KAPPA ALPHA THETA May, Nineteen Thirty Official Convention hile everyone at convention is eager to know who W is who, interest centers especially around the re¬ sponsible official delegates, as they are omnipresent and loquacious at every convention event. So this magazine introduces them to readers, and to one another, hoping that introductions over, in Toronto ac¬ quaintanceship may more quickly ripen into friendship and fellowship.

[380] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] The Masquerade u Aha!" shouted Sherlock Holmes "The mystery has been solved!" jTV — and so shout we of Sigma chapter, who are now able to dis¬ close the details of the masquerade and stunt night to be held on the Saturday evening of the convention week-end. The masquerade is to take the form of a pageant of Canadian his¬ tory. At once the question arises "What do our American sisters know of Canadian history?" The reply is simple — "Our ancestors made his¬ tory together for the greater part of the period." And so, having settled that question, let us sit down in peace and choose costumes. Sylvia Hahn, Sigma’s artist, has once more come to the rescue with a sketch depicting prominent figures in the early days of Canada. Behold on the left Christopher Columbus himself. He has just come ashore, and eagerly views the land. Next to him are two Indians, and we hope that those who wish to adopt their costume will have the dis¬ cretion to choose that of the Indian on the left! A Champlain or Jacques Cartier stands stoutly in the centre, and next to him a Jesuit priest. On the right stand Seigneur and Coureur de bois, and finally a pitiful group of Acadians, exiled from their homes. The majority of these figures are men — but do not let that discourage you! The cowboy and Indian will charm those Thetas who long for the free wild West. We have not yet asked permission of the Royal York to admit horses to the masquerade, so perhaps it would be wise to discard that part of the costume. But before altogether banishing the horse from the picture, let me suggest one more, on whose back is seated a Royal Mounted policeman.

Page 29

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [381] Alison Ewart has very kindly supplied the following list of well known characters — most of which are women. This will be of assist¬ ance to those who prefer to remain feminine. 1. Champlain, and Helene his young wife of twenty-two, who came to Canada in 1608 and lived in Quebec for three years. 2. Hebert, the first Canadian farmer and his wife. Their farm was situated where the city of Quebec now is. They were the first Canadian colonists. 3. "Les Filles du Roi” — those brave maidens sent out by Louis XIV from France to be brides for the French colonists. 4. The Ursuline Sisters who came to Quebec about 1642. Of these especially Marie de l’lncarnation. 5. Maisonneuve who founded Montreal in 1642 as a mission colony. 6. Jeanne Mance, the first Canadian nurse, and foundress of the hospital in Montreal. 7. Marguerite Bourgeoys, who opened her first school in a barn. 8. Madeline de Vercheres, who in 1692 at the age of 14, defended her father’s seigniory against the Iroquois. 9. Evangeline and the other exiles from Acadia. (See Longfel¬ low’s poem Evangeline .) 10. The Coureurs de bois — picturesque unlicensed traders in fur with the Indians. 11. La Verendye and others — explorers of the west. 12. The gay court at Quebec under the intendant Bigot, before the fall of Quebec, when New France copied the elegant court at Ver¬ sailles. 13. Wolfe and Montcalm and others during the period of the fall of Quebec.

Page 30

[382] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] 14. The many participants in the American Revolution. The United Empire Loyalists. 15. The War of 1812. The capture of Toronto — then known as "Muddy little York" — by the Americans. Laura Secord. 16. The Rebellion of 1837. 17. 1867. — The Fathers of confederation. Books of reference that will be found useful are: Colby — Canadian types of the Old Regime. Makers of Canada series. Chronicles of Canada. These are merely suggestions — you may have many more original ones yourselves. A representative of the Hudson Bay co. would be most welcome, as would also a Maria Chapdelaine. And so from Christopher Columbus to the Fathers of confederation — and indeed right down to our very own grandparents — come one, come all, and we shall make merry together in the Royal York on Saturday, July 5. Clothes, Study, Maps There is no need to make further comment on the other events of convention. May I mention just three things. The first is in answer to various questions as to what clothes to bring to convention. For the daytime a tailored dress — probably that in which you travel — and a summer dress would provide for whatever weather is in vogue. Those who wish to play golf at the Royal York golf club should of course make provision for that. At the banquet on Monday night evening dress will be worn. A light summer dress (or afternoon dress of any description) and hat will be sufficient for all other events. The second fact to be mentioned is that Thetas who wish to attend the Summer session at the University of Toronto may obtain informa¬ tion about this upon application to the Secretary, U. C. Women’s union, University of Toronto. Lastly, the Imperial Oil co. has a most excellent motor map of Canada and the United States. It can be mailed free of charge to those who apply. And so — "Au Revoir!!”

Down at the station that day, a large group of Thetas will await the arrival of the honored guests, and the plans from that moment until the Canadian Pacific crack express leaves for Toronto at 3. a.m. are a well-guarded secret. Suffice it to say, Detroit Thetas will make the most of their oppor¬ tunity. If you wish to pry out some information, or any information for that matter, regarding your stop in Detroit, and the very, very secret plans that are laid, just drop a line to "Bobbie” Phelps. (Mrs Marx Phelps, 2639 Tuxedo avenue, Detroit, Michigan.) Or if you want to give her a call, her telephone number is Arlington 8146. The rates are low after 8:30 p.m. Elsa Patterson Scholarship: "Estimate the time per week of actual study and then try to think of some business or profession in which you could succeed with so little effort.” — 2 N — Delta

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [385] What to Pack for Convention What shall I take to convention?” That this question will be asked many times in the coming months is a logical assumption. Logical likewise, is the presumption that most of these queries will relate to the number of hats and dresses, weight of coats, species of sports apparel advisable for a sorority con¬ vention. Lest your packing ardor come to an end in a maze of perfumes and powders, compacts and cameras, scissors and slippers, we nominate for your essential equipment: One determination to do your share in furthering Sigma Kappa’s progress in all lines. One alert interest in items of business submitted for this conven¬ tion’s consideration, and one comprehensive knowledge of your chap¬ ter’s stand on all the matters. One complete understanding of business items submitted by your chapter. It is difficult to be nonchalant when your chapter is announced from the platform as the donor and you as defender of an item you never heard of. One usable knowledge of parliamentary law. It will help in sav¬ ing time and trouble. One acquaintance with business discussed at previous conventions, that you will not be one to waste time by plodding over old battle grounds. One intimacy with the chapter roll, lest "Lambda feels” and "Psi believes” disturb you unduly. One familiarity with names and accomplishments of national officers. One inquisitive nature, to annex suggestions from other chapters successful in meeting certain of your problems. One retentive memory to hold correctly all discussions and decisions of convention for your chapter. If you cannot annex this, substitute an extra pencil and a larger notebook. One urge for friendships with girls from other chapters. One rested self, so that you may enter fully into the "extra-cur¬ ricular” as well as regular convention activities without loss of time in catching up in sleep. One desire to derive all the fun possible from the convention and the boat party. 2 K Triangle, March, 1928

Page 34

[386] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Some of Convention’s Hostesses eneva came to Toronto for three days in February, when a Model vT assembly of the League of nations was held at the university. To Betty Lang, Sigma, was due the inspiration, and much of the or¬ ganization. Betty is the sort of person who is always having ideas, and propounding them with an enthusiasm which is infectious, so that they have a way of becoming translated into fact before anyone quite realizes what has happened. So in the case of the Model assembly. A suggestion in a committee — and the whole thing was started, with Betty as president of the League of nations club. For Canadian stu¬ dents, the prospect was new and intriguing, though such assemblies had been held in universities across the border. An enormous amount of work was necessary. The faculty helped willingly, and Betty found a mine of information in Professor N. A. Mackenzie, at one time legal advisor to the International labour office. For months Betty Lang was a woman of one idea; the League was with her an obsession. The customary question at each chapter meet¬ ing "Any reports on college activities?” brought the invariable "Yes, about the League . . . and the chapter settled down meekly to a hail of appeals. For the most part, there was little need for coaxing. Stu¬ dents all over the university were anxious to take part. The idea of featuring as the delegate for Russia, for the Argentine, for all sorts of places, from Timbuctoo to Greenland’s icy mountains, was not without its appeal to the imagination. Betty and her fellow workers pursued the more unwilling with lists of countries and topics, and a flow of eloquent argument. To those who protested feebly their inability to speak in public the committee offered a choice of a dozen other jobs, until atlasses, news clippings, histories, and foreign consuls were alike beleaguered by seekers after knowledge. The Model assembly was not a purely local affair. It became lit¬ erally international. When the members assembled, there were seven Princeton men, two girls from Vassar, and delegates from five Canadian universities. India was represented by a student from the University of Calcutta, China by the Chinese Nationalist party of America, Japan by Japanese students, and Latvia by a Lett. The delegates for France came from Ottawa, and two of them spoke in French. The interpreter, M. Rooney Pelletier, was a French-Canadian. National animosities were laid aside, in true League spirit, when the Arabs of the Hedjaz were represented by a Jewish rabbi. The sessions and reports, some of them broadcast by radio, were

