ED I TORIALS Lois Finger Resigns

With deepest personal regret, the Editor of the ARROW announces for Grand Council the resignation of Lois Snyder Finger, Iowa Z, Grand Secretary of Pi Beta Phi, because of the serious illness of her husband. Mrs. Finger has given efficient and ever loyal service to the Fraternity in that office since 1938, and was before that president of Beta Province. Miss Onken expressed the feeling of Grand Council and of all members of Pi Beta Phi in a letter which went to chapters and alumn~ clubs, in which she said: " Her great ability, her beautiful character, her charm of personality, ilnd her devotion to Pi Beta Phi have combined to make her one of the most out­standing and constructively contributing officers which the fraternity has been privileged to have. I am sure every Pi Beta Phi joins me in my appreciation of Lois Finger and her service to the Fraternity, shares my sense of loss, and wishes most sincerely that her deep anxiety may soon be taken away by Mr. Finger's restoration to health." (As this is written , the latest word is that Mr. Finger is improving constantly.)

"The Fraternity welcomes as its incoming Grand Secretary. Lucile Douglass Carson, who has .given SO constructively to Pi Beta Phi for many years as Beta Province President. She is counting, I am sure, upon your cooperation and help as she assumes the heavy responsibilities of her office,"

+ + + News of the ARROW Staff

Another valued officer has resigned, this time, the very fine and efficient Chapter Letter Editor of the ARROW, Candace Secor Armstrong, who has been one of the most faithful members of the staff for several years. Her successor is a Pi Phi whom Mrs. Armstrong herself recommended­Marjorie McMichael Pickard, Florida r (charter) , who lives in Orlando, Florida.

> + ,..

Deep sorrow has come to a loyal and ever.helpful member of the Contributor's Stalf, Flo leland Thompson, Pennsylvania B, in the death in battle of her son, Arthur Lee Thompson, Jr., Lieu. tenant A.U.S. From his commanding officer, Brigadier General Hugh Cort, (arne a letter to his wife, which said:

"Lieutenant Thompson was one of the ablest and most courageous younger officers in this command. He was admired and liked by the men and respected by his fellow officers. His fine technical abilJty and great courage will not soon be forgotten by his fellows in arms. On many occasions throughout this campaign the accurate artillery fire which he placed on the enemy turned the tide of battle in favor of our forces. Only two days before his death he had performed such acts of valor on the battle field that he has been recommended for a Silver Star award for heroic achievement.

"The officers and men of the 24th Division Artillery all join with me in olferin$ you our deepest sympathy in your bereavement. We pray his and your sacrifice will not be in vam but because of Lieutenant Thompson and the many others like him our country and the whole world will forever be free from hate and misery of treacherous aggressors."

So has sad word come to many other Pi Phi mothers of sons-to each of them, as well as to Flo Thompson, goes deepest sympathy from Pi Phis everywhere.

+ > ,.. Of Panhellenic

Two Significant meetings of Panhellenic bodies occurred during the Fall, meetings character. ized by courageous facing of facts and definite effort to correct conditions on campuses which may be causing much of the adverse criticism of the fraternity system as a whole which has been appearing

24~

246 THB MARCH ARROW

in press and magazines of late. The report of National Panhellenic Congress and the accompanying EdItors' Conference appear elsewhere and deserve careful reading. Keynote speech of N .P.C. was given by Mrs. Cunningham, ~ {l n, chairman, and olfered a challenge to the intelligence of all fratemity members, wben in dosing sbe said, 'The present bolds threats of complete annihilation of the fraternity system unless we to whom Ollr fraternity membership is most dear, and who believe thoroughly in fraternity, will cast aside our feelings of complacency either in the unvulner· ability of our own fraternity or of fraternities in general. It is time to express the What, Why, and How of a fraternity program which shall really be ennobling for the individual members, for the campuses on which we function, and for the communities in which we ace represented by organized groups.

"It is the wish of all of us, I know, to set to work for the task ahead of us. Let us not become so involved with words that we lose the vision. Let our round tables be void of old-fashioned

. platitudes. Let them be committee studies from which we will go into general discussion which will lead to real accomplishment. We cannot fail . The tools are in our hands."

Miss Onken was secretary of the N.P.C. this time, and the Editor of the ARROW had the honor of being chairman of the Editors' Conference.

Pi Beta Phi now succeeds to the chairmanship of N.P.C., with Miss Onken as delegate taking over that office; the Editors' chairmanship passes on to Mrs. Roy Pinkerton, r ~ B Editor.

COME TO CONVENTION

New Ocean House,

Swampscott, Massachusetts

June 23-29, 1946

+ + +

N.I.C. Meeting It was a group of fraternity leaders made

serious by the challenge brought by the some· what unexpected close of World War II that Verling C. Enteman, Delta Phi, faced when Friday afternoon at the Hotel Commodore he gave his address as chairman of the National Interfraternity Conference. He reviewed ao im· pressive record of activities carried 00 by the Executive Committee and officers of the con­ference and stressed the importance of the co· operative progr:"" ~ing devei?ped among the various aSSOClatJons mterested tn college youth.

Chairman Enteman reported that in an amazingly luge number of educational institu· tions throughout the country hazing is a thing

of the past as the result of a resolution passed last year requesting all educational institutions to ban officially and absolutely all forms of hazing involving mental or physical tortuce.

He concluded his address as follows: 'The world has had a great object lesson in

the truth that men who are all mind and no heart can be mortally dangerous to society. It is the ideal of the fraternity that gives moral direction to inteUectuai discipline, tempers .ts cnldness with the warmth of humanity and ennobles it with those two fundamental co~cepts to which we all subscribe, the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man."

CALL TO CONVENTION IN THE SIX YEARS since the last Pi Beta Phi convention, even the

most constant "convention go-er" has forgotten something of the

thrill and inspiration which come with the privilege of seeing the

Fraternity in action. Every Pi Beta Phi knows her Fraternity in

part, through her own chapter, alumnre club, and dearest Pi Phi

friends, but only at a convention Can she get a complete picture

of Pi Beta Phi, a true realization of its greatness, and an under­

standing of the reasons for that outstanding place in the fraternity

world. So, it is a thing of special gratification again to be able

to call Pi Beta Phis everywhere to Convention-to the Convention

which will be held at The New Ocean House, Swampscott, Massa­

chusetts, June 23-29, 1946.

COME TO CoNVENTION for that increased understanding of your

Fraternity, for the joy of the fellowship which you will lind there,

and for the deepened love for Pi Beta Phi and appreciation for

your privilege of being a fraternity woman which will follow a

working-together to "discover how to square your institution with

ideals" and to follow this with a "resulting new burst of self­

confidence" which will "release new energies" and will insure

for Pi Beta Phi a Future worthy of its glorious Past and Present.

Come to Convention!

We Meet at Swampscott W E MEET at Swampscott almost next

door to Boston, on the exclusive North Shore which is frequently referred to as the "Eden of ew England."

Swampscott, which in the language of the: Natick tribe of Indians means "at the Red Rock, " is one of the most beautiful towns on the North Shore, and attractive estates, splendid boulevards and picturesque scenery add to the charm of this fa\'orite resort. "White Court," the summer home of the late President Coolidge, as well as the old Humphrey House, said to be the oldest house in New England, built in 1637, are located in Swampscott. Historic localities such as lexington, Concord, Marblehead, Salem, Gloucester, Plymouth, and Cambridge are all easily accessible from the New Ocean House.

The hotel is itself situated right at the water's edge on Puritan Road, known as the " Path of

Peace," the oldest and most famous Indian Trail along the North Shore; and the COast line broken by many massive rock formations and jutting points of land furnish some of nature's most glorious scenery. From the broad sandy beach in front of the hotel or from the spacious flagstone promenade along the sea·walJ many points of interest can be secn. Looking toward the right, four miles distant, ahant, a rolling green peninsula, reaches out into the ocean. It was the spot that the poet Longfellow and the hIstorians Motely and Prescott chose for their summer homes. To the left of ahant two mi les off shore Egg Rock rises from the sea to a heIght of eIghty-SIx feet. Gulls lay theor eggs there in abundance whence the rock derived its name. Egg Rock was ceded to the United States in 1856 and a lighthouse was erected im· mediately thereon. The light was shown for

the first time on the night of September 15, 1857 but is now out of use. However, from the veranda of the hotel may be seen Boston Light, and Nahant Pulpit Rock, all Bashing their beacons of warning through the darkness to the ships at sea. In the distance across the bay may be seen the South Shore of Massachusetts ex­tending from Quincy to Plymouth, and beyond Nahant, looking toward the right, may be seen the city of Boston, the Custom House Tower, Bunker Hill Monument, and standing out above all else, the State House.

Whatever you do at least during your stay here on the stern and rockbound coast of Mas­sachusetts get up before dawn (or if you've visited until the wee small hours of the morn· ing stay up until dawn!) and watch the sun rise in its majestic glory from out of the sea­a welcome from Ollr beloved Poseidon. See for yourselves the hreath.taking loveliness of the flashing colors reBected by the ocean.

The New Ocean House is one of America's outstanding resort hotels, with location and sur­roundings of unsurpassed beauty ; warm hospi· tality evidenced in the unusual and attentive service, and homelike comfort with the finest food. The private beach will lure you from its sandy stretch into the blue and sparkling waters; extensive grounds and beautiful gardens will enchant you. There is an excellent one

thousand-yard golf course, and playing prIVI­leges are also available at several other crack courses near the hotel. Boating. fishing, tennis, and archery enthusiasts may indulge to their hearts' cootent, and for those whose days are not complete without a ride, horses can be pro­cured for a canter over some of the beautiful trails nearby.

Upon entering the hotel you will be im­pressed by the foyer and lounge with their at­mosphere of complete luxury and comfort ; go­ing further you will wander into the library with its peaceful quiet, and on to the Open Deck where the restful lounge chairs will make you long to pause for a moment to view the glory of the rolling surf. Before long you will find the Green Room, or the Colonial Room, or perhaps turning in another direction, the main ballroom, all 00 the first Boor. The dining-room is centrally located. Its spadous sun-lighted windows reveal the beautiful gardens. The de­lightful Bagstone path surrounded by rock gar­dens and fronting the beach is an ideal spot for either a quiet moment or a gay rendezvous. Here, and also adjoining the terrace, is an im­pressive rock formation where we will enjoy one of the hotel's incomparable shore dinners, served to us-yes-hut we will eat it with as much enthusiasm as if we had ourselves cooked it right there on the rocks.

Installation of Ohio Zeta

O N MAY 10, 1945, the fondest hopes and dreams of the girls who founded Gamma

Pi local at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, came true. Miss Onken was arriving for the installation of Ohio Z, ninetieth chapter of Pi Beta Phi.

