A SABBATH BLESSING · Beneath this fragrant pine where I must resf May I be blest, While overhead the. birds their chorus raise In Sabbath praise ! Into some upper chamber of my heart I'll draw apart, And there in sweet remembrance of His name His peace I'll claim. Daily for me He breaks the living bread And I am fed, My cup of blessing overflows the brim Glad thanks to Him.

But should I ever find my Olivet, Could I forget That there my Master deathless victory won­ 'l'hy will be done ! My times I know are in His hands alway I'll trust today, And let a Sabbath blessing fall on me From fragrant tree. GRACE CoBURN SMITH. 280 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

"KENNEBEC" AND OTHER POEMS BY LOUISE HELEN COBURN

AN IMPRESSION Wandering one day on the wooded banks of a gently flow­ ing stream, I saw the birds dart from limb to limb, or startled fly from the ground to a place of safety in the tree-tops, utter­ ing their faint twitters of joy or fear. Little did I heed these winged songsters till, lo, a note of limpid sweetness fell upon my ear. The note swelled into a song which thrilled my heart. It made me forget my care and rejoice with the thru~h. I knew then that life was worth living, and that God made the world and it was good. Such a feeling comes to one when one finds among the walks of life a singer who sees the beauty in all around us, who feels the heart-throbs of life, and who catches a vision of the truth of things as they really are. The impression is even stronger when the song comes from the heart of a friend, revealing depths of thought and feeling that before had been hidden in the soul of the singer. Then our hearts go out in gladness which our dumb lips are unable to express. Such was the impression that Louise Helen Coburn's poems made upon her friends. You, who know that the author was in her college days one of the Founders of Sigma Kappa, are prepared to expect something of merit and you will not be disappointed. Sister Coburn has never posed as a poet, but from the richness of her life has given us these poems as the natural flowering of native genius combined with truest culture. 'fhe poems all are lyrical, expressing the writer's thoughts and feelings concerning the things that most vitally interest her. She does not essay merely to please the fancy by rhyme and rhythm, but with perfect harmony she expresses in simple verse the sentiments awakened in her own soul. There is no striving after effectS', nor pursuit of phantom dreams, . but a simple interpretation of life and nature as they appeal to the poet. The first note that Sister Coburn strikes is one of loyalty to her native state. In fact, the first poem and the one from "KENNEBEC" AND OTHER POEMS 28~ which the volume takes its title is "Kennebec," a charming tribute to that beautiful river of central Maine, the banks of which were familiar to her childhood feet, and later in college days inspired her dreams, and ever call her back to her ances­ tral home. This loyalty reaches its climax in "A Song to Maine'' in which is voiced the feeling of all in that ''sunrise outpost of the land.''

The Pine-tree State-may she lead the way Through twilight shades to a brighter day l With God as guide, whate 'er betide, Maine leads-may she lead alway! Fair are the rivers and rills of Maine, Kind are the woods and the hills of Maine­ So we'll sing as long as we b1·eathe our song To the dear old State of Maine.

As one reads these poems, one sees in almost every one the author's love of nature and appreciation of natural beauty wherever she finds it. She shows her familiarity with all the wild flowers, even the rare Calypso of which she says,

None but eyes. of eager lover Can her hiding-place discover.

The birds are no less her friends. Her spirit seems to be in tune to their every song. Likewise, woods, mountains, and sea, all make their appeal to her and have a message for her listening ear. What could be more delicate than "Afterglow on the Jungfrau," a little poem of four lines ~ The sun, whose going left but now A" shadow on his sweetheart's brow, Relenting, back a love-kiss throws, And straight the lily maid turns rose. In all her poems Miss Coburn shows her artistic sense. Harmony, proportion, and appreciation of color are always ~videilt . . To her Nature is the master artist, fo.r, as she says in one of her poems, Nature knew color before artists did, The key of her palette stays a mystery hid. 282 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

Although the author is not a mother, she has the true mother heart of womankind, as she shows in the exquisite little poems, ''Life Calls to Life'' and ''Baby Fingers.'' The author most truly reveals herself in her ethical poems. Here we see her nobility of soul and her breadth of vision. The finest . and most comprehensive expression of her philoso­ phy of life is found in "Values" which expresses the superi­ ority of the ideal over the real. Here she says, Greater than God's wqrld is his thought That is its heart. Fairest his word Of all his works that made them fair, Its echoes in their beauty caught. That word primordial darkness heard, And light out of the darkness drew, And order out of chaos grew- That name the Son of God hath deigned to wear. One of the most beautiful as well as most inspiring of the poems is ''Hope.'' The similes in this poem remind one of Shelley's "Skylark, " as the author compares the heart to "a plant frost-bound," "a grub in the earth," and "a bird wind-driven.'' Then follows the beautiful refrain, To my heart sings hope­ Aftel' storm comes calm, After the wound the balm, After the strife the palm. Miss Coburn is always optimistic, and well expresses her view of life in "The Optimist," one of the gems of the collec­ tion. ''God's Good,'' I said, ''spoke at crl'ation 's morn, Was a red rosebud laid on Earth's young breast, Which the long day will, spite of worm and thorn, Uncurl to Better, open wid e to Best." The breadth of the writer's sympathies and her interest in the world problems are seen in the poems suggested by the present great-war. As she says in the "New Vision," Nations that walk in flam e Shall a new vision know; Out of tl1e pit the same SOME ALPHA AUTHORS 283

~ Never their souls shall go, But in the valley of the shadow find That Father's hand they lost when they were blind. Perhaps the most profound impression which these poems produce is made by the expression of a deeply i·eligious spirit which is at one with God, recognizing in Him the Supreme Ruler of the universe in wh9m one may· have perfect faith. RosE ADELLE GILPATRICK, Alpha. [Reprinted from TRIA NG LE, March, 1917.] A A A SOME ALPHA AUTHORS Portsmouth, N.H. llfy dear Siste1· Wigm01·e: In respo!1se to your letter of last April, I have tried des­ perately to get together some material of interest for the Liter­ ary number' of the TRIANGLE. But I never realized how very ·reluctant some people could be about their work. Not until this very week did I succeed in getting anything very tangible. However, I am enclosing for your approval a letter from Frances Elizabeth Chutter, '94, of Ea.o;;t Northfield, Mass. The Readers to which she refers are truly fin e. They are known as A.1·t R eaders, and contain reproductions of the finest 'pic­ tures, particularly those which would naturally appeal to the child's mind-eye, perhaps I should have said. The text tells about the artist, with an occasional appropriate poem or story. I loved them as a child. Sister Chutter's letter is so spontaneous and so brimming over with interesting information that I hesitate to touch it. Hence I submit it to you in toto. Maud Kingsley, '87, of East Machias, is probably our best known literary light. She is the author of about one hundred ''Outline Studies· in Literature'' and they are. truly invaluable. These cover nearly every classic that any high school or col­ lege would require for reading and contain a wealth of sup­ -plementary material which -enhances interest in any book. They are ideal for the young teacher; (I speak from ·ex- 284 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE perience. Without them I would be lost. I call them my "Guide Posts.") Besides these, she has written "Outline Studies in History,'' a few Latin outlines and has edited a number of classics. Palmer Publishing Co. of Boston publishes her work. Every teachers' convention gives considerable space to them. But I could get little information from her. She is an invalid-lame from a fall. many years ago-and her whole life has been wrapped up in literature. A friend characterized her as ''the keenest-minded woman'' she ever met. I am enclosing her letter to me. I did discover a number of talented Alphas. Grace lVI. Cummings, '92, has been reported for literary ability. She started in with poems at college. Nellie Bakeman Donovan, '92, and Annie Pepper Varney, '97, are cited for excellence in lecture work. Alice Sawtelle Randall, '88, has written several charming little books of verse, many of which would be well reprinted. Alice Cole Kleene, '98, has written a number of papers -one particular one, ''Women and the War,'' ha~ been called to my attention. She is also a poet. 1\iy classmate, Grace Foster, '21, shows considerable promise in her little poems, many of which have been printed in the TRIANGLE. Florence Dunn, '96, has a book of poems, also. Mrs. Carver's work, and that of Louise H. Coburn and of Rose Adelle Gilpatrick has already been presented to us. And our Grace Coburn Smith's work is always enthusiastically received . . I see I am becoming voluminous-! only hope you will find some material. ELIZABETH R. WHIPPLE.

FRANCES ELIZJ\BETH• • • CHUTTER East Northfield, Mass. Dear. Miss Whipple: When your letter came asking for bits of information, I said with considerable violence, ''I'll do no such thing. Frances FRANCES ELIZABl!:TH CfiUTTER 285

Elizabeth cannot be talked about.'' However; towards the close of the day it seemed to me rather unsoldierly not to stand by the ship, so if someone else will do the writing, it will be the same to me and no questions asked. ' I am an English girl, but in the same breath let me add, one who swells up as a balloon at the thought of "our great America," and who raises the Stars and Stripes to the very skies. We drffted hither when I was about twelve inches long, simply because our mother was an enthusiast over e-ducation,· and cultured, literary Boston drew her to its shores as natur­ ally as the sun draws the rain. , School days in Boston are a hazy memory. The only cling­ iug impression is the scared feeling that almost smothered me whenever the Principal of the Roxbury Grammar School even passed by on the street. Our mother's health sent us flying from the city, and again a .center of learning was the choice. Imagine if you can, the mixed-up inside of Boston youngsters going "Down East," and how our conventions were fully confirmed when we be­ held from the elevated railroad our future fellow citizens ·living in their spacious dwellings at the Head-o'-Falls, and we gravely said one to another, ''I told you so.'' The city schools of Waterville did their best for me, and the Institute also. Under Dr. Hanson and Professor Lane, I slipped into college. I say slipped, for I often smile to myself as I think how slippery we did it in those good old days, with never a thought of that monster so soon to pop up, "Entrance Exams.'' -" After college days came two years across the great-waters - and such years when peace and plenty reigned in the hearts Qf men, and over the nations. Truly, truly, I felt my soul expand as I breathed the air of Dickens' land, and Tenny­ son's and Browning's, and heard my own feet running up the steps of the British Museum, the National Gallery, and went to church of a Sabbath morning at Westminster Chapel. ; Two winters gay, pleasure-loving Paris ·made many of its gardens and boulevards as familiar as College A venue. But SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

·perhaps the top and crown of the years was a long. sprmg under Italian skies, from the blue Adriatic to the stilf bluer Mediterranean. Oh, those glorious days in Venice, Flore~ce, and Naples! Then came the time when our train was actually entering ·the station at Rome. I had a feeling the ground would recede as I stepped foot on the Imperial City, or that the seven hills would be reduced to level stretches before I c~uld reach their summits, and I was sure the Vatican would burn ere I could, get inside the Sistine Chapel. My work on the Readet·s began almost as soon as I stepped from the steamer. It came to me, I did not seek it, and if I tell it true, I started out with faltering heart,r but at the same time eager to interest the girls and boys of our land in the great things of life aRd beauty. I have often wished that Professor Roberts might know how much his classroom meant to me, and how with out­ stretched hands I grasped at every word. Even down through the years those early mornings with Goldsmith, Johnson; and Boswell stand out fresh as 3: beautiful sunrise, the glory of the coming day. The fact is I came to his classes empty­ handed, and I snatched hungrily at every crumb dropped. Even this bit of verse lying idly on the board was clasped inside the cover of my Browning book with shorthand speed, and it has been mine forever- ! find earth not grey, but rosy, Heaven not grim, but fair of hue, Do I stoop, I pluck a posy, Do I stand and stare, all's blue. The big idea within my heart was to hand on this same de­ light to others. Now I feel like a two-cent-piece, speaking of the career of the Readers. However, they have been well received and millions are travelling 'rouna the world, but I think the per­ sonal response from Kate Douglas Wiggin, Laura Richards, Frances Hodgdon Burnett, Mr. Riley, and Ernest Seton­ Thompson brought to my fainting heart a joy that beggars all words to describe. MAUD EDNA KINGSLEY 287

Editorial work of one sort or another goes on in my work­ shop-the dearest of all perhaps, is the Northfield Calendar. The original editor went down with the Lusitania, and since then her mantle has not fallen upon me, but I have rejoiced merely to touch the hem of her garment. Other books will follow in time, for as long as breath lasts, I am determined to use "this good right hand" to interest the gi.J.'ls and boys of our America in the pictures that don't move. Now, Miss Whipple, if you can condense these odds and ends _into about ten lines, I'll send you a thousand thanks for the · present and will promise you a glorious reward some time before you die. Very cordially yours, FRANCES ELIZABETH CHUTTER.

MAUD EDNA KINGSLEY East Machias, Maine, - December 6, 1921. My dear Miss Whipple: Your letter gave me great pleasure. I am glad that you are using my outlines and glad that you identified their author as the Maud Kingsley of Sigma Kappa. I have ·been too long out of touch with Colby and our sorority, but I am frantically busy "making hay while the sun shines." Some day_ I shall come back to the fold. Occasionally a copy of the TRiANGLE or news of one sort or another drifts my way and my brain. reels at the contempla­ tion of Sigma Kappa's activities. I say to myself, ''Can this be the society which met in Miss Allen's best front room and conducted initiation ceremonies with the aid of two borrowed sheets and !l bunch of maidenhair "fern!'' There were twelve of us. As to your letter.-Indeed, you do not need my biography for the TRIANGLE. My work has been voluminous and the outlines have travelled far; but my biography would be skimpy in comparison. For twenty-five years I have been lame and 288 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE have rarely gone beyond the confines of my library walls. _¥ ou could make no copy of that. And my picture! Let us draw a veil over the idea! I hope you are enjoying your life in Portsmouth-teaching in the high school, I believe. . . With all good wishes, MAUD EDNA KINGSLEY . .

We are grieved to hear that our gifted sister, Maud Edna Kingsley, died the last of February. So. this is her last message to us, for, indeed, she has gone back ·to the fold where we . shall all know each other some day. · ·· ......

- ON A BUST TO MILTON The morning sun a fleeting glory throws Upon its chaste repose, To shame the sculptor, that he could not shed A halo 'round the head.

Yet did he clothe the marble with a mien Exalted and. serene. Behold the lofty brow, the sightless eyes That looked on Paradise.

Does not some mighty melody unsung, Still tremble on the tongue? But all in vain, the spirit yearns to hear­ It just eludes the ear.

0 jealous Time l Fixed far beyond the range Of all thy chance and change, Art, into this immortal shape, hath wrought The temple of high thought. ALICE CLOE KLEENF., '98 .

. . .· .. ~ FRANCIS MARSHALL WIGMORE 289

FRANCIS MARSHALL WIGMORE About a month ago I was casually asked to write up our worthy Editor, Francis Marshall Wigmore, as our literary Lambda for the TRIANGLE. Now she is decidedly someone about whom all of us should be well informed because she holds

FRANCIS M. WIGMORE AND DAUGHTER a very important position in the organization of Sigma Kappa Sorority. So to be sure that only exact and authentic in­ formation about the lady reached the readers of · our maga­ zine, I asked the best authority I knew for data. Naturally it was none other than Francis herself, and the collection 290 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE of facts which she sent was very meager. The only thrilling fact was ticketed, "Not for publication." But I am going to divulge it. Francis Marshall graduated from Wisconsin University and became a Sigma Kappa at California, where she obtained her master's degree in arts. She showed her literary inclinations by marrying that stalwart newspaper man, Leslie ·warren Wigmore of the editorial staff of the San Fmncisco Ght·onicle, now owner of the 01·land Registe1·, Orland, California, and their life together has been one of helpful, constructive criti­ cism of one another's work. In June of 1915 Sister Gilmore resigned her position as Editor of the TRIANGLE and Sister Wigmore was appointed in her place. She has proved herself to be a worthy successor of those noble women who fostered our TRIANGLE in its early days. Francis has delighted us with many original poems and articles and her literary style is ·pleasing and easy. She is writing a series of child verses and stories in her rare leisure time a}ld we hope it may appear some day to delight the inti­ mate circle of youngsters who clamor for stories by ''Aunt Francis,'' and to gain new admirers fro:.:n the larger circle of the reading public. Before her marriage Francis conducted the children's page of the Gali{o1·nia Go-opemtive Journal, and wrote most of the copy herself. At various times Francis has managed the Orland Register during the illness or absence of her husband­ notably while he was at the sea coast recuperating from the fh1.. But she does not credit this as real literary work. She does admit contributing to the Poets' Corner of the Registe1· under a nom de plume and her husband published ever;y. poem submitted without the least suspicion of the real identity of the author. The Wigmores have a little daughter, Francis Leslie, who is now eight years old and is very fond of fairy stories and pets of every kind. Her ambition just at present is to own a pony and gallop about 11ke a wild Indian. To this end she has been trying to persuade her parents to live on a ranch­ for the sake of having a place for the pony! SOME SISTER GREEK AUTHORS 291

Now this is a poor, weak tale to describe one of Sigma's most gracious and intellectual leaders. Earnestly I besought Francis to write her own "obituary," which I would sign in red ink, but she would not listen to my wise suggestion;· hence this unsatisfactory composition on "Why Our Editor Is a Who's Wh~'' TRUE MATTOON.

SOME SISTER GREEK AUTHORS How interesting it would be to have a complete list of all · Greek authors. Here are just a few that occur to me offhand; of course there are many more. Dorothy Canfield, Kappa Kappa Gamma., has an assured place among literary folk. Her The Brimming Gnp has been styled an antidote for Main Street. While Katherine T. Mul­ lin, of the same sorority, and editor of The Key, began by writing for college papers. Then for some time she did re­ porting for the B1·ooklyn Eagle, and later became editor of the children's department of this paper. Another sorority magazine editor who has a versatile pen is Lindsey Barbee, editor of Gamma Phi Beta's Crescent. Miss Barbee has written songs and plays, notably a book of children's plays. The University of Denver calls her the ''official college poet.'' Shirley L. Seifert, who comes from St. Peters, Mo., is a promising young short story writer, claimed by Pi Beta Phi. Cornelia Stratton Parker is making a name for herself. Her book, An American Idyl, is a beautiful tribute to her dead husband. W01·king With Working Girls is a book telling of her experiences when working in disguise among working girls. A California Greek but of what clan, I forget. Mary Ellen Chase, Alpha Omicron Pi, has ali enviable repu­ tation as a writer of short stories. Lily Munsell Ritchie (pen name Mary Briarly) is the author of the Chicken· Little Books, and a first novel, In His Own Image, appeared not long ago. Kappa Alpha Theta is 292 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE proud to claim her. Genevieve Forbes, also Kappa Alpha Theta, writes special articles for the Chicago Tr·ibwne. Re­ cently she went to Europe to study immigration problems, returning disguised as an Irish immigrant. Her story of her experiences is most interesting. Olive Porter, Alpha Chi Omega, is a journalistic writer, and has written some plays, notably The Kingmaste1·. Martha Foote Crow, Alpha Phi, is known by her anthology of Christ in the PoetTy of Today.

