Meeting Held at the Harvard Union, Camb. January 16, 1903. About 40 members were present. Speakers. Mr Copley Amory gave an account of Sir Alexander McKensie's two voyages, one to the mouth of the McKensie River and one to the Pacific coast by way of Peace & Frazer Rivers. He quoted largly from the explorer's own book, & dwelt on the great difficulties that were encountered at that period. He gave to McKensie more credit than to Lewis & Clark. Mr. J. Mackintosh Bell gave a brief account of a journey of his under the Canadian Geological Survey to the mouth of the Coppermine River & Coronation Gulf. He described the Hairserin [?] Indians & the Eskimo of that region as being absolutely beyond the traders' country, and still in a very primitive condition. He exhibited several articles of apparel & photographs. Dr. T. W. Thorndike read a paper on the tribe of Indians known as the swampy Crees, living in the territory South and West of Hudson's Bay. He gave an accurate account of their habits, mode of life, and social condition. Prof. Davis explained to the club some of the points decided upon at the last meeting of the executive committee (Jan. 15th). It was decided that each member should be charged an admission fee of $5.

written report, with corrections. On stationery of W.M. Davis. [First appearance of anything typewritten in Club archives.] On December 16, 1903, at the eighth meeting, the Executive Committee presented its first report to the Club, being read by Henry B. Bigelow, the new Secretary. He reviewed the seven meetings "…held last year with an averge attendance of 30-40 persons, the average not including the audience which packed the Fogg Museum Lecture Hall to hear Captain Peary." The membership was noted as numbering 92 and "…the funds now in [the] bank amount to $234.10." It went on to relate that the "Committee has decided to ask for no initiation fee or assessment from out-of-town members for the present." Fellowship in the Club still remained murky ("The plan for designating certain members as Fellows is still under consideration.") A glimpse into the future was given by the statement that a "…series of practical talks is contemplated for the late winter and spring by experts in various lines of interest to members of the Club and their friends." The report was signed by the five members, again reflecting some change: W. M. Davis, A. C. Coolidge, J. C. Phillips, R. B. Dixon, and H. B. Bigelow, Secretary. |

The Club has at present one hundred and twenty-six members, forty-two of whom, having travelled somewhat off the beaten track, are ranked as Fellows. The management of the Club is under the direction of the Fellows, who govern through an executive committee appointed by them. Membership is not limited to Harvard graduates and undergraduates. Application blanks for membership may be obtained from the Secretary. Members residing in the Boston metropolitan district are charged an admission fee of five dollars. There are at present no annual dues. The regular meetings of the Club, to which members may invite their friends, are usually held in the Harvard Union, Cambridge, on the last Friday of the months from October to May (December excepted). A meeting is occasionally held in a large lecture hall, open to the public, followed by a reception for members and their friends at the Union. Three or four Fellows’ meetings are held during the year, for consideration of the business of the Club. A series of "practical talks" on special subjects, related directly or indirectly to travel and exploration, are also given during the year. Executive Committee, PROF. W. M. DAVIS, Chairman.

At a recent meeting of the Fellows, it was proposed to devote a meeting of the Club in the latter part of the winter to an exhibition of objects of interest belonging to members, and in some way associated with their travels. In order to test the practicability of this plan, the Executive Cominittee requests information on the following points : (1) Would you be willing to take part in the proposed exhibition, and to give personal explanation of the things that you exhibit ? (2) What sort of objects would you exhibit ? (Pictures, equipments, hunting trophies, products of distant countries, ethnology, etc., etc. (3) How much space (tables or racks) would you need ? An early answer would be a favor to the Committee. TOWNSEND W. THORNDIKE, M. D., Secretary. Address of Secretary, 22 Newbury Street, Boston. |

"The Council has the pleasure of submitting the following report, as accepted by the Fellows, for the third year of the Club's existence and the first under a formal organization. Membership. The membership is increasing in a gratifying way. A year ago there were 126 members, of whom 42 were Fellows. During the year 45 new members have been elected, and our list now stands as follows:– Resident members, 106 Non-resident members, 25 Resident Fellows, 27 Non-resident Fellows, 14 Total membership, 172 Life members, 5 Honorary members, 1 ... Finances ... From this amount $125, received from life members, must be deducted. This, in accordance with the Constitution, has been invested as a permanent fund, the income only to be used. A trust committee, consisting of Messrs. Holmes, Curtiss, and the Treasurer, has been appointed to take charge of this fund. At a recent meeting of t he Fellows, in whose hands the general conduct of the affairs of the Club is placed, it was voted to establish a Club medal, to be given annually, and next year for the first time, to the North American travellers–preferably a young travellers—who shall be deemed most worthy of this distinction. Details concerning t his medal and its award are now in consideration by the Council, and will be announced next autumn. ...and the members generally were invited to attend the inauguration dinner of hte Explorers Club of New York City."

758-760. (Book1, pp46-47) THE HARVARD TRAVELERS’ CLUB. The Harvard Travelers’ Club can hardly have been founded at any particular moment; it has gradually developed during the past three years, from an informal gathering to talk over possibilities, into an organized association with the formalities, of constitution, officers, list of members, and regularly announced meetings. The membership now amounts to 159. Of this total, 39, whose journeys have led them off the ordinary routes of travel, are designated as Fellows; and in their hands the management of the affairs of the Club is placed. A council of five carries on the ordinary business of the Club under the direction of the Fellows. The Club has held three public lectures in Cambridge ; one in the winter of 1902-03 by Capt. R. N. Peary, on his polar explorations; the second in the autumn of 1903 by Prof. W. M. Davis, on his journey in Turkestan; the third in the winter of 1903-04 by Mr. W. W. Rockhill, on Travels on the Borderland of China and Tibet. Mr. Rockhill, lately appointed U. S. Minister to China, has been elected an honorary member of the Club. There have been ordinary meetings about once a month (except in summer), usually held in the Harvard Union until this year, when through the hospitality of some of the members, the Club has met in private houses in Boston and Cambridge. It has been an agreeable surprise to the council to discover an abundance of interesting material ready for presentation by members or guests, as is indicated by the list of communications for the season just closed, given below; and also to find a ready interest in the aim of the Club, as a result of which the membership has increased most satisfactorily. While most of the members are Harvard graduates, the only explicit requirement is that members shall be men who are interested in the object of the Club, namely, the promotion of intelligent travel and exploration. Curiously enough, the undergraduate membership has grown slowly and the undergraduate members have been among the least regular attendants at the meetings; this has been a disappointment, as it was hoped that the narratives of those who had already traveled would attract the younger members and incite them to follow the example of their elders. The Club has been recognized as having a place among the geographical societies of the country; it was invited by the National Geographic Society to appoint a member to serve on the committee of arrangements for the 8th International Geographical Congress that assembled in Washington last September; and by Section E (Geology and Geography) of the American Association for the Advancement of Science to send a delegate to its meeting in Philadelphia last December. Nevertheless, the Club does not regard itself as devoted to geography any more than to other subjects that may be studied during travel, — language, archaeology, biology, astronomy, or any other matter of outdoor observation. While the meetings are primarily intended to entertain rather than to instruct, the names of the speakers and titles of their talks show clearly enough that much instruction stands behind the entertainment that they have offered. The following addresses have been presented before the Club at the regular meetings of the current year: Prof. Raphael Pumpelly, Archaeological Work in Turkestan; Mr. Langdon Warner, A Trip to Khiva; Mr. A. G. Robinson, Work of a War Correspondent in South Africa and the Far East; Mr. Ellsworth Huntington, A Journey to Eastern Persia ; Mr. V. Stefanson, The Summer of 1904 in Iceland; Mr. L. J. Cole, Notes on Yucatan; Mr. F. E. Matthes, Mapping in the Rocky Mountain Region; Mr. A. H. Clark, A Trip to the Grenadine Islands, West Indies; Mr. G. N. Allen, Newfoundland Whaling Industry; Mr. R. C. Robbins, South India ; Dr. Wm. Lord Smith, Reminiscences of a Hunter in Java, China, and Corea. It is the especial desire of the Club to invite to its meetings any Harvard men who have wandered far and returned with a good story to tell. To these possible members and contributors the Club sends its greetings through the Graduates' Magazine, with the assurance of a welcome whenever they return to Cambridge. Meetings are usually held either in Boston or Cambridge on the last Friday of the month during the Academic year, except that in December a middle Friday and in May the third Friday are taken. At a recent meeting of the Fellows it was decided to offer an annual prize, probably in the form of a medal, to be first awarded a year hence for the best piece of recent exploration by an American; preference to be given to young men who in some distant land make application of the studies pursued during their school or college years. More formal announcement of this project will be made in the autumn. The officers of the Club for the past winter have been: Prof. W. M. Davis, chairman; Messrs. R. B. Dixon, R. Walcott, R. P. Blake, councilors; and Dr. T. W. Thorndike, secretary and treasurer (22 Newbury St., Boston). W. M. Davis, s ‘69. |

