Excerpt from Catalogue of the Honorary and Immediate Members, and of the Library of the Porcellian Club of Harvard University, Instituted, 1791

According to one of the conditions of the Union, a Cata logue is published triennially, comprising the Honorary Mem bers of both Clubs down to their junction, together with the Honorary and Immediate Members of the Association since that period.

A Catalogue of the Library is subjoined to that of the Members. By the union of the two Clubs, the Library was increased in 1831 to volumes. It has since been greatly augmented by the liberality of the Members, and now amounts to very nearly volumes.

Until the year 1833, the books, prints, &c. Of the Associ ation had always been kept in the Librarian's room; but at this period, the Members, becoming fully sensible of the inconvenience. And insecurity attending this method of pre serving so large and valuable a collection of books, deter mined upon appropriating a room exclusively to the Library.

This room is now open at all hours of the day, for the use of all the Honorary and Immediate Members of the Club.