Page 35

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [387] no less interesting than the personnel of the assembly. Nora Doran, as delegate from Russia, made an outstanding speech, and other Thetas figured in less prominent roles. The diminutive page-boys added not a little to the effect, and enjoyed themselves hugely delivering notes, al¬ though slightly puzzled by the delegation from Holland labelled "Pays- Bas.’ Sir Herbert Ames, at one-time chairman of the Finance com¬ mittee of the League of nations, was one of the special speakers. On Sunday, Canon Cody delivered in St. Paul’s the sermon which he preached at Geneva in 1928. Altogether, February 21 to 23 were great days, and Sigma was justly proud of the part played by Betty Lang both then, and in the weeks of organization beforehand. Managing to look cool and collected in the whirl of activity, she attended sessions, teas and dinners, and, presiding at the luncheon held at the Royal York, introduced distinguished speakers with admirable sang-froid. In proof of her efficiency, she has been re-elected to the executive of the League of nations club, still seeking, like Alexander, for new fields to conquer. Hart house theater saw the production, from March 11 to 15, of the revue, The way of the world by Maureen O’Mara, pledge. Maureen, red-haired, pale, and interesting, has composed ever since she can re¬ member. Last year she wrote the lyrics for the musical comedy Honey- boy, by Howard Lindsay, also an undergraduate, which was the talk of the campus for weeks. This year both staged productions of their own. The university is becoming quite accustomed to advertisements in The Varsity, encouraging aspirants to fame through footlights to apply for chorus positions. The way of the world lives up to its title. The scene shifts from Canada to London, Paris and New York, from the underworld to the college campus. The opening scene is a tableau in Paul Poiret’s salon, there is a melodramatic episode in a cabaret, a clever skit Picking ’em up in London and some good comedy, particularly in OH Central which features a hardboiled hotel switchboard operator in action. The in¬ evitable negro and Scotchman received their due attention. A revue with twenty-two scenes is an ambitious undertaking for an eighteen-year-old girl. The new songs, especially Melancholy Moon, the new dance Campus crawl, and an excellent orchestra, the Varsity entertainers, made thoroughly good entertainment. As one Toronto paper said: "The way of the World is refreshing, for it interprets the spirit of youth seen by youth itself, not as oldsters think it is viewed by them. It is sophisticated, of course, modern youth is; and it is jazzy, though not alarmingly so. In any event it is alive and worth seeing.” Mary A. Campbell

[388] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Convention Visitors Coming Via Buffalo Buffalo thetas are looking forward to seeing motorists, and others who will come to Toronto through Buffalo, at a Dutch treat dinner which they have arranged for the evening of July 2, at the Statler hotel. The cost will be $1.50 and reservations will be received by Mrs R. V. S. Richmond, 73 Lisbon avenue, Buffalo. They recommend the Statler as a stopping place for all who will remain in Buffalo over night. Founders’ Day NEW YORK CITY Founders’-day banquet in New York City this year was a particu¬ larly enjoyable occasion. Through the kindness of Philadelphia alumnae we had the great distinction of having Mrs Hamilton as our guest of honor. The Ball room of the Panhellenic club house was gaily decorated with spring flowers and impressed one with the coming of springtime. One was reminded of our song ’’From coast to coast, from the north to the southland” as the roll call was answered. Miss Helen Waldo, president of New York alumnae, opened the banquet with a greeting to our one hundred guests, and lighted four candles in honor of the Founders of Kappa Alpha Theta. Before Mrs Hamilton took us back so vividly to the early days of Thetahood, Alpha Kappa presented a corsage of sweet peas to Mrs Louis Wilputte, newly elected president of District VII. Following the luncheon, the afternoon was devoted to our guest of honor who told us so humorously and clearly of the early founding of Kappa Alpha Theta and related to us the struggles four girls endured to perpetuate their ideals of gold. Mrs Hamilton remained for several days at the Panhellenic club, as a guest of New York alumnae, before returning to her home. Lillian M. Wait

SHANGHAI In the flowery land where kites originated, where age is rever¬ enced, and the sixtieth birthday anniversary is an occasion of the greatest festivity, Kappa Alpha Theta Founders’-day 1930 was cele¬ brated by a tiffin given by Grace Boggs Service, Omega, in her attractive home. This year Founders’-day and Chinese New Years nearly coin¬ cided — meaning, according to Chinese ideas, the beginning of spring, which assured us a fine day instead of the proverbial snowstorm we used to experience in Washington. Since the government has banned the lunar New Year, ordering the people to observe the Western one, we could make believe that all those popping fire crackers were going off in our honor. Chinese homes were decked profusely with the traditional boughs of heavenly bamboo and "la-mei” (red berries and yellow blossoms respectively) in spite of official disfavor. Mrs Service, however, succeeded in decorating her table with black and gold pansies, and yellow kite-shaped place cards. Copies in black and gold of poems by Ethel Arnold Tilden Alpha ( Two prayers for the New Year) were distributed. Ten Thetas were present — if not quite “From coast to coast,” at least representing chapters from California to New York state, and from Alpha to Omega and beyond! This was said to be the largest Theta gathering in Shanghai’s his¬ tory — we may have a Far Eastern chapter yet! Two regular residents were unable to be present: Virginia Hawkins Bills, Alpha Beta, who

Page 38

[390] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] was on a trip to Manila, and Dorothy McGuire Hansen, Alpha Xi, to whom was born a daughter on January 11. What, you may ask, brings so many Thetas to Shanghai? Of the ten present, two were teachers; two, wives of St. John’s university pro¬ fessors; three, of mission executives; and the others, of an engineer for a large foreign firm, a Standard Oil man, and an adviser to the Ministry of Finance. Their names follow: Mary Towne Lockwood, Alpha; Grace Corbett Wells and Katharine Seelye Wallace, Epsilon; Florence B. Patterson, Epsilon and Psi; Elizabeth Nichols Throop, Iota; Rafaela Tennant Dorrance, Tau; Grace Boggs Service and Irene Bangs Barton, Omega; Bess Lipscomb Sullivan, Alpha Eta; and Grace Darling, Beta Theta. It has been a pleasure this winter to welcome three Thetas on world tours as they stopped in Shanghai: Mrs Walter, Alpha Beta, well- known in the fraternity as a former Grand president; her young daugh¬ ter, Mrs Thompson, also of Alpha Beta; and Laura Fulton, Epsilon. May we extend a cordial invitation to traveling Thetas to let their presence in Shanghai be known? Mrs R. R. Service can be located in the Shanghai telephone directory if you forget or lose her address: 625 Route Sieyes. Katharine Seelye Wallace i PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia Thetas enjoyed a unique and memorable Founders’- day celebration. The program chairman of Philadelphia alumnae met Betty Locke Hamilton on a recent visit to Indiana. On her suggestion the alumnae chapter invited Mrs Hamilton, our sole living Founder, to be the honored guest and speaker at the annual banquet. The an¬ swer came back that, weather and health permitting, Mrs Hamilton would be delighted to attend — and she did! To those of us who were privileged to see and hear this active, sprightly, humorous, and quick¬ witted octagenerian, it seemed impossible to believe that she had reached her seventy-ninth birthday, as she confidentially and gleefully told us. The supper was at the Warburton house, the finest residential and transient hotel for women in Philadelphia. After the banquet, Mrs Hamilton arose, and in her inimitabel manner, described the courage of "the four, bold girls” who had founded Theta, their trials and encourage¬ ments, and their final triumph when Kappa Alpha Theta became an established fact. As a climax to her visit, Mrs Hamilton visited Alpha Beta at Swarth- more college, was taken to Atlantic City for her first visit there, and then concluded her two-weeks’ stay by being the guest of honor at a luncheon

