Context

The Ebell was a monthly bulletin that first ran from 1903 to 1927 as a small pamphlet. The format changed to the Ebell Magazine, a larger format with articles and photos, which ran from October 1927 to December 1934. In January 1935, the Ebell returned to the condensed Bulletin format. The Ebell bulletins changed their name to the Ebell: Magazine of the Ebell of Los Angeles starting with the January 2007 issue. In October 2009, the publication shortened its name to Ebell Magazine. The bulletin format remained the same with the same content. The club meeting location, Cumnock Hall, 1500 South Figueroa Street, appears on the cover of issues from 1903 to 1906. The issues from 1907 to 1927 have the address of 1719 So. Figueroa Street. In the October 1921 issue, the Foreword announces an "amplified" bulletin which includes more contributors, with Mrs. John Stearns Thayer serving as the Bulletin Editor.
