| HISTORICAL NOTE |
| Science Club was a student organization founded on May 7, 1909 and was, according to the 1910 Rockety-I yearbook, established "for the purpose of promoting the study of the natural sciences." The club initially met every Friday where its members attended a lecture on a science-related topic. The club was not featured in the majority of the Rockety-I yearbooks during this decade; originally, Science Club consisted of only male members, but females participated in its 1921 re-introduction to the Rockety-I. The club was sponsored by a Club Council of students and faculty such as Dr. J.P. Magnusson and professor Hal Yingling. |

| SCOPE AND CONTENT |
The Science Club Collection is very small and consists primarily of correspondence concerning the purchase and payment of the Science Bulletin for club members, minimal financial records, and a few scientific articles. The the majority of the articles (typed and handwritten) appear to be student and professor contributions and include: "Enzymes and Enzyme Reactions" by Carl Rylander, "Gelatine" by Leroy Stark, and "Colloids" by J. P. Magnusson. Also included is a 1923 edition of The Science Newsletter.
