. Let us hope that when it is all over, when the last toast has been answered, and the final evening of convention has drawn to a close, that we may carry away with us a refreshed enthusiasm for our fraternity, a deeper sense of the bonds which bind us all who are so widely separated, and a determination to strive more ardently than ever before to realize the ideals of Kappa Alpha Theta. The Panhellenic, New York City There are many more fraternity and college women living at the Panhellenic this year than last, although the house is not restricted to either. Members of Kappa Alpha Theta who have been, or are still, guests at the hotel are: Amy Quackenbush and Martha Allen, Chi; Maurine Watkins and Blanche Alsop, Gamma; Mary Babcock and Thelma Truby, Alpha Gamma; Dorothy Baird, Eta; Jane G. Hampton and Ruth Englehorn, Alpha Lambda; Helen Guild Bierer, Alpha Up- silon; Ruth Bigelow and Mary Tracy, Lambda; Maida Darnton, Beth Krebs Morris and Helen Carrier, Omega; Lucy Guiles, Alpha Epsilon; Annabelle Desmond, Alpha Nu; Helen Hurlburt, Beta Iota; Jessie L. Lewis, Alpha Beta; Catherine McLaughlin, Beta Gamma; Barbara Poole, Phi; Ethel Teagle, Upsilon. The Panhellenic had a remarkable first year. When it celebrated its first anniversary, October 1, it was almost 100 per cent filled, a unique precedent for hotels. A big factor in renting rooms this fall was the inauguration of cross town bus service in August, thus solving the trans¬ portation problem and making the Panhellenic accessible to all parts of Manhattan. The bus runs east on 50th street and west on 49th, from river to river, operating on a five minute schedule and five cent fare. Residents of the house can now reach the theatrical or shopping dis¬ tricts in ten minutes and may connect with subways and elevated trains at intersecting streets. The New York city Panhellenic club is responsible for much of the social life of the hotel. Its club rooms on the fourth floor are always open to fraternity women who are guests in the house, and frequently they entertain for all residents.

