LAMBDA—University of California

The present year, now well advanced for Lambda, promises to be the most successful in her history. College work began August seventeenth and with it an earnest and spirited rushing season of three weeks, conducted for the first time under strict Pan-Hellenic rules. The number of affairs given was not limited however ; each day was therefore crowded to the utmost. Rushers and rushees alike were mortally weary when asking-day came; but all the Alpha Phis felt well repaid when September eleventh brought the news that seven of the finest of an unusually fine class of freshmen were to join the wearers of the bordeaux and gray. On September 16, we initiated Frances Helen Amann, of Alameda; Ruth Duncan, of San Francisco; Florence Goddard of Berkeley; Ruth Elizabeth McClelland of Oakland; Helen Frances Saxe of San Francisco; Margaret Summers of San Jose; and Laura Frances Woodward of Santa Rosa. A week later Margaret Stewart of Berkeley was pledged, and will be wearing the pin by the time the news reaches Quarterly readers. Already the class of 1909 is showing great enthusiasm for the work of the fraternity, and a very loyal spirit among its own members.

Not only have we been fortunate in the matter of freshmen. We have received several visits from sisters in other chapters that have been a great delight to us. Geraldine Mitchell, Eta '05, gave us a moment or two during her short stay in San Francisco in August ; Genevieve Scott, Iota '06, also stopped in for luncheon during rushing season, but was unable to pay us a lengthy visit. Elsie Sites, Eta '99, made a flying trip over from San Francisco one evening not long ago. She had just arrived in the city that morning, and was to sail for Shanghai the next day, so we had only about half an hour's talk with her. Just a few days ago appeared Anne Webster, Zeta '05. She expects to be in California during the winter, and will, we hope, be with us here in Berkeley for at least a month. Meeting these girls and talking with them makes one prouder than ever to be wearing our badge of sisterhood, and strengthens our loyalty and admiration for the finest of fraternities.

Our own alumnae have been invaluable to us in the past six weeks. Those that were anywhere within reach helped us plan and entertain, the distant ones sent letters full of encouragement and enthusiasm, which never seem to grow less in the heart of an Alpha Phi, no matter how much of time or distance or family care intervene.
The most important happening so far in the general college world is the founding of a chair of music, and the appointment of Dr. Wolle of Pennsylvania to be its first head. Already he has organized a large chorus, and hopes soon to found a University orchestra. The students are splendidly enthusiastic over his work; and great achievement is expected, especially with so ideal a place for the presentation of great oratorios and masses as our Greek Theater, a noble structure under the open sky which seats over seven thousand people.

Football, too, is a matter of great interest in preparation for the game with Stanford in November. Sometime during the semester also, the college will present Stephen Phillips' “Paolo and Francesco,” rather an ambitious work, but one for which there is ample talent among the students.

Lambda sends loyal greeting to all Alpha Phis, wherever they may be, and wishes them the utmost happiness for the coming year.

Kappa—Stanford University

When this letter reaches you we will all be back at college again, ready for work after a two weeks' vacation. We can gladly say that we are through with our mid-semester examinations and have none before us for some time after college begins.

Early in February the Sophomore class will present, “She Stoops to Conquer”, which will probably be followed by other dramatics later in the year. The main event of last semester was the inter-collegiate football game with the University of California, played on our new football oval, November eleventh. We are proud to say that we christened our field with a score of 12-5. The game was followed by a “football show” given in the Assembly hall.

In November we gave our regular semester “At Home,” a reception in the afternoon and evening for the faculty of the college and our friends. The house was beautifully decorated in autumn colors, grape-vines and poplar boughs. A little before that we gave our big dance which, too, was a great success.

The wedding of May D'Oyly to Mr. R. R. Syre, of San Jose, was held at her home on the evening of December the nineteenth. Only the family and a few very intimate friends were present at the ceremony. A large reception followed before the bride and groom left for their wedding trip. Mr. and Mrs. Syre will live in San Jose when they return.

Bertha Boots will return to Stanford again to finish her course and to graduate with the class of '06 in the spring. Florence Foy, '06, will not return to college after the holidays, but will be at her home in Los Angeles. She will be greatly missed by us all.

Kappa chapter sends wishes for a most happy and prosperous New Year to all near and far.

Margaret A. Post.

