TWENTY SIXTH YEAR
What is P E 0
Apropos to tho meeting in McCook
Juno la 19 and 20 of the State Grand
Chapter convention with its nearly one
hundred delegates from uoinu forty live
different towns ull over the stnto the
question is often nsked what is P E
O We regret thut it is not our privi
lege to reveal many of it beauties but
we are proud to uflirm that it is our
endeavor to inculcate both by precept
and example those attributes of woman
hood which shall enable her to respond
to the delicate vibrations of the soul
thus not only enriching her own being
but uplifting and inspiring those around
her And so without laying bare tho
innermost soul of P E O which dif
fer9 from all other womens secret or
ganizations in that her eligibility for
membership depends wholly upon her
self rather than upon the membership
of her husband or father in the super
ior body as well as in the scope of its
work and her ideals of sisterhood I
may tell you something of its aims and
objects
Seven girls of tho Iowa Wesleyan un
iversity laid the foundations of our
beautiful sisterhood in January 18G9
While our membership list is not an
open one our exclusiveness does not
arise from selfish or narrow motives
to draw a circle of such limitations n
round us would defeat our greatest am
bition We would live for those
about us for tho good that wo can do
P E O is broad in its scope its prin
ciple object being general improvement
comprehending more especially the fol
lowing points
1 Individual growth incharity to
wards all with whom we associate and
a just comprehension and adherence to
the qualities of Faith Love Purity
Justice and Truth
2 To seek growth in knowledge and
in mental culture and to obtain all pos
sible wisdom from nature art books
study societyand to radiate all light by
conversation by writing and by the
the right exercise of any talent we pos
sess
3 To aim at moral culture 3elf con
trol equipoise and symmetry of char
acter and temperance in opinions
speech and habits
With the badge of the sisterhood the
five pointed golden star with its mystic
letters P E O representing ajl that is
pure holy and elevating as our guide
we are inspired to seek the Inuhfst
purest and noblest ideal of womanhood
WhatP E O means we may not tell
But we may show it in actions well
