HE Home Economics Club of the University of Nebraska was organized in 1916. All women who are taking a major or minor in Home Economics, and the faculty of the Home Economics department are eligible for membership and may become members of the organization upon payment of dues.

     The purpose of the club is to develop greater interest in Home Economics on the campus and among its members, to promote acquaintances, to advertise the College of Agriculture, to support all student activities that make for a greater University, and to develop the social side of college life among the members.

      The social activities of the club are many. They include picnics, parties, teas and the sponsoring of Agricultural College "mixers" which prove so popular to students in all parts of the University.

      Officers of the organization are elected before the close of the academic year for the succeeding year. The president, vice-president, and treasurer are chosen from the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes respectively. At the opening of the new academic year a secretary is elected from among the incoming freshmen. The drive for membership is made immediately so that the girls are given a chance to become acquainted as soon as possible.

     The Home Economics Club is interested in many campus activities. The dues to the club are collected in combination with the subscription payment to the College of Agriculture student magazine, the Cornhusker Countryman. Farmers' Fair, the chief activity of students of the College of Agriculture, is an annual affair for the management of which the Home Economics Club and the Ag Club, men's organization, are jointly responsible.

     The club decided several years ago to create a loan fund for women. The fund had a small beginning, but is added to each year, and a permanent loan fund is the goal of the organization.

      For several years the club has belonged to the National Home Economics Association. A national meeting is held annually to which a local delegate is sent.

      In the future the Home Economics Club will see greater and greater development. Membership is increasing each year and the club is finding more and more activities in which to participate and further aid the Agricultural College.
