An exceedingly interesting letter from Rebecca Chilcott Jackson
of Minneapolis was read. She speaks in very high terms of the
hospitality and executive ability of the girls of Tau chapter. They
seem to have surmounted almost insurmountable obstacles and come

We are glad to report that definite steps have been taken toward

such a chapter so near us will be a great inspiration to Gamma and
we are hoping for its realization in the immediate future.

Again, we extend to you the season's best greetings.

have already been held, and a petition has been drawn up which nineteen girls
have now signed. We hope to be installed some time this spring, and we plan
to help materially the chapter and the college.

The active chapter has offered a scholarship of $30 to be given annually to
a Maine girl. The faculty decided that it should be given to a sophomore,
the requirements to be scholarship and general need. It is to be called the
Elizabeth Balentine Scholarship, and it is the first one ever given by a group
o f girls at this institution.

During the Christmas vacation Zella Colvin, (who couldn't go home because
1 1 is a long way from Maine to Indiana) and Doris Currier gave an A O I I
