who have long been out of touch with fraternity affairs, we ex-
pect more. I t is largely in the hope of interesting some of
our unaffiliated members that this issue of T o D R A G M A is taking
the f o r m it is. W e hope that each one of you will respond to
its appeal and help us with this, one of the biggest things your
fraternity has yet attempted—the carrying into the world about
us the spirit underlying our fraternity structure.

CONCERNING ENDOWMENT
Kappa Alpha Theta has a large scholarship fund, the principal of
which is used for loans to aid undergraduates in completing their college
courses. The interest on the fund was originally designed to support
a fellowship for graduate work. The first fellowship under this plan,
carrying an annual stipend of $1,200.00, will be awarded in 1924 and will
be known as the Bettie Locke Social Service Fellowship, being named in
honor of the leader in the fraternity's group of founders.

Alpha Phi is trying further to increase her $50,000 Endowment Fund
by the sale of Colgate's Fab. Vassar's success in selling these soap flakes
encouraged Alpha Phi to undertake the proposition.

—Banta's Greek Exchange.

It is interesting to note that Tri Delta started its endowment fund
at the time the fraternity was founded, so that now when so many of us
are making supreme efforts to place our fraternities on a sound business
basis, they can say, "After only thirty-four years of organization, our en-
dowment funds are in excess of $60,000 and are so provided for that each
year automatically brings a substantial increase."—Anclwra of Delta
Gamma.

In June, 1922, at the Golden Jubilee, Alpha Phi went over the top
so that on her fiftieth birthday, an Endowment Fund of $50,000 became
a reality.—AIpha Phi Quarterly.

The Kappa Delta Sorority, founded in Virginia, represented by
seventy-four chapters all over the United States, is doing marvelous work
for the crippled children and have endowed three $600 beds, given num-
erous donations all during the past three years, and are loyal workers
with the board of the Crippled Children's Hospital.—Richmond Times
Dispatch.
