ing over last year, discussing our difficulties, rejoicing in our t r i -
umphs, and laughing at our jokes, till now the library clock calls
me back to the present and this blank tablet.

To begin at the beginning, the installation of Epsilon chapter
took place on Thursday evening, April 23, 1908, at the residence
of Mrs. Fred. J. Pritchard, 530 E. State Street, Ithaca, N . Y. Mrs.
George Vincent Mullan, Alpha, '98, Grand President of A O I I ,
conducted the service, and Miss Edith G. Dupre acted as sponsor
for the following initiates: Roberta Estella Pritchard, Anna Allen,
Catherine Moore Allen, Josephine Britton, Ethel Davis, Anna B.
Genung, Margaret Graham, Lottie M . Ketcham and Isabelle Stone.
After the installation, a business meeting was held, the following
officers being elected: president, Roberta Pritchard; vice-president,
Anna Genung; recording secretary, Catherine Allen; corresponding
secretary, Lottie Ketcham; treasurer, Anna Allen; members of the
Grand Council, Margaret Graham and Josephine Britton.

In May, Maria Woodhull Richards was elected to membership,
and the celebration closed our activities for the year.

Now who are we: Roberta Pritchard is working for her Ph.D. in
social science. Anna Allen, '09, spends her time pulling flowers to
pieces, and making cross sections of embryonic pigs. Her sister,
Catherine, '10, amuses herself and gains university credit roaming
about the gorges. She talks wisely on the subject of glaciers and
is an authority on lunches. Josephine Britton, graduate, sits in the
French seminary looking wise; we are all hoping that next year the
faculty will give her a Ph.D. Ethel Davis is trying to make a record
in languages. She speaks English, German, French, Spanish and
Italian equally badly. Anna Genung, '08, is another language
grind, with the accent on phonetics. Margaret Graham botanizes in
her sleep. Lottie Ketcham, '10, is the third of the modern language
trio, and Isabelle Stone, graduate, knows so much Greek she is
developing a classic profile.

Our activities and honors are numerous, especially our activities.
Anna Allen is interested in the "Sports and Pastimes," Cath-
erine is also a Sport and Pastime, besides being a member of the Sage
Dramatic Club, a member of the class committee, and a member of
the '10 Stunt Committee. Ethel Davis assists the Dante Club and
the Deutscher Verein to spread the appreciation of foreign literature,
Anna Genung is on the executive committee of the student govenment
association, and belongs to a few foreign language clubs. Isabelle
Stone, $ B K, is at present in Greece on a traveling fellowship, and
is devoting herself to inscriptions and postals. Josephine Britton,