Lambda—University of California

College for Lambda opens on January fifteenth, just one week later than the present writing. As yet the girls are pretty well scattered, for the three weeks' vacation gives most of those who live out of town a chance to return home for the holidays. There have been several informal gatherings, however, of Alpha Phis who live about the Bay of San Francisco. Bess Pratt, '02, had a charming “five hundred” party at her home in Oakland soon after New Year's. Several of the older girls were there, as well as a few of the active chapter; among them Halliday Duncan English, Edith Schulze, Mary Baily, Edna McKee, Blanche Southack, Helen Winchester, Bess Cosley, Alice Graham, Winifred Osborne Brown, Phoebe Binney, Dorothea Van Orden, Mary Van Orden.

Lambda has acquired another matron, though a very youthful one. Eleanore Gertrude Briggs, '08, was married on the twentieth of December to Lieutenant Hiram Marshall Cooper of the Tenth Infantry, U. S. A. None but the family were present at the ceremony, which took place at the home of her brother, Lieutenant Briggs, at the Presidio, San Francisco. Sister Eleanore left immediately for Santa Barbara, so that none of us had a chance to greet our sophomore with her new title. Her beautiful bride's bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley arrived at the chapter house on the evening of her departure and was a silent token of loving remembrance. Later the Coopers expect to go to Honolulu, where they will be stationed at Fort McKinley.

Sister Eleanore will not be the only Alpha Phi in Hawaii, Bertha Bootes, '06, who belongs to Lambda by right of adoption, but who was to have returned to Stanford University for her degree, suddenly changed her plans and set out for the Islands on the thirtieth of December. She will have a very delightful position in a girls' school in Honolulu, and goes under the care of Mr. and Mrs. Scudder, cousins of Isabelle Scudder Farrington. Lambda's love and dearest wishes go with both the sisters into their new life.

We are rejoicing with Margaret Mason Whitney, (Theta), in the birth of a second daughter, another Margaret. Our best hope for the small girl is that she may become a woman of as rare sweetness and power for good as her mother. Sister Margaret has been an unfailing friend and adviser to Lambda ever since her arrival in Berkeley.

The short visit of Clara Bradley Burdette, Alpha '76, was a great pleasure to those of the girls who had an opportunity to meet with her. She spent only a few moments with us at the chapter house, one afternoon in November, but in that little time she managed to tell us much of the early days in Syracuse, of the great and varied tasks which she is accomplishing with her husband in Los Angeles, and of the fresh interest and hope with which she regards the work of the fraternity in all the chapters. Mrs. Burdette is an inspiration to every Alpha Phi; she is an example of the woman who carries on with equal justice her public and domestic duties, and retains in the midst of harassing cares, a gracious and unruffled manner and an appearance of unquenchable youth and vitaliy. Lambda looks forward to a longer visit in the spring, when Mr. Burdette will be lecturing in Berkeley.

The New Year opens very auspiciously for Lambda, with but one disappointment, the absence of Grace Stokes, '06, who is visit ing in Washington, D. C. We trust that Sister Grace will have a happy time, however, and return to the house next year. The girls send most cordial wishes for 1906 to all their sisters, both as individuals and as chapters.

However, receiving the appointment to teach in Kawaiahao Seminary, in Honolulu, she sailed on the Pacific mail steamer “Korea” for that port. She expects to see Eleanor Briggs Cooper, '08, there in a few months and hopes to meet other Alpha Phis who may be visiting the Islands or residing thereon.

Miss Katherine Hilke, a well-known New York soprano, who was the soloist at the recent Loring club concert in San Francisco was the guest of honor at a musical and reception given Friday evening at the new residence of Professor and Mrs. Farrington of the University of California. Miss Hilke sang a number of songs with Miss Maude Wellendorf, as accompanist. A feature of the residence of Professor Farrington, which was but lately completed and was designed by Mr. Maybeck, the architect of many Berkeley residences, is the large music room in which the curious experiment has been made of having the space occupied by the piano and musicians who may participate, lowered several feet below the level of the room. The acoustic effect thus obtained is indeed very fine. Many people prominent in University circles and in music, enjoyed the hospitality of the Farringtons Friday evening. “Oct. 31, 1905.—Berkeley Gazette.”

Mrs. Farrington is a member of Lambda chapter and a number of the girls assisted her.

