The Faculty Women's Club During the years of Macalester's existence the wives of the faculty have done much for the college and the students, but it was not in an organized manner by which any business methods could be maintained. The need 'of an organization was sorely felt, but it was not until Nov. 19, 1907, that steps were taken to organize. On that day a meeting was called of the wives of the trustees and professors, and the women of the faculty at the home of Mrs. T. M. Hodgman. Mrs. Hodgman, who had formerly belonged to the Faculty Women's Club of the University of Nebraska, was able to give much valuable aid in the formation of a similar organization at Macalester, which adopted its constitution and by-laws with a few changes and is known as the Faculty Women's Club of Macalester College. Monthly meetings are held from September until June have been most enjoyable and beneficial. Through the instrumentality of the Club twelve rooms were furnished at lVallace Hall, all the pillows and mattresses covered, and, with thc co-operation of Miss Clough and the student government at Wallace Hall, such a high degree of excellence has been maintained that the Club finds its work complete there. The Men's Dormitory has been benefited by the Club in the procuring of a cozy parlor and reading room. At the beginning of each college year student receptions are held at Wallace Hall or at the homes of the trustees and have proved a great success. May the object of the Faculty lVomen's Club to promote good fellowship among its members and to co-operate in any enterprise which will advance the interests of the college be realized to the grateful appre- ciation of the students and the just pride of its members. MRS. C. E. MacKEAN. 23
