Women's Dormitory Occupies Site of North College; Named in Honor of Dr. Alberta Corbin
Few will recognize, in Corbin hall the women's new dormitory, the spot where once stood old North College. A site once dear to the heart of many of our old grads has been dedicated to a new purpose.
Although the need for dormitories at the University of Kansas has been felt for many years the real movement toward this end was not started until about 1010. The plan then was to interest the friends and alumni of the University, to raise the sum of $75,000.
A so-called "Woman's Day" was held as a part of this movement among the alumnus. Women from all over the state were invited and many prominent women attended. At this meeting, which was held in Roberson gymnasium, much enthusiasm was aroused, and the spirit began to spring up. The creation of four women's demographies in four of the state institutions.
The students were represented by Miss Beoulah Murphy, and the faculty by Dr. Alberta L. Corbin. At this meeting $3000 was pledged toward a dormitory for women at the University of Kansas.
The immediate movement which resulted in Corbin hall and the other three doryitories in the state, was a meeting held in January of 1920. At this time the dews of women from the schools of the state met together to consider the problem of better housing conditions.
Communication was held between the representatives of these schools and the governor of the state, then Henry J. Allen. A state-wide committee for dormitories was formed of four representatives, from each of the five state schools. This committee met in Topkapi and conferred with Glen Allen. Representatives from University of Kansas, Professor Templem, Profession Ice, Miss Corbin, and the president of W. S. G. A.
Much interest was shown throughout the state for these darmenities and the committee which finally put the bill through the Kansas legislature was a committee of five women drawn from the Kansas council of women. They drew on the bill and sent it to the state legislature. It was entirely anurit from the budget presented by the state schools, Friends
of the University sent petitions to state representatives whom they believed to be favorable to the cause. Many of the women of the University sent to Teppei and talked perilously to members of the state legislature.
The bill叫 for a million dollars. Only one-half of it, that sum was appropriated. As this was insufficient to build five dormitories, the Kansas State Agricultural College voluntarily withdrew its petition. As a result the University of Kansas now has Corinth hall.
One hundred and thirty, women live in the new dormitory and are saved the ordeal of room-hunting. These women have all the comforts of a private home with none of the drawbacks of a room-house.
Corbin hall has four floors above ground and two below. The first basement contains the dining hall and kitchen. The other rooms are the trunk and furnaces room.
The first floor, in addition to the women's room, has the reception room; beautifully furnished, with lamps, rags, and drapes in harmonizing color.
Corbin hall is in charge of a house manager and a social director, but the woman governs themselves. The rules of W. S. G. A. serve as a bask. They elect their own officers. Those in turn select the governing board, which includes eight proctors, two for each floor.
The name, Cariball山 is in honor of Miss Alberta Corbin, who gave her uniting effort toward securing the building. Other members of the faculty who deserve much credit for their efforts are: Miss Oliver, Miss Gallo, Miss Neuen-Schwander, Professor Templin, and Professor Ise. It is the hope of many that before long the University of Kansas will have dormitories for all under-graduates, both men and women.