Anne Stuart, '05, is teaching in Los Angeles. Her address is The Pick wick, 833 S. Grand Ave.

Caroline Smith, '07, who sailed from San Francisco last fall for a trip abroad with her parents, writes on an attractive post card under date of February 15, from Canton, China, saying: “This is a most interesting city, built 300 B. C. From here we go to Shanghai and other places in China and then on to Japan. Just came from Manila.”

Bertha Bootes, ex-'04, Lambda, ex-'06, writes from Honolulu, where she is teaching in Kauaiahao Seminary : “The most important event lately has been Eleanor's coming (Eleanor Briggs Cooper, Lambda, ex-'08). Early Friday morning (February 23, 1906) we received a telephone message….that the 'Sherman' was in….and I went down to the dock.” In a subsequent letter she writes that she has dined at the Post as Eleanor's guest and that a reception was given in their honor early in March by an aunt of Bess and Irma Woodward, (Lambda, ex-'05, and '09) who resides in Honolulu.

Miss Ruth Paxson, student secretary for the Y. W. C. A., dined with the Lambda girls a short time ago, and spent a few moments afterward about the fire. Miss Paxson is a Kappa Kappa Gamma from the University of Iowa and is doing splendid work for the Association.

Mary Van Orden, '06, was recently elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

In spite of a heavy rain, the Alpha Phis carried out a long-planned picnic, by having a very jolly luncheon at Florence Goddard's. We had it in a large room down stairs, with a roaring open fire, and a cloth spread the length of a long rug. Twenty pillows ranged about it gave the picknicky feeling, and each of the little luncheon packages disclosed an appropriate toy which furnished entertainment during the meal. Later we paddled across the campus to Sister Isabelle Farrington's lovely house on the hill, where there was more good time in the way of dancing and “eats.” Later we shall have the real picnic.

Grace Stokes, '06, sends glowing accounts of military life in Washington, D. C. Sister Grace expects to return in May, if she can bring herself to leave the giddy and delightful whirl in which she is at present gyrating. We hope that college and Lambda in August will not seem too utterly mild in contrast.

Florence Foy, Kappa, Lambda, ex-'06, has been spending the past few weeks with cousins in Oakland, and will soon return to her Los Angeles home.

Katherine Carter, Lambda, Theta, '05, is visiting in Southern California, and will be with the Lambda girls some time during April.

Edith G. Ostrander, '08, is on the staff of the Blue and Gold having been appointed a member of the society department. She was chairman of the reception committee for the luncheon given by the women of the class of '08 to the men of the class, at the close of the exercises attending the transfer of the big “C” to the freshmen on March 23. The big “C” was placed on charter hill by the present sophomore class a year ago. It is made of cement and when painted yellow can be seen for miles around.

A local paper has this to say of the party given February 2, by Lambda's freshman class :
“Among the numerous affairs in college circles last night was the reception and dance given at the Alpha Phi sorority house, 2400 Durant Avenue, by the freshmen to the upper classmen. The 'frat' house under the skillful management of the Alpha Phis had been transformed in a purely Oriental setting. The lights came from colored lanterns, immense Chinese hats were tucked in every conceivable place and long strands of embroidered silk swung against the walls.

“The girls were thorough hostesses and a 'keenly enjoyable time' was the verdict of their guests, for the evening's pleasure. Dancing was the pleasant pastime of the hour and buffet refreshments were served throughout the evening. The hostesses of the occasion were assisted by Mrs. Evans, Mrs. A. Binney, Mrs. Hugh Webster, (Lulu Rued Webster, '02) and Mrs. F. E. Farrington, (Isabel Scudder Farrington, post graduate.)”

Phoebe Binney, '06, was chairman of the reception committee of the annual masquerade ball given in Hearst Hall early in March by the Sports and Pastimes Club.

Professor and Mrs. Frederic E. Farrington, (Isabel Scudder Farrington, post graduate) were among the patrons and patronesses of the college production of the “Pirates of Penzance,” given at the McDonough Theatre in Oakland on March 23. Edith Ostrander, '08, a member of the Treble Clef Club, which is composed of the singers in the “Mikado” given a year ago, was among those who took part.

