Mrs. Lawrence H. Shepard, Executive Secretary American Farm School Thessalonica, Greece Dear Mrs. Shepard:

Sigma Kappa is happy to enclose its check _in the amount of $2,400.00 (Two Thousand Four Hundred Dollars) in order to provide scholarships for four girls at the American Farm School at Salonica, Greece, for one year. We hope that this will be for these girls a never-to-be-forgotten year made poss­ ible for them by the college women of Sigma Kappa who are so keenly interested in the wel­ fare of all the world. Sigma Kappa is looking forward eagerly to hearing about the four Greek girls who are our proteges in the school and the 3orority is planning to widen the scope of its work for these girls as time goes on. The members of Sigma Kappa extend to your organization its best wishes for a very Successful and Ha ppy New Year.

Cordially,

Co(Jel' ~clure-BraJfe'! Uni(Jef'jil'! Campuj Scene Bradley University was founded in 1897 by Lydia Moss Bradley with the aid of Dr. William Rainey Harper, first president of the University of Chicago, and Dr. John Dewey, famed philosopher and educational pioneer. Known originally as Bradley Polytechnic Institute, it entered the un~versity field in the summer of 1946 with the establishment of Bradley College, Laura College, Technical College, College of Fine Arts, and Peoria Junior College as its major subdivisions. Present enrollment .at Bradley this year will be close to 7,000, including extension and evening school divisions. Regular day school enrollment is about 3,400. Bradley has a wide reputation, especially in the fields of fine arts, industrial education, and home economics. Its school of business offers as complete a business training as most of the outstanding large universities. Just beginning its expansion of organized houses, Bradley at present has three national social fraternities: Beta Phi Theta, Lambda Chi Alpha, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and six local social fraternities. National social sororities are Chi Omega, Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa. Our Beta Nu chapter was installed last spring at Bradley.

DECEMBER, 1947 53 as long as it meant being together, and pitched camp in the basement, the only part of the house which was liveable. Using the recreation room for a dormitory; the smok· ing room for a living room, dressing room, dining room, and what have you ; the laundry tubs in the laundry room for bath tubs; all pipes running along the cei ling for a place to hang our clothes, we lived out of suitcases and trunks for the first three weeks of school. The rest of the girls lived in private homes and with alumna! members. Realizing that it would be impossible to use the house for rushing, but being necessary to participate in the formal rush period, we accepted the invitations of Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Nu, Sigma Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Delta Upsilon fraternities to use their houses for the various rush functions. We furnished the refreshments and entertainment, using their house and house boys to serve. At the end of the rush period, most of them never having actually been in the chapter house, twenty-one girls were pledged. One of these girls is Doris Norton, daughter of Florence Norton, l:K. Pledge Anna Mehelis was on the Homecoming bonfire committee and pledge Ann Pastulovich was one of the three freshman girls chosen to be on the lower division council for two years. Pledge Lois Propst was co-chair· man of a Homecoming dance committee. Oct. 4 a few of us ventured to Seattle to sTheta Chi fraternity house. For Dad's day we escorted our fathers to the football game, then to dinner and a dance. Since we've moved back into most of the rooms in the house, we've had exchange dinners with an inde­ pendent hall and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Oct. 18, formal initiation was held in our new chap­ ter room on the third floor and was followed by a formal banquet. That evening the new initiates and the rest of us danced at an all-school dance in the men's gym. Seniors Marge Steinhart and Peggy Smith represent us on campus as student body secretary and on Mortar Board, respectively.
