University of Maryland College Republican Club
1948-1976 (1 lin. ft.)
The University of Maryland College Republican Club, originally known as
the Young Republican Club, was founded in 1948 to assist in the presidential
campaign of Thomas E. Dewey. The group solidified its organization through
participation in the 1956 Presidential election and has in subsequent years
been particularly active during major political campaigns. Until 1971 the
Club's focus was off-campus, but with the passage of the 26th Amendment
to the U. S. Constitution, on-campus recruitment and campaigning became
an important component of the group's activities. The records of the club
include correspondence, constitutions, and news clippings and document its
interaction with national committees and inter-club dissension.
