Abstract:
The University of Wisconsin – Madison International Club was founded in 1903 to create opportunities for students of all nationalities to socialize and develop mutual understanding. The club hosted an annual costume ball, a speakers' bureau where foreign students presented about their homelands, language lessons, and various social events. This collection includes photographs, publications, correspondence, event programs, an album of national anthems from around the world, and a scrapbook documenting the activities of the International Club from 1909-1963. The photographs document the club's costume balls, tours, cultural dinners, dances, and guest speakers from 1933 to 1959. The scrapbook covers the club's history from 1929 until 1953, and includes newspaper clippings, event programs, photographs, and other ephemera.
