Like its "sister dorm," Watkins hall was a gift to the University from the late Mrs. J. B. Watkins, former student and benefactor. Both women's residence halls are located on Lilac lane.
In 1926 Watkins hall was established in memory of Mrs. Watkins' husband.
Scholarships are awarded yearly to candidates selected by members of the University committee on scholarships. Ten years after the founding of Watkins hall, hundreds of alumnae wrote Mrs.Watkins thanking her for the opportunity, and telling her what they had accomplished with their college training.
Muriel Stember is president of Watkins hall. Other officers are June Peterson, vice-president; Caroline Crocker, secretary; Mary Jane Vogt, treasurer; Violet Conard, house manager.

If You're Thinking of Marrying An Englishman, This Is for You
The Louisiana highway system has 10,098 miles of gravel which costs about $600 per mile per year to maintain as compared with $350 for asphalt and $250 for concrete.
A double-barreled passport to any place in English society—this is the property of any American woman with a University education.
"With your education and because you are an American, no class in England would be above or below you," writes an Oklahoma university graduate who married a Britiser, in advice to a K.U. student who contemplates living in England after graduation.
Commenting on her experiences as a wife in England, she says:
"Class distinctions exist in a greater degree than at home, but everyone accepts the fact. Acquaintance in a class different from your husband's would be unwise to continue.
The favorite pastime of married women is strolling in the parks with the pram. Walking is an art that must be cultivated. The greatest compliment a mother can have said of her is that she takes baby for a stroll every day, rain or shine.
"No one breezes out of the house to town unless carefully dressed. Gloves are always worn—even in the days of no hats and hose.
"The Britishers' lack of humor is only a fable. Their democracy is in some ways truer than our own. The free press is a treat. Sometimes you might think they are caustic about foreign affairs, but they are even more critical about their own.
'Never call a Scottsman, Irishman,
or Welshman, English. They all
have traditions and a language of
their own. To a patriotic-minded
Welshman, the English are inter-
loopers. The English were in loin
skins when our civilization had
developed,' they say.
"The British believe in lasting things. A house is built for hundreds of years' use—therefore not equipped with conveniences to which we are accustomed. Only the comparatively wealthy have such modern conveniences as refrigerators,
ranges, and electric sweepers, since mass production has not come in those lines to bring the price within the average income."
