Historical note
The Iowa State University 25-Year Club recognizes members of the faculty and staff who have served Iowa State University for at least twenty-five years. The club was informally established in 1915 when General James R. Lincoln, Treasurer Herman Knapp, Professors Edgar W. Stanton, Alfred A. Bennett, and Louis H. Pammel and several others were honored during a special convocation for their many years of service to the university. The organization was formalized in 1934 under the direction of Harold E. Pride, then secretary of the Iowa State College (University) Alumni Association. The charter was signed on June 9, 1934, by 43 staff members. Annual meetings are currently held in the spring during which new initiates are presented certificates of membership. Also, special recognition is given to those members who have reached other milestones in their years of service to Iowa State, such as 35 or 50 years of service. Members who had died during the previous year are recognized during the meetings as well. The Iowa State College Alumni Association was originally the main sponsor of the 25-Year Club and helped to coordinate many of the club's activities. There were several years when the club's annual meetings were held during the Honors and Awards ceremony during Alumni Days. Now, however, Iowa State University's Office of Retirement Information and Planning coordinates the club's events. |