For the “County Fair” held by the Associated Women Students in Co-ed Canyon on April 19, Adelaide Stafford, '09, Margaret Summers, '08, and Ruth McClelland, '09, served on committees.

The Prytanean Society of the University of California is composed of women students of the junior and senior classes who have been active in college affairs. For some time the society has been engaged in acquiring a sum of money for the establishment of a hospital for sick students. Each year one or more entertainments are given under the auspices of this society for the purpose of augmenting this fund. Last year the society received the profits from the student production of “The Mikado,” and this year of “The Manceuvers of Jane,” a comedy produced by the Mask and Dagger Society and In the Meantime Club of the University. Early in March they secured the exhibition at the University art gallery of the Ripberger needle-work copy of the Sistine Madonna. The exhibit was a success in every way.

Among the Alpha Phis who have taken active interest in the Prytanean Society and its aims are Alice Graham, '05, Helen Winchester, '04, Phoebe Binney, '06, Mary Van Orden, '06 and Mrs. Farrington.

Lambda desires to meet all the Alpha Phis who will be attracted to Berkeley this summer by the National Educational Association meeting in July. Any Alpha Phis who expect to attend the gathering are requested to send their names to Miss Franklyn Jones, 2221 Union St., Berkeley.

Anna Stuart, '05, has been granted a leave of absence from her school duties, on account of poor health, and has gone abroad for a time. She and her mother are now in Germany.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AND THE EARTHQUAKE

April the eighteenth had been set aside by the powers for the annual review drill of the University cadets. Needless to say, the drill took place with the utmost precision and credit, in spite of the fact that a cataclysm had occurred and one of the great cities of the world had become a vast pyre. Berkeley's campus was as serene in the calm spring sunshine as though no danger had ever approached it; the buildings were untouched and the usual crowd sat on the bleachers on the parade ground and watched many hot young men tramp back and forth under the eagle eye of the visiting inspector. The evolutions lasted on till three o'clock in the afternoon, and then word came that soldiers were needed to patrol the burning district south of Market street, lawless at best, and rendered unmanageable by unlimited drink and crazy fear. This caused great joyful excitement among the men, and they clamored for the chance to go, though they were all somewhat weary with their day's performance. The girls went home and made great stocks of sandwiches, and watched the companies march off for the train with the feelings of their grandmothers in i860. Most of the men were gone from Wednesday night until Sunday. Most of them had had very little sleep and less food during the time, and had seen sights that they would not speak of. In spite of all the dangers through which they went, only one man was wounded, and he is slowly recovering.

Meanwhile those left in the town were not idle. University professors formed part of the general committee which was organized immediately. Miss Sprague, the Dean of Women, called the girls together and systematized the work so that all was in readiness when the van guard of the horde came into the town on Thursday afternoon. Tents were set up on the campus and a feeding-station established. Stiles Hall was used as a distribution center and bureau of information, and the students distributed themselves at various points to give whatever assistance was most needed. Many of the girls went down to the Oakland mob to direct the bewildered people as they came from the ferry-boats. Clothing was collected and had to be sorted and distributed. By night time an emergency hospital was found necessary ; the girls volunteered as nurses and had opportunities during the next few days for some bits of real experience. Hearst Hall, the women's gymnasium, was opened as a medical hospital and was kept in service for more than a month.

By some chance Berkeley received a large part of the Latin quarter of San Francisco, beside a good portion of Chinatown. The trains ran for several nights until three o'clock in the morning, each one coming loaded with a pitiful mass of humanity, grimy beyond belief and worn to the limit of strength by nights with no shelter and endless wanderings, driven by the flames far out to the sand hills, and tramping back to the ferry through miles of charred desolation. Most of the Latins came in families, many children, each with a bundle, many babies, some only a few days old, and always a dog. One man was carried into the hospital in a state of utter collapse after arriving with his wife and child, three large bundles of bedding, a pet poodle and a cage of monkeys. In a room above the hospital, belonging to the I O. O. F., over a hundred men and women and seventeen babies slept during the first night on quilts folded on the floor. Two girls watched them all night, which seemed nothing strange at the time; they were so utterly weary that they scarcely turned over during the night. By five in the morning they were out in the streets looking anxiously for relatives who had become separated from them during the flight. A kitchen corps was organized to feed these people; the girls washed dishes and peeled potatoes till their arms ached, and cheerfully went next day and did it again. Some of them did night duty in the hospitals for fourteen hours at a stretch, but no one had any thought of resting until the need for the work was over. A great part of the work was the tabulation of cards of every person who came to the town. His name was taken by the general committee when he arrived at the station ; his record was kept at the hospital or his sleeping place with his probable destination at dismissal. In this way it was much easier to identify lost friends and relatives and to make an accurate census report. In all, Berkeley took in fifteen thousand homeless people ; most of them have found work or gone to other places, but there are still several thousand with no home but the relief camp. Private charity has been stopped in a large measure as the necessity for it is over. During the first week, however, nearly every home had its unexpected guests. The main work now is in investigation and tabulation of those who are in need of employment. The camps have been concentrated, making them easier to handle, and everything is being carried on under systematic supervision. There is much sewing to do, and much “friendly visiting” in order to find out real conditions.

