CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW 25 YEAR CLUB MEMBERS OF 2016
To be honored on March 6, 2017
The 25 Year Club of Iowa State University was informally founded in 1915 when members of the staff
who had served at least 25 years were honored at convocation. The organization was formalized in 1934 under
the direction of the late Harold E. Pride, former Secretary of the Iowa State College Alumni Association. The
Club charter was signed on June 9, 1934 by 43 members of the ISU staff. The purpose of the 25 Year Club is to
honor the loyal service of Iowa State faculty and staff.
As Colonel Pride wrote to the charter members, "Staff members who have served the College as long as
you have come to personify the College to her Alumni. Buildings and land do not make a college; it is the men
and women of the staff who make any college...."
