TO ALL GRADUATE MEMBERS OF THE HASTY PUDDING OR INSTITUTE OF 1770: 
By an overwhelming vote of the Undergraduates and with the approval of the Graduate 
Committees and the Trustees of both Clubs, it has been determined to amalgamate the Hasty 
Pudding Club and The Institute of 1770 (which now includes the D K E) to take effect at the 
end of this college term. 
The uniting of these oldest organizations in Harvard is a very important event in the un¬ 
dergraduate life at the University. 
It is proposed to make the new 
Hasty Pudding Club 
Institute of 1770 
an active sophomore society where all of the traditions of both organizations will be main¬ 
tained and permitted to continue their important functions in the undergraduates’ social life 
during the Sophomore, Junior and Senior years and at a very moderate cost to the members. 
The present Hasty Pudding clubhouse on Holyoke Street will be remodeled and en¬ 
larged. The plans include adequate dining and kitchen capacity to supply the active mem¬ 
bers with a regular restaurant; repairing and refurnishing the present club rooms, and suit¬ 
able housing for the combined libraries. The work will start about April 15th and be com¬ 
pleted in time for the opening of coUege in the autumn, after which time it is hoped all the 
graduate members will avail themselves of its hospitality and will help to make it the success 
we anticipate. 
It is also proposed to publish as soon as edited, a combined catalogue of all of the mem¬ 
bers from 1770 to date, together with the early histories of the Hasty Pudding Club and The 
Institute of 1770, and other interesting Pudding stories by William Roscoe Thayer, ’81, and 
Owen Wister, ’82, reprinted from the 1907 catalogue. 
We believe this catalogue will be of especial interest to every graduate member and to 
defray the cost of publication and assist us to determine the number of copies desired, we must 
ask for subscriptions and a remittance at this time of $2.25 per copy for those who desire same.
