Abstract:
|
|
This collection includes the records of the
Thursday Evening Club, a men's club founded in Boston in 1846 to promote
"social and scientific conversation." First called the "Warren Club" after one
of its founders, John C. Warren, the club held bi-weekly Thursday meetings at
the home of one of its members to listen to talks on a variety of subjects, at
first scientific but later expanded to include literature, history, and other
subjects. The records include loose and bound membership lists; announcements,
lists, and summaries of meetings; correspondence; presidents' reports;
manuscripts of original papers; historical reminiscences; and memorials
delivered by members, including Moorfield Storey, James F. Rhodes, and
Worthington C. Ford.
