ideals it has before it, are felt by you all. Our heartiest good wishes
for success are sent by us to our sisters in A O IT.

BOSTON ALUMNAE

On Saturday, October 31, 1908, the Boston Alumnae Chapter of
A O IT was formally installed at the home of Helen A. Cook, 217
College Avenue, W. Somerville, Mass., by Alice Rich and Genevieve
Haven from the Delta chapter. After the installation and dinner,
a business meeting was held and the officers for the coming year
were elected.

Among other chapters to be represented in the Boston Alumnae
Association, are Gamma, by Agnes R. Burnham, and Maude B. Col-
cord, and Alpha, by Emma C. Birchenal.

Among the alumnae of Delta chapter are a number of girls who

Emma Paul Price, 202 Bernard Court, Madison, Wis., and Mrs.
Madge Anthony Reed, Maxon Road, Schenectady, N . Y.

To begin, a la David Copperfield, we were born, as an alumnae
organization in 1900. Since that time we have passed through var-
ious crises which have only served to bind us more closely together.
At present there are about sixty members in our chapter, but when
those who have not yet been able to come to initiations, have been
initiated into A O IT, our roll will be about seventy.

Our meetings are held on the last Saturday afternoon and even-
ing of each month, from September to June inclusive. The girls