Secretary [T.W. Thorndike] submitted a report, in which he recommended on
behalf of the Executive Committee that the Club should be more formally
organized, and proofs of a constitution with by-laws were presented to the
Fellows. ... Moreover, the lack of by-laws was both annoying and embarrassing
to the officers, and reflected unfavorably on the standing of the Club. For
these reasons the Fellows were strongly urged to confirm and accept the
submitted constitution after they had discussed and revised it, which they
did. At the end of over two hours it was moved that the constitution as
corrected by the Fellows should be adopted; this was seconded, and was
carried by unanimous vote.It was deemed expedient that the present government
of the Club be held over until May. The Fellows add an extra article providing for amendments, and this was unanimously carried. The minor points touched upon in the Secretary's report were, First. Place of meetings--In view of the fact that the Harvard Travellers Club could no longer qualify for membership in the Harvard Union under the Union's new regulations, new quarters must be found in which to hold the meetings of the H.T.C. The Executive Committee recommended that we should make use of private houses, the Boston Natural History Society's rooms, and through the courtesy of Dr. Dixon the Club was given opportunity to meet at the Colonial Club. ... "Practical Talks--The Secretary commented on the poor attendance at this series of talks given last year, and felt that there was no excuse for it, in view of the fact that the character of the talks was of a very high quality, and in some cases better than the regular lectures. The cause for so small audiences was attributed to the undesirable hall in which they were held, the time of year, and that they were not suitably advertised. The question whether another series of practical talks should be given this year was left in abeyance. A commission of three to be appointed by the Fellows was suggested in order that a plan for an exhibition of various articles relating to travel, exploration, adventure, etc., could be effected. They were to report upon the feasibility of such. Ladies are to be admitted to this entertainment" ... |

Secretary suggested that certain rules and amendments to the Constitution be
adopted, in order to facilitate his work, by reducing the responsibility of
the Secretary, and affording him power to act authoritatively on certain
questions, as follows: Resident members who expect to be absent for more than one year, may have the annual dues remitted for each year they are absent. They must, however, notify the Secretary by letter before the annual meeting of the current year, otherwise, they will be held liable for the annual dues of the ensuing year. [Would become Rule 2 in 1906 Year Book although somewhat different language.] Resident members, who by change of address, cease to be resident members, must notify the Secretary by letter before the annual meeting; otherwise they will be held liable for the annual dues of the ensuing year. [Would become Rule 1 in 1906 Year Book although somewhat different language.] The above were discussed and finally adopted as Standing Rules. Art. V, Clause 7. "At the end of this period, a second notice shall be sent, and if this second notice is not acknowledged within ten days, the candidate shall then forfeit membership, unless reinstated by the Council at its next meeting." [This appears in the 1906 Year Book] Art. IV. Clause 4. To read "At least eleven Fellows must be present, and four--fifths of those present must vote in the affirmitive in order to elect to Fellowship." [This appears in the 1906 Year Book] These amendments were moved and seconed, and notice of these proposed changes in the Constitution is to be issued with the notice of the next Fellows meeting, in accordance with the Constitution." ...

If we consult primarily and solely the interest of the Club, we desire to nominate for reelection Professor Davis. To his initiative, his fertility in wise and practical suggestions, and his alert and ready service, we owe, in large measure, the present status of a Club which quite surpasses our expectations as a menas of instruction and social intercourse, at once broadening and delightful. ... Now, with the Club so well a-going, and with a Secretary of such unfailing zeal and kindness and readiness to do as we now have, it is fairly to be expected that the duties of a chief presiding officer will be relatively light...

This decision was handed down by Mr. Walcott in whose hands the question was placed for consideration. He found that a fraction of a man vote canonly be represented by a man." [Perin is listed as a member.] "It was therefore moved that the annual dues should be increased from $2.00 to $3.00, and life membership to $50. This was seconded and so voted." "President Davis brought up the question of whether it would be desirable henceforth to have the proposer of the new member introduce his candidate by having him stand up at the next meeting on the Club. Dr. Thorndike moved that new members hereafter be thus introduced. This was seconded by Dr. Smith, and was so voted." The medal and the conditions under which it is to be awarded was carefully considered in a general discussion that was most gratifying. It was moved by Vice-President Walcott that the award of the medal be placed under the control of a committee of three, including the President ex officio to consider candidates for the mdeal, their decisions to be reported to the Fellows, who are to award the medal. This was seconded, and was voted. |

"at Cambridge." Present: Prof. Davis, Mr. Blake, Dr. Thorndike. ... In view of the fact that the Travellers Club is probably no longer eligible for membership in the Harvard Union, a change of meeting place was considered. It was therefore decided to arrange to hold the meetings in the Colonial Club, Natural History Building in Boston, and at the various private houses of members. The question of a constitution and by-laws to be present at the next Fellow's meeting. The committee thought that more of an organization than existed at present in the Club was necessary for its future welfare and stability. The question of annual dues was also discussed, and Mr. Blake favored an annual assessment for resident members of t hree dollars ($3.00). This matter was also referred to the next Fellows meeting. .... [Signed] Townsend W. Thorndike MD Secy. [first minutes taken by TWT] |

medal that the Harvard Travellers Club intends to award this year was
established by the Club last spring. It is to be given annually, and this
winter for the first time, to some North American, i.e. American or Canadian.
Preferably to a young traveller who shall be deemed most worthy of this
distinction. The award will be made by the Council of the Club sometime this
autumn. As yet, the design for the medal has not been decided upon but the
medal will probably be a gold one. The Council feel[s] that the piece of
exploration or travelling that the candidate does should show evidence of
intelligent observation and ability to describe what he sees rather than
profoundly scientific record. In other words, the medal is for the purpose of
advancing the object of the Club itself, namely, "The promotion of
intelligent travel and exploration." Of course the more scientific the
work is, the better. A commonplace narrative however could hardly be
considered. We find that many of the younger men during the summer vacation go off the beaten tracks of travel and record little or nothing of places where there might be a great deal of original investigation, research, etc., made so it occurred ti us to stimulate in their minds, thought, interest and ambition to bring back some record." |

