Biographical / historical:

In 1935, the University of Georgia Woman's Club was reorganized into a Club that is essentially the same as the one currently in existance. The purpose of the Club, as set out in speeches by early presidents, was (1) aid to students (2) cooperation with the faculty (3) assistance to the president of the University of Georgia. Later, constitutions declared the object of the Club to be to promote good fellowship among its members, to furnish them organized opportunities for profitable association and, when possible, to further the interests of the University. *University of Georgia Woman's Club: a history.