Thursday afternoon the dream began to be­come a reality as we gathered for the pledging ceremonies which were held in the Memorial Presbyterian Church, of which Dr. Eliot Porter, son of the late Mrs. Silas Porter, Illinois B, is pastor. Miss Onken, many alumnae from out of town, and our own Oxford Alumn<r Club were present for the pledging and the informal dinner that was served afterwards in the United Presbyterian Church. Those pledged were Caro­lyn Adams, Johanna Bretz, Hilda Bilderbach, Betty Jo Clarke, Colleen Creary, Virginia Col­lins, Mary Ann Craig, June Cuthbertson, Joan Davenport, Sarah Louise Evans, Mary Louise Fabian, Louise Fairbanks, Nancy Finley, Mar· jorie Fontana, Pleasant Gilman, Janet Hartman, Patricia H e rbert, Marilyn Hassel, Reva Howard , Mildred Johnson, Barbara Knight, Alice Mae Leighton, Loris Miller, Barbara Jo Nussbaum, Georgia Paden , Margaret Page, Katherine Peurifoy, Betts Pfleiderer, Bette Reed, Patricia Riley, Mary Ellen Saunders, Marthalyn Sears, Jeanne Sedam, Jo Ser Vaas, Betty Sotherland, Suzanne Sotherland, Marilyn Stevens, Mary Lou Streeter, Dorothy Svenson, Marguerite Swing, laura Wallace, and five alumn:e, Jane III i tf, Dorothy Routson , Eleanor Waldhauer, Jean Wolfe Williams, Betty Willits. That evening after dinner, Mrs. Robert Wilde, Assistant to the Grand Vice President, and Mrs. Benjamin Lewis, Delta Province Vice President read the Constitution of Pi Beta Phi to the initiates­to-be.

The next morning, the eleventh of May, we returned to the Memorial Presbyterian Church to exchange our pledge pins for Arrows. Miss Onken officiated at our initiation-an honor that none of us will forget, for she had visited us the preceding November and we all felt especially close to her. That noon we had lunch at the United Presbyterian Church, and initia­tion ceremonies were resumed at one o'clock. At four o'clock that afternoon the initiation ceremonies were completed for 23 actives, Carolyn Adams, Hilda Bilderback, Colleen Creary, Mary Ann Craig, Virginia Collins, Joan Davenport, Louise Fairbanks, Marjorie Fon­tana, Pleasant Gilman, Janet Hartman, Patricia

Herbert, Marilyn Hossel, Mildred Johnson, Barbara Knight, Alice Leighton, Georgia Paden, Betts PBeiderer, Bette Reed, Mary Ellen Saunders, Jeanne Sedam, Marilyn Stevens, Mar­guerite Swing, Laura Wallace and the five alumna:, Jane liliA", Dorothy Routson, Jean Wolfe Williams, Betty Willits, Eleanor Wald­hauer, and we looked forwerd to the formal ba nquet that evening.

Laden with wine carnations, blue delphinium, and smilax intertwined down the center, the tables were beautifully decorated. Tall silver and blue tapers furnished the light and at the speakers' table was a large carnation plant, symbolizing the fraternity. The National offi­cers presented toasts compari ng the fraternity to the plant, naming the soi I, the roots, the leaves, and the flowers in comparison to the Founders,. the national Fraternity, the chapter and the individual girls. Recognition pins set with a pearl were presented by the Oxford Alumn:e Gub to Louise Fairbanks, for the highest scholastic average, and to Georgia Paden for being the most outstanding girl. Gardenia corsages marked the guests' places and Miss Onken was presented with a lovely orchid. A delicious meal of creamed chicken in patty shells, fresh peas, potatoes, rolls, coffee, and ice cream with fresh strawberries was served as we all joined in singing Pi Phi songs which now belonged to all of us. Climaxed by the passing of the loving cup, for the first time as Ohio Z, the ceremonies were beautiful and im­pressive.

Many lovely gifts, including a punch bowl, platter, vases, dishes, bookends, and records were received from various sororities on cam· pus. The Oxford Alumn", Club presented us with sterling silver dishes and candlesticks, sterling silver candy dishes and hurricane lamps from Mrs. Helen Meredith Dickson, Missouri A, and Mrs. Margaret Meredith Houghton, Mis­souri A, sterling candlesticks from Mrs. Harry Williams, Oregon B, cut-glass bowl and candlesticks from the Columbus Alumna: Club, embossed leather guest book, from the East Cleveland alumna: club; and the alumn", of Gamma Pi presented us with eight dozen cups and saucers, and plates.

The next morning Miss Onken conducted our first chapter meeting in the recreation room of Wells Hall , at which time she impressed upon us the responsibilities of being members of Pi Beta Phi.

THE MARCH ARROW

In the afternoon our Reception Tea was held in the Brandt Room of Oxford College, one of the oldest University dormitories. Due to the fact that Miami was holding its traditional Mothers' day weekend, many new Pi Pbi parents attended. Pi Phi alllCIlnre, faculty mem­bers, Oxford townspeople, sorority and frater­nity presidents and members were received by the chapter. Music for the reception was fur­nished by Colleen Creacy, one of the new ini­tiates, who is an accomplished harpist.

Immediately after the tea, the inter-sorority sing was held on the LibraI}' steps in honor of the mothers, and Ohio Z made its fint public appearance as the newly installed chapter of Pi Beta Phi, under the direction of Georgia Paden, our song mistress. We sang the "Pi Phi Symphony" and "Now the Day is Over." The day was over, but not forgotten . Ohio Z will continue to strive to maintain the ideals of Pi Beta Phi .

Golden Anniversary of Illinois Zeta

T HE 50th anniversary dinner of Illinois Zeta of Pi Beta Phi was held in the Garden

room of the Urbana-Lincoln hotel. Preceding the dinner there was a reception. at the chapter house, 1005 South Wright street.

The Garden room at the hotel was beautifully decorated with wine and blue. the fraternity colors. There were small tables around the room with only two large ones on either side of the fireplace. the charter members sat at one table and the members of the advisory board sat at the other end.

Mrs. Lucille Wheeler Adams, Urbana, was the toastmistress for the evening. She introduced six of the eight living charter members. They were Mrs. Ann Montgomery Bahnsen, Beverly Hills, Cal.; Mrs. Ed ith Wheeler Gilhuley, Washington, D.C.; Miss Leila White, Detroit, Mich. ; Mrs. Blanche Linsay Wood , Joliet ; Mrs. Laura Busey Fulton, Sycamore; and Mrs. Ame­lia Alpiner Stern, Champaign. The two charter members unable to attend were Mrs. Vivian Monier Morrissey. of Champaign ; and Mrs. Nellie B. Sears, who makes her home in Cali­fornia. The deceased member is Miss Edith Youmans.

The highlight of the evening was the an­nouncement by Mrs. Beatrice Stephenson Pur­dunn in connection with the new Valbelmen award. The word Valbelmen was made up by

taking the first initial from the first name of each of the charter members. The award. or fund will consist of the money contributed by alumnae for the 50th anniversary dinner and the interest will be given to the chapter house for the various needs of the organization.

Mrs. Lois Franklin Stoolman, Grand Treas­urer of Pi Beta Phi gave the welcome speech in place of Amy Burnham Onken, grand president, who was unable to attend. Miss Onken sent a letter which was read by Mrs. Stoolman.

Mrs. Stern gave the response from the char­ter members. She also gave to the chapter her in­itiation card presented to her fifty years ago and the newspaper clipping of the initiation at the time. Both articles will be placed among the chapter archives .

Each charter member was presented with a gold bow knot pin with the fraternity crest on the bow and also a copy of the initiation card Mrs. Stern presented to the chapter house. The copies were presented by girls from the chap­ter house who were dressed in costumes and made up to resemble the charter members them­selves.

Two other active members. Laura Benner and Dorothy Kennedy, dressed in gowns of wine and bluc. presented them with bouquets of roses. The entire group joined together to sing "Speed Thee My Arrow."

N ationa! Panhellenic Conference Meets A TITS twenty.ninth biennial meeting, held

.L\.. at French Lick Springs Hotel, French Lick Springs, Indiana, National Panhellenic Congress, for the first time in its history, had the privilege of having as a guest speaker the Chairman of the National Interfraternity Con· ference. Mr. Verling .c. Enteman's review of the contributions which college fraternities have made in the fields of education and service for almost a hundred years, his expressed belief that in fundamental principles and purposes fraternities have the tools with which to meet successfully conditions and problems of the post·war era, and his call upon fraternities to use those tools in increased service to their own members and increased constructive cooperation with colleges and universities were truly an inspiration. Mr. Enteman closed his address with a plea for close cooperation between col· leges, national fraternities, and active and alumni fraternity members for "understanding and practicing the true principles of democracy, recounting and adhering to established criteria, and promoting and stimulating respect, toler· ance, and loyalty" and said: "We now stand on the threshold of a new day. We extend our hand of cooperation to the institutions. For the generations of students yet to come, we hope that they will clasp it, so that together we can assist them in the art and business of liYing, in furtherance of those two fundamental con­cepts to which we all subscribe-the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man."

With the guidance of Mrs. George Cunning­ham, cp n fI, Chairman, the business sessions proved to be very constructive. Perhaps tho most important action of the Congress was its approval of a completely revised Constitution and By-laws which were promptly adopted upon the required vote of N.P.C. Grand Presidents.

Important changes in procedure, authorized by the new Constitution and By.laws proyide for a reverting to the earlier name, National Pan· hellenic Conference; a modification of the vote required for carrying out the powers of Na· tiona I Panhellenic Conference and for admitting associate and active members; and a cIarifica· tion of many matters of procedure.

The reports of tanding and SpeCial Com· mittees were foHowed by general and exceed· ingly valuable discussions of the fields con­cerned. Among the recommendations adopted as a result of this constructive thinking·together about methods and standards are the following:

"That, s ince it is within the power of the National Panhellenic Congress to be a force in cultural, educational, and civic fields, the National Panhellenic Congress be more alert in taking advantage of opportunities to co· operate in movements which further cultural, educational, and civic interests, and that the Executive Committee be empowered to ar· range for National Panhellenic Congress par· ticipation and representation as opportunities for cooperation arise." "That the College Panhellenic Work-shop program be continued." "That the National Panhellenic Conference approve basing systems of collegiate chapter limitation or pledge quotas on recognition of our chapters as social groups rather than as residence units." "That N .P.C. rescind its former statement of policy as to the number of chapter members (t9,8 Edition of N .P.C. MaT/tial of /T/for­rna/ion, page 30) contained in the words classifying universities and colleges accord­ingly into:

(a) Large--where enrollment of women

students is 1,000 or more. Intermediate---where the enrollment of women students is 300 to 1,000. Small-where the enrollment of women students is under 300.

In order to function effectively on a large (1) campus--the number should not ex­ceed 50; on an intermediate (2) campus­the number should not exceed 35; and on a small (3) campus-the number should not exceed 2'," and so go on record as favoring the following statement of policy :

"I. The element of size is fundamental to the spirit of fraternity_

2. A chapter of a fraternity is defined as its initiated members and pledges.

3. In determining the number of members in a chapter which will enable it to function as a fraternity, consideration must be given to the number of women students enrolled."

