Brooklyn clubwomen plan a lasting tribute to Mrs. Amorette E. Fraser, dean of woman's club life, who died last Winter at the age of 103.

The memorial will take the form of a unit to be known i6 as the Amorette E.

Clubwomen In Brooklyn are subscribing to a fund that will enroll the names of their clubs on the tablet that will be placed in the main hall of Fraser House. Individual club members are subscribing modest amounts that will enroll their names on parchment sheets that will be bound into a record book for Fraser House. This democratic plan of raising the necessary funds was the idea of Mrs.

William Hays Lawrence, one of Brooklyn's busiest clubwomen, who Is serving as chairman of the Kings County committee of the buildlnj and scholarship campaign fund for $100,000. Mrs. Robert Low Bacon, a trustee of Adelphi College, heads the special gifts committee and Mrs. Webster J. Williams of Hollis, also an Adelphi trustee, Is treasurer.

Clubwoman's Vision It was Mrs. Lawrence's vision, too, to dedicate one of the buildings in the proposed dormitory at Adelphi to the memory of Mrs. Fraser, who was a pioneer among clubwomen In promoting civic and community projects.
