Historical Note
The Faculty Association (known until 1967 as the Association for University Teas) was founded by a group of Columbia wives in 1902 to further the social life of Columbia families. It was a membership organization with dues and elected officials under its constitution. (The constitution was written with the aid of Professor Reed Powell of the Law School, who patterned it after the British Constitution.) The Association was responsible for a Newcomers Party in the fall, a President's Party in December, and the receptions after the University Lectures. It hosted activities for children and for retirees, and planned day excursions and picnics. In 1982, the organization shifted to become a campus-wide volunteer service organization and was renamed the Columbia University Association (CUA).
