T is customary at this stage of convention procedure for the grand president, who has conducted the convention which has furnished the I policies for the succeeding two years, to give her valedictory. Custom­ arily, it is a learned document that has been very carefully prepared­ personally, I prefer to make mine in the form of a little talk, to tell you how much the convention has meant to me and how outstanding some of the accomplishments of convention have been. I have been much taken with the fact that you have come with such open minds and so great an interest. They have been nine-tenths of the success of the convention. Your spirit has been wonderful, from my point of view. The harmony and cooperation you have shown have made it a joy and an inspiration for all of us. I have never seen so many Kappas who have come with one purpose, and who have really enjoyed convention with their full hearts and souls, and who have wanted to know everybody. The friendships which have been formed between the old and young have been splendid. There has been no bar­ rier between alumnre and actives. We all feel bound closely, for we are all Kappas. You have taken the opportunity of friendship with such an open heart, have profited by new ideas, and everyone has come very close to everyone else at convention. All of this you have most success­ fully accomplished. . I think the impression you have made as Kappas in this section of Canada has been noteworthy. As Mrs. Burt said this morning, you have been a splendid group. To leave such an impression· behind you is something to cherish. Just as you have made an impression here, so the comfort, beauty, and serenity of this place have added a great deal to our gathering. There have been other evidences of beauty-the beauty of the services, the spirituality of the devotionals; and the real sincerity of the spiritual appreciation of them would prove to any skeptic that the generations of today and yesterday are just as responsive as ever before to the beautiful. It is a significant indication of yourselves that you can respond to these things. I think the note that has been struck at this convention of interna­ tional cooperation has definitely widened the horizons of everyone here. You cannot any longer be a narrow person. Our older Kappas have led the way in the feeling of international leadership and even a very young Kappa has brought that feeling to us in an appealing fashion. We have broadened our outlook as far as the campuses are concerned. We cannot now go back and be smug in our own self-sufficiency. A real appeal has been made to you to develop something of a well-ordered 254 THE KEY of Kappa Kappa Gamma

unity within yourselves and make Kappa more of an influence on the campus. Your desire to be more Panhellenic-minded has come forth readily at convention, and all feel that for the good of the fraternity system you must take an interest in the whole picture of fraternity activity, in other groups, and benefit by them. The marked interest in things cultural is a very encouraging sign. You have gone forward steadily along worthwhile and important lines. You have thought through standards to the point where we have something definite to work on. The standards you have set down in words must be lived by every active in your chapter, and every alumna who visits you. When anyone at convention had a chance to perform, she distin­ guished herself, no matter what part she played-whether for superior­ ity of intellect, or cleverness of wit or action, or fine character. All these things have contributed to convention and many, many more. You have displayed hospitality to everyone and everyone has been "in on" every­ thing. As never before, we can say today that our fraternity is working to be the best that it can possibly be, and that we have met the challenge of our heritage in as fine and ideal a way as we could possibly do.

Kappa Kappa Gamma's heartiest con­ gratulations to him, and our best wishes for both Mr. and Mrs. Chapman. We echo the words of one of his co-workers at the club--that "Chappie" is "one of the best."

From the opening with the inter­ national dinner to the last session formally closed by our gracious grand president, when everyone seemed reluc­ tant to leave the convention hall, there was at all times the atmosphere of "fra­ ternity at its best." The underlying notes, in my opinion, of this second Canadian convention were sincerity of purpose, an awareness of personal re­ sponsibility, and a keen realization that our fine inheritance was not to be wasted. Never before in my experience has the· true and broadest sense of sister­ hood been more spontaneously apparent -the urgent entreaty for greater Pan­ hellenism, a more vital interest in all college women, and international co­ operation in the solution of current Emily Caskey Johnson problems, which would bless all man­ kind. It was stimulating to note the re­ minded that a cultivation of the things sponse to the timely plea for a deeper of the spirit yields real and worthwhile understanding of our fellow-beings and dividends in life-humility, serenity, for greater tolerance, made by two grace, and faith. speakers actively engaged in world-wide Today, with thought being given movements, Margaret Taylor, r Z, with more universally to planned leisure and her youthful enthusiasm, and Mrs. Al­ the enrichment of life for all, it is ex­ fred Watt, K A ®, with her mature vi­ pected that the fraternity emphasize the sion, gleaned from years of service. cultural.

During· her lifetime she watched the beginning of Kappa as a small group to which her daughter belonged at Mon­ mouth college. She saw it quickly spread to near-by schools, saw reaction­ ary college officials stamp it out at its birthplace, and witnessed the fraternity spread over the nation from coast to coast, from Canada to the Gulf. She lived 96 years, but passed away before seeing the Alpha chapter re­ established at Monmouth. This event, one of her dearest wishes, took place 11 years after her death. Elizabeth Fish left Baltimore with her parents at the age of four. Railroads were unheard-of beyond the Alleghenies in 1831, so the family resorted to a com­ mon means of transportation at that time. They traveled the entire distance to New Albany, Indiana, in a covered "A key usually stands for something secret," said Anna Willits' mother to the wagon. four young founders of Kappa Kappa Gam­ Thinking that they had reached the ma; and so the key became the badge of "far west"-and Indiana was the na­ Kappa. tion's frontier a century or more ago­ This photograph of Mrs. Elias Willits, Anna's mother, was taken when she was the family settled in Wayne county, past 90 years of age.

Elizabeth Willits thought awhile and then told her young listeners that she would suggest a key, "for a key usually stands for something secret." The college girls all thought this a splendid idea, and immediately decided to have a key for their emblem. This story of how the key came to be selected as the emblem, because of my great-grandmother's suggestion, has been handed down in our · family for several generations and I know it to be authentic. Mrs. Willits took a keen interest in her daughter's friends and in her activi­ ties, especially in the efforts made by the
