Reference excerpt

The Woman's Club of Olympia was founded in Olympia, Washington, United States, in 1883. It is one of the oldest woman's club on the West Coast. Founding members included Mehitable Elder, Pamela Case Hale, Mary Hartsock, Janet Moore, Phebe Moore, Mary Shelton, Ella Stork, Abbie Howard Hunt Stuart, and Sarah E. Whitney. Its first president, Mrs. A.H.H. (Abbie Howard Hunt) Stewart, a college graduate and a veteran of the Women's Club in Boston, was a "driving force" in the club's organization and was known as the "Mother of Women's Clubs" for having founded other clubs, too. Of note was the club's early operation of Olympia's only library facility from 1896–1909 and subsequent assistance obtaining a Carnegie Library grant for a public library. A grant of $25,000 was obtained in 1903, which like other Carnegie grants included requirements for the local community to meet, and led to the building in 1914 of the Olympia Public Library. The library had 900 books when it was turned over to the city to operate in 1909. As of 2018 the club is still active. It is a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs.

Building The Woman's Club of Olympia was built in 1908. It replaced the original clubhouse purchased in 1900 that was destroyed by fire in 1907. Members raised $2,500 for the new clubhouse. The current building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as Woman's Club. It is a three-story hipped roof building, 53 by 55 feet (16 m × 17 m) in plan. It is also known as the Abigail Stuart House.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Woman's Club of Olympia

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Woman's Club of Olympia claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Woman's Club of Olympia before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Woman's Club of Olympia ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Woman's Club of Olympia

In research: Woman's Club of Olympia appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Woman's Club of Olympia in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Woman's Club of Olympia is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1883 establishments in Washington Territory, 1908 establishments in Washington (state), Buildings and structures completed in 1908, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Woman's Club of Olympia outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
