The addition to the Northwestern University Settlement Records, Clubs and Classes Attendance and Registration Cards fills
one archival box and spans the years 1895 to 1905 and 1951 to 1953. The records from 1895 to 1905 are in a record book
titled “Attendance,” and include name and date of class as well as number of attendees. The records from 1951 to 1953 are
arranged alphabetically by club or class card and chronologically by date within each folder. Information on cards typically
includes the department, class name, leader name, day and time of meeting, name, address and telephone number of
attendees, and the dates of attendance.
Arrangement of Materials
The Clubs and Classes Attendance Cards are arranged by year within each year the cards are divided by department
within each department the clubs are arranged alphabetically by name. Undated cards are filed separately but are labeled
with an approximate date based on their original placement. The Registration Cards are arranged chronologically by year.
Within each year the cards are grouped either by department, by club or class, or in a few instances, by streets. Some of
the cards are arranged alphabetically by family name. The Registration Cards in Box 18 are not arranged in any systematic
order.
