The purpose of the society is to provide educational and benevolent assistance to “women teachers and students by means of founding scholarships for study, for developing loyalty and high ideals in the teaching profession, and for conferring distinction upon women educators of the teaching profession.” The records concern primarily the organization's members and activities over the first sixty-five years of its existence. In particular, there are several biographies of early members, two scrapbooks, several “histories” of the organization, reports, and newsletters.