"That the National Pan hellenic Conference reaffirm its policy of approval of a short open rushing season," "That the prese,~t N.P.C.-AE.S. agreement remain In force. ''That N.P.C. and A.E.S., through their re­spective committees, undertake a study of the trends and changes in higher education and their subsequent effects upon teachers' col­leges and general colleges." "That a special committee of three be ap­pointed to

Conduct research and experiments in se­lection of members with a view to eliminating the objectionable features of present pro­cedures.

To make progress reports to the Executive Committee of N.P.C.

These experiments to be made on a few selected campuses with the approval and 'CO­

operation of the administration and the Col­lege Panhellenics_

That the laboratory method be used in these experiments, to include careful statistics and reports, trial and error, proftssional guidance aod advice.

That the principle of control of chapter size be retained.

That it he flexible enough to be adjusted to changes in enrollment.

That the rights and needs of all groups be safeguarded .

That the right of mutual free choice be retained.

All College Panhellenics be invited to scrutinize the procedures of their own Pan­hellenics and modify them with a view to avoiding all conspicuous procedures and un­due disappointments." ''That the Association of Central Office Executives he a recognized part of the Na­tional Panhellenic Conference." "That a handbook be compiled by the com­mittee in charge of revision of The Manual for use of N .P.C. delegates and such other fraternities as each fraternity may require, containing the Constitution and By-laws, Standing Rules, Procedures, and such other data as may be deemed pertinent by the com­mittee,"

~ause o~ ~ conviction that a meeting held dunng a cntIcal post-war period should be limited to business sessions no social events were included in the progr~. However, the thoughtful courtesy of <I> n II provided a greatly appreciated coke-party during an especially tiring afternoon and that of AX n, a delightful. informal reception, following an everung session.

The spirit of the Congress was one of co­operation and it promises future adtievements of lasting value. The incoming Executive Com­mittee,

Amy Burnham Onkeo, II B <1>, o,airman; L. Pearle Green, K A 0, Secretary; and Mrs. E. Granville Crabtree, K K r, Treasurer;

pledged its best efforts to see that every Col­lege Panhellenic, every City Panhellenic, and the National Panhellenic Conference itself dur­iog the coming two years strive consciously towards making the Panhellenic Creed a part of themselves and their organizations.

the benefit of the Fraternities in future days . Prime action taken was the appointment of

a committee composed of the Chairman, Secre­tary, and one member of each staff of the inter­fraternity magazines to secure and distribute articles on Panhellenic subjects for the indi­vidual magazines.

Brass Tacks discussions benefited not only the newcomers among the ed itors, but brought out new "knowhows" arnonA' oldsters. Mr. H arold Bachmann brought information about paper supplies and procedures. The Editors' Conference dinner was held in the Blue Room of the hotel. It was attended, as usual, by the business managers of the magazines. There was no planned program si nce NPC's evening ses·

sion was a very interest ing one. Arrangements for the editors' panel on Pub­

lic Relations in the NPC program were made by Airdrie Kincaid Pinkerton, The CreJctlll of r ~ B editor and conference secretary, at the request of the Chairman of the Editors' Con­ference, Adele Taylor Alford, ARROW of IT B <1>. Mrs. Pinkerton spoke on "Improving Panhel­lenic Publ ic Rel ations Through Our Magazines" and Mrs. W . G .

The Committee on Policy of N.I.C. through its chairman, Ben S. Fisher, Sigma Chi. made the following recommendations:

I. The re-establishing of all chapters of present members of the N .I.C. before new chapters are permitted on that campus.

2. Encourage the establishing of local and new chapters of national fraternities in such numbers as will best serve the needs of co lleges and universities in order that every boy desiring to join a fraternity, and measuring up to its standards, shall have that opportunity.

3. The establishing of central bureaus in each college or university where students may go to ask for dates with fraterniti es of their selection .

4. Establish a strong public relations bureau in order to safeguard and develop public good will. Public relations is a liaison operation. It consists in interpreting the fraternal system to

.the public so that better publiC relations and understanding will result.

5. That the N.I.C. continues its sponsorship of the National Committee on College frater­nities and Societies and approve of its aims and purposes.

6. Establish a strong, aggressive post-war policy of letting the world know what frater-

nities were established for and the part they are playing in our American higher educational system.

7. The Decalog of Fraternity Policy- these ideals and principles should be reaffirmed, pub­licized , and practiced.

8. The following principles and concepts should be established by deed and action :

A. That the fraternity member is a serious student interested in the development of higher scholarship standa refs and the good name of h is university or college.

B. That the college fraternity is a democratic institution dedicated to those principles for which many oi its members have given their Jives.

C. That the fraternity is a worthwhile organi­zation on the college campus as measured by services rendered under all circumstances and at all times for the best interests of the greatest number of students.

9. While the actions of this conference are only advisory, they should be respected by all members, and an honest effort made to abide by them as if they were mandatory. When basic policies are formulated, each member should strive to live up to them.

T H E STRAINS of song faded out in the semi­darkened room on the campus of a small,

little-known midwestern college campus. There a fair-haired lad knelt at an improvised altar. As the light of the three mystic Greek letters cast their flickering shadows on the floor her ore him, Earl Cranston took the solemn vows which made him a member of an American college fraternity. The ideals which were presented in the Fraternity ritual that night burned them· selves deeply into the lad's consciousness so that years later, after he had been elevated to the highest position his church had to offer, he not only remembered these ideals, but he also recalled his reaction to the initiation ex­perience, The fair-haired lad of years gone by was now Bishop Earl Cranston, senior Bishop of the Methodist Church, and he was addressing a distinguished assembly in Washington, D.C., honoring a foreign ambassador. In the course of the address, the Bishop had reason to refer to the impression which the ritual of his Fra­ternity had made on him when he was initiated. Said he:

"As I knelt there in the darkness, witnessed the impressive ceremony and experienced the inspiration which the ritual gave me, I thought to myself--'surely they have made a mistake to think that I am worthy of being talked to in this way- I'm not the man these fellows think I am.' .. . .. "But," said Bishop Cranston, "as I got to my feet, I then and there took upon myself an additional obligation-Til make my· self the man they seem to think I am!' ..

In the case of young Cranston, as in thou­sands of similar instances, this fraternity was eogaged in the all-important job of building men, More than 50,000 brothers have shared the experience in kneeling at the altar of this particular fraternity, and there, they have re­ceived ideals which have enriched their lives . The testimony of hundreds of these men could be presented to bear witness to the influence of their fraternity as a Mother of Men. I cite only one additional example,

In 1938, a distinguished American CIt izen, worn by the caces of long service in the Senate of the United States, had gone to a quiet New England resort hotel to regain his health and his strength. As he sat in the wicker rocking chair on the veranda at the Poland Spring House, Senator William E. Borah's thirty·one

G. He,berJ Smilh

years in the United States Senate had taken their toll on his energies, and he had the ap· pearance of a broken man. It so happened that near the close of Mr. Borah's stay at the hotel, the college fraternity which he had joined at the University of Kansas more than fifty years before, was holding its ninety-ninth annual convention at the hotel. Undergraduate delegates of the college chapters were arriving by scores. At first, as they passed in and out of the hotel, the Senator took little notice of them. As the boys discovered his identity, a few stopped to talk to him, and by the time the convention actually opened, it was evident that the sparkle was returning to the old gentle· man's eye. H e was taking an active interest in all that was going on around him. By the fourth day of the convention, his streogth had returned

262 THE MARCH ARROW

sufficiently, that he expressed a desire to attend the convtntion banquet. There was an under· standing that he would not be calJed upon lor an address, but near the close of the evening's program, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee arose at his place and paid a beautiful tribute to bis fraternity. Said the "Lone Lion" of Idaho:

"The inspiration of this gathering to me has been the presence of these magnificent young men. I am satisfied that the country is awaiting their coming. I have long since come to the conclusion that this great fraternity is of in­calculable benefit to this nation. I believe that I shall always feel that whatever success I have attained lowe in large measure to those in­delible impressions created in my college days through my associations with Beta ideals when the Betas at old Kansas gathered together for their weekly meeting." Mother of Men!

The American colJege fraternity has its basis in the highest of ideals which have inspired youth for more than a century. It makes little difference whether the emblem is the Shield or the Cross, the Arrow, the Lyre, the Kite, the Key, or the Anchor, one and a half million members of thirty-five hundred chapters of col­lege fraternit.ies and sororit ies have had held before them ideals similar to those which in­spired Bishop Cranston and Senator Borah. It was Bishop Cranston who further said:

"I had the vision of the fraternity's ideals. After all, it is a vision that a young fellow gets that helps most if he achieves success. With­out vision life is a drudgery; with vision. a man may do the hardest work with a song in his soul. It is our young men who see visions most clearly."

With all its qualities of worth, the Greek­letter college fraternity is essentially a human institution, and as such, is subject to the frail­ties of bumanity. It is these human weaknesses which were magnified and emphasized in the recent article "Heartache on the Campus." In spite of the fact that the weaknesses of the col­lege fraternity are minor, when compared to the constructive contributions of these groups, there are those individuals who either do not under­stand these organizations of college young peo­ple, or who are so sophisticated or have grown so skeptical tbat they no longer have faith in the inBuence ot positive ideals on the lives of young men and women. These critics, sincere, hut misguided, as are many extreme agitators, choose the most opportune time to hurl the charge--"Undemocratic, un-American, discrimi­nating !" Thus, when many college fratemity

chapters are weakened or have been temporarily closed through the demands of the war, and with about a half a million college fraternity men at the battle fronts throughout the world, to some few people the time evidently appears to be right to "take up the case against the college fraternity."

The recent "Heartache" article, already men­tioned, made an impassioned appeal "for the legislators of the country to enact stringent laws abolishing the undemocratic college so­cieties." The first example of "undemocratic activity" cited by the author was the refusal of a college fraternity chapter to pledge "a student who had recently been discharged from the army for poor health." This makes an ex­cellent example for the author's purpose since it is effectively designed to direct the reader's sympathy to the discharged veteran and against the organization which refused him member4 ship. The inference is lelt that the returning veteran generally is perIona non grata to the American college fraternity. Anyone who is now on a college campus with active fraternity chap­ters knows that this is contrary to fact. It just is not true! Records are avai lable to show that large numbers of returning veterans are becom4 ing members of college fraternity chapters, and in many instances fraternity chapters. tem4 porarily closed, are being reopened with a nucleus of men who have been in service.

