The Woman's League is the campus organization of all University women. It is the most active and influential of the feminine g r o u p s on the campus. It sponsors self-government a m o n g the women, a spirit of unity, and an attitude of democracy. It formulates the general rules for women students. It carries on an active program of social events, teas, receptions, and other meetings. It sponsors the W o m a n ' s Group System, organization of independent University women; it stages several dramatic productions, operates the W o m a n ' s League Cooperative Houses, and cooperates with the Illinois Union in the management of Homecoming, D a d ' s Day, and M o t h e r ' s Day. In addition to its office in the Student Center, it has general offices in the W o m a n ' s Building, on the campus. The two organizations, the Illinois Union and the W o m a n ' s League, together form the largest organized unit of the student body. They serve as welfare organizations for t h e students, and from the membership of the two can be secured broad and objective opinions of the students. Any matter which affects the student body as a whole can be considered by these two groups with the understanding that representative student opinion can be secured from them. They are large organizations but planned so that their units can function with expediency and efficiency. T o g e t h e r they contribute a great deal to the campus.
