TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI IS

While Dorothy was here we held our annual elections, the results
being as f o l l o w s : President, A l d a n a Q u i m b y ; Vice-president,
Helen Vollmer; Treasurer, Nora Starke; Librarian, Alice Clark;
Secretary, Elizabeth Smart. We also initiated a new member, Mrs.
Helen Millicent Williams, a Wellesley Alumna, and a splendid addi-
tion to our chapter. We have two "Honorable Mentions" to report
f r o m last year's examinations—Helen Vollmer and Nora Starke.
Alice Clark took her degree in June.

V i r g i n i a Mollenhauer now has her o w n office at 2178 Grand Ave.,

University Heights.
We were sorry to learn that our sister chapter i n Barnard has re-

ceived her sentence. We feel that it is a step which the College it-
self w i l l come to regret. Those virtues which the narrowed circle
of the f r a t e r n i t y preserves f o r college l i f e are not so easy o f attain-
ment in the busy communistic existence of a big college and unless
the faculty take upon themselves some other means o f carrying on the
work of the fraternity, we fear that they will find perhaps too late
that something fine has died out o f their college atmosphere which
it w i l l not be easy to replace. T h a t the f r a t e r n i t y system has its
faults we w o u l d be the last to deny, but we feel that these faults
are more often due to the imperfections in ourselves than i n the fra-
ternity system.

Greetings to you f r o m our Omicron c r o w d ! We are just be-

ginning the new term and i t promises to be a grand year f o r old

U . T . T h e H i l l is f a i r l y overflowing w i t h students, a great number

of course, being the freshmen. A n d what sports some of them are!

W i t h their green hats and latest style suits, they make quite a show.

We do not yet know our number, f o r matriculations are still going on,

but we do know that Barbara Blount, our girls' dormitory, is already

f u l l e r than ever before, and that seven states are represented beside

our own!

Oh, and I must tell you about last spring, when Dorothy Noble

Safford was with us! O f course we looked forward to her visit

w i t h much anticipation, f o r we were a l l eager to see " w i t h our own

eyes" our noted grand president; but still ( I can own i t now, since

we have really seen f o r ourselves) we had a l i t t l e feeling o f dread—

understand? But how soon i t was a l l gone! f o r we straightway

f o u n d that she was j u s t a g i r l , too, only an unusually w o n d e r f u l and