THETAS YOU'D ENJOY KNOWING RHODA KAUFMAN, Alpha Eta Thetas will be interested in knowing that Rhoda Kaufman, for¬ merly secretary of the Georgia state department of public wel¬ fare, has accepted the position of Director of studies and research for one of the divisions of the White House Conference on child health and protection. The conference which has been called by the President to meet and advise with him on Child welfare has been organized into di¬ visions covering various phases of child welfare. Miss Kaufman was asked sometime ago to serve in an advisory capacity on the division concerned with public and private organization for handicapped children. She recently attended a meeting of the four divisions of the conference concerned with the problems of the handi¬ capped child and at this meeting it was decided to launch a year’s com¬ prehensive study, the study of each division to be directed by a rec¬ ognized expert in the field. Under this decision Miss Kaufman was appointed as executive director of the Division of public and private organizations and will direct the year’s study and research in this field, covering among other things State departments of public welfare throughout the country. Fellow Thetas will rejoice over this honor in her chosen profession of Social work and in the enlarged opportunity for service which the office brings to her. HARRIET STEVENS CORY, Alpha lota Gone may be the sentimental tales at Mother’s knee of heroic womanhood, but ever with us is admiration for honest achieve¬ ment. Young Thetas can scrutinize what one older Theta is doing with her life, and thereby be encouraged to closer concentration of energy, to greater effort for service and success. In the dark ages of a quarter of a century ago it was not easy for a college girl to travel the road to an M.D. yet Harriet Stevens of Alpha
Page 28
[280] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Iota did courageously set forth on that road so infrequently trod by feminine feet. Her liabilities were public opinion and lack of financial ease. Her assets were a fine intellectual inheritance, a splendid phy¬ sique, a poised and responsive personality. Along the journey of pro¬ fessional success she has increased these assets, growing more cultivated, more gracious, more sympathetic, but never losing — praise be — her delightful sense of humour, or making a strange hash of sentiment and sentimentality. In her controlled cheerfulness there is no pretense, and in her energy and strength these can not fail to be help for her patients. While practicing her profession she has gracefully filled another position, that of wife to Charles S. Cory, professor of philosophy at Washington university. Her record: A.B. Washington university; Phi Beta Kappa; M.D. University of Chicago; interne, Cook county hospital; post graduate, one year, Vienna and London; since 1911, in private practice, St Louis, Mis¬ souri; physician to Liggett and Myers tobacco company; medical officer, St Louis public library; educational director, Missouri Social hygiene as¬ sociation; examiner for several life insurance companies, including Massachusetts mutual and New England mutual; lecturer on Social hygiene in the Division of university extension, Washington univer¬ sity, and to all the Nurses’ training schools in St Louis. This data is offered for authenticity, for background, for the emu¬ lation of the young, but more important, for a contemporary to note, is that; Dr Cory is a hostess worth visiting, a friend worth having, a physician worth consulting, a Theta worth presenting. Elinor Hall Horner, St Louis alumna LYLA MARSHALL HARCOFF, Alpha Chi (See also January, 1930, issue, page 164) A number of years ago a young girl by the name of Lyla Marshall, who lived on a farm northwest of Lafayette, attended Purdue university and attracted the attention of Miss Laura Fry, head of the art deparment, because of her talent and originality. She married and moved to the Pacific coast. When I came across the name, Lyla Mar¬ shall Harcoff of Santa Barbara, California, in the salon catalogue, I looked up the two pictures that represent her and found them both of unusual interest. One is a decorative head, painted in profile against a brilliant red background. The other is a gay still life composition, well composed and pleasing in its color balance and contrasts. The title of the head is "Helen,” while that of the still life is "Persimmons.”
Page 29
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [281] It is of interest to know that Mrs. Harcoff is a niece of Henry Marshall, trustee of Purdue university and former state senator. This clipping is from a report on the exhibit of the Hoosier Salon in Chicago, fanuary-February, 1930. ELIZABETH YODER, Omicron Elizabeth Yoder, formerly Dean of the School of speech, Uni¬ versity of Southern California, has met with great success in the opening of her exclusive school for girls in Florence, Italy. The school is delightfully situated, a large Italian villa, of the thir¬ teenth century, set in the hills back of Florence, with beautiful gardens, with furniture worthy of a museum, and with cooking that rivals the best in Europe. Languages and art history form the basis of the girls’ studies. All work is accredited to colleges. In this continental setting it is possible for the girls to combine their work with much pleasure in the form of traveling. All holidays are spent somewhere in Italy, France, Belgium, or Switzerland. Miss Yoder is particularly suited to this work because she has spent the last ten summers chaperoning parties of from eight to ten girls about Europe, and because she spent her last sabbatical year studying at Florence. Any Theta traveling abroad might be interested in visiting Miss Yoder and her exceptional school located at 197 Via Vittnia Emanuele, Florence, Italy. PERSISTENCY, INC. Katherine P. Stone, Kappa Remember the war song your older brothers used to sing when they . were in the training camps? "K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy, You’re the only g-g-girl that I adore.” Its sentiments are practically those of Kansas City, Missouri, when it thinks of parties and the Katydid Sevilla, its favorite candy shop and show place. Kansas City’s K-K-Katy is Katherine P. Stone, president of Stone and Carroll, Inc. candy makers extraordinary, store operators superla¬ tive, and caterers par excellence. Nobody thinks of giving a party in Kansas City— and in that thriv¬ ing social center everybody is always giving parties— without consult¬ ing the Katydid Sevilla. Hostesses buy their candles, flowers and favors there to match its
Page 30
[282} [KAPPA ALPHA THETA} matchless candies. Drug stores stock its sweets. Hotels use its catering. In fact, the gay Sevillia, and its several retail branches, all un¬ der the same Katydid management, is as much a part of the community life as the Chamber of commerce. Now for a candy factory to make a big success is not so unusual. But for a girl to make a success of a candy factory alone and unaided — to raise a little one bowl concern into a national business — to be, in 1924, cook, chocolate dipper, delivery boy, bookkeeper and salesgirl and in 1930 to be director of an organization that every day sells hundreds of pounds of "home-made” candy as well as manages many shops— that is not only unusual but practically unheard of . . .a story of ambition, common sense, enthusiasm — and a beautiful sense of humor. You get the humor right there in the name of her shops and her candy — Katydid. They told Katherine Stone she couldn’t make a suc¬ cess of candy selling. She tried and succeeded. She could and she did and so she’s telling the world about it right on the sign boards. Hence the cocky "Katydid.” Now Katy Stone was not educated to be a candy maker. She was just educated. She was born and brought up in Kansas City and went through high school there. Then she spent two years at schools in France and Switzerland before returning home. She enrolled for two years at the University of Kansas, followed that by another two at Smith college from which she graduated in 1916. And then, there she was, with life — and not much else — before her. School teaching didn’t appeal to Miss Stone. She made her debut into society and that didn’t appeal to her either. She took a business course and followed it by two years as a secretary. She was simply bored blue when the war came and rescued her. Katy went to Washington and worked in the State department. Came peace! Katy went to Boston and took charge of a public stenographic bureau to oblige an old college chum. She was still restless. She and the friend took a course in professional candy making just for the fun of it. Katy liked candy making and she had to do something . Even then she still had to learn the truth of Mr. Kipling’s remark about the swiftness of traveling alone toward success. Katy tried to start her candy career in partnership with her Boston girl friend. In fact she did start it — and then the friend married. That was a stiff blow. Katy was lonesome. And she was prac¬ tically broke. She thought about home. Her family said she was silly to tackle a business venture by herself. Still, they encouraged her, by advice and aid. She went back home and started making a few pounds of candy a day.
Page 31
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [283] Her factory was the kitchen of a three-room cottage on a Kansas City residential street. Her organization was herself and a small col¬ ored girl. Katy did everything but the pot washing and sometimes she did that, too. She had one pet conviction that she was determined to put over. That was that people wanted the best candy they could get, and that they would be willing to pay for it. It took her only a few months to prove this. Kansas City began to talk of Katy and her candies and before long the little three-room cottage was painted and fitted up to be a combined factory and shop. Customers were permitted to come into the kitchen and watch the candy they had ordered being made. Customers liked that so much they told other customers. In less than a year, this advertising made the cottage altogether too small. It became all factory and Katy opened a shop in the business section. Another one of Katy’s two-year contracts went by. At the end of that time, she began looking about her again. She saw that her directing of the purely business end of her candy trade was taking too much time from her personal supervision of the manufacturing end. So she proceeded to prove that she was of the stuff that makes great business success. She had the courage to take a partner with brains equal to her own and to delegate to the partner all the troublesome business end, while she continued to supervise the production and sell¬ ing. Katy added to her talents the ability to act as consultant to hostesses who came in for advice on their parties. She planned meals, color schemes, favors — and of course, Katydid candies suited to the particu¬ lar occasion. The almost immediate result of this was another small shop and finally the ambitious Katydid Sevilla, amusing, elaborately builded to resemble a Spanish patio. Six years’ hard work — and at the end, success, an established posi¬ tion in her own home town, achievement. Still, Katherine Stone doesn’t think she is at all remarkable. "I wouldn’t advise any woman to tackle a business of her own unless she has a lot of persistence and doesn’t mind hard work,” she says. "But granted those factors, I think any girl with health, courage and energy could have done what I have done. "Candy making has been fun to me ever since I was a little girl. It still is fun now that my kitchens turn out thousands of pounds a week. And that, I think, is one of the reasons Katydid candies have been so successful. When work becomes fun to you, every thing else comes easy.” — Smart Set , February, 1930

