2 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

I t was in 1922, in what would have been her junior year
in college, that Grace was given the foreign exchange schol-
arship, and passed the year studying at Versailles in France.
She came back to Minnesota, after havmg spent that summer
in traveling through Germany, filled w i t h ideas and exper-
iences. From the time of her return to her graduation in the
winter of her senior year, Grace was president of the chapter
—one of the most efficient presidents, one may add, that T a u
ever has had. She graduated with a degree of Magna Cum
Laude, and with a Phi Beta Kappa key besides.

Psychology has been her most active interest always; it is
a productive outlet for her desire and her power to analyze
human nature. A t present, she is w i t h the National Child
Guidance Clinic at Minnesota, and she will go, w i t h them, to
Cleveland some time in the winter. T h a t w i l l be after she has
received her M . A . degree in psychology.

A l l this sounds like a cold and impersonal relation of facts,
—almost as though we were making capital of her achieve-
ments. But they fall into insignificance before the equal
reality of Grace as a friend and a sister. Her personality is
v i v i d , colorful—often magnetic. A l o n g w i t h the ability to see
clearly, to judge impartially, and to act with calm purposeful-
ness, there is an immense sympathy and a spirit of friendship
which inspires confidence and love—and awe. She is a favor-
ite among her sisters. A n d we say truthfully, that Tau seldom
has had a g i r l who has exerted a stronger influence upon the
chapter as a whole, or has been more of an inspiration to its
individual members.
