Imagine a world where every computer filled an entire room, where a single calculation required an orchestra of vacuum tubes and wires. Then—almost overnight—that world vanished. From the dusty labs of Texas Instruments and Fairchild in the 1950s came something smaller than a fingernail that would change everything: the integrated circuit.

HISTORY - The Round Table is Eugene's oldest civic club with a unique tradition of members giving talks about topics on a wide range of interest.

The Club was founded on November 20, 1912 for "the social and intellectual enjoyment of its members." Implicitly, the Club was also intended to serve as a town-gown organization, providing a forum in which citizens and members of the University of Oregon could share friendship and the opportunity for intellectual growth.
