GENERAL
Commencement week at Indiana University was one of unusual
interest this year, as the university celebrated its hundredth birth- day. For three days preceding commencement a Centennial Pageant was given. The alumnae who attended were Mrs. Mabel Lewis Meifeld, ex '20, Vivian Day, '19, Beatrice Coombs. '19, Mabel Ililtman, '22, Shirley Armstrong, '19.
These alumnae with this year's graduates formed a plan for ob- taining money for a building fund. A sort of an alumnae association was formed through which the money is to be gathered. All Beta Phi alumnae are invited to take out membership and pay in to Vivian Day two dollars a month, or fifty cents a week. When the active chapter either builds or buys a home then this money is to be paid over to the chapter treasurer for the building fund. This money is to be paid beginning September, 1920. until a house is bought by the active chapter. As this is an easy way to get a large sum together for such a needy cause it is thought that all Beta Phi alumnae will be
glad to help the active chapter. Beta Phi must not rank below other chapters at Indiana University, so she must own her home.
Mrs. L.T. Smith (Lee Combs, ex '19) is living at 1312 West 34th St, Indianapolis, Indiana. Won't you all go to see her when you are in Indianapolis?
Shirley Armstrong, '19, is returning to Indiana University next year in order to continue her work in the Medical School.
