The Lyre of Alpha Chi Omega, Vol. 33, No. 1, October 1929
THE LYRE
VOLUME XXXIII
OCTOBER, 1929
NUMBER 1
Dorothy Thompson-Mrs. Sin-
clair Lewis-Lambda, 1914
ETHEL MEAD VAN AUKEN
L
ECTURING on Russia; writing ceaselessly on various subjects; mak-
ing livable and home-like a century-old home in Vermont; being
the very companionable wife of a famous novelist; with taxing
social duties; traveling here and there in between times-these are the
duties and pleasures which nowadays fill to the brim the life of our Dor-
othy Thompson.
Back in the fall of 1912 Dorothy entered Syracuse University. She
was pledged to Alpha Chi Omega and the next spring initiated. Her
brilliant mind, her strong character, her wit and repartee, soon made
her a prominent campus figure. But to those of us who lived closely
with her in the chapter house, who affectionately called her "Dottie T,"
was she the best known. For us she made party clothes, wrote "skits"
for our "stunt nights"-I have some copies even yet-wrote inspiring
poetry, prepared party suppers-her mayonnaise was marvelous-made
perfect speeches to the freshmen. And we all sat at her feet and adored
her.
After graduation she went into suffrage work with energy and vim
and ability. When suffrage was ours she turned her time and attention
to journalism. In the spring of 1920 she was commissioned to go abroad,
there to write for the New York Evening Post and the Philadelphia
Ledger for more than eight years. Dorothy has lived in the large cities
of Europe as few American women journalists have had the opportunity.
The languages of the countries have become her own-the people her
daily companions. She knows conditions in Russia, in Germany, and
