THE UNIVERSITY CLUB A Popular Organization in Its Hand- some New Quarters. ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME. ‘The Attractive House at the Corner of 17th and I—A Club With a Short but Interesting History—Somefhing About Ite Manage- ment—The List of Members. Mc@ ,2as BEEN SAID AND ‘WRIT. ten gf late about the clubs of Washington, and the growth of these organizations is, in @ _ Way, a striking evidence of the city's progress and prosperity. That Washington, which s few years ago could boast only one or two clubs of any suc- cess or prominence, should now point with proper pride to four or five, each equally in- dispensable and useful in its particular field, is a most convincing evidence that the city is not at # standstill in this line of progress any more than in any other. «The Metropolitan, the Cosmos, the Columbia Athletic and the Army and Navy all have com- fortable homes of their own, while the infant of this successfal group, the University Club, is now installed in its handsome new quarters at the northwest corner of 17th and I streets— ~ the very heart of the club section. For some time past there have been signs of considerable activity about this house, that has for years been known as the old Ray mansion, and workmen of one sort and another have been busily engaged about it,making extensive repairs and alterations. It was known to many that this was the house chosen by the University Ciub when it became evident that if it would accom- modate its rapidly growing membership it must move into more commodious quarters. This move was made on the Ist of December, and already it is more than evident that the move was a wise one, for not only are the old mem- [estise inet. Bere the, meen than library. Here the mem very pleasant to gather and while hour or two honrs, if necessary. On the floor with these rooms are the card and toilet rooms, while on the floor above area num! of bachelor apartments for members of the ciub who practically make the club their home. MEMBERS WHO DINE AT THE CLUB. The club has leased this ae buil for a period of years and wi vilege mirchase at any time, and it is more than Fiely that long before it comes time to rene’ the lease the University Clab will have the building for its own. A better sitecould hardly be found in the city. The piece of ground upon which the house stands is much larger than the house, so that at any time additions can be made as needed. It is one of the most valuable corners in the city, but if the mem- bership increases, as it has been doing, and if the club proves to be anything like the success that similar organizations in other cities are, it will soon be justified in making the purchase. ‘The details of the rapid growth of the Uni- versity Club are decidedly interesting and should serve as an encouragement to other ciubs about to enter the lists with a small membership, and correspondingly small hopes for future greatness. In the early fall of 1888 one of Washington's energetic and popular young men became convinced that there was room in the city for an organization with a membership strictly limited to young men and with numerical restrictions pointing to a dis- tinctively small and select organization. ders pleased with the possession of a more con- venient home, but the list of applicants for membership is'« large and healthy one. THE NEW HOME. In the first place the house was admirably edapted for club purposes. and the alterations that are now almost completed will make it all the more convenient and comfortable. The building is a three-story one, with a basement that is really ona level with the street, and @dds one more available floor. The main en- feance is on I street, with a broad flight of Steps and s porch that leads directly into the main hallway of the house. On the 17th street side another entrance has been made that prac- tically makes of that partan English basement house. This entrance is likely to be very gen- erally used. for it opens into a wide hall, where the clerk's desk has beon placed, and froma there an‘easy flight of stairs leads to the floor above. Inside the house has been treated toa thor- ough overhauling, and by the time the work is all Sniahed will shine with new paper and clean paint. Things are of course still in some little ‘eenfusion, such as must always follow upon a fall moving and house cleaning, but order is being tout of chaos in a satisfactory manner, and. it ‘will not be. long before the members will feel as much at home here as they did in their old home on the othcr side of the Block. ‘The billiard room, that is such a popular feature in clubs, is located on the ground floor and is large enouzh to accommodate three Balliard or pool tables. The walls and wood- ‘work have been finished in a solid color and at ‘one end of the room an open fireplace lends a decided air of good cheer. Handsome chairs aad settees of hard wood and leather are placed sgound the room for the accommodation of the spectators. The open fireplaces, the first of which one is likely to notice in this room, form one of the mpost delightful features of the house. In fact imevery one of the larger rooms with but one emception a cozy fire burns upon the hearth amd offers an irresistible invitation to draw up big easy chair and be comfortable. There are more attractive nooks and orners scat- tered around than one could become properiy Yamiliar with in a long time, and it is just this sort of place in a club as in a home that makes life comfortable. ‘On the first or main floor of the house there age four large rooms in addition to a com- odious butler’s pantry. Throughout they have been finished and furnished in a hand- same manner, but it is evident that the first ceusideration was comfort, for ali the rooms that are finished for occupancy have already taken on « homelike air that mere upholst amd