History
The Del Rey Club was founded about 1903 as an informal men's living club; it did not achieve the title of 'fraternity' until
incorporation in 1940. The fraternity became inactive in 1966, at which time it established a scholarship fund with its remaining
assets, administered by alumni of the fraternity who have remained active.
Scope and Content
The collection consists primarily of minutes of meetings, guest books, and photographs. The minutes are a combination of volumes
(some ledger size) and regular paper. The guest books for various events might be of interest for the art work contained in
some of them-art work relating to the particular event taking place.
