Biographical / Historical

The Independent Men's Association provided social activities, such as Sadie Hawkins' Day, for non-Greek students. Utilizing a Polaroid camera, they set up a picture-taking booth for the Campus Chest carnival. At bi-weekly meetings, the emphasis was academic and cultural: members presented programs on such topics as music, foreign relations, the theory ot relativity, wrestling holds, and creative writing.Founded in 1946, the local group is affiliated with the Nationtal Independent Student's Association. At one time, Wesleyan's ISA sought to provide activities for the entire student body, but poor response by unaffiliated and Greek students caused a change in policy for the 1959-60 school year. Now they concentrate on activities for their own group, although non-members are welcome to attend. -1960 Wesleyana
