0 U.C.L.A. received trays. The gifts this year will be awarded at a tea in
October. Representatives of the active chapters will be guests.

c We shall also continue our round table discussions on alumnae prob-
s lems. We had two such discussions last year, and they met with much
- favor. The organizations realize that we all have problems in common,

and the fact that we belong to different groups does not prevent our
e discussing them very frankly.

In December we plan to have a bridge tea at the new Alpha O house
in Westwood in order to further the friendship between the delegates and
alternates from the different organizations. We are hoping to draw
the associate members of National Panhellenic into our group, and with
short business meetings only once a month it is impossible to become
thoroughly acquainted with one another.

Los Angeles City Panhellenic has been criticized for not justifying
its existence. I t is somewhat difficult to know just what functions a
city Panhellenic should perform. I n many cities it exists merely as a
social organization. Where there is a city university, Panhellenic might
be of assistance to the local Panhellenic groups. I n Los Angeles, how-
ever, each national has a strong alumnae chapter which is able to render
assistance when needed, and such assistance is more appreciated than
that coming from a city Panhellenic organization. Consequently, the
need for a city group to aid in university affairs is not felt. I f a local
Panhellenic is weak, it may be because of its youth, and with delegates
carefully chosen, it can by its own experience, grow into an organization
sufficiently strong to handle its own problems. Music and art clubs,
and so forth, in a city of this size exist in sufficient number to satisfy
those so inclined. I f during the coming year the Los Angeles City Pan-
hellenic can increase its loan fund, attempt to stimulate interest in
scholarship, and promote intersorority friendships among the alumnae,
I shall feel that we have more than justified our existence.

From the earliest days of King's College, the problem of higher edu-

j cation in the province of Ontario, or Upper Canada has been complicated
by the existence of other universities or colleges, dependent on denomina-

tional support. First Victoria University, then Trinity University and

faint Michael's College obtained charters which entitled them to give