Page 39

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [391] of New York alumnae. The memory of this energetic, capable (for she traveled from Indiana alone) and whimsical old lady with her original observations on life and the young people of today, will live long in the memories of those Thetas who celebrated a real Founders’-day with her. Miriam Jenkins Elsbree COLORADO Taking advantage of the presence of national officers in Denver for National Panhellenic, the three chapters of the State — Beta Gamma, Beta Iota, and Denver alumnae — celebrated Founders’-day, February 22, with a banquet where Mrs Moore, Grand president, Mrs Grasett, Grand Treasurer, and Miss Green, Grand secretary, were guests of honor. With genuine courtesy, the guests of honor were not requested to make speeches, but were just introduced, after which Mary Hunter as a gracious toastmistress, introduced Philippine Anderson to speak of 1870, Barbara Hunt to toast 1930, and Mrs Kate Adams Weaver, to prophesy for 19 70. Then the Founders’-day service of the Ritual book, closed the evening, which had as a fine feature the singing by a double quartet of Thetas. How Far Can You Think? IN this year when Kappa Alpha Theta holds her first international convention, it may not be inappropriate for us all to ask ourselves this question. It is platitudinous to comment upon the necessity for college women to see beyond the campus, for college alumnae to know a little of the world’s problems. In the days of the World War a Theta representative generously did her stint in France. In days of peace what are we doing to develop an international mind; what is our share in helping in world under¬ standing? Grace H. Miller, Pittsburgh alumnce

ALUMNAE NEWS Notes Before this letter appears, most of the state chairmen will have sent out the fraternity’s annual report and their state letter. In two states these will be mailed by very new members of our alumna? board. Mrs Carol Green Wilson introduces the new California chair¬ man thus: "From the presidency of Stanford's ’500’ to a pioneer job on San Francisco’s 'Wall street’ is the record of California’s new state chairman — Eleanor Davidson, Phi ’28, at the present time person¬ nel director for the San Francisco stock exchange. 'Davy,’ as her campus friends still call her, is creating her novel stock exchange job as she tackles its many phases; and promises to fill her new Theta re¬ sponsibility with the same smiling efficiency. She claims membership in Cap and gown, Phi Sigma Alpha, political science scholarship Society, and Delta Sigma Rho, honorary debating group. Last year she was secretary to Dr Mosher, Medical advisor to women at Stanford — also a Theta, by the way — and acted as debating coach for Stanford women.” Idaho’s former state chairman, Mrs Merrill, introduces her suc¬ cessor as follows: "It is with sincere pleasure that I introduce to Thetas everywhere Idaho’s chairman, Beulah Brown Freeman. It hardly seems necessary to tell Idaho Thetas about her, since her activities while in col¬ lege, and since graduation have brought her in contact with so many Thetas. Beulah always held a responsible office while in college — she is a Beta Theta graduate — so became well informed about her fraternity. Last year when, as a bride, she went to live in Boise, she was chosen president of the Theta club, and then, when she moved to Moscow last September, she continued her Theta interests by joining its small club and becoming one of Beta Theta’s advisers. That her college interests were not confined to Theta alone is shown by her election to Phi Beta Kappa, Mortar board and other organizations. I feel Idaho is fortu¬ nate to have such a peppy, efficient person as alumna? chairman.” On new club has already organized for next year. The five Thetas in Jackson, Michigan, are now meeting regularly and were planning, when I heard from them last, to attend Eta’s March initiation in a body. They represent four chapters, two of which, Epsilon and Pi, are no longer active. Isn’t it fine that the loss of one’s college chapter affects in no way one’s Theta enthusiasm? Hope Davis Mecklin

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [393] To Lead District VII MRS ADELE JOHNSON WILPUTTE What one struggles to acquire is sure to be more closely cherished than the silver platter gift. Perhaps that is why charter mem¬ bers often have a deeper and more abiding love for the fraternity than those who are invited to come in after the difficult trail has been blazed, and why Adele Johnson Wilputte, after having helped to establish Alpha Theta chapter at the University of Texas, can point to twenty consecutive years of active work with the New York alumnae of Kappa Alpha Theta. Refinement, good taste, sympathy, humor, and judgment are a few of the characteristics that come to mind when one thinks of Adele Wilputte. On meeting her socially and enjoying her rare wit and hu¬ morous point of view one might not be prepared for the balanced judgments and steady common sense decisions which she invariably gives to all questions presented for her consideration. The fine achievement of Panhellenic in New York in erecting and maintaining Panhellenic House has taken much of Mrs Wilputte’s time and energy for a number of years and her work on the Board has been a valued contribution. A southerner by birth and education, the new president of District VII has the point of view of the southern chapters of her district, while her long residence in New York has broadened her sympathies to under¬ stand the problems of the northern chapters. In fact, her thinking is international, for her husband, although she met him at a Theta con¬ vention, is British by birth and Belgian by extraction, and so her fre¬ quent European sojourns have been more than the travels of a tourist. The girls of District VII are sure to give Mrs Wilputte the same whole souled devotion accorded her by the New York Thetas, and we only wish they all might foregather with us on June 6 at our annual meet¬ ing with her on her beautiful estate in Westchester county. Helen Waldo Another New Club! Reported to central office as this issue goes to press — Austin, Texas, has an organized club. The first club activity was a rummage sale, from proceeds of which an Alpha Theta house bond was purchased.

[394] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Three Score Years Though the first of the women’s fraternities, Kappa Alpha Theta is one of the last to print a record of its years. History, history, has been talked about, and worked over now for almost a score of years. Because the fraternity had not been history conscious before that time, the work of collecting the scattered facts, figures, and pictures was tremendous. Many Thetas contributed toward the collection of the data for a his¬ tory. Their work was organized, and much more research done, by Es¬ telle Dodge before she could begin writing the story of Kappa Alpha Theta. In the meantime came, and passed, the Golden jubilee of Kappa Alpha Theta, which had been set as the year for publishing the frater¬ nity’s history. Ten more years of activity, increased the work of recording the facts, work that never can cease so long as the fraternity is a live or¬ ganization. A year ago in February, the Grand secretary went to Menasha, Wisconsin, where in conference with the Grand vice-president and mem¬ bers of the staff of the George Banta Publishing company, the final format for the history, the selection of pictures that should be in¬ cluded, and many other technical printing matters were settled. July 1, 1929, the copy went to the printer. Since that date, in¬ numerable points of technical policy, countless verifications of seem¬ ingly conflicting statements, and patient experiment with changing ideas as to setting of heads, etc. has been the order of the day. Only the experienced publishers anticipated that the process of see¬ ing the book through the presses would be so time consuming. The final vexatious delay arose when the receipt of the final page proofs co¬ incided with the date the Grand secretary had to leave for N.P.C. so that the making of the index "had to go over” for two weeks. But there comes an end to all delays — and so, at last Kappa Alpha Theta’s history is ready for readers. The title is "Sixty years in Kappa Alpha Theta.” The book has 500 pages, and half that number of illustrations. Its price is $3.00 a copy. Central office is ready to receive and fill orders for the book. It would be good news for convention if all the first edition was sold before that event. Order your copy now, or you may be too late, as the first edition is a limited one. While the book is far from ideally complete, it is full of things you probably do not know about your fraternity, and is, we think, interest-

Page 43

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [395] ing: interesting even to those who have read it in manuscript and in proofs over and over again. It meets, we believe, Lord Macaulay’s standard for true history: "No picture, then, and no history, can present us with the whole truth: but those are the best pictures and the best histories which ex¬ hibit such parts of the truth as most nearly produce the effects of the whole. ” Extension of Women’s Fraternities Feb. 1928-Feb. 1930 (As reported to N.P.C. in February, 1930) Alpha Chi Omega (3) Michigan State, Whitman, Florida State Alpha Delta Pi (2) Toronto, Michigan Alpha Delta Theta (3) Brenau, Howard, Ohio Alpha Gamma Delta (1) Denver Alpha Omicron Pi (3) Florida State, Pennsylvania State, Cincinnati Alpha Phi (3) Idaho, Manitoba, British Columbia Alpha Xi Delta (5) Randolph-Macon, Denver, Florida State, Texas, Washington (St. Louis) Beta Phi Alpha (5) Oregon State, Howard, Newcomb, Miami, Purdue Chi Omega (3) Denison, Tulsa, Louisville Delta Delta Delta (5) South Carolina, William and Mary, North Dakota, Idaho, Deni¬ son Delta Gamma (1) British Columbia Delta Zeta (6) Rhode Island, Mississippi, Louisville, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah Gamma Phi Beta (4) British Columbia, Rollins, Wittenberg, Southern Methodist