THE POEM CONTEST Not all the chapters responded with a poem for the contest; however, a goodly number were able to do so. Mrs. Grace Coburn Smith writes: "I am glad to report that among the poems submitted for the poetry contest there are some half dozen which seem to possess literary distinction sufficient to warrant their appearing in the Literary number of the TRIANGLE. These are truly successful, and all sent showed good spirit though not literary qualities.'' In your Editor's opinion Pi and Phi tie for first place as shown in the poems published by Dorothy Hoskins Allen and Helen E. Peck. For second place Alpha and Sigma rank together with the poems ''Hiking Song,'' by Marion D. Brown, and "My Song," by Goldie Capers Smith, published in the March TRIANGLE.

COLUMBINE TO HARLEQUIN You came, a very child at twilight, Drowsy-eyed with star dust . .'.. . Pines, a dim moon beyond! Your kisses, light as a butterfly's amber wings Fluttered in that cocoon of dusk and dream And shimmered forth to die upon my -lips! THE FIRST vACATION 293

That wonder laved me only for an hour, Relentless ebbed that tide from my futile hands­ Yet here upon the dawn-flushed sands lie pearls!

Laughing, I fling my silken glove in challenge Across the stern mouth of fate- . The lyric of that hour Sings deathless in my soul as in a shell Chant unforgotten voices of the sea ! DOROTHY HOSKINS ALLEN, Pi .

A A A THE FIRST VACATION It seems the gong will never ring The lecturer's voice is droning low I cannot listen to a thing, Oh will the slow hour never go? Vacation's almost here, I say, And I am going home today.

The gong at last! At once we fill The corridors and stairways too. ''Bye, honey !'' cry glad voices shrill "Good-bye!" "Of course I 'll write to you!" Then taxi men begin to call. We wonder how they '11 take us all.

We're off at last, and wave good-bye To those whose classes are not done, And bags and grips are piled up high Upon 'us, but we think it fun. We reach the. station. ''There's the train!'' A scramble mad. We're off again!

After a three-hours' ride or so I change to take another train. I leave the merry crowd, and though 294 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

I'm· now alone I try in vain To keep my heart that's all a thrill From dancing. But I sit quite still And try to look bored and sedate. Into the dusk we fly along. ''Go faster, train, I cannot wait.'' The wheels keep humming o'er this song, "You're go--ing home! 0-ho! 0-ho! You're go--ing home! we know-we know. ''

And by and by we're slowing down : I press my face against the pane, Lights twinkle in the little town And there's old David with his cane Lifting his lantern way up high As o'er the crossing we pass by.

A groan, a lurch, we've stopped at last I stumble down the steps so high But father sees me, holds me fast. I'm laughing, but I almost cry. He takes my grip, we turn to go ·when someone near me chuckles low.

''And so you're home from college! Vv ell! I Jm glad enough ! You're lookin' gran' I spect you'll have some yarns to tell.'' 'Twas David, the old crossing man. In our town all are friends, you see, I know each one ; they all know me.

And then we walk on, Dad and I ; And lots of folks.seem very glad To see me back, and by and by I feel as if there ·never had Been such a welcome. And just then We reach our house. I'm home again. HIKING SONG 295

And mother's standing in the door. I'm up the porch·steps in a trice; She's never looked so sweet before; I can't begin to tell how nice It is to be with her again, And Dad, and even the old cat Ben.

And supper time is right away. We have the things that I like best, 'Twould never do for me to say How much I eat, nor with what zest. And all the time we 're talking fast­ For I am home again at last.

And when it's time to go to bed I'm still as happy as can be, For after all is done and said Home is the dearest -place to me. College of course I love-but ·then It's heaven to be home again. HELEN E. P ECK, Phi. A A A HIKING SONG Oh let us up ; and on our way! All blue and golden is the day; T.he clouds with dancing breezes play. The road's before us !

The way leads shadow-flecked ahead; The dust lies warm beneath our tread ; 'rhe maple leaves are flaming red. The road's before us!

Gay asters smile up to the sky; The goldenrod its wealth holds high To share it with the passer-by. The road's before us ! 296 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

The road leads up and up-away; There, far below, a farmhouse gray, A lake, green meadows, hedgerows gay. The road's before us!

And what awaits around the bend~ Adventur e ~ Joy~ Heigh ho-a friend! Or up or down- No end-No end! The world's before us! .. MARION.. .. D. BROWN, Alpha, '24. A PRAYER Oh, make of me an athlete, Lord! lVIy arms are all too frail To raise the torches I would bear. lVIy legs cannot prevail Against long miles that I must go To carry on Thy grace. lVIy heart imd lungs I should have strong To run life's hardest race. Oh, make of me an athlete, Lord! Make me swift-thinking, sure, 'l'o meet the hall and send it back. Grant that I may endure, From running over field and hill. Give me an eye that's true, To aim a large ball at a net And send it cleanly through. Oh, make of me an athlete, Lord! · I want the hand that guides, So that the horse is unafraid, Yet feels a master rides. I would have trust, to make Thy waves A pathway as Thy land, To feel that I may conquer all, If I will hold 'fhy hand. REBECCA TUFTS FARNHAM, Delta, '24. THis YEAR's H oNoR STUDENTS 297

THIS YEAR'S HONOR STUDENTS DELTA

E D I T H CROSBY, Delta L YDIA BISBEE, Delta Delta proudly announces that three of this year's seniors were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. They are Mildred Adams of Beverly, Mass., Lydia Bisbee of Moretown, Vt., and Edith Crosby of West Medford. Boston University graduated a senior class of unusually high average this year. The student whose marks ranked lowest of the sixteen elected to Phi Beta Kappa had an average twice that necessary for election. We are especially gratified by the fact that our three hon­ ored seniors were by no means grinds. All have been promi­ nent in class activities. Mildred was senior elector of I. C. S. A. this year and has served on the Gamma Delta cabinet. Edith has taken part in various college dramatics. All three are planning to teach next year. Edith and Lydia are to be together in Norwich Academy, Conn:

sorority is entitled to three representatives, senior Panhellenic delegate, upperclassman having the highest average and the freshman having the highest average. Thjs year our repre­ sentatives were Eunice Crabtree, senior delegate, Maxine Rolle, upperclassman, and Eleanor Mc:Murchy, freshman.· Maxine had the honor of going in her freshman year as well, so you see the rest of us will have to work mighty hard to give Maxine competition. Besides having the highest average in the chapter she is also vice-president of her class, society editor of the Cherry 1'1·ee, glee club member, and treasurer of the Y. W. C. A. Eleanor is to be congratulated also, for it was an honor to represent the freshmen, as there was only a slight difference in 'her average and two of the others. Panhellenic also offers a scholarship cup to the sorority having the highest average. As yet it has not been awarded, but we are all very anxious to keep it with. Sigma Kappa for another year. ETA There is no chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at Illinois Wesleyan University, but we Sigmas are working hard to make our scholarship the highest on the campus. MABEL NIEDERMEYER, '24.

THETA Theta Chapter has · had no honor students this year and no Phi Beta Kappas. One of the outstanding girls is Anne 'Villiams, who is local chairman of Sigma Kappa's next con­ vention. In addition to minor committee positions, Anne is president of local Panhellenic, president of the senior women, vice-president of the senior class and president of Illiola Literary society. Ther~ are few giris on the campus who rival her record or her capacity for work. .

SIGMA

HELEN MciNTOSH This really should be a tribute to Helen in appreciation for the enthusiasm and loyalty she has shown for Sigma Kappa. When we look backward over the enormous amount of work she has accomplished in four years and then look forward to the years when she will not be an active, we are overcome. Helen has always taken part in all school activities, espe­ cially in athletics. After faithful work on the basketball team, she was chosen manager of gfrls' basketball in 1921. It is 300 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE hardly necessary to say that the girls have had a most suc­ cessful 1921-22 season. When the Woman's Athletic Asso­ ciation was organized in the Fall of 1921, Helen was made secretary of the organization. From a mere "cub reporter" on the Campus, our weekly, she has risen to the heights and is now one of the sub-editors. She is also vice-president of the Press Club. ' ' Trois Singes'' is an inter­ sorority honorary society for which three representative girls from each sorority are chosen each year. Helen has been an active member of this order, also. Her crowning triumph came, HELEN MciNTOSH. Sigma however, when she was elected to Alpha Theta Phi, local honorary scholarship society, which intends to petition Phi Beta Kappa. But that is not all; she tied for the highest average. The fact that Helen was elected to Alpha Theta Phi is all the more interesting when we know that her mother was a Pih Beta Kappa at Carleton College in Minnesota. Her father, Dr. J. S. Mcintosh, is now head of the Latin department in Southern Methodist University. She is student assistant in biology;

TAU During two years at Indiana University Anita Swearinger, or "Dinky," as we call her, has done a great many things. As president of Sigma Delta Phi, honorary dramatic sorority, she has made a newly established organization something really important on the campus. She ha:s served on W. S. G. A. committees, been assistant women's editor on the Indiana Daily Student and has made a very fine scholarship record. THIS YEAR'S HONOR STUDENTS 301

More than a dozen plays and entertainments have been under her direct supervision this year alone. As president of the W omen·'s Self-Government Association during the past year Susie Kamp has not found time hanging heavy on her hands. But besides this she has been women's editor of the Indiana Daily St1tdent, associate editor of the

ANITA SWEARINGER, Tau SUSIE KAMP, Tau

A1·butus, the Indiana University annual, chairman of the convocation committee in the Million-Dollar Memorial cam­ paign, and a member of the soliciting squad during the active campaign. Besides this she won her Women's Athletic Asso­ ciation varsity sweater and has been a member of many campus organizations.

UPSILON Phi Beta Kappa has granted no charter to the Oregon Agricultural College, so Upsilon Sigma Kappas content them­ selves by striving for the honor fraternities found in many of the schools. Our five honor students are: Mildred Forest, Omicron Nu, home economics fraternity; Zelia Steele, Omi­ cron Nu, home economics fraternity; Ruth Johnston, Phi Theta Kappa, women's commercial fraternity; Jean Folsom, 302 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

Delta Psi Kappa, women's physical education fraternity; Lois Payne, Zeta Kappa Psi, women's forensic fraternity, and Scribe, local journalistic fraternity.

PHI Helen Louise Tabor, '22, was elected this year to Phi Kappa Phi. She is an ambitious worker and has the distinction of being the only girl ever at Rhlode Island State College who has been excused from all final ex­ aminations. Helen is not a grind, for she can always be seen at all college functions, but les­ sons just seem to come naturally. She plans to take up extension work next year and we are sure she will be successful in what­ ever line she attempts. HELEN LOUISE TABOR, Phi Miriam Cargill, '23, and Caro- line 'rabor, '23, both won freshman and sophomore honors.

CHI Due'to the fact that Phi Beta Kappa elEctions at Ohio State are not made until late in April, Chi is unable to make any report. As to other honorary elections, we have had one. Ruth M. Juve, '22, ex-president of Chi, has been initiated Theta Sigma Phi, honorary women's journalistic sorority. Hilda Davies, '23, has been elected president of the Ohio State chapter. PSI Elections to Phi Beta Kap_pa for this year have not yet been made. We have several honor students in special )lonorary societies now, and hope to be represented in the Phi Beta Kappa elections later on. Gertrude Kehl, '23, was elected to Delta Phi Delta, national honorary sorority for applied arts as a charter member of the THIS YEAR's HoNoR STUDENTS 303

Wisconsin chapter. She is the head art editor for this year's Badger, and the book will contain a great many of her own drawings as well as outstanding evidences of her ability in arranging, planning, and supervising art work. Gertrude is also an assistant instructor in the applied arts course this year, and does a great deal of work in the laboratory. Her unusual artistic ability proves of unlimited help to the chap­ ter in hundreds of ways besides, fo.r Bobs is always ready to help with decorations, place cards, and arrangements.

Frances Landon, '23, is a member of lVIu Alpha, honorary musical sprority. She has always been a prominent worker in this, and has been elected president for the coming year. Frances is the official accompanist for the Girls' Glee Club, and always ·features largely in their concerts both in acc,om­ paniments and solo work. Besides these she is actively engaged in Clef Club, a local musical society. This year she is doing work in the Wisconsin High School besides, and. is conse­ quently listed among the assistant instructors of the depart­ ment. As an accompanist she is in great demand, and frequentlyappears in stud,ent and faculty recitals. 304 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

Charlotte Belscamper, '23, is also a member of Mu Alpha, honorary musical sorority. She entered this university this fall as a junior from Grinnell College, and has already been elected to Women's Glee Club and Clef Club in addition to Mu Alpha, which is the highest honor that the Music School gives. She has unusual musical ability on the piano, as well as a charming voice. While at Grinnell she was actively en­ gaged in musical work, as well as other campus work. Mary Mould, '22, is a member of Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary sorority for women journalists. Entering this uni­ versity after two years at Grinnell College, she rapidly made herself known in the Journalism School by her marked ability. She was offered the position of publicity editor of the Badge1·, and she has done work on the local newspapers as well as on the Cardinal, the university's daily publication. Last summer she worked on the staff of a Sioux City paper in the capacity of a special feature writer; previous summers she has also been connected with the Sioux City papers in various ways.

Leave it to Emily to carry off most of the honors for Sigma Kappa. "My name is Marion Shanley." So she told us our fresh­ man year and ever since that name has been near the top of the honor roll. Now "Shan" is a junior, a worthy one who helps put Sigma where she belongs with her ideal of scholar­ ship. "Where, oh where" is our Kitty? On the honor roll; where do you suppose? Katherine Whittlesey is another of our fu­ ture Phi Beta Kappas. How does she do it? vVe've noticed her studying while she gets her shoes shined. She is not a dig, though; she's one of our convention delegates.

MESSAGE FROM OUR GRAND PRESIDENT · D€ar Sigma Siste1·s : · I wish I might give you a little of the pleasure I have had this year in visiting so many of our chapters. Such fine spirit, loyal co-operation and eager response, I found in every chapter! You cannot imagine a more heart-warmiiig experi­ ence. The bare outline of the trips can give you no idea of the sisters, though to me it calls up many pictures. However; I cannot give you a detailed account of the visits for lack of space. It would take a special number of the TRIANGLE to hold an article doing justice to our girls. · In the fail .(1921), as you know, the Grand Council met in Bloomington,' Ill., and we all had the opportunity of seeing our Eta and Theta sisters. From Theta I went on to Tau, then to Chi, and from Chi to Alpha Beta for their fall initia­ tion. A little call on Delta and Omicron on my way through Boston completed -the fall schedule. 308 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

In January I spent a week at Colby, being there for Alpha's initiation. Then in March I completed my round with Alpha Zeta, Epsilon, Zeta and Rho. It is always a pleasure to meet the chapters but especially at initiation time. I suppose most people think first of the President of the United States when the magic word Washington is spoken, but it means to my mind Sister Grace Coburn Smith and her family at 2137 Bancroft Place. It was there that I spent a week while visiting Zeta and it was through Sister Smith that I made two calls of special interest to me and other Sigmas. Mrs. Manette B. Paul is better known to Sigmas as Paul's Parliamentar·y Law. I found her delightful and much inter­ ested to know of the good use to which we put her handbook. Then I sp~nt a privileged hour with one of our Founders, Mrs. Frances Mann Hall. Our talk ranged from early days at Colby and its present-day needs, to Cornell and the Univer­ sity of Minnesota. (Mrs. Hall has taken advanced work at Cornell and the University of Minnesota.) She expressed her interest in our work with the Sea Coast Mission. Her hope is that Sigma will never lose sight of the altruistic !!ide which was in the minds of the Founders-the thought was always for those girls who were to follow them. The Grand Council has been endeavoring to instil the idea of good campus citizenship into our chapters. The successful carrying out of this idea hinges on three points-first, high scholarship; second, co-operation with college authorities; third, good Panhellenic spirit. I was glad to find most chap­ ters striving hard to develop a well-rounded chapter, accept­ ing and carrying their responsibility to the college and to Sigma. I am sure Mrs. Hall would feel confident that the spirit of altruism had not been lost if she could know the chapters individually. I feel that the true spirit of Sigma ideals is :;t living and growing influence in our chapters. Yours i~ the bond, ETHEL H. WESTON. Madison, Maine, April, 1922. • WILL YOU BE THERE? WHERE?

You may be a care-free college girl Idly glancing through your magazjne, Searching something easy to read. Or you may be a hurried housewife Returning in memory to easy days When there were no babies or vacuum cleaners. Or you may be an active alumna . To whom convention is a twice-told tale.

Over your heart is a triangle, Symbol of hope, happiness, loyalty. With tender cords of memory and friendship It links you to past and beckons to future.

Evanston, Illini, Sigma Kap-rah!

CALL OF THE ILLINI A motto made popular by the present mayor of Chicago, made familiar to all tourist ~ passing through the great city by means of huge posters in prominent places, is ''Chicago calls.'' 'I.: he metropolis on the shores of Lake Michigan has a younger sister on the north, which for its fresh, young beauty might be known as a " flapper city." Evanston also CONVENTION NOTICES 311 calls. But most of all in this early .July-time, Sigma Kappa calls her daughters to convention. The forty-third convention will be known as the Illini con­ vention, naming itself after that tribe of Indians for whom the great central state is famous-the tribe of .'' real men.'' Beginning on the evening of Monday, July 3, when travelers begin to assemble beside the cool lake, from north, south, east and west, heated from their long journeys, until the last twi­ light of the session the assemblage will come more and more . to re3emble in the eyes of those present an old-time council of the Illini. It is the purpose of Theta Chapter, as hostess, to provide a background in Evanston and Chicago which like the well­ groomed woman's gown, will be attractive, modish and com­ fortable, but in such exquisite taste that the witness, while conscious of good taste is still unable to analyze its component parts. Thus if there seems to be an absence of blatant boosting for their state, city and college, they beg that it be attributed not to lack of pride nor to an inferiority complex but rather to their desire to focus the maximum attention upon their convention ideal-progress in Sigma Kappa!

CONVENTION CITY · Evanston, on the shores of Lake Michigan, is twelve miles north of Chicago, forming a delightful residence center for 40,000 people. Handsome mansions with broad lawns sloping down to wide, tree-arched avenues distinguish the city. Cer­ tain sections of the lake front and ' ' the Ridge'' are among the most famously beautiful streets in America. It has three and one-half miles of lake front with sandy beaches. From the moment a traveler leaves his train 1n summer, his interest centers about the lake. From it comes orientation, when you learn that ''east is east and west is west,'' and after that south and north are easy. From the pre-breakfast dip which Evanstonians advocate for every newcomer, until the after-activity communion with the twilight stars along the sandy beach just before going to bed, the lake is the silent companion and friend of every visitor. 312 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

Whether one's favorite sport be golf, boating, tennis, swim­ ming, motoring, yachting, riding or hiking, Evanston is the delight of the sportsman. Evidence that this was one of the first cities to recognize the importance of the play spirit in a community is found in its twenty-four public parks, a muni­ cipal golf course of eighteen holes, and three other courses with beautifully maintained grounds. Evanston is a city with characte.r. With a heart kept young by the thousands of students who throng its streets during winter and summer and a frolicsome spirit caught from its gladsome sons and daughters who know how to play, it is a place where you may hope to burn with inspiration and am­ bition during worktime and learn the true meaning of joy during playtime.

