Gently returned from a trip in the south

visit to Dothan during the meeting of the
Alabama Federation of Womens clubs.
Professor Thomas made an address before
the federation on "the Need of a Dormi-

women deeply interested in the matter.
The prospects for a fine dormitory for
young women at the university in the
courst of a short time,'' said Professor
Thomas, are exceedingly good. -
THE plan is to build dormtory cost

present idea is to build 1t by sections

the other sections will be added.
