f u t u r e A O EC's pictures, our babies (we may even make the boys, members
by marrying them to our girls); and, album upon album of active chapter
pictures, clippings, logs, et cetera. I t was a fine exhibit, and i t was such
fun to see M r s . Perry's j o y over i t .

The Extension Officer was an Alumnae District Superintendent during
the last four years—Nell Fain Lawrence ( N u O m i c r o n ) . N e l l was so
busy w i t h her trousseau and pre-nuptial business that she had to forego
convention this year. W e missed her f o r she's been a regular attendant
for some years. Perhaps the Lawrence on her name surprised you. On
September 10 Nell became M r s . John Seward Lawrence, and now she's a
neighbor of Joanna Huntington in Rochester, New York. Her husband
is associate professor of medicine at the University of Rochester, School
of Medicine. N o doubt our past policy of expansion will be carried on.
The Grand Council approved the Canadian universities, McGill, Univer-
sity of Toronto, University of Manitoba, and the University of British
Columbia; Duke University at Durham, North Carolina; Iowa State
College at Ames; University of Wyoming, Laramie; and the University
of Texas at Austin as fields of expansion.

A n illuminating set of graphs was further proof of M u r i e l Turner
M c K i n n e y ' s ( L a m b d a ) , efficiency and real ability. She is to act as Ex-
amining Officer again. Muriel had made a comparison of chapter and
district averages in fraternity examination grades for the past ten years.
She feels that a more careful study plan would benefit a number of chap-
ters. N o doubt you'll have many helpful suggestions f r o m her ere long.
Follow them carefully because M u r i e l has a keen appreciation of the
sort of preparation necessary for the proper understanding of fraternity
history and relationships. Muriel's interest isn't all in fraternity work—
she has a bouncing young son who demands attention, too.

One of the nicest things we could wish for all of you would be that
some day you will have the pleasure of meeting Pinckney Estes Glantz-
berg (Psi), that South Carolinian lawyer who is our Panhellenic delegate.
Pinckney's is a rare personality. Y o u are fascinated by her keen mind
and quick w i t , b y her sympathetic insight and her sense of humor.
Wherever we went at convention, she was surrounded by a group of
girls begging her to tell a story. Her stories are about southern negroes
and i n her drawling accent, they're charming as well as f u n n y . T o us
the most interesting g i f t she possesses is her ability to make us laugh
until we almost choke, and the next instant to make us swallow hard to j
keep the tears back. Pinckney's humor is an art.

As for the editor of T o DRAGMA, may the magazine speak for her!]
She has given her best during the biennium just completed; we hope
her experience can help her in doing better during the next two years.
Y o u may be interested to know that she is now at home i n the heart of
f r a t e r n i t y journalism, Menasha, Wisconsin. M r . Leland has accepted ai
position w i t h the George Banta Publishing Company, and so there should
be many close contacts w i t h other fraternity editors during the years
to come. We almost forgot to say that Nancy A n n , another three-year
old, proudly displays a non-descript pin worn just over her heart which
she calls her " w h o r i t y p i n , just like mumie's."
