                                                                             I
      The Fiftieth Anniversary Number of the Alpha Phi Quarterly is
full of interest. It contains, among other well-illustrated reports upon
different phases of their Convention, last June, an account of the pageant
of the history of Alpha Phi called "Milestone" which concluded with a
procession of the years led by the founders, and made up of a representa-
tive of each of the f i f t y classes, each one carrying a lighted candle and
wearing the dress in which she graduated.
      This number also announces the raising of their $50,000.00 endowment
Fund.
      The Phi Gamma Delta is fostering a unique contest asking for con-
tributions under the Caption "My most Unusual Figi Experience," and
already some interesting meetings in the frozen North, in France, and in
the business world, have been chronicled.
      The December Sigma Kappa Triangle is an alumnae number and
besides interesting biographical and autobiographical sketches of the
prominent alumnae of each chapter is a contribution from each active
chapter under the heading "My Ideal Alumna." Alpha (Colby College,
Waterville, Maine) sends the following:

                  I cannot say whether she is
                  Tall or short
                  But I know that her eyes
                  Twinkle
                  And that she smiles often.
                  She comes to meetings
                  Occasionally
                  And to initiation
                  Always

                  And when we meet her on the street
                  She says
                  "How is everything?" and
                  "Tell me i f I can help."
                  Her interest is always
                  Genuine.

                  Furthermore, she is never
                  "Terribly offended"
                  I f some of us—
                  Poor forgetful things—
                  Fail to invite her to
                  Something. She
                  Understands, and
                  Comes anyway.

                  The things she does always make us
                  Proud of her;
                  And when she passes,