hangings could never give, no matter how fime they are. All the rooms open out from tha central hallway. On the left, as one enters, ispa small reception room, the beauties of which will be realized by strangers who find that they do not have to be ushered directly into one of the larger rooms that are probably already occupied by groups of members. To the right is a cozy sitting room that is tastefully furnished, and opening asit does both to the south and east, is sure to be flooded with sunshine if the sun is anywhere in sight. This is one of the blessings of life that was not so Roticeably present in the old house, and some of the members have expressed the opinion that this one advantage was worth the trouble involved in moving. In this sitting room an open grate fire burns whenever the weather is drawn up in a circle around it make a very at- tractive place to sit and read or smoke one's after-dinner cigar. Back of this room and across house is the largest room a she club. This is likely to be as the general gathering place of the members on ‘account of its size and con- yenience. A number of small tables are scat- tered around the room, and on these are spread all the standard periodicals as well as many of thecollege papers and magazines that are Sqbgclally interesting to the members of celab of this sort. walls and woodwork of the roomare finished in soft and pleasing my with the hangings and windows open out ona and this wi bly be i is just at tall 3 F BRS F | i és i I : 4 : ge i t f i | : | i HI i Fy | £ I i : £ j g : : i i Despite the innumerable difficulties that usually beset one in such an undertaking he persevered, and, after several meetings with those of equal enthusiasm and of kindred ideas, the gatherings all being held on @ street near the house so soon to be vacated by the Army and Navy Club, the Meridian Club took its place among the clubs of Washington. So suc- cessful was the young organization that in » few months the club leased a comfortable house on 17th street south of the Metropolitan Club. But the idea of a limited membership soon gave way toa desire for increased num- bers and club facilities, and on the expiration of the lease a move was made to the large and well-ndapted Hunter mansion, 1726 I street. Here the Meridian Club lived and prospered upon the strict basis of a young man's club. and although afew older men could be found upon the roll the organization was pre-emi- nently under the direction and control of the younger element. It is highly probable that it would be running today under’ the conditions before mentioned had ‘there not arisen among the university and college graduates roskling in Washington the plan of forming a univer- sity club. Washington of all cities in the country has a large field for just such » clubas the University. As the capital of the nation it ix the home of men who have gained distinc- tion in all that pertains to @ university club— science, literature and art. It is a fact worthy of note that the members of the Meridian Club possessed almost to a man the qualifications such as would be demanded for admission toa university club; but they did not seriously cousider a change in their RECREATION FROM THE LABORS OF 3 state until a proposition looking to lamsialge- mation with a body of men formed for the urpose of establishing the University Club of Washington was made. There hitherto been a strong desire among some of the mem- bers of the Meridia for an enlarged field of club life and activity, and the university idea gained weight and ground. To others, however, it seemed quite im- practicable to work a change in affairs, inas- much as it was apparent that the Meridian Club, with its home and good start, and with its own ideas as to what a university club shonid be. possessed the key to the situation. ‘The project of amalgamation was therefore abandoned. but the part that the Meridian played in the establishment of the present Uni versity Club was that of an infant acting asa parent—an apt illustration of which will b seen in the following extract from the certifi- cate of incorporation: “Whereas, at a meeting of the Meridian Club, a body corporate, exist- ing under and by virtue of the acts of Con- gress relating to the District of Columbia, duly called for that purpose and held on the 10th day of January, A.D. 1891, it was resolved that the present board of governors be, and hereby are, constituted a committee with full power to take all action which they may deem neces- sary to change this club into a university club, &e.” At the present date the club numbers some- thing over 300 active, non-resident and inactive members, with a large waiting list, to be acted upon fn due season. With its new and attrac- tive situation, its roomy, old-fashioned house, so long a familiar sight to the residents of ashington, the club sees an era of prosperity opening up, a fact to which the increased num- ber of applicants for membership bears satis- factory testimony. The cafe, always the feat- ure requiring the mostattentionaud producing the minimum of profit, is in good hands; the library, well stocked with volumes admirably” arranged and catal is one of the popular features of the club. In- asmuch as the University Club is now so actively in existence it will not be amiss to quote a sec- tion or two of the constitution, and, primaril the h relating to “eligibility to mem: bership” will attract notice: “Candidates for membership must be at least twenty-three years of age. They must have pursued a course of study for at least two years at a recognized college or university or the United States Mili- tary or Naval Academy, or have received a degree, either in course or honorary, from such college or university.” By unwise section, too, in the constitution is the a "12, 1891-SIXTEEN PAGES. for three beginning on the third SHE WAS MISTAKEN.
