order; to be a medium by which the
social standard of the university may
be made and kept high; to foster the
spirit of unity and loyalty to the Uni

fore its members subjects that are
of special interest and Importance to
college women.
The club accomplishes its purpose
by means of parties for all university

annual events through the work of
the Girls' club.

sity arc associate members of this
organization and active members on
payment of dues. The annual dues
are 50 cents, half of which ia used
for the current expenses of the club;
and the remainder for the establish
ment of a permanent fund for the care
of sick women students and for as
sisting those who are making their
own way through school.
The club is governed by an execu
tive board and a council. The execu
tive board consists of the dean of
women, four officers and three mem
bers each from the senior, junior and
sophomore classes. The council Is
