The Parthenon Club of Trinity College was established for women to pursue interests in the language, literature, and art of ancient Greek and Roman cultures. The club was formed in 1916. The first officers were: Kate Goodman Umstead, Mary Knight, Etoile Young, and Evelyn Reade. The group met weekly and presented papers, discussed research, and produced programs for each other.
In 1924, the women of Parthenon Club joined the men of the Classical Club. In 1927, more women interested in classical studies created the Folum Club, and held joint meetings with the Classical Club. The Classical Club continued to be active at Duke University until sometime after 1944.
