Pembroke College Athletic and Recreation Association records (OF.1Q.A1zp)

The Pembroke College Athletic and Recreation Association (ARA) records document the activities of the Association, its relationship with the physical education department, intramural sports at Pembroke College, and some of the athletic interaction between Pembroke College and other women's colleges in New England. The records have been organized into three series:

Series I. Executive Board contains the bulk of the collection. This series includes the Association's constitution and by-laws, minutes, records from secretary's notebooks, committee reports, annual and semester reports, lists, notes, correspondence, programs and budgets. The secretarys' notebooks are comprised primarily of minutes. In the 1960s the association kept minutes, reports, budgets, and programs in an 'ARA Bible," which provides a complete picture of the organization's activities.

Series II. Committees includes records from the Intramurals Committee. For other committee reports, see Series I, especially the "ARA Bible".

Series III. Events and activities includes programs, invitations, and lists of events and activities. Some of these activities include an annual banquet and freshman field day, a bike loan program,and events featuring off-campus guests.