[284] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Dispense Cheer at Hospital Indianapolis Theta Alumnce Social Service Dispensing holiday cheer at the William H. Coleman hospital for women is one of the tasks undertaken by the Social service com¬ mittee of Kappa Alpha Theta. With the Christmas-New Year’s day season past, the committee now is at work on plans for Valentine’s day. The picture shows, left to right, members of the fraternity at work in the Theta room of the hospital, preparing Christmas favours which were placed on each tray for breakfast on that day. Mrs Ethel Sellers Klein and Miss DeGrief are co-chairmen of the Social service committee, the members of which are Mrs Mary Lee Orloff Fieber, Mrs Mary Belle Haynes Osborn, Mrs Marie Louise Wagnon Hoster, Mrs Eda Boos Brewer, Mrs Pauline Holmes Hoover. Miss E. Elizabeth Brown, superintendent of nurses at the hospital, supervises the work of the committee in order that its energies will be spent in the right direction. In addition to such "good cheer’’ work as placing wreaths in the windows of the wards, the Theta committee has sewed twenty-four night-gowns, makes at least one layette each month, and at Christmas time presented a gift to each baby in the hospital. The work at Coleman hospital is a part of the social service program of the Indianapolis alumnae chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta. Indianapolis star , Dec. 29, 1929.

ALUMNAE NEWS Theta Clubs Ten years of running down Thetas has made it a habit”; so one faithful state chairman wrote me as she was resigning and moving to a foreign country. I gasped as I read that, and then realized that of course she meant following the various cues to keep her card cata¬ logue of Thetas’ names and addresses up-to-date. "Running down Thetas” in that sense is what all of us in the alumnae work are doing, and that "running down” has resulted in four new clubs since the last magazine went to press. Late in November Green Bay, Wisconsin, Thetas organized. There are only six of them, but they are meeting monthly or oftener, and planning to celebrate Founders’-day with Ap¬ pleton Thetas. As soon as they received a copy of the Bimonthly they read it carefully and became so enthusiastic about the article regarding National Panhellenic that they are now the prime-movers toward or¬ ganizing a Green Bay Panhellenic. December 4 Theta alumnae from Granville, Newark, Mt. Vernon, and Gambier met in Newark for luncheon and organized a club. There were seventeen present at the first meeting. They hope to include other Thetas living in central Ohio. This club plans to have luncheon meet¬ ings the first Wednesday of each month at the Beta Tau chapter house in Granville. Another club in Canton, Ohio, with ten members, was or¬ ganized at about the same time and celebrated Founders’-day in the home of one of our new Beta Tau alumnae. In January the Thetas in Norman, Oklahoma decided that they, too, would have a club. They report that now they have twenty-six mem¬ bers but, as their membership is so shifting, there may be only seven or eight next year. These Norman Thetas plan to meet twice a month and sew, play bridge, or do whatever the hostesses desire. State Chairmen On our Alumnae board we have four new state chairmen. In Ari¬ zona Benita Yaeger, Beta Delta, has succeeded Mrs Mary Alice Christy Wartman, whose new husband is taking her out of the state. Benita
Page 34
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [286] Yaeger graduated from the University of Arizona in 1928, is now teaching in Phoenix and acting as secretary of the Phoenix club. We know in advance that we have a fine new chairman to succeed the fine one that we are losing. Another recent graduate, this time of the University of Oregon, is bringing the enthusiasm of college chapter life to her work as state chairman of Oregon. She is succeeding Mrs Ella Dobie Hathaway, who has served faithfully for ten long years but is now moving to South America. Mrs Marie Temple Richards is a recent bride, and it is easy to picture her new husband folding enclosures or addressing en¬ velopes for the spring letters, as so many Theta husbands have done in the past. Mrs Maude Dziatsko Flint, Alpha Mu, recently has been appointed Kentucky state chairman to succeed Mrs Helen Andrews Tafel who is wintering in California. Mrs Tafel, after two years of loyal and en¬ thusiastic service in Kentucky, will be missed. Mrs Flint is president and secretary of the one Theta organization in all the state of Ken¬ tucky, the Louisville Theta club, and she is also their representative on the Panhellenic board. Before moving to Louisville about three years ago, she was a member of St Louis alumnae, and one of the original members of the Rain club, composed of Alpha Mu Thetas. In Canada Elizabeth Walton has gone away on a vacation to better her health and turned over the chairmanship duties to Mrs Margaret Reid Richardson. Adelaide H. G. Macdonald, Sigma, describes Mrs Richardson most delightfully: "When Margaret Reid entered the class of ’22 her views on fraternities were decided and not precisely sym¬ pathetic; but having abandoned them in favour of membership in Sigma chapter she has proved no less decided a supporter of the fraternity. As a student she was the type who carried a heavy science course but was always more up to date with current literature than students of English. Her interest in mental processes led her into psychology groups and into edifying methods of classifying her friends. Matri¬ mony and a family of three, the eldest a potential Theta, have not proved sufficient to distract her interest from things in general and the fraternity in particular. She has always time to entertain rushees or to discuss college chapter or alumnae problems. Her house is by way of being a rendezvous for those whose interests include contract bridge, psychology, modern literature, and Kappa Alpha Theta. As state chair¬ man for Canada she will of course be efficient, and we should not be surprised if she were also original." In the last magazine I promised you more details about Winnifred Wilson, who had just become our new Montana chairman. She gradu-
Page 35
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [287] ated from the School of journalism at the University of Montana in 1926, and has since been president of Alpha Nu building corporation and secretary of Missoula Theta club. Her acceptance of the state chair¬ manship delights all Montana Thetas who know her abilities. Alumna Chapters Just as I am ready to send these notes to the editor, news of two alumnae chapter changes arrives. Regretfully, Grand council has voted to accept the resignation of the charter granted in 1925 to Blooming¬ ton alumnae; too few Thetas are now living in and near Bloomington to enable the chapter to keep up the required membership. We shall greatly miss this group of Thetas as a chapter but are glad that, as a club, they will continue their connection with the fraternity. There is also news of a happier nature. Twenty-five Thetas in Dayton, Ohio, representatives of seven or eight college chapters have petitioned Grand council for an alumnae chapter charter and may have been installed as a chapter before this magazine reaches you. Thus our number of alumnae chapters remains at fifty-six. Hope Davis Mecklin Thetas in Foreign Lands Theta chapters may be found "from coast to coast, from the north to the southland," but no such limits can be named for individual Thetas. They are to be found in most of the countries of the world; a Theta map would show them in Alaska and China, in Africa and South America, and in twenty other countries. From them come occasional letters with such interesting glimpses of life abroad that the reader’s in¬ stant reaction is a demand for more and longer letters! Edna Mertz Carman, Iota, is chairman for the Philippines. She writes: "I am sorry we Thetas in Manila do not join your legion of Theta clubs all over the world, but there are seldom four or five of us in the city at any one time. Vacations here come only about every two or three years, and then last for from six months to a year, according to the rules and regulations of the firms for whom the husbands may be working. In between times the wives may spend a couple of months in the mountains, or in China or Japan, or anyone of many foreign spots about the Orient. Thus we are seldom settled enough to meet as a club. We do enjoy meeting any new Theta who may come this way, if she will drop us a card, — and can get together those who are in town, for a cup of tea or a swim or a bridge game or sightseeing."
Page 36
[288] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Ann Pallet* Lyon, Alpha Xi, came back to this country last sum¬ mer from Chili, where her husband had been a mining engineer with the Chili exploration company. She wrote, on her way home: "I have not seen a Theta in three years, and this letter (from the Chairman for foreign lands) is the first I remember receiving. But we must remember that postal service is not at all perfect in this country. Some poor native has probably been trying to learn English from it. Chuquicamata is the driest, highest, and largest mine of its kind. It is interesting, but a trying place to live. Fortunately they were in need of a teacher when I arrived, so I have been teaching ever since. It has kept me busy and interested, because, although it’s an American school, the greater majority of the pupils never have and never will see the United States.” Marjorie Crothers Beacham, Psi, lives in Nigeria, West Africa, at the Sudan interior mission. She says: "The work here is in the primary stages. For example, each after¬ noon I have a class of girls and young women who are only beginning to wear a bit of cloth. Till very recently their dress consisted of some beads, a few leaves, and a smile (not always the latter). Many of the older ones know the taste of human flesh. Even today some still practise cannibalism, secretly, as it is against British government regu¬ lations. These girls are only beginning to learn to read and write, — a very silly, useless occupation according to their parents’ ideas. Besides the mission work there is my home with three children to attend to. Is the work monotonous, the life lonely, the results unsatisfactory? No, not at all; I would not change for anything.” Edith N. Evans, chairman for foreign lands Probably about the most important general piece of advice is to really work when you study, not play at it. How far would a football player get if he lay around on the grass, occasionally getting up, punting once or twice, and then lapsing back into a doze? Now, honestly, how much do you remember of what is on the pages of that book you hold open while sitting (or reclining) in an easy chair on the porch of the house a beautiful spring afternoon, with a phonograph blaring away next to your ear? Far more profit would result from spending a good hour, or even half that time, indoors in honest labor, and then deliberately enjoying the rest of the afternoon, instead of trying to combine the two. — 2 E Journal, Feb. 1930.

