EXPLANATORY,

It had been the fate of the humble editor of the present issue to serve as a "stop-gap," and like imperial Cresar "keep the wind away," till a worthy substitute could be found for Miss Selby's P9sjlion.

The breezd ,have touched us but lightly as yet. There have been ki.f'd -'postscripts added to formidable catalogue lists, and warm letters of encouragement from remote chap­ters. But, as the middle of September passes by, and pencil­scarred proof, new anil revised lists (with a married name to be tacked on "since we made out last list"), a troop of "de­grees," "employments," "belated addresses," come in after copy has been set up-the weather seems changing. We fancy light western breezes assuming the unmistakable form of bleak winds, and mild eastern zepbyrs turning into danger­ous cyclones.

We acknowledge our shortcomings. We ask your for­bearance. We bav8 endeavored to give, in a concise form, the names and addresses of all members of I. C. Sorosis. We have added to this degrees, and years of graduation as !urnished us by different chapters. It has been impossible to do this, in many cases, from the (act that much of such in­formation was sent too late for the printer's use. For this reason, our issue is already late in appearing. It has been our desire to deal justly by each chapter, and since all chap­ters did not interpret the demands of the June ARROW in the same way, it has been a difficult thing to do. We have on hand, and as yd unpublished, full histories of some. chapters. The material is good, and we would be ·glad to print it were

it possible to do so, in this issue. Hoping that the catalogue may prove of practical service to I. C's., we thank you for the hearty manner in which you have responded to editorial solicitations. * * '*

* * * The following matter was handed us by the retiring

editor for· future ARROW use. It was written by Miss Lillie Selby, whose ready lead PCllet? has helped to make the official organ of Pi Beta Phi, a success.

A WESTERNER'S REPLY.

Our contemporaries have occasionally referred to I1B~ as a "western" ol'ganizatio'n in a connection evidently meant to imply some possible inferiority on that account.

We arc a western organization in origin and extension, having at present no chapter east of Ohio. B.ut what of that? Are we not all the better for this fact?

"The west" is the synonym for thrift, energy and intelli­gence. The Mississippi valley, the representative section of the west, is the practical base of supplies for the whole United States, and yields to no section in wealth, education and progress. Iowa, with its lowest percentage of illiteracy and excellent school system, is the banner educational state of (he Union.

It is only in the minds of untraveled inhabitants of the ex­treme east thaI the people of Illinois and Indiana are in danger of being scalped by the Indians; thaI cook stoves are not yet introduced into Kansas, or that Minnesota is in the frigid zone. So much cannot, of course, be said of the de­vdopment of the newer states and territories of the extreme west; but that lhey are one whit behind us in culture and nalive resources, no one who has been there, or who reads, will for a moment believe.

Especially does it seem inappropriate that the term west­ern should convey any idea but the most noble and honorable when applied by a student of a western college to a western

Ed#orial. 35 college society, as was recently the case. We can only at­tribute such· a feeling either to jealousy, or a lack of proper sectional patriotism and eyes dazzled by the glamour of the reputed splendors of eastern hyper-culture.

But we are not now concerned with the relative merits of east and west as to commerce or wealth; the question is on the motion that the western fraternity or sorosis may be, and has every reason to be the equal of a similar organization founded and centered in eastern colleges.' While the western colleges may lack the prestige and the inspiration drawn from old traditions, which give Itavor to life in the olden and more celebrated institutions of the east, yet they certainly go far toward supplying all needed advantages for the education and culture of the earnest young men and women who crowd their halls, and for .turdy manly and womanly character and intellectual force, the stullents of western colleges need ac­knowledge no superiors. The hest schools and the best students make the best fraternilies. This would lead us to expect to find good fraternity malerial and good chapters in our best colleges, and such is unquestionably the case.

With soroses, this should be even more strikingly true, for it is only in the west that co-education is the rule, and it is in co-educational schools that the strongest and noblest characters are developed among girls. Even if we wel'e an eastera institution, but with western chapters;we are inclined to think that onr greatest strength would lie in the western chapters.

