Stoic Society Quilting Square
Scope and Contents
The Stoic Society records documents the Stoic Society at Eastern Michigan University. The records span from 1909 until 2015 with gaps in the historical records. The collection is comprised of clippings, programs, and constitutions from the Stoic Society at Eastern Michigan University and is arranged in four series: Administrative Files, Events, General Files, Members, and Scholarships with additional files for clippings, awards, scrapbooks and photographs.
The Administrative Files series concerns budget and finance, the constitution, correspondence, and the secretary’s and treasurer’s book. There is one file with newspaper clippings the bulk of this file is from the 1960s. The Events series contains the announcements, flyers, and programs from events that the Stoic Society held such as the Annual Banquet and the May Breakfast. This series also contains information on the 50th Anniversary celebration. The General Files are from 1952 until 1980, these files include correspondence, events, and planning information during these years. Members series includes membership lists as well as alumni information cards. The Stoic Society is well known for the numerous scholarships that the society funded. The Scholarships series includes information on some of these scholarships including the Benjamin D’Ooge and Margaret M. Robinson scholarships.
Given that the Stoic Society is one of the oldest student organizations on campus the records donated to the archives are by no means a complete record of the organization.
