Historical Note

The Frame on the Wall Club was a film society at Augustana College, presumably founded in 1975, that screened both domestic and foreign films as campus events. The group's film festivals tended to feature classic motion pictures starring early Hollywood actors like Humphrey Bogar and Charlie Chaplin. The Frame on the Wall Club disbanded in 1985 due to lack of funds and decreasing ticket sales.
