2.30 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA O MIC RON PI

Alpha Omicron Pi." The second fellowship is to be known as the "Alpha
Omicron Pi Fellowship in memory of Ruth Capen Farmer." The crea-
tion of the second fellowship and the new basis of making the awards
assure one award being made outside of the fraternity and one among
its members. Out of the many applications received during the two years
previous to Convention, the award in each year had gone to a member of
Alpha Omicron Pi because, in each instance, her qualifications were con-
sidered by the Committee to be higher than those of the other applicants.
The first award was made to Thelma Brumfield, Epsilon, and the second
to Wilkie Hughes, Beta Phi.

Miss Elizabeth Heywood Wyman is Chairman of the Fellowship
Committee and will gladly furnish further information concerning the
awards.

WHITE VEILS
I never saw the snow so strange as this,
It whirls and whirls, until, with just a kiss
Upon the earth's warm lips, a touch so light
I t gives, that scarce is left a fleck of white.

I t cannot be that I am really where
These larger snow-flakes hover through the air,
Like veil'd spirits from another sphere,
To glide in mystic silence 'round us here.

The very stream's enchanted with their charm,
Its freezing waters almost seem to warm,
A happy song of welcome forth it sends,
How lonesome it would be without these friends.

The mushroom villages are made for you
To flutter 'round about and vanish through;
I know not veils from flakes when day is done,
The cold moon silvers all and makes you one.