TWT's trip in Canada. Interesting. "In response to your request of November 18th, I herein outline a brief itinerary of my journey this summer: I started north, striking the Mackenzie sustem at Athabasca Rover. I followed this stream north until I reached its confluence with the Clearwater. From this point I turned eastward, following up the Clearwater almost to its source, at which point I made a portage of twelve miles over the divide into the head waters of the Churchill River system. I followed thisstream until I reached Lake La Crosse. About this time I met with an accident, and so I was forced after some delay, to direct my course towards the nearest civilization, which was about four hundred miles or so south, following Green River for one hundred miles adn then overland the rest of the way to Prince Albert on the Saskatchewan. The trip was a hard one through a very interesting country, and especially was it full of ethnological interest. My route passed through the most isolated region perhaps west of Hudson's Bay, and through the heart of the Chipeweyan region. At Lake La Crosse, I came upon the land of the Wood Crees, and was very glad to be rid of such uncomfortable people as the Chipeweyans. My trip was practically over the same route that Mackenzie, Franklin, Dr. Richardson, Simpson and Dease, and othre Arctic explorers selected on their expeditions to the North, and in many places, I found traces of them still remaining. The region now is never travelled by others than itinerant Indians, and rarely, a Hudson's Bay Company trader. I was told that I was the only white man that has been through the region for the past twelve years." |

In fact, the feeling was for a work of fine arts rather than an ordinary affair. It was also decided that the material should be gold, the size about that of a half dollar, and the artist to be the best that the Club could afford. ... February 1906. Mr. Walcott and Mr. Holmes suggest that each member of the Club be asked to send suggestions and designs relative to the seal and medal, Dr. Thorndike concurring with them.

It met with approval in general, although Mr. Holmes did not thoroughly approve either of the symbol or the motto. He thought that the former was too ecclesiastical. In this, however, he was not sustained by the other two committeemen. These thought the the Pilgrim staff and wallet not only denoted travelling, but that its conotation included simplicity, strength and determination, thses qualities we read of as being possessed by the Plymouth Colonies; Massachusetts, especially eastern Massachusetts, this section of the state being the residence of the H. T. C.; Harvard, the history of which is so closely identified with the early austere Puritans, and that the staff and wallet are almost the first articles that a man who starts out on a long journey on foot provides himself. It was decided that this design be submitted to the Council only as a tentative one, and if subsequently necessary it would be changed.

This design is not to be understood as being fully completed, as there are other details under consideration, and the symbology of the staff and wallet is to be further looked up. The medal is to be round, about the size of a half dollar, and to be struck in gold." |

put in a couple of hours with the books of ancient discoveries in the college
library last week with this result. In John Ashton's [sp?] edition of Sir John Mandeville's Travels. Pickering and Chatto. 66 Haymarket. London 1887 printed for the Roxburghe club has some nearly contemporary prints from the British Museum of which Plate III represents a group of pilgrims starting out on their travels, Mandeville himself being shown as a knight.The staff is head-high and the hat [sketch] like the designs Kittredge referred us to. Plate VIII represented Seth [sp?] as a pilgrim with an excellent shoe [sketch] and [sketch] water ? Bottle. Archibald Constable's edition 1895 has at p. 218 a fancy sketch of Mandeville in Pilgrim's garb, very likely suggested by the above. The original edition of Coryat's Crudities, London 1611, has a remarkable copperplate frontispiece, Wm. Hall sculpcit. with a numbr of figures ludicrously descriptive of the contents, but I find nothing that we can use unless possibly the Homeric motto: [in greek] Hakluyt is barren of suggestions. On the whole my best find was Las Casas Frankfurt 1571 which has a frontispiece that I think would be most effective and appropriate for a medal-die. I wish you would look at it. I suppose the Public Library is likely to have it among the early Spanish voyages: A female figure rolling toward the reader on a ball with arms outstretched partly draped in a cloak flying in the winds, blowing a horn, while behind her she is leaving civilized country, meadows and cities. Sincerely Yours Robert Walcott I enclose Mr. Kittredge's letter which has been wearing out in my pocketbook. I've written Prof. Wright on the propriety of the various Latin inscriptions." |

You will find a first-class represention of both in Strutt's Regal & Eccleastical Antiquities, pl. XLV. The kneeling figure is as good a pilgrim as you can find anywhere. The scallop-shell on his wallet indicates that he has visited the shrine of St. James at Compostella. The strips on his staff are mere ornaments and may be discarded. The hat on his head is characteristic. Some armorial designer ought to be able to make a good thing out of this staff & script, utilizing perhaps the hat also.Then a fine motto would be PEREGRINANTUR, "they wander in foreign lands," which would also suggest the pilgrim, i.e. Peregrinus (you remember pilgrim comes ultimately from peregrinus). The form peregrinantur might also be regarded [or recorded] as a quotation from Cicero's oration for Archias [sp?] (chap. 7 & 16),--a fact which makes it none the less available as a motto. ... | Awards Seal | Medal | 257 | 300 | 257 | ||||

Seal] A CIRCULAR, REGARDING CORRESPONDENCE WITH DISTANT HARVARD MEN. ______ Harvard Travellers Club ______ The Harvard Travellers Club was formed in 1902 with the wish of bringing together men interested in travel, of entertaining them with narratives of distant lands and seas by members and invited speakers, and of contributing in this and other ways to "the promotion of intelligent travel and exploration", which is the declared object of the Club. Membership is not limited to Harvard graduates or to travellers, but is composed of "men who are interested In the object of the Club." Resident members are those who reside within forty miles of the State House, Boston. The number of these grew so rapidly in the third year of the Club's life that a limit of 200 was set. This limit was reached in 1906 and has since then been maintained. Fifty-three non-resident members are also on the Club list. Fellows to the number of nearly sixty have been elected from among the members whose, journeys have led them off the ordinary routes of travel; and to these fellows is entrusted the government of the Club, under a constitution adopted in 1905. A Council of five members attends to the ordinary affairs of the Club. Three honorary members, whose names will be found also in the list of speakers below are: Hon. W. W. Rockhill, American Legation, Peking, China; Professor Nils Otto Gustaf Nordenskiold, University of Gothenburg, Sweden; and Sir Colin Campbell Scott-Moncrieff, Chelsea, London, England. Meetings have been held monthly except in summer, usually in private houses or in some Club in Boston or Cambridge; hence the necessity of limiting the membership. It has been an agreeable surprise to the Council to find an abundant supply of excellent speakers available. The names of the speakers and the subjects that they have presented, given in the list below, will illustrate the variety of good entertainment that the Club has enjoyed. The Club gives a gold medal annually, in recognition of distinguished exploration by one of its members. In 1906, the medal was awarded to William B. Cabot, for explorations in Labrador; in 1907, to Ellsworth Huntington for explorations in Central Asia; in 1908, to Mr. Thomas Barbour for zoölogical exploration in New Guinea. On March 18, 1908, the Club had an exhibition of trophies of travel, in which some thirty members took part. It is estimated that over 5000 objects were shown, and that the exhibit was attended by over a thousand persons. Correspondence with Distant Harvard Men A new branch of the Club’s activity is now proposed. It has seemed to the Council that many Harvard men who hold diplomatic or commercial positions in distant parts of the world might be willing to send communications to the Club from time to time, narrating some personal experience or interesting event in form for brief presentation to the Club, and that such communications, with or without photographic or other illustrations, might be presented at the meetings before or after the address by the speaker of the evening, with pleasant advantage to all concerned. The subjects for these communications may be best indicated as "anything that the writer, were he at home, would like to hear from some one else, abroad". Mr. Edgar H. Wells, General Secretary of the Harvard Alumni Association, 50 State Street, Boston, has been appointed to undertake the correspondence incident to this new project. Members of the Club are invited to send to Mr. Wells the names and address of appropriate correspondents whom they may know as temporary or permanent residents of foreign lands. W. M.

