Historical Note
The earliest student organizations at Bates were the Polymnia
and Eurosophia literary societies, formed shortly after the
founding of the school. Founded "for improvement in writing and
speaking," these two groups were joined by a third similar society,
Piaeria, before the end of the century. Gradually these societies
became more like social clubs, featuring music and other
entertainments. By the early 20th century, interest in these clubs
was waning, resulting in their disbanding in 1914.
A variety of other clubs had risen to take their place, however.
Clubs were formed around a number of student interests, such as
music, languages, sports, and numerous honorary academic societies.
By the 1930s there existed over two dozen clubs, societies, groups,
and other organizations, including some that continue to this day:
Outing Club, Quimby Debate Council, Robinson Players, and the
Lawrance Chemical Society.
Clubs and organizations continue to play an important role in
the life of Bates students, as evidenced by the more than 50 such
groups in existence today.

Scope and Content
Note
Contains records pertaining to the activities of various student
organizations at Bates College. The collections within this
sub-group are limited in size, and are shown in the finding aid
below. Larger collections have been given their own sub-group each,
to aid in arrangement. Those organizations include the Outing Club,
the Debate Council, and the Modern Dance Company. Likewise, student
publications are described in a separate sub-group (CA 12.03), with
a link provided in the Related Material section below.

Organization and
Arrangement
The files are arranged into series alphabetically by
organization name, excepting the "single-folder organizations"
records at the beginning of the collection. These "single-folder"
boxes contain organizations for which only single or a few items
exist. In all cases, records for individual organizations should
not be considered complete, and there are many organizations for
which no archived records exist.

Scope and Content Note |
|
The Bates Athletic Association was established in
June, 1880, to control the activities of the various Bates College
athletic teams. The precursor to the Athletic Association was the
Baseball Association, created in 1874. In 1903 a faculty-led
Advisory Council (later the Advisory Board) was created, after the
student-led Athletic Association had run up debts of $1,600. The
Athletic Association remained active through the 1930s, when it's
authority was gradually transferred to the Athletic Department. The
Women's Athletic Association was created in 1905, and remained
active until around 1969. |
|
The records contain programs, correspondence,
articles, ledgers, clippings, histories, statistics, rosters, and
financial records relating to the activities of the Association and
the Advisory Council, particularly with regard to various
individual sports. Of note are the records of the Women's Athletic
Association, especially the annual athletic demonstrations
sponsored by the group. |
|
In addition, the "Athletic Exhibition programs"
folders contain programs for a number of Athletic
Association-sponsored events, including Field Day, the Gymnastics
Exhibition, and the Indoor Track Meet. |

Scope and Content Note |
|
This organization was created at Bates circa 1878,
and was known as the Bates College Student Christian Association,
or often just Christian Association. By 1892, there were separate
organizations for men and women, although it is unclear whether
they existed at an earlier date. The two groups existed separately
until 1936, when they were merged, becoming known as just the
Christian Association. At this time the Council on Religion was
also disbanded, having been formed earlier to coordinate the
activities of the two groups. In 1964 the name was changed again,
to the Campus Association. The organization existed under this name
until disbanded in 1993. |
|
It should also be noted that this group maintained
strong ties to the Young Men's (and Young Women's) Christian
Associations, and undertook a variety of outreach and charitable
activities in the surrounding communities as a part of these ties.
Records for the Bates YMCA and YWCA are included in this
series. |

Student Government, 1897-1969
2 manuscript boxes |
|
Scope and Content Note |
|
Contains correspondence, meeting ledgers,
treasurer's books, committee files, programs, and publications. The
"Matriculation Books" folders contain two ledgers signed by
graduating students for the dates given. The "Hi Betty Bates"
folder contains brochures welcoming female students to campus and
outlining activities and offerings open to them. |
|
The first student council at Bates was formed in
1890, created at the behest of the Alumni Association as an
agreement between the faculty and students of the college. The
first student-initiated government was created in 1910, and was
male-only. A women's student government was created around 1912.
These separate organizations merged in 1965 to form the Student
Advisory Board. |
