212 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

A COMMUNICATION FROM THE LYNCHBURG

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

To the Editor of To DRAGMA of Alpha Omicron Pi,
Dead Madam:

The Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce wishes at this time to
extend a hearty welcome to the members of the Alpha Omicron Pi
sorority who will be in our city at the sorority Convention in June.

Situated among the foothills of Virginia, in a section of the United
States as famous as any other for its many points of scenic and
historic interest, we believe that we can assure to those who come
among us a visit that will be remembered with pleasure for a long
time to come.

Lynchburg is located on the historic James River about two
hundred miles from the Atlantic seaboard, and the river views in
the neighborhood of the city are very beautiful. I n addition to this,
the Peaks of Otter and other prominent mountains of the Blue Ridge
Range form a wonderful background on the western side of the
city.

A number of noted institutions of learning are in and near our
city. These include Randolph-Macon Woman's College, Virginia
Christian College, and Sweet Briar College for Young Women,
which is only twelve miles in the country.

There are in Lynchburg a large number of handsome residences
and other interesting buildings. I n the immediate neighborhood of
the city are several improved highways leading in the different
directions.

I n closing we wish to say we trust this Convention will be a very
successful one, and that this organization stands ready to contribute
in every way in its power to that end.

Yours very truly,
LYNCHBURG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

THOS. A. SCOTT, Secretary.

(The Editor wishes to announce that the Lynchhurg Chamber of Commerce
very kindly contributed the excellent cuts of Lynchburg views shown in this
issue. The fraternity is certainly grateful for this kindness.)
