Meeting Ledger, 1929 - 1944
Scope and Content Note
The Bates Round Table was formed in October, 1896, by Professors A.W. Anthony and Addison Small, for "the cultivation of the social and literary talents of its members." These members included the faculty and select staff of the college, and their spouses. Regular meetings were held, at which talks were given by members, followed by discussions and socializing. Often guest speakers were brought in to talk to the group. By the administration of President Phillips, attendance at Round Table meetings was compulsory for faculty members. The Round Table appears to have disbanded sometime around or after 1969.
These records include correspondence, programs, treasurer's and secretary's ledger books, and several typewritten addresses given by members. The "Program Materials" folder contains several invitiation cards to meetings, as well as a handwritten account of an undated meeting.
