 History
The Williams Outing Club grew out of the Trails and Byways committee, established in 1904 as part of the Williams Good Government Club to increase students' enthusiasm for hiking in the nearby mountains (Wood).
The club's trail work continued during this period as well, and in 1924-5 WOC was made responsible for the clearing of a section of the new Appalachian Trail - from the Dome in the north, through the Greylock range, to Lanesboro in the south.
The club was reorganized again in the spring of 1932 and recombined with the winter sports team, which became a department of the Outing Club.
