NAME FOR WOMEN'S DORMITORY

The Committee appointed to select a name for the Women's Dormitory made a report.

The Alumnae Association has sent a petition to Miss Hollingsworth, Dean of Women, requesting
that the Women's Dormitory be named Mary Munford Hall. Mrs. Willis stated that the
Committee felt that, since no building at the University was named for Thomas Jefferson's favorite
daughter, Martha, this name should be considered.

The Committee further stated that they had been advised that no building at the University
had been named without a faculty committee first suggesting to the Board certain names for
consideration. The Committee of the Board felt that such a faculty committee should be created.
Whereupon a resolution was adopted requesting the President to appoint such a committee.
