- Description:
- From an undated essay found in the collection: "The Unity Club was founded October 15, 1895, by Mrs. N. B. Jones, Mrs. C. D. Dodge, and Mrs. Lillian Rork, with a membership of twelve. The first five meetings were held at the homes of the members. Dec. 19th '95 the club met at the Pilgrim Chapel on Larch Street. The membership had increased to thirty-four. The club motto is 'Be a candle in the window if you cannot be a star in the sky.'" The ame was changed in 1942 to "Unity Literary Club." And "It was first a library club. Gradually it took on civic work and charity work until at the present time it has delegates to the Club House Association Board, delegates to Ingham County Home Association, and a Visiting Nurses Association committee. The membership is now limited to seventy-five." The club was broken up into four divisions and meeting organization rotated among them. Each meeting usually involved presentation of an essay or two, a book review, news and current events, and a discussion. Topics ranged from global politics to housekeeping and family life. This collection consists of a mostly disassembled Memory Book that was likely kept by founder Mrs. Charles D. Dodge (Arta Ruhammah Jane Snyder Dodge, July 24, 1852 - January 29, 1946). The material dates from the club's beginning into the mid 1940s. Included are the club's annual handbooks, correspondence, newspaper clippings, programs and ephemera from club events, some handwritten and typed essays, photographs, and a file of correspondence from a French girl, Alice Labat, to an unnamed "Benefactress" during 1918-1920.
