Coed AssociZ
fin Establishin
After Inspirai
By BIETTY MOOD
The Young Women's Christian
ssociation had its beginning in
Abruary, 1921. 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.

Hampton dormitory in 1924. 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..

er suffered bad health before
irst infirmary on the campus
of that year. . 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.
