Organized on January 20, 1905, the Grab Bag Club was a small organization of a social nature, composed of about a dozen members at a time, all selected from the Harvard College Class of 1893. The original membership selection process required members to have diverse life occupations in order to have more lively conversation (hence the group's name); this process was dropped in later years. The group dissolved on May 25, 1955.
