show, for we think this is a good way to spread a little happiness to
those who are less fortunate than we.

During the holidays we had a most enjoyable reunion in the frater-
nity rooms, when not only our last year's seniors but many of our
other alumna? were present, and the exchanging of experiences was
the order of the evening.

And now Pi is looking forward (not with any great amount of
pleasure it must be confessed) to mid-term examinations. We are
praying that we may be as successful in the coming fray as we hope
to be, for though last year the interfratemity scholarship cup was
won by Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Omicron Pi followed with a
close second, and we are hoping fervently to win first place this time.

To all our chapters Pi extends best wishes for a most successful
year.

NU—NEW YORK UNIVERSITY

N u Chapter has two new members to report, Helen Walker, '19,
and Marjory Langley Ryan (Mrs. Ryan), '19. They were asked to
join us last year, but as it was then very near the end of the college
year their initiation had to be put off until this autumn. After the
initiation we had a supper in our chapter-room to which so many
alumna: came that we had to spread out to two tables. We had a
very pleasant evening and a very interesting one, too, as Miss Ranlett,
who has just came back from France, was with us and gave us a talk
about her work among the blind French soldiers. She told us of
the many difficulties of printing and binding the Braille publications,
and brought some of the magazines to show us. They are printed
a large sheets of very thick paper, as that retains the indentations
better. The type looks something like the Morse code; it is a bewil-
dering maze of dots arranged in groups and seemed very confusing,
but Miss Ranlett assured us that it was not at all hard to learn. Miss
Rembaugh, Miss Fowle, Mrs. Helen Hoy Greeley, and many more
alumna: were also at the supper, and it was such a success that we all
wished we might have meetings like it more frequently. The trouble
is, however, that Nu Chapter, always busy, is more than every busy
this year. Many of the active members have regular occupations beside
the law school work; Mabel Shaw, Jessie Buchanan, and Edna
Rapallo are working in law offices, several of the other members
are teaching or studying something outside, and all of us are busy
with war work. Nearly one-third of the students of New York Uni-
versity are i n active service, and N u Chapter has been knitting
