A literary and social club founded by seven women in 1904 has made a significant change to its membership rules. The organization, now 122 years old, has removed gender restrictions from its bylaws. This change, made in March 2026, allows eligible faculty and staff, regardless of gender, to join, as well as spouses, retirees, and visiting faculty and their spouses.

The evolution of the organization has been ongoing, with one member having witnessed part of it over four decades of work. Further details about this development are available from the source.