HARVARD TRAVELLERS CLUB. The Harvard Travellers Club was formed in 1902 with the wish of bringing together men interested in travel, of entertaining them with narratives of distant lands and seas by members and invited speakers, and of contributing in this and other ways to the "promotion of intelligent travel and exploration," which is the declared object of the Club. Membership is not limited to Harvard graduates or to travelers, but is composed of "men who are interested in the object of the Club." A few undergraduates were originally included, but their number has decreased. Most of the members are doctors, lawyers, and business men in Boston. Resident members are those who reside within 40 miles of the State House. The numbers of these grew so rapidly in the third year of the Club’s life that a limit of 200 was then set. This limit was reached in 1906, and has since then been maintained. About 50 non-resident members are also on the Club list. Fellows are elected from among the members whose journeys have led them off the ordinary routes of travel; and to these Fellows, numbering nearly 60, is entrusted the government of the Club, under a constitution adopted in 1905. A council of five members attends to the ordinary affairs of meetings; it also elects new members, selecting from among those nominated the ones who it is believed will best contribute to the Club’s welfare. Three honorary members are the Hon. W. W. Rockhill, U. S. Minister to China, who in 1904 entertained the Club with an account of his "Travels in the Borderland of China and Tibet"; Prof. Otto Nordenskiold, of Gothenburg, Sweden, who gave in 1906 a most graphic account of his adventures on the Swedish Antarctic Expedition of 1903-05, which he commanded; and Sir Colin Campbell Scott-Moncrieff, of London, who in 1907 narrated some of his experiences under the title, "Passages in the Life of a Roving Engineer," beginning with his going to the East in the last year of the Indian Mutiny and extending to his service in Egypt, where he was put by Lord Cromer in charge of the Nile. Meetings have usually been held about once a month from October to May, in private houses or in clubs; hence the necessity of limiting the membership. It has been an agreeable surprise to the Council to find an abundant supply of excellent speakers available; a list of the regions described would cover the greater part of the globe. Nearly all the addresses have been illustrated with original lantern views. Of Club members, Dr. A. Hamilton Rice has described his journey across South America from the west to the east coast, and as he is now returning from a second journey of exploration in the same region, he is counted on as a speaker for the coming winter; Prof. Raphael Pumpelly has told of his archeological explorations in Turkestan under the Carnegie Institution; Mr. Langdon Warner, of his visit to Khiva; Prof. I. N. Hollis, of a cruise in the Pacific; Dr. W. Lord Smith, of hunting experiences in China, Corea and Java.; Prof. W. M. Davis, of his journeys in the Tian Shan Mountains and in South Africa; Mr. W. R. Peabody, of climbs in the Canadian Rockies; Dr. A. M. Tozzer has described the natives of Yucatan; Prof. T. A. Jagger, Jr., a Harvard man teaching at the Institute of Technology, has told of his cruise among the Aleutian Islands in the summer of 1907; Mr. Isaiah Bowman, a Harvard man teaching at Yale, of his journey over the Bolivian Andes in the same year; Dr. J. M. Bell, a Harvard Ph.D., now director of the Geological Survey of New Zealand, of the Southern Alps in that distant land; Mr. C. P. Perin,’83, a Harvard mining engineer in New York, of his professional experiences in India; Dr. T. M. Rotch, of a summer tour to Spitzbergen and the ice-pack still farther north; Mr. V. Stefansson, of winter life among the Eskimo, as learned during his experience in 1906-07 at the mouth of the Mackenzie River; Prof. W. H. Pickering, of the volcanoes of Hawaii which he compared with those of the moon; Prof. S. I. Bailey, of a trip from the Harvard Observatory at Arequipa over the Peruvian Andes to the headwaters of the Amazon; Mr. E. B. Drew, who since his graduation in 1863 has been a resident of China as member of the Customs Service, has described the "Awakening of China"; and Prof. Theodore Lyman has told of a hunting trip in British Columbia. Of non-members, Capt. R. E. Peary gave an account of his Arctic explorations to an audience that crowded the Fogg Lecture Hall, this address being open to the University public; Mr. Bailey Willis, of the U. S. Geological Survey, described his experience in China during a geological expedition under the Carnegie Institution; Mr. Charles H. Hawes, of Cambridge, England, told of his travels in Eastern Siberia and the island of Sakhalin; Dr. A. C. Haddon, also of Cambridge, England, of his studies of the natives of British New Guinea; Mr. Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arctic Club, of a visit to the Soudan; and Mr. Anthony Fiala, leader of the Ziegler Polar Expedition, of his two years in the Arctic regions. One of the most important duties of the Fellows is the selection of the recipient of the Club medal, which is awarded this spring for the third time. The first medalist was Mr. W. B. Cabot, of Boston, selected in recognition of his explorations in Labrador, where he has made repeated journeys in the interior and whence he has brought home many good stories for the Club. The second medalist was Mr. Ellsworth Huntington who like Bowman is a Harvard man teaching at Yale; his journeys in Persia in connection with Pumpelly’s Carnegie Expedition, and in Eastern Turkestan, in connection with a journey undertaken by Mr. R. L. Barrett, of Chicago, have been described to the Club on various occasions, and have recently been made the subject of a book, "The Pulse of Asia," in which Mr. Huntington proposes to connect climatic variations with the progress of human history. The third medalist is Mr. Thomas Barbour, of the Graduate School, who spent the greater part of last year in a journey to New Guinea, where he made large and valuable collections chiefly of zoölogical subjects, and took many excellent pictures with which his address to the Club was illustrated. On March 18, 1908, the Club held an exhibition of trophies of travel in one of the halls of the Horticultural Society’s building in Boston, when over 5000 objects were placed on tables around the room and examined by a large number of visitors. The affair was given a social turn by serving tea in the afternoon; and in the evening a selection of views thrown on the screen gave the audience then gathered an indication of the kind of entertainment on which the Club has flourished. A new branch of the Club’s activity is now proposed. It has seemed to the Council that many Harvard men who hold diplomatic or commercial positions in distant parts of the world might be willing to send communications to the Club from time to time, narrating some personal experience or interesting event in form for brief presentation; and that such communications, with or without photographic or other illustrations, might be introduced at the meetings before or after the address by the speaker of the evening, with pleasant advantage to all concerned. The subjects for these communications may be best indicated as "anything that the writer, were he at home, would like to hear from some one else, abroad." Mr. Edgar H. Wells, General Secretary of the Harvard Alumni Association and a member of the Club (50 State St., Boston) has been appointed to take charge of the correspondence incident to this new project. As to officers: the president from the beginning has been Prof. W. M. Davis, who first proposed the formation of the Club; the secretaries have been Dr. J. C. Phillips, Dr. H. B. Bigelow, and Dr. T. W. Thorndike: last-named has held office for four years, and to his faithful service the growth and success of the Club have been largely due. Dr. Thorndike being unable to hold the secretaryship any longer, Dr. W. L. Smith has lately been elected to succeed him. Among the Councilors have been Prof. A. C. Coolidge, Mr. R. P. Blake, Mr. J. H. Kidder, Prof. A. L. Rotch, Dr. J. L. Bremer, and Prof. Theodore Lyman. The address of Secretary is 3 Willow St., Boston. William.M. Davis, s '69. _____________ From an unidentified publication in one of the Club scrapbooks. Pages 634-637 in a section entitled "Some New Clubs." Because of classes being given, it is assumed this is a Harvard publication. |