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [293] N.P.C. Meets In Denver By Olga Achtenhagen Eighty-five national fraternity officers attended the National Pan- hellenic congress meeting held at the Brown Palace hotel in Denver, February 23-28. Miss Irma Tapp, Alpha Delta Pi, presided at the business sessions; Miss Rene Sebring Smith, Delta Zeta, who served as secretary, is the new chairman of N.P.C. Mrs Prince, Phi Mu, will serve as secretary during the next two years, and Mrs Redd, Kappa Delta, as treasurer. The business of the Congress included the admission to associate membership of Beta Sigma Omicron, Lambda Omega, and Phi Omega Pi, and the sponsoring of Pi Sigma Gamma. Upon the recommendation of the College panhellenic committee, it was decided to continue advo¬ cating the short, open rush period, and to invite representatives of col¬ lege and city Panhellenics to the 1932 meeting of the Congress. At the Editors’ banquet Monday, February 24, Florence Merdian, Phi Mu, was elected chairman, and Mrs Leland, Alpha Omicron Pi, secretary. A plan of uniform advertising was adopted by some of the editors, and several recommendations were made to the Congress. Western hospitality was decidedly in evidence during the week. Every day there was some sort of entertainment for visitors. The Round up came first; to it were invited several representatives from each group in the city as well as all of the officers at the Convention; next came an auto trip to Boulder, where everyone was entertained at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house by the college Panhellenic. Teas, dinners, parties were given by Denver sorority women for their visiting officers, and finally, there came the banquet, which seven hundred attended. Mrs Lowell White, president of the Denver city Panhellenic, wel¬ comed the visitors, and Miss Tapp responded by introducing all the delegates in turn. The address of the evening was made by the Hon. James Grafton Rogers, dean of the law school at the University of Colorado. He was followed by Mr Denious, former president of Kappa Sigma, who congratulated the Congress upon its achievements.

