 | | The Athenaeum Club, named after the Greek Goddess Athena, goddess of wisdom, art, industries and warfare, was founded in 1905 by President Andrew Sledd and several faculty members to provide a forum where faculty could exchange ideas and opinions concerning contemporary issues. |
 | | Sledd served as first president, Edward R. Flint, professor of chemistry, as vice-president, and Charles L. Crow, professor of romance languages, as secretary. |
 | | Club by-laws stipulate that each member must submit a paper and lead a discussion period with the intent to deposit all essays in the library or submit them for publication. |