| Book 2 | 109 | 172 | 2 page letter signed my George Mixter, "a resume of my last summer's trip..." | 1910? | Typewritten | Letter | 67 | Club | Attached | No | "In reply to your letter of the 21st asking for a resume of my last summer's trip we left Vancouver on July 2nd for Wrangell. From here we went by gasoline boat to Telegraph Creek where we got our horse outfit, men etc. From here we followed the Ashcroft Trail parallel to the Stikeen River then up the Okaza (usually called the Klappan) River to its head, crossing to the Spatseezeh, another tributary of the Stikeen, which we followed also to its head. It was on the Okazu that I left my brother Sam, who remained in this vicinity and had very good hunting. From the head of thje Spatseezeh my party crossed to the Tea-ka-dzoa, also a branch of Stikeen, striking it near its head and following it <u>down</u> a couple of days' marches. We then followed a small tributary to its head and crossed to the head of a small river which flowed eventually into the Finlay. We crossed this and one or two other small rivers touching a large unnamed lake about 20 miles long, then across a burned strip to the shore of Lake Thudade. We followed the shore to the lower end, where it forms the head of the Finlay, which we crossed and going over the height of land struck the head of the Ingenika. We followed this down to the south, a distance of 150 miles, where it flows into the Finlay, cutting off the big bend which the main river takes. This country is badly burned and in places still burning. Following down the Finlay we reached Ft. Grahame where we left our horses and got a 40 foot dug-out. In this we went down the Finlayto where it meets the Parsnip forming the Peace, continued down the Peace past the Finlay and Parlepas Rapids to the head of the Hudson's Hope Canyon where we abandoned our canoe, and got our stuff across the portage with the aid of some Indians and their horses. As the H.B. post at the other end was not open we built a small raft and floated down to Ft. St. John, where we built a larger raft and flated down to Peace River Crossing. Here we took a wagon to Ft. Lesser Slave Lake. As the boat on the lake was sunk we had to take another wagon and go toSawridge at the head of the Lesser Slave River where we got a York boat to take us to the rapids. From here we went by wagon down the Less Slave and Athabasca Rivers to a point opposite Athabasca Landing where we had to wait a day until the river, which had just set, froze solid enough to cross on the ice. From Athabasca Landing we went by stage to Edmonton on the C.P.R., reaching there on November 11th. The distances are about as follows:- Wrangel to Telegraph 150 miles, to Ft. Grahame 550 miles, to Hudson's Hope 120 miles, to Ft. St. John 60 miles, to Peace River Crossing 300 miles, to Ft. Lesser Slave Lake 100 miles, to Sawridge 80 miles, to the rapids 40 miles, to Athabasca Landing 110 miles, to Edmonton 100 miles.

Roosevelt Here Talks Lion Hunting and Bars Politics Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who arrived in Boston yesterday to talk on lion hunting to the members of the Harvard Travelers' Club, made it very plain in short order that he intended to confine himself to his text very closely. In answer to the repeated requests of newspapermen he said he had come over to attend this function, which was held last night at the Exchange Club, and that today he would attend a meeting of the board of overseers of Harvard University and that was the sum total of his intentions. He was not talking politics, he said, and was not going to talk them, and that the newspapermen might as well give over. Later, when he went to dinner at the Exchange Club, he doubly barricaded himself from possible interviewers, leaving word with the doorman that he was not to be seen, that he was not to receive any cards, or messages of any sort. In this way he secured immunity. He expects to return to New York this afternoon." ______________________________ Date of talk was December 12, 1911.

without slides. He gave a most interesting and amusing account, from Bombasa
to Nirobi [sic] desert, the wild zoological part through which the train
passed through which carried him up country. The most salient points brought out by the speaker was the valuable information which could and should be brought out by hunter naturalists.

(2) What sort of objects would you exhibit ? (Pictures, equipments, hunting trophies, products of distant countries, ethnology, etc., etc. (3) How much space (tables or racks) would you need?

I was extremely sorry not to have an opportunity to thank you for the
interesing & delightful time [??] I spent listening to that story of the
Antarctic on Saturday evening [Nordenskjold meeting]. It was most kind of you
to ask me and I enjoyed the lecture exceedingly. With regard to the proposal in your note of yesterday's date, I beg you to accept my thanks for making me so flattering a suggestion, but I fear that I cannot see my way to falling in with it and for a very simple reason. I have been in no sense of the word a "traveller". In the course of my duty as an officer of the Cape Govt. Service I saw a good deal of South Africa but in a way which I cannot hope would interest many people. During the war I served as a volunteer and took part in the defence of Kimberley but that story is familiar. Afterwards I worked in Ceylon as a tea planter up-country, and as a surveyor and trader in the low country or jungle, but my experiences were only those of the trades I was engaged in. Subsequently I spent two years in the West and visited Alaska, Central America, and ? ? crossed the Isthmus of Panama, and there you have all my "travels". So you will, I'm, sure, realize that I could not presume to speak to your club from the point of view of an explorer or traveller such as they are accustomed to hear. ...

interesting letter. ... "I wish my turn for putting affairs of a club nature into form was more effective that it has ever seemed to be. How to direct the club meetings to the greatest results and best end is something my mind seems inclined, as is usual in such cases, to merely fumble. Personally I must acknowledge that what has kept me unusually responsive, as my habits go, to the club notices has been largely the merely geographical and human features brought forward by screen and speaker. Whether it is that the semi-scientific or mathematical side is in my case sufficiently served by business matters, or whether I am somewhat open to the charge of superficiality is hardly worth discussion, but I have to confess that ordinarily on these occasions unless the side of amusement or at least entertainment in the ordinary sense of the word is represented, as well as the being carried forth into far places or among primitive people, my interest would be less. This is indeed a somewhat shameful acknowledgement, if not very important. If the distinction can be made, I am likely in these days to drift toward a lift of spirit rather than toward improvement of mind, and the face of the earth, the people on it and some things above it represent in this connection the horizon I like. This might have some importance if I could speak for others but the most I can hazard is the idea that in the Travellers Club, devoted to "observant travel", the place to be filled effectively should be occupied only occasionally by presentations bearing directly upon really scientific or economic questions. Still everything must have at least a background on that side, as the economic and fully scientific after all ends in the human question. I have been wondering whether it would be practicable to raise a general fund of a few hundred dollars at least from which to vote special things, perhaps special lecturers, but what I had chiefly in mind was the enabling travel or true scientific work of any sort we may happen to be in sympathy with. There is of course the invidious; it would be necessary to vote for and to vote against, and feeling might arise. Yet it might be as easy to raise a half-dozen hundred dollars at once as to raise one hundred dollars separately for a specific end. Doubtless you know objections after all to this method." ... THE LAST PARAGRAPH MAY BE THE FIRST INKLING OF THE PERMANENT FUND.. |

letter. ... "What do you think of last night's meeting. It was fortunate that you told him to omit ornate and flowery phrases. I guess we had better stick to amateurs hereafter. If he had not had some warning as to what we wanted, I suppose he would have given us a terrible dose of grand language. The moving pictures were a novelty but not particularly interesting. Perhaps I am too critical, although I feel that there are many in the club that might sympathize with me. Believe me, as a rule, from newspaper man, wine agents and professional lecturers. The place for these is the platform, and their entrance announced by banjo music, and an audience scented up with fine perfume. There was something about Fiala that I liked nevertheless, and I believe he is all right, if he could get under the right influence. The evening perhaps was a little too long, but I get bored easily. It was very refreshing to have old General Abbot give us the benefit of a few remarks. I rather like the old fellow. Do you know whether the beer held out? When I get through the doctor business I am going to become a professional caterer. There would be little waste in my kitchen. I have got the science of ordering down to the least common denominator." Sincerely, |

