The collection contains the constitution, minutes, correspondence, work plans, directories, and publications of the Graduate Dames, a chapter of the National Association of University Dames, at North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University). Yearbooks published by the national association are included. These contain annual reports from the Raleigh chapter beginning in 1951. The Graduate Dames club of North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University) provided a social and cultural outlet for women. The society was organized in 1948 by Mrs. R. K. Waugh with the advice of six faculty members' wives. All wives of male graduate students were eligible for membership. The organization was affiliated with the National Association of University Dames. Membership in the Raleigh chapter was eventually extended to female graduate students. The organization was active on the North Carolina State University campus until 1980. Less
