Biographical / Historical
The College Alumni Club was organized December 5, 1890 at the home of Dr. James B.
Taylor, a professor of Natural Science at Illinois Wesleyan University. The club was
founded to address the need for a group of college men to assemble and discuss issues of
significance as well as to promote fellowship amongst college graduates. It is one of the
oldest continuous clubs in the area, and holds dinner meetings monthly, where a paper is
read and then discussed after the meal.
