Sophomore Year Pt. 05

... my thoughts, Regina continued, "There is more to the Solemn Fellowship than what you have heard. Tonight, you will learn some of our secrets. The Fellowship's membership is drawn from trusted faculty members and students. To be here tonight, you must have been nominated by a faculty member, and three other members had to vouch for your character and your discretion. You have already passed a test that many fail. Congratulations."

"Now, who can tell me about the Faculty Club?" Regina asked the group.

Here is what I knew about the Faculty Club. A family named Lombard made a ton of money at the turn of the 20th century. They built a huge mansion at what was the edge of town. When their sons were almost college aged, they donated land and money to the state to found the first state university. Originally, the campus was half a mile from their home, but over time the school grew to within a couple of blocks of the mansion.

A couple of generations later, the family tree had shrunk to a twig, and the fortune had diminished to almost nothing. The last heir, Gerald, was a professor at the university in the sixties. He couldn't afford the upkeep on the property anymore, so he decided to sell.

Universities around the country were getting money to prepare for all the students returning from the war."

"State was one of the schools that expected a big influx of students. More students meant a bigger faculty. At the time, the town was small and remote, so there was some concern that there wouldn't be enough housing available. Someone proposed building a place to house faculty members on campus. Since the faculty was all-male, they decided to pattern it after a gentlemen's club, with a dining room, parlor and tap room on the ground floor, and private rooms above."

"When the Dean of Faculty saw the plans, he also saw a solution to another problem. As young men went off to war, enrollment dropped. Men also left the factories, so women entered the working ranks. Before the war, women had gone to a nearby state women's college that was little more than a lady's finishing school. Women went there to become teachers or as a way to meet eligible men that they could marry."
