1924-40 : Daughters and Sons Unite

In response to male student interest, the Daughters of Reformation changed the name of the organization to the Lutheran Club in 1924 and invted men to join. By 1926, Miss Adelaide MIller and Miss Agnes Larson encouraged the members of the Lutheran Club to keep in touch with their own particular churches in Mankato.

The years 1927-30 brought the Lutheran Club new connections and oportunities to send students as representatives to Regional and International Lutheran Conferences. The three Lutheran churches in Mankato were challenged to send pastors and members to club meetings. Local pastors and prominet local citizens from the Mankato community spoke to the Lutheran Club members during special programs. In the 1930's, the Lutheran Club existed to:

• Develop leaders and workers for the school, community, and church
• Promote general fellowhsip and mutual welfare among Lutheran students
• Develop Christian relationships in the changing social order

Fellowship, picnics, delegates and conferences brought the Lutheran Club a sense of maturity within the campus ministry at Mankato State Teachers' College.
