Mechanical Engineering Wives' Club
Biographical notes:
The Mechanical Engineering Wives of Washington State University were organized to promote friendliness and unity among the wives of mechanical engineering students. In addition to its social function the club attempted to provide scholarships to mechanical engineering students when funds permitted. The membership was comprised of wives of both graduate and undergraduate engineering students. Initially, the organization was not associated with any national or local group. On February 2, 1961, the club became affiliated with the Auxiliary of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, a national organization. During the 1960s the group sponsored various fund raising events, hosted guest speakers, and performed community services. A highlight of the year's events was the Mothers' Weekend Fashion Show.