Let us consider the implication that because a man has served in the army, he is automati4 cally entitled to membership in a college fra­ternity. This is an interesting turn of mind and a contention which I believe few veterans would hold . If we follow the reasoning to its logical conclusion, by the same token we migbt conclude that war service entitles the veteran to the scholastic honors of Phi Beta Kappa, if he desires membership in that organization. Or perhaps he is entitled automatically to a college diploma or to a successful busioess ca­reer. The GI Bill of Rights goes far, and justly so, in recognizing the contributions of the men who have fought for our liberty. It guarantees every returning service person a chance at an education. The work of gaining that education must, of necessity, be done by the individual himseU. It cannot be conferred on him because of war service. The Bill of Rights also guaran­tees the veteran a chance at a job, but in like measure it cannot guarantee him successful ac· complishment in that job once he gets it. That again is up to him. All that our American Democracy bas ever guaranteed is equal oppor­tunity. A returned veteran is entitled to the

THE MARCH ARROW 263

opportunity for an education, for scholastic honors, for participation in campus affairs, for mem~rship in college f ratemities. This is all anyone can guarantee him. The returned soldier mentioned by the author of "Heartache" was given such consideration. He came to the cam­pus a legacy (relative of a member). He was looked over by the men in the fraternity chap­ter who 6nally decided not to invite him to membership. Certainly such an incident is no evidence of the claimed "undemocratic" nature of the college fraternity.

The personal fraternity experience of the author of "Heartache" is cited as further evi· dence of the un-American nature of the col­lege fraternity. She admits that as an under­graduate college woman, she had joined one of the well·established women's fraternities. In the recent vicious attack on the American college fraternity system, she gives no evi­dence of any appreciation of the distinguished leadership and accomplishments of Pi Beta Phi, the particular fraternity in whose good name the author has shared since the day of initiation. The fact that she mentions none of the con­structive achievements of this group or of fra­ternities in general, causes one to wonder if these facts were omitted because of lack of knowledge in the subject or in a deliberate attempt to vilify the college fraternity by pre­senting none of its many constructive charac­teristics.

It so happens that I know considerable about this particular fraternity for women. Pi Beta Phi did not grow out of the atmosphere of a socially distinguished college campus, but had its birth at Monmouth College in Illinois, a small mid-western college where high standards of scholarship and Christian ideals in educa­tion have traditionally gone hand in hand. There in 1867, a group of 12 college girls banded themselves together in the first coUege fraternity for women. They hoped that through their association they might achieve jointly, in scholarship, character, leadership, and service, that which they could not expect to accomplish as individuals. How well these 12 girls planned is attested by the record of achievement of the Pi Beta Phi fraternity during more than three quarters of a century of its history. In addition to the service the organization has rendered its own members in the development of leader­ship, the encouragement of scholarship, and the upholding of the highest standards of con­duct and character, including loyalty to one's freely given pledge, there are few organizations of a social nature which have given greater

service to those outside of their own member­ship.

Thirty-five years ago, this fraternity of col­lege women investigated the needs for educa­tional oppprtunities in the Appalachian Moun­tain region and voted to establish a settlement school in the mountain area of eastern Tennes­see. The Pi Beta Phi Settlement School was opened at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in February, 1912, with 13 children and one teacher. This school now offers fully accredited educational opportunities through the grade and high school to an average enrollment of over four hun­dred students. This college fraternity for women has put more than half a million dollars into the building, support, and operation of this Settlement School to provide educational op­portunities for the poor children of this moun· tain region, who otherwise would have been denied the privileges of an education.

An interesting sidelight in the private affairs of this fraternity is that a few years ago, one of the mountaineer girls who had been edu­cated in the Settlement School, went on to coUege and became a member of Pi Beta Phi. Today another product of the Settlement School is a pledge in one of the Pi Beta Phi chapte ... In aU fairness, may we not ask the question, is this evidence of a snobbish, undemocratic, un-American attitude on the part of this col­lege fraternity?

In addition to the Settlement School project, Pi Beta Phi, during the present war, has raised a fund exceeding $21,500 to provide scholar­ships in Physiotherapy training. Through this fund to date, assistance has been given to 40 young women to prepare them for service so greatly needed by the nation.

These philanthropic activities of Pi Beta Phi are not peculiar to one college fraternity. Each of the 21 member groups in National Pan­hellenic Congress have developed worthwhile services to humanity. Some of these are par­ticularly worthy of mention. During the tirst World War, A X n became interested in the care of war orphans, and a number of such children were adopted and supported by alumn., groups. In 1941, this fraternity supplied the funds to provide a hostel for bombshocked children, to be administered by the American Air Raid Committee of the British War Relief Society. A r tl also has an interest in children, and since 1920 has conducted a summer camp for underprivileged children on Crespell Lake at Jackson, Michigan. The fraternity has in­vested more than $80,000 in this camp project.

the Social Service Department of the Frontier Nursing Service designed to care for the medi­cal health and social needs of poor people in the rural mountain area of eastern Kentucky. B l: 0 has another Kentucky project in the Pine Mountain Settlement School in Harlan County.

Delta Gamma has its service interests in projects to aid the blind. Since 1936, the Fra­ternity has maintained a nursery school for visually handicapped children in Los Angeles, California.

Since 1922, the 6. Z Community Center at Vest, Kentucky, has provided education and a health program for an increasing number of children. This school employs five teachers and is fully accredited by the State of Kentucky.

After contributing more than $10,000 to war charities in World War I, r <I> Bin 1925 started its program of Vacation Camp Homes for chil­dren. Four such camps are operated near Denver. Vancouver, Virginia Beach, and Buffalo. Ap­proximately 160 children benefit from these camps annually.

During this year, K A 0's relief and re­habilitation funds are being devoted to supply­ing material to American seamen through the American Merchant Marine Library Association. and to giving assistance to children of war-torn countries through the Foster Parent Plan of providing support for a foster child in a liber­ated country.

The needs of women in the armed forces have been served by K K r through 10 Service Women's Centers which the fra­ternity has opened in various parts of the country.

Since 1922, <I> M has supplied and operated the Healthmobile, a dinic on wheels serving the poorer regions of Georgia. The Health­mobile is operated under the state division of tuberculosis control and carries both x-ray and fluoroscope machines.

Theta Upsilon maintains a Health Fund at Berea College which is used primarily in providing eye glasses, financing tonsillectomies and for deotal work among needy students. About 35 students are assisted each year.

For almost 20 years, Z T A has supplied medical and health needs through the frater­nity's Health Center near Marion, Virginia. During the first 10 years of its operation, the Health Center ministered to some 3,000 pa­tients.

The American college fraternities for women are thus seen to have humanitarian projects from coast to coast. Their service to humanity becomes all the mOre striking and appreciated if we bear in mind that these organizations are primarily social literary societies. and, as such, have a right to exist just for the benefit of their own members. Let the critics of the American college fraternity system find any other group of campus or non-campus social organizations which can approach the record of the Greek-letter sororities in their phil­anthropic and social service to individuals out­side their own membership. Not even the campus Y.M.CA. and Y.W.CA. are com­parable in this regard .

The author of "Heartache" stated that she had been initiated by a college Greek-letter society. I, too, joined a fraternity when 1 was in college, and for more than 20- years I have been a working member of that fraternity. No associations which I have enjoyed in life have been more constructive or have meant more to me than the friendships made through my fra­ternity. In addition, after 17 years of college administrative experience spent in close associa­tion with college students, I can say without hesitation, that in no other work which 1 have done have I been in a position to have the con­fidence and exert the positive influence in the formation of character of young men which I have enjoyed in the service to my fraternity.

The author of the recent article which de­manded the abolition of fraternities on the grounds of snobbishness had a very different background from my own, which may in part account for the fundamental di.fference in our points of view. Unlike that lady, I did not come from a family whose members "for a generation attended distinguished colleges." Perhaps this is one reason that I do not con­sider that a fraternity which would invite me to membership could be classed as "exclusive" or "snobbish." My family were good Christian people without social or financial prestige. My father was a carpenter, and a good one, but the wages which he earned were not sufficient to pay much on a college education. It was known that I would be required to earn my own way in college by the work I could do. During these four undergraduate years, I

washed disbes, cut grass, washed windows, and sold Bibles. AU of this had no influence on the men in the fraternity chapter, and I was pledged and initiated_ In fact, without the help which the Fraternity provided in the form of work in the chapter house, I hardly know how I could have completed my college education!

My experience was not an isolated case of one boy who was taken into the Fraternity as a missionary project! I have known hundreds of young men and women who in like cir­cumstances have joined fraternities and so­rorities . During four years at the University of Illinois and 10 years at DePauw, I have never known the profession of the father to be the governing influence in the selection of members by a fraternity. In fact, quite the opposite has been the case. There was Jan, a bright-eyed girl, whose father, before his death, was a laboring man. She worked her way through college by serving tables in the dormi­tory. She was always busy with her double load of duties, but she was cheerful, optimistic. and so appreciative of her chance to go to col­lege! For two and a half years she was sought by the Jeading sororities on that campus, but declined their invitations because she could not finance the extra cost. During her junior year, a friend offered to pay her initiation fee and she was pledged to and initiated into the very fraternity to which the author of "Heart­ache" belonged!

In my own experience, I have found col­lege young people, including Greek-letter fra­ternity members, to be much less prejudiced, snobbish, and hidebound than their elders who make up the University and Country Clubs of our adult population.

For 17 years, I have served in college ad­ministrative positions on three campuses, and during the past 10 years, I have had occasion to visit over one hundred of the leading col­leges and universities of America and Canada. My observation has been that the influence of the Greek-letter college fraternity has been constructive. Dean Thomas Arkle Clark, the first dean of men, with whom I served at the University of Illinois, often said that he wished that every college student might have the ex­perience of membership in a college fraternity. One of Dean Clark's contemporaries at another great midwestern university, Dean Stanley Coulter of Purdue, once remarked, "When I have a difficult job to be done on the campus, and I want it to be well done, I turn it over to the Fraternity men and women."

In this statement, Dean Coulter simply ad-

mitted what many college administrators know full well, that the college f r.ternity lends itself to effective use by administrative officers when college deans are wise enough to work and through their fraternities in the administrat ion and solution of student problems. College fra­ternities have gained their greatest development and strength on the campuses when it is recog· oized that the Fraternity chapter house is an integral part of the housing program of the campus, and where the college works with the Fraternity to achieve the educational and social aims of the institution itself. Good examples of this relationship are to be found at Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan State, Miami University, Pennsylvania State, DePauw, Denison, Law­rence, Duke. yracuse, lnd other institutions.

On some other college campuses, where fra­ternities have failed to be of any value, the college itself must share the blame for setting low standards for its organizations and for failing to expect and demand constructive achievement of student societies. A student organization, whether it be fraternity or club, is not likely to set for itself higher standards than the college expects of it. Several years ago I visited an eastern colJege campus where fraternities were having a hard pull. In the course of my visit, I called on the Dean who received me coolly, and when I had told him I desired to discuss fraternities, he said:

"I suppose if our fraterniti es teach our men what they _need to know about liquor and women, they are serving their purpose."

Is it any wonder that the fraternities exert no great constructive influence on that campus?

