1923 originating in India, more perfected in Japan, and in recent years brought to America by the late Professor Arthur Wesley Dow, of Columbia University, and that the designs should be symbolic of campus life. The students in the art class entered eagerly into the plan as part of their class assignment, and went to work on their indi- vidual designs. Any number of campus symbols were patiently carved on the little blocks of wood, but the designs finally accepted were these: The girls walking across the bridge , The girls skipping across the bridge , the old-fashioned pantalette girl , Zeke ringing the college bell , The Tea House , Birds and trees . These you will find printed upon the draperies at the windows, upon the hangings at the hall door, or upon the sofa pillows. Miss Harriett Hylton, of Greensboro, is the manager of the Tea House. Three regular meals a day are served. A la carte and afternoon tea are also featured. Recently a showcase was installed, and in this is carried an assortment of candies and other things designed to tempt the hungry schoolgirl. A number of articles have been sent by various alumna: for display in the showcase — handkerchiefs, towels, bags, luncheon sets, table covers, aprons, baby garments, home-made candies, and the like, and they have found a ready sale. Such articles will be gladly received any day, and the proceeds will be added to the building fund. Naturally, time is required for establishing any business venture firmly, but we have already had much to encourage us, not the least of which is the often expressed satisfaction of our college community, and of our returning alumnas, that such a place as the Tea House is situated upon the campus. Those familiar with living conditions outside the home — and we are legion — know what a vexing problem it is to find a place where the right kind of food is served in the midst of congenial surroundings. The alumnae can truly feel that they have made a real contribution to the campus life of their Alma Mater. INTERIOR OF ALUMNAE TEA HOUSE 23
