Historical Note
The Iduna Society was founded 21 November 1902 and disbanded in the academic year 1925-1926. It was one of five Augustana College societies dedicated to the further exploration of the Swedish language through Swedish literature. Iduna was the only co-ed group of the five and also had the least stringent membership requirements, with all Augustana College students being eligible to join. The group produced a monthly publication called "Iduna" and sought to promote the Swedish language amongst younger students.
