were back for the party. At ten o'clock, Monday, October 19, Theta
pledged seven fine girls, and from ten to twelve had "open house,"
following which dinner was served to all the chapter. We are proud
to introduce Pearl Wenger, Inez Gardner, Grace Norris, Estella
Montgomery, Loey Read, Leona Kelley and Fern Thompson.

We have eight girls at the chapter house and run our own dining
room, which was furnished by our birthday money.

Since you last heard from us, we have been very busy. Imme-
diately after the opening of the winter term last year, we entertained
the faculty ladies at an informal party, and later gave a formal party
for our town friends, faculty and students.

In February the college gave an "Athletic Carnival" and each
college organization was given a booth and asked to furnish some
form of amusement. We illustrated the Gibson pictures which took
greatly with the college people.

The greatest honor that has come to DePauw University lately
has fallen upon our president, Dr. Edwin H . Hughes, when he was
made bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church last spring. We
are glad to say DePauw has another new building on the campus, a
beautiful library, the g i f t of Andrew Carnegie. This building is
to be dedicated October 30, when all the bishops of the Methodist
Church will attend the services.

In March Anna May Stokley of Omicron spent a day with us and
in June, Ethel Carver, ex-'10, spent two days with Omicron.

In July several of the girls spent two weeks camping at Pine
Lake near the home of Mary Blair.

In August, Hazel McCoy entertained seven of Theta's girls at
her home in Greensburg.

Perhaps the greatest honor that can come to Theta is the presi-
dency of the Y. W. C. A. which is held this year by Margaret
Pyke, '09.

Bess Medbourn is studying elocution at Northwestern this year.
Irene Newman is attending Mrs. Blaker's Training School in
Indianapolis.
Cleo Ferguson is spending the winter in Arkansas for her health.
Of our last year's active girls, the following are teaching—Jennie
Farmer, Myrtle Spaulding, Florence Fields, Mabel Allen, Belle
McCready, and Delia Antrim.
Theta sends loving greetings to all Alpha's new chapters, new
as well as old.

DELTA, TUFTS COLLEGE

This being our first letter, we have a great deal to say but we
hope that instead of running over our alloted space we will follow
the motto of "Multus in Parvo."