GLIMPSING CHICAGO If convention hostesses received guests from all parts of the country in their beautiful lake-shore city and failed to men­ tion its great neighbor, Chicago, they might be accused of resembling some diabolical ogre who would invite inspection of a beautiful palace and keep his guest forever in the entry­ way. Wishing for each convention visitor the eyes of a seer, the grasp of a magnate of commerce and the vision of a poet, those­ planning the program have arranged an eighty-mile sight­ seeing trip around Chicago, to present in kaleidoscopic fashion that immense city in all of its magnificence and power, to catch for a moment that awareness of giant forces described by the poet, Carl Sandburg, in his ''The Windy City'' : Mention pi·oud things, catalogue them, The jack-knife bridge opening, the ore boats, the wheat barges passing through. Three overland trains arriving the same hour, one from Memphis and the cotton belt, one from Omaha and the corn belt, ·one from Duluth, the lumberjack and the iron range. Mention a carload of shorthorns taken off the valleys of CONVENTION NOTICES 313

Wyoming last week, arriving yesterday, knocked on the head, stripped, quartered, hung in ice boxes today; Mention the melodrama of this humdrum, rhythms of heads, hides, heels, hoofs hung up. Skimming over perfect boulevards the crowd constantly draws little conclusions about Chicago. '' Oh, it has such lovely parks,'' exclaims one-'' Lincoln with the zoo on the North Side; Jackson, Washington and Marquette on the south; Garfield, with its magnificent conservatory, Hum­ boldt, Columbus and Douglas on the west; and Grant on the lake front. And then, the huge forest preserve encircling · the city, preserving beautiful virgin forests and historical landmarks of old French forts and ruined Indian villages. Surely no other city can boast such a vast park system as Chicago.;' Another will say, ''To me Chicago means the theater. I aim to keep up on the shows. It's impossible to know every­ thing about the city, so I just choose the thing I like the best. Francine Larrimore had a long run at the Cort this winter in Nice People, a study of the modern flapper. Frank Bacon in Lightnin' at the Blackstone is the outstanding hit of the season. I have seen The O'B1-ien Gi?'l seven times and if you like the movies you must go to the Chicago, the greatest movie house in the United States.'' The younger generation is heard from as follows : '' 0 h, our set never bothers about the theater. ·we'd rather dance. We like the dinner-dances at the Drake and Edgewater Beach, but the cabarets are much gayer-the Marigold, the Rainbow, Moulin Rouge, College Inn, Terrace Gardens, vVind Blew Inn-we're always hunting for a new one.'' A schoolteacher interrupts: '' Oh, don 't you realize that the really important thing about Chicago is that it is becoming a great literary and art center~ Look at the art institute, the great public library, the Chicago opera association, and the symphony concerts. Imagine spending one's time in cabarets when these feasts await us." 314 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

Others break in with their pet hobbies, the department stores, the ball parks, the municipal pier, the Colisseum, Hull House, and even the stock yards. · Who but the poet Sandburg has ever sensed the city in its entirety~ The wind of a lake sho1·e wakes and wanders. The heave of the shore wind hunches the sand piles The winkers of the morning stars count out cities And forget the numbers.

PERSONAL TO DELEGATES It is too late now to make suggestions regarding the kind of delegate to choose. Some representative from each chapter is already making her summer plans coincide with Convention in Evanston. And if it is her first convention-as in most cases it will be-she is wondering just what is expected of her. She bas packed a handbook in her bag, has safely tucked away her chapter report for reading at convention, and has almost learned Miss Dykeman's letter verbatim. And yet she is appalled.' She may gain vision from this bit from an old, old issue of The Anchora of Delta Gamma: Send the girl who knows best what is good for your chapter. Send the girl who is willing to devote a great deal of time to preparing herself for convention. Send the girl who will not merely ''second the motion'' but will make it and will have a good, clear statement of her reasons for having it passed. Send the girl who can hold her own in both a business nnd social way. Send the girl who will make an impression by her way of doing things. Send the girl who will be so well remembered in after years that she will be sought as an officer. Even better are some suggestions from The Ar·row of Pi Beta Phi from one who has after-convention suggestions: If I were a delegate again : I would suggest that each delegate make a thorough study of previous minutes. . . I would avoid the clique spirit. Be sure and learn all you can about the matters that will be considered at convention. If I were not already very familiar with Roberts' R1tles of 0Tder 1 would make this book a part of my study. CONVENTION NOTICES 315

If there were petitioning chapters present I would make a great effort to be open to conviction, and would not say ''no'' to any question of expansion simply because of ·some prejudice previously formed. I would endeavor to bring back to my chapter as many ideas as I could gather on intensive chapter work. Never forget that you are not only a local but a national. Contact with the leaders of any organization often brings more help and uplift than all else in a convention, so I would open my heart and mind to the personality of the convention. I would try to remember that in me my college was up for inspection: that I must represent her intelligently, d ign itiedly, pleasantly.

REVERBERATIONS OF AUDREY Every convention has its personality-someone who flits here and there, finds .your trunk and suggests a laundress. At the Illini convention that personality will be a slight, red­ haired person whom everyone will know as ''Audrey.'' Through the ballroom, lobby, breakfast room and spacious hallways of the Evanston Hotel during those full days be­ tween July 3 and 13 will constantly ring the cry, "Where's Audrey~'' · Since Theta Chapter chose her as their chairman in the early winter months, Audrey has thought, walked and slept convention. "It really hasn't kept me awake," she hastily explains, "but when I am awake I'm always _thinking of con­ vention.'' A few changes have been made in the program since it was printed in the March TRIANGLE, and a few more may be made, but no matter how much events are shifted, they will all get packed in so that they fit, for the master mind is a teacher of mathematics and she understands figures. National officers and well-known alumnlE ·will greet old friends and meet new ones, and· the Theta Chapter personality, though far removed from its setting at 112 East John, will inflict itself upon you representing, as an onion's skin, the years from Rena Fugard and founding t.o the newest freshman pledge. · 316 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

THE CHALLENGE OF 1921 TO SIGMA KAPPA "What does Sigma Kappa aim to do in the next two years? What does she expect of each individual and o:f each chapter? How many honor students shall be considered the minimum of expectation for each group of Sigmas? What shall we consider the disgrace limit in scholarship averages? Yes, in this twentieth century, when everything is run on business­ like methods, it behooves Sigma Kappa to outline what I choose to call 'our supreme budget,' which, if presented en­ thusiastically yet firmly at convention, would have a tendency to build rapidly and uniformly throughout our ranks. "Has any chapter been doing its very best? I doubt it. Nevertheless, we have progressed, and there is no doubt but that right now is the time when a little extra effort will mul­ tiply results at a most enormous rate. . Sigma Kappa needs this extra effort now in order that she may lead a:ll women 's college fraternities. Are we going to get that chal­ lenge at convention?'' · The above challenge was sent to the TRIANGLE by the Theta correspondent in 1920 and we think it worthy of reprinting. Then let us turn to the more personal, getting-acquainted side of convention. It was well expressed by Marion Hope Boring of Iota two years ago. "We all belong to the big Greek family, but there are the proverbial in-laws and we haven't been reared alike. vVe do seem to have our differences in spite of all the tact and kindly feeling we . may possess. And then-the joy of meeting and knowing mother and sister Sigmas, all having the same point of view in the big things. "If it were not for convention and the TRIANGLE we would very easily revert to a type and become as a local. Convention is broadening and fine. Each chapter has her own splendid characteristics which she shares most gracefully. This is one kind of rubbing elbows. ''It is our birthright to know one another as chapters­ and Convention fulfills this birthright.

The fh·st has been left largely to the home and the .individual; the second has been regarded as the business of the schools and the last, the duty of the church. The result is that f ew have been so fortunate as to receive complete \.raining. It has become evident that this threefold development should proceed systematically and shnultaneously. This schools and colleges ara begin· ning to recognjze. Physical training for th!J purpose of promoting good health rather than athletics has been most neglected. Vice·President Coolidge has said: ' ' Great progress has been made in medical science and ~kill, and relief has been found f or many terrors of disease. But too little atten· tion has been given to full bodily development wJ1ich after all, is a matter of intelligent training." P eople have thought that this most marvelous of all mechanisms, the human body, would run itself, and have assumed no responsibility for keeping it in good order. The war 1·evealed the serious con sequences of this lack of training. This was epecially true of Maine, which in physical examinations ranked among the lowest of the states. F or financial reasons this need has not been met at Colby as it should be. The trustees, however, realizing the hnportance of health work, have established this year a Department of . Physical Education and Hygiene for the Women's Division. A most efficient di1·ecto1·, Mrs. Bertha M. B. Andrews, has been put in charge of the work. She brings to it thorough knowledge of the subject together with practical experie~ce in other colleges and on the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. She has planned for the department in the most scientific manner. There will be required courses in physiology and hygiene. All women are to be CAMPAIGN FOR AN ALU:i:I1N1E ' BUILDING 319 given examina tioris to discover any physical weakness or defects for which corrective exercises and treatment will be given. Through gym­ nastic exercises and play p1·oper · physical development will be secured. By an ingenious system of · credits health habits will be encouraged and cultivated. The one thing needful now is the building which the · alumnre have taken the responsibility of providing. It is the first great p1·oj ect that the women have undertaken and so it is necessary to organize for the purpose. This takes t ime, as Colby · woinen are scattered far and wide and have not kept in close contact with their Alma Mater. Nevertheless, the work is progressing. The Boston and Portland alumnre had organi­ zations for social purposes. These are being aroused to active work. Commit~ ees have beeen appointed and plans are being made. Through the efforts of Mrs. H elen H anscom Hill, '97, chairman of t he Boston Alumnre, a section has been secured for Colby in the All-College Carnival to be held in Horticultural Hall, in December. This is a great oppor­ tunity to raise money and to advertise Colby. It will require tlui com­ bined efforts of the women of Maine as well as Massachusetts to make this display worthy of Colby and the Pine Tree State. Every girl can help to make this a great success ·by securing and conti:ibuting articles for the sale. The alumnre in other sections are organizing to help this g·ood work. The Aroostook women t ook the lead and last summer formed an associa­ tion with Mrs. Annie Richardson Barnes, '94, as president. A group of representative New York alumnre met at the Sherman Square Hotel October 15 and appointed as their chairman Miss H elen F . Lamb, '97, a very energetic business woman. The women of Bangor and Skowhegan are rallying their forces. The Waterville Alumnre are to launch their campaign with a supper, December 16 . . T)le college girls have set an example to the older women. At a mass meeting of all the students held in the Chapel on the afternoon of November 30 the women made pledges to the Alumnre Building Fund amounting to $3,100. If eve1·y Colby woman should contribute as gel).­ erously, the building would be fn a short time a reality. Now some may be asking, "What kind of a building.i~ t his to bef','; The plan is to make adequate provision for the needs not only of the present but of the future. This will' require a suitable gymnasium properly equipped, shower baths and dressing-rooms, classrooms, cor­ rective room, and offi ces. As a swimming pool is regarded as a necessity for the best physical tmining, that is included in the plan. To provide a much needed social center for the women, it is proposed to have an· auditorium' which, to·gether with the gymnasium, will furnish a place for entertainments and social gatherings. The best buildings of the kind in the country have been inspected and the definite plans will be ready soon. 320 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

This building will make it possible for Colby to offer special advan· tages to women. Not only will it provide for the health of Colby women, but it will prepare them to become leaders in physical education. With a summer session at Colby courses can be offered to the teachers in -public schools and Colby can become the center for the teaching of physical education in the state. This is the great task to which we invite all Colby women. ADELLE GILPATRICK, Alpha, '92, Chairman of the Com-rnittee of Promotion.

The following appreciation of Sister Burkett, including a sketch of her life, was given at the memorial services held at the chapter-house: "It is my privilege tonight to read the obituary of our dear Sister Elma Williams Burkett, who was so suddenly taken from our midst on January 21, 1922. NEW YORK PANHELLENIC PLANS CLUBHOUSE 321

'' Elma Williams Burkett was born in Apl'il, 1894, in Columbus, Ohio, which has always been her home. She was a graduate of North High School, class of 1911, and later attended Ohio State University, gradu­ ating with the class of 1915. The following year she taught high school at De Graff, Ohio, with marked success. ''During the same year she was married to Arthur Seward Burkett, IV~O with four children survives her. She leaves also her father, mother, two brothers and two sisters. ''While in college she was one of the group who organized Alpha ·Gamma Theta Sorority, which later becanie our Sigma Kappa. As a leader and worker in the Sorority she was ever devoted to its interests and service; and to her loyalty and financial aid, the success and progress of the sorority has been largely due. She also helped to organize the Central Ohio Alumnre Chapter of Sigma Kappa. ''She will be greatly missed by both the active and alumnre chapters, so may we all strive to show our deepest app1·eciation by being ever as loyal and true to Sigma.'' Thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians was read by the president, and after the memorial prayer the meeting closed by singing Mystic Bond. LUCILLE SELBACH, Secretary. MARY K. HILLYER, President.

NEW YORK CITY PANHELLENIC ASSOCIATION PLANS CLUBHOUSE To the girls in college Panhellenic is apt to mean an associa­ tion which regulates fraternity matters; to a great many of the alumn::e it signifies something that does not have to be thought about to any great extent, but to us who live in and about New York it has taken on a very poignant meaning. This is due to the fact that the Panhellenic Association of the City of New York is working out an idea which is of more or less interest to every fraternity woman in the United States. But first let me tell you something of our organization. The Panhellenic Association of the City of New York was formed about. two years ago for the purpose of furthering interfraternity spirit. At first sixteen of the eighteen national fraternities were represented, now it includes all, with a total membership of 3,000 wome11. The executive work is carried 322 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE on by a Board composed of one delegate from each fraternity organization. · 1'he officers are chosen in the same manner as those of National Panhellenic. Last year the Board of Dele­ gates spent a great deal of time and thought on the organiza­ tion of the association and at a large and successful luncheon, held at the Astor in April presented the result of their work to the members at large. The following fall another general meeting was held in the form of a tea where the interfraternity spirit in New York City was still furthered. At this time the Board of Delegates ·made another dream come true. A silver loving-cup was presented to the Dean of Women of Adelphi College in behalf of the national fraternities there. Each year this cup is to be given to the fraternity winning the highest rank in seholar- ship and if a fraternity holds first place for three years in succession, the cup is theirs to keep.· Adelphi College was chosen, . as the one college of rank in this vicinity where fra­ ternities exist. This is a brief summary of the work of one year and now, as the second year draws to a close the Board of Delegates has presented a more stupendous and more vital project to the association. ';I'his plan-a Panhellenic Clubhouse-was made known at the second annual luncheon held on April 22 at the Hotel Astor, the chairmanship of which was held by Sigma Kappa. Although our New York Alumnre Chapter has not as great a membership as some of the other fraternities, 'we had the largest percentage of any group present. Kappa Alpha Theta, as president of the association, pre­ sided at this gathering. After a delightful luncheon and a -,.pleasant time for chatting and getting acquainted the pro­ gram of the day was in order. ·The first speaker was Mrs. N. L. McCausland, Jr., chairman of National ·Panhellenic, ·who spoke on '' Panhellenic Progress.'' Mrs. McCausland gave· interesting instances of the difference between 1he se­ crecy of former days and the open and friendly spirit which prevails amongst the Greek-letter women of today. Mr. Fran­ cis H. Sisson, past Grand President of Beta Theta Pi, fol- NEw YoRK PANHELLENIC PLANS 'CLUBHOUSE '323 lowed with "The Need for a Panhellenic Clubhouse." Mr. Sisson, from his wealth of experience and knowledge in his association with the college boy coming to this large and somewhat cold city, gave an inspiring talk on the need of furthering the social side of the life of the college girl who comes here to make her livelihood. The tentative plan for the house was then given by Miss Margaret Herdeman, Kappa Kappa Gamma, chairmau of the House Committee. This committee suggested that a house be built for club and dormitory purposes; the dormitory rooms to accommodate between 400 and 500 people. A great many women who do not wish to live there J:lave expressed the wish to use the house as a club. The money is to be raised by selling $150,000.00 worth of stock at $100.00 a share, paying six per cent, and about $200,000.00 worth of bonds of $100.00 and up, paying six per cent, and by a first mortgage of about $550,000.00. The stock to be sold to fraternity members only, and to be as evenly divided as possible among the national fraternities represented. The bonds to be sold to any buyer. After this the president called for an expression of opinion and the association showed by a. unanimous vote that the plan was approved of. The program was brought to a close by Mr. Vincent Roberts of Xi Upsilon, who assured us that this plan for a house, where fraternity women coming to this city could always find a home, could be successfully carrie!l out, and started the work by gaining subscriptions to stock from some of the members present. This is the work of the Panhellenic Association of the City of New York. We hope that in the very near future we will have this home where we can welcome all our sisters whether they come here to study, to work, or to visit. . M.

Avalon, Princeton, N. J., March 6, 1922. My dear Miss Cheney: I congratulate you and your Sigma Kappa Sorority on the nne work which you are doing in connection with the Maine Sea Coast Mission. The aid which you have given to that simple, homely and direct work of good will on earth is timely and of great value. Your friendly visitor among the islands b1·ings practical aid and comfort to the people who live there. But she does more than that. She brings a message of inter­ e~t and sympathy from all the women who belong to your Sorority, and I am sure that the people who dwell on those rocky isles in the midst of the sea are helped and cheered by that message. It is the kind of work that is at once patriotic in its service to America and philanthropic in its broader outlook. I congratulate the Sorority on having undertaken it so gallantly and carried it on so well, and I sincerely hope that you will continue. · With cordial regards, · Faithfully yours, HENRY VAN DYKE.

THE NEW WORLD OF MATINICUS

BY HERBERT K. JoB, of the National Association of Audubon Societies

TWIN LIGHTS, MATINICUS ROCK, MAINE

Doubtless everyone who discovers in a remote locality at­ tractions which have not been known or appreciated by the general public feels-more or less-as Columbus must have felt when he made a certain rather highly-advertised find. I know that I felt this thrill over a quarter of a century ago when I first set foot on Matinicus Island, Maine, and have felt it on each of a number of subsequent visits, including last summer, 1921, for the rival outside world seems not ev~n yet to have put Matinicus on the map! Away back in those days I was exploring some remote woods in the wilds of Massachusetts, when I emerged near a farm­ house, and went to it to enquire about the local bird-life. A young man came to the door and said he had not seen many birds here, but if I wanted to see bi1·ds I would see more in a day than I would see here in a year at Matinicus. Of course I went, and found that ''the half had not been told''! 326 . SIGMA XAPPA TRIANGLE

Matinicus is a small world all by itself, twenty miles or more off from Rockland, Maine. After leaving Rockland on the mail packet, until you return you see nothing but ocean and Matinicus and bi1·ds! Do not for a moment imagine that there is monotony. There is not exactly on·e Matinicus, but a constellation.! The princi}:lal island, to be sure, bears the family name, but strung around it are other isles and islets, like ''cays'' of the tropics, only the palm trees are bold rocks.

