31.1, I9 6? S CM The P 61 S Club was founded as the YMCA of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in December of 1894. Activities at that time were restricted to dues-paying members only and membership was limit- ed. By 1910 the group had occupied a club- house on West 57th Street and boasted ap- proximately 125 paying members, with resi- dence provisions for 17 provided in the club- house. The organization by that time had adopted the more stylish P 61 S Clubu as its official title. In addition to such early functions as fellowship, bible study, and discussion groups, the club provided a strict- ly mundane grooming service whose pur- pose was to assist new students to find lodg- ings and to rank the neighborhood ac- comodations according to quality. In 1928 the College of Physicians and Surgeons moved uptown and the Board of Advisors took possession of 41100 Haven Avenue for the Club. Lodgings were there- upon provided for some 77 members and an eating club was also on the premises. Participation was still restricted to dues- paying members. In 1931, however, with the opening of ultramodern Bard Hall, the old system was abandoned. Membership in the P 61 S Club was opened to the student body at large, all students became members auto- matically and were entitled to participate in all club privileges and functions. Financial support was provided by the YMCA in ad- dition to contributions by the faculty, alumni, parents, and friends. Special areas on the 11th floor of the new dormitory were al- located for Club offices and a lounge. EDWIN M. BARTON In recent years, particularly under the able guidance of Director Edwin Barton, the scope of club activities has expanded mark- edly. There are more than 21 areas of stu- dent-directed activity sponsored at present. The program is designed to provide relax- ing cultural and social activities as well as to promote development of those qualities of personality and initiative essential to the modern physician. In 1965 the Alumni Association of the College of Physicians and Surgeons gener- ously offered to assume full responsibility for financial support of P 61 S Club activities. This gesture has freed the already overtax- ed Club office of the encumbrance of con- ducting a separate fund drive and has pro- vided the Club with financial security per- mitting new breadth of planning. The P 61 S Arts Festival, new in 1966, is the most recent example of the continuing growth of Club functions. With continued attention to the growing diversity of student- interests, the proposed construction of a new dormitory building adjacent to Bard Hall, and welcome expan- sion of medical school facilities, the P 61 S Club faces new challenges. As we approach graduation, we who have enjoyed its bene- fits can wish the Club continued success in providing for the needs of the Columbia medical student and hope the Club will persist in its unique position in American graduate education.