The two most important contributions which our system of national fraternities can bring to a campus are the basic ideals of the individual fraternity and the constructive leadership of the national and regional officers. I have in­dicated the influence of fraternity ideals in the life of its members. For more than a century these ideals have been implemented by the fra­ternity le3:ders who have spent their time pre­senting them to the undergraduate members and working with the undergraduate chapters. The work of these men and women has supple­mented the leadership of college administrative officers and faculty members. Anyone who has known Francis W. Shepardson, Billy Levere, Arthur Priest, Joseph Nate, Thomas Arkle Clark, and other distinguished fraternity work­ers, know . that these men enriched the lives not only of their own fraternity members, but of all with whom they came in contact. They were giants in the upholding of ideals for

l

young people, and their campus visits were always a source of inspiration. Their successors carry on their work today.

In 1942 when I came to my present position at Willamette University, I found local fra· ternities which had been on the campus for a quarter of a century. These organizations had served their members during this period, but I soon discovered that they were not able to hold up the idealism, nor did they benefit from the leadership enjoyed by the national organi· zations. In addition, these local groups were more aloof from the primary purposes of the university than were the chapters of national fraternities which I had known. In short, the local societies had all the human weaknesses of the coliege fraternity system with none of its advantages.

After careful consideration, the Board of

Trustees of the University voted to permit the local groups to petition for chapters of national fraternities. In the discussion which took place in the Board meeting one Board member, a fra4 temity man, member of an Ohio chapter for over 40 years, made this comment:

"Other than the influence of my family, nO other institution has made as great a contribu­tion to my life as my coliege fraternity."

Willamette University now has three na­tional groups for women and looks forward to the installation of a fourth. After the war, it is anticipated that the local groups for men will be reviewed and in time, will bring na· tional fraternities for men to the campus of this oldest university west of the state of Missouri. These national fraternities are ~ing welcomed for the service they can render. I believe in them-they are Mothers of Men.

Public Relations Report at N.I.C. The dominant subject of the N .I.C. confer·

"By creating a public opinion favorable to fraternity growth. This is not done by state· ments, advertisements, press releases. and speeches. It is done at the outset and continuo ously by each local element of the whole frater· nity system getting into gear, but quickly, with its own college community.

"The fraternities' public relations problem is national in scope because the fraternity system is national in scope. But the solution is to be found in local action, local college leadership, local cooperation, local salesmanship, local pub. icity of a sort that the coliege audience will

The Stanford Case Official Statement Approved by National Panhellenic Conference

T HIS offidal review of Stanford University and the action taken by its Board of Trus­

tees eliminating women's Greek-letter societies from the Stanford campus April 22, 1944, presents the facts as revealed by exhaustive study beginning with the founding of the University by United States Senator Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, and amendments made by Mrs. Stanford to the Founding Grant, as well as the agitation leading to the action by the Trustees.

The Founding Grant made by the Stanfords bearing the date of 1885 included among its general purposes inculcation of "love and reverence derived from the inalienable rights of men to life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap­piness." In the founding Grant the founders imposed on the trustees the "duty to have taught in the University the right and advantages of association and cooperation" and "to afford equal facilities and equal advantages in the University to both sexes." The grantors reserved the right to alter, amend, or modify the terms and conditions of the trust. In pursuance of that reservation Mrs. Stanford made an amend· ment in 1897 as follows: "I also direct that student associations shall be allowed to build houses of attractive exterior, the minimum cost to be fixed at $5,000.00."

Also an amendment by Mrs. Stanford in 1899 states the following: "It is desirable that members of the Faculty and the students should generally reside upon the grounds of the Uni­versity, the trustees are, therefore, empowered to lease to the members and officers of the Faculty and associations of students, parcels of said grounds suitable for the erection of dwell· ing houses upon such terms, and for such rent as the Trustees may deem for the best interests of the University; but each of the leases shall contain conditions to the effect that a dwelling house shall be erected upon the leased premises, that its exterior shall be attractive in appearance, and cost not less than $4,000.00." This amendment also stipulated that "societies or assodations of students shall be permitted to build houses for the use of the members of the societies or associations respectively but the respective houses must be of an attractive exterior and the minimum cost to be fixed at $6,000.00 and must not be reo leased to anyone for boarding houses."

In the 1899 amendment Mrs. Stanford stipu. lated that "after my death the Board may, from time to time, at its pleasure adopt by. laws not inconsistent with law, or the rules, regulations or orders made by the founders of the University, or either of them."

In an amendment to the founding Grant made by Mrs. Stanford in 1902, it was stipu­lated that the then President of the University should have exdusive (ontrol over appoint­ments and dismissals of professors and teachers during her administration. At that time David Starr Jordan was preSident and this amendment demonstrated Mrs. Stanford's faith in him, both as administrator and as an interpreter of Stan­ford. Mr. Stanford selected Dr. Jordan as the first president of the University and at the dedi­cation exercises October I, 1891, Dr. Jordan spoke as follows: "We would have this institu­tion help to lit men and women for usefulness in life, by increasing their individual power of production and by making them good company for themselves and others,"-"We have pro­vided that u'e education of the sexes shall be equaJ"-"It is ours at the beginning to give the university its form, its tendencies, its customs" -"Traditions and associations it is ours to make"-"Volitional courses will emphasize the element of consent in education" -"The largest liberty consistent with good order will be granted students"-"Grace and fitness have an educational value too often forgotten"­"There are among studeots other bonds than those of scholarship, which fact gave rise to college fraternities, as an important factor in college life"-

In harmony with (1) the objectives of "stu· dent association" required by the Stanfords, (2) the amendments whereby student groups could have the use of land for houses and (3) Dr. Jordan's interpretations of student life, Greek letter societies both for men and women were welcomed and in fact officially urged to place chapters at Stanford University. Ground leases were made to women's Greek letter groups at Stanford, so they could have residences on the campus as stipulated by Mrs. Stanford.

An examination of various ground leases made to women's groups at Stanford University, some of which were sigoed by Mrs. Stanford, shows that these leases were made on ten year terms. In 1920 the Board of Trustees ruled

267

268 THB MARCH ARROW

that lease renewals would be made for one year "until the policy of the Board as to the housing problem on the campus has been clearly defined." In 193~ the Board of Trustees au­thorized leases to fraternities and sororities for fifteen years when the Board loaned funds in excess of $7,500 for reconstruction or pur­chase of houses. One of the conditions in the leases was that they should be used excl usively for the Greek letter Societies for which the lease was made. The character of the occupancy of the house could not be changed during the term ",f the lease except by request of the group itself. These leases provided conditions for forfeiture of the property in case of violations of certain stipulations in the leases ; however, if those stipulations were not violated then the lease guaranteed occupancy for the term of the lease without "let, molestation or hin­drance:' When the Board of Trustees abolished women's fraternities in 1944 it is clear that they violated the condition of the leases which guaranteed occupancy by the Greek Letter So­cieties for the full term of the lease without "hindrance." However, it is likely that the Trustees were not informed of the terms of these leases and therefore did not realize they were violating the terms of their contracts.

In some later leases there was a provision that if the lessor "should at any time there­after construct house accommodations available to Greek letter fraternities at Stanford Univer­sity" and should offer or tender the lessee "ade­quate accommodations in buildings provided by the University as a part of its general plan for housing fraternities then the lease may be cancelled by the lessor."

This provision implies that it was the purpose of the Trustees to carry out the intent of he founders and ties in with the expressed pur­pose of the Stan fords in stressing that it is the duty of the Trustees "to have taught in the University the right and advantages of associa­tion and cooperation." The three amendments by Mrs. Stanford providing that student groups could have their own residences on the campus were made to assist in realizing this objective. In the amendmeot to the Founding Grant made by Mrs. Stanford in 1902 there was also this statement balancing objectives of the Univer­sity: "The University has been endowed with a view of offering instruction free, or nearly free, that it may resist the tendency to the stratification of society, by keeping open an avenue whereby the deserving and exceptional may rise through their own efforts from the lowest to the highest stations in life. A spirit

of equality must accordingly J,., maintained within the University. To this end it shall be the duty of the University authorities to prohibit excessive expenditures and other excesses on the part of the students, and the formation or growth of any organization, custom or social function that tends to the development of ex­clusive or undemocratic castes within the Uni­versity, and to exclude from the Institution anyone whose conduct is inconsistent with the spirit of the foundation."

In other words this provision recognized the capacity of individuals to attain prestige and that those who have ability to rise to a higher status shall not J,., rejected because of financial limitations and that there should be

. no conspicuous display of superiority. It recog-nized the reality of prestige but created safe­guards of balance. But an undemocratic or caste system did develop by a prestige-build-up of hall sponsors who were skillfully indoctrinated against Greek letter groups until in 1943 they reached the role of arrogant superiority and petitioned that the Greek letter groups disband voluntarily. Indeed it is known that such spon­sors told undergraduates that if they joined a Greek letter society they would never receive high positions in campus activities . This coer­cion was at the level of the old fashioned ward boss in city politics. The record shows that the attitudes of these leaders were not only undemocratic, but were typical of those who, while ruthless, interpret their purposes senti­mentally. Wise educational leadership, not appeasement, is required to correct such tenden· cies in youth.

Prestige exists in every city and town and county in the United States. Even in Santa Oara County, home of Stanford University, prestige flourishes as shown by the book, Ballots and tbe Democratic Class Struggle published by the Stanford University Press. Also, pro­fessors are usually in the top group of prestige categories. Indeed, Stanford itself desires pres­tige and indoctrinates its students with a con­cept of uniqueness, but is it the American or democratic form ? Greek letter societies recog­nize the wisdom of individuality of each col­lege and university because that quality tends to keep creative abilities at work in a democ­racy, without the spirit of isolation. Through chapters in several hundred colleges and uni­versities the national Greek letter societies help to develop appreciation for the total educa­tional eHort in our country and therefore are a definite asset to the country in maintaining education as an essential foundation of demo-

cracy. The pursuit of prestige for its own sake makes it easy to ignore integrity and truth, and while one of the world symbols of the Stanford anti-fraternity agitation was "undemo­cratic" it might be added that there is nothing democratic in the pursuit of prestige for its own sake. Prestige persists because those who really have it also possess a serene self-respect that makes it natural for them to respect the rights of others.

In the amendment to the Founding Grant made by Mrs. Stanford in 1899 it was stipu­lated "whereas the University was founded in memory of our dear son Leland and bears his name, I direct under the power given me in the original grant, that the number of women attending the University as students sha! J at no time ever exceed 500." In 1903, when Mrs. Stanford was resigning, she stated that if the Trustees found it desirable to eliminate women they could but as this would have required re­writing of the final powers given by her to the Trustees she withdrew the proposed amend­ment and the limitation remained at 500. How­ever, in 1933 the Trustees set the limitation aside. Their decision was accompanied by a statement by Dr. Wilbur, then president of Stanford, that lifting the limitation was neces­sary to meet the financial emergency in which the University found itself in the depression. Within two years the number of women stu­dents rose to 800 and by 1943 there were more than 1300 women students. But no additional women's Greek letter groups were admitted to the University, and the concern of the Stanfords for group associations was not ad­vanced. Mor"Xlver, University rules had further restricted that objective of the Stanfords by limiting the number of women that could be admitted to the Greek letter societies. In 1943 out of a freshman class of 500 women, 374 wished to be identified with such groups but due to administration rules only 126 could be invited to membership. The responsibi lity for this situation rested squarely on the administra­tion.