HERRING GULLS O N NESTING GRO UND O FF MATINICUS

Matinicus itself is a beautiful island, some two miles long, fertile farms occupying the center, bound together, as it were, by the fringe of ''Christmas-tree'' northern spruce woods. A couple of hundred people, who make their living from sea and farm, have neat comfortable homes-just like other people ashore. Part of the shore-line is bold and rocky, but there are also ·fine sand beaches. You gain access to the island through the portals of a little gem of a land-locked harbor which is well-filled with fishing craft, where are witnessed lively scenes as the boats come and go, enhanced by the great white herring gulls which come in from their nearby rookeries to "trade" al'1d perhaps get the latest news! Anyhow, they OuR NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DEPARTMENT 327 act as though they owned it all. Well-nigh as tame as English sparrows, they sit on the ':Vharves and the roofs of buildings, expectant of the dressing of fish, when they become "Johnnies on the spot"! It is a partnership of man anrl bird, in a way, for they reciprocate by hovering over schools of fish out at sea and showing the fishermen where to cast. Matinicus belongs chiefly to man, with various interesting birds to share it with him, but the encircling islets consider­ ably to the birds. Many of the gulls seen in winter around the docks and ferries of New York and other cities doubtless spend the summer here. Several of the little rocky isles arc given over to considerable ''cities'' of these spect

ARCTIC TERNS, FROM MATINICUS ROCK

In fact I know of no such luxury of bird-life enjoyable in so luxurious a manner as one can get by making headquarters at Matinicus in the comfortable homes, with well-supplied tables and at moderate rates open to summer board, and, from this as a center, making daily excursions among the various birds-where with so little difficulty one can see so many unusual and picturesque sights of bird-land. The human side of Matinicus is also appealing. Two of us, Christian men, out there to see birds, were not blind to this other aspect. The people had few religious '.'luxuries." There was no church, but in the schoolhouse a few Christian souls tried to keep alight the torch of Christ's Gospel. We attended a little service, and spoke. Timidly they asked us if it would be too much for us if they might have a service each night OuR NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DEPARTMENT 329 while we were there! On my next visit the island seemed different, fairly glorified, its summit crowned with a neat church edifice, a community center, with a small public

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, MATINICUS library, and the good man who originally steered me there become an active Christian and made Deacon and Sunday School superintendent! Is it any wonder that one feels a real affection for that little church and community and likes to return there from time to time~ Especially since war times it has been difficult to maintain a gospel ministry in so small and isolated a community. Lat­ terly the Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society has come effect­ ively to the rescue, and has placed there a talented lady worker, Miss Lucy Allen King, a young woman of culture and practical efficiency, who does more things for the spiritual, moral and social welfare of the population than most people would suppose to be possible through one personality-preach­ ing, teaching, organizing, cooking, domestic economy, socie­ ties, sports, not to forget concert piano playing, in fact a 330 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE whole team in herself! Rather different from some concep­ tions of the Ministry? The only trouble is that there are not more such. In this community is seen the baneful effect of a narrow conception of the broad, all-inclusive call of Him who "lifted up will draw all men unto Me.'' Many years ago such teach­ ings and ideals took root that even to the present time the whole community is handicapped and divided by such unfor­ tunate notions of religion that only a pitiful handful are will­ ing to ally themselves definitely as members of this or any other church. It will take tact, patience, and wisdom to teach those well-meaning people and their children the better way, that real religion and membership in the Christian Church fit in with our normal daily human life and interests, and are not a visionary and ecstatic fanaticism. When they see the effect of nonna~ religious training and interest on a commu­ nity, they will regret that they ever waited so long. It is an unusual situation where a church, as here, has practically a clear field for community work, with a good building and equipment. May the Sea Coast Mission prove the means of arousing these people to action and enthusiasm! More people should "discover" Matinicus and visit it in sum­ _mer; especially, we hope, of a class who would take interest in the welfai·e of the people and in this interesting Community­ Church enterprise.

Your Historian has sent to the active and alumnm chapters letters which outline a basis for their ac- · counts which will form the framework of the larger work, but there are many traditions, events, personal anecdotes which have never gone on record officially, and these ·often tell a more interesting rstory than secretary's minutes or bare figures.

SLOGAN FOR CONVENTION To work and plan for Sigma dear, That is the reason we are here!

Your Editor-in-Chief has often urged the great importance of getting together at convention, but on every recurring oc­ casion of a Sigma Kappa convention she has felt this im­ portance with increased persistence. The delegates not only review progress and start new work, but best of all, shake off some of the provincialisms that are prone to cling, and awake to a true vision of what it really means to be a Sigma Kappa-a member of a great big family banded together for service in a spiritual sense that is stronger than a mere blood tie of relationship. Going to convention takes the I out of one and gives ·the tolerant understanding of others' viewpoints. At the Council of the General Federation of Women 's Clubs of Salt Lake City a New England delegate said to one from Virginia: "If we had had the Federation of Women's Clubs one hundred FROM THE EDITOR's EASY CHAIR 333 years ago, there would have been no Civil War. We should have understood each other.'' Then let every one who possibly can go to convention; let us get the vital understanding and the broader vision. * * * vVe are always proud to hear of our new honor students and wish that we might publish all their pictures. This year we have so many that we have deemed it best to give only two cuts to each chapter in this issue, but will try to slip the others in next September. It might be well where a chapter has three or more Phi Beta Kappas to have a group of the honor students as did Alpha Gamma this time. * * * The September TRIANGLE will be the Convention number and we know it will be overflowing with enthusiasm and in­ spiration for we hope to hear from every delegate; besides there will be interesting news of the convention itself. Then the December TRIANGLE will be turned over to the Alumnre for their special number.

BY JOHN BARRETT Late DiTeoto?" of til e Pan-American Union April 20 there will assemble at Baltimore a conference that should interest every American woman and most men. It will be the most significant international gathering of women ever held in the histo1:y of the Americas. Known as the first Pan-American Conference of Women, it will surely mark the beginning of a new epoch in ihe cultural, social and political relations between the women of North and South A'merica. FROM THE EDITOR's E AsY CHAm. 335

It will have a direct bearing on the development of all phases of Pan­ American friendship and co-opel'ation. Secretal'y Hughes, who is declining 99 per cent of the invitations which he receives to delive1· addresses, has made an exception in favor of this conference and has said: '' The effort to assemble representative women of NoTth and South America in a Pan-American Women's Con­ ference is of special interest to all who desire to promote a better under­ standing between the American Tepublics." L ady Astor, who has just anived in the United States, has come by special invitation to attend this conference and deliver an address before it. Mrs. Canie Chapman Catt, the eminent president of the Intemational Woman Suffrage Alliance, and Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attomey general of the United States, are enthusia'stic about its poten­ tialities. Don a Be1·tha Lutz, secTetaTy of the Brazilian National Museum, known to evm·ybody in B1'azil from the Amazon to the Parana and back to the Andes, who might easily pass, from her figure, dress and person­ ality, for a serious college graduate or a gay young flapper, and Senorita Elena Torres, secretal'y of the· Centro F emenista, the leading woman's ­ organization of M'exico, a woman both brilliant and practical, are looking - forward to this conference as marking a new era of Pan-American rela­ tionship and they are not afraid to say so. In all there will be nearly ninety official and ·unofficial women deleg·ates f1·om the twenty Latin-American countries . to this conference.- From New York Tvmes.

Dear Fmncis: I think your idea of turning an issue of the TRIANGLE over to the alumnre an extremely good one. Let the actives send only their chapter lists to Hattie May and help to gather data as to what their individual alumnre are doing. I should think it would be a splendidly broad and interesting number. Its value ought not to be so much to make the actives value the alumnre, as to make the alumnre wake up and appreciate them­ selves. I am leaving the Red Cross next week and starting on a new job as psychiatric worker with the Veterans' Bureau in Philadelphia. I hate the idea of going to the Veterans' Bureau, but I expect to like my work-and the salar,v. The psychiatric part of my work has always interested me the most and I hope to learn a great deal.

She was 338 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE one of my. nearest neighbors and we were together much, our husbands both working in the same office. She has left a little girl, Margaret, two years old, and a baby boy a week old. My small man is thriving at last after some weeks of re­ fusal to _gain the proper weight. He's a joy, for he's a merry, good~natured little lad. Just now I'm organizing Colby women here to help push Colby's new \Yom en's Building. We are few and it's hard to create enthusia:sm for raising money in a University of Maine stronghold like Bangor. FLORENCE CARLL JONES.

BY WAY OF EXPLANATION My dear Sigma Sister: We thought this letter would be of interest as Alpha Delta news as well as of interest to all Sigma Kappas. The Alpha Deltas are lovely southern girls and you note their true hospitality. Bernice C. Reaney is .my sister, associate professor of home economics at the University of Tennessee. I am not telling them I am sending this letter as I felt it would be a happy surprise. Yours in the bond, .. GRACE REANEY DARDEN . (Mrs. Darden is District Counselor for District 8.)

A HAPPY MEETING Knoxville, Tennessee, April 7, 1922. Zlf.y dear Zlf.rs. Darden and Miss R eaney: Writing to two people together is rather a complicated pro­ cess, but sometimes when you want to tell both about exactly the same things, it is almost necessary, so I hope you all won't mind. To begin with, Miss Grene, Dean of Women, had a guest at her table Tuesday night, and during dinner she announced that Rev. Hannah Powell, formerly. a worker in the Maine Sea Coast Mission, now at Sunburst, North Carolina, would speak to the girls after dinner, ·of her work among the mountain people. Annekay Tharp was the only one of the Sigma Kappas in the big dining-room, but of course she came up immediately to tell Mary Swan and me. We knew of Miss Powell, having read of her work in the TRIANGLE, so we met a Sigma Kappa from Alpha Chapter. Miss Powell seemed almost as delighted as we were. She had been at the meeting of the Portland Alumnre Chapter when this chapter was considered but had not known of its establishment. Miss Powell was here attending a convention of mountain workers. Miss Grene 's mother had been one of Miss Powell's intimate friends. Miss Greml had visited in their home in 340 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

Maine. She did not know that Miss Powell was a Sigma Kappa. We invited her to a little tea we were having for the patron­ esses Wednesday afternoon but she was unable to come on account of a committee meeting, however she came to dinner last night and we had all of our girls here. After dinner Miss Powell talked to just the Sigma Kappa girls about the Maine Sea Coast Mission, Alpha Chapter and her "dear friends," Louise Helen Coburn and Myrtice Cheney. She seemed so delighted with our violets on the Hill. Of course she heard of both of you and she said she would like so much to meet you. Miss Powell was certainly an inspiration to us, and I know we all felt that she was an ideal Sigma Kappa, one who does things, and makes the beauty of her personality and life felt all about her. Lovingly in the Bond, VAUGHTY CARHOLL.

FROM OuR EXAMINATION CoMMITTEE 1603 Monroe St., Paducah, Ky., March 3, 1922. My dear Mrs. Wigmore: I have been trying for almost two yea1·s to find among our many papers some original Sigma Kappa material. This examination commit­ tee gets nearer Sigma's pulse' than any other and yet our Sigmas just don't ''originate.'' Just this evening I found among initiate papers two little items-am sending them in-maybe you could use them-perhaps I You are doing a fine work for Sigma-! sure do appreciate the maga­ zine you are making for us to read four times a year. If it could reach a few mo1·e of the girls I went to school with I'd like it twelve times a year! Lovingly in Sigma, MIRAH M. YAKEL. I expect Sigma Kappa to be Sister Love in the sweetest, fullest sense. I expect her to represent all that is true, oig, and fine in the lives of her members; and to stand for high, honest. scholarship. In return, it is my purpose to be loyal to Sigma Kappa; to strive to be all that I expect her to be, that I may be a FROM THE EDITOR's EASY CHAIR 341 true representative of her, and that she may never regret that I am one of her members. J\I(ARIE CHESSER, Alpha Gctmrna.

I expect f_rom my sorority a larger vision of life gained through friendshiJ? and sisterly companionship with girls whom I consider it an honor to be associated with. I expect my Sorority to show me my faults and point out my mistakes in a spirit of kindly criticism. In short, I expect my Sorority to help me to be a nobler woman and a blessing to the genera­ tion in which I live. In return my Sorority may expect many things of me. It may expect me to strive for high scholarship, to be true to the idel:).ls of the Sorority, to be loyal to tpe niembers, to wil­ lingly co-operate in any work that the Sorority may ask me to do, and to guard and regulate my actions so that they shall always reflect credit to Sigma Kappa.

MABEL GERTRUDE MATTOON, Editor

vVe acknowledge with thanks the usual exchanges. The new spring style of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Journal is most striking and handsome. The T1'id ent of Delta Delta Delta reminds us that it is spring too, with its green cover. Alpha Phi Qtta?"te?"ly has a comprehensive article on "Presi­ dents of the N. P. C. Fraternities," about which the writer says, ''The meager data given us by the fraternities does not reveal the personalities of these presidents but in read­ ing between the lines, one is convinced none of these women are candidates for personal glory, but rather, are pledged to fraternity achievement and Panhr.llenic sportsmanship.'' It is perplexing to write about women, few of whom we have seen but we know they are undoubtedly responsible and in­ teresting else they would not be president<> of their fraternities. Fifty per cent of them are married and the eighteen were educated at fifteen different colleges. Syracuse claims two as alumn·&, and three more were students at Northwestern. Kappa Kappa Gamma tells us that its president, Sarah Harris, after January 1, 1922, will be Mrs. Richard Y. Rowe of Jacksonville, Illinois. For six years previous to her elec­ tion as Kappa's leader, in 1920, she served ably as vice-presi­ dent. Since her graduation from Northwestern in 1911, she has been connected with the administration of the School of Speech, and is retiring now after four years of service as Dean of '\T omen in that department. Deltas Gamma's president, Mrs. Gertrude Bradley Wilbur, Northwestern, ex- '01, after teaching several y.ears made an ex­ tensive European trip in 1906. Shortly after she married Mr. 344 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

