OPEN PAN-HELLENIC LUNCHEON
A luncheon, open to members of the fraternities of the National Pan-
Hellenic Congress was held in the Patten gymnasium, Evanston, III., Satur-
day October 18, 1913, at one o'clock.

Those present numbered four hundred and sixty-nine, an increase of
seventy over the attendance of last year.

Miss Thompson, chairman, presided as toastmistress and the following
toasts were responded to most pleasingly:

Vocational Possibilities for College Women Miss Lena G. Baldwin, A S A .

Sophomore Pledge Day Miss Louese Monning, * M.

Some Impressions of the Blackstone Meetings Miss Polly Fenton, A S A .

Hostility to Fraternities—Its Cause and Cure. .Mrs. E. N . Parmelee, A A A .

The Possibilities of City Pan-Hellenics Mrs. L. F. Carpenter, K A 8 .

The Outlook in Pan-Hellenism Mrs. Edward R. Loud, A X O .

(Given by Miss Florence Armstrong, A X O )

The absence of Mr. Banta, on account of illness, was noted with regret.

President Harris, another guest of honor was also unable to be present.

The Congress was happy in having as its guest Miss Potter, Dean of

Women of Northwestern University, who spoke in an interesting manner

of the relation of college women and fraternities.

EDITORS' AND BUSINESS MANAGERS' CONFERENCE
Thirteen editors and three business managers assembled for an informal
conference Thursday morning, October 16, at ten o'clock. Those fra-
ternities whose editors were unable to be present, were represented at this
conference by the council officers. The whole field of fraternity journalism
—purpose and methods—was open for discussion and much profitable inter-
change of ideas resulted. I t is thought that the Editors' Conference will
become a permanent feature, alternating with the Presidents' Conference
organized last year.
