38 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

and can't possibly come, you will want to spend it on a subscription to
the convention newspaper, that will be next best to being there yourself.
We will have all four Founders with us, many actives, ideal conditions
and heaps of Grand Officers, past and present. In fact, everything will be
just grand. Talk convention to your chapters and your alumnae and send
a big delegation.

T K 1919, T H E F I R S T L I F E subscription was received for To D R A G M A ; at
* the time this issue goes to press, there are 621 such. If, in the coining
five years the increase is proportional, 1929 will see the life subscription
list numbering 1200. This means that the endowment fund will be cor-
respondingly larger, that the magazine itself will be better because more
money can be spent on it, and that Alpha Omicron Pi will have twelve
hundred members who will, because they are to receive her official pub-
lication four times a year for life, always retain their active interest in
their fraternity. The fraternity owes to Carolyn Fraser Pulling, who, by
her untiring efforts, added 198 names to the list, and, besides, worked out
the present compulsory life subscription plan, a great debt of gratitude.
During the next two years (1921-1923), June Kelley, who succeeded
Carolyn, increased the list by 175 names. 248 names have been added
during the present administration. A life subscription to To D R A G M A
draws interest for the subscriber and for the Endowment Fund. Use the
blank at the end of this number.

' ~ | ~ , I I E F O L L O W I N G resolution of the Executive committee is printed in
order that the fraternity at large might understand just how the last

issue of To D R A G M A was financed:
Resolved that; the September 1924 (National Work) number of To

D R A G M A be sent to every member of the fraternity; that each active
chapter, Nu excepted, be assessed at cost for copies sent their non-sub-
scribing members; that the Grand Treasurer collect these assessments and
reimburse the Business Manager when collections are made; that the
Grand Treasurer pay, from the National Treasury, for copies sent to non
subscribers of Alpha, Nu, and Beta.
