unusually favorable conditions Kappa has been consistently prosperous. Kappa
members have done pioneer work in helping to found two other chapters and we
confidently expect them, since they have few problems of their own not only
to maintain high standards personally but to stand ready to give at least moral
support and encouragement to other chapters with more difficulties. Lynchburg
Alumnas chapter is made up largely of congenial friends from among Kappa's
associate members. Individually they take such an active part in church, civic and
college organizations, that with their families they find it difficult to launch an
additional program of chapter work. We ask from them a continued loyal support
of our national projects so that the strength born of life in their own "Happy
Valley" may contribute to the vigor of our whole body.

I t was a proud statement that one of our members made of her chapter:
" I have never known a member of chapter who did not leave better than
she entered." I t was spoken with deep feeling and not as a boast. Can every chapter
member say the same? I f she can, or if in humility and realizing her chapter's
failures she will resolve as far as in her lies to make it true for the future, the
aspirations of the founders and officers past and present will not have been vain.
