Historical Note
Bates College faculty and staff have organized a diverse set of
clubs and groups over the institution's existence. Most of the
groups were formed as discussion and social clubs, a chance for
people to form tighter bonds with their peer groups. The Bates
Round Table, a discussion group of faculty and staff, and the Bates
Needle Club, for female faculty, staff, and spouses, were two such
long-standing clubs. This collection also contains the records of
the Bates chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, a faculty-administered
organization.

Round Table, 1896-1969

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. |

Needle Club, 1946-1973

Scope and Content Note |
|
The Bates Needle Club was a social organization
comprised of faculty wives and female faculty members. The earliest
mention of the club is in an edition of the Bates Student from
1910, but there are no actual club records until 1946. The club
appears to have disbanded sometime after 1972, although there is an
item in the "Programs, 1963-1973" folder for a proposed meeting of
a "Bates Women's Club" for September 1973. |

CA1201/04: Phi

3 manuscript boxes |
|
Scope and Content Note |
|
The Bates College chapter (Gamma of Maine) of Phi
Beta Kappa was established in 1916. (Although the folder
"Secretary's correspondence" contains an 1879 letter from national
secretary John K. Lord granting Bates the 'beta' chapter of Maine,
pending approval of the chapter at Bowdoin College, there is no
further mention of why Bates was not actually granted a chapter
until 1916.) |
|
This series contains correspondence, annual
reports, membership details, publications, and other information
about the Bates chapted of PBK. Of note, the secretary's book
contains a historical retrospective leading up to creation of group
on its first few pages. |
|
There is also some correspondence relating to the
creation of the chapter in CA 02.04, President George C. Chase
records. |
