Administrative history
The McGill Dames Society was founded in 1965. It was a university sponsored organization for the wives of graduate students. Its purpose was to provide practical assistance to the wives of new graduate students coming to McGill and settling in Montreal, to promote the social fellowship of its members, broaden their interests, and to help them feel a part of McGill University and Montreal. The organization provided information regarding housing, employment opportunities, transportation, child care services, educational opportunities, cultural and recreational activities. In 1973 the McGill Dames Society became McGill Graduate Student Associates. It consisted, not only of wives of graduate students, but also of female graduate students. The McGill Graduate Student Associates ended its functions in 1975.
