Copyright, 1943, by Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity A NEW YEAR • • • A NEW LIFE Great-Granddaughter of a Kappa Founder

Frances Pattee Putnam (Mrs. Frank, Jr.), At.\-Mon- mouth, and Anne Pattee Putnam. H AT coULD be a lovelier symbol for a new year than this sweet, special Kappa baby, Wgreat-granddaughter and namesake of Anna Willits Pattee (Mrs. Henry H.), one of the four original founders of Kappa Kappa Gamma! In fact, Anne is the only great­ granddaughter of a Kappa founder, as her mother is the only granddaughter. Anne is a true war baby. She was born five days after Pearl Harbor, December 12, 1941, at San Diego, California, while her father, Captain Frank Putnam, Jr., was sta­ tioned at Camp Lockett. Anne has a "big brother," Reed, four years old. The Putnams are now living in Columbus, Georgia. · Come 1961 we'll hope the editor of THE KEY, whoever she may be, will be able to print a picture of Anne as the Kappa great-granddaughter of a Kappa founder.

Amherst, the where the installation activities of the town in which the college is located, new Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter, lies in the beautiful Connecticut valley and has as its focal point a typical New England elm-lined village green. In the background are the Pelham hills, the Holyoke range, and, more remotely, the foothills of the Berkshires, which, at our departure, were totally covered with the first winter snow: The activities of our new members are many· and varied. The president, Jean Brown, is a member of Isogon, the senior women's honor society, and many others are represented in the univer­ sity choir and dramatic society. The girls live in their own chapter house which they run as a cooperative house. Many of us met these girls for the first time at the lovely fireside service Friday evening, when 27 girls were pledged. All were much impressed with

"Kappa Has Put Very Much into My Life" N A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE from Mrs. Westermann, ritualist and past grand president:. I "Last week-end I was at Amherst acting as chaplain at the installation of Delta Nu. Almira (Mrs. McNaboe, historian and past grand vice-president) went up with me. She had been in Connecticut the week before. I have been counting my installations. I have conducted five and have been present at six more. Kappa has put very much into my life, has shaped it to a great degree." We might editorialize at length on that last sentence, which is true for many of us. It is true for Mrs. Westermann, af"!d for many other Kappas, because she and they have put so much of themselves into Kappa, have walked in progress along those straight and high paths marked out by the founders an~ early officers of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Mrs. Westermann's statement reminds us of a young undergraduate from Denison university who was asked to speak briefly from the pulpit of his church the last Sunday in December, observed as "Christian Education Sunday." The young man mentioned his fraternity life. Talking to him afterward, we learned that he was a member of

Stratton, on leave of absence as dean of women at Purdue university, remem­ bered by Kappas as the 1940 conven­ tion keynote speaker. Probably· the only woman to have served with all three women's divisions of the armed services during the United States' first year of the war, Commander Stratton was appointed early last year to the area selection board for the W AACs. Last summer she became a lieutenant in the WAVES, and when the decision was made to organize a Coast Guard auxiliary, Lieutenant Stratton of the WAVES was asked to take over as Lieutenant-Commander of Photo by J.

VA DEAN, initiated by A-Akron in 1889, has sent to the fraternity's central Eoffice for display in the case of early Kappa jewelry and insignia a key stick pin, first of its type to have been added to the collection. Ella Titus, 4>~Boston, has sent the second degree insignia which belonged to the late Emily Bright Burnham (Mrs. Addison C.), 4>, fifth grand president. Mrs. Burnham, then Emily Bright and grand secretary from 1888 to 1892, had been active in establishing a second degree of fraternity membership based on an examination "covering the history, principles, policy and needs of the fraternity," to quote from the history. The examination could be taken only at convention or council session. Three such examinations were given between 1892 and 1896, after which the second degree was diScontinued. As a founder of the degree, Mrs. Burnham had a pearl-set fleur-~e-lis, somewhat larger than the ruby-set emblem worn by the 33 Kappas who attained the degree. These gifts to the fraternity are acknowledged with gratitude and appreciation. . 35 . charge of entertainment and recreation for both the W AACs and the 1,500 Army men kept on the post to train the WAACs. Last July Billie was married to Lieu­ tenant Wright, stationed at Camp Dodge. The Wrights, having obtained permission to live off their respective posts, have an apartment in Des Moines, where Billie has helped Des Moines alumnre in contacting Kappa W AACs. She says that the Des Moines Kappas have been doing a wonderful job of entertaining for the W AACs.

Women Urged to Stay in College, if Possible

RECOGNIZING the extent to which the draft will draw upon the colleges of the United States for manpower, "the present• security of colleges, therefore, rests largely upon women," states the NPC Committee on Information on War and College Women, of which the members are Mary Love Collins, X n, chairman; L. Pearle Green, K A e, and Mary B. Merritt, M. The War Manpower Commission's adviser, Dr. Brown, is of the opinion that "All college women should continue in their advanced education in preparation for those careers which others less qualified are not able to undertake. While this ·plan is not romantic or spectacular, I believe it is the wisest one, and one which I hope that women students will follow." The NPC committee underscores this with the st~tement that "On the b~sis ?~ intelligence tests and income statistics the number of women m our colleges and umvers1t1es could be almost doubled. The women's Greek letter societies have a rare opportunity to give meaning and value to education. And among our responsibilities is the one of helping college women be examples of stability in a difficult period, and helping them in attaining a clear sense of purpose." Pan hellenic Bonds . . .

Officer's Address 50 The Key of Kappa Kappa Gamma

The Army and Navy Recreational Units are local committees, voluntarily appointed by their alumnre organizations, to promote recreation for women in the armed forces of Canada and the United States, i.e.: WAVES, WAACs, SPARS, WAFS, Army and Navy Nurses, etc. These committees may be small or large, and their projects vary from giving work-hours at a Service Women's USO to maintaining their own fully staffed Kappa lounge and information center. THESE UNITS ARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL SERVICE WOMEN, KAPPA OR NON-KAPPA. If your organization wishes information on participating in this national alumnre war effort, please write to the Army and Navy chairman.
