Miss Elizabeth Nicholson, a charter
member Of this club, is due the honor
of having first suggested the formation
of state organizations of clubs, and in
October, 1889, the Woman's club in
vited all the clubs in Indiana to meet
ing, out of which grew the Indiana
Union of Literary clubs, which held its
first convention at Richmond in June,
1890. This was composed of mixed
clubs as we'll as women's clubs. In
1900 the Indiana State Federation of
Women's clubs was formed, and six
years later the two consolidated into
the present organization. So complete
has been the blending that nobody

old organizations one belonged. Miss
