Biographical notes:

The literary and social faculty club the Stochastics was founded at the University of Chicago in 1939 by William Burrows, R.W. Harrison, Graham Du Shane, H.H. Strandskov, and Thomas Park. All were young faculty members who sought an alternative to the more established faculty clubs, "The Innominates" and the "X-Club." The club was designed as a venue for " prandial pleasures, hilarity, extraneous gossip, and a total absence of scholarship."

From the guide to the University of Chicago. The Stochastics. Records, 1939-1972, (Special Collections Research Center University of Chicago Library 1100 East 57th Street Chicago, Illinois 60637 U.S.A.)
