M. COOK BY BRANDI HORTON artha Cook was a traditional all-women resi- dence hall. The majority of women that resided within the framework were graduate and upperclass under- graduate students. The building was a gift to the University in 1 9 1 5 by alumnae, William W. Cook. The Gothic-style building, adjacent to the Law Quad, had a long terrace that overlooked a magnificent garden. Events at Martha Cook were quite formal compared to other residence halls; for instance, the students held formal teas and semi-formal dances. Martha Cook also had a private tennis court, a ballet and exercise area, and served fresh linen weekly to its residents. The professional ladylike residence hall, was a fine alterna- tive to modern residence halls where tradition existed in everything that represented the hall. 1 A It I 11 A Cook resides next to the Law Quad on South University.

ALICE LLOYD BY RONALD MEANS Alice Lloyd Hall was named for Alice Crocker Lloyd. Miss Lloyd was a group advisor to the women students of the University of Michigan and dedicated her life to the welfare of these very students. In 1930, she gained the much deserved title of the Dean of Women on campus. In honor of her memory, a new residence hall that was being erected on the Hill was given the name Alice Lloyd. The residence hall was originally an all- women ' s residence, but only housed 284 students. The six-story hall then became the co-educational home for the Pilot Program, which was formerly housed in East Quad and Markley. A Ij 1 ; EI Lloyd residence hall could house as many as 622 men and women. It contained 260 substance -free rooms for sophomores and freshman.
