The Study Club of the Presbyterian Church

In the Clubs and Organizations Collections of the Sandusky Library Archives Research are two early nineteenth century club calendars from The Study Club of the Presbyterian Church. The Study Club of the Presbyterian Church of Sandusky, Ohio was organized in 1896. The theme for the club in 1901-1902 was “Travels in Italy and Greece.” 

The ladies met on Monday evenings from October through April. They discussed the culture and history of Italy and Greece, with three or four presentations at each meeting. On March 10, 1902, Bell West discussed Athens: Its Topography; Maria Warren discussed the Present Reigning Family of Greece; Harriet C. West gave a talk on the Orthodox Greek Church, and The University of Athens was presented by Alida Ayres. In 1902-1903 the Study Club focused on the Victorian Era. Members studied Victorian authors, leaders, artists, and social reformers.