It would be a favor if you could drop him a card to say that I shall be away till Aug. 20; and to let things lie till then, as far as I am concerned. I hope Colby will be out again soon; but not having his address, I cannpt send my final messages to him." The question of a future secretary has given me much concern. I do not feel that we can go on with Smith' the way he left the accounts when he went off in the late winter, was eno[ugh] to disqualify him. I do not feel that Colby is the proper successor; he is ambitious, but he does not think about the Club between times; too much in the way of fits and starts. I have wondered whether T. Barbour would be the man, but am not sure; what do you think[?]. He couldm if he would. Do you know of any young doctors, who would serve us? How about young Little, who was chm of our recent public meeting committee? ..." |

to Sir Ernest Shackleton. "Dear Prof, Davis: All of the assumptions in your favor of Friday are, so far as am aware, correct; that is to say, I shall endeavor, personally, to deliver to Sir Ernest Shackleton promptly upon his arrival, your invitation, though I am told he proceeds directly from the landing pier to Washington; expecting to reach the capital during the afternoon of the 25th. May I also say, as a personal matter, that Shackleton's time is wholly controlled by the Civic Forum., 23 West 44th street, of which, as you perhaps know, Robert Erskine Ely is director. I had a little, informal, social luncheon, or something of the sort arranged with Shackleton, direct, but at Mr. Ely's suggestion, I resigned in his favor; that is to say, so far as to permit him to fix a date, fitting it into his schedule, and that seems to have worked out all right. I may also suggest that perhaps to you, in strict confidence, for reasons which you can readily understand, that Mr. Ely is exceedingly reluctant to forward any scheme which places Shackleton in touch with the public, "without money and without price." You can readily umderstand that the too liberal parading of the lions through, the streets is likely to diminish the gate receipts, though there must be, of course, somewhere a middle ground in case of a man so justly eminent as Shackleton. With best regards, Yours very truly, signed" |

to Sir Ernest Shackleton. "Dear Mr. Davis: Most unfortunately Shackleton has not a single free evening for a dinner engagement. His time will be completely filled by lecturing except that he is to address the National Geographic Society of Washington and the American Geographical Society of New York. His second public lecture in America will be given in Symphony Hall Boston, on Thursday evening, March 31. He would be delighted, I am sure, to accept a luncheon in his honor on that day or a reception in the early afternoon. Any function which would not take place in the evening and which could possibly be arranged, I should be more than happy to do my best to bring about. About Peary. I feel now that I know him intimately. He is incapable of intentionally offering a slight to any organization or individual. He has been overwhelmed with mountains of correspondence for the past months and it is a miracle that he has been able to attend to it as well as he has, and inevitable that some things should have been overlooked, but knowing the burdens he is carrying I could not have the conscience even to feel, much less to express, any reproach. My experience of him is that there is not living a more just and high minded man than Peary is. I have seen him in very difficult circumstances which could not but reveal what the essenial man was and my admiration and respect have never altered for an instant. You must pardon me for saying that I think that in common justice your Club ought to attribute Peary's regrettable failure to write to the only cause to which it can possibly be attributed with justice, namely, a wholly pardonable oversight. Yours sincerely, signed." |

I will transmit this invitation direct to him but I am in a position to formally accept it on his behalf. It would be wiser, I think, not to attempt a reception, as you say. An auto ride in the suburbs after the luncheon would certainly be very acceptable to Sir Ernest. It is not necessary to raise the question with him regarding a "few remarks"; he is always ready to do this and will expect to be called upon at a luncheon in his honor. I am assuming that the Travelers Club is composed only of men and that there is therefore no question of Lady Shackleton's presence. Yours sincerely, signed" |

Dear Sir: It gives me pleasure, on behalf of the Victorian Club, to extend to you an invitation to serve as a member of an Honorary Committee to receive and welcome Sir Ernest H. Shackleton, the British explorer who isto deliver a lecture, under the auspices of our Club, on his recent expedition, in Symphony Hall, on Thursday, the 31st inst. It is eminently fitting that on this occasion adequate recognition of his wonderful achievements in Antarctic exploration should be accorded him. Membership on the Honorary committee involves no obligation other than to meet Lieutenant Shackleton, informally, at Symphony Hall shortly bef.re 8 p.m. on the date of the lecture. If it is impossible for you to be present at this reception, we should nevertheless, appreciate the privilege of using your name as a member of the Committee. Evening dress will be appropriate. I shall be obliged if you will favor me with a prompt reply. Yours faithfully, signed Albert I or F Flint, Secretary. |

"I feel justified in saying that, so far as any other person can speak for her, Lady Shackleton will be most happy to accept Mrs. Lowell's very kind invitation for luncheon on Thursday, March 31st." "P.S. Your letter of March 19 was mislaid. In reply I am glad to say that the arrangements you propose seem to me admirable in every respect, namely the luncheon of the Travellers Club to Shackleton at the Harvard Union, followed by a greeting after the luncheon from a company of students. You are safe in making this announcement in the college papers and otherwise. Shackleton was always pleased to address students at the universities in Great Britain and on the continent and I am sure he would like nothing better than this. The auto ride seems also an excellent plan. I have just accepted for both Sir Ernest and Lady Shackleton the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Bowker of 282 Beacon St., for dinner just prior to the lecture in Symphony Hall. They ought t o have, I suppose, some time to rest in the afternoon." |

desirability of starting a Club Library, of both books and maps was
discussed, and also the Hand Book was given further consideration. The Fellows approved of the plans to start such a collection of books and maps and voted that these be deposited in the Library of the Harvard Club of Boston, with the understanding that they were so placed with the privilege of withdrawal. It was to be understood however, that the probability of such withdrawal was remote and that without doubt they would remain for many years at the service of the members of the Harvard Club of Boston. It was further voted that a book-plate for the Harvard Travellers Club be prepared to consist of the Club seal with the statement "Deposited in the Library of the Harvard Club of Boston, and that each volume have this book plate inserted, and each map tobe marked with a suitable stamp showing it to be the property of the Harvard Travellers Club. It was further voted that a printed notice be sent out to all members of the Club, asking for contributions of books of travel and of maps, or of money with which such could [be] purchased. Members willing to make gifts of books or maps werer to be requested to send to the Committee a note in regard to the volumes or maps which would be contributed, in order that duplication should be avoided. It was further voted that the Club appropriate from its general funds the sum of one hundred dollars annually, for the purchase of books and maps, to be expendded under the direction of a committee." ... It was further voted tbat a Committee of three be appointed by the President to make such purchases for the Club library, and to look into and report to the Fellows on the cost of a set of wall maps of the continents and oceans which should be the first of the series of maps to be secured by the Club. This Committee was instructed also to cooperate with the Library Committee of the Harvard Club of Boston, with a view to determining what sort of cases the Harvard Cluyb should provide for the maps to be secured by the Club. The President appointed as members of this Committee: Prof. William M. Davis, Chairman. Dr Thomas Barbour, Prof. Theodore Lyman. In discussing the proposed Handbook of Travel, Prof W.M. Davis was added to the Committee on Publication, and Mr Oric Bates was added to the Committee on Mapping, Surveying nad Astronomical Observations. It was voted to ask Prof. R.A. Daly to undertake the section on Geology. It was voted, that chairmen of the various committees should make to the Fellows a report of progress February 1st. And that the completed manuscript for each section should be finiished, if possible, by April 1st. ..." |

During the prior year 1934 to 1935 expenditures of $1,407.44 were made on account of the Handbook. This year the Club incurred additional expenditures of $21, making a total of $1,428.44." "Since the close of the fiscal year the Club has received a legacy from the estate of Charles R. Cross of $1,000 for its permanent fund in memory of his son, Charles Robert Cross, Jr. The Life Membership Fund, being restricted to the use of income only, is the Club's permanent fund. This $1,000 has been added to that fund. It does not appear in the statement below as the money was received after May 1, 1936. This brings this fund to nearly $3,000. It is felt by the Council that it would greatly add to the usefulness and prestige of the Club if it were in such financial condition that it could, from time to time, contribute in a small way either to the organization of worthy expeditions or the publication of the results of such, always keeping in mind that many of the members are themselves doing such work and favoring the membership in the use of funds for such purposes. In order to increase this fund the Treasurer suggests to the members the consideration of whether many of them can change their membership to life membership, the life.membership fee being only,$100. The Treasurer also wishes to cite as an example of what many of the members can well afford to, do, the legacy so thoughtfully and kindly provided for the Club by Mr. Charles R. Cross. He hopes that many of the members' wills already contain legacies to the Club and that with this example many more members will change their wills to do likewise."

