McCroskey Hall was built in 1920 and named after long-time Regent R. C. McCroskey. It has consistently been used as a women's dormitory except during World War II and the early 1950's when it was used for male housing. The house government consists of elected officers who form an executive council.
Kroskey Club was formed in 1931 as an organization of selected upperclassmen to support the council and plan special activities. It was disbanded in 1937.
The records consist of meeting minutes, hall handbooks, guest book, dance programs, scrapbooks, logs of activities and a social events record. The logs contain summaries of events and activities along with newspaper clippings, pictures, dance programs and favors. The social events record has details of each event, such as the menu and names of committee members, kept for the Student Activities Committee.
Arranged in a single series, grouped functionally and then chronologically.
This collection is open and available for research use.
