THE NORMAL ADVANCE 29. In addition to social activities, the League hopes to undertake other lines of work. While it has not been definately determined just what this work shall be, the following have been suggested for consideration of the executive . committee in the near future: 1.

To raise money for the use of a room' at one of the hospitals, which shall be acces- sible to our students. 3. To provide a fund for lectures, etc., which shall be of special interest to our women students. I 4. To establish a'loun fund for women stu- dents.