Though the University buildings were practically unharmed, California suffered the loss of a large part of its income-bearing property in San Francisco, which will make next year a hard one in spite of state appropriations. Nevertheless, President Wheeler is very hopeful, and anxious to show each loyal student that now is a chance to work and work hard for the sake of the college.

College exercises closed on the eighteenth ; for a month after ward strenuous efforts were made to get records without examinations, which could not be given because so many people had gone away. No one's work was graded, but was simply allowed to pass if satisfactory.

Class Day was held May 14 with the customary speeches and pilgrimage, but the extravaganza which was in elaborate preparation, and the receptions by the men's fraternities were given up. Commencement occurred May 16 in the Greek theatre; no class but 1906 can ever have the same feeling of seriousness and significance in graduation as did the class which ended its college days after so many weeks of real experience with a real world. The University shares in the general uplift which comes from the realization and practical demonstration all about of the things which human courage can do which seemed hopeless, and in the great joy of actual human fellowship and service.

BERKELEY STUDENTS IN RELIEF WORK

So varied and so numerous are the aspects of the great San Francisco fire, and the earthquakes of last April in that vicinity, that innumerable publications all over the world have found in them material appropriate to every object, until it seems that nothing remains to be said. But none of the world's magazines or papers has quite the viewpoint of our own QUARTERLY, so that we may very properly essay to treat of some features of the great combination of calamities, and in our own way.

It is safe to say that at least seventy Alpha Phis were startled at dawn on the morning of April 18, 1906, by the seismic disturbances in northern California, which shook down chimneys, caused the fabrications of Man to dance fantastically, and, in some instances, houses to tumble about like card creations and pebble forts.

Buildings in Santa Rosa, the home of Bess and Irma Woodward of Lambda, were badly wrecked. Sacramento, the residing place of Margaret Faris, '03, and Florette Hodgdon, '07, of Kappa, and of Edna McKee, '01, and Elva McCluhan, ex-'07, of Lambda, felt the shock slightly. San Rafael, where our former visiting delegate, Winifred Smith Harris, Beta, ex-'97, lives, received some damage, and the home towns of many other girls of Kappa and Lambda suffered to greater degrees. Palo Alto, Alameda, Oakland and Berkeley were considerably shaken, and San Jose and San Francisco were the victims of disastrous fires.

Through some grave errors in construction, some of the buildings of Stanford University were wrecked, and some of the fraternity houses were considerably damaged, but the attractive brown house of Kappa chapter still stands, its hospitably adorned doors ready to welcome any Alpha Phis.

The girls in Lambda's chapter house at Berkeley, including our visiting delegate, Mrs. Woodward, who had, by the way, not yet seen San Francisco nor the Stanford Quadrangles, were startled from slumber by the falling bricks of their chimneys, by the overturning of furniture and by the cracking of the plaster.

But the sudden fright and the personal losses of individuals were soon forgotten in the horrors of the situation across the Bay in San Francisco.

When the smoke on the western horizon, seen by day, and the red glare, by night, had finally ended, and the booming of the dynamited buildings ceased to ring in our ears, Berkeley, as well as other neighboring cities, became a haven of refuge, and it is estimated that over fifteen thousand people of the wild-eyed, foot-sore crowd, who had fled from their burning homes in San Francisco, came to the college town.

