FACULTY SENATE x It meets once a month welfare of the University. GUILD OFFICE The Valparaiso University Guild had its beginning in April of 1931 when a group of women met on the campus to formally organize the National Womerfs Committee of the Lutheran University Association. The intent of the group is four-fold: de- velopment of a greater interest in the uni- versity as an institution of Christian higher learning; giving financial assistance to our university, through the Lutheran Univer- sity Association; assisting in increasing stu- dent enrollment; and seeking to provide facilities necessary for the students, wel- fare. The Guild now has a membership of almost 6,000 in 78 chapters throughout the United States and hold their annual convention on the campus. Mrs. Ruprecht, Guild Secretary
