    Biographical / Historical Note

    The Agricultural Circle was a social group established in 1916 for the spouses of men working in the College of Agriculture at Ohio State University. The organization eventually opened membership to include widows and spouses of retired or active faculty and staff of Ohio State University. After 83 years of service, the Agricultural Circle disbanded in 2000 due to lack of membership and interest.
