Interstate Conference

The Interstate Conference was a junior college athletic conference with member schools located in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. It was formed on March 14, 1938 at a meeting held in Chillicothe, Missouri, by officials from five charter members: Chillicothe Business College of Chillicothe, Missouri, Graceland College (now known as Graceland University) of Lamoni, Iowa, Kemper Military School of Boonville, Missouri, Moberly Junior College (now known as Moberly Area Community College) of Moberly, Missouri, and Wentworth Military Academy of Lexington, Missouri.[1] In 1939, Kansas City Kansas Junior College—now known as Kansas City Kansas Community College—joined as the conference's sixth member.[2] Moberly withdrew from the conference in the 1940s. Burlington Junior College—now known as Southeastern Community College—of Burlington, Iowa joined the Interstate Conference in 1951.[3]