But aside from the fact that our "western" sorosis is so rich in resources and opportunities, there are prudential reasons why we ought notto bein haste to extend its limits. In the convention of KA9, held at Madison, Indiana, in February last, nine chapters were represented, of which sevt::n were western, and two eastern-one in Vermont and one in Penn­sylvania. They also have a chapter at Cornell College, N. Y., and one at Los Angeles, Cal. It does not take a mathe­matician to figure out that to pay the expenses of delegates

from California and Vermont even to some central point, with so s'mall a number of chapters, would be ruinous to the pocket-books of the members without a corresponding benefit derived from the distant chapters. This is only one exam;>le of the inconvenience of too great expansion. The difficulties in the way of intercommunication or social inter­course are also apparent. The younger and weaker of the boys' fraternities are principally confined to one section, east, west, or south; only the oldest and wealthiest spread them· selves over all the country. It really seems a much better policy

, for rrB~ to let hergrowth be gradual and outward, occupy· ing desirable territory compactly, and pushing outward as she gains strength. Since we were born in the west, let us stay in the nest until our wings are strong enough to fly in any direction we choose without danger of disaster. '

The chapters will please bear in mind that this is the last issue of the ARROW for this year, that with the next num ber a new volume begins. And as the financial success of the past year is due to your prompt remittances, it is likewise upon that, that our ARROW'S future success depends there­fore, chapters and individuals, let this announcement be followed by still more prompt action on your part.

Wishing to express our gratefulness (or her work, the follow­ing resolution was unanimously passed at a late meeting:

Resolved, That we, Zeta chapter of I. C. Soro.is, of Iowa City. recognizing the efficient and faithlul work of ''our sister, Lillie M. Selby, as editor of the ARROW, tender to her an expression of (jUT appreciation and gratitude.

IDEAL WOMANHOOD.

MRS. ORPHA STRITE, MT. PLEASANT, IOWA.

An eastern sage has said, "Only fix a man's ideals and for the most part the rest is easy." High <ideals are essen­tial to high living and it is necessary that every young lady has her ideal woman in view.

The sculptor who carves out the finest statue never finds a perfect model. A large share of his works must be from the ideal form in his mind. The true artist does not trans­form the landscape he painls wholly from natur... His ideals of light and shade, his fine conceptions of distance, the ideal sunrise or sunset makes him famous. So with us we may not be able to copy from nature, but we can have ideal woo man ever before us and by aiming at perfection of character elevate our natures. Imitation is the first effort of the hu­man mind. An infant imitates its elders long before it ar­rives at any knowledge of right or wrong. Its one type of

. fatherhood is the father who fondles it. Its one type of womanhood is the mother who hugs it to her breast.

As the child grows older and discerns between right and wrong, truth and falsehood, virtue and vice, and finds all the noble attributes and none of the dishonorable .in his parents, his father will always remain his ideal man, his mother his ideal woman. If he finds a shadow of falsehood in his par­ents his ideal is shattered and' he looks elsewhere only to be again disappointed. Every t'rue hearted woman desires to Ii.ll the place of wife and mother at some time in her life, and SInce we are to be watched and copied after so closely, how important it is that we have perfect ideals and that we strive to live up to them.

Ideal Woman/lOod. 39

Our ideal woman is one that is queen of her own house­hold-one that rules all with her golden wand of unselfishness and is loved and respected by all. She must have a culti­vated mind, a cultivated hand, and above all a cultivated heart. If all the homes of this broad land of ours were pre­sided over by such women we should not have so much crime and evil to battle with. Our sons and daughters would be surrounded by such influences .as would bend their thoughts and purposes in nohle and useful directions and they would have no room or time for wicked thoughts and deeds. .

