TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 201

H e r work in the house alone has been thorough and f a i r , and the girls have
responded w i t h a w i l l i n g eagerness which has accomplished great results.

Marguerite is Business Manager of the Daily Palo Alio, our Campus paper,
a distinct honor, as she is the first woman ever to hold that position. She is
also a member of Women's Conference, and of Theta Sigma Phi, the National
Women's Journalistic Fraternity. Her exceptional business ability, however,
does not detract f r o m her personal charm in the least. She is a member of
Cap and Gown, the society of women to which one is chosen f o r especial
prominence in college activities.

"Spike" holds a well won place not only in the hearts of her sisters, but of
her fellow students as well.

RHODA KELLOGG

TAU

Rhoda Kellogg came to the University of Minnesota already well known
among many college people of Minneapolis because of her musical activities i n
high school.

As a freshman i n college, she was prominent i n the freshman girls' organiza-
tion, Pinafore. She also became interested immediately i n the Suffrage Club
of the University. She became a member o f T a u in the middle of her sopho-
more year. This second year saw her become active in Acanthus, one of the
campus literary societies, and officer in the Equal Suffrage Club.

W i t h the opening of the f a l l semester of 1918, her junior year, she moved
to the chapter house to be manager, and stayed until the first of January. She
was appointed editor of the m i l i t a r y section of the 1920 Gopher. She was also
this year the president o f the Equal Suffrage Club, and vice-president o f the
literary society which she had joined the previous year.

I n January, 1919, she went to Washington as a representative of the Alice
Paul Club, Minneapolis branch of the National Woman's P a r t y ; there she
participated in the activities of the suffragists who were t r y i n g so eagerly to
make the so-called American democracy of suffrage something more than a
name.

This, her senior year, has seen her chapter representative to the Forum, an
institution established this year to stimulate discussion and interest i n current
problems among the students of the University. A l l during her college course
she has earned at least part of her expenses.

She proved to be a valuable health asset d u r i n g the influenza epidemic i n
1918, acting as an exceptionally capable volunteer nurse.

I n the last year, she has read sixty-five books o f excellent literary, historical,
philosophical, and sociological merit in addition to her routine work. She is
an earnest and successful student, not only in her chosen field—sociology—but
also i n politics and economics.
