Mothers at Fetes Today
; (Continued from Page 1.)
. Alpha Chi Omega's open house for
their parents. Sigma Delta Tau is
' also holding open house for their
! mothers and have planned an elab
orate program honoring them.
Fraternities Also.
Many of the fraternities are
giving dinners for their mothers
! today and the following Sunday,
i The Beta's, as is their custom,
honor their mothers on one Sun
i day and all Beta sisters the fol
lowing Sunday.
i Although campus activities cen
ter themselves around teas, din
ners, and open houses, as expres
sions of Mothers day, this holiday
was originally created for the pur
pose of a day of worship of moth
erhood. Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadel
phia in 1907 formulated the idea
of Mothers day and it was through
' her efforts that Philadelphia in
1908 became the first city in the
; world to set aside a special day in
1 tribute to mothers. The carnation
! was made the symbol of Mothers
day.
The popularizing of Miss Jarvis'
idea lead to the adoption of a reso
lution in congress 23 years ago
to set aside the second Sunday in
May for a national holiday to
honor mothers. The first Mothers
day. May 9. 1311. va3 created by
I proclamation by President Wil
son in which he stated the pur
pose of Mothers day is to allow a
"public expression of our love and
reverence for mothers throughout
1 the country."
