Women’s College Club Marks 100th Anniversary

The Women’s College Club of Princeton will celebrate its 100th anniversary at a high tea at the Chauncey Center on Sunday, April 10.

Nancy Weiss Malkiel, former history professor and former dean at Princeton University, will speak about young women and the decisions for co-education at elite colleges and universities in the United States. Treby Williams, executive vice president of the University, will also be present.

Since 1928 the Club has awarded more than $600,000 in scholarship aid to young women from Princeton High School, Princeton Day School, the Hun School, and Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. Initially the Women’s College Club awarded interest-free loans from 1916 until 1928, when the first scholarship of $250 was awarded.
