Political Science Department

The program in Practical Political Education was established in september of 1959 with a three year grant from the Maurice and Laura Falk Foundation.  The aim was to sponsor activities, both curricular and extra-curricular, that "focus student attention on, and foster informed opinions about, political issues and candidates" and to prepare students "for constructive participation in the political process."  The program sponsored visiting lecturers, conferences, politicians-in-residence, field trips, and mock conventions and established a "caucus room" (Carnegie, second floor) to stimulate political discussions and provide materials on practical politics. The program was administered by the Political Science Department and had an advisory committee with representatives from each division, from the two major political parties, the Student Government Association (SGA), the campus Young Republicans and Young Democrats. 2 boxes.  Provenance mostly unknown, possibly from advisory committee members; some from Rosenfield Program office files, 1989.

Music Department

The Pi Kappa Lambda National Music Honor Society was founded at Northwestern University in 1918.  In 1929 Grinnell College became the thirteenth college to join the organization and was named the Nu Chapter.  Pi Kappa Lambda represents the field of music as a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (like Phi Beta Kappa).  Activities include an annual initiation service and a Biennial National Convention.  The Nu Chapter at Grinnell College was declared inactive in 1970 due to a lack of interest.