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [397] A Plea To College Thetas I’d simply do anything — anything — to get some money so that I could come back next year. If I don’t get some I truly don’t see how I am ever going to come back.” How many times you have heard undergraduates make that desper¬ ate assertion and you have thought to yourself — "Why, oh, why wasn’t I born rich instead of beautiful so that I could help those sweet Thetas finish college and stop worrying over finances.” Well, here’s how! Every time you hear a Theta moaning about her financial straits, you step right up and say to her, "Theta, dear, there is always the scholarship fund for girls who need it and you may be assured that they will help you out at a time like this and besides, make it as easy as possible for you to repay the loan.” For a wise and understanding committee holds the purse strings of the Theta Loan and fellowship fund $md knows so well the problems of girls in colleges today, where chapter houses are expensive and campus activities take every bit of extra money that would once have practically paid the actual expenses of the college year. The Loan and fellowship fund is available to every undergraduate Theta and is intended to act as a helping hand extended from the fund to the future of Theta womanhood. It is hoped that in time undergraduate Thetas will feel toward the Loan and fellowship fund as they would toward an older sister who would happily lend them the money they need without the slightest feeling of embarrassment or dishonor. As a matter of fact all negotiations are carried on strictly between your District president, the committee and you. It need not be discussed by anyone else or with anyone else, and you are thus spared the slightest embarrassment, even if you feel the greatest timidity about financial matters. The plea of the Loan and fellowship fund committee, finally is, "Please, PLEASE, consult your District president before you give up your college course on account of low funds!” Pauline Holmes Hoover, Indianapolis alumnce, Publicity committee

SIGMA— UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO Joyful anticipation of convention, panic at the approach of final examina¬ tions, and the prospect of graduation for some ten of its members occupy Sig¬ ma’s thoughts in varying degree. Less solemn moments have not been lacking The annual Seniors’ party was a riotous affair. Skits by the alumnae, with the seniors as victims, afforded each prospective B.A. the opportunity of seeing her¬ self as the inventive and somewhat libellous actors saw her. Balm was applied to injured feelings in the form of gifts from the chapter. At the Graduation banquet for the women of University college, Adelaide Macdonald, the only woman member of the staff present, replied to the toast to the faculty. In the results of the annual elections, Theta was well represented. Mar¬ garet Conboy is president and Jean Trimble treasurer, of sophomore year.

UPSILON— UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Because of the new rule which calls for second quarter rushing, pledges have to wait only six weeks to be initiated. But Ann Mortley, alumna, and Helen Halden, pledge leaders, found that a six weeks’ pledge period means dili¬ gent training.

Beta Sigma regrets losing Etoile McFadin, Madeline Roach, Virginia Sum¬ merville, and Wilette Jarrell at midsemester. The pledges are taking an active interest in Powder and Patches, annual Panhellenic skit to raise a loan fund for independent girls. Theta stood 12th among women’s fraternities in scholarship last semester, but the whole chapter is working hard to raise the average. Pledges and initiates are turning out semi-weekly for basketball practice. Zeta Tau Alpha has won the intersorority cup the past two years. We’re out to take it away from them. 26 March 1930 Virginia Dupies BETA TAU— DENISON UNIVERSITY Social: February 14, an informal dinner at Buxton Inn, with dancing at the house afterwards. February 28, Beta Tau’s pledges entertained with a formal dinner-dance at the house. March 15, all the women’s fraternities co¬ operated in holding A world tour. Each house represented a different country, and carried out novel ideas as to decorations and refreshments representative of the particular country. The sophomores and juniors of each group acted as hostesses, while the freshmen and seniors enjoyed the tour. Theta chose to represent Colonial America. The project was under the auspices of Women’s student government association. March 21, an informal dinner party at the house before the Phi Mu and Delta Omicron opera in which Alice Smith had a principal role.

BETA UPSILON— UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Under Panhellenic rules we are allowed to have only one rushing affair each month. In February we had a roller-skating party, which, in spite of numerous skids and falls, was successful. We took the rushees to supper after¬ wards at Marjorie Kirk’s home. This month we are having a nautical bridge — dress in sailor clothes, have the tables represent different countries, and so on. Several week-end parties for summer rushing already have been arranged. We have originated on this campus the idea of exchange suppers between men’s and women’s fraternities. March 5 at Elizabeth Douglas’s home we en¬ tertained twenty Phi Gamma Deltas. After supper we played bridge and sang songs. Every one had a good time, and seemed quite anxious to continue such affairs in the fall. Our Spring formal was March 10, at the Royal Vancouver yacht club. Our guests assured us it was the best formal of the year. Two of our girls are assisting with the Players club annual production, Friend Hannah : Dorothy Barrow in charge of costumes and Katharine Lee, advertising manager. Our alumnae have generously presented us with a scholarship ring to be worn each term by the girl who made the highest average in the last examina¬ tions. After March 15 there will be no more social events on campus, as final examinations begin April 10. Eight Thetas will graduate: Barbara Ashby, Ena Henderson, Marjorie Kirk, Olwen Thomas, May McMorris, Alice Mathers, Rena Fleming. 28 March 1930 Alice M. Smith MYSELF I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know; Always to look myself straight in the eye. I don't want to stand, with the setting sun And hate myself for the things I've done.

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [437] Campus Rushing By Beatrice Herron Brown, Alpha Chi Omega Chairman College Panhellenic Committee , N.P.C. IT is interesting, as we look back over the years, to note that the first inter¬ sorority conference was called to talk over the question of rushing and pledging. Although much has been accomplished since then by the abolish¬ ment of pre-matriculation pledging, by the establishment of a definite pledge day, and by the steady growth of the short, open rushing plan, we still find some uncertainty on the part of the college girls, a persistent desire now and then to experiment, and a certain amount of misinterpretation and misunderstanding. Early in the twentieth century the conference of fraternity women favored a late pledge day and even urged the adoption of deferred rushing. Within a few years this plan seemed so doubtful in its values that a thorough investiga¬ tion and study of the system was authorized. The outcome of that study was so definite that the National Panhellenic congress officially went on record as favoring "the short open rushing season and an early pledge day," the policy which has since been reaffirmed by successive congresses. This system when properly carried out promotes simplicity of rules and tends to eliminate petty, binding regulations which cause confusion, dishonesty, annoyance, and loss of respect for local and national Panhellenic. Along with this plan the greatest need is for stability — for a stability that will build tradition and public sentiment to checkmate the so-called "rushing evil." One of the requisites of fair rushing is a complete understanding of the eight short regulations of the Interfraternity compact. College members and alumnae members need to review these and to clarify their understanding of some clauses. What is the interpretation of the "expired" pledge, the "broken" pledge, and the "transferring" pledge? If our vocabulary is purely used and if our mathematics is accurate, we shall have no difficulty. As an example let us take a girl who was pledged on September 15, 1929. She is a pledge to the fraternity of her choice until September 15, 1930, in the eyes of the Panhellenic world. If she fails to qualify for initiation within that time, her pledge normally expires on September 15, 1930, and she again becomes eligible to pledge any fraternity. However, if for any reason either she herself or the fraternity of her choice severs the pledgeship, it becomes a "broken" pledge; the girl then does not become eligible for pledging again until one calendar year from the date on which her pledge was broken. The same interpretation of pledgeship is placed on the girl who may choose a different campus at the end of a semester. Her pledge holds good for one calendar year no matter on what campus she may be (unless, of course, it was "broken") whether or not there is a chapter of that fraternity on the second campus and whether or not she affiliates herself with it. The responsibility is dual: it is the fraternity’s duty to know whether a girl is eligible and it is the girl’s duty to be honorable in her binding obligation. Let us seek in our methods and in our interpretations to conform to the letter and to the spirit of the relationships into which each one of our fraterni¬ ties has entered. May the word "Panhellenic" come to be synonymous with integrity, honor, and harmony! NATIONAL PANHELLENIC PAGE