For some years, there have been influential in the affairs of Stanford, some men who as undergraduates at Stanford were members of a group that took solemn vows always to fight the Greek letter societies although as one of them laughingly remarked in later years-"We were just as much a fraternity as the Greek letter societies." But it should be added that the destructive intent of those Stanford boys was not in the American tradition of the right of free­dom of association, because they were exercis-

ing the same right they wished to deny to others.

Stanford University really owes its exist· eoce to the sacrifices and courage of Mrs. Stan­ford. When the panic of 1893 came, the resources of the Stan fords, which were in rail ­road properties, were threatened and an end would have been brought to the Stanford adventure except for Mrs. Stanford's sacrifices and determination. In a conference with her attorneys and bankers Mrs. Stanford was ad­vised by all except her brother to close the University at least temporarily. Mrs. Stanford was determined to see it through. She sold at a sacrifice six strands of choice pearls and tried in vain to sell other precious jewels. She was allotted by the !"obate court S 10,000 per month which was approximately what she was ac­customed to spend in the maintenance of her household. She reduced her personal expenses to around $350.00 per month and turned the balance over to President Jordan to keep the University in operation. In the course of this heroic effort on the part of Mrs. Stanford she, in an interview, told how Mr. Huntington, was named a director of the Southern Paci fic or Central Pacific Railroad Company to fill a vacancy that should have been filled by a Stan­ford representative. Then she stated she told Mr. Huntington "that when her Stanford Uni­versity boys grew up they would settle with him for his treatment of her," but his reply was that she would never see the day when one of her boys would lift a finger in her defense. In the course of this story Mrs. Stanford broke into tears and the man to whom she told the story commented that "Mrs. Stanford only pretended she did not believe what Huntington said and that she was too shrewd a woman to doubt Huntington's knowledge of human na· ture." Now the Greek letter women at Stanford quite fully realize how truthful that remark was, for the elimination of women's Greek letter societies from Stanfora was really accomplished by a group of men and Mrs. Stanford's pur­poses were not defended by her Stanford boys. The hall sponsors were merely instruments of a long time objective. Also when in the depres­sion of the early thirties problems of finance again confronted the University, her boys set aside her limitation of 500 women students and sought revenue from increased enrollment of women. But they refused to recognize the right of those women to freedom of association. However, this is not a cause of discouragement to women, for all women know that the high status women hold today has been attained

through the aid of understanding men. Due to some generalities and reservations

in the original grant setting up the trust to create Stanford University in 1885, many legal steps have been necessary. Not only were special acts passed by the legislature of the state of California but an amendment to the Constitu· tion of the State of California was also neces· sary and various court proceedings have been employed. However, the long struggle for stability, the constant change and the mere personal wishes and resentments of some indi· viduals are typical of hwnan beings in the his· tory of institutions of every kind. But in the slow processes of time wisdom gains. So, even though the hopes and purposes of the Stanfords have been dimmed they will glow again. They wanted to make it possible for individuals to rise but they also dearly desired that in rising they would take on the restraints of cultivated per· sons.

The insistence of Mr. and Mrs. Stanford in behalf of liberty and freedom of association showed great foresight. Not only are they of the essence of the American way of life, but they have been given a rebirth throughout the world by the United Nations Charter. That charter, by the way, was adopted at San Fran· cisco, only a few miles distant from Stanford. But if these rights are to flourish in the world women must understand them as thoroughly as men.

There are several million Greek letter men and women in' the United States. They have no desire to unite into one vast organization as a pressure group. They desire to retain their separate entities in the spirit of freedom of association. The ultimate value of such freedom is individual growth which is essential in a democracy. The Greek letter societies are an expression of that freedom and of American democracy.

Women at N.I.C.

F OR THE first time women were honored with an active part at the meeting of N.I.C. in

D«=her, when the chairman of N.P.C., Miss Onken, the chairman of the Professional Pan· hellenic Association, Mrs. Francis R. Murray, the representative of the National Association of Deans of Women, Dean Eunice Hilton of Syra. cuse University, were speakers at a symposium under the leadership of Dean Park of Ohio State University.

"The sp«ial privileges that fraternity men and women have," declared Miss Amy Burn· ham Onken, national chairman of the National PanheUenic Congress, "should be accepted with humility as obligations. Fraternities," she con· tinued, "have the tools with which to work, ideals which set high ,tandards for living and being.

"In the National Interfraternity Conference's Fraternity Criteria and its Princifles of De· mocracy, in the Association 0 Education Sororities' Code of Ethics, in the National Pan· hellenic Conference's Creed, fraternities have pcodaimed their ideals for a united effort to· wards the attainment of common goals. These then are both the tools with which fraternities must work and the measuring stide by which they will be judged.

"These creeds speak for themselves of the common ideal that fraternities shall help their

members get the most and the best- and only the best- from their college experiences in order that they may prepare themselves to give the most and the best of themselves to all life's experiences and that they shall be a vital factor in producing truly educated men and women,"

For the first time N .I.C. brougbt out a united front to preserve and strengtl>en the fraternity and the sorority as worthy agents in the social and educational development of young mea and women.

Largest gathering of the Conference was the Victory luncheon held at the Waldorf Astoria, attended by 450 men and women, with Dr. Edmund Day, president of Cornell as princi· pal speaker. Miss Onken as chairman of N.P.C. was the only woman at the speakers' table. Through the courtesy of Mu Phi Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Iota, a musical program was given by Josephine Antoine, Chi Omega, Metropoli· tan Opera coloratura, and Gertrude Hopkins, Harpist-<J.t its dose, Miss Antoine very gra· ciously presented to Miss Onken a gorgeous bouquet of Bowers, her own, carnations named for her by the Illinois Association nf Florists.

The full story of National Interfraternity Conference is too long for present limitations of space, but extracts from outstanding talks made there appear elsewhere in this issue.

M ISSy, two fine white soldier men come for see you and Massah. They be tine too

much, Missy. They be your country brother, ah '" y .

With these familiar pidgin English words of Small Boy, one of my native servants, I was called into the living room to greet two officers of the United States Army. As Small Boy had predicted, they were from America and so my "country brothers", but more than that they were also my Pi Beta Phi brothers. A few years ago back in Ohio Delta Chapter on the Ohio Wesleyan campus, Clara Ann Leach Mizen, El­dora Baughn Montgomery, and I had gathered round for our Pi Phi cooky-shines. Now six thousand miles away in the little Negro Repub-lic of Liberia on the West Coast of Africa, we were entertaining their husbands, Major Robert Mizen and Lieutenant Charles W. Montgomery_ For many months Major Mizen was stationed here in Monrovia, just a few blocks from our home and we had daily visits. There are two other Pi Phi brothers that compose our little group, Lieutenant Colonel Elton LeHew, hus­band of Elizabeth Amos LeHew of Oklahoma Alpha and Captain Bill Valencourt, brother of Helen Valencourt of Wisconsin Gamma. Dr. LeHew is usually OUf host when we spend a weekend at the army camp, and has special guard duty warn all that a woman is on the post. On V-E day Captain Valencourt was our luncheon guest and together we listened to that glorious news of President Truman's. A special wine and blue tablecloth is brought forth for these friends and my arrow has brought smiles and happy memories to many of our American army and navy boys stationed here for there is always an lllinois boy who dated the pretty Pi Phis at the University of IlJinois, a Ten­nessee soldier who knows the work of our Settlement School at Gatlinburg, and boys from many states in the union who have a special Pi Phi waiting for them someplace back home.

For alrnost two years now my Delt husband and I have been opening our home to these wonderful friends, visiting them at the army post, my husband preaching at the picturesque chapel set among the palm trees, and traveling with ,orne of them as they journeyed into the interior on a furlough. Our guest log reads like 1 roll call of the 48 states, which has made our life a more interesting one-with the Pi Phi husbands, brothers, sweethearts, and "just

friends of Pi Phi's" being my alumna: dub here on the shores af Africa.

In September 1943 my husband and I left Philadelphia on the Serpa Pinto, a Portuguese boat, loaded with an interesting passenger list of people going to all parts of the world on various political. economic, diplomatiC, and religiOUS missions. After visits at the Azores, Madeira Islands, and Lisbon, we were trans· planted via Pan American Clipper to our ntw home in Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia. This country is about the size of the state of Ohio, settled in 1822 by a group of repatriated slaves from the U. S. whose ancestOrs now make up the ruling class of the country. It has always been like an "American step child" and the city IS rapidly becommg fiUed With the various U. S. experts here to study the situation and to develop its vast resources, to cultivate its rich heritage, and to strengthen in various ways the link between this republic and our own country.

My day in the tropics begins with the caU of the pepper bird in the globular mango tree outside our bedroom window, the dropping of the buckets in the well by the care-free bare foot native boy, the cooking of powdered eggs on the wood burning stove, the boiling and filtering of all our drinking water and the daily outline of work for the five servants. This sounds as if I would have nothing to do the remainder of the day but their ideas of cleanli­ness, cooking. speaking, and ethics are so unlike ours that I spend part of the time teUing them how to do something and the rest of it doing it myself.

Wearing a sun helmet and sun glasses in the six months of the dry season, and high boots, raincoat, and helmet in the six months of the heavy rains, I may proceed to the Waterside

With this article came a letter (rom the author: "I am a member of Ohio Delta Chapter, graduat. ing in 1939 after serving as president of that chapter. I have always had a great interest in the work of the fraternity and after graduation acted as supervisor on the social exchanJlte committee for Bcta Province.

to do some shopping. A scantily clad black skin boy will be following me, carrying the parcels, none of which will be wrapped. There in DO dress shop. no drug store, no book store, no bakery so it's not the regular kind of inter­esting shopping tour. The~ath in front of the "general" stores is tilled With native men ped­dling the sewing machines to make lappas for the native women and suits or robes for the men. If I want to add a new dress to my wardrobe, I go to one of the dressmakers with a piece of cloth and a picture from a recent magazine of a dress which I would like. Patterns are too much "palaver" for them.

Following our noon "chop" we take a short siesta and then are ready to attend one of the many meetiogs always in session, to callan one of the Liberian officials, to visit in the home of one of the foreign colony, or to entertain in our own home. Night comes rapidly and early in the tropics and dinner at seven finds me garbed in mosquito boots with any exposed parts covered with insect repellent and one course of the meal consisting of quinine or atabrine, vitamins, and a list of other little pills. We eagerly listen to the latest radio news to keep in touch with the events of the world and then retire under a mosquito net.