[294] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] What Is Your Chapter Like? N o fraternity officer visits chapters, without often being asked — "What is - chapter like?" And when she replies, as in all probability she can honestly, "charming girls, an upstanding group of leaders on its campus," the retort is "Really" in a skeptical tone, or glances that proclaim a loss of faith in the officer’s judgment. As such an atmosphere is fatal to the confidence essential for the work the officer has come to do, she must go deeper into the matter, try to find out what prompted the original query. And when all the cards are on the table, it generally appears that the doubt as to the chapter asked about is due to impressions brought from convention. "Their delegate was so loud and so dogmatic." "The delegate from there was so ignorant about fraternity affairs." Their delegate dressed (or rather over-dressed) in such bad taste," and "The delegate from there told our delegate that Thetas on her campus didn’t bother for any but just-get-by grades, and were not interested in activities; they went to college to date, and had more engaged girls in the house than there were in any two other houses." "The dele¬ gate seemed scared to death and was a dud at all spreads or parties." In order to prevent the selection of delegates who might (as many have in the past) unconsciously misrepresent their chapters, the editor asked the District presidents to contribute to a symposium on — what chapters should look for in choosing delegates, what delegates chosen owe to chapters and fraternity — what their responsibilities are. Read and ponder what your leaders have written. Mrs Banta, Grand vice president, was to have written an introduc¬ tion as to the why, and conclusions of the symposium. But Mrs Banta is in a Chicago hospital recovering from a serious operation — and so the editor is introducing the series as best she can, with illustrations of its problems drawn from experience. For the chapter to have the right viewpoint in selecting a delegate is the first right step. Select the girl who can best represent the chapter under convention conditions. What are those conditions? In a space of less than a week, the delegate must meet hundreds of people; must take part in work and play; always must be ready and able to express her chapter’s views; always be tolerant and open minded toward the views of others; al¬ ways be equal to participating in the fellowship and strenuous fun of the between sessions functions. She must have the health, and the will, not to miss anything. She must be able to express herself in
Page 43
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [295] language, correct as to diction, and clear as to thought. She must have sufficient poise and presence to make a good impression both in the debates of general sessions, and also in the more intimate round table groups. She must always look her best and find time to change clothes with weather or event. She must like people. She must be sunny, friendly, and in fact just what most Thetas are on their own campuses, not paragons but real, upstanding college girls. Too often a chapter selects its delegate, as it does its officers, by passing the honors around, some job for every senior and junior, no matter whether she is fitted for the job passed out — or for any job; no matter that this one needs all her time to make passing grades; that one needs all her spare time for the big campus office she holds. All must have some chapter job. Expressing surprise over the selection of a delegate four years ago, I was told by the chapter president that "it was this way. Chapter elections came before student body elections, we thought Sara would be elected president of W.S.G.A. and if so, on our campus, couldn’t hold a fraternity job, so she was not given a chapter office. She was defeated for W.S.G.A. president, and every one felt so sorry, and she was the only senior without some chapter job, so we made her delegate." "The last senior to represent you at con¬ vention," I could not refrain from saying. "Well, yes, perhaps, but what difference does it make. Convention only lasts five days." True, but the impression of a chapter that others get in those five days re¬ mains a fact for years and becomes a sort of legend of what Thetas over the country think the chapter is. It makes a great deal of a difference what impression your delegate makes. It makes as great a difference what she does or does not bring back to the chapter. Unless the chapter profits and develops as a result of representation at convention, it had better not have a delegate there — this end is the responsibility of the delegate, after the chapter has chosen the right delegate. One thing about the symposium puzzles me. All the District presi¬ dents write as if they were thinking only of the college chapter dele¬ gates. Is that because the alumnae chapters show so much better wisdom in choice of delegates? Well, maybe they do show better wisdom, maybe no one judges a whole chapter by an alumna delegate, as they do a college chapter. Any way, with all due respect to the fine alumnae delegates who make con¬ ventions successful, here are a few words for alumnae too. Convention is an excellent place for the leaders of the next year to get inspiration and new ideas for the chapter. Alumnae delegates that
Page 44
[296] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] are good mixers get most, and give most at convention. Alumnae who are old enough to sympathize with youth, or young enough still to be youth itself, are more popular, therefore get more from convention to take back, than the alumnae out of college just long enough to think their own chapters — and many others — has gone to pot since they left, so bring to convention a critical frame of mind about everything and every¬ body. And alumnae delegates, here is a formula to help along your popu¬ larity with the college delegates. Soft pedal your objections to ex¬ tension: not on the floor of convention where debate should be free and frank, but in the casual conversation, where many a delegate hears newer chapters so lumped as undesired that she feels her chapter should never have been born — feels some what the way misguided chapters make pledges feel at times — but she doesn’t take it like pledges are thought to take humiliation, she goes forth to tell others that the alumnae are against us — and the results of this side play is not to the liking of any one. Keep away from personalites, be tolerant, welcome all that are Thetas and try to find out what good points they have as such; look to the future, or at least to the present, and occasionally for¬ get to sing the praises of the time "when I was in college.” As the delegate gets on the train for Toronto she should forget herself and become the spokesman of her chapter. Her name in reality is not Mary Jones, but is Pi Xi, or whatever is the name of the chapter she represents. Other delegates are going to receive an opinion of the chapter according to the personality of the delegate. Therefore, she should conduct herself in a way that will bring credit to the group who sent her. First, it is necessary that she not only attend every business meeting but that she take an active part in it. A delegate should know and ex¬ press her chapter’s opinions on matters that will be discussed at con¬ vention. Second, each delegate should go there with the desire to get as much information as possible that will be of benefit to her chapter. It should also be her desire to help other delegates by explaining methods that have proved successful in her chapter. The more friends she makes for herself, the more she makes for the girls she represents. A girl owes it to her chapter and to her fraternity to enthusiastically enter into the activities and pleasures of convention so that she may do her part toward making convention a success. Josephine Duval
Page 45
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [297] As the spring months approach, plans for convention grow more alluring. Soon delegates will be chosen and many others will be think¬ ing of joining the procession to Toronto in July. In the foreground of all anticipation is the thought of jolly times, old friends and new bound together with the same ties and interests. Travelling together can do more to cement the bonds of friendship than years of casual meetings. So much for the personal pleasures in store for each convention delegate. Yet, the acceptance of that privilege brings certain respon¬ sibilities. A delegate must be ready at all times to represent her chapter faithfully and to its best interests. That means putting aside personal considerations. If she keeps careful notes she will be able in the fall to make the convention a real and living thing to those of her chapter who were not able to be there. In short the able delegate is the one who out of the many discussions and contacts chooses and makes her own those ideas and suggestions which will be of real benefit to her own Chapter. Lois Zeitlin It is not only an honor and a privilege to be a chapter delegate to convention, it is a decided responsibility as well. Grand conven¬ tion is the governing body of the fraternity. There the laws are made and executed. It is necessary therefore, that each delegate know the laws of the fraternity at the present time, and that she inform herself on the problems to be discussed by convention. She is the representa¬ tive of her chapter, hence she must ascertain the opinion of her chapter on these various problems and appear at convention equipped to dis¬ cuss the various points, not as an individual but as a chapter delegate. Each convention delegate must feel that the most she can take back to her chapter from convention is the least she can give them in return for the favor conferred upon her in electing her delegate. Many times it would be more pleasant for a delegate to swim, golf, or ride than at¬ tend a group discussion or a round table, but the girl who cannot forego these pleasure when the need arises ought to go to convention as a visit- ing and not an official delegate. Ethel Atkins Nickerson It is an honor to represent one’s chapter but it is also a responsibility. A girl must be able to take to convention the viewpoint and arguments of her chapter and present them in a clear and positive fashion before the gathered assembly. However she must be open minded to others’ points of view and be willing to change her opinions if it seems for the greatest good. The delegate must remember that upon her depends
Page 46
[298] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] what her chapter is going to receive from convention. She must be willing to attend every session and listen carefully to the discussion. Her chapter will be interested not only in the decisions of convention but in the arguments put forward either for or against a question. The girl must be willing to serve on committees and cooperate with others in any work at hand. Finally she must catch that spirit of Theta sister¬ hood — ideals of love and neighborliness — to carry back to her chapter so that it may realize that other chapters are as important as itself and we are all one little part of the great Theta chain. Rachel Sumner Poole Election of the delegate to convention is coming. Who will be the lucky one? Maybe I should say the plucky one? I believe more pluck than luck is needed to make a successful dele¬ gate to a Theta convention. However the right person is not only will¬ ing to accept the responsibilities demanded of her, but capable as well. The chosen one should not be afraid of presenting her facts from the convention floor. She should have an inquiring bent of mind in order to learn customs and new ideas. At the same time a tolerance for the opinions of others is needed, with a feeling of good fellow¬ ship toward all. The delegate should be glad that it was her privilege to share the companionship of those whose ideas and customs vary somewhat from her own. As a result of her visit, the person sent should be capable of bring¬ ing back to her group renewed vigor and loyalty and a greater love for the fraternity. LvDIA So, what kind of girl should a delegate be? In one thing I’m sure that you all will agree. It is this: she must willingly stand on her feet And tell us her chapter cannot be beat! She must be honest and faithful and true, Be alert to her duty to see a thing through, Be chockful of sympathy, have eyes keen for fun, Be ready for anything that’s to be done To make this convention the best one in years. For this kind of delegate I’d give three cheers! Mary Rieman
Page 47
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [299] Necessarily, there are two points of view from which a chapter dele¬ gate to convention should be chosen; — that which she can give to con¬ vention, and that which she can give to the chapter on her return. For the first she should be attractive, be able to meet people graciously, make friends readily, and at the same time, be competent to absorb everything, be willing to work, and to have the fine qualities of general capability to sustain these first impressions. The sec¬ ond, that which she can give to the chapter, is more important. Having absorbed everything convention has to offer, she must be able to en¬ thusiastically impart all the suggestions and inspiration to the chapter. Like most honors, election as delegate, carries big responsibilities. In summary, she must be that general ''all-around” girl, the finest each chapter can send, and if the chapter has elected the most capable girl as president, she is the logical choice for delegate, as she weilds the greatest diversified influence in the chapter. Virginia Walker A Valentine for Alpha Mu ST. valentine’s day! For all Thetas of Alpha Mu chapter that day should be especially significant, for it was on St. Valentine’s day that a group of Theta Mothers endowed Alpha Mu’s chapter house. Seven years ago, a few days before February 14, several Kansas City Theta Mothers held a meeting by telephone. The outcome was a de¬ cision to send Valentines to their daughters at college in the form of unusual good things to eat. Consequently there arrived at 705 Ken¬ tucky boulevard on February 13, mysterious and numerous packages. Upon investigation, we recipients of these parcels, also found notes from our Mothers, instructing us to keep quiet about our boxes until the four¬ teenth, when the whole chapter should share in our feast and fun. The chapter was duly impressed and surprised. There was every delicacy appropriate to the occasion that a co-ed might sigh for. And this was but a preliminary for what was to follow in Kansas City. Our Mothers had derived so much pleasure from planning the Val¬ entine boxes, that the instigators, Mrs Horn (Mother of Helen) Mrs Ragland (Mother of Frances) Mrs Duysing (Mother of Grace and Frances) and Mrs Duval (Mother of Virginia) decided to form a Mothers’ club.
Page 48
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [300] The Theta Mothers’ club, with officers and monthly meetings was soon organized, with more interested Theta Mothers joining each month. Benefit parties, and rummage sales were made successful by tireless Mothers in the club, who worked ceaselessly for funds to benefit Alpha Mu. As a result the chapter received such needed gifts as living room rugs, bridge lamps, tables, linens, draperies. Each year fine necessities or luxuries are added to the chapter house as gifts from the Theta Mothers’ club. The club’s continued success is assured. Today there are thirty interested members, who attend the monthly luncheon meetings. A few of the charter members are still actively interested, which is proof of the place the organization has made for itself in service. Now money comes from dues and special personal contributions, rather than through money making enterprises. Might this Kansas City Theta Mothers’ club be an incentive for similar clubs in other cities. The club is not only an opportunity to do something worth while for Theta daughters (for beautifying a chapter house is worth while) but it also enables the Mothers to become acquainted with each other. This friendly contact between Mothers of Theta house mates, is a pleasing one which affords an insight into fraternity life as a whole and a wider understanding of the college environment of daughters. Virginia Duval Race, Alpha Mu Fraternity Magazine Salaries ( Survey made by L. F. Leland, TKE, for College fraternity editors' association ) Money, money, who gets the money,” may have been the thought in the minds of the several fraternity editors and business man¬ agers last year when they suggested that the incoming administration of the College fraternity editors’ association conduct a survey of the mem¬ bership to determine how generally salaries were paid, whether or not the majority did their work as a "labor of love,” and what the average of salaries paid might be. Money is of great import to us all, and it was in the spirit of being of definite service that such a survey was made by the questionnaire route.
Page 49
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [301] The results were surprising enough. In the first place nearly 50 per cent of the total membership replied to the questionnaire, the majority of these, in turn, being editors. This is not a condemnation of laxity on the part of business managers so much as it is an explanation that many editors are also business managers, and that many business managers are also secretaries receiving their salaries for secretarial work rather than devoting any great amount of time to the business management of the fraternity magazine. In the second place it was surprising to note at first blush that "the labor of love" idea is almost as obsolete as the Saturday night bath and the old surrey, for out of the thirty-nine part-time (or should we say "night-time") editors it was found that twenty-seven are paid and twelve are not. Again, it was surprising to note that the five full-time editors who reported, have excellent jobs, and we hereby go on record as favoring full-time jobs for all college fraternity editors. The average for fully employed editors is $4,660. But to the report. There were, as we have said, forty-eight replies. Thirty-nine are part-time editors, five are full-time; four editors are also business managers, and one manager is also secretary. These forty-eight editors receive during the year $61,290. The thirty- nine part-time editors receive a total of $28,490 in salaries ranging from nothing to $2,000, while the lowest paid editor in this group receives $50. The average for the thirty-nine is therefore (counting the twelve who receive nothing) $730 per year. Deducting the twelve who work gratis we have an average of $1,141, which, if this report is to be ac¬ cepted as criterion, is what the part-time average editor can expect his fraternity to pay him. Turning now to the full-time editors we find that the lowest is paid $1,800 and the highest $7,500. The total is $23,300 or an average of $4,660. Explanation must be made here that nearly all of the full-time editors act as business managers of their magazines and assist with office work, inspections, issue secret publications, and do other miscellaneous work. The oldest fraternity represented has fifty chapters, is ninety-six years of age and pays its editor $600 per year. The youngest represented is five years old and pays its editor $500. Quarterlies still hold the preponderance of favor. Of the number questioned twenty-eight publish four times each year, three publish five times, two publish six times, two publish seven times, four publish eight (Please turn to page 335)

