Administrative History
The Sociology Club of Indiana University was created on November 10, 1936. The
purpose of the club was to establish an organization for interacting with fellow
students and instructors and to instill a deeper insight and a more vital interest
in sociology. Dr. Edwin H. Sutherland, Professor of Sociology presided over the club
from the beginning. Membership in the club was first approved for all Juniors and
Seniors majoring in Sociology, and at a later date to all others who applied and
were voted in by a majority of members attending meetings. All Sociology faculty
were honorary members of the club. The Club’s last meeting was held on March 14,
1940, where there were too few undergraduates to elect the following year’s
officers.
Arrangement
The collection consists of a single book of minutes and a folder containing the Club
constitution.