But is tl,is the ideal of the majority of America's young ladies? There is a type that is very much copied after. It has no higher ambition than to dress elegantly, then show the dress in some conspicuous place. It attends the ball, the opera. It haun~s the watering places and everywhere delights itself in receidng compliments and notices in the local papers. Her whore time is spent in planning her cos· tumes and in thinking of her own miserable self. After a while we. find her either in a home of her own or a selfish "old m,dd." In either case selfishness keeps her and all those around her from enjoying life aE they should.

Another type of womanhood seems to be quite popular just now. It is the woman that enters a professional or mercantile life. The woman who takes an active part in poli­tics. The woman who has "rights and dares maintain them." She votes and makes her husband her s/ave, her tool-but all true hearted women will agree with one who says: "If active competition with man in professional or mercantile life will fit woman ftlr home life and help to endow her with those virtues whose illustration is so essential to her best influence in the family, let her by all means' engage in this compelition. If the studies and apprenticeships necessary to make such a life as this successful are those which pecu- -liarly fit women to be wives and mothers, and prepare them to preside over the homes of the people, let us change our educational system to meet the necessity, and do it at once .

'.

, The Arrow.

If woman's power over the ballot box, now exercised by shaping the voter, and lifting the moral tone of the nation at home will be made better and more unselfish by giving her a hand in politicai strife, and the chance for an office, let her vote by all means.

If those virtues and traits of character which are univer­sally recognized as womanly are nurtured by participation in public life,-if woman grows modest, sweet, truthful, and trustworthy by familiarity with political intrigues, or by engaging in public debates-if her home grows better and more influential for good' in consequence of her absence from it, then we advocate without qualification her entrance upon public life at once, and that the broadest··..,lace shan be made bh~" •

The life of Christ is the noblest incentive to higher living and the Christian ideal has been the surest and best one that could be set up: Following that a careful intellectual train­ing not for the sake of what one leat\!s and is able to impart to others, so much as the power it gives one to take all-sided difficulties as they come upon us. Difficulties will come to all, and they are mastered most easily by those who have mastered smaller things.

Let us take time for thought and keep our ideal of per­fect womanhood ever before us and never lose sight of it in the gay masquerade of shifting figures and fleeting shapes which are conjured about us. It is something to have aimed high and our ideal should not be taken from the niche where the light of Heaven shines upon it.

SECRET SOCIETIES IN COLLEGE.

CHARLES S. ROBINSON.

The time has arrived again when the classes are gather­ing in our various institutions of learning over the land, and many young men are just beginning the new and strange life embraced within those eventful four years which mold and in a greai measure fix their after career among scholars and professional associates in the real world outside.

I should like to say a few words about one matter con­cerning the societies which have place, rightly or wrongly, in most colleges. The process of what used to be called "electioneering" commences almost at once when the fresh­men come on. The secret and the anti-secret associati(;ms alike select their members; and so most of the new students are compelled to take sides on a question which grows more and more intricate as they advance in years, and are able to mark the workings of an experience thoroughly unique and prodigiously influential upol) themselves and upon othe,·s. The least that can be said at the beginning, and the least that can be urged to the end, is that men should be. conscien­tious at the beginning and consistent to the end of their course.

. Let me tell an old true story: When I was in college, it was an admitted custom for the secret society students to attend at pleasure the regular meetings of the anti· secret association, then called there the Social Fraternity. On one occasion the news went around that the delegates of a num­ber of affiliated institutiuns had assembled in some central city during the vacation, and formed a quasi national con so­ciation, embracing all the local ones, which hereafter were

.'

to be understood to have become auxiliaries. Curiosity was at its height, and the assembly convened to accept the report was visited by a large number of outsiders also, and the small chapel was nearly full. Even the "neutrals" dotted their dignity in order to witness the novelty.