psal ALUMNAE CHAPTER NEWS Because of convention pictorial, and other convention copy demands for space, it was impossible to find pages on which to publish the excellent letters, reviewing the year’s work in alumnae chapters. But, all that news could not go over until next November, so with apologies to the editors that prepared the letters, the office has made a summary of the unique features, for publication now. It is with regret that this plan has been adopted to meet the space emer¬ gency and with the expectation that such work and condensation won’t be neces¬ sary another year — at least that is the editorial hope. APPLETON Appleton alumnae has continued monthly supper meetings at the homes of Appleton, Neenah, and Menasha Thetas. The alumnae chapter is allied closely with Alpha Psi, two or three girls from the college chapter being invited to each alumnae chapter meeting. Dur¬ ing rushing the alumnae chapter assumed responsibility for the first tea and for the formal dinner. Adding to the furniture given last year for the Alpha Psi rooms, alumnae supplied new drapes this year. In December the annual Christmas party was given for Alpha Psi, with white elephant gifts and entertainment by the college girls, members and pledges. Marion Worthing BOSTON Boston alumnae has, necessarily, a shifting membership; but there is a con¬ stant group of loyal Thetas who give it stability. Twenty-seven active mem¬ bers, an average attendance of fifteen at each meeting, is the year’s record. Al¬ ternate afternoon and evening meetings, usually in private homes, is the plan. In order to accommodate Christmas shoppers and Thetas working down town, the December meeting was at the new Y.W.C.A. in Boston, with a satisfactory luncheon and an opportunity, for those who desired, to swim. A successful Founders’ -day program at the University club, was enjoyed by twenty members. We are proud that Mrs Maude Bell Plowman has twenty flower paintings on exhibition in the Jordan Marsh art department. Evelyn M. Watkins CLEVELAND The large group of Beta Tau alumnae, in Cleveland, having for years main¬ tained their own organization, entered at once into the alumnae chapter, giving it new life and enthusiasm. The first meeting, a beach party, to which hus¬ bands also were asked, was in their honor.

Page 87

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [439] During the fall there were monthly supper meetings, with speakers: an address on post war Hungary, a review of fall books, the story of one Theta’s work at the Cleveland museum of art. In January there was the Founders’ - day dinner; in February a luncheon after which Marcia Kenyon Bissell (Mrs Howard) Alpha Chi, entertained with groups of folk-songs. In April, a des¬ sert bridge. In May there will be a mock convention. In the fall Theta entertained Cleveland city Panhellenic at a tea. Theta, represented by Mary Paxton Swiler (Mrs Russell) Alpha Upsilon, holds the presidency of Panhellenic this year. For several years members have been divided into districts, with a chairman in charge of each. A district group frequently comes together for informal evenings of bridge. As has become the custom, money for the Loan and fellowship fund was raised by sale of Christmas cards and magazine subscriptions, with, for the first time an agency for Royce’s extracts and toilet preparations. The chapter contri¬ butes also to the scholarship fund Cleveland Panhellenic maintains at Cleveland college (Cleveland’s experiment in adult education). DALLAS Last fall alumnae had to forget their home duties for the time being and rush, but were well repaid by the sixteen pledges they helped to get. Meetings are the first Tuesday afternoon each month, at the homes of members. After business is finished, Beta Sigma members and pledges join us for a social hour and light refreshments. In March we had a tea for the Mothers of college and alumnae Thetas, hoping to form a Mothers’ club some day. Founders’-day banquet was February 6, with fifty present to enjoy the clever pantomime put on by the Social committee. The alumnae chapter provided three rush parties for Beta Sigma: an outdoor tea in the Spring, a Carnival, and a home picture show in the fall. Helen S. Fernald DAYTON March 7, twenty-five Thetas of Dayton and vicinity met at the home of Mrs Paul North Rice for the installation of the alumnae chapter. Preceding installation, dinner was served by a competent committee. On each table silver candlesticks held tall, gold candles tied with black tulle. Each Theta found at her place a clever kite shaped place-card. Mrs Robert Ingram, president of Cincinnati alumnae and deputy to Mrs Eugene Nickerson, president of District III, had charge of installation. She was assisted by Mrs N. C. Lucas and Miss Henrietta Brady of Cincinnati alumnae. The meeting closed with the singing of Theta songs and a hope that Dayton chapter will be one that every Theta may point to with pride. Velma W. Sagebiel DENVER Monthly supper meetings at houses of members have continued to be a great success, with a large proportion of the membership present. Founders’-day was celebrated on February 22 with a banquet at the Brown Palace, with Mrs

Page 88

[440] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Moore, Mrs Grasett, and Miss Green as honored guests. The following day a number of the alumnae motored to Boulder with the Grand officers, who were here for N.P.C., where Beta Iota and Denver alumnae gave a lovely tea in their honor. A special feature, was made of our Christmas meeting at the home of Martha Frye, president. All business was dispensed with, and after a delicious supper and our annual Christmas bazaar, a progressive bridge game was in¬ dulged in, white elephants exchanged, and good fellowship enjoyed. In March, we varied our usual program by having a luncheon meeting at the University club with bridge afterwards in honor of Juliet Norgren who leaves us this spring to make her home in Los Angeles. An enjoyable bridge benefit was given in February at the home of Alice Steele, with husbands as special guests. DES MOINES Monthly suppers, the first Monday of every month, at homes of members, continue. Each month four alumnae act as hostesses; average attendance is twenty-five; meetings are purely social. The chapters major interest is Beta Kappa, trying to work for and with the girls. A new committee, an alumnae rush committee, will henceforth work in cooperation with the college chapter’s rush committee. Lois Brown Harris was the able chairman for the Panhellenic banquet in December, where Theta had the largest representation, thirty. Happily Mrs Zeitlin, District president arrived in time to be introduced at the banquet. The next day, Des Moines alumnae gave a tea for Mrs Zeitlin, entertaining also the college and pledge members of Beta Kappa. For Founders -day dinner, Marcella Knudson planned a pleasant evening of Theta songs and informal speeches. Mary Hutchins Sears HOUSTON Houston alumnae began this year with a luncheon at the University club, October 5. The business necessary to the opening of the club year was com¬ pleted while we enjoyed our first reunion after vacation. In order to secure finances the chapter was divided into groups, each group pledged to raise fifty dollars. The means of raising this money was left to the discretion of the individual group. The fund was used for gifts to Alpha Theta at Austin and to Beta Sigma at Dallas, for our welfare work, and for the Loan and fellowship fund. December 27 the chapter entertained at a breakfast at the River Oaks country club, guests including Houston rushees who were attending the Uni¬ versity of Texas, Southern Methodist university, and Newcomb college. Found¬ ers -day luncheon was January 25 at the Lamar hotel. Afterward we went to Mrs Woodruff’s home for the ritual service. Recently a Panhellenic council was organized in Houston. Mrs Van de Mark is Theta representative, and Mrs Woodruff on the cabinet. There has been a decided need for a Panhellenic group in Houston and we are enthusiastic over the possibilities for the organization. Dorothy Whitehurst