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA} [302] The Kite All omens point to the 1930 convention as the best in Theta history: ^ five inspiring days in which chapter horizons will be broadened and Theta history enriched, when above all the international aspect of the fraternity will be emphasized and strengthened. This lends a particu¬ lar significance to the Kite, official organ of convention, in which all circumstances and proceedings will be recorded. An issue of the Kite will come out every day of convention, July 3 to 7 inclusive, totalling five issues. If you are coming to convention, you will find especially useful the programmes of activities, the informa¬ tion about Toronto, and last-minute news from day to day. If you are not coming to convention, you will be eager to learn not only of the ac¬ tivities of your sisters, but of the business done, the reports of com¬ mittees and the suggestions exchanged. Whether you are coming to Toronto during those fateful days or not, you will want tangible evi¬ dence of both programmes and business, and the gay informal notes about your chapter sisters and the other Theta sisters whom you have met or may meet some day. Above all you will want to catch some of that spirit which is going to characterize this convention, the inter¬ national spirit which is beyond everything expressive of what Kappa Alpha Theta means. Alumnae and actives alike will want to know every detail of con¬ vention news. For those attending convention the Kite subscription of half a dollar is included in the registration fee; if you cannot be at con¬ vention, fill out and post, with fifty cents, the subscription blank printed in this issue and the Kite will be mailed to you. If you lose the sub¬ scription blank, your name, address, fifty cents, and a brief request will be sufficient. To accomplish the purpose of the Kite to the fullest extent possible, every Theta must do her part. The core of the fraternity, that con¬ sciousness of a sisterhood flung over a continent, yet of which each member is a vital unit, makes this essential. Every Theta must know just what is being done by the Thetas with whom she is in immediate contact. Chapter editors and alumnae leaders in particular are urged to send suggestions and items of interest as promptly as possible to the editor. The Kite is more than a newspaper, more than a notice-board — it is the mirror of the activities and the spirit of an international sisterhood during the period when activities and spirit are alike most highly con¬ centrated — convention.