J. Ralph Wilbur and continued, fortunately, to live in Evans­ ton, as her interest in Delta Gamma, Pa.nhellenism and the University never faltered. Despite a growing family, she has found time also to work in church, settlement, and club move­ ments, and during the war was actively interested in children's war work. Since she became president, in 1919, many Delta Gamma chapters have enjoyed a personal visit from Mrs. Wilbur. Amy Burnham Onken, Northwestern, '08, donned Pi Beta Phi's queenly robe at the 1921 convention, after having given nine years of efficient service as its secretary and much time to inspection and installation of chapters. This petite lady is as dependable in the fraternity as she is in her home town where she carries on many varied responsibilities; from con­ ducting singing down to being secretary of the board which supervises the new Chapin (Illinois) Community High School. Four of the present national presidents were born in Dixie, and Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Mu still dream of the days in 1852 when they were organized l;LS locals at Wesleyan College, Macon, Georgia, and where, previous to 1914, they each ini­ tiated a thousand or more pledges and established traditions which anti-fraternity laws can not erase. In 1921, Mabelle Fuller, Texas, '15, became president of Alpha Delta Pi, after serving as vice-president. During her campus days, she was linked to many college activities and won distinction as student assistant in zoology. Since then, she has been president of the Houston City Panhellenics and is a charter member of the local College Club. She is a natural executive, as is Mrs. Zenobia Wooten Keller, Belmont, '07, the president of Phi Mu. Unfortunately for the Chicago Pan­ hellenic, her husband's business recently required their re­ moval to Los Angeles. Although a concert and church soloist, because of a very intelligent fraternity interest Mrs. KePer has found time to serve Phi Mu in several capacities. Kappa Alpha Theta claims the third southerner as presi­ dent in Bessie Newsom, who was awarded in 1914 a B.A., an M.A., and a Phi Beta Kappa key at Vanderbilt, and later ExcHANGES 3~5 was graduated with the highest honors from the law school of George Washington University. She is now practicing her profession in Oklahoma City. She is affiliated with many professional and civic organizations and is relieved in fra­ ternity administration from much detail by a salaried officer, Miss l.J. Pearle Green, of Ithaca, New York, who has served faithfully for many years as Theta's editor, corresponding secretary and ''right-hand man.'' Kappa Delta, in its northern expansion has had notable presidents in J enn Coltrane, Marion Mullins, and Elizabeth Corbett Gilbert, whose alert successor is Rebecca \V. Smith, Kentucky, '16, who has served her fraternity as treasurer and, now, after acquiring a,n A.M. at Columbia is an associate pro­ fessor of English at Texas Christian University, Fort \Vorth, Texas, where she is a member of the City Panhellenic and the University Women's Club. At college, she was graduated as orie of the ten honor stu­ dents in her class and served in Panhellenic and on the Y. W, C. A. cabinet. She was also prominent in dramatics three years and was connected with every literary staff on the cam­ pus. At present, she finds some time to write along lines of pageantry and education and to give talks, in and around Fort Worth, on literary subjects. She is a native of Paducah, Irvin Cobb'~ birthplace. Gamma Phi Beta has followed Alpha Phi's example·and has centralized her board which, at present, sits in Denver with Lindsey Barbee at its head. This literary lady, who is still Gamma Phi's editor, as she has been for ten years, has written songs, a historical sketch entitled The Sto1·y of Gamma Ph·i Beta. and, annually, her University of Denver chapter pro­ duces a play from her pen, at the city auditorium for some purpose such as athletics, the tubercular colony, campus adorn­ ment, or some other pressing need. With all her fraternity work, Miss Barbee has found time to be president of the Den­ ver University Alumnre, the City Panhellenic, and historian of the Denver D. A. R. She has also written a book of children's plays, and at odd intervals wields her pen on 3:46 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE themes and for causes near her heart. The University of Den­ ver calls her "the official college poet" and, on its fiftieth anniversary, she was the only woman on which it bestowed an honorary degree. Her fraternity owes her much sincere de­ votion. Zeta 'l'au Alpha has the youngest president in Helen Alpha Burkart, who was graduated from the University of Pitts­ burgh in 1917, with high honors. She was head of the group when it was installed as Chi Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha and was prominent on the campus, particularly in winning several fine prizes because of notable work in pageantry, and, now, as an alumna is the only woman recreational director in Pitts­ burgh. In ability and loyalty, she promises to maintain the high standards of her presidential predecessor, Doctor May Agness Hopkins. After serving Alpha Omicron Pi seven years as treasurer and two as registrar, 1\'lrs. Lillian McCausland, Brown '99, in 1919 became its president. She is, also, president of the Rhode Island branch of the American Association of Univer­ sity Women and it is said "her sense of humor was very keen and injected much amusement into the otherwise dry sessions" of the recent National Panhellenic Congress which she served as secretary, prior to assuming the presidency for 1921-23. As its leader Delta Zeta has chosen an executive, Rennie Sebring Smith, Miami, '16, who, after teaching school success­ fully for nine years, has given six years to Y. W. C. A. secr·e­ tarial work and is now the General Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. at Muncie, Indiana. She is well acquainted with her fraternity which she served as secretary, 1916-20. When Gladys Livingston Graff, of the Boston alumnre, took up the presidential responsibilities of Alpha Chi Omega in 1920, 'she was known to the fraternity as chairman of the French Orphan Committee, national alumnre editor of T]te Lyre, province president, and member of the history board. With her husband, Major Graff, she has enjoyed, advan­ tageously, the social life of Washington, D. C., and extensive sojourns in the Orient and in Europe. At home, she has ex- EXCHANGES 347 hibited an active interest in suffrage and current civic move­ ments, as well as a pee rles~? devotion to Alpha Chi Omega. Anna Miller Knote, Wittenberg, '05, after graduate work at Columbia University, taught Latin and Greek in the Mans­ field (Ohio) High School, and then spent three years in social welfare work in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, before her mar­ riage in 1909 to Mr. John M. Knote, Jr. Mrs. Knote has given eleven years of service as a member of the National Council of Alpha Xi Delta, as she was national vice-president for two years, national inspector for. five years, secretary-editor for two years, and is now serving as national president for the second year, so she has had a wider experience in the fraternity than any woman who has ever worked on the Alpha Xi Delta Council. Because of her sterling interest in girls and a keen under­ standing of them in and out of the fraternity, she teaches a large Sunday School class, and is chairman of the Educa­ tional Committee of the Y. W. C. A., besides doing praise­ worthy work in the Mansfield Women's Club, and in civic welfare circles. Mrs. Mary C. Love Collins since receiving her A.B. degree and Phi Beta Kappa key at Dickinson College in 1902, and her M.A. there in 1907, has studied law, receiving her LL.B. from Kentucky State University in 1911 . She also taught in the law department of the university during the war. Outside of considerable social work, her professional duties and poli­ tics, she has given her time to Chi Omega, whose presidency she has held for ten years and has the distinction of being one of the few salaried presidents in the Greek world. But no money can compensate Mrs. Collins for the love, intelligent advice, and personal inspiration she has given her fraternity. She spends much time in the field meeting educators, inspect­ ing chapters, and improving conditions wherever she comes. In the National Panhellenic Congress her legal talents and psychological analysis win her many followers. Mrs. Hortense Imboden Hudson, Baker, '08, whose popu­ larity in Delta Delta Delta is well known, has given twelve 348 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE years Qf service as province supervisor in the Middle West, and again, on the Pacific Coast, as vice-president, and before undertaking the role of president in 1919 she spent three months of each year for five years as a chapter inspector. Her chief delight is piano music, in which she has done graduate work. After six years of married life in New England she and her husband have lived for four years at Greencastle, where Professor Hudson is head of the department of soci­ ology at De Pauw University. . Three of the national presidents come from Alpha chapters. Louise Leonard, Syracuse, '09, has been president of Alpha Gamma De~ta for seven years, and as she is a business woman she is particularly valuable. For ten years she has been secre­ tary of the Syracuse College of Medicine, so. her proximity to students, as well as her fraternity experience has given her a comprehension of the educational movements of today, and a passion for the college girl and her problems. Sigma Kappa was founded at Colby in 1874 but did not establish its Beta Chapter at Boston until thirty years had crowned the Alpha with many honors. Mrs. Ethel Hayward Weston, Colby, '08, president of Sigma Kapp!l, served as chairman of National Panhellenic, 1919-21. Her husband's profession, that of civil engineering, has tl),ken them about, so she has found time to be, respectively, fraternity inspector, ::: ecretary, and vice~president, and in consequence has attended many conventions. Her efficient work is much appreciated by Sigma Kappa as well as by National Panhellenic. Alpha Phi's leading lady, Mrs. Bertha Sawyer I ves, Syra­ cuse, '91, Phi Beta Kappa, is the oldest in years and fraternity experience as she was brought up in Alpha Phi by her older Alpha sister Carrie, aJ;~.d later regaled in fraternity matters by her lively sister Grace, who served as visiting delegate while they lived in their hospitable home in Syracuse, which is now Delta Delta Delta's chapter-house. When Mrs. Ives resided in Chicago fifteen years ago, she acted as vice-president of a Chicago Alpha Phi Board and later chairman of exten­ sion. Upon the family's removal to New York City, ten years ExcHANGES 349 ago, she became vitally interested in politics and for several yea~s has been executive secretary of th~ Women's New York Republican Committee. Her loyalty to Alpha Phi has been constant, and she knows the active girl's point of view, as her daughter Katherine, '22, is also a member of Alpha Chapter. * * Somebody belonging to the ~ A E Fraternity knows a lot about clothes and styles, as the poem "Menswearwocky" proves. 'Twas twilling, and the chamoisettes Did cape and mocha in the tweed; All ecru were the ulsterettes, And the inseams putteed.

''Beware the Gabardine, my son, The faddish "I"Ogues, the Fashion Parks! Beware the toddle bow, and shun The wild Hart Schaffner Marx! ''

He took his Krementz sword in hand, Long time the madras foe he sought; So 1· ested he, in his B. V. D., All Crofut·Knapped in thought.

And, as in knittex thought he stood, The Gabardine, with eyes of fl ame, Crept Stetson through the batwing wood, Velouring as it came.

One, two! One, two! And through and through The Krementz blade went knicker knack! He left it dead, and, with its head, He Kuppenheimered back. "And hast thou slain the Gabardine i Come to my arms, my Lytton boy! 0 A. Starr Best I You 'ra overdressed!'' He Cappered in his joy. 'Twas twilling, and the chamoisettes Did cape and mocha in the tweed; All ecru were the ulsterettes, And the inseams putteed. 350 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

The Alpha Phi Q'ttarterly has a clever page called ''The Dipper." "The Alpha Phi Dipper, the moss-covered Dipper, the sterilized Dipper, we all love so well.'' Adopting the policy of all the other great periodicals, ''The Dipper'' has sent a special representative to the Disarmament Conference. Her state of mind, to date, is reflected in what follows.

THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE Scraps versus Sl::rapped

THE PEACE LOVER Said Japan, " I defend the Pacific, On this point I must be specific; And I fmther maintain, 'Facts accomplished' remain; If not, there 'II be doings terrific. ''

THE NOBLY DISINTERESTED Said the U. S., "Go slowly, my brother, The Pacific we share with each other; And as for dear China, If we undermine her, 'Twill stir up no end of a bother."

THE GRIEVANCE Said China, ''I'm terribly grieved, By promises empty deceived; I'm kept inharmonious By stealings felonious; 'In principle' makes me feel peeved. ''

VIVE L'ARMEE Said the eloquent Monsieur Briand, ''My fighting men cannot disband; Scrap your boats if you must Till they're nothing but rust, But defend with her army my" land.''

A CHOICE I N J 's Said B1·itain, ''I want an appliance To pry off this Japo-Alliance; I've been treated white, So I must be polite. But Jon a than's my best reliance." ExcHANGES 351

THE IMPENDING STORM Said the Conference, '' Oh, let us hurry! Lloyd George will unload s·uch a worry! With all Europe's ills, So like bitter pills, He will put the whole show in a fluny.''

From the same source comes this article, "I Haven't a Thing to Wear,'' which is so sensible and gives such good advice in small doses that I hand it on to you verbatim: When the editor of the Qua1·terly asked me to write a bit about appropriate clothes for college girls, I struck. Why should I pick on the undet·graduatef The question of appropriate dressing is just as definite after college as before and the ex·college girl is apt to let herself run a bit to seed in the interest of more inspiring things while the college girl, I have found, especially in co·educational institutions, is wide-awake where clothes are concerned. This dissertation is not addressed to the girl who can go into a store and order any amount of clothing to be paid for by Father. It is easy, in that case, to always have things matching up and to appear fault)@ssly groomed. No-I'm talking to the girl who has to make her shopping a sort of sporting event and stretch a moderate amount of money over the largest possible area. In the first place, the most important thing in dressing is color. After a number of years of experiment, both with stage costumes and with designing for a factory, I have decided that color sells before anything else. Oftentimes a model which is sent out in the sample line in a poor or unattractive color will not sell at all. We will replace it with the same garment in a· different shade and the orders will come flying in. This merely means that the thing which first strikes the eye is the gen­ eral effect, the color scheme. Now you should make a sort of laboratory of your dressing-table and conduct experiments until you can decide just what colors-or range of colors-suit you best. You may fall into the blue-gray-lavendar group, or into the tan-yellow-orange-brown class. In either event make up your mind and dress in that range. It is amazing what colors will do to eyes, hair and complexions. I have known dull, unattractive-looking women absolutely changed by the proper color scheme. It is usually wise to decide upon your best feature and then dress to accentuate it. Some· times it is the eyes, sometimes the hair. Gray eyes can be made blue by using a touch of blue near the face. Hair that will appear mouse-color if you dress in gray or tan will take on golden tints if you try soft gr,een. A complexion which is splotched and yellow looking under the cruelty. of 352 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE yellow will be mysteriously softened and whitened by rose color, and the proper lining to a hat will work wonders with crowsfeet and wrinkles. You will find that the right color scheme, conscientiously followed, will do wonders in money saving. Your hats, shoes, and gloves will always match and one petticoat will do for several dresses. Say, for instance, that you are a rather striking brunette and fall naturally into the tan·orange·brown class. For the winter wardrobe you need only three pairs of shoes-a pair of brown heavy oxfords for street or class· room, a pair of brown suede or kid pumps for afternoon dress wear, and a pair of evening pumps, in bronze or gold, which ought to last two years. If upon the other hand, you look better in blue or gray you may safely count upon navy blue for the street and purchase black shoes, with gray for afternoon wear. The question of line is next in importance to that of color. Wonders may be done with a dnmpy ~or ungainly figure by the proper use of drapery and a careful regard to cut. Never let style get the upper hand in your dressing. Make the styles serve you. There never was a time when women could pick and choose the most becoming type of thing as they can now, for almost everything is in style from the straight-Tine tailored silhouette for the stout figure to the bouffant models for the tall, slender girl. Last year's things are as much in style as this year's except that skirts will be _longer and a greater preponderance of fullness is in eYi­ dence. But the stout sisters should watch carefully the cut of their dresses, because nothing is worse than a dumpy figure in a tiglit bodice and full skirt. After the question of line comes something which has always inter­ ested me particularly, and that is the matter of dressing to type. If more women would take time to study themselves and decide what their main charactel'istics are, there would be less poor dressing. If you have a slender, oval, daguerreotype face, wind your hair about your forehead or do it in rolls over the ears. Let your dressing faintly suggest eighteen-sixty. If you are a dashing brunette with black hair and eyes, drop a hint now and then of Spanish style-a touch of fringe, a bit of scarlet embroidery, a Spanish comb with the hair done high, and the trick is done. If you have a fair skin and a slender figure, you may safely go in for the full ruffled skirts, the delicate charm of Marie Antoinette. As to appropriateness in dress. It is a difficult subject to handle because every community has its pet fetishes. In Boston the appropriate street wear is vastly different from the thing in Los Angeles. The best udvice I can give is to study the streets of your city, or the campus of your college and see what gives the best and most pleasing effect of EXCHANGES 353

quiet simplicity and becomingness. For simplicity is the keynote of all good dressing-simplicity of line and of color, combined with a sense of the eternal fitness of things. Which, being rendered in plain campus English means that frills and gewg·aws are just about as appropriate on the street as a basiness suit is in a ballroom.

* * * American college traditions must seem rather '' mushroomy'' to ancient institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge and the University of Bologna. They are, nevertheless, dear to our hearts. The following extracts from The Phi Gamma Delt(t may be of general interest: ''Forming in the aggregate a fraternity 1·ich in traditions and senti· ments that are cheJ"ished dearly, the va1·ious chapters of Phi Gamma Delta quite naturally make much of their own peculiar customs. ''Practically every one of the sixty· four chapters in the brotherhood has interesting characteristics handed down from college generation to generation and gathering enhancement with the passing years. ''A survey of the chapters has just been completed by The Phi Ga1n11w. Delta to leam the extent of the peculiar and characteristic customs. Those chapters which responded to the questionnaire revealed some inter· esting data. '' Stanford.-At Lambda Sigma the oldest tradition is the 'Harpy Cry.' Whenever a brother desires to call the others to a feed or spread, he givPs the 'Harpy.' It is sounded in a high treble voice and is some· thing like this: Pee·purrnTJ'IT! the last syllable being trilled. The cry i's · said to have been derived from Greek mythology and is an epithet for I'a pacious OJ' greedy ones. The house at Stanf01·d has two electric bells at the front door. One is the ordinary bell, while the other, which can be rung by a· special key only, is the alumni bell. Upon leaving the chapter, each man is presented with his alumni key .. ''Ohio Wesleyan.-Burning constantly in the reception hall at Fair· banks Lodge, the home of Theta Deuteron, is a memorial candle. This candle is in a copper-lined niche in the wall. It was dedicated 'to the founders of the chapter and the light is never extinguished. "Knox.-During his term of office, the 'E.' at Gamma Deuteron wears a large jeweled badge presented to the chapter by the widow of the· late Brother George P.· Brown, one of the charter members under the second charter. "Denison.-The most coveted possession, perhaps, in the fraternity is to be found in S. S. Chamberlin Lodge at Denison. It is the fireplace from the room of John Templeton McCarty in Fort Armstrong, Jefferson College, around which the Fratemity of Phi Gamma Delta was founded. The fireplace was removed from Canonsburg, Pa., to Granville by Brother William F . Chamberlin on March 1, 1909. 354 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

• 'Colorado U?Wversity.-For every initiate taken into Beta Kappa there is added a link to the chapter chain in the den of the house. The links bear the names and numbers of the men they symbolize and the date of initiation. '' Indiana.-By giving one less dance a year, Zeta secures funds to finance a dinner party for the poor children of Bloomington annually just before the Christmas vacation. "Missouri.-There is a custom at Missouri that is observed re· ligiously. It is a tradition of hospitality. An old clothes man gets as comteous greeting at Chi Mu 's front door as a national officer of the fraternity. ''Wittenberg.-Parents' Day is an annual event at Sigma. Fathers and mothers of the chapter members are complimented with a dinner. The chapter keeps a log boo.k and a scrapbook. "Maine.-Much emphasis is placed upon seniority at Maine. In passing through doors or into rooms seniors go first, juniors next and then sophomores and freshmen. Each year at Omega Mu the freshmen present the house with a gift. Another tradition is dipping of a brother who has made a class or college honor into a tub of cold water. '' Syraouse.-Like many other chapters, Sigma Nu has the custom at Norris Dinners of having the oldest initiate kiss the snout of the pig and youngest initiate the tail. The chapter has kept a scrapbook since 1902. ''-The Delta . Upsilon QuMterly. * * * A SUGGESTION FOR ALUMNA: CHAPTERS Burlington alumnre chapter has this year carried out a plan, suggested by a non-resident member, which is considered worthy of being passed along, We have on our non-resident list several loyal Thetas who maintain their membership in the alumnre chapter, although unable to attend the meetings more than once or twice a year, i{ at all. At every monthly meeting, two members, one of whom has access to a typewriter, volunteer, or are ·appointed, to wTite a newsy account of the meeting, copies of which are mailed to the non-resident members.-Kappa Alpha Theta. * * * With such a problem to solve, we'd really like to know what Hilton did.

My brother married a wonderful D G, My sister is an active Alpha Phi, Now if you were in my shoes, Tell me which one you would choose, 0, tell me, which is my sorority.'' All of which is sung to the tune, I Wond&r How the Old Folks Are at Home.-Beta Theta Pi. • * * The Aglaia of Phi Mu has this analytical discussion of the Nervous Age which, it seems to me, explains lots of things. Do you agree with May Dulaney Bush in her article which was written for the H oUins Magazine and reprinted for her sorority magazine? OUR NERVOUS AGE Often looking at our grandmothers and grandfathers I marvel at their peace and calm. Ill health, sorrow and death have Tepeatedly bruised their hearts, but have availed nothing against their serenity. They are sunounded with the turmoil of OUT generation, yet view it all unruffled. But though they are quiet, they are not inactive. The work that grand­ mothers' hands are doing, and the comfort and inspimtion their lives are giving must sm·ely be one of the fundamental forces of our world. I have often thought, ''I want to live long enough to be one of those dear grandmothers.'' But I am doubtful whether, though I lived to be a hundred, I could ever be one. I belong not only to a younger generation, but to a new one. I do n<;>t think our generation is nervous entirely because it is younger, or theirs peaceful wholly because it is older. There is a differ­ ence in our inner selves. When they were young they did not dance with all their strength and enthusiasm, but quietly and demurely; they did not attract attention by feats of daTing, but by gently dropping a lace handkerchief OT a Tosebud in the path before the chosen one. I wondeT, then, if we shall ever be such gentle grandmothers and grandfathers-we who are now such a frantic, ne1·vous folk~ We are a people of hurry and wony. Whoever we are and whatever our age, we are always busy-too busy. Even the little children, I think, must be playing more energetically than little children used to play­ with their myriads of Temarkable toys. Why is all thisf Why are we so constantly going and doingf We cannot be nervous just because we are ne1·vous. The nature of man would hardly, without good reason, make such a change. Is it that our ideals and purposes have been lowered-that we are chasing unessen- 356 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE tials~ We are, of course, struggling in a labyrinth of materialism, but I cannot believe we are not struggling in it toward something better. Is it that human thought has conceived too far ahead of human graspf Have our scientists, our progressive statesmen, and our thinkers flooded us with so many new possibilities and opportunities that we are running and panting to turn them into actualitiesf Are the needs and problems of the world today biggerf I think they are, but that they are so partly because we are thinking of them for the first time. A problem is not a problem until it is noticed. That, it seems to me, is one of the key­ notes of this age-that we face problems openly. That, however, I think is but a part of a greater characteristic-we face them co-operatively. By saying that we are characteristically co-operative, I do not mean that we a1·e a people in perfect unity and peace, but that as a generation we believe in the value of organization and ''teamwork.'' We do what­ ever we do on a large scale. Our grandmothers knew that a poor family liYed near, and acc01·dingly at intervals took bounteous baskets or sent a wagon-load of wood. Our mothers' charity and ours is different from that. We have learned that there are families innumerable in that con­ dition or worse, so we identify ourselves with an efficient organization, a United Charities Board locally, or a Red Cross Society nationally. When our grandfathers heard of an uprising, several of them· formed a posse to attend to the t1·ouble. Our fathers and brothers see the possi­ bilities of such disasters and form a Home Guard or a National Guard. In this age, our twentieth century, our conceptions are not so centralized and personal; they are broader in scope. We think more of mankind col­ lectively. We are seeing ourselves as a little part of a great whole. This conception of ours Dr. Calkins expressed very beautifully when he said that we were each playing our own little insti'Ument in a mighty orchestra and that the harmony would be incomplete if one of us. faile.d in our little note. But we are not content now merely to sound our note. \~' e feel that each of us must not only keep our own irr tune, but must at the same time be able to lend a helping hand to the weaker or more un­ fortunate fellow-player at our side. We want to play our part well, not thinking it a solo or a duet, not even a quartette or sextette, but always having inte1·est in the way the many others are playing. Our age is diffused with this spirit of sympathy, or tolerance, or breadth, or co­ operation, as we may choose to call it. I think it is tliis that makes us characteristically nervous and busy. It requires a mighty energy to live our own lives and to be interested in and linked up with all other lives. But, it seems to me, the world did a wonderful thing when it changed its . course and mode of pursuit in this way; that in time we '11 learn to carry it on w~thout such a chaos of nervousness; and that the harmony we make will be sweeter, nobler, and more pleasing even to the Conductor himself.

