Abstract:

Records of the Campus Dames, La Crosse, Wisconsin, which was founded as a literary and social club for the wives of faculty at the La Crosse State Teachers College (later University of Wisconsin-La Crosse). Its activities later expanded to establishing a student loan fund, a campus beautification program, and other activities of both a civic and social nature. The records consist of bake sale and other fundraising materials, news clippings of member biographies and obituaries, constitution and by-laws, a chronology of the organization, minutes, history and anniversary materials, newsletters, the President’s Book, programs, member directories, scholarship committee materials, education fund materials, treasurer’s reports, photographs, and scrapbooks. The photographs are identified and document activities and social gatherings of the club. In June of 2013 members voted to disband.
