HISTORICAL NOTE
In the 1880s, four women held weekly meetings to provide uninterrupted time to study
subjects of interest to them. Based on a club in Quincy, Illinois, the group was
formally organized and enlarged on March 12, 1890 as the Peripatetics with Mrs. A.E.
Wells as president. Each member was expected to contribute a study paper on an
assigned subject.
