Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Round Table Records consist of the club's constitutions and by-laws, several club histories, annual program booklets and various subject files. The club constitution and by-laws were originally published in pamphlet form in 1897. Since then there has been two updated versions, all three of which can be found in the file. The Club History Series contains several histories prepared by various club members. Included are the presentations from the 25th anniversary in 1922, the 35th anniversary in 1932, the 40th anniversary in 1947 and the 60th anniversary in 1957. The program written by Lois Vogel in 1991 is a brief summary of the club minutes from 1897 to 1917. (The actual club minutes were not donated with the collection.) The history of the Round Table club from 1960 to 1991 was also written by Lois Vogel. There is also a booklet which lists all the program topics from 1897 to 1991 as well as the club presidents, boards of directors, program committees, social committees (1961-1991), quotations and highlights.