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [441] INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis alumnae, with one hundred thirty resident members has many and diverse interests. The younger Thetas have been largely responsible for carrying on these activities. The Coleman hospital unit has sewed and supplied Christmas and Valentine gifts for the crippled children of Riley hospital. Supper meetings have been a feature of our program, and always draw big crowds. The year started with a supper at Gamma’s chapter house. The March meeting was a dinner-bridge at the home of Elizabeth Berterman. The card party and style show in L. S. Ayres’ tea room was a successful innovation both socially and financially. One of our number, Mrs J. Don Miller (Maud Cromer) was elected to the Indianapolis school board at Fall elections with an overwhelming majority of votes. Mary O’Hair Hitz KANSAS CITY Kansas City alumnae has completed a most active and interesting year, in¬ cluding social and intellectual programs of wide variety. There was a fascinat¬ ing and enlightening talk on Interior decorating by Russell Wise ; a splendid lec¬ ture on Oriental rugs by Clarence Shephard: a delightful discourse on We moderns , given by a talented Theta, Ernestine Parks, who traced the develop¬ ment of styles from an early period to the present time. Margaret Davis gave us a treat by showing movies taken on a recent trip. A Panhellenic tea at the home of Mrs Louis Nelson was our first social event of the year. Founders’ -day banquet proved to be a memorable event, though we felt keenly the absence of our beloved Jessie Lebrecht, whose spirit has enriched so many Founders’-day banquets. Mrs Lebrecht, enjoying a Medi¬ terranean cruise with her family, remembered us with a message, read during the evening. Fifteen chapters were represented. A Panhellenic dinner-dance wound up the social events. Money was raised this year by the sale of miniature coupons, offered by Bachrach studios of Boston, represented by Katherine Gupton. The chapter’s contribution to Christmas charity was the purchase of shoes and rubbers for a needy family. Charlotte S. Woodruff LAFAYETTE Lafayette alumnae began a busy year by offering most welcome aid to Alpha Chi during rush week in September. As the remodeled chapter house was not yet ready for entertaining, alumnae homes made a charming background for parties, and alumnae served as hostesses, waitresses, and even as financiers, under the capable direction of Mrs Juliet Matthews Snyder, alumnae rush chair¬ man. Early in October our career as an alumnae chapter started with the installa¬ tion of Lafayette alumnae by Mary Rieman, with a charter membership of 28. Most of us are from Alpha Chi, but our president is Mrs Lottie Coumbe Robert¬ son, Alpha Psi and Psi, and we have representatives from Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Beta Zeta.

Page 90

[442] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] The chief enterprise of the fall was the annual fruit-cake project, which netted $225.00. Added to our calendar was a small informal tea at the home of Mrs Bird Goslee Crockett in honor of Mrs Hudson Jones, Alpha Chi’s new house mother (also the mother of Jane). As an incentive for better scholarship and greater participation in activities, Lafayette alumnae offered a suitable award to the best all-round freshman of Alpha Chi, to be presented at initiation banquet. Our latest undertaking is to plan, put on, and finance a reception for Alpha Chi in the remodeled and redecorated house, sometime in May. We hold a business session the first Thursday evening each month, with a buffet supper preceding every other one. Mary Elizabeth Skinner LANSING During the summer months, Lansing alumnae favored luncheon meetings, but with the return of Fall again took up the old way of having supper meet¬ ings the second Wednesday of each month. This plan permits of a larger regular attendance. September, October, and November meetings were held at the Y.W.C.A. Since then we have met at home of members, where we have had right royal times, and enjoyed every minute. Plans for the remaining months include an April meeting at Beta Pi’s chapter house, and a May breakfast for the pleasure of Beta Pi juniors and seniors, June plans not as yet announced. As a newly chartered alumnae chapter trying to aid and abet a not-very-old college chapter, we felt the need of some study, so under the chairmanship of Mrs Andrew VanHalteren short educational programs have been carried out at several meetings. Exchange of ideas among those girls who have come to Lansing from other chapters has been a most interesting and helpful source of information. Our rummage sale, Christmas card project, and Theta coin boxes for the saving of odd dimes and nickels, have been our main sources of extra funds. A new scheme just beginning to grow is the small bridge party, meeting after¬ noons or evenings whenever convenient, and including both Thetas and non- Thetas. Margaret A. Shadduck NEW YORK New York alumnae has enjoyed the past winter in a thoroughly social manner. Since New York offers such an abundance of educational and cultural opportunities, we felt the need of taking one Saturday afternoon each month to participate in getting acquainted with Theta friends. Throughout the winter monthly meetings were held at the homes of mem¬ bers. It is our privilege in the early fall and spring to be the guests of Thetas who reside outside of the city. In this way we manage to include in our meet¬ ings the entire metropolitan area. November 15 Kappa Alpha Theta participated in the Panhellenic Benefit bridge at the Panhellenic house. February 15, the chapter itself held a benefit bridge at the Panhellenic house.

Page 91

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [443] New York alumnae was hostess at a Sunday Tea at Panhellenic House March 2. At this time there was an unusual display of Tibetan tapestries which had never been displayed before and were of much interest. The annual Panhellenic ball was at the Hotel Plaza, March 7. The ball is considered one of the outstanding social events of the season and Kappa Alpha Theta contributed greatly to its success. New York alumnae announces the publication of a new directory which has already proved popular. Copies may be obtained by sending thirty cents in postage to the secretary. Members of Kappa Alpha Theta living in New York City who have not affiliated with the chapter are invited to do so. Luncheons are held every Wed¬ nesday at 12:30 o’clock at the Panhellenic house. Members of the New York alumnae enthusiastically plan to fly their kites at Toronto in July. OKLAHOMA CITY Going abroad a la moving pictures, Oklahoma City alumnae had a brief so¬ journ in the Swiss Alps at the March meeting. The occasion was a chapter entertainment at the home of Mrs Frank Buttram (Merle Newby) . Mrs Butt- ram, with her husband and children, took the pictures while on a tour of Europe in 1928. The showing climaxed one of the best meetings of the year at which new officers were elected. Activities of the chapter have followed the lines of past years. In the fall, alumnae of Beta Zeta and Alpha Omicron assisted their respective chapters with rush. Following was a benefit bridge in November. The chapter entertained with about seventy-five tables. During the same month the annual rummage sale was held, with proceeds totaling seventy-five dollars. Funds were devoted to the scholarship fund, charity and, gifts to the college chapters. At Christmas time we gave gifts to the girls in the crippled childrens’ ward of the University hos¬ pital, through Helen Carr, who is with the social service department of the hospital. Plans are being made to entertain our husbands and friends at a bridge party April 4 with Frances Wetzel heading the committee in charge. Our April meeting will be with Minnie Lee Burrus Armstrong (Mrs William J.). In June we plan a picnic to which our husbands will be invited. Marion Hurst OMAHA Omaha alumnae has met monthly at the homes of members. Since some are unable to attend afternoon meetings, while others cannot come at night, evening and afternoon meetings alternate. Afternoon meetings are Saturday one o’clock luncheons followed by business, while seven o’clock suppers feature evening meetings. A special feature, at many of the meetings has been an informal talk by some person of authority. Talks have been given on the work of the Com¬ munity playhouse, the art institute, an alumna’s trip to London, and a study of china ware. A budget has done away with the necessity for constant collection of money, and the raising of money by rummage sales, benefit bridges, and so forth. Each member’s assessment covers her share of the Loan and fellowship fund gift; the prize given Rho chapter as a scholarship reward; incidentals; the cost of the

Page 92

[444] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] alumnae directories ; funds for rushing ; and for a Christmas present to Rho. The Friendship fund was augmented on Founders’-day by the "birthday penny" custom. Beatrix Manley PASADENA Pasadena Alumnae has been concentrating on helping Omicron and Beta Xi. During rushing the chapter was interested and active in helping all four California college chapters as much as possible, by recommendations of local girls. November 19 we gave a benefit bridge tea at the home of Mrs Alan Sharpe which was both financially and socially a great success. Of the money raised at this party, $25.00 was given to the Loan and fellowship fund, and $200.00 to Beta Xi for its house fund, to whom was also donated a fitted case for its benefit party at which it raised $106.00. Founders’-day banquet at the Hotel Huntington found Pasadena strongly represented with 35 present. It is our plan to meet once a year with each local college chapter. We met with Beta Xi in the fall and our next meeting will be with Omicron. Alice Kurtz PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia alumnae meets once a month — the third Wednesday, usually at the College club in Philadelphia. Two meetings a year are held at the houses of the college chapters, Alpha Beta — Swarthmore, and Beta Eta — University of Pennsylvania. This gives alumnae an opportunity of personal contact with the younger members of Kappa Alpha Theta. Each meeting begins at 4:30 ; business preceding the stated program. Thus business and teaching members have an opportunity of hearing the music, readings, lectures, or plays that may con¬ stitute the day’s entertainment. After the program is concluded we have supper at the meeting place; and at that time endeavor to mingle with members other than our own particular friends. The meetings adjourn in time for wives to join husbands on the homeward commute to the suburbs, or the monthly visit to the theater. These Wednesday afternoon meetings are so convenient that out- of-town Thetas — young mothers, too — have adopted the idea of shopping, visiting the dentist, oculist, or doctor on that day; then they relax for a quiet visit and interesting program at the Theta alumnae meeting. This year’s programs have been exceptionally diverse and interesting. The first meeting was unique, for as many of the past presidents of the chapter as possible were present, and gave a sketch of the highlights of their own regime. Other programs: interesting talk The lure of diamonds, by a Philadelphia jeweler; music; Candy, by a member of the Consumers’ league; and Peace and war by a member of the Women’s International league for peace and freedom. Miriam Jenkins Elsbree PITTSBURGH Alumnae from the twenty-one college chapters represented in the group have, separately, or in groups of three or four, served as hostesses at the monthly meetings.

