Nil Desperandum was organized in March of 1927 and was
opened to all women students of North Dakota Agricultural College (NDAC)*
who excelled athletically and academically. This scrapbook covers not
only Nil Desperandum, but also the Women's Athletic Association, which
was organized in 1920. In April of 1927, the Women's Athletic Association
petitioned to become affiliated with the national physical education sorority,
Delta Psi Kappa (letters of support are in the scrapbook). The local chapter
at NDAC was established on June 2, 1927. The scrapbook covers the time
period of 1925 - 1927. |
