The Michigan Agricultural College Woman's Club was first organized in May 1903 and federated in May 1904 at the state level, in April 1919 at the county level, and in March 1922 at the general level. The first president was Maude Gilchrist, who was Dean of Women and of the Home Economics Division of Michigan Agricultural College. (From page 1 of the manuscript) In 1922, the club was renamed to the East Lansing Woman's Club. The club's motto is: "As you learn, teach; as you get, give; as you receive, distribute."