From The Ly1·e of Alpha Chi Omega we clipped this note about the Zona Gale Scholarship. A unique scholarship has just been established at the UniYersity of Wisconsin, called the ''Zona Gale Scholarship,'' in honor of a .distin­ guished graduate of the university, "to be awarded annually. to a stu­ dent who has shown that he possesses special talent of a high order, and who wishes to spend his time in the university in pursuing courses which will develop his native gift, without being required to complete studies in which he has little interest. The scholarship is open to any person in any part of the country who has given evidence of e.xceptional creative ability in any field of human interest and activity. There are no re­ strictions in respect to age, sex, or race.'' * * * From 'The T1-ident of ~ ~ ~ comes this ditty of congenial chums. It strikes a familiar note because we all have some choice friends who wear some shining symbol next their hearts other than the beloved Triangle.

I have a charming little friend, We have the same degree; This friendship-quite the rar ~ st kind­ Means much to her and me.

I've met this girl since leaving school, In fact, just recently; We're friends because our tastes are marked By similarity.

We try to read the same good books And see the best of plays; We help each other out at home In many little ways.

Sometimes we play-and bow we play I At cards and dancing, too; Our husbands are congenial, They're fond of playing, too.

We take a yearly camping trip, And motor trips galore; We picnic, swim, and cook meals out, And still we cry for more.

ALPHA-COLBY COLLEGE Address-Foss Hall, Waterville, Me, Alpha's annual initiation ·and banquet were held on January 15. Nine girls joined the roll of Sigma's sisterhood. We were particularly fortunate in having Mrs. Weston present at that happy occasion. Sister Ruth Butters, om District Counselor, was also he1·e with Elizabeth Van Ummerson from Omicron, as well as several Alpha alumnre: Dr. Mary Croswell, Annie Harthom Wheeler, Mary Caswell Ca1:ter, Adelaide Lakin, Paulinah Simmons, Alfreda Bowie, Stella Greeniaw, Bernice Butler, Dorothy Mitchell, and Geraldine Baker. All Sigmas who know Mrs. Weston 1·ealize what a privilege we had in the visit which she made here the following week. She was an in· spiration to us as Sigmas, as sorority women, and al:)ove all as Colby women, for we are proud that Mrs. Weston is a daughter of our dear Alma Mater. Om Y. W. C. A. has been busier than ever this year, as we are sending a delegate to the national Y. \V. C. A. convention at Hot Springs and we have had to consider ways of raising· money very seriously. We think that the Colby organization is truly a live one. Out of one hundred and ninety-five girls in college, all but four belong to the Y. W. C. A. Five of our gids are on the cabinet for next year. We are proud, too, of the large number of our girls who were on the honor list for last semester, and we have been well represented in a!) campus activities. Colby's debating t ~am which has been making a cross-country tour, lias won fiv e victories, with two defeats and one debate with no decision.

DELTA-BOSTON UNIVERSITY Address-264 Bay State Road, Boston, Mass. Delta wishes to announce the initiation of the following girl s: Wini­ fred Holman, MUJ·iel Lawrence, Eleanor Johnso n, Beatrice Mcintire, Adine Branscom, Alice Bisbee, Mildred Smith, Mildred Clark, and Mil­ dred Precious. Initiation, as usual, was held at the Hotel Vendome, February 11, and was followed by a banquet for which Delta and Omicron united. Over 120 Sigmas were p1·esent, among whom were Mrs. Mary Love Carver and delegates from Alpha, Nu, Epsilon, and Phi, as well as many of ouT alumnre. One of the pleasantest events of this semester was the party given by one of our alumnre, Mary Bartlett, at the Cliff House, Winthrop, for actives and alumnre. Our formal dance was held at the Aberdeen Studio in Brookline on March 17, with Miss Seaver, ouT house mother, and Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett as patron and patronesses. Winifred Holman was chairman of the com­ mittee, and a great deal of her time and thoughts went toward making the dance so successful. M·any of our alumnre were back and everyone pro­ nounced it pedect, especially when the little boutonnieres of violets were passed around for the ''special.'' 362 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

Klatsch, our all-college reception, came on March 31. After the facul­ ty reception f1·om eight to nine, the different sororities held informal receptions at individual booths, decorated with their banners and colors. Our patroness, Mrs. Dallas Lore Sharp, assisted us in the receiving line. College Stunt Night took the form of a real circus. Delta put on a ''rut-the-coon'' side show with Rebecca Farnham as the coon, and Dorothy Sproul and Edna McAnn as barkers. Alpha Phi held an informal dance March 15 to which mem­ bers of all the other sororities were invited. The girls made charming hostesses and our dele­ gate reported a most delightful time. We were very sorry when two of our girls we1·e unable to return to school this semester-Esther I ves because of illness in her GATEWAY TO DELTA'S ROOM family, and Mildred Clark be­ cause of appendicitis. We were fo1tunate to have Hila Helen Small present at a meeting not long ago, when she told us of her interesting visit to Phi.

EPSILON-SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY Address-500 University Place, Syracuse, N. Y. Of course, the biggest event at Epsilon this spring was initiation, which was held on March 11, and we think it was even nicer than usual because of the presence of M1·s. Weston, our present Grand President, and Miss Hila Helen Small, past Grand President. We so much en- 'WITH OUR ACTIVE CHAPTERS 363 joyed having them with us, as it was the first time either of them had visited Epsilon. We were also glad to have six Alpha Zeta girls p1·esent. At the banquet an unusually good group of toasts vied with the noise of the caterers in the kitchen. Bess Anderson Niklas, '09, acted as toast­ mistress. Martha Niklas, aged fiv e, enjoyed the banquet as much as any­ one, we think, although she abruptly departed for bed as soon as the toasts began. On the following afternoon the chapter gave a tea with M'rs. Weston as the guest of honor.

EPSILON CHAPTER-HOUSE

Epsilon has had several delightful parties since Christmas. The one which proved to be most entertaining was our ''baby· party.'' Each girl brought one of her baby pictures from home at Christmas time and we numbered them and arranged them in an "art gallery"; then each one guessed the original of as many as she could, and the winner received a "sucker" for a prize. \Ve thought, when we could identify them at all, that the pictures smely demonstrated the adage ''Homely baby, hands9me girl'' and vice-versa, although we did not tell the owners so. Besides our annual Washington's Birthday dinner for the freshmen, over which George and Martha presided in state, we gave two most successful dances, a Christmas dance, and a Valentine dance; and now we're looking forward to our spring formal on May 13. Om newest pledges are Marion Wheeler, '25, of Tully, N. Y., and Violet Symons, '23, of Wilkesbarre, Pa. You won't know us if you come to visit us this summer, as we are to be treated by landscape-gardening during Easter vacation. The fresh· 364 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE men, as their gift to the house, are placing shrubbery and plants around the house, and regrading the lawn. We are eager to see the house \vith that established look which only vines give, and to pick hoReysuckle from the plants which the freshmen assure us will literally fill the back yard.

Everyone was very much pleased with our new home, and now that the house is painted cream with a red roof we are all more pleased than ever. On March 31 we gave our formal tea and dance. For our lights we made little parchment shades with black silhouettes, using violet lighting which gave the desired · effect. We were all disappointed in tile miny weather but our guests numbered between fiv e and six hundred, so we did not f eel so· badly slighted. We were happy to have a large number of our graduates with us, among whom were Elizabeth Wade, '20, and Blanche Eastwood, '21, who are now teaching in the southern part of the state.

MU-UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON . Address-4732 2 1st St. N . K, Seattle, W a.sh. During the winter quarter we held our largest social event of the year. This was a formal supper dance given at the H otel Washington, F eb· I'Uary 24. About sixty co uples were present, inclu din g many of our alumnre. This spring we are planning for our annual picnic at the Lodge. April 15 we had initiation for six pledges followed by a banquet at the Hotel Sorrento. Our Mothers ' Club certainly has the interest of the girl s at heart. In order to encomage high scholarship, they are offering a prize to be given at the close of school to the girl who has made the highest grades. Just recently they made a gift to the house of some furniture. An 372 STGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE overstuffed davenport and two chairs of handsome brocaded velvet ha>e greatly improved the appearance of our living room.

NU- MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE Address-Pearsons Hall, Middlebury, Vt. We were fortunate in having Ruth Butters and Esther Freeman of Omicron with us at initiation, F ebruary 25. Sister Butters came in an official capacity. Through her and through Sister Freeman we became more intimately acquainted with Omicron. Th~ morning after initiation we had our customary breakfast at the rooms. The center of attraction was Sister H oyt's little girl, who shows WITH Oua AcTIVE CHAPTERS 373 that she is getting the proper bringing up. When we sang Sigma songs she laughed and cooed, and when shown a violet, she made a frantic grab for it. Middlebury is reviving her interest in debating; and as a result we have won the three debates which we have had this winter: with St. Law­ rence, with the University of Vermont, and with Hamilton. Hamilton, which has five excellent debating teams in the fi eld, was our biggest l'ival, but we conquered even them.

XI-UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Address-1245 Oread Ave., Lawt'ence, Kan. So many things have happened so far this semester, that we have hardly had time to even guess what might happen next. On the rainiest of rainy Tuesdays, Grace Kessler Green arrived for a w11ek of inspection, but Xi likes to p1·etend that it was only a friendly visit ;from an Eta sister. In her honor, there was a faculty and patron and patroness dinner, and a tea. At the latter about one hundred guests were present, including the house mother and two representatives from each fratemity and sorority. Saturday was initiation, and now we have seven new sisters with sparkling new triangles. Five c hapt er~ of Sigma were Tepresented at initiation: Eta by Grace Kessler Green; Lambda by Lulu Mann Dodge, who now lives .in Kansas City, Mo.; Delta by Ruth Richardson, who is teaching school at Baldwin, thirty miles from here; Iota by Mildred Woodside, who affiliated with Xi this winter; and Ruth Litchen of our very own Xi. The toast list was so ananged that the first letter of each t oast spelled Mystic Bond. This week end is to be our annual spring house-party. We are ex­ pecting twenty-four out-of-town rushees and ten t own 1·ushees. Saturday will be the freshman luncheon, planned and financed by the freshmen. In -the evening will be the real affair of the week end, a dance at Ecke 's Hall; and Sunday, a dinner. The usual house dance for Friday night h'as been eliminated from this year's program and the committee has not yet divulged the plan of entertainment for that evening.

OMICRON-JACKSON COLLEGE Address-Richardson House, Tufts College, 57, Mass. The chief interest on the Hill now is the Tufts Jumbo Bond Campaign to raise one million dollars. This sum is to swell our endowment fund. Already $300,000 has been generously pledged and the General Educa· tion Board has guamnteed an additional $300,000 on the condition tliat $400,000 be pledged before May 1, 1922. The uncle1· graduates and alumni have both started upon the campaign with eq ual zest. The faculty granted the students an extra week of vacation in Ap_ril, so that they might raise their quota. Tea l'Ooms and shoe-shine emporiums sprang up overnight. Sunday morning breakfasts are being served, peppermint patties and maple sugar sold, all for the Jumbo Drive. Almost every student leaving the Hill on April 8 carried a suitcase which, I am safe in saying, contained two boxes of Jumbo patties, and on the suitcases were the Jumbo stickers, and it was not only the math sharks who knew that eve1·y suitcase has two sides. The uppermost thought in every mind is to come back to college on April 24 with $60 or more, either in bonds or certificates. Sigma Kappa joined with the three other sororities in plans fm· a Panhellenic dance on May 6. This will mean the giving up of the individual spring sorority dances; by pooling our expenses in this manner a large sum can be turned over to the campaign. 376 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

On April 6 the f1·eshman class won the right to fly their :flags by triumphing over the sophomores in the indoor track meet, the freshmen having already defeated the sophomores in basketball.

PI-STANFORD UNIVERSITY Address-10 Salvatierra St., Stanford University, Cal. The Stanford Unive·rsity is operating a big endowment campaign. The university is well equipped, but not fully equipped and it is in need of extra funds to meet the necessary additions and the necessary increases of salaries of the teaching staff. I'm wondering how many of the alumnre of our chapter have had the privilege of seeing the new stadium. It 1·epresents a splendid piece of engineering plus artistic planning. The University of Califomia is now planning to build one on the same plan. As for the girls here in the house, we are more than busy this year. Om number is small and therefore double responsibility has to be assumed by each girl. We gave a large tea in the fall fo1· our new house mother, and an informal house dance, and during winter quarter we gave an informal dance which proved very successful. Of comse, the spring quarte1· has just begun and so far we have not done much. But we have had the pleasure of Miss Mattoon's visit within the month of April, and entertained for her informally at tea. We are very fond of Miss Mat­ toon and only wish she had more time to spend with us when she comes. MARION S. PETRAY, '£2.

RHO-RANDOLPH-MACON WOMAN'S COLLEGE Address-R.·M. W. C., Lynchburg, Va. At last our days of suspense are over and we can announce the pledg­ ing of seven girls-Dorothy Carnell, Louise Spradlin, Martha Bell Gray, Anne Wilbourn, Alice Hersey, Margaret Fultz, and Elizabeth Fultz. We are exceedingly pi·oud of these girls and are doing everything we can to make truly good Sigmas of them. Incidentally, I might add that they are doing their share, for our house fairly shines because of their labors over it and they have proved themselves fine cooks. One of the pledges, Alice Hersey, is the daughter of a Sigma Kappa. Mrs. Hersey was a member of Alpha Chapter and we feel that through Alice we are in a sense more closely connected with Alpha. This past month has been one of particular interest to us because of the long·anti"cipated visit of Mrs. Weston. When we learned definitely the day she was to arrive our f eelings were, to say the least, uneasy. All past pictures· of her in the TRIANGLE faded out before our mental vision of a most austere personage who would reduce us to ashes by one glance through her lorgnette. But let me say that when we saw her­ small and charming as she is-we were most delightfully surprised. r' will not attempt to say how much we enjoyed her visit and what a help and inspiration she was to us. On March 24, we gave a tea for Mrs. Weston at the Pines, and thus offered the members of Panhellenic and the faculty an opportunity to meet our Grand President. Let me add · that everyone \vho met her left with the same impression of her that all of us have. Spring is gradually coming on the campus and soon the wisteria will be in bloom. Even now little lavendar tints may be seen here and there against the red brick of Main Hall. Even and Odd days have com:e and gone and they were red-letter days respectively to each Even and Odd. On March 14, Even Day, the campus blossomed forth with white and yellow chrysanthemums-the result of many an hour of sophomore labor. A fountain suddenly burst forth in front of Main Hall and the Hitching Post was encircled and crowned with the trophies won by the Even classes. Then in the afternoon the parade took place. It was a Robin Hood parade and Robin Hood and Ellen and Little John, accompaniep by numerous archers and village maidens, and preceded by two heralds on snow-white horses, paraded over the campus and down the street in front of the college. Then on April 1, all the Odds we"re heard singing over the campus -something to the effect of ''It's the Odd born in us.'' The campus was lovely with red camations and ragged robins forming a border for all the red brick sidewalks. Red, gray and blue streamers floated in the breeze from the Odd tree. The parade in the afternoon was composed of floats drawn by girls representing red carnations and blue ragged robins. Behind 378 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE them came a float of witches dressed in sombre black, stirring something in a cauldron; then came the red float with little red devils sitting a1·ound a smoking fire. Rho has started sending letters to each alumna about four times a year regularly. These let~ers contain the latest news of the chapter and any college news that we think will be of interest. We feel that we made quite a success of the first letter, judging from the number of letters we have received lately from the alumnre thanking us for the '' re­ newed interest,'' and telling us how much they enjoyed learning the news from the chapter and even occasionally enclosing a check. These letters help to fill in the breach that exists between the active members and the alumnre after graduation. At present the entire student body of Randolph-Macon is very much excited over the triangular debate which took place April 7. The three members of the triangle are Sophie Newc!Jmb, Agnes Scott, and Randolph­ Macon. Each college had two teams, one of which remains at home while the other goes away. Sophie Newcomb debated here this year and om other team went to Agnes Scott. This is our second year in the debate and we had a little better success than we had last year when both of our teams were defeated. We won the debate here but lost it at Agnes Scott. Agnes Scott won the other two debates and consequently won the triangular contest. Of course we are sony not to have won it but we feel that our debating council is growing stronger all the time and although it is only two years old now, it has every prospect for great ach.ievements in the future.

A complete prog1·am has been planned but the most important thing is to renew old bonds and strengthen new ones. As the first of May draws near, the chief topic of. conversation is the approaching May Fete. "I'm going to be a snowflake," says one WITH OuR AcTIVE CHAPTERS 379 long lank freshman to a sister pledge who acclaims to all the world that she will be a · shepherdess. The May Day celeb1·ation this year is to be Elizabethan and will be held in Arden Forest, where the grass grows greenest and the red-bugs bite the hardest. Close on the heels of this event comes the Kill Kare Karnival with its freaks, side-shows, confetti and fortune tellers. We already feel the hole the seniors are going to leave behind them. In order to guige our wandering footsteps and to furnish light for the future generation of Sigmas, they presented us with a mahogany floor lamp with a shade canying out the Lav~ndar and the Maroon.

Initiation is now upon us and April 15 welcomed Fay Bumett, Lolita Capers, and Janet Bogardus into our ever-widening band. At present we a~e chastising the flesh in 01·der to improve the spirit. The faculty now requires thirty hours' credit on the books before initiation and that means that some of the freshmen are having to wait m1til June to be initiated. The Arden Club and its offspring, the Junior, have both given enter­ taining plays recently. Ruth Hill has been performing for some time but Louise Crawford blossomed out quite suddenly as maid in oue of the Junior Arden Club plays. Speaking of dramatics, between terms C. E. W.

