YAMACI?AW to ' i The Ogletkorpe Woman ' s Board OMEN have always wanted to be a large part in the making of great dreams, so it was in January 1917 the Woman ' s Board of Oglethorpe was organized by a group of sixty women. This unique organization has now grown to a number beyond three hundred. It is an institution es- tablished as a natural co-worker with the Board of Founders of the university, but its aim is to supply the mother touch. Someone expressed a thought to this effect, If I had only two loaves of bread, I would sell one of them to buy hyacinths for my soul . The Woman ' s Board is providing the young men and women of Oglethorpe with the beautiful things, furnishing a delicate nourishment for their souls. There is hardly an activity of Oglethorpe which does not find inspira- tion in the spontaneous support so generously offered by this group of noble women. The Woman ' s Board is divided into committees, each re- presenting some particular phase of endeavor at the university. The or- chestra, the infirmary, and the campus find special care in the hands of these splendid women. The Players ' Club, the football team, and the co-ed basketball team have all known the thrill from the genuine interest taken in them. The personnel of the Woman ' s Board are leaders in the religious, patriotic, civic, and social life of Atlanta; tliey are friends who are build- ing Oglethorpe in a hundred ways.
