The University Club was founded in September 1933 as a student organization consisting of members of the senior class. The purposes of the club were:

• 1. to promote and retain a high enthusiasm and a high spirit of sportsmanship in all university events and contests;
• 2. to entertain all visiting inter-collegiate and high school and preparatory school teams;
• 3. to promote activities and sponsor programs to interest prospective students in the university;
• 4. to be active in campus affairs and present itself for service wherever such service would be in the interest of the student body or the university;
• 5. to cooperate with all campus organizations for the promotion of the welfare of the university;
• 6. to improve inter-school relations;
• 7. to continue and improve active mutual relations with the alumni;
• 8. to promote freshmen orientation; and
• 9. to foster statewide interest in the University and its activities.

During the 1950s, the club assumed responsibility for the annual Campus Carnival and Homecoming celebrations.