TAU-INDIANA UNIVERSITY Address-527 E. Sixth St., Bloomington, Ind. A home of her own! This is Tau's latest acquisition, a big, roomy lnme with an enormous yard and situated almost directly opposite the sitt> of the proposed dormitory which will house 600 girls when all the units m·e fini shed. Magnolia bushes, clumps of bridal wreath, white violets and even our own grape vines in the back yard make it almost impossible f or us to wait until September to take possession. On Mar·ch 12 Indiana University officially began the Million-Dollar­ Memorial Campaign for new buildings with a monstrous mass _meeting ·wiTH Oua AcTIVE CHAPTERS 381 at which students were the principal speakers. Within thirty hours the campus had subscribed $413,958 in voluntary subscriptions. Not one bit of coercion was used in any case and no money was accepted unless it was a pledge of absolute loyalty. As soon as the campus quota of $400,000 was reached we were given a vacation for the rest of the week. Sigma Kappa was mighty proud to be one of the first sororities on the campus subscribing 100 per cent. Practically all the girls worked on committees and helped in the thousand and one details of the campaign. Nearly every student responded. The JordO!It Riveq· Rev~te, a campus musical production with a cast of 100 members, was given in Indianapolis for the benefit of the memorial campaign. Many of the girls took part in the chorus and four of the members of Sigma Delta Phi, honorary dramatic sorority, gave a special Oriental dancing act. These were Mary Shoemaker, Mary Jo w ·oods, Mary Osborne and Anita Swearinger. She Got What She Came LlfteT was the vet·y significant title of our act at the Y. W. C. A. county fair. Three performances were given and original songs and dances directed by Mary Shoemaker made it one of the successes of the evening. · Our successful formal dance was ·held in March in the Trophy room; rept·esentatives were pt·esent from other sororities on the campus.

UPSILON-OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Address-45 Park -Terrace, Corvallis, Ore. ''Dancing 18 knots an hour.'' This sign, painted in dizzy, swaying letters on the wrapping paper covered walls of U psi! on's home was one of many announcing that Sigma Kappa was furnishing her share of the entertainment for the all-college '' Travel-On'' party. The women's league, forced to abandon for one 382 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE year its annual show, raised its funds by having every women's fra­ ternity and hall be part of a progressive party. Upsilon felt that a large per cent of the men who ''travelled'' from group to group went via the ''Pirate's Den.'' ·Our house was literally packed with men clamoring to practice such dances as "Gangplank Wobble," "Deck Shuffle,'' and ''Dagger Dip.'' So popular was our orchestra, ''Captain Kidd- 'Em's Favorites,'' and so hea1-tily were such injunctions as ''Have a sinker with your brew'' obeyed, that our announcement, ''Anchorage safe for 15 minutes" was disregarded. That the ph ate's life is re­ mumerative was proved by the fact that we cleared more than any other group. This good news climaxed a week which has b1·ought to us the an­ nouncement that Mildred Forest and Zella Steele were two of seven juniors pledged to Omicron Nu, honorary home economics fraternity; that Zclla is to be next year's president of the home economics club, Lois Payne home economics editor of the Oregon Countryman, and Helen Humphreys secretary of the women's league-the only sorority woman chosen as an officer of that organization. Not only that, but we have five new pledges: Ruth Moreland, '24, and Martha Berger, Kathleen Bitney, Eugenia Squires, and Edith Cava­ naugh, all '25. A tea, at which our two hundred and fifty guests included faculty women, wives of faculty members, and friends in Corvallis, and a dance were our only social events of the second quarter. The dance was espe­ cially enjoyed by the weary member in that all the work of its prepara­ tion as well as its feature, a gypsy song and dance, formed part of the training of the eleven girls who were initiated on February 18: Gladys Whipple, graduate; Harriet Forest, '22; Winifred Cauch, and Ella Robson, '23; Elizabeth Owens, H elen French, Marie Humfeld, Ruth Coffeen, and Zilda Reeder, '24, and Vera Sikes and Helen Hum­ phrey, '25. The scholarship cup, awarded to the sorority having the highest scho­ lastic average for 1920-21, was given Upsilon the first of last term. Because we knew how our grades compared with those of other frater­ nities for each quarter of the previous year, it didn't come as a total . surprise. In fact, we had been saving. a place for it on our m~ntel. But when a few days after the presentation of the cup it was announced that Sigma Kappa had the highest average of any group for the fall term we were not only completely amazed but so spurred to further effort that we instituted a supervised study for underclassmen and all studied diligently that we might hear a similar report for the winter t erm. The grades haYe not yet been announced but we're trusting that what one of the men's houses says is true-'' It's inevitable that Sigma Kappa leads in grades.''

PSI-UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN Address-430 Sterling Court, Madison, Wis. First of all comes our acquisition of royalty, for H elen Stilwill was the Queen of Military Ball this spring. This military ball and the junior prom are the social events of the greatest prestige at the Univer­ sity of Wisconsin, and are always very much emphasized and anticipated. The selection of the university woman who is to lead is one of the most

PSI'S HOME looked forward to of all the developments and preparations. Of course we were all elated when we learned that Helen had been asked. It was held in the capitol, which presented a brilliant spectacle with myriads of flags everywhere, the gaily dressed girls, khaki clad cadets, and the huge crystal ball throwing multi-colo1·ed lights over all. The grand 386 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE march winding in and out among the marble pillars of the capitol and around the stairways was spectacular and impressed all that were there, especially us when we saw Helen at the head. She and her partner also headed the pre-military ball play, the p1·e-military ball· dance, and the post-military ball dinner-dance for the officers. We were also repre­ sented in the pre-military ball play, The Bells of BeQ~U,jolais, by Ger­ trude Haase, who played a principal lead, and Lillian Netzow was in the cast. Musically we have received several honors. Frances Landon was elected president of Mu Alpha, honorary musical sorority, and Charlotte Belscamper was elected to membership. This sorority is the greatest honor that the Music School gives. Charlotte was also taken into Clef Club, a society based on superiority detected in try-outs. Gertrude Haase and Charlotte Belscamper were taken into Glee Club. Frances Landon is now the official accompanist for it, and is featured lru·gely in their concerts. And spring has affected all of us, whether we have ability or not, to such an extent that there is music of some sort in the house most of the time. · Our new victrola helps with this, too. Spring athletics have just commenced, and we hope that we will be able to make as good a showing in them as we did in the winter sports. Foremost in importance is the election of Dorothy Williruus as captain of the va1·sity baseball team. This is . the first time that a captain ha~ been elected, which makes this honor of even added importance. Edith Porter and Hazel Weingandt played on their class baseball teams and in the tournament gruues. In basketball Louise Fritsche, Katherine Kennedy, Mary Altdoeffer, Mabel Jobse, and Margaret Pergande all played on class teams and in the tournament games. Hazel Weingandt was one of the few freshmen to make perfect 1·ecords in the apparatus work during the winter. The Varsity Jamboree, held appropriately on April 1, was a riot of color, confetti, serpentine, music, funny costumes, pretty costumes, odd costumes, and mixed costumes. This is an all-university affair and is atways well attended by students in unique disguises of all sorts. Ger­ trude Kehl won the prize given for the best individual woman's costume; she wore a striking bat costume which had huge wings with brilliant green lining and ribbings, suspended from the shoulders to the WI•iste. Ruth Stilwell and Hazel Weingandt were initiated on March 12, after a protracted week of entertaining the actives and being suspiciously and unusually meek and obedient. Since then we have pledged Louetta Dieruf, a Madison freshman in the Home Economics cpurse who has since had many oppo1-tunities to put her course into practical application. And speaking of spring and pledges, that combination is producing the usual constructive results in spasms of painting, re-covering, and general renovating. W·hiJe spring alone may not be wholly responsible for this WITH OuR AcTIVE CHAPTERS 387 great industriousness, still they a1·e accomplishing wonders with the new textbook library and systematic arrangement of all the house closets. They have just finished painting all of the porch furniture a shiny black, and putting new covers of striking cretonne on it, added inducements to spend these spring evenings on the front porch. The first week in April we gave an informal house dance, decorating with quantities of pussy willows and spring fiowe1·s. FRANCES H. W ARR.EN.

OMEGA-FLORIDA STATE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN Address-Tallahassee, F la. Did you ever have so much to say that you didn't know where or how to begin~ That is the difficulty of this TRIANGLE cornispondent, and a very serious one it is. We have been in such a whh·l of studying, going to parties, and "at homes," preparing for Field Day, and participating in all kinds of college activities that it is hard to stop, get our breath, and try to take stock of our time. But if you are inclined to be dubious, the fact that we have been working hard, and participating actively may easily be proved if you will but glance at the election retums and other items of our personal column. We are twenty-eight! Indeed, we feel as if we could accomplish any­ thing with 'twenty-five girls wearing gold triangles and three wearing gold monograms. On March 5 we initiated nine new Sigmas and as a consequence we feel just nine times stronger. The following evening they were our guests at the third initiation ba~quet of Omega.. This banquet was held at the Cherokee Tea Room and 1t was a most enJoyable 388 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

affair. In fact we were having such a delightful time toasting each other and singing our favorite songs that one of the darkies in the kitchen beg·an to vie with us by singing at the top of her voice '' Oh! I'm so glad that I'm a Sigma Kappa! '' One of the most exciting events of om college year is the Senio1· Coronation in combination with the Junior Minstrel. This year the king and queen were gypsy ,lovers and the coronation took place against a sylvan background. A number of our girls were gypsies. In the min­ strel which followed, Jane Butts was an end man, Gladys Stons played one of the two pianos, and Catherine Richard and Elizabeth Gerald played prominent roles. Flol'ida State College athletic field is in constant use this week. Field Day events took place on Monday and Tuesday and of course there was an unusual amount of excitement. This excitement was followed by still more in the form of the s~ate track meet. A number of high schools in different parts of Florida sent representatives to take part in the field events and in the declamation contest. And now for a little chat about convention, because that is what we are all most interested in at present. Omega is hoping that four or five of her girls will attend since we know that the more delegates that we send, the more enthusiastic will be the members of our chapter next year. And so we read with interest eve1·y word about the Illini convention, and look forward with enthusiasm toward meeting all of our sisters whom we have known so long through om magazine articles and chapter letters. Here's to Theta chapter! LOIS MACQUEEN.

ALPHA BETA-UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO Address-95 Johnson Park, Buffalo, N. Y. We are ·glad to announce that Alpha Beta's affairs are back to nor­ malcy once more. The damages of the fire have been repaired and work at Townsend Hall is again in full swing. \YrTH OuR AcrrvE CHAPTERS 389

On the evening of January 16, just after school reopened, our chapter was entertained at a delightful supper party given by our patronesses. We have had such jolly times with them that we feel we ought to intro­ duce them to you. It was Mrs. Julian Park who opened her home to us that night, and Mrs. Albeit Sy and M'rs. Wilfred Sherk who assisted. her in entertaining us. The students of Townsend Hall wei"e especially favm·ed with an address by Professor Alfred Zinunern on ''The International Outlook'' on January 23. Nothing more compi"ehensive in scope or moi"e logical in sti"ucture is at all likely to come to local audiences dui"ing these times. All the editorial staffs are busy working on the !Tis, our annual publi­ cation. Alpha Beta, too, contributed its picture which now contains thirty faces, foi" you see we have had another initiation this year. On Febi"uary 16 nine gil'ls were admitted to our group : Florence L. Turk, '23; Helen 0. Pottei", '24; Helen J . Brown, '25; Katharine A. Brownell, '25; Jasmine L. Hai"dleben, '25; Clara 1\f. KI"apf, '25; Mil­ drid F. Mabie, '25; Bessie C. Schmidlin, '25; H. Elaine Wardner, '25. The initiation ceremony and banquet was held at the LaFayette Hotel. Beulah Ritzel presided as toastmistress, and so impressive and unique were the toasts she used that we must tell you about them. You see, she chose to symbolize Sigma Kappa as a shrine where pilgrims come to invoke the guiding spirit. She wrote the poetry herself and this is the last verse, to which Eula Grove Linger responded: "I guide you on-behold your task; I give you here the Torch of Sister­ hood to light the way, and charge thee-Give to men's needs. Pledge all thy heart to loyalty and I"ight, and follow Sigma wheresoe 'er she leads.'' February 22, University Day, was "celebrated at the Teck Theater with fitting exercises and an address by Kerf D. Macmillan, the president of Wells College. The first two weeks in March found Buffalo enjoying 'the appearance of Mantell and his company, and Sothern and Marlowe in Shakespearean roles varied enough to suit all tastes. On March 9 Alpha Beta held its annual informal dance at the Scalp and Blade House. It was evident from the attendance that Alpha Beta's dance is a favorite affair and provides enjoyment for the most exclusive tastes. On April 1 the freshman gii"ls gave the junioi" girls a delightful luncheon at the Nanking Restaurant. It was really the most collegiate girls' affair we have had in a long time and we welcomed the friendly spirit that prompted it. Just at present the University of Buffalo is facing a modern ethical proole.m which entails the present as well as , the future welfare of the 390 S I GMA K APP A TRIANGLE college. The Junior ·Prom planned for April 21, the first one ever held at the university, has called down the criticism of some of the prominent women of our city, who have protested against the so-called All-Night Affa-ir. The question now seems to have resolved itself into a matter of· principle as to whethel' or not university students are capable of co1iducting a prom in a dignified and academic manner without the un­ solicited assistance of outsiders. Just what the outcome will be we cannot tell but we hope that the students will make the wisest decision possible. EMILY H. WEBSTER.

They have measured up to our expectations and we are happy to think that they, too, will be Sigmas soon. Our spring dance was a big success. The decoration scheme was carried out in m·ange and yellow. We had tulips and daffodils in nu· merous window boxes, and hundreds of yellow butterflies flying over­ head. E lizabeth Counsil from Mu was with- us, and Millicent Wall, one of our alumnre. vVe are exchanging dinner guests every two weeks with the other sorority houses; in tllis way we are really getting acquainted with the sormity women on the campus.

We were soon ·wiTH OuR AcTIVE CHAPTERS 391 installed in our pa1-t of the hotel known to us as ''Sigma's ·wing.'' It seemed like old times and everyone was so happy and excited. It was good to see Mrs. Darden, Miss Reaney and Harriette Arnell busy with preparations for initiation, but how we missed Sisters Eliza Alexander, Lorah Monroe, Carrie Turnbull, and the Zeta girls. But on the other hand we had Sisters Glen Holden and Lena Pierce to assist us. Words are inadequate to express how lovely, sincere, and wonderful our initia· tion was. Let me introduce to you our new sisters: Mary Shires, Cor· nelia Steele, Mary Young, Naomi Ensor, and Ma1·y Crowell.

ALPHA DELTA'S ROOM

Sister Reaney was our cleYer and charming toastmistress at the ban· quet. Most beautiful and impressive toasts were given by ·Sisters Darden and Arnell. The telegrams and letters of congratulation were greatly enjoyed and appreciated by· both active members and initiates. After the banquet two pleasant hours were spent in the clubroom before the huge log fire. A great surprise awaited us-the announcement that Sister Reaney would not be ~t U. T. 11 ext year. Naturally we were astonished, though we soon realized that it must be a man taking her from us and sent him our eongratulations. But Alpha Delta and U. T. have already begun to grieve over their loss. Sunqay morning ML Darden anived, and I must say that he is the most graceful man I ever saw. '!.'h ere were eighteen of us and we immediately pounced on hi~ and he was perfectly able to talk to all of us at the same time. 392 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

We had the most delightful surprise April 4. Miss Anna Powell spoke to the university girls on the Maine Sea Coast Mission. Alpha Dt>ltas immediately became alert and put on their thinking caps, and were soon shaking hands and kissing a member of Alpha Chapter and one who is an o1·dained minister. Alpha Delta was almost as big a sur­ prise to Miss Powell as she was to us. She was in Knoxville attending a missionary convention, and of course she was in great demand, but we had the opportunity of having her at dinner one night. What a happy dinner we had and what fun to see Sister Powell eat her first beaten biscuits. We spent a most pleasant and enlightening evening in the chapter-room hearing many interesting things about Sigma Kappa's philanthropic work and about many of her wonderful daughters. ALMA SHAW.

ALPHA EPSILON-IOWA STATE COLLEGE Address-204 Welch Ave., Ames; Iowa At Iowa State each division in the college has a day set aside for it, on which it gives an exhibition of the work it is accomplishing. The .home economics division celebrates this day as '' Hec Day. '' Our third annual Hec Day was held February 3 and 4; every Sigma was busy helping to make this day the biggest of the year. You will not wonder that everyone worked when you hear that the division was hostess to 2,000 guests. On F1·iday the physical education department gave an exhibition of its work while the "Hec" vaudeville provided entertainment for the evening. Saturday morning large num­ bers of people gathered at Home Economics·Building, through which they were escorted to view the exhibitions of sewing, cooking and art work. Cookies, cherry pie a Ia mode and coffee were served to the guests. Initiation was held at the chapter-house February 10. Our initiates were Claire Yungclas, Fern Thornton, Virginia Be1·toli, and Marie S~lli­ van. The banquet was held at the house, Frances Newell acting as toastmistress. We have two new pledges, Fern Brown of Marcus, Iowa, and Berenice Gish of Kirkman, Iowa. A Valentine dance was given at the house February 11. The dance proved a success, largely due to our freshmen, who had charge of the decorating and general arrang-ements. Several alumnre were back for that week end. WITH OuR AcTIVE CHAPTERS 393

The senior girls are very proud of the Sigma Kappa rings which they received last week. The custom of giving each senio1· a ring as a gift from the chapter was started last year. We are looking forward to our house birthday on May 7. At this time eacli class will purchase a gift for the house and these will be pre­ sented at the birthday dinner that evening. GRATA THORNE.

