campus, with the exception ofk
Martha Cook, these two houses
have played an important role in
campus life since 1915 for New-:
berry and 1920 for Barbour.
The founders of Newberry and
Barbour have taken a large part
in the traditions that have been
retained by both dorms.
Mrs. Helen Newberry Joy and
her brother Truman H. New-
berry gave Newberry Residence
in memory of their mother. Their
father had graduated valedictor-
ian'of his class at the Univer-
sity.
Every year, in commemoration
of Helen Newberry's birthday, the
women of Newberry hold a birth-
day dinner. Mrs. Joy always at-
tends this dinner and speaks to
the *omen who are to be formally
initiated into life at the dormitory.
Each woman is presented a red
rose and signs her name on the
log of Newberry.
Holding their welcome dinner
today, residents of Betsy Barbour
Night has meant either friendly
competition or backing depending
upon whether one or both houses
reach the finals.
Both houses have joined in
after. football teas, and at one
time the lawn between the two
was the scene of various ath-
letic activities.
At one time Newberry and Bar-
bour had a football rivalry with
nated by decree axf Heanth Ser-
vice in 1950, Newberry took per-
manent possession of the jug-
glet.
An honors dinner is held in both
dorms in the spring, when each
house honors women in high of-
fices in the house and on campus,
presents corsages to women who
have maintained a scholastic aver-
age of 3.0 or above and announces
the officers for the coming year.
Mrs. Ruth Merrill, resident di-
rector of Helen Newberry, speaks
of the loyalty and spirit of the
dorm. She tells of a woman who
had lived in Newberry 26 years
ago and had never wanted to re-
turn for fear that the dorm had
changed. Finally she came in and
visited and left saying that she
felt the spirit was more intense
than ever.
Mrs. Martha Strauss, resident
director of Barbour, expressed a
wish to keep Barbour like a large
home to the women living there,
