History
The Today Club was founded on April 17, 1897. The object of the club was to "be the mutual improvement of its members in literature and cultivation of the social qualities." Membership was limited to 28. Every year a topic of study was chosen (e.g. Shakespeare, South America). Papers on the chosen topic of study were presented by members at the meetings, which were held every other week. The meetings locations varied, but were typically held at the home of one of its members.
