In 1907, a group of nine women in Atlanta formed The Wednesday Morning Study Club as “The History Class”. The Wednesday Morning History Circle, 1907-1913, became known as the Wednesday Morning Study Circle in 1913 and in 1919, the name of the organization finally changed to The Wednesday Morning Study Club. The club, according to its constitution, was organized for the purpose of “mutual improvement” of its members and consisted of a group of approximately twenty-five women who initially met weekly to discuss a variety of topics selected by the programs committee. The meetings also included a discussion of current events and fiction. Eventually the meeting schedule changed to bi-weekly and finally monthly. The organization constitution and by-laws mandated the selection of five officers: president, vice-president, secretary, corresponding secretary, and treasurer. In addition, the officers plus two other members will form an executive committee for the organization. Each member paid an annual membership fee and a designated monthly amount towards the luncheon. A portion of the annual membership was reserved to cover incidental expenses and contributions to other civic organizations and schools. Three committees seem to exist within the organization: executive committee, nominating committee, and program committee. The constitution and by-laws only provides for the creation of the executive committee.