Since our last letter to the TRIANGLE we have seen or hea,rd from many Sigmas. March 4, our initiation day, b1·ought nine Epsilon girls and also Elsa Schlobohm, '21, one of our own alumnre. We enjoyed having them here, and we hope that as the yea1·s go by we shall keep on exchanging visits. Unfortunately Mrs. Weston, due to sudden illness, was unable to be here for initiation or for the formal tea we gave the next day in her honor. Charlotte Allen, H elen Weber, Lois Douque, Martha Kinne, Mary Acker, Dorothy Vann, Marjorie Wilmot, Mary Wickes, and Louisa Ridgeway were received into the Mystic Bond. Mrs. Weston. arrived in time for chapter meeting. She charmed us, as she .has countless other Sigmas, with her cultured voice and quiet humor. She gave us an intimate view of the work being done off the Maine Coast and showed us snapshots of some of the Islands and Mission children. While she was here we gave a tea in her honor, and she was also asked to speak at an open Panhellenic meeting. We were sorry when she left, for we wanted to know her better, but six of our girls went to Syracuse for initiation and so had another opportunity. 394 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

We have received so many lovely gifts for the house that when it comes time for us to furnish our own home it will surely be "the house beautiful.'' Evidence of the love of Sigmas is visible as soon as you come in sight of the front door for over it is a bronze doorplate from Zeta, our sister chapter. The pledges presented us with a melodious gong and fifteen dollars, and our seniors gave us a silver coffee urn, which we christened at the tea given in Mrs. Webster's honor. Our alumnre and the Sigmas who live in town have also remembered us most generously. The main source of wealth for our house fund comes from '-'The Co-op.'' It sounds as though we raised chickens and sold eggs, but tl1at is not true. The Co-op is a store in the basement of Monill Hall which is run on a co-operative basis. We Sigmas sign our slips ~ K

and so our dividends go toward the house fund. As practically every­ thing is sold .at the Co-op from hairnets and chocolate bars to textbooks and goloshes we Tealize a fine profit. Fate has surely been kind to us, for Professor Pope's family has decided to spend another year ab1·oad, so we can have our same house this coming year. To add to om joy about the house comes the welcome news that Aunt Sue, our chaperon, is coming back too. Aunt Sue is K. Ranis's mother and as K. is a senior we feared she would leave, too. We are glad to announce the pledging of Dorothy Lamont, '24, and Charlotte Hopkins, '25. VhTH OuR Ac·riVE CHAPTERS 395

ALPHA ETA-UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Address-1401 6th St. S. E ., Minneapoli s, Minn . .Not so very long ago nine much abused, suffering and anxious pledges became full-fledged Sigmas. It was a day of great joy for them, as well as for us, for they were relieved of the pressing( f) duties of pledges and could refuse to obey our orders without any serious results. During probation week, just preceding initiation, they proved them­ selves very clever, capable, and willing sisters. We did not lack amu se­ ment at any moment during that period, for we had impr-omptu speeches at noon, songs which related the day's events, and all the waiting on we could possibly I·equire. The last night of their probation they gave us an exceedingly fine program and a very tasty supper. Our initiation (the first in which our own girls ha,·e taken part) was most beautiful and impressive. This service was followed by a formal banquet at the Curtis Hotel. We all enjoyed it equally, those to whom the mysteries of Sigma Kappa were disclosed for the first time, and those who inwardly 1·enewed their vows with their new sisters. Just at the present time all students and alumni of the University of Minnesota are quite saddened, for President Emeritus Northrup, who was for so many years connected with the Univ e r s it~ ' , and to whom that institution, its graduates and students owe so mu ch, died a f ew days 396 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE ago. Although we who are at Minnesota now never had the privilege and good fortune of knowing him as well as the older students, we have felt the influence of his wonderful life. Living close to the university to which he had devot€d so many years and the best years of his life, he never lost his interest in its welfare, and frequently addressed the students. His funeral cortege passed through the campus, the walks of which were lined with sorrowing friends. 'fhis winter quarter has fairly flown, it seems. It has been ve1·y busy, yet uneventful. We have had our own pa1-ties from time to time which are always enjoyable, but the biggest event of the season was the annual Junior Ball. Quite a few of our girls attended. Money, always a scarce article, seems just as elusive and hard to obtain as ever, but it must be wooed and won, so we are now planning to engage the Apollo Club, one of the city's finest musical organizations, to give us a concert in May. We hope and expect that this first attempt of ours at raising money in this way will prove successful. DORIS H . DURYEA, '23.

THE LOST ONE-HALF . A statement has been made recently that one·third of the citizens f ail to vote in general elections. We believe it.

Perhaps all the Sigmas have moved out of ·washington, Bloomington, Colorado, Los Angeles, vVorces­ ter, and Chicago, but we doubt ·it. We know full well they are having their social meetings and doing things for our Sea Coast Mission' that they haven't told us about. We shall expect extra long letters from them next time. A A A

BOSTON ALUMNJE CHAPTER Boston Alumnre Chapter has been very fortunate in being entertained this year in the homes of many of our members. Our January meeting was very delightfully spent with Ruth and Maude Butters, our treasurer and vice-president, respectively, at their home in Hyde Park. In February the meeting was held with Sister Collins in Watertown. A large part of the time was spent in discussing the BuUetin, and we were also favored with some wonderful music. In M'arch we were entertained at our president's home in Everett. At this meeting we were favored in having Sister Small with us, who gave us a splendid picture of her impressions of Syracuse. We con· gratulate the Syracuse girls on their beautiful home. Sister Small also represents us at Boston Panhellenic, and brings us from time to time bits of news of its progress . Congratulations are extended• to Rose Greenberg Williams, who an- nounces the birth of twins on January 23, 1922, Harold Irving Williams and Harriet Ruth Williams. We shall look forward to their visiting us before long. It has seemed good to welcome several visitors this year from other chapte1·s, Alpha, Phi, and Mu having been recently represented. There is alw ays a welcome for any Sigma girls who happen to be near Boston. MARGARET I. CUTLER.

NEW YORK CITY ALUMNJE If you believe that ''variety is the spice of life'' you're sure to find it in the New York Alumnre Chapter-always new people, often Sigmas from new chapters, and consequently new interests. Now, if we can make some one's interest keen enough to attract all our Sigma sisters in this vicinity, we can promise a real center of Sigma life in our great metropolis. The special meeting·called on April 15 at the Sherman Square Hotel to discuss the slate of Grand Chapter officers, brought together not only active members of the New York Alumnre Chapter, but several .visitors to New Yo1·k for the Easter season. After dispensing with the special business, Elizabeth Ritchie urged all Sigmas to attend the Panhellenic luncheon at Hotel Astor the following week. The Board of Delegates of the Panhellenic has been working on a big proposition which it will present at this year's luncheon, one of interest to Greek women every­ where----a Panhellenic Club House. You will hear all about it later, and perhaps you'd like to invest in a bond for the Club House, when• a Sigma from your chapter may be living ten years hence. WrTH OuR ALUMNlE CHAPTERS 401

Over the teacups we made plans for our May picnic at the home of Mrs. Marsh, Grand Boulevard, Tuckahoe, New York. If you will be in New York May 20, plan to be there. Now, just to tell you about the "specials" who were with us: Adeline Perkins and Han·iet Finch, both from Epsilon, were guests of the chap­ ter, as well as Edith Jones Mitchell, who is now living in New York. We hope Mrs. Mitchell will prove a permanent addition, as those of us who know her realize she can bring us much that is worth while. At present she is working upon the organization of a juvenile court for Westchester County, in accordance with a law which was recently passed at Albany. Our chapter at Tufts College was represented by Mary Helen Dodd, '13, who is taking graduate work at Columbia University. Now that she and Elsie· Gulley have discovered that they are living in the same Hall at Columbia, they are anticipating some good times together. We want to know all the rest of yo u living among us. Come and help to solve the problem of making the New York City Alumnre Chapter the largest and one of the best in the U. S. A. Yours in the Bond, ELSIE E. GULLEY.

THETA ALUMN.lE NEWS Our most recent bride is Miss Lois W'ilson, '21, who manied John Kuhmler on March 4 at her Chicago home. The new Sigma brother is a graduate of the University of Illinois, where he transferred after two years at Illinois Wesleyan. He is a member of Sigma Chi. They will make their home in Chicago. Miss Audrey Dykeman and Mrs. Bernice Powell Gregg visited the chapter the first of April to decide upon a lot on behalf of the building fund. Employing businesslike methods and displaying persistence they red uced the prospects to several brilliant possibilities and are still engaged in driving a ba1·gain with the real estate men. Pauline Nichols and Lois Wine, both '21, expect to attend the formal dance of the chapter on the last week end in April. My~etta Engelland, '20, has given up her position with David Zork and Company and is teaching household science in Aurora, filling the vacancy left by Gladys Naden, '18, who has gone abroad. Florence Wine, ex- '24, has had a change of position at Dennison and Company, and is now doing some publicity work for the firm. Her pres­ ent concem is to popularize the crepe paper hat. for summer wear. ''A different hat for every occasion'' is her motto. 402 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

KANSAS CITY ALUMNJE CHAPTER Kansas City Alumnre Chapter has had the pleasure of having Grace Kessler Green as a guest. Sister Green ·came to Kansas City March 17 and remained two days. She was such an inspira ti{)n to all of us. On Wednesday, March 18, the chapter gave a luncheon at t he Hotel Muel· bach for Grace. Thursday evening a bridge party was given in her honor at the home of Ramona Stewart. Our February meeting was held at the home of Muriel H ill. At this meeting we decided that, in order to raise money for om National Philanthropy, we would give monthly evening bridge. The girls should a.ttend accompanied by their husbands or gentlemen friends. The ad· mission to these parties was set at one dollar. We have had two parties, both of which were a success. The first was at the home of Gertrude Tammen; the second at the home of Sister Stewart. The March meeting of Kansas City Alu.mnre was at the home of Ethel Gray, in Kansas City. Ethel's meeting was very enjoyable. Kansas City has been honored this past week by being allowed to enter· tain the convention of the American Association of University Women. Many wonderful university executives from all over the United States were present. I am sure that all of us who attended the interesting meetings felt greatly 1·epaid. Our April meeting is to be at the home of Rhea Johnson on April 15. RAMONA KIRKPATRICK STEWART.

PERSONALS Beulah Addison Johnson, who has been seriously ill , is improving slowly. Bernita Elgin Taylor visited in Kansas City last week.

. BUFFALO ALUMNJE CHAPTER Address-103 Dewey Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. W'e alumme of this corner of the Empire State greet you under a new title, less inclusive but more appropriate. "Western New York Alum­ nre" was mther too pretentious a title for the dozen or so of us who are all strictly Buffalonians. But of course this change in name does not mean that any Sigmas in this vicinity will not be most cordially welcome to join us. WITH OuR ALUMNJE CHAP'l'ERS . 403

That we have enjoyechoui· winter· meetings it is unnecessary t o remark. All Sigmas have . . Our January meeting was with Sister Thompson. The program was furnished by Florence Bentz with enlightening cur­ rent events by Mrs. Linger. Florence is an assistant in .the Pharmacy Department at Buffalo Uni\·ersity, and besides her specialized course in chemistry has had experience in Buffalo's big aniline dye factory which during ·the war was a munition plant. Consequently the account she gave us of the dye industry was most interesting. To illustrate the stages of development she showed us samples of the various coal tar products. By diagrams Florence gave us a hint of the complexity of those molecules which the Germans had learned to juggle so we11 to form the dyes of commerce. vVe were glad to have this glimpse into that great world of organic chemisti·y which a few find so fascinating, but at which we uninitiated can only marvel. . At our ·January meeting we had Tesolved to do something worth while at our gatherings, and at Sister Cheney's suggestion decided that ·nothing could be more worth while than to supply the wants of some prospective Maine Sea Coast baby. On St. Valentine's Day at Sister Brettle 's we had a card party, enjoyable and profitable, and the money therefrom was used by Sister Brettle to buy outing flannel and other baby essentials. At our February meeting with Sist.eT Foster we sewed diligently on these as we· listened to the interesting program, and then we took the Temain­ ing garments home with us to finish. Some of our dear Buffalo Sigma babies generously shared their outgrown clothes, so that now Mrs. Bret­ tle 's box looks as if it would supply more than on e prospective little Maine Sea-Coaster. 'fhe F ebruary program was fumished ' by two of our number who serve us faithfully in the public library, Mildred Meade Edget and ·Annis Fox. Their papers were on contemporm·y novelists · and contem­ porary dTamatists, respectively. These are vast subjects, as are the suc­ ceeding ones: ''Contemporary Musicians'' and ''Contemporary Poets''; you might expect our next to be something brief ·Jike a summary of Wells' Wo?"ld Histo1·y. PeThaps we hereafter shall have less stupendous subjects because -of this first year's experience, but I doubt if we could have much more interesting papers. T.he March meeting with Mrs. Lemon found us sewing on the layette and discussing prohibition and Buffalo's new mayor (an amusing sub­ ject, though . we are- ·ashamed to have it so). Dorothy Thompson gave us a glimpse into the fruitful lives• of · I·epnesent.ative· violinists, pianists, composers, and directors, wisely choosing two musicians from each field. On March 13 at Mrs. Linger 's house the married Sigmas entertained their husbands at a St. Patrick's card party. The purpose of the evening was to get better acquainted all around, a11d from all reports the effort was delightfully successful. GRACE R. FOSTER. 404 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

CHICAGO ALUMN.lE CHAPTER One of the most enjoyable events of the winter season in the Chicag·o .Alumnre Chapter was the Panhellenic luncheon at the Drake Hotel, \Yhen over 300 Greek-letter women assembled for the social and prandial amenities offered. The speake1· for the occasion was Miss Genevieve Forbes, feature writer for the Chicago T1·ibune, who had just returned from Ireland disguised as an immigrant. Her personality and the story she had to tell of conditions at Ellis Island were even more impressive as she spoke than in her widely-read newspaper series. When the presi­ dent of Panhellenic announced that day a rising I'Oll call the ten Sigmas present tried to look as extensive as possible and wished for tlie rest of their chapter when they saw the groups of :fifty and sixty from other sororities. Card parties, however, seem to be the standard event of the Chicago chapter. After discussing the wide :field fo1· local philanthropic work it was decided that nowhere could our efforts :till a greater need than in supplying materials for the workshop in -the government hospital for ex-soldiers at Maywood. Dorothy Stl'Oker had personally investigated conditions at the hospital, and enthusiastically accepted the chairman­ ship of a card party given at the Colonial Club in Oak Park. In spfte of a rain that afternoon a large crowd attended and the event was de­ clared a social as well as :financial success with $25 raised for the cause. Oak Park is becoming more and more a center for the activities of the chapter. One of our lovliest parties was given by Alice Carlson at the home of her sister, Mrs. W. G. Homby, and with the coming· to Chi­ cago of Florence ·wine she and her sister have taken an apartment in Oak Park and have promised a rushing party for high school g·irls as a sp'i·ing event. And now all eyes are tumed toward the 110rth suburb in anticipation of the July climax for om year's work- convention in Evanston. The :first gestme toward that fulfillment will be in the form of a reception to the Triangle Club of Northwestem at the home of Rena Fuganl on Saturday, April 22...... LOIS M . WIKE. CENTRAL OHIO ALUMN.lE CHAPTER Address- 115 W. 11th Ave., Columbus, Ohio The March meeting of the chapter was held at the home of Lillian Beatty. A surprise was in store for most of us when we arrived there. As assisting hostess we were delighted to see Mildred Beatty Miller from Detroit, who was visiting at her home for a week. Another out-of-town guest and member was present, Bessie Haymes Lamont of Salem. Bes- WITH Oua ALUMN.LE CHAPTERS 405 sie 's smile was a joy to see again. Come often, Sisters Mildred and Bessie. Since our last bit of news published in the TRIANGLE one of our deai'­ est sisters, Elma Williams Burkett, died after several weeks of illness. Elma was a charter member of Chi Chapter and of Central Ohio Alumnoo Chapter. Elma was always an inspiration to us; her smile could win when efforts would fail; she was a willing and ever·ready Sigma, un­ tiring in all she undertook. She was a marvel to us in all she accom­ plished in her home and outside of her home. Elma was our competent p1·esident and leader. Her heart and soul were in Sigma's interest. It was hard to give her up when she left us. 'Vhen she· was sick we all felt that she must live to be the wonderful mother that she had always been to her three babies, to the new baby who is doing nicely. To have knowll Elma and to have had her so close to us the few years we knew her will eYer 1·emain a memory to help guide us in our sisterhood. To the bereaved ones, her husband, mother, father, sisters, and brother, we, Central Ohio Alumnoo Chapter of Sigma Kappa, extend our sincerest sympathies. To Sister Naomi Avey, we, Central Ohio Alumnoo Chapter of Sigma Kappa, extend our heartfelt sympathies in her recent sorrow, the death of her father. Yours in Sigma, HELEN EISELE COOIC 907 S. Champion Ave., Columbus, Ohio.

DALLAS ALUMNJE CHAPTER Address-Box 26, S. M. U., Dallas, Texas Dallas Alumn oo just has so much business to consider that it's hard to get it all in with just one meeting a month. At least that is the ronsta11t cry of om secretary, Mrs. Dinsmore vV. Hume. The chapter is intending to put 01i a rummage sale to see if we can't duplicate our success of last year. Money for the Maine Sea Coast Mission is our aim, of course. At the J~nuHry meeting with Ruth Eyman 'Winkler the chapter an­ nounced for Carita Crist her engagement to James P. Owen, K A (S). 406 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE

And some time later, at Helen Mcintosh's, we joh1ed with Sigma Chapter and gave a shower for her. Hats came up from Waco to play the wed· ding march when she was ma.rried on February 17, and Ermine Stone was also in the bridal party. Corita is living in WacO> now, bu.t she came up for the F ebruary and April meetings. Mattie Lou Frye is our newest member. She is out of school temporar· ily to put more time on her music, and so she is ·coming to alumme meetings. In preparation for the homecoming which Dallas Alumnre and Sigma Chapter are going to celebrate together in June, we have had on a letter campaign. As a result, all of those girls who do not belong to either chapter are being bombarded with letters. W e have had news from some that we had not heard from in years. As we always bring the letters to meeting, it makes the whole chapter f eel that we are getting back in touch again. Some of this news we are offering you in our personals. ERMINE STONE, '21.

INDIANAPOLIS ALUMNJE CHAPTER The F ebruary meeting was held at Tau chapter·house, Bloomington, Ind. After the usual program of initiation in the aftemoon and ban· quet in the evening the official alumnre meeting was held. · Besides en· joying the S(!Cial side of their stay at Bloomington,. all the alumnre mem· bers left feeling they had a new bond and vitai interest in Tau 'C haptPr because it was at this meeting that the question of purchasing a new home was settled.

After discussing the project pro and con it was decided to organize a board of directors and buy the house. All are looking forward to om next meeting in our new home.

PUGET SOUND ALUMNJE CHAPTER (Late for llfarch Issue) Of course those of ~-ou who have noticed that '"e haw not had a letter in the TRIAKGLE for some time will think that we ha•e died or lost interest. Not so, for this year we are having larger meetings than we ever have had. We arc very proud of our membership and attendance this year and are particularly pleased to see the number of younger girls who are taking an interest. This year Puget Sound Alumnre and the active chapter have worked together in close co-operation, not only in a business way but also in a social way. So far we haYe had two big meetings together. The first one was during rushing week when the alumnre entertained at d inner for the rushees and active member~. Then in December Mu Chapter gave a big spread for the alumure during Homecoming Week. Besides, the alumnre were guests of honor at the informal dance g·iven by Mu last quarter. At these parties we had a large number of the gil-ls, but besides each alumna keeps in touch with the active chapter through lH'r daughter in the chapter. GERTRUDE PIIILIPS, '18.
