War Activitives
Behold the godmothers of the children of Bellevue! It happened through Dorothy Canfield Fisher,
so prominent in war work and in the literary world. Mrs. Fisher was a member of Beta Nu Chapter
of Kappa Kappa Gamma not so very many years ago. She is now in France while her husband is at
the front. She takes care of great numbers of refugee children, giving them clothing and food to keep
them alive. She has granted our chapter the privilege of being headquarters for all the clothing that
the people of this country send to her for the French who need it so badly.
The Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. carried on a strenuous campaign last year on the campus. Kappa
Kappa Gamma pledged $500 for the work. It seemed almost an impossibility for so small a number
of girls to raise that sum of money. In spite of all views to the contrary, our sum was raised within
the allotted time.
After we had done so well in raising our pledge to the Y.M.C.A., we continued to give the tea dances
which had been such a success, and with the money made in this fashion, we helped with the Dorothy
Cantield Fisher Fund for French Refugees.
Mrs. Dorothy Canfield Fisher, '99, is right behind the lines in France, where she is effectively helping
the refugees who stream toward Paris.
Ida M. Bringardner, '14, is engaged in war work here in Columbus, and for some time has been in
charge of the settlement work of the Red Cross for the families of the soldiers.
