it has made it possible to entertain college guests, and to offer a 

 hospitality to transient visitors at the College which it could not offer 

 before. 



During the year, the students of the division have organized a Girls' 

 Student Council. This Council will concern itself with many and varied 

 interests in the division, and will work with the Mens' Student Council 

 to maintain the traditions and standards of the College and to promote 

 progress. We feel that the organization of this Council will be a great 

 help in developing the life of the division. 



Owing to the growth and to the increased specialization in the division, 

 as well as to facilitate the financial management, separate departments 

 of Domestic Science and Domestic Art have been created with separate 

 budgets, the remaining work of the division being carried on under the 

 denomination — Dean's Office and Dormitories. This is in line with the 

 development of the work of the division, and with the hope which we 

 have had that eventually the dormitory life and department life may 

 be made as distinct as possible. 



The greatest need which we have in our division at present is the 

 need for a Home Enonomics Building, in which the class work can be 

 carried on apart from the dormitoiy and social life of the College, as 

 I suggested in my report for last year. Owing to the increase in numbers, 

 it will be necessary for some provision to be made for extra laboratory 

 space for the coming year, but we are hoping that as soon as conditions 

 will permit, the question of a building suitable to the larger needs of 

 the division may again be given consideration.