[314] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] CHI— SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY Initiated: Jane Buck and Ruth Richards, November 2. November 8 the chapter gave a tea honoring Mrs Mabel Stilwell and her friends. Chi has discussion groups every Monday evening after chapter meeting, when various topics are brought up and problems talked about. At one meeting we were honored by the Dean of women, Dr Iva L. Peters, alumna of Chi, who spoke on the Newer Syracuse, discussing the progress of education in the university. Outside friendships and Budgeting of time are other topics which have been discussed. Panhellenic has adopted a new rushing system which will cover two weeks immediately after the opening of college in September and eliminate personal dating. We hope this new plan may correct many of the problems of rushing. 31 January 1930 Jean Muller Hilda DeBrine is secretary to the School of medicine and dentistry at the University of Rochester, working directly under Dean Edward Whiffle.

Page 63
[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [315] rushing parties, and at one we had the honor of entertaining our Grand presi¬ dent, Mrs Moore, as well.

M. jr.) lives at 624 23d st. Santa Monica, Calif. ALPHA BETA— SWARTH MORE COLLEGE Alpha Beta has inaugurated the delightful custom of tea-drinking. It is a delightful liquid in which to drown your sorrows, and secondly it is an appetiz¬ ing way of collecting girls from all parts of campus, whereas so doing is usually a difficult task for a chapter whose central point is a lodge, not a house. This tea-drinking proved so stimulating that we have several times had dinners in the lodge before meetings, the Christmas one being the best of all, with a roaring fire, a fine tree, Dickens’ Christmas story and some Christmas carols. We have instituted Friday evening bridge parties on which occasions the low scorer is obliged to purchase a victrola record for the chapter. And while dwelling on sordid money matters, may we also submit a plan of acquiring money which we have revived from three years past. In brief we chose the most forlorn district in Philadelphia and staged a rummage sale — which heightened chapter spirit remarkably and also added considerable affluence to our needy furniture fund. Activities: Caroline Jackson and Elma Hurlock, vice-president and secretary of junior class. Swimming team — Dorothy Keller, Caroline Jackson, Priscilla Rawson, and Edith Jackson. Basketball team — Helen Booth, Elma Hurlock, Elizabeth Stirling, Mary Cookman. Catherine Hatfield, member of Student curricular committee; Dorothy Keller, of Student government dance committee, Katharine Smedley, of Honor committee. 27 January 1930 Louise Yerkes Engagements announced on Christmas day: Mary Sullivan to Henry C.