Life here is different and difficult but it is also fascinating and adventurous. It's a land of gorgeous sunsets, of moonlight nights with the palms swaying in the breeze of the ocean, of native dances with tom toms in a village of

native huts, of formal dances at a palm thatched pavilion with personalities from all over the world, of trips into the interior by hammock along a bush trail where at any time a bush cow, a leopard, a snake may break the monotonous green, of walks among native Bowers which grow in profusion every month in the year, and of life with the well dressed, well educated Liberian official and of life with the naked, iHiterate Liberian native who is still amazed by our pale faces and strange ways. Most of all iI's a country which needs help in all fields of ac· tivity and that has been the challenge to us.

Both my husband and I have been teaching at our Methodist College of West Africa here. last year Mr. Smith was also lastor of our church of 500 Negro people an this year has reopened Stokes Bible School. He is traveling throughout the country as much as he can, hold~ ing institutes with the preachers to develop a well trained and efficient ministry. Every day brings new problems and new interests and the months of our three year term pass rapidly by. Near the end of 1946 we will return to the U.S. -to the land of running water and good food, of newspapers and movies, of electric lights and modern transportation, of friends and of loved ones, of college reunions and Pi Phi a1umnre meetings-but our thoughts will wander back to our African friends who have helped us to understand that people throughout the world are very much alike.

Two members of California B, Constance Colonna and Jane Patterson, were killed in an automobile accident during the Christmas holidays. The chapter observed a period of mourning for one month. Sympathy of Pi Beta Phis every· where goes to the chapter and to the families of the girls.

Winogene Redding Resigns After twenty years service with Pi Beta Phi

as weaving supervisor. Winogene Redding has resigned to go with the General Education Board to assist in a survey of the handicraft work of the Mountain centers. It is with sincere regret we break these ties, but the many beautiful and worthwhile things Gene has ac· complished while at Arrowcraft will continue to live in the memories of all Pi Phis who were privileged to know her and enjoy her work.

When Gene came to Gatlinburg in 1925 she found a sleepy little mountain village with electricity only when there was enough water in the river to make it. There were no tele­phones then and a radio was an unheard of thing. In the twenty years since she came to Arrowcraft as the "weave boss" she has seen Gatlinburg progress from an isolated mountain community to a modern incorporated town. Now it boasts of 1600 population, four very up.to.date modern hotels, a library, Post Office, telephone exchange, four churches and a four lane highway with sidewalks.

In 1926 Arrowcraft was born and Gene has put much effort, enthusiasm and interest into making it the thriving business Pi Beta Phi enjoys at the present time. She has been reo sponsible for the many beautiful woven articles which Pi Phis all over the country prize. Arrow· craft started with six weavers and as the busi­ness grew, more and more women were employed until we had, at one time last year, 123 weavers working for Arrowcraft. Gene brought something more than just the economic aspect of weaving into the lives of these moun· tain women. The weavers 6rst met in small informal gatherings. and out of these there. the Weaver's Guild developed. This organiza. tion taught them the lessons of cooperation and as a result they have planned and enjoyed working on many projects together. This social outlet has been a broadening influence in their everyday mode of life. They have been exposed to University Extension lectures. preachers, artists, and whoever else could bring them a message to help them educationally.

Gene not only passessed the technical knowl· edge of weaving but has helped the adults in

the community to raise the artistic '1uality of their finished materials. Her ability in working with people gradually gained the confidence and friendship of these reticent. retiring moun· taineers. It has taken constant supervision and much patience to arrive at and maintain the standard of work which we have achieved.

Gene has been a trusted and understanding friend of the mountain women and the impres­sion she has left on their lives is valuable to them and to Pi Beta Phi.

Meta Schattschneider With Gene's accomplishments and service

in mind, the committee realized full well what a difficult job was ahead to find someone to fill her place. The person must be a master

work. She must possess patience and kindliness and be able to understand the mountain people and gain their confidence and friendship. She must have a knowledge of production.

It was the opinion of the committee that Miss Meta Scbattscbneider would meet these requirements. She was elected in the late sum· mer and agreed to assume her responsibilities at Gatlinburg in October. The committee now realizes its good fortune in this selection of a weaving supervisor, for Miss Meta immediately made a place for herself at the school and in the community.

From early childhood her father taught her to use her hands to make lovely things and to seek the beauty in things about her. Due to that early training and a natural talent, she has an unusual gift in creativity and ingenuity. She has a fine sense of design and an innate feeling for color and is capable of expressing her ideas in a variety of interesting and beauti· f ul ways. She possesses an inquiring mind and is continually striving to improve her work. Miss Meta is one of few who has the right combina· tion of skill in crafts, sensitivity to art values, and an interest in human beings. Along with

her many accomplishments in the field of art, she is an able pianist and violinist.

Miss Schattschneider comes to her work at the Settlement School with an excellent back­ground in her educational training and expe­rience.

Following her graduation at the DeForest High School at DeForest, Wisconsin, she earned her diploma at the Whitewater State Teachers' College in Wisconsin, and a second diploma from the Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, New York. Miss Schattschneider continued her education at Teachers College .t Columbia University and earned the B.S. degree in 1933. She then entered upon her graduate study at the University of Wisconsin and at Teachers College of Columbia University and was awarded her Master's degree from Columbia in 1943,

Miss Schattschneider has had wide experi­ence in her teaching which was started in the grade schools in Wisconsin where she handled the first live grades. For live years she taught art and supervised art work in grades one to twelve in the school systems of Wyoming. Del.­ware, From 1938 to 1945, she continued her

THE MAllCH ARROW 287

teaching of art and supervisory work in the schools of Gaymont, Delaware.

During the summers of 1942 and 1944, Miss Meta was on the staff of the Oneonta State Teachers' College of Cragsmoor, New York, where she offered work in weaving and stitch· ery, In 1944, she was in charge of a similar crafts program for the Woodstock Guild of Craftsmen at Woodstock, New York.

This variety of experience brings Miss Schattschneider to her present position with an unusual preparation for the many and varied duties at the Settlement School

School Activities This last fall has heen an interesting and

eventful one at the school. Ben Fleming reports the school had the best start of any year since Peart Harbor, with three hundred enrolled in the t!lementary School and one hundred in the High School. The P.T.A. hot lunch program is proving a success for the second consecutive year, with 220 youngsters fed each day. A new storage type electric refrigerator has been pur· chased for the lunch room. The ladies maae a contribution of "0.00 to a ditto machine for the use of the Elementary School teachers.

The new physical education teacher, Don Spargo, is contributing 'much to the school and community. Under his direction a program of basketball for boys, girts, and the community has been in full swing. The county allowed the use of the school bus to transport the teams to nearby places.

The merchants in town were asked to pro­vide jackets for the Basketball tearn. These have the name of the firm on the back and while they are expensive, the ladies reported that no one approached had refused to cooperate in the project. An open letter to the merchants of Gatlinburg states:

"00 behalf of the committee, the athletic director and the students wish to thank the merchants of GatJinbW',g who so graciousl, respondN to our re­quest to sponSOr wanD-Up ;adcets for the basket ball team. The jackets are most attractive and we know OUf merchants will take • personal pride in the students curyin,g his name-and the students and players equally honored in wearing them. We know the team will do their best in competition.

We are aJso vel}' grateful to the following for their contributions to our athletic funds. The Lions Oub. the American Legion. Mr. Emmert. Mr. Medlin and Mrs. Isabelle Cron."

Mrs. P. Lang. Chairman Mrs. R. CreswelJ Mrs. J. Donohoe.

On November 20 in a high school assembly, twenty·two girls received Home Nursing pins.

They had satisfactorily completed the specified course offered by the American Red Cross under the teaching direction of the Home Economics Instructor, Miss Sue Landrum, and the School Nurse, Mrs. Marjorie Chalmers. The girls were proud and delighted to have these pins pre· sented to them.

A student Council has been organized in the High School with the following statement of rules and purposes :

"Student Council Presents: Members of the Student Council of Pi Beta Phi High School present the following laws which were com· piled by the council with the knowledge and support of the faculty to the students of Pi Beta Phi High School.

These are the laws we wish to be governed by in order that we may attain better school cooperation, more school loyalty, and a better school in which to work and play:

1. We will respect each other and our teachers at aU times, especially during school hours.

2. No student sball leave the school ground during school hours without permission.

3. No student sball smoke on school prop· erty.

4. No student shall use violent language on school property.

,. No student shall borrow books, pencils, combs, or anything from another student with· out permission from that student.

6. Any sudent who has to report to deten· tion hall three times shaIl come before Student Council.

7. No girl shall wear slacks to school with certain exceptions designated by that student's teacher.

8. No student shall throw paper on the school campus or in the building. Waste paper baskets are for that purpose.

9. No person shalt chew gum during school hours. As deemed necessary, other laws will be set up by the council with the help of the faculty. Any student suggestions will be appreciated."

Holidays A Gala Time Miss Dyer's letter about the Christmas festiv·

ities at the School makes one yearn to be there to see the many interesting and lovely things that are accomplished. She writes:

"Arrowcraft Shop looked so nice this holi· day season. The girls decorated the windows with greens and candles and Miss Meta made &

child, and some sbeep that they put in one of the windows leading into the court. With a light behind it, it has shown from the street and been very pretty. They had a wreath with a red bow on the door into the court and a little tree with lovely ornaments that Miss Meta made was in front of the fireplace. She took little boxes and painted them with designs.

"It is always a scramble to get enough pres­ents for the children in the first five grades. The Alumnae Clubs send gifts, this year there were 237. The teachers came over here and we sorted them out and wrapped the ones that needed it. Some came wrapped and labeled as to age and sex. These gifts were given out at room parties. The teachers got candy and the

room mothers made cookies for refreshments. They all get such a thrill out of their presents that it is worth the work to $et them.

"I did not have enough gIfts, so spent five dollars that a Pi Phi daughter sent me for thirteen boxes of marbles, four books, and ten crayolas and ten coloring books. At the big program on Thursday morning we gave an orange to each student and teacher and also to the little pre·school children who came to the program.

"I wish you could have been here to see our program. Our curtains with the cyclorama just make any program nicer. Patsy King, child of a cook we had last year, appeared between curtains, dressed in one of the choir cottas and

THE MARCH ARROW 289

holding a book that Miss Mcia made (or them. 'Christmas Story' in red was 00 the cov«. Patsy would read and then the curtains would part and there would be an appropriate tableau on the stage while the children (rom different grades sang appropriate carols and Quistmas songs. The stage was simply trimmed but the scenes were effective. The craft boys made a pretty manger and Marjorie's Chase doll was the baby Jesus. Miss Lapp and Miss Grove had made lovely angel wings and halos for two lovely girls. The shepherds and the wise men were all there. It really was sweet!"

"Miss Petrie, our Arts and Crafts teacher writes of the Christmas celebration "Our school Christmas the best I have ever known it to be. Mrs. Armstrong, in spite of a bad cold, gave an excellent program.

