The proper (official) titles of social, religious, educational, political, commercial, and industrial organizations and institutions: Union League Club, Knights Templar; Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, Associated Charities; Smithsonian Institution, State University of Iowa, Hyde Park High School; the Commercial Academy (Handelsakademie) of Leipzig, the Paris Lyceum (Lycée de Paris); [the Forty Immortals]; Cook County Democracy, Tammany Hall; Associated Press, Typographical Union No. 16; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, The Macmillan Company. But do not capitalize such generic terms when used to designate a class; nor when standing alone, even if applied to a specific institution, except to avoid ambiguity or, rarely, where the word is consistently and clearly used in place of the true name: young people's societies, the high school at Lemont, local typographical unions; the club, the association, the company; but: "He joined the Hall [Tammany]," "a member of the [French] Academy." (See 49.)
