ing. I n the in-coming class there are certainly some splendid girls,
of whom any college might well be proud.

Two of our girls, Miretta Bickford, and Margaret Flint, are
the two girls who have been chosen to compete i n the sophomore
prize declamations on December third.

Mary E. Chase, '09, is soon to have a short story appear in The

American Boy.
Perhaps it may interest other Alpha O girls to know that Gam-

ma's camping party at Deer Isle, after commencement last June,
was all that could be wished. The weather was fine, and such good
things as we had to eat! We have only to mention lobsters and
clams ( ! ) to start the reminiscences. I wonder how many Alpha
O's know what good eating a flounder is,—and how much work it
is to prepare one. We had fish of all kinds, until one girl rebelled,
informing us that for one "she felt like an aquarium." We are
already making our plans for a second party next June.

Finally, in this, her first letter of the year, Gamma wishes to
extend her heartiest greetings to all the sister chapters, and especially
to the members of Rho, and wish them all, the happiest and most suc-

EPSILON. CORNELL UNIVERSITY

The list of membership of the five sororities of Cornell is as
follows: K A 0 10, K K T 7, A T 11, A * 12, A O n 11, and is
valid only t i l l the middle of November, when we are all counting
on chapter enrollment in proportion to our rushing efforts.

The Pan-Hellenic conference has restricted the number of rush-
ing parties given by each fraternity to three, one large party, that
may be attended by all the members and as many rushees as desired,
and two small ones, at which four fraternity girls and an indefinite
number of "eligibles" may be present. Besides these official parties
the individual girls may give as many informal breakfasts, candy-
pullings, etc., as they wish, provided that at no party of this sort,
there be more than three girls of the same fraternity. Epsilon is
very busy, very happy and very confident.

Our most splendid piece of news this year so far, is the election
of Catherine Allen to the senior presidency; our next subject for
congratulation is Catherine Donlon, because of her efficient service
as vice-president of the sophomores. Other honors are not yet out
but we have our eyes upon several positions that we feel certain
A O IT girls are most capable of filling.

Like all our sister chapters, we feel keenly the loss of last year's
seniors, "take them for all in all, we shall not look upon their like
again." But this busy season fortunately leaves us little time for