The committee proceeded to read their preamble and constitution for a formal adoption. It was in the regular form. It began by saying that the name of the new organi­zation should be the "Anti-Secret Society of the United States." It then rehearsed the purpos;'s, the aims, and the hopes of the mt.!mbers in thus banding themselves together. The officers were fixed, their duties prescribed, and all that. By and by an article was reached which specified anel described, somewhat particularly, the way in which it should be known. Of course I am not going even to try to quote anything more than the substance of the language. It was like this: "The badge of this Society shall consist of a bosom-pin about six· tenths of an inch in diameter, circular, a black disk ilf jet surrounded by a wreath of gold, bearing in the center the initials of the society's name in raised letters of gold in the enamel."

Thereupon there was an instant explosion of laughter from one of the visitors-the unfortunate writer of this arti­cle. He meant no derision, and indeed was as innocent in his indiscretion as he was mortified by such a disclosure of it. The usual shout, with all its precipitation of student­wrath, was started for his comfort; "Put him out!" He re­plied with the usual Greek: "Strike, but hear!" Then the ordinary amount of intellect was invoked to perceive that really there was some incongruity in such noble and scholar­ly men wearing on their bosoms the great golden letters "A S S" before all the COllege. Anger gave place to fun; and ultimately the convention did their work better by changing the name of the society to Anti-Secret Confedera­tion; and through the rest of our course members were la­beled "A S C."

Such a discomfiture would have been fatal in most cases, and inevitably would have given a most un philosophical advantage to the other side of the question. But the fact was, those were the chiefs of the college. They had among them some of the maturest and best the classes loved to hon­or. They managed the ;r~st of the meeting skillfully. Be­fore we retired, they'\~d in a splendid chance for an ap­peal to all that was,di!\:ent and generous in our minds; they stood up in the. power of real manhood, and told us the meanness of cliques and the injustice of exclusiveness, and the wickedness of oaths. Some of the Social Fraternity men of that year have done magnificent work in this old world since then; lind I speak simple justice when I own they shook many of us that night with their arguments and their truths.

For one, I like conscience when I see it; I always did; and more than that, I like outspoken words for what is right and good and true. But I like consistency also; and now I must tell the rest of my story. On the day we graduated, sobered and thoughtful, gentle and pensive in the backward look and the forward dread, a new secret society, running through all the four classes, "swung out" before the eyes of us all in complete organization. Among the men who sp)ke their commencement orations in our class were three or four wearing the badge of that association. They were the men who argued and pleaded two years previous to that day in the small chapel. They repudiated their principles and de­fied their former record, when it was too late for an apology or for an explanation. The Social Fraternity was wounded and betrayed by its leaders in the whole four classes; the secret-society men were not inclined to feel complimented; and the conversation was worried and perplexed, when the young fellows asked and wondered what it meant. Some said that these men had always been shamming because they had not for themselves been taken, ami so were spitefUl instead of conscientious.

Kappa Sigma is very young and deserves to be treated with consideration on that account. The magazine is not strong, but will grow, and shows a widespread interest in its management in the contribution of several interesting articles,aside from the chapter letters. The chapter lett~rs are al.nost all written from the South. There is, however one lonesome chapter away up in Maine. What induced Kappa Sigma to make such a leap as that we cannot under­stand.·

We were shocked again to see the much commented on poem, entitled "Reflections on Seeing a Coffin Lid Used as a Banqueting Board," printed in full. We are not timid or fastidious, but we do confess to a feeling of creepiness when we think of the possible ghosts raising the lid and peering out on the banqueters, and do not care to be reminded of the scene in every exchange.

We picked up Beta Theta Pi to look over, and became so much interested in reading the first articles that a review seems a task. It does oneS heart good to read such glowing accounts of genuine fraternity fun as appears in the "Mythi­cal, Mystical Minutes of the Diogenes Club," and the en­thusiastic enjoyment that must have been afforded by the "Three Banquets."

The first banquet was the "7th Annual 6-op,." of the New England chapters, held in Boston, at which over sixty Betas were present, embracing the names of some of the most dis­tinguished men of the East. It was at this banquet that Judge P. Emory Aldrich said: "lowe a great deal to fra-

ternity life, and I feel sure that before you~. of my age you • will appreciate the benefits to be derived from such a frater­nity as Beta Theta Pi." We feel sure that the remark would have been equally as appropriate if lIB e had been substi· tuded for B elI.

