Abstract | The Alembic Club was the successor to the Science Club and the Journal Club. The Journal Club was founded on 25 January 1901 by faculty and students of the University of North Carolina Department of Chemistry. Meeting twice monthly from 1901 through 1921, the Journal Club discussed research articles published in scholarly journals. Presentations of members' research work was also encouraged. In 1924, the club was reorganized to include members from all physical science departments on the campus. This new organization was first named the Science Club, then the Alembic Club. Records of the Alembic Club include membership lists and meeting minutes of the Journal Club, 1901-1921, and meeting announcements and correspondence, 1924-1928, of the Science Club and the Alembic Club. Also included is the constitution of the Science Club. |