Secretary reported his negotiations with the Harvard Club and his conference
with Mr. Taft relative to the same. After full discussion it was voted to
leave the matter in the hands of the Secretary for further negotiaton, but it
was reported as the concensus of opinion of the Council that the cost of
dinners must be reduced to $1.50 or less, and the cost of the suppers be
retained at 50 cents, without extra charge for the room." Re establshment of the Permanent Fund: "The Secretary submitted to the Council the copy of the Trust to be organized for scientific and educational purposes and to be closely connected with the Club in order that gifts being made to the said trust would be deductible for income and inheritance tax purposes. The Council first approved the formation of the trust and then considered the question of trustees. It was determined to request Frederic Haynes Curtiss, the present President of the Club, George A. Lyon, and the present Secretary-Treasurer, John K. Howard, to act as trustees. It was then voted to donate to this trust the entire life membership and permanent fund of $4,901.98, provided the said trustees accepted." |

attendance of 63. "Dinners were held before the first four meetings this year. At that time the Harvard Club notified your Secretary that they were raising the price of the dinner from $1.75 to $2.00. In view of the fact that the attendance at these dinners had been falling off your Secretary felt that with an additional raise in price there was not sufficient interest in the membership to warrant having the dinners until some arrangement could be made with the Harvard Club or some other place to provide a more reasonable dinner. Last year we averaged an attendance of nearly 30 at the dinners, the January dinner having an attendance Of 40. In October of this year we started out at 30, but the attendance had dropped to 18 in January at the time that they were discontinued. It is hoped that some way will be found of having a simple buffet dinner with a cocktail that will cost not over $1.50. If this can be done the experiment will be tried to see how much interest the membership takes, and consequently how many members attend. The Secretary would welcome any suggestions. "There has during the year been a net increase of members, bringing the total membership to 305 "Since the Annual Meeting 18 members have converted their membership into life membership, bringing the permanent fund to $4,904.69. The officers of the Club wish to thank these members for their pleasing response to the above suggestion. "During this year several members who have changed their membership from regular to life membership have asked whether they could deduct the $100 fee in their Federal income tax return, the purpose of this fund being to further, exploration and other scientific purposes. It is felt that it is very probably an appropriate deduction, but in order to eliminate the possibility of any question, it was thought wise to create a trust to be closely connected with the Club, the purposes of which were clearly set out to be scientific and educational, to receive.gifts from members and others, thus, it is believed, eliminating any question as to the tax deductibility of such gifts. This was done, and it is now hoped that further gifts and legacies will be made to this trust. Such gifts we are of the opinion are deductible, if made during life, in the Federal income tax return of the donor, and if made by will, are deductible in the computation of Estate Taxes. For further details your Treasurer invites communications. "Your Council, pursuant to the power granted them under Article VI of the Constitution, have established the trust by donating to the Trustees $4,904.69 of the so-called Permanent or Life Membership Fund of the Club. They have done this for the purpose of furthering the object of the Club as designated by Article II of the Constitution, "the promotion of intelligent travel and exploration," and in order to stimulate gifts to the Club for the said purpose. "Your Council have voted as a first contribution for such purposes the sum of $100 toward the expenses of an expedition to the East Indies led by our Vice-President, Harold J. Coolidge." "The Year Book was omitted this year for financial resasons. An Addenda, bringing the names of members up to date, was published and distributed to the members in October. The cost of publishing the Addenda was $49.50." "...the Handbook of Travel was published and distributed by the Harvard University Press on a commission basis. During the two prior years, 1934-35 and 1935-36, expenditures of $1,428.44 were made on account of the Handbook. This year the Club incurred additional expenditures of $119.20, making a total of $1,547.644. ... As of April 30, 1937, the total sales of the Handbook were 451 copies."

MEETINGS WERE HELD IN MARCH OR APRIL. US Ambassador to Italy since 1936. "He told of conditions in Italy as he had seen them up to the time of his return to this country in October 1941. He first told what Mussolini had done for Italy--rescued the country from the post-war demoralization following the last war, made the Italian people think they were great warriors, etc., Hitler's visit in 1938. Attempts by President Roosevelt through King Vittorio Emanuele and Mussolini to keep Italy out of the war, Italy's fear of and complete subservience to Hitler. The debacle of the defeat of the Greeks, Italian troops had to be disarmed before returning to Italy, as it was feared they might start a revolt. The people took the loss of Abyssinia five years after its conquest lightly, contempt shown by Germans for the Italians, throttle hold of the Gestapo, Italy an occupied country almost as much as France. Unpopularity of the war among the people. Eclipse of Mussolini." No 1 of War Series but not listed as such on Notice. It is so listed in the Annual Reports of May 1, 1946. |

Note was taken of Dr. John B. Stanbury's suggestion that the Club look into the possibility of holding meetings at The Country Club in Brookline, the general feeling being that the option was not feasible logistically for many members. Brief consideration was also given to the MIT Faculty Club and St. Botolph's Restaurant as possible sites. Another option given serious consideration was to raise all dues by $5 and to subsidize dinners by $1, at least. ... In the meantime, it was agreed to charge members attending dinner only $10 ($6 for students) for the December and January meetings." "The Secretary reported that the Club is not in violation of Federal law concerning discrimination by virtue of not admitting females, according to a recent IRS notice. The issue of the Club's sex-related policies will be raised as a future meeting of the Council." |

28,1978 Dear Member: Some members of the Harvard Travellers Club have raised the question of whether we should relax the unwritten custom of inviting only male guests to our dinner meetings and lectures. That is, should we allow ladies to be invited to more meetings than just on the occasion of Ladies Night? Your Council has discussed this matter and recognizes that such a change has a number of implications for the future character of the Club. The regular admission of ladies as invited guests will change the ambiance of a men's club. This can be interpreted as an improvement or as a detraction depending on one's point of view. By this letter, I am informing all members of the change that has been suggested and I am proposing that, if the membership is willing, it be discussed further and acted upon at the Annual Meeting in May. The idea is to admit ladies as guests during the 1978-1979 season on a trial basis, with review and reconsideration of this change to occur at the Annual Meeting in May 1979. Specifically, a vote will be sought on the following three options for the coming year (with other suggestions welcome if received in time): 1. Stay as we are. 2. Allow ladies as guests for half of the meetings in 1978-1979. 3. Allow ladies as guests for all of the meetings in 1978-1979. Neither option #2 nor option #3 requires a by-law change. Please reply to this letter whether or not you plan to attend the meeting in May. We need to have an indication of the wishes of all of the membership. Listed below are some of the more obvious arguments for and against the proposed change. ARGUMENTS FOR CHANGE 1. More younger men who might want to bring their wives to some of the meetings would be attracted to the Club. 2. The subject of the talk on Ladies Night may or may not be one which interests the ladies. People have different interests. 3. Life in general is becoming more and more a mixed society, and we should keep up with the times. ARGUMENTS AGAINST CHANGE 1. The all-men's character of the Club should be preserved since there are few such sanctuaries now. 2. The Women's Travel Club is available for ladies and is more appropriate for them. A possible but not at all inevitable extension of the change is that, eventually, the ladies may be offered membership status in the Harvard Travellers Club. This, of course, would require a by-law change and is NOT what is being suggested here. So please reply. Write your reactions on the bottom of this page if it takes less time than a separate letter and mail your preference to the Secretary-Treasurer by April 18, 1978. Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this important matter. Yours sincerely, BENJAMIN G. FERRIS, JR., M.D. President Harvard Travellers Club Send reply to: Dr. John O. Field 128 Glenoe Road Chestnut Hill, MA 02167 PREFERENCE 1. Stay as we are. 2. Allow ladies as guests for half of the meetings in 1978-1979. 3. Allow ladies as guests for all of the meetings in 1978-1979. Comments, other suggestions, etc. |

