UNIVERSITY WOMEN 261 The improvement of living conditions among women has been steady, and has received a great impetus in the construction of the first residence hall. The very increase in their numbers was a powerful factor in making their lot happier, for their special activities enlarged, and they were enabled to build up a richer world of extra-curricular activities. The Woman's Building brought with it parlors and rest rooms as well as offices and gymnasium, and has been the center of the work and play of the women ever since. With the assistance of the sororities and church dormitories, the proportion of womeni in boarding houses has been kept from growing too great, while the dean of women—Mrs. A. H. Daniels, Miss Lily G. KoUock, Mrs. Mary Fawcett, Miss Martha J. Kyle, and Miss Fanny C. Gates have successively served as dean or acting dean since Miss Jayne resigned in 1904—has exercised a constant supervision. Finally, there has been a notable increase in the number of faculty women, and this has sensibly improved the atmosphere.
