Musician The ALPHA THETA .l:'l, an honorary scientific soror- ity organized in April, 1917, has reached its third year with a inenibership ot' nearly one hundred, and active work under way towards making it a National Sorority with several other Chapters. During the year, we have added to the Social life of the School by giving several parties for the Seniors and juniors besides those of our own members and pledges. Among the lirst of these was a Tacky Party at the ,home of Dr. Kellogg, and considering the disrepntable appearance of the guests, it was lucky the place wasn't raided for harboring Coxy's Army No. 2 or a Hobo con- vention. Everyone had a good time-except Dr. Capron- poor man-he was constantly worried for fear Dr. Rod- erick or Mr. Wentworth would discover where he got it. ln january a coasting party was a heap ol fun, even though the wind blew a terrific gale and it was bitter cold. The delicious lunch which followed at Dr. Kelloggs resi- dence certainly struck the right spot. February brought our Sorority Letter Day-and letters from about thirty nienibers, including -lohnnie Harmon at Randall lsland, Adda Blair, Naval Hospital, Brooklyn. Dot Gardner, San Francisco General .Hospital and Doro- thy McGinnis, Tallahassee. Florida. These our correspond- ing secretary formed into one big letter, ininieographed, and mailed a copy to each of the distant girls. lt was a niuch enjoyed letter, and renewed the interest of the old girls in the Sorority. t Our Annual Dinner-Dance in honor of the new pledges was given at the Post Tavern, April l7th. Forty members

Our work and purpose. however, is not of a social natureg we wish to have our part in aiding the advance- ment ot the Science of Nutrition and Dietetics, and closer cooperation with scientihc and social inovemertts. Toward this end. discussions as to the work of next year have al- ready taken place. and we hope it will prove a source of benefit to our profession and our School and add to the glory of ALPHA THAETFA l'l.
