TO DRAGMA. 55

Nu Chapter has grown stronger year by year, not only in num-
bers, but in interest in our fraternity itself. Starting, perhaps, with
the somewhat selfish view that N u must come first and Alpha Omi-
cron Pi as a whole only second, the feeling of nationality has gradu-
ally increased until to-day there is probably no chapter which holds
more generous views than N u , no chapter more ready to make sacri-
fices for the good of the whole, no chapter whose members do more
faithful work for the fraternity. Several members of N u have held
office on the Grand Council, notably Adelma H . Burd, Grand Pres-
ident from 1904-6. Adelma H . Burd, Bertha Rembaugh and Edith
Ives have successively held the office of Grand Treasurer. Helen
Hoy was the first editor of T o DRAGMA, a post now held by Jessie
Ashley, while Adelma Burd is the only one who has succeeded as
business manager of the magazine, though several undertook the
work before her.

In scholarship also N u stands very high. Among the winners of
first honors—competing with large classes of men—are Helen Hoy,
Bertha Rembaugh and Alice Dillingham, while many other N u girls
have taken second and third places on the honor list. Remembering
that the classes in the Law School number each from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred members, this means no small degree of
success.

The home life of the chapter has been most harmonious. The
active members are generally very busy girls, but they find time for
a little chapter sociability. Teas, dinners and lunches have been the
more usual forms of entertainment, but sometimes we have had
informal talks by members of the faculty or others. Dean Ashley
was once our guest in this way, M r . Frank Moss on another occa-
sion. Once we had a very jolly Christmas tree and we gave a large
luncheon to some visitors from Bryn Mawr College, one of whom,
Alice Day, afterward became a member of Alpha Omicron Pi.

One of the rules of N u Chapter is that at least once in two
years a group picture of all the active members of the chapter shall be
taken, one copy of which shall be framed and given to the Dean of the
Law School for the faculty room, one kept for N u Chapter room.
Two of these groups are reproduced in the present number of T o
DRAGMA, the first one taken and the latest, representing the present
chapter.

Perhaps one of the most interesting of Nu's doings was a debate
between N u Chapter and the Law Club of Bryn Mawr. This club
