Its founding was e culmination of efforts of both e city .YWCA of Columbia and e women students. Prior to this ne, the only organization for wo en on campus was the Co-ed as ciation, founded in 1919. At the meeting of the Co-ed as ciation on Nov. 13, 1919, Miss lise B. Heller, general secretary oni national headquarters of the WCA, urged that although wo en had no dormitory and thus SUli o(t ha"C a ""ascain ey could work on "Y" work rough the Co-ed association. There were about 70 women stu nts at this time-the growth of e enrollment being limited by e fact that there were no dormi ry accommodations. However, e women students adopted Miss ller's plan with enthusiasm, and ' activities were begun. The Is sponsored a carnival to raise mey to send delegates to the stu nt volunteer conference in Des Aines in 1920. The carnival, fea ring such attractions as a cave horrors. an airplane ascent, and e biggest goose in the world, was tremendous success, and three legates were sent to the confer ve. The girl; alo helipeds athe WCA in its annual freshman ban et, raised money for a study on for girls, and helped plan -bor Day, a d.ay set aside for !aning up and planting trees on e campus. In February of 1921, through the forts of' Miss Dudley and Miss mnmark of the city YWCA, the NCA at the university wvas unded. The organization ope tedl under the auspices of the y YWCA and met twice a month. ss Mary Graydon wvas elected first president. T1he organization coop)erated th dhicora and Columbia colleges d held meetings wvith representa es of these schools to discuss ins and problems of their re ective YWCA's. Various plays d vaudeville shows were given the YW to raise money for iding delegates to Blue itidge. Nov. 17, 1921, a letter appear in the Gamecock from a patient the infirmary thanking the VCA' for fudge and roses sent to n.

Irene I Dilard was now dean of women I and the women students were more I closely associated than ever be- , fore. A YWCA cabinet coordinated I the activities of the association and c beginning in 1925 annual retreats I were held at lakes or camps around the city. A big-sister-little-sister project . was begun, in which "Y" girls ( wearing the triangular "Y" recog- I nition pin met freshmen coming to I school in the train. Christmas t parties for orphans were held as enrO an 1922) with the YMCA. The project of publishing the "Y" handbooks for new students t was begun in 1925, the YW and YM working together. Vespers r were held weekly, with girls from f Coiumbia coiiege invited. In 1928 s the YW had grown enough for the r freshmen to have a separate coun cil meeting with their own officers and with their own activities. The YWCA was also encouraged in its, efforts by the advisory board, organized in 1931. This board, composed of interested fac ulty members or friends, serves in an advisory capacity to the or ganization. In 1933 Miss Elizabeth Lindsay t gave part-time service to the YW. She was followed by Miss Lodema t Gaines in 1939 and Miss Joyce Hetzel, who served from 1944 to February, 1945. These secretaries have coordinated the work of the "Y" and have given the women students excellent guidance and in spiration in their activities. Miss Mar-ie Edwards rep)laced Miss Het zel in September, 1947, as the gen eral "Y" secretary. D)uring the '30's the Carolina Christian Service club, c.onsisting of both men and women, was or g;anized. This organization spon sors visits to the Alms House, Coni feder-ate liomne, Veterans' hospital, and other *similar- institutions. Deputation teams wvere sent to col leges and high schools over the tate. The Y'n G-Ir, a bulletin of the Y WCA, was p)ublished during these years. This later became the "Y Newsletter" and 'then the "Y's Owl." Religious Emphasis Week, begun in 1929, became an annual activity, featuring outstanding sp)eakers from all over the country. D)uring the svar years the YW Logether with the YM sponsored )ond rallies, helped in USO wvork, and gave p)arties for soldiers. While the YM and YW began as entirely separate organizations, their activities have ten4ed, to be -ome more and more coordinated. At p)resent, most of the general meetings arec combined, except for thb over-all cabinets which meet separately. Class council meetings urec held together and often "Y" -abi nets aund retreats are held jointly. Thus the "Y" has come to include men and women stu lenuts, working together..

Money for its ,n the sale of a university lot. This early infirmary was located in the center of the block on the South side of College street be tween Sumter and Main streets. No records were left concerning its cost or the name of the. architect. In 1907 Mrs. Ann Jeter gave $15,000 to the university as a memorial to her nephew, Wallace Thompso.)n, a graduate in the class of 1888. It was decided to build a new infirmary on the corner of Bull and Green streets with this gift. The old infirmary became the home of Prof. Patterson Wardlaw, and in 1931, it was torn down so that Wardlaw college could be built on that site. Construction of the new infirm ary began the third period of building at the university. The architect was Gadsden and Shand, and the final cost of construction was $15,000. The state legisla ture appropriated money for mod ern equipment. In September, 1908, the Wallace Thmopson Memorial infirmary,'a one-story brick structure, was of ficially opened to the campus. Today, still in active service, and with modern equipment, the infirm ary has a staff of six nurses and one doctor, Dr. Henry G. Waddell. It is composed of two consultation rooms, a large ward for men and a large ward for women, several small contagion wards, a kitchen, and a small dining room for the staff. Students are always welcome at the infirmary, whether their ail ment requires nose drops, aspirin, or consultation with Doctor Wad dell, all of which are given free.
