Cosmopolitan Club (Harvard University)

Cosmopolitan Clubs, also known as International Clubs, were among the earliest formal organizations dedicated to serving the needs of foreign students on college campuses in the United States. The first Cosmopolitan Club was founded in 1903 at the University of Wisconsin and a national organization, the Association of Cosmopolitan Clubs of America, was formed in 1907. The club spread quickly with chapters at Cornell University, the University of Michigan, the University of Illinois, Ohio State University, Purdue University, and other schools. The Cosmopolitan Clubs were one of the first United States student organizations affiliated with an international group, the International Federation of Students (also known as Corda Fratres)...