At first the homes of Berkeley's twenty or twenty-five thousand citizens were opened to receive them, but it was discovered that many of the refugees were from the poorest districts of the burned city and that there was grave danger of contagion. Organized relief work was thereupon effected by the citizens and the University authorities, and hospitals and shelters were arranged in various public buildings and in buildings and tents on the Campus. Every family ransacked its attics and clothes-closets for things to send to the relief station, and women organized circles to make comforters, night robes and garments for children. The large stores in San Francisco having been destroyed, which were the sources of Berkeley's supply, the stocks in local stores were soon exhausted and remnants were solicited from the scrap bags of the residents.

But to the students of the University fell a different and a harder sort of work. The men in their cadet uniforms were ordered out—about three hundred of them—to go to San Francisco to assist the United States troops in the work there ; others to act as guides to find designated shelters for the refugees coming to Berkeley, and a large number to patrol the streets at night and to guard the camps on the University Campus night and day. The women students, gowned in white, wearing yellow ribbon badges or Red Cross arm-bands, worked night and day at the various hospitals and shelters.

Alpha Phis who have visited Berkeley can picture in the old football bleachers rows of tents occupied by men. Southwest of the football statue, under the “gnarled and twisted oaks,” a cooking camp or feeding station appeared as if by magic. Here college men in uniform maintained order and college girls assisted in the work of feeding the hundreds who applied for soup and coffee and the staff of life, without money and without price. Florence Goddard, Marguerite Shoecraft, Adelaide Stafford and Irma Woodward of our girls were among the assistants here.

Harmon Gymnasium was transformed into a reading room and refugees were furnished with facilities for writing to their friends. College students wrote for those who could not do so themselves. The baths in this building were used by the men—welcomed by some and approached by the many with reluctance, and even at the point of the bayonet, it is said. The bath course for these strange students was, it may be stated, not elective, but required. Women refugees used the baths in Hearst Hall.

A free laundry was arranged in the new addition of Harmon Gymnasium, and among the live oaks wire lines were extended from which a motley array of garments of all hues soon hung, flapping in the classic breeze.

In California field—erstwhile the scene of exciting football games, attended by gaily attired throngs who shouted and waved the flags of cardinal or of blue and gold,—were pitched tents for women and children of all nations. They were guarded and directed by the cadets and waited upon by the college women. To the strange and suffering throng these young girls were veritable ministering angels, and Berkeley's beautiful Campus was a real Paradise to the hundreds who had just experienced as real an Inferno in the burning city across the Bay.

Hearst Hall, the women's gymnasium,—in days not so long ago the scene of numerous jinks, balls and plays,—became a hospital. Volunteer trained nurses and doctors were in charge of the general ward on the first floor and the maternity ward on the second. This picturesque building became the birth-place of several infants.

Among the students in the Red Cross or medical corps service, assisting at Hearst Hall, were Edith Ostrander and Isabelle Scudder Farrington. Mrs. Farrington also kept several refugees in her own home, and was assisted by Cora Stranahan Woodward, Delta, '94.

It is impossible to describe the unusual scenes presented by the Campus during the weeks following, but it is interesting to note the wonderful way in which the university met the emergency.

The college men have received much well-deserved praise for their work, and the women students have received innumerable compliments for their faithfulness, efficiency and untiring efforts. Much of the work was night service and scarcely agreeable except to the truly unselfish who were glad to aid suffering humanity.

Not only was the Campus the scene of their activity,—many were stationed at other public shelters. Stiles Hall, home of the Christian Associations, south of the Campus, was an important center. Among other things the ward for those refugees suffering from hysteria and mental unsoundness was for a time stationed there. Among the college girls in attendance were Margaret Stewart and Irma Woodward, of Lambda.

The emergency hospital was established at Odd Fellows' Hall in the business part of the town, and Mary Van Orden and Phoebe Binney were in the Red Cross service there, and assisted in tabulation. Others in the Red Cross service were Florence Ward, Franklyn Jones and Helen Winchester, the last named later becoming assistant in census record and clothing distribution departments of the relief organization, in which work Lura Bonestell, ex-'07, also engaged after her flight from her home in San Francisco which was dynamited by the authorities in a vain attempt to stop the progress of the fire.

A stranger one day spoke to me about an Alpha Phi whom she had seen sitting on the steps of the emergency hospital affectionately holding a forlorn little child. “Of course,” said the stranger, “anybody would feel like doing all she could to relieve the terrible condition of these people, but few would feel called upon to love these unfortunate children like that.”

