{{orphan|date=June 2012}}The Lumsden Club is an all female club at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. The club is a registered charity that aims to support women and children's charities and the arts, both locally and abroad.[1] The club is named in honour of Louisa Lumsden, the first female warden at the university.

Membership

The club consists of approximately 40 members, with a maximum of 10 students from each year group. Though members of the club were traditionally from Britain's elite social class, the club now has a diverse and international membership. The club was founded by Libby Hart and Emmeline Kuhn in 2001. The club's alumni include a number of well known personalities, including The Duchess of Cambridge.[2][3][4]

Membership of the club is publicly reported; however the club's meetings and activities are confidential.

Potential members of the club are recruited during their first year of university. Prospective candidates are subject to two rounds of interviews to ascertain their suitability for membership. Interviewees are informed of the outcome of their application by way of a letter, traditionally placed under the candidate's door.[1]

Emblem

The Lumsden Club's logo is a white 'L' surrounded by a red circle.

Events

The club hosts a number of charity fundraising events throughout the academic year. The most high profile of these events is the annual 'Secret Garden Party' charity ball and the 'Winning Women Conference' taking place in February.