Dr Dorothy Stimson, Dean, has been appointed Acting president. February 3, the first day of the new semester, alumnae, members and pledges met for an informal supper in Alumnae lodge; a belated celebration of Founders’- day.

This carnival was given by the women’s fraternities to raise funds for a grand piano in the Woman’s building. Isabell Louis received her emblem at the W.A.A. banquet. Only two other girls received this highest honor at that banquet; the emblem represents 1,000 points won in athletics. Ruth Hafner, president of W.A.A. received her em¬ blem last year.

The banquet was presided over by Dorothy Baker, as umpire, with toasts from each class and alumnae, inspired by their relative positions on the baseball diamond and from a coaching position on the bench. Our annual Christmas party, at the chapter house, included class stunts and a real Santa who distributed exchange presents. Through the combined efforts of our house mother, Mrs Watson, some of our mothers, and Seattle alumnae, we were provided with cocktail forks, butter spreaders and spoons which we needed and for which we are certainly grateful. Much to every one’s delight the chapter room was redecorated during vacation. A greater part of the chapter is looking forward to a week-end in Vancouver, for the installation of the Theta chapter at the University of British Columbia. 28 January 1930 Dorothy Evans Margret Lewis has gone on a trip to California.

The chapter was not able to attend Detroit Founders’-day luncheon January 18, but sent Lois Crane, Margaret Ryan, Evelyn Hardy, and Amy Jean Veneklasen as representatives. Lansing alumnae had its Founders’-day banquet January 25 at the Hotel Olds. Mabel Moshier was in charge and Mrs Berdice Spedding Vandervoort was toastmistress. As part of the program there was a pageant showing the development of Kappa Alpha Theta from the days of 1870. January 25 was also the date of our winter term dinner-dance at the Hotel Olds: among alumnae back were Dorothy Butler, Jane Dean, Helen Crane, and Margaret McKay Foster. Sarah Shaw was awarded a prize of $30 for the highest freshman record in the Applied science division and also a scholarship cup given by Tau Sigma, honorary society for applied science and liberal arts students. The prizes were presented at an all college convocation.

BETA RHO— DUKE UNIVERSITY Beta Rho was honored in December by a visit from Lydia Schuler, new Dis¬ trict president. Miss Schuler’s visit was a real inspiration to chapter and pledges, who thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The night before Christmas holidays Santa Claus found his way to the Theta chapter room and left a gift for every one. He didn’t forget Lib Rucker in the hospital with appendicitis, for the chapter sent her a lovely little Christmas tree hung with numerous gifts with appropriate rhymes attached. Founders’-day was celebrated by an informal supper served by the pledges in the chapter room. Beta Rho will put on a stunt in the Post-exam jubilee. Elizabeth Rucker is chairman of the jubilee, sponsored each year by Y.W.C.A. Adelaide Royall Noel brought Algernon Jr. to visit the chapter. He is our first Theta baby and we are proud of him.

The present group of pledges is the first we have had control over as a chapter, and much of our work has been with them; for instance, we have study hall for two hours every afternoon for pledges who received deficiencies at mid-term. (We are proud to say that only four received deficiencies ! ) Among other things, we have drawn up our first house rules. It seems queer to have house rules for our one room! The most interesting social affair was our Christmas tree, our very first! Besides initiates and pledges, Dallas alumnae, visiting Thetas, and Thetas home from college were present also. There were amusing gifts for all, and every one brought something for the room. The pledges gave us a lovely end table. We have been invited to several lovely teas, given by our alumnae. We think a lot of these little affairs that bring us in closer contact with alumnae. Madeline Roach was elected to Junior Arden, dramatic club, and will take a leading part in its next play. Mary Netterville is also taking a leading part in another play. Plans have been made for two dates during mid-term rush: one a formal dinner the last night. 25 January 1930 Mary Netterville BETA TAU— DENISON UNIVERSITY January 8 pledged: Elizabeth Bratten, Dorothy Kramer (sister of Florence and Louise) and Kathryn Braunschweiger, Dayton; Jean Woodbury (daughter of Abbie Geach Woodbury) Rochester, New York; Wilhelmina Breitenweischer, Detroit, Michigan; Bettie Ann Hess (sister of Helen Hess Calhoun) Canton; Ann Platt, Mt.

River Forest, Ill. Fraternity Magazine Salaries (Continued from page 300) issues, one nine and one ten. Of the remaining number the fraternity name was not listed and no frequency mentioned. It is interesting to note that forty-six of the forty-eight reporting signed their names, and their fraternity affiliation. Interesting sidelights that bear commenting reveal that only twelve out of forty-eight do not receive salaries for their efforts, and of this number only one stated that his was a "labor of love" and that none of his fraternity officials were paid. Five reported that all their expenses were paid and that they were allowed an indefinite sum with no re¬ strictions, for stenographic hire. One reported that he was given a budget, a set of specifications as to the size of the magazine, and was allowed to keep whatever was left after all expenses were paid: un¬ doubtedly an incentive toward efficiency. One editor receives, in addi¬ tion to his salary, a paid-up $25,000 life insurance policy at the age of sixty, and one reported a step-up from $720 to $1,000 a year plus ex¬ penses. There is, apparently, no relationship between the age and size of fraternity (based on membership and numerical chapter strength), and the frequency of issue and the amount of salary paid the editor. It is apparent, however, that a fraternity, in order to support a full-time editor, must have a chapter strength of more than fifty, for of the five full-time editors reporting, the smallest has fifty-four chapters and the largest has ninety-two, while the youngest is sixty-one years old. — Banta’s Greek Exchange, January, 1930 "We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light". — R. W. Emerson
