Pounds Scholarships
For Deserving Students.
Immediately upon its inception, the
Columbian Women entered upon the
work OF founding scholarships for de-
serving woman students. AS soon as
this fund was completed other funds
were inaugurated. Today the Column
bian Women have five scholarship funds
which maintain five woman students In
the university each year. Other prof.

past IS years The record includes the
raising of fund for the library. the
furnishing of women's quarters In the
university buildings, contributions to
the building and endowment fund of
the university. the donating Of cups
and other awards for student activities.
Each year since 1907 the annual ban
quet has been the elimination of an
active year of service.
The past year has been a particularly
notable one in the history of Columbia
women, marked by such brilliant social
functions as the reception In honor of
the president of the university and Mrs.
Cloyd Heck Marvin at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Larz Anderson, and the
theater benefit given October 81 when
1t was the privilege of the Columbia
women to have as honor guests the
President Of the United States and Mrs.