Proud that the story relates especially to one of our own girls, we must add that it illustrates the tenderness, sympathy and absolute kindness spoken of by many onlookers as characteristic of all the college women in their work during the trying times. While some good people of the city “wearied of well doing” long before the guests had departed, and found provocation for impatience, the college girls were almost uniformly courteous to all.

Of those of our girls not mentioned in this record of relief work, Effie Smilie was engaged at the Relief Station in Oakland, and the others had to go to their homes which were damaged in the earthquake.

Those who lost relatives, friends and property in the great disaster may not see in the recent events the good and beautiful factors which an onlooker may consider. There were many for tunate features, the loss of life was exceedingly small comparatively, and the social upheaval was complete and far-reaching. In this connection we may speak of the probable effect upon the poor or recently immigrant class that found refuge in Berkeley, and came thus into close relation with beauties of nature which they had never heretofore experienced, and came to know, in the intimacy of a great calamity, people of refinement and culture. It was radical if “occasional” social settlement life with the slum district settling among the workers. Practical Christianity was given an opportunity to declare itself in works.

A poor Greek bootblack was heard to smack his lips and declare that the simple meal of which he had just partaken at the Campus feeding station was the best he'd ever had, and he commented especially upon the “cleanness” of the soup! One poor woman said that she had never known there was such a place as Berkeley or a Campus or a State University ; that it was “heaven to be allowed to come here and just lie down on the grass under the trees.” She declared that the refugees “didn't need no tents or nothing”—just to be allowed to come was enough, and she couldn't speak of the kindness of the relief officers or of students for the very tears of appreciation and gratitude which filled her eyes and throat.

No doubt great good will eventually come from the San Francisco catastrophe. The heroes, known and unknown, of the historical hour, are a source of pride to the people of the United States. We Alpha Phis are likewise proud of the good work of our California sisters, and we believe that by this far-reaching social upheaval, this great hymn of adversity played upon the heart-strings of a suffering city, our fraternity receives new thoughts, new inspirations; and so this record has been written as a tribute to our California sisters through whom this good has come to us.

MARGARET MASON WHITNEY, Theta, '00.

IN MEMORIAM
Emma Patten, Beta, '06
Beta Chapter mourns the death of one of her loyal sisters, Emma Patten, a member of the class of 1906. Sister Emma was ill for four weeks, and her death which occurred just before the Commencement exercises at Northwestern cast a gloom over the whole college.

Funeral services were held on Monday, May 28, at which President James of Northwestern, and Reverend Timothy P. Frost, her pastor, paid tribute to her character and her value to the young women of college and city.

Sister Emma was one of Beta's best loved sisters and the chapter, as well as all Alpha Phis, mourns their loss. The memory of her noble life will ever be an inspiration to all who were privileged to know her.

Kappa
Under date of May 14, Bertha Bootes, ex-'04, Lambda, ex-'06, writes from Honolulu, where she is teaching in Kawaiahao Seminary: “Gertrude Mcintosh (Kappa, '98) was here a week, and it was line to talk Alpha Phi with her. By the way, she and her mother were in the St. Francis at the time of the earthquake. They lost everything they possessed. I had a note from Gertrude from Seattle saying she was trying to acquire a new wardrobe. Caroline Smith (Kappa, ex-'07) and her mother spent the day here two weeks ago on their way home from Japan. I'm expecting to see the Ferguson girls (Amy, Kappa, '02) soon, as they are scheduled to pass through here in a few days. Of course I see Eleanor quite often (Eleanor Briggs Cooper, Lambda, ex-'08). Her brother has had charge of some of the dynamiting in San Francisco, and her sister has had her house full of refugees. There are only three weeks more of school. The school is to have a luou, an Hawaiian feast, the week before the end. They say they are veryinteresting sights. I shall be here on duty from June 24 to July 7, after which some of us may go over to Wailuku and take a cottage for the summer. Of course I shall see Marion Penhallow (Kappa, '00) and Laura Wells (Kappa, '09). I didn't see the latter when she came home, for the 'Alameda' came in in the morning and they left for Maui at noon and of course I was busy teaching. .. .1 went to a Pan-Hellenic dinner not long ago given by a Chi Omega here from Berkeley. She gave it in honor of Miss Whitmore, a Pi Phi from Nebraska. There was also a Theta there from Nebraska and one from Minnesota. A Kappa was also invited but was unable to come. The men were all fraternity men. Afterwards we sang college songs and danced.”

