Clubs and Organizations
In 1953 Gertrude Leonard, for whom Leonard Theatre in Peabody Hall was named, began to compile the Book of Knowledge: Catalogue of What When Where with the hope of organizing Western’s history into an easy-to-use guide for a researcher. On two pages she listed all of the organizations at Western; however, we do not have information about all of them. In addition, we have some materials for which we have no club information; therefore, we do not know if they were Western College clubs.
