From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 25, 1912:

“In the near future it is very probable that one of the school buildings in the city will be thrown open at night so that a social center club organized by the town and college girls may have a suitable place in which to meet. At a meeting of some of the girls the most interested held last night at the city Y.M.C.A. building, it was decided that the most plausible plan would be to ask the city school board for the use of one of the buildings. These are located centrally and the girls from every part of town could manage to attend the meetings conveniently…. The plan is to establish a social center at which the town and college girls may have a chance to meet one another and to become acquainted in the real sense of the word. The University girls feel that when they attend college their lives run in decidedly narrow grooves. All they know is their school life, their club, or sorority life. Of the outside world they known practically nothing, of the real life that many of the town girls lead in the business world, where they are making their living at the various professions. The college girls feel that they would like to meet the town girls, and the town girls know that they would like to have a footing of friendship with those who are attending the University of Kansas.”
