American College Quill Club. Thorn Rune.

The American College Quill Club was an organization established in American colleges to encourage literary effort and criticism. Membership was gained through the admission of original manuscript only for a tryout process that was based on merit. In order to retain membership while in college, every member had to consistently contribute original work. In order to retain its charter, each college group had to have active members drawn from the faculty as well. The nomenclature and ritual of Quill were based on the idea of emphasizing Anglo-Saxon culture rather than Greek. The American College Quill Club published The Parchment and the American College Quill Club; Thorn Rune published The Wyoming Quill.
