The Classical Club met every other week to read and discuss prepared essays on classical subjects. Most club members were students in the Classical and Latin Scientific programs. Photo 1912.

The Socialist Study Club started at Pitt in 1914 as a chapter of the National Intercollegiate Socialist Society. They promoted student interest in socialism. Mrs. Florence Kelley (center) was vice president, an unusual office for a woman to hold. Well known figures such as Charlotte Perkins Gillman, Jack London, Upton Sinclair, and Clarence Darrow were associated with the national society. Photo 1912.
