The Affiliates of UCLA is an university service group composed of prominent women from the Los Angeles community. The organization was formed in 1937 by Mrs. Edward A. Dickson and Countess Frederic Thorne-Rider when the Gold Shield alumnas association abandoned its support of a faculty lecture series for townswomen. Besides continuing this lecture series, the Affiliates has also organized tours of the campus and, in 1958, established a student scholarship endowment fund.