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [445] In November for three days a rummage sale was conducted near one of the busiest corners of an East End business section. Everything, from radios to shoes, were sold. The $200 earned went to Alpha Omega’s house-building fund. The same week the alumnae chapter and Alpha Omega welcomed Mrs Moore, Grand president, who almost uncannily put her finger on the weak points in the two chapters and graciously encouraged our virtues. Scarcely had the Grand president disappeared when Mrs Nickerson’s shadow crossed our sill. Unfortunately for us and for her, a threatening cold cut our District president’s visit short. Better fortune again! To cap the busy week, a scholarship fund bridge brought in about $60. The Christmas party at the home of the president, Dorothy Sattley, was attended by fifty. Mrs Campbell and Mrs Estep generously furnished Christ¬ mas music, and Louise Borland illustrated Dicken’s Christmas carol with slides of quaint old illustrations taken from a first edition. Founders’-day dinner was an unusually interesting event in spite of the non- appearance of Mrs Mecklin. One hundred Thetas represented twenty college chapters. March 1 another bridge, hastily planned and successfully executed, added $118 to the house-building fund. A little flurry of excitement over the pos¬ sibility of purchasing a house for Alpha Omega died down, and the lease on the present chapter house was signed for two years. Both college and alumnae groups are measuring the distance from Pitts¬ burgh to Toronto in terms of gas or railway fare. Grace H. Miller PORTLAND Portland alumnae, feeling that a two year term tends toward greater ef¬ ficiency, has reelected her officers for another year. The president, having a term of experience before convention, has a foundation for her work there and a greater knowledge of her chapter’s problems. The other officers feel that they have a keener understanding of their duties in holding office another term. A busy and truly successful year, both financially and socially, is just ended. The pledge which the chapter has been carrying for the past six years, of $200 a year to each of the two Oregon college chapters, Alpha Xi and Beta Epsilon, has been finished. We have had the usual bridge parties, rummage sales, and theater benefits. Through the courtesy of one of the leading women’s apparel shops of Portland, a fashion show that was sponsored by Kappa Alpha Theta and two other women’s fraternities was quite a novel way of increasing bank accounts. We are about to launch a project new to us, taking orders for station¬ ery from a well known firm. A twenty per cent profit is made on each box. At a meeting last fall we all brought our own "white elephants,” sold them to each other and added $14.10 to our treasury. One of the happiest times was the evening spent last fall with our Grand president, Mrs Moore. Twenty-five of us gathered at the University club for dinner, and afterwards sat around a cozy fire place and had a most informal visit.

Page 94

[446] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] Almost a hundred celebrated Founders’ -day at the University club. At the end of the ritual service, tiny candles were lighted at each place. A letter to Henryetta Lawrence from Bettie Locke Hamilton, whom she met at the West Baden convention, was read. Ella Dobie Hathaway (Mrs D. A.) and her daughter, Ann, both of Alpha Xi, left in February to make their home in Santiago, Chile for three years. Mr Hathaway is interested in an engineering project there. For ten years Mrs Hathaway has been state alumnae chairman. We will miss her. Sophia M. Shelk ST. LOUIS St. Louis alumnae has been fortunate in being able to keep its standard of attendance at meetings: sixty to seventy members present each month. Perhaps the meetings themselves have been responsible for this record, as at each one, with the exception of the first, there has been in addition to the regular business meeting and supper, a program of unusual interest. Our first meeting was an occasion for reunion, when everyone preferred chatting of summer events to listening to a program. At the October meeting in the Women’s building of Washington university, we felt as though we were continuing the rushing season for the benefit of Alpha Iota pledges who were our guests. After the November meeting supper to which Alpha Iota sopho¬ mores were invited Mr Harlan Read reviewed his successful book, Thurman Lucas. To the December meeting each Theta came bearing a ten cent toy and canned goods. The toys were placed around the Christmas tree, and at the end of the meeting were presented with a little humorous verse to members. After¬ ward, these toys were collected and given to the Board of Religious organiza¬ tions to be distributed to poor children at Christmas time. The canned goods were taken to Boyle Memorial center also to be given to the needy. Theta artists entertained at our January meeting: Ruth Harris played a piano solo; Katherine Hafner Westlake sang accompanied by Isabel Lowe Goer- ner; Frances Hayes also sang accompanied by Lucille Pearson; Mary Jane Roach read some poems. In March, Alpha Iota juniors were our guests. After supper a song fest was made especially enjoyable by several solos by Elma Nipher Dawson. In April officers will be elected, following a luncheon bridge. In June, at a picnic supper, Alpha Iota seniors will be guests and invited to join the alumnae chapter. St. Louis alumnae has contributed its bit toward charity and devoted time and energy to business schemes. For charity, we have again undertaken the making of children’s nightgowns for the Children’s Aid and Visiting nurses. For business, we have two new plans, as well as the old one of selling Christmas cards. We have cooperated with the League of women’s voters in the selling of old clothes at its economy shop: and we are selling stationery for Mrs Gut- gasell. The Christmas card sale was unusually successful this year as it netted $500. Money derived from these enterprises is donated to the Loan and fellow¬ ship fund, to other worthy causes, and to a share of the expenses of our budget. Jane McCoy Barnard

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [447] SAN DIEGO San Diego aumnae has endeavored to profit by the experiences of sister chapters, incorporating in its workings and activities their helpful and success¬ ful ideas. We adopted the Boston alumnae plan of alternating afternoon and evening meetings. The evening suppers in the girls’ homes have been particu¬ larly well attended. Our first meeting, October 28, at Mrs Paul Edwards’s was a delightful buffet supper. Mrs Rachael Hotchkiss White’s (chapter president) plan to conduct chap¬ ter business with the advice of a board composed of the executive officers, the past president and Panhellenic delegate has proved most desirable, as it has brought officers to full realization of chapter duties. The November meeting was a supper at Helen May Marcy Johnson’s home; entertainment, a most enjoyable account of Jennie Belle Willmott’s trip abroad last summer. December meeting, a luncheon at a down town hotel, showed a decided decrease in attendance from that at supper meetings. The Panhellenic dinner dance at the Athletic club that month was well attended by Thetas. January was a month of many meeting, for committees met frequently and worked diligently to prepare for our elaborate Founders’ banquet, a birthday celebration in more than one sense to San Diego Thetas, as it was on this day one year ago that we became a national chapter. Our February meeting was a delightful luncheon at Dorothy Jones’s home. The March and April meetings will be busy affairs completing arrangements for the benefit bridge, a garden party in April, the proceeds of which will go to the Loan and fellowship fund. LaRue Gillern Yale SEATTLE Seattle alumnae has continued the plan of alternating afternoon and evening meetings. The first evening or supper meeting was at the home of Mrs John Burkheimer with seventy-five attending. Alpha Lambda’s new pledges came in during the evening, so we had the opportunity of meeting them early in the year. Our afternoon meetings with luncheon at one o’clock, followed by busi¬ ness and bridge, have been most enjoyable. Our annual tea for new members and Theta mothers was given at Alpha Lambda’s chapter house in November. We have been unusually fortunate in having Mrs Moore, Grand president, with us twice during the year. On her first visit we entertained with a luncheon in her honor, inviting Tacoma alumnae to join with us. Returning from the installation of Beta Upsilon, Mrs Moore, Mrs Walker, president of District IX, and Mrs Bemis, past Grand vice-president, were honor guests at a supper meet¬ ing attended by eighty-four alumnae. A large number of Thetas attended the Panhellenic bridge luncheon in January, of which our own Mrs Evans was a most successful chairman. Our dinner dance and bridge party at Alpha Lambda’s house during Easter vacation and the picnic bridge luncheon, honoring Tacoma alumnae in May, are being looked forward to with much pleasure. To raise money for the Loan and fellowship fund and for Alpha Lambda chapter house, we gave a most successful bazaar and bridge luncheon just before Christmas, netting $325.00. In April we plan the annual rummage sale which always adds a substantial amount to our treasury. Grace C. Scott (Mrs. J. C.)