Given that a large minority of those expressing their views opposed change, the Council chose to shelve the matter for reconsideration at a later date. Ladies Night is, thereby, preserved; and the Council also voted to permit members to bring ladies as guests informally at the November 1978 meeting." |

After much discussion on the format of the new Year Book, it was decided to postpone a decision until next month in order to enable President Ferris to contact potential benefactors -- this because the Year Book will cost approximately $6,000 and the Year Book Fund has only $1,138.70. Finance now looms as a major concern." |

second meeting of the season--and the 600th of the Club--was held on this
date in the Massachusetts and Aesculapian Rooms of the Harvard Club.
Sixty-six members and an equal number of guests were present for dinner, a
total of 132, the largest gathering in memory. This was a special meeting which recreated the menu served to Theodore Roosevelt at the 72nd meeting on December 12, 1911. The speakers were Kermit Roosevelt and his son, Jonathan, the grandson and great grandson of the former President. They spoke on their recreation of TR's African safari in 1960. Present at the Headtable were the Roosevelts, Mr & Mrs Mark Roosevelt, Dr & Mrs Lot Page, Dr & Mrs Terris Moore, Mr & Mrs Thomas Cabot, Mr & Mrs Henry Hall, Dr & Mrs John Stanbury, Dr Richard Estes, Mr & Mrs Robert Bates, Mr Adams Carter, and Dr & Mrs Benjamin Ferris. Between courses, the President, John Stanbury, introduced the head table, read the secretary's account of the TR dinner, read a newsclipping detailing TR's time in Boston, mentioned the flowers arranged by Sidney Smith. Thomas Cabot remarked on the early history of the Club. Terris Moore presented an Honorary Membership to Thomas Cabot and Robert Bates presented to Adams Carter the Club Medal. By all accounts the talk by the Roosevelts was excellent and certainly the arrangements provided by the Harvard Club were very good particularly given the larger-than-expected turnout. Each placesetting was graced by a special commemorative tile with the Club seal. |

of a news clipping in an unidentified Boston newspaper. December 13, 1911.
COL. ROOSEVELT HERE / TALKS LION HUNTING AND BARS POLITICS Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who arrived in Boston yesterday to talk to members of the Harvard Travelers' Club, made it very plain in short order that he intended to confine himself to his text very closely. In answer to the repeated requests of newspapermen he said he had come over to attend this function', which was helild last night at the Exchange Club, and that today he would attend a meeting of the board of overseers of Harvard University, and that was the sum total of his intentions. He was not talking politics, he said, and was not going to talk them, and that the newspapermen might as well give over. Later, when he went to dinner at the Exchange Club, he doubly barricaded himself from possible interviewers, leaving word with the*doorman that he was not to be seen, that he was not to receive any cards or messages of any sort. In this way he secured immunity. He expects to return to New York this afternoon. |

were 200 members present at the dinner. After dinner Col. Roosevelt talked
without slides. He gave a most interesting and amusing account, from Bombasa

through which carried him up country. The most salient points brought out by the speaker was the valuable information which could and should be brought out by hunter naturalists. Especially observations in regard to the habits and coloration of various animals. Wm. Lord Smith Secretary By H.E.O.* Harold E. Orendorff, who was retained by the Club for clerical help.

Over the years several members have suggested that an evening be set aside for members to show a few slides and say a few words about a place important to them or a travel experience worthy of the telling. At the moment we see such a meeting as a fitting opportunity to experiment with a venue other than the Harvard Club. The possibility of limiting this meeting just to members or members and spouses has also been a topic of discussion with the Council. Please let us know your views on the Club Night idea, particularly if you would be interested in participating. Club Vice President, Blue Magruder, has agreed to take the lead in organizing this experiment so you may wish to contact her at her office, 926-8200. | Meetings | MembersNight | 2412 | 2457 | 88 | ||||

In brief, each dinner costs the Club approximately $12 per person more than than the Club receives for it. This loss has in the past been covered by dues, but attendance per meeting has increased from an average of 48 in fiscal year 1995-6 to an average of 61 in year 1996-7, and increased again to an average of 97 for the first three meetings of year 1997-8. Total net surplus of income over expenses dropped from a profit of $450 in 1995-6 to a loss of $711 in 1996-7, and the Club faces a probable greater loss in 1997-8. In order to correct or reduce this problem, it was moved, seconded and voted to delete free wine served with the meal and to increase the dinner charge from $30 to $35 for any guests in excess of one per member. A former practice of allowing potential members to attend one meeting free of charge is officially discontinued." | Food | Prices | 2527 | 2572 | 203 | ||

year has shown progress in membership, attendance and interest. There have
been eight meetings as shown below and membership has increased. The average
attendance has been larger than in recent years but is only 25% of our
resident membership. The meetings are of great interest and carefully
arranged and should be better supported. Two Club Dinners were held and next
year it is proposed to have three, one in October, January and May. An
invitation was extended to the East Asiatic Society, whose objectives are
somewhat similar to ours and where there is an over-lapping of membership, to
combine with us but was not favorably received. The publication of the Year
Book has been postponed pending the vote on the proposed changes in the
Constitution of the Club. The Medal of the Club after several years in
abeyance has been awarded by the Council to Dr. David Fairchild and will be
presented at the October meeting. It is hoped that the Club may soon have a
definite headquarters and a meeting room." Report of the Secretary—Treasurer, May 1, 1931 (Archives): Membership Resident 199 Non-Resident 117 Honorary ? Fellows (included above) ?

year has again shown progress in several directions. Average attendance has
increased, interest has been greater and the quality of our talks is believed
to have been higher. There have been nine meetings, three of which were
Special Meetings for Commander Dyott, Sven Hedin and Bertram Thomas. Three
were held in the Auditorium of the Institute of Geographical Exploration to
which ladies could be brought by members. We had eleven speakers of whom
eight were members. The vote taken on where to hold the meetings resulted in
63% of the replies in favor of holding most of them in Boston, 80% for an
occasional meeting in Cambridge, and 83% in favor of an occasional
"Ladies' Night" at the Cambridge meetings. The Club Room so
generously provided by Dr. Rice has been furnished and the Club Library and
records transferred to it. A Club History has been written by Dr. Glover M.
Allen and will shortly be published. The Club Map hanging in our Room
plotting the travels of our members is being edited and brought down to date
by Harold J. Coolidge, Jr. The machinery for the revision of the Handbook of
Travel is organized, and it is hoped in the next year to bring down to date
this valuable little book published in 1917. A Librarian has been appointed
to build up our library and additions to it are solicited. The Constitution
and By-Laws were carefully revised and the Year Book again published. There
were four deaths and some resignations, but membership was well maintained,
all things considered." "Next year we are facing the expense of publishing the Handbook of Travel and the Club History, as well as purchasing a typewriter and a filing cabinet for our Club Room."
