The Zwinglius Grover scholarship at the University of Chicago
has been awarded to Miss Helen Fisher Peck, 31 Ashland Boule-
vard, Chicago. The scholarship is endowed by the Alumnae Asso-
ciation of Dearborn Seminary, and is awarded each year to a Senior
College student as an evidence of "high scholarship and promise."—
Chicago, Illinois News Letter.

I t is hardly possible to put too much emphasis on the absolute
necessity for a businesslike administration of chapter finances. Care-
lessness and sliphod ways in this respect have wrecked the happiness
of more than one chapter, and the rocks lie jut beneath the surface
waiting for other heedless mariners in these waters.—Kappa Alpha
Theta. Quoted by Themis of Z T A.

Every sorority anxious to keep up and increase its strength, must
recognize the necessity of each year selecting girls who plan to take
the f u l l four years course. Four years' training in the affairs of
the sorority is none too long to insure alumnae who are sufficiently
well acqauinted with their organization to be able to further its
interests in a new and larger field.—2 K Triangle.

The University of Kansas is to enter the market as a manufact-
urer, according to Professor Griffith, of the department of painting
and design. Fine pottery is to be the product, and as soon as possi-
ble, Kansas clays will be used. Miss Maria Benson, the instructor
for the new department, is from the famous Newcomb potteries of
Tulane University at New Orleans. Thirty-four students are en-
rolled for the work.—Key.

As a child I used often to wonder what the Bible words: "A
house divided against itself," meant. Growing older I reasoned that
they probably referred to family dissensions. As a college girl, the
phrase applies itself always to fraternity life. The gravest reproach
that can be cast upon a chapter is that within it there is a lack of
unity, a failure to co-operate, petty jealousy and strife. Usually
this condition arises from misunderstanding.—Lyre A X Q.

I n the process of rushing, the girls we get are not the only prizes
we gain. During no other time is such a test put upon each girl to
show what she really is. Under all sorts of circumstances she learns
to make herself agreeable to strangers. She brings out all her pow-
ers to seek for a response in the rushee, and learns to use tact, con-
sideration and discrimination. The value gained from studying dif-
ferent personalities and quickly sizing up girls is great.—Arrow
