EDITORIALS Emma Harper Turner Grand Council wishes to express for themselves and for the Fraternity at large a very deep and si ncere SOrrow for the death of Emma Harper Turner, Indiana A and District of Columbia A. he had been ill since she received serious injuries in an accident in the Fall, and Grand Council had kept in close touch with her condition through Lo;" Finger, the Council member living nearest to Miss Turner's recent home in Los Angeles, and had stood by, ready to render any aid that might have been necessary. Unfortunately, when she died on January 31 , Grand Council was not informed of her death until Mrs. Finger rtturned home from a round of chapter visits, several days later, so that no member of Council could attend the funeral as a last tribute, but the Fra­ ternity was well represented by a number of members who heard of her death. Elsewbere in thIS issue, Blanche Charlton Curtis, Massachwetts A, who was much with Miss Turner in her last illness, has written of her life and work. The Editor wishes to add a personal word of deep gratitude. For many years, Miss Turner's ioterest in every member of District of Columbia Arpha was very real and many Pi Phis, like the Editor, learned from her what a frater­ nity might mean in life, and were always better Pi Phis and perhaps, too, better women, because of her e:xample of devotion to the ideals of Pi Beta Phi. Throughout her life, many of her dearest friends were Pi Phis, and after the death of her sisters, her last years were made happy by the companionship and loyalty of Martha Noble Carter, also a charter member of Indiana Arpha.
