Constitutions, Lists of Members, Minutes, and Reports (1893-1935) comprise most of the collection. For most years, members of the YWCA compiled a Statistical Record consisting of membership lists, minutes, and reports. Other records were kept in notebooks or issued as printed publications. Constitutions outline the purpose and structure of the organization and the responsibilities of its officers. Lists of faculty members from 1893-1909 and student members from 1893 through those in the Class of 1912 are recorded in a notebook. Subsequent records list the names of YWCA officers. Minutes record the discussions and decisions of the organizations' Executive Committee, Cabinet, Advisory Committee, and other units. Reports describe the annual activities of the members both on and off campus. President's Reports are on file for 1897/1898, 1900/1901-19256/1926, and 1929/1930-1933/1934. These reports sometimes include those of the General Secretary and Treasurer. There are also lists of topics discussed at religious meetings. A Report on the Reorganization of the Religious Life at Mount Holyoke College, 1934-35 by Mary Calwell, General Secretary of the YWCA from 1933-1935, includes information about the religious needs of students as determined through a questionnaire.
