TODAY FOR LEAGUE BUILDING
NEW WOMEN'S LEAGUE BUILDING
CEREMONIES COME AS RESULT OF
MANY YEARS OF WORK
BY WOMEN

Plans for the laying of the corner-I
stone in the new Women's league
building,, which is to take place this
afternoon at 4:15 o'clock have
reached completion according to re-
ports received from the executive
office of the Alumnae Council.
This step in the progress of the
construction of the new building
comes, not only as the consummation
* of the earnest work of the women
who have devoted the past: several
years to raising money for the build-
4 ing, but as the consummation of the
work of the early leaders of the
Women's league.
The Women's league was estab-
lished in 1890 when the need of some
unifying influence for the women of
the Michigan campus became appar-
ent. The work of organization took
place under such women as Mrs.
James B. Angell, wife of the pres-
ident, and Mrs. Gayley Brown. A
constitution was written for the or-
'ganization and a membership fee set,
while one of the first demonstrations
of actual work of the league was
shown in aid given freshman women
who were helped to find rooms,
board and roommates. Friendly calls
were made upon these women and a
general interest shown. .
Since this beginning, the interest
of the women .on the Michigan cam-
pus has been steadily unified through
this organization, and it has even
acted as a bond to the alumnae of
the University. Eventually- an alum-
nae organization developed and at
the present time there are organ-
ized groups of Michigan women
throughout th entire country.
It has been in part due to the
efforts of these organized groups that
the new building has been made pos-
sible, and even now in response to
the laying of the cornerstone almost
without exception every group of
Michigan women has responded with
the typical feeling.-,
Many of 'the organized alumnae
groups who have been most active
in - helping raise funds for the league
have seen articles to be enclosed in
the cornerstone. Notable among these
articles is a scroll sent by the group
at Grand Rapids, which has on the
cover a representation' of the various
" activities of the organization ifl rais-.
ing its pledge to the building 'fund.
The scroll is hand work on parch-
ment.
Tpical of the feeling of these
groups is' a sonnet sent from the
Pontiac group, which will also be
enclosed in the cornertsone. It is

of that group.
Of stone and marble shall this
building be.
It shall be wrought of gold from
Ophir's strand,
With rich device arranged most
cunningly,
With carvings from a skillful
artist's hand.
Such the material structure! Men
will see
It lives of beauty as they pass
along.
They will not sense the great
reality;
They will have heard the singer,
-not the song.
j This is a song of stone that rises
here,
Wrought from the memory of happy
days,
Out of the dreams we cherish year
by year,
Faith and allegiance that shall
last always.
Here may thy mother-spirit 'ichly
dwell,
Dear Alma Mater, whom we love.
so well!
Letters of congratulation have been
continually coming into the office of
the Alumnae council, prominent
among which are those received fron
Governor Green; Senator Couzens;
Charles Brush of Cleveland, one of
the largest contributors to the fund
for the new building; Robert Patter-
son LaMonte of Chicago, who made
a gift of $100,000 to the League fund;
Earl Babst of New York city and
Coach Fielding H. Yost.
Invitations for the ceremonies are
not being sent out but it is the hope of
the Alumnae council that everyone
who is interested will attend.
BABST WRITES TO
WOMEN'S LEAGUE
EXECUTIVE OFFICE
In a letter written to Mrs. W. D.
Henderson of the executive office of
the Alumnae council, congratulating
the Women's league on the laying of
the cornerstone of the new' building,
Earl Babst of New York city, repeat-
ed the following statement of Judge
Cooley, formerly of the Unievrsity:
"The founders of a State soon pass
away; but in their aims and purposes,
and to some extent in their personal
characteristics, they create,, and give
to it a character and individuality of
its own.
'So it doubtless will prove with
you and your associates..At least that
is my conviction and expectation."

Daily Bulletin o
ATHLETIC M A GAZII NE
WILL COME OUT SOON
When the Newsletter comes from
the press early next week the Wom-
en's Athletic asociation of the -Uni-
versity wil have completed its task,
due to its presidency of the Athletic;
c-nference of American College Wom-
en of publishing the annual magazine.
It has been publicly announced for the
first time this week that the magazine
is to contain an article by Helen Wills,
and in view of the fact that Miss Wills
is typical of the American sportswom-
an, the staff has deemed it fitting to
dedicate the magazine to her.
The coat-of-arms originated by Fry
and Kasurin, architects, which is to
be seen on the fireplace in the new
athletic building, has been adapted to
the puiposes of the art sections of
the magazine by Eleanor Treadwell,
'28Ed. The crest with symbols repre-
sentative of the various sports im-
posed upon it serves to divide the
Newsletter into four sections of
Features, Fall, Winter, and Spring.
The idea of the crest is further devel-
oped by a statement on the first page
that athletes are figureatively creating
the waves of life by living whole-
heartedly.
Four full pages will be devoted to
ilustrations, - one in each division of
the publication. In addition to several
cuts of the new athletic building an
etching of the Women's league build-
ing has been reproduced with the idea
that the building will be in use when
the national conference of A.C.A.C.W.
members meet in Ann Arbor in 1930.
The featured articles include one
on the new Women's athletic build-
ing by Dr. Margaret Bell, head of the'
department of Physical education, a
summary of intramural activities, 'a
review of the new gymnasiums in
R T S s>
f Sportswomen
the various universities, play-days asc
carried on by various groups, and a
birds-eye view of athletics in the Uni-t
versity of Michigan.
One noteworthy feature of to the
Newsletter is that it contains articles
by the national chairman of soccer,
hockey, basketball, baseball, and
track'and field. The authors are re-
spectively Marion Knighton, Alfreda
Moscrop, Grace E. Jones, Helen Hazel-
ton, and Alice Belding.
The staff which has represented
W.A.A. in publishing the Newsletter
is made up of Corrinne Schwarz, '29,
.editor, Valborg Egeland, '30, Eleanor,
Treadwell, '28Ed, Bessie V. Egeland,
'30, Eunice 'Child, '28Ed, Sally Knox,
'29, and Marjorie E. Follmer, '30.
Mrs. Van Sickle, of the department of
physical ,education, and Gladys Appelt,
'28, president of W.A.A., have been
'he advisers of the 'staff.
