ALUMN/E CHAPTER LETTERS

SAN FRANCISCO ALUMN/E
T h e meetings o f the S. F . Alumnse Chapter were held regularly
during the summer months and were greatly enjoyed by those pres-
ent although, on account of the fact that many of the members
were away on their vacations, they were social rather than business
meetings. T w o of the meetings were held at the Sigma Chapter
House and once we were entertained by Genevieve Bingaman, at
her Oakland home.

Our September meeting was held at the Sigma Chapter House
and our new r i t u a l was used f o r the first time i n installing the offi-
cers f o r the present year. I n i t i a t i o n was also held, and Grace
Weeks and Emma Black were added to our number. The rest o f
the time was spent in discussing the question of definite national and
local alumna; work, a question in which this chapter is especially
interested, and one which we hope w i l l be decided before long.

I n October we were entertained by Kate Foster at her home i n
Berkeley. The chapter decided to try to encourage a higher stand-
ard of scholarship in the active chapters by presenting Sigma and
Lambda with loving cups, upon which the name of the member hav-
ing the highest college standing is to be engraved each year. We
hope that it w i l l be an incentive f o r greater endeavor.

A t present we are looking forward to our November meeting which
w i l l take us to b e a u t i f u l M i l l s College, where H e l e n H e n r y is to
entertain the chapters.

Boston Alumnae held the first meeting of the year September
twenty-seventh at the Woman's Educational and Industrial Union.
As most of us had not seen each other d u r i n g the summer, we had
all too little time to exchange greetings, compare vacation experi-
ences, and inquire about those not w i t h us. Vou can a l l imagine,
f r o m like occasions, what a chatter there was. Everyone seemed re-
