Biographical / Historical

The Dames Club was formed in 1916 as a social club for women employed by North Central College and wives who had husbands employed by the College. The Club changed its name to the C & S Club in the early 1960s and is currently known as the North Central College Woman’s Organization. All three names, however, are used interchangeably after 1960.
