WOMEN’S DIVISION 423

CONTESTS AND TOURNAMENTS FOR WOMEN

The Women’s Athletic Association cooperates with the Department in
the conduct of women’s activities. “Sports-for-all” is the objective towards
which the Women’s Athletic Association is working. The activities are
numerous and diverse so that every girl may enjoy some form of exercise.

Intramural activities interest large numbers of girls; class teams are
active during the entire year in all the various sports; the W. A. A. Cottage
on Lake Mendota affords excellent opportunities for week-end parties and
picnics; Outing Club promotes interest in such activities as hiking, skiing,
coasting, tobogganing, and ice skating; Dolphin Club stimulates interest in
swimming, diving, and water games; Orchesus is an advanced dancing class
organized to give opportunity beyond the regular scheduled class work.
