Mrs. Bradford Makes Talk En-
dorsing the Movement.

Thirty Kenosha women, all college
graduates, met Saturday afternoon in
the women s lounge at the Elks Club
and organized the Kenosha College
Club, a society designed to foster the
higher education of women in Kenosha
and to furnish a medium for closer as
ISOLATION of the college women of the
city. The initial draft of constitu-
tion for the organization was submit
ted for discussion and steps taken to
secure charter for the club in the
American Collegiate Association.
The aims Of the club were very clear
ly defined in addresses made at the Sat
urday afternoon meeting by Mrs. Mary
D. Bradford, Miss Louise Ross of Keno
sha, and Miss Lois Owens of Milwau
kee, all members of collegiate clubs Of
other cities. Mrs. Bradford spoke Of
the need in Kenosha for better edu-
cational balance and suggested that the
college club would help attain this goal.
She declared that a college club could
be a great help in a political and civic
way andNas a result a motion was pass
ed that the aims of the organization
be widened to include that of coopera
tion in all measures that made for civic
betterment.
Miss Louise Ross followed with an
interesting talk on the work done by
the Springfield, Illinois, Collegiate
Alumnae Club. She told how this club
had been instrumental in urging High
School girls to 60 to college and in
giving them vocational guidance. She
also spoke Of the aid the Illinois club
had given in solving the domestic help
problem by organizing the High School
girls as helpers in the homes Miss
Owens presented the work of the Mil
waukee association and explained how
the club Of that city offered a scholar
ship worth 5000 for some coed each
year and also carried on two homes, one
for teachers and one for girls employed
in the downtown district. 1t is prob
able that the Kenosha organization will
follow these suggestions in carrying
out the plans of the society.
The addresses were followed by in
formal discussion Of the project and
friendly sociability fover the tea
cups" while a dainty lunch was
served. The next meeting of the or
ganization will be held on Tuesday af-
ternoon, October 14th, at ree-thirty
0 clock when Mrs. Walter Hammond
aud Mrs. Griffith Richards will be the
hostesses at the home of the latter at