Carolyn Edwards, '06, wa9 married on May 23, 1906, to Mr. Hubert Hall. A very informal ceremony was held at her home in San Jose, only the immediate family being present. Shortly after the marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Hall left for a two months' camping trip through the Sierras. When they return they expect to live for a year in Mrs. Loeser*s house upon the campus.

Caroline Smith, '07, has returned from her year's travels through Australia, China, Japan and the Philippines. She will spend the summer in Chicago with her sister and in the fall we hope to see her back at Stanford.

Alice Roedel, '07, is in the East. She will spend most of the summer in Lyme, Conn.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Loeser left June 5th for a year's tour in Europe. They have taken their automobile with them and in it they expect to travel through Germany, France and Italy.

Grace Coolidge, '08, is spending the summer in Scranton, Pa.

Aline E. Bofferding, of Epsilon chapter, who was affiliated with us for a year, was married to Dr. Alfred Fritschi in Minneapolis, Minn., on Tuesday evening, May 29th. After June the twelfth they will be at home in San Francisco.

Mary Katharine Gilman Irving, ex-'03, with her husband, is enjoying a bicycling trip through England.

Lambda

The new home of Lambda, after August 1, will be 2731 Dwight Way, Berkeley, California.

Phoebe Binney, '06, with her father and mother have taken a house at 2422 Durant Avenue, and intend to make Berkeley their home for some time. The girls are glad of the prospect of being still within reach of Mrs. Binney, whose hospitality has been so lavish during the past year.

Katharine Blythe Carter, ex-'05, Theta, '05, has been spending a few days with Mrs. Everett Brown (Winifred Osborne) ex-'03, and Mary Van Orden, '06. The girls have gathered twice to meet her at the home of Edith Schulze, '03, and of Mrs. Farrington. It is an opportunity which the active girls have very much anticipated, as none of the present chapter knew Katharine in college. She has been spending the winter in southern California with her parents, and will return to her home in Illinois after a month in Colorado.

Mary Baily, '03, is living in Berkeley for the present. Her beautiful home on Valencia Street in San Francisco was completely destroyed by the fire.

Lura Bonestell, ex-'07, also lost her home and most of her belongings in the disaster. She is living with her family on Merrimac Street in Oakland. With the exception of these two, the homes of the girls were not seriously in jured.

Blanche Southack, ex-'04, is at 3 Driftway, Santa Cruz, California, for the summer months.

Helen Winchester, '04, and Phoebe Binney, '06, have gone on a short trip to Pescadero.

Franklyn Jones, '06, will be teaching next semester at Plantation House, Sonoma County.

Helen Frances Saxe, '09, will be married some time this month to Mr. Arthur Anthony, of Pacific Grove, California.

Florence Goddard, '09, is visiting friends in Los Angeles for a few weeks.

Anne McClelland, '02, and Bess Pratt, '03, who have been teaching in Santa Barbara, will be with their families in Oakland during the summer.

Edna McKee, '01, will be in Sacramento after teaching in Oakland during the year.

Edith Ostrander, '08, whose home is in Fresno, will be in Alameda until the opening of college.

Frances Amann, '09, is visiting with her parents in the East but expects to return to college in the fall.

On April 14, Alice Graham, '05, entertained the Lambda Alumnae Club at her home, 528 Jones Street, Oakland, California, in honor of Mrs. Woodward, the visiting delegate. Several of the members were so unfortunate as to be away from home or otherwise unable to be present but the following were there to meet Mrs. Woodward and to enjoy most thoroughly all that she had to say about Alpha Phi past, present and future.

Meetings of the Lambda Alumnae Club have taken place as follows : January 13, at the home of Lulu Rued Webster, '02, in Oakland ; February 10, at the home of Blanche Southack, ex-'04, in San Francisco; March 10, at the home of Edith Schulze in Oakland, and April 14 at the home of Alice Graham in Oakland. On account of the excitement prevailing in this region of the county, the May meeting was omitted.
