tion. One delightful event of the holidays was a reunion party
given by Marian Darville for all the Epsilon girls living in the
vicinity of Brooklyn. Marguerite Hallstead, '10, Melita Skillen,
'11, and Mildred Mosier, '11, were present. You may be sure that
the eight of us who were there talked at a rapid rate trying to put
into a few hours the news of the past year.

But vacation is over; "Black Week" with its examinations is near;
and we are all ready for a month of good hard work. However,
we have not entirely lost the holiday spirit and we wish you all a
very happy New Year.

RHO, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

Since our last letter many things have happened at Northwestern.
I n the first place, we have two fine pledges to announce, Lydia
Shirk and Estella Martin.

Then we initiated a senior, Dora Johnson, a junior, Edith Shultz
and two sophomores, Cora Hollen and Helen Shipman. We were
so sorry that Mrs. Farmer was unable to be with Rho at this
initiation but we greatly enjoyed her visit with us and were helped
by her advice and encouragement. And weren't we all proud of
her at our reception!

Coila Anderson and Julia Fuller have been initiated into Alethenai
literary society and Arie Kenner into Eulexia.

Helen Shipman has just become a member of the Helen Club
and Julia Fuller a member of Sigma Sigma, the intersorority sorority.
Caroline Power is president of the Anonian literary society. Ruby
Rapp, Julia Fuller, and Coila Anderson are members of the 1914
Syllabus board.

L o u Chace is attending Nebraska, Edna Allen is at the Univer-
sity of Iowa and Genevieve Spang is at Illinois Wesleyan. Peggy
Pittman is traveling in the South with her parents. Barbara
Minard has been staying at home in Blue Island, Illinois, this year.

Northwestern feels very keenly the loss of one of our finest men.
Professor J . Scott Clark, who died December 28. He was the head
of the English language department at Northwestern, the author
of several valuable books on that subject, and a wonderful scholar.
Not only because of his great ability will Northwestern miss him
but with faculty and students he was a genial favorite, and though
others may be found to assume his duties, no one will fill his place
in the hearts of Northwestern people.
