Boulder, Colorado, has 268 adult social organizations, which is a relatively large number when compared with other places. Yet 29 per cent of adults do not belong to any social group, while the remaining 71 per cen have joined from one to sexteen social groups. Notwithstanding the number of societies, attendance is good. In the total membership, women exceed men in the ratio of 3 to 2, and they attend more frequently than men, which implies that there is no overorganization. Judging from both membership and attendance, popular interest centers on religious and educational societies, followed closely by social and recreational. The luncheon clubs have the highest attendance record. There appears to be a shift of interest from fraternal organizations to other groups and other activities. That such a large percentage of the population probably lacks adequate social life presents a major social problem
