President Latham's dinner parties for campus leaders and for football and band men, as well as Homecoming activities and the annual Women's League and Men's Union dinners crowded the fall calendar. Sunday afternoon leisure time hours, the Christmas Carol Service and the Christmas Supper Party, with the Senior Prom, the Washington Ball, the Old Gold Beauty Dance and the Inter-sorority and Inter-fraternity dances sand- wiched in between Tutor Tickler practices made the Commons a busy place during the winter season. Announcement of lectures, teas, dinners, dances, style shows and committee meetings where something else was being hatched have filled the Bulletin Board this spring. Soon the terrace will be bedecked with gay chairs and um- brellas for the joy of summer students. The Line when it wasn't crowded The Georgian Lounge Miss Works, tho director of the Commons

BAKER HALL AT NIGHT Jectcje ALL for MEN Baker Hall is the newest building on the campus. It first opened its doors for occu- pancy by the men students of the campus at the opening of the summer term. The dormitory has been named for George T. Baker, President of the Iowa State Board of Education. Mr. Baker has been President of the Education Board since it was first organized. In May, the man for whom the new build- ing was to be named, along with other members of the Board of Education, came to the campus for the dedication. Mr. Baker was guest of honor of the College during the celebration of the opening of the new men's dormitory. The new building contains a recreation room with billiard and ping-pong tables, a solarium, and lounge for the leisure time of the residents. Since the dormitory first opened its doors to occupants it has housed such distin- guished guests as Richard Halliburton, famed lecturer and explorer; Nat S. Finney, city editor of the Minneapolis Star; Rudolph Ganz, renowned pianist of Chicago; George Yates, photographer for the Des Moines Register and Tribune, and the debate team from Oxford University at Oxford, England. Dean Leslie I. Reed, Dr. Harold Bosley, and Coach Clyde L. Starbeck were chosen to act as the sponsors of Baker Hall. Pago 32
