Record Group: 22 C Record Sub-Group: 20 Records Title: UMC; Student Life and Activities; Memorabilia; Templecrone Cooperative; Administrative Records Dates: 1947-1984 Volume: 1 cubic foot, 1.25 linear feet; 1 MFR The Women of Templecrone Cooperative Gathered for Some Tunes From their Cook, Florence, 1947 (University Archives, C:22/14/2) Scope and Content Note (A88-59) This Sub-Group contains materials relating to life at Templecrone, a cooperative housing and living unit for women, which was located at 1404 University Avenue. Templecrone and other cooperative housing programs provided a money saving alternative to dormitories and Greek housing by allowing members to share daily chores for lower cost room and board. The women of Templecrone, nicknamed "Cronies," did their own house cleaning, table setting, dishwashing, and yard work. They also conducted initiations and held their own social activities. The collection includes the Pro Forma Degree of Incorporation for Templecrone I, rules and regulations for the house, treasurer's financial reports, minute books of house meetings, and financial records. There are plaques won by Templecrone for homecoming decorations, Red Cross blood drives, Campus Chest, and Quiz Bowl. Photographs from scrapbooks show homecoming decorations, house activities, and initiations. Other entries from scrapbooks contain news clippings, wedding invitations, Senior's Wills, and Christmas cards. Note to Researcher: Scrapbooks are in very poor condition researchers are strongly encouraged to view the scrapbooks on microfilm. Series Descriptions: The Sub-Group is not divided into separate record series.
