- Biographical / historical:
-
The Stanford Women's Club was incorporated in 1910 by a group of Stanford alumnae to continue earlier efforts on the part of students and faculty toward establishing a women's building on campus. The partially completed building, known as the Women's Clubhouse, was opened in February 1915. In 1966, the Women's Club deeded the Clubhouse over to the University. Since then, the Women's Club has concentrated on sponsoring a scholarship.
