TT H E SONG NUMBER POSTPONED
H E Editor is sorry that she was unable to f u l f i l l her promise,
and make this number of T o DRAGMA a Song Number. The
chairman of our Song Committee found the work of arranging
and compiling the songs impossible at just this time, and moreover
considers it best to wait for this number until more of the songs in
her possession have been tried out. A Convention is, of course, the
best place at which to try them, but i f in the opinion of Grand Council
it is best to postpone again the Convention on account of present war
conditions, we shall be tempted to rely upon Miss Knight's judgment,
ably assisted by the members of the Song Committee, and issue the
Song Number in November, 1918. Meanwhile, let us sing the songs
we have. The Editor especially recommends the Alpha 0 Toast and
Loyalty both of which may be found in the chapter's files of T o
DRAGMA. Alpha Phi and Tau second her recommendation by the
way in which they sing these songs. I t will be exceedingly difficult
for any chapter to surpass either of them in tone or volume!

T H E MAY NUMBER

W E H A V E already begun to dream of the May number, even in
a place where dreams are far more impossible than their f u l -
fillment. But in rare moments when we indulge in the dis-
tinct luxury of a relaxed frame and receptive mind, visions of this
next number come upon us. I t is to be called The Senior Number,
is to be issued two weeks earlier than usual because of prevalent early
commencements, and is to be dedicated to the Alpha O seniors of the
various chapters. The articles are to be commencement articles in the
biggest sense of the word; the Editorials, several of which, take
heart! will not be written by the Editor, will be devoted to the
interests and problems of seniors; the pictures—let us trust the To
DRAGMA treasury will allow pictures—will be those of the most
prominent seniors of the chapters, each chapter contributing one pic-
ture. Material for this number must be in the hands of the Editor
not later than April L Please read the Announcements for further
and more detailed information.

ALUMNAE SUBSCRIBERS TO T O DRAGMA

E L S E W H E R E in this number you have read, or may read, the
report of the Business Manager. The percentage of subscribers
from some of our chapters is not only discouraging, it is, to
speak frankly, disgraceful. For a chapter which has over one
