THE BRIC-A-BRAC OF 1935 THE CLUB W. H. HALLER JR. 334. ............... N Standing-Lewis, Dunning, Professor H. H. Hudson. Seated- Haller QPres.j. . . . .President EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE J. L. DUNNING 334, J. W. LEWIS JR. 534 ' PROFESSOR H. H. HUDSON AT THE instigation of several faculty and undergraduate members of the English Department and because of an increasing Campus interest in informal discussions of a literary nature, The Club was organized in the fall of 1933. Seven meetings are held each season, at each of which a prominent writer such as Louis Bromfield, Sidney Howard, Robert Nathan, Eugene O'Neill or V. F. Calverton gives an informal talk on problems of the world of letters, followed by an open forum dis- cussion. The meetings are held in the Senior Room of the Nassau Inn bar. After the first meeting of The Club, at which Louis Bromfield talked informally of the modern novel and his own experience with it, the scope of the organization 331 expanded beyond the ken of the English Department. Seniors majoring in English and faculty members of the Department, as well as the executive oiiicers of such extra-curricular institutions as the Princetonian, the Theatre Intime, Whig-Clio, and the Nassau Lit origin- ally formed the nucleus. The membership is necessarily restricted as nearly as possible to this nucleus. But the first meeting was highly successful and it was found that there is a considerably larger group of Princetonians interested in informal discussions of literature than had been anticipated. An effort has been made to include all those particularly interested-either by direct membership or by a guest system. Mr. Hudson, Chair- man of the English Department, is adviser to the group.
