Harvard Anthropological Society.

The Harvard Anthropological Society was founded in 1898 to promote interest in anthropology. The society was composed of undergraduates and graduates of the University who had taken courses offered by the Department of Anthropology, as well as honorary members including Professors F. W. Putnam and Franz Boas. The society met monthly during the college year to discuss presented papers, and sponsored several public lectures a year. Circa 1909, the society became known as the Harvard Anthropological Club. It is unclear when the society died out.