"My effort for the season turned out better than I dared hope. I explained a creche to the 4th, ~th and 6th grades, gave each child his forti piece of clay and asked him to model a figure to be used in a creme of our own : then I selected the best and fired them in our new kiln. The ligures were crude and rough but there was the feel of what each was de­signed to be and the result of the whole thing when arranged on our hall table was very sweet and brought comments from many cal~ lers."

How line for the children to be taught to create for themselves! At our school we are giving the youngsters a complete and broaden­ing education. exposing them to experiences they will carry with them into later life.

Pi Beta Phi Loses a Friend Gatlinburg and the Pi Beta Phi School suf­

fered a great loss when a.arley Ogle passed awa~ last .I?ecember 10, 194'. Mr. Ogle was a l~ding CItIzen of Gatlinburg and a devoted fnend of our school. The entire community mourns his death.

An excerpt from Agnes Spring's artide on our Settlement School teUs us of the interest the Ogle family has had in the School these many years:

"Every visit~c to Gatlinburg takes a ramble through ~ley Ogles s store--a many·roomed building in W,hlcb you can find everything from a hair pin to • kitchen range and I T.booc steak. It was ChaIley who when a boy, rounded up all of the firecrackers U; the BUIA: and set them off all at once when it was I~ed that "them: wimmin' (our Pi Phis), were go~g to stay 8?d run ~c school in Gatlinburg.

A1thou.gh PI Beta Ph, entered the mountains with the avowed intention of staying and of establishing •. ~rmlnent sch~l\ the local people were slow in gIVIng the p.romlse<l cooperation. They had bad no experience ,with purely altruistic projects and many wCre skeptical about the religious affiliations of the Pi Phis.

"When . the matter of providing land and a perma­nent locatJon for the Scbool draAAed 00 and on with DothinA being accomplished. Mrs. Helmick. the chair­man of the Settlement School Committee issued an ultimatum. Sbe said that it w., custom,q in most places for the business men to support movements ~uch ~ ours, and that the people must do their part m buyltlA: land and thus as5\llinA us that they wanted oue school. If tiler did not do so b, a certain houe the School would be moved elsewhere

'The story of how Andy Huif was ~eot for .t his lumber camp .eight miles away. and of how Mn. Hu.ff ucged hun not to Id: the school 1(0 .wa, is tJu-illi!lJt. And, HuH and 5t.,.e Whal<T h .... ed • subscription list with $2'0 each, and then proceeded to collect the rest of the $1800 that was needed to purchase: the Qgle property. Pi Beta Pbi contributed $600. A hade had bem ordered from Sevierville to come up to take the Committee and the School equip-

ment away. if the mooey for the land purchase was not raised in the allotted time.

"Kate Miller. a member of the School committee who waited on the porch of the teacher's (OUaAe with Mc~. Huff and Mrs. Helmick while the groups of CXClted people gathered around Ogle's store at the foot of the hill. said later: "Just before noon Mr. E. E. Ogle came up to say that he had decided to sell the tract if the money could be raised, that he would rather have the school than his land-provided he could get a fair price for his land. He would give as much as anyone toward the sale price $2'0' His nci,dlbors said that if Eph had wanted • to sell anyone else he could have gotten $2,000 ....

'''l1le last stage of the transaction w., at hand. The hack from Sevierville now arrived and raised the excitement to fever heat. Soon after its arrival. word was sent us that we were wanted at the store. Men were crowding around the outside of the building, on the steps. in the doors and were stand inA inside and sitting on the counters. We found Mr. OAle busy writing a title bond to be held by us till the deed could be made and sworn to. Almost all the money had been subscribed and Mr. Huff and Mr. M aple had agreed to make up any final deficit. When the terms were finally and satisfactorily embodied in this preliminary instrument, it was signed and given to Mrs. Helmick. The wave of relaxation that passed through that assemblage was almost audible.

" 't was th .... that CharI.,. Ogle fired off the fire. crackers '"

The Ogle family's interest in the School has never waned and it is loyalty and friendship such as a.acley Ogle's that has aided and en­couraged us through these thirty-four years at Gatlinburg.

ROSEMARY TAYLOR, Ridin' the Rainbow, Whittlesey House (A division of the McGraw· Hill Book Co.), 271 pp.

Father takes the stage in Rosemary Taylor'S seguel to her "Chicken Every Sunday" best seller and the role that he plays is a lively, entertaining one which provides as well as a colorful characterization, an interesting pano­rama of e3.r1y days in Arizona. When Father was a lad, Arizona, the infant state of the Union, was a territory, but he was no less full of profit.making ideas than it was of opportuni· ties.

In much less than his lifetime he had made money from projects as varied as coffee, street cars, laundries, and real estate, and at one time he realized with an awe comparable to that of a man who had just made two million dollars that he owed $600,000. His debt, in true Father-fashion, was not, however, of long stand­ing, and he was soon back in the enviable posi· tion of making considerable money.

Father, in brief, was always "ridin' the rain­bow" and more oft." than not grabbing the pot of gold at its base, but by no means all of his schemes and activities were for the purpose of increasing his bank account. In fact, SO many of this tireless man's projects involved such organizations as the Phoenix Chamber of Com· merce and other civic groups that Mother was wont to say quite often:

"You run your legs off for other people. If you put as much time on your own busi­ness . .. . "

To which Father would reply : "But this is my business! What's good for

Phoenix is good for me. As the town grows I grow. I'll sell more coffee."

Another of these marital exchanges involved Father's penchant for startjng new businesses. Mother called this "putting his fire under another pot" and freguently, Miss Taylor reo ports, said, accusingly, "You just get your pot to boiling nicely, then you take your coals and put them under another pot:

By this procedure Father, nevertheless, was not only an exceptionally good provider, but also he eventually became the Grand Old Man of that part of the country, and the stories with

which he verbally regaled succeeding genera· tions of Arizonians have made Miss Taylor's book the likable piece of reading matter it is.

Too, the author has the technigue, lacking in Father, for making the written anecdote as delightful as one realizes it must have been when Father enthralled both juvenile and adult audiences in Phoenix.

For sheer enterprise Father is hard to equal, and no sooner has the reader finished marvel· ing at the success of one of his deals than he will begin to laugh over one of the Grand Old Man's escapades, for Father has a sense of humor as large as his generous heart. These lovable, human facets of personality are emphasized with skill by Miss Taylor who has welcomed her readers into the farrUly circle in a thoroughly delightful fashion.

AUTHOR INTEREST: Rosemary Drachman Taylor (Mrs. John Winchombe.Taylor) was a charter member of Arizona Alpha and grad. uated from Stanford University. Of herself she says, she has written "ever since I was a child and have trunks full of rejection slips. Finally struck pay dirt stories of my own family." Currently she is working very hard on a third story, "Floradora on a Pony", which will be about an ex-actress turned cattle queen, and her first success "Chicken Every Sunday", a Broadway hit as well, is to be produced by 20th Century Fox while "Rid in' the Rainbow" may become a musical comedy.

LAURA MEREDITH, Part, Lint, Samuel French, 28 pp.

Both excitement and romance are packed into this one·act play which with its four char· acters and simple set should provide small theatrical groups with ample material for lheir talents. An old·fashioned melodrama, it is the story of a crippled grandmother, who, with the aid of her orphaned granddaughter and the latter's suitor, thwarts a criminal's plan to rob her of her farm. The party line, a source of information as well as a means of communica­tion in many farm areas, plays its part by sup' plying Grandmother, an avid listener-in, wjth the due she needs to unmask the villain,

MARy ALICE JONES, Tell me abollt the Bible, Rand McNally & Co., 92 pp.

What is a largely incomprehensible Book to youngsters of early and pre-school age is given understanding and attraction by 'Tell me about the Bible", which aptly employs everyday child­hood experiences and simple language to do its work. Because it does make application to the problems and activities of the Twentieth Century in a highly intelligent manner, teacb­ing sound lessons without moralizing, it can be read to advantage by adults as well as by children.

The conversational story, intriguingly and attractively illustrated by Pelagie Doane, ex­plains why the Bible is called "God's Book," how it came to be written down and how it teaches "God's plan" for all countries and peoples. In addition to instructing the child reader in the most generally happy f.atterns of behavior, "Tell m: about the Bible' intro­duces him to the various types of literature to be found in that great Bonk-tbe cbronicles, the poetic books, the prophecies, the prov-

erbs, parables, epistles, etc. There is no denominational slant of any sort

and, consequently, the book can be used with freedom by workers in the field of religious education as well as by parents who wish to make the Bible a real and vital part of a child's life.

One has only to read it to know that its author possesses both a thorough knowledge of the subjects about which she writes and an accurate feeling for the c,hild mind for which she writes,

AUTHOR INTEREST: Not only an author of several books, including her latest one's predecessors, "Tell me about God" and "Tell me about Jesus," but also Rand McNally's Children's Book Editor, Mary Alice Jones has a superior background for her career, She took her B.A. at the University of Chattanooga where she was a Pi Phi, her M.A. at Northwestern and her Ph.D . at Yale, and since has been active in many religious education capacities. In· eluded are her directo.rship of Children's Work of the International Council of Religious Edu­cation and membership of the Board of Editors of the International Journal of Religioll! Edll­(a/ion. She writes, '" am finding my new work in making books extremely interesting. , am discovering, incidentally, that there is a great deal to making the books beyond preparing a manuscript."

RANDOM NOTES: Pi Phi writers are using their talents in many phases of the field, all of them interesting. For example, Mrs. Phillip Bash. Indiana E, is writing radio scripts for station WGN. ellic.go, and Marie Bollinger, Ohio E,had a series of feature articles, "South of the Border," on Mexico appearing in the To/~do Slindal Timel this fall.

Three Iowa Gammas are active in journalism, Joyce Curley being assistant home economics editor of the Lol A.ngeles Times, Wilma Phillips Stewart, being foods editor and writer of a daily food column of the Del Moinel R~RiJler, and Phyllis Garberson He8Aen, 00 the Journalism Department staff of Iowa State College, doing free lance articles for ThiJ Wee" magazine. Another ThiJ Wed free lancer is Eugenia Crawford, Arkansas A.

Audrey DeGr:Ul' (Mrs. John T . DeGraff), whose storie, are to be found frequently in the leading women's magazines has a novelette, "Castle With a Moat," written this sum~r and appearing in the Salllrd., E"e"hrg POll. Another serial written by this St. Lau.rence University Jitraduate and member of New York r. appeared recently in the Toronlo SI," W ,,"1, under the name, "Kingdom of Remem­brance" and a short story, ''I'll See You Again," was published by the lAdiel Hom, JOllrntJ. Having a lively family of boys, her writin,R is done chiefly foe pleasure and not as a career, she declares, but she has written and published intermittently since she was eight yean old and contributed to A unt Jean's Page in the BrodlYIf Daily Ea,I •.