[448] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] SPOKANE This year Spokane alumnae has been holding monthly meetings at the homes of members, — the girls in groups of four preparing and serving plate dinners. Last year we alternated noon luncheons at a downtown lunch room with evening meetings in the homes with the food prepared by a cateress. Dur¬ ing the years preceding last year we met at noon luncheons only. We are much pleased with this years plan. It has cut hostess fees from $4.00 per person to $2.75. We have a much better opportunity to get acquainted, especially with the business girls, who usually had to leave the luncheon meet¬ ings before we even transacted business. The four or five who assume the responsibility of the meeting enjoy their hard work and certainly get to know each other. After business is finished we usually have informal entertainment by mem¬ bers. At one meeting Phyllis Benefiel, one of our professional musicians, en¬ tertained with piano music. Another time Mrs Cogswell, who is secretary of the Shriners’ hospital for crippled children, brought pictures and told us of the work accomplished at the hospital. Early in the fall we held our annual rummage sale from which we realized a sizable sum, — $100.00 of which goes to the Loan and fellowship fund. In November we were honored by a visit from Mrs Moore, Grand presi¬ dent: at a dinner in a private banquet room at the Davenport hotel 25 Thetas had the pleasure of meeting Mrs Moore. After dinner we gathered around the fireplace in friendly fashion and enjoyed a delightfully informal half hour. During the Christmas Holidays, Spokane alumnae spent a jolly, happy even¬ ing at the home of Mrs J. H. Thomson, honoring the college girls who were home for vacation. Each girl varied her costume by the use of unmatched shoes or stockings, — funny old hats, boys’ togs, paper dresses or masks, — such a con¬ glomeration was probably never before assembled under one roof. We played children’s games, ping-pong, pit, pig, parchesi and inevitably some bridge. Music and a dainty luncheon added to our pleasure, we certainly had a wild and happy time, all voting it much more fun than the formal teas of years past, for we really got acquainted with the younger girls at this party. Our last meeting of the year is always a picnic in May. Last year we took our husbands and children, friends and food, and went to Christine Fancher’s summer home at Liberty Lake. Every one had the best kind of a time. Mrs W. H. Talley TOPEKA Topeka alumnae has been enjoying enthusiastic meetings at homes the second Saturday of each month. Approximately forty attend each meeting. At the beginning of each year the total membership is divided into nine com¬ mittees, each committee having charge of one luncheon. This year we have been fortunate to have as guest at each meeting, a college member of Alpha Upsilon, who after the luncheon, gave college chapter news of interest to alumnae. This plan has brought us into closer contact with the college girls. We have added to our treasury $163.14. Twenty-seven dollars of this amount was as donations, and the remainder, $136, was made by a dance at the Egyption ball room. One dollar admission was charged for each couple, and each alumnae was asked to sell four tickers. This is the second subscription dance we have undertaken, both have been so successful that we hope to make these Theta alumnae dances annaual affairs. Louise Smith Casey

[KAPPA ALPHA THETA] [449] WASHINGTON Washington alumnae has spent an enjoyable year under the leadership of our gracious president, Mrs. H. A. Finch. A chapter situated in the nation’s capital city has many advantages and some disadvantages. We are fortunate in being able to meet so many Thetas from every section of this country, and able to realize more keenly than most groups the national character of Theta’s bond of sisterhood. Due to the transient character of much of Washington’s population, however, our membership is continually fluctuating. One is apt to find an entirely different group of alumnae attending the March meeting from those we saw in February or will meet in April. As many of our members are employed in government offices, we alter¬ nate our meetings between afternoon and evening, with the consequent result that some of those who can come only at night do not even know those who come only in the afternoon ! This gives a sense of impermanence which is not found in most alumnae groups. We have on our mailing list this year one hundred and nine Thetas, repre¬ senting thirty-four college chapters, with four or five Thetas whose college chapter is unknown. Doubtless there are others, here for a brief stay, who have not been reported. On our list we find four from Alpha; five from Beta; four from Gamma; six from Iota; three from Delta; four from Mu; two from Epsi¬ lon ; eight from Lambda; six from Psi ; four from Tau ; three from Chi ; three from Eta; one from Kappa; two from Alpha Epsilon; one from Alpha Omega; three from Alpha Gamma; four from Alpha Delta; two from Alpha Kappa; one from Alpha Zeta; two from Alpha Omicron; two from Alpha Nu; three from Alpha Pi; five from Alpha Beta; three from Alpha Lambda; two from Omega; three from Alpha Eta; one from Alpha Tau; two from Alpha Theta; two from Beta Beta; four from Beta Delta; two from Beta Kappa; two from Beta Lambda. That is certainly a representative list, is it not ? Some of these alumnae unfortu¬ nately never attend any meetings, although cards go to them regularly each month. Thirty-five of them pay dues and are more or less regular in attendance. Others come to an occasional meeting without assuming any financial responsibility. We have had a varied program this year. At the opening meeting in September at the home of Mrs Ovid Butler (Adele McMaster, Gamma), we heard an interesting talk on Soviet Russia by Jessica Granville Smith, Alpha Beta, who spent several years in Russia. The October meeting was at the home of Mrs Louis Austin (Laura Osborne, Psi), in Cleveland Park, our president con¬ ducting a program on current Theta history. The November meeting at the home of Mrs Donald Cubbison (Lucile Abrams, Alpha Beta), was one of the most largely attended of the year. At this time we were told that the Kappa Alpha Theta fellowship had been awarded to Jean Slavens of Arizona. A committee of Washington alumnae, under the chairmanship of our vice president, Mrs H. E. Woolever, has been charged with the responsibility of awarding this fellowship, and worked on the project ever since national convention two years ago. The December meeting at the home of Mrs Thomas Taylor (Mary E. Osgood, Alpha Beta), took the form of a buffet supper served to forty-two Thetas. A short stunt program preceded the business meeting. A large collec¬ tion of canned goods, stable foods and Christmas luxuries was taken up at this meeting for the benefit of our social service work. The chapter is this year continuing the help it gave last year through the Associated charities to a family

Page 98

[450] [KAPPA ALPHA THETA] in straightened circumstances. A collection is taken up at each meeting to supply hot lunches for "George,” the invalid school boy son. Founders’-day was celebrated at the Hay Adams house with L. Pearle Green as honor guest at luncheon. Thirty-seven Thetas representing twenty-two chap¬ ters answered the chapter roll call. The chapter at its last meeting at the home of Mrs H. E. Woolever (Eloise Andrews, Chi), planned several methods of raising money for the annual con¬ tribution to the Loan and fellowship fund. We have been in the habit of sending one hundred dollars each year, raised largely through Christmas card sales. This year we did not sell cards on the same scale as in previous years and will probably be forced to reduce the size of our donation. All Thetas resident in or near Washington, or visiting there for a short period are urged to attend the meetings on the third Tuesday of each month. For the benefit of transients in the city announcement of the place of each meet- ing is given the Sunday previous in the society columns of the Washington papers. Luncheons are held the first Tuesday of each month in the Club house of the A.A.U.W. The closing meeting of the year, in June, always takes the form of a picnic in Rock Creek park with husbands and families in attendance. Margaret Connor Vosbury New York Panhellenic Scholarship Award The new york city Panhellenic Scholarship Award for 1930-31 has been granted to Helen Delano Willard, Alpha Phi, graduate of the University of Wisconsin. Miss Willard was graduated with the degree of A.B. June, 1928, her major being English Literature. Miss Willard is at present teaching English in the Waukesha, Wisconsin, high school. In New York she will work for a Master’s in English literature at Columbia university. In order to safeguard the award two alternates were chosen. First alternate — Ellen Eloise Keefer, Alpha Omicron Pi, a graduate of the University of Nebraska with A.B. degree, June, 1928; and A.M. from the same university in June, 1929. Second alternate — Edith Harriet Quamme, Kappa Delta, a graduate of the University of Minnesota, A.B. 1930.
