Medical Club of Philadelphia
The Medical Club of Philadelphia was founded in the Nineteenth century, as a social club of doctors devoted to non-medical interests. Lots of famous names, here.
The Annual Outings of the Club came to an end in 1956. In 1978 the January Meeting was canceled due to bad weather.
