"Well, no, you needn’t mind. The students still respect their fellows who approach these standards, yet they think no worse of a man, but rather better of him, and rightly, too, if he be a thorough man, and have a manly body as well as a good mind and upright character. Among those who presided at the initial dinners of the club were Robert Treat Paine and Henderson Inches, class of 1792; Charles Cutter, class of 1793; and Rev. Joseph McKean, L.L.D. Its members are taken from the senior, junior and sophomore classes about eight from each class. US President Theodore Roosevelt and other members of the extended Roosevelt family belonged to the Porcellian, but the club did not invite his distant cousin, Harvard sophomore Franklin D. Roosevelt (later a US President), What is a billiards club to join. Additionally, the young Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. received no invitation to join the Porc; a biographer writes that "For years later, Joe Kennedy remembered the day he didn't make the Porcellian Club, the most desired in his mind, realizing that none of the Catholics he knew at Harvard had been selected". Most young men prefer to give their money at the gate, and thus to pay for what they see.

He was considered a dandy, and the young beaux of his little town copied his dress, and asked him for the addresses of his tradesmen. On the departure of the hated proctor, a broad grin would spread over the countenance of the joker and in a little while the scene would be repeated with variations. Theodore Roosevelt was noted to have brought his first wife, Alice Hathaway Lee Roosevelt, to eat lunch at the Club while they were undergraduates. In the year 1791, a student brought a pig into his room in Hollis. He reached for the house telephone and gave directions for the luncheon in his room. Finally, in 1881, it determined to tear down the old house where it had so long met, on Harvard street and build a new structure its site. The new structure is of brick, handsomely trimmed in stone, and rises to the height of four stories, with about seventy or eighty feet of frontage on Harvard street. This society was established in 1791. It occupies rooms on Harvard street and owns a library of some 7000 volumes. The first of them contains a large hall which opens both into the front and rear reception rooms and parlors, which, in turn, communicate.

On the second floor, in addition to a room over the library, there is a billiard hall in the front and a breakfast room in the rear with the kitchen over the main hall of the floor beneath. Two large stores claim a part of the ground floor, but they do not encroach on the broad and handsome entrance to the club's apartments. Its entrance faces the Harvard freshman dormitories and the entrance to Harvard Yard called the Porcellian, or McKean, Gate. The gate was donated by the club in 1901 and features a limestone carving of a boar's head. A notice of Harvard would be as incomplete without a reference to the Porcellian Club as a notice of Oxford or Cambridge would be in which the Union Debating Society held no place. In speculating as to why Richardson was chosen, he writes, "The thirty-four-year-old possessed one great advantage over the other candidates: as a popular Harvard undergraduate he had been a member of several clubs, including the prestigious Porcellian; thus he needed no introduction to the rector, Phillips Brooks, or five of the eleven-man building committee-they were all fellow Porcellian members". Q: What do members of your club geek out about?

But there is nothing there, hardly a club at all. They enjoyed their midnight meal so much that they determined then and there to form a club and have such entertainments periodically. Myddleton Finch then left me, and, sitting alone, I realised that I had been doing William a service. Then the writer commented on Portland's weak team of the year before. So he invited some of his classmates to the room and the pig being cooked, all present partook of a goodly feast. The quarters consist entirely of a large room over a row of stores in Harvard Square. Nearly the whole of the top floor is taken up by a large banquet hall, vaulted by handsome rafters. It has been proved in a large way by giving troops dried vegetables and fruits that the attack of scurvy could be warded off, but in curing scurvy they were nowhere alongside green.
