H -9 RECEPTION ROOM Ocottisn Jvite JJormitory Daughters of Texas Masons find in the Scottish Rite Dormitory a dwelling place of comfort and beauty. Both within the well-equipped building and on the spacious lawns every effort has been made to provide an atmosphere as attractive and as pleasing as possible. Built in 1922 by the Scottish Rite Educational As- sociation of Texas, the dormitory is today one of the important centers of social life on the University campus. Informal dances each week, a formal dance each semester, occasional dinners, and traditional teas and garden parties are some of the affairs that are long remembered by the three hundred and twenty-five girls who stay in the dormitory each year. The Sardine, yearbook of the dormitory, has been published each year by the girls. The book contains pictures of the girls, the directors, and the favorite nooks and corners of the building. Also in the book are eulogized and satirized the most important and colorful events of life in the dormitory. The editor-in-chief and the business manager are elected, and they choose their assistants. A splendid collection of rare editions and of old classics is to be found in the Sue Higgins Cochran Memorial Library presented to the dormitory by Mr. Sam P. Cochran of Dallas and dedicated May 14, 1931. A portrait of Mrs. Cochran had been a gift to the dormitory from the girls who wished to express their loyalty and re- gard for Mr. Cochran, author of the Scottish Rite Dormitory movement. Mr. Cochran was president of the Scottish Rite Educational Association at the time of the establishment of the dormitory. Judge J. W. McClendon of Austin, Judge VV. S. Fly of San Antonio, and Mr. D. K. Wood- ward of Austin, first, second, and third vice-presidents, respectively, were active, also, in furthering the plan originated by Mr. Cochran. The dormitory is governed by a board of thirteen directors, who are members of the Association, and who meet annually in Austin. I ' age sol
