dARCH 29, 1928 THE MICHIGAN DAILY u MWAVASM CL!s 1 !1 "l P __ i CORNERSTONE WILL BE LAID TODAY FOR LEAGUE BUILDING NEW WOMEN'S LEAGUE BUILDING CEREMONIES COME AS RESULT OF MANY YEARS OF WORK BY WOMEN EVE RYONE IS INVITED j Congratulations Have Been Received At Alumnae Council Office From Notables 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 Flower Bowls and Vases Of Exceptional Beauy for the Spring Bouquet Many, Many Delightful Sugges- bions Rere from Which to Choose Mary Louise Shop Nickels Arcade the work of Ethel M. Lighterness '12 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." - c~> SPO 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.