A reception was given by the New York Betas to Ex­Governor Hoadly, of Ohio, upon his visit to that city.

A glance at the correspondence departmeut shows wdl written chapter letters. Out of the forty-nine chapters rep­resented in their directory, forty-one have klters in the April Quarterly. That is a recorCi worth imitating by our own chapter correspondents.

With the April No. the Shield of the Phi Kappa Psi passes into·a new volume, new editorship and new cover. The volume is eight; the cover, well, not quite so pretty as the former, but more business like perhaps; the editor is Prof. C. L. Van Cleve of Troy, Ohio, whe> we are glad to note will receive some remuenration for his services, besides the hard won assistance and easily incurred criticism of his constituents. In his parting editorial, E. C. Little, the retir- . ing editor-in-chief, says: "The first three and last issues we have edited from a distance for the Inost part. To the others, we have given an immediate personal attention that took time from oru' business, that we really should not have spared. That we have done the work without pay, is no more than was done by our predecessors ana it is pleasant to know that our successor will be paid for his services.

In ~ommenting upon some of the dangers to a fraternity, the ed,tor expresses the same sentiments in regard to ex­pense as were brought out in an editorial in the March AR­ROW. But he follows with the remark which of course at-

o ~racted our attention and also excited some surprise consider­mg the soucre: "Do not pass all your time in the ball room. We have a great admiration for the fair sex, but dislike to see a chapter model its course after patterns they furnish.

About these modern colleges, there is too much rustle of silks and glimmer of apron strings." Just what he means by a chapter modelling its course after patterns furnished by the fair sex, we are at a loss to understand; but as to the apron strings we venture to say, he never saw a young lady wear an apron at college. At any rate there is no doubt that if a young:mao showed a proper determination not to be.annoyed by the "fair sex" and persisted in his determination, he would soon find that the pretty pests would let him severely alone. Rest assured Brother Little, the silks and apron strings have come to stay, though by no means for the purpose of furnish­ing patterns for Phi Kappa Psi chapter life.

Prof. Van Cleve opens with a stirring exhortation to the members to support the Shield. He thinks little of an ex­change department hut in his Spirit of tIle F,.aternt~y P1"eSS,

makes numerous excerpts of interesting and profitable arti­cles, thereby gaining the most that is expected from any ex­change department though under a different name. Some interesting discussions have been held in the late SJu"c1d on the relation of fraternities to the temperance question. We will wait until the question is settled before commenting.

The Anow

THE ARROW OF GOLD.·

BY CARIUE E. RUTLEDGE, IOWA ALPlIA.

come to us ever again and again, The tiny arrow of gold;

Linked fast together with friendship's chain, And yet the hand that holds,

The dart as it speeds on its mission trne, Would once again the hope renew

its course without swerving it may pursne, The beautiful arrow of gold.

Sending it forth with a steady hand, The potent arrow of gold,

An arrow of thought filled with meaning grand 'Vhich may touch a heart that is cold;

'Vords which may lighten mother's care, Which may help a brother his load to bear, (Had of each duty the Master spares

For the little arrow of gold.

Sending it forth with·hopes.and fears, The magical arrow of gold

'Vhich is fraught with laughter or laden with tears As it comes to the young and the old;

'Vith the wonderful force of the arrow of song, Bidding weary and weak be strong, For the cause of the good 'gainst the power of wrong,

Speeds this wonderful arrow of gold.

:May we guide its course with a watchful eye, The glittering arrow of gold,

To the regions of gloom where the shadows lie, And at last when the task is told,

And its Mission complete when the Master's call, Bids the bow-string snap and the arrow fall, :May the angel's quiver hold one and all

Of these beautiful arrows of gold.
