UALR.0134 B-44 XV CLUB PAPERS UALR Archives & Special Collections 1 4.25 linear ft. 1904-present. Donated. Revised Jan. 2009 jlm This collection contains the organizational materials, presentations, minutes, correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, and other materials related to the XV Club of Little Rock, Arkansas. The organizational meeting of the XV Club was held at the office of Harmon L. Remmel on January 7, 1904. Carl E. Voss brought the idea of the club to Little Rock from Pine Bluff where an XV Club had been organized. Limited to 15 individuals, the club meets fifteen times during the year (October-May) and a different member hosts each meeting. According to Article 1 of the Constitution, "the object shall be social intercourse and the discussion of literary, scientific, historical, political, and all current topics; but no question having a sectarian bearing on Christianity shall be discussed in the Club." The minutes of the organizational meeting of January 7, 1904 also noted that the intent of the Club was to be "cultured but not too cultured, literary but not too literary, political but not too political, scientific but not too scientific, funny but not too funny, serious but not too serious. .” At the meeting, there were four founding members, Harmon L. Remmel (No. I), Charles McKee (No. II), Carl Voss (No. III), and Charles Ferguson (No. IV). A major goal of the Club is to invite guests to meetings to maintain attendance at 15. Guests have been noted in the minutes listing when available, along with the evening's topic. Topics varied from year to year and cover a wide range of interests, knowledge, and information. Historical, literary, and scientific events were presented along with current topics. For many years, the President’s State of the Union address was the topic of discussion for the January meeting. Many of the presentations contain material on prominent personalities or notable events of a particular time period (“The Panama Canal” at a 1904 meeting; “Huey Long” at a 1934-35 meeting; “the National Debt and the Marshall Plan” in 1947-48; “presidential succession” in 1964). Many of the presentations include information and history of events in Arkansas (e.g., a 1934-35 presentation on liquor control or a 1961-62 topic of lotteries). Others are merely humorous, such as “The Human Mind – Its Cause and Prevention”. For additional XV materials in other UALR manuscript collections, see also: E. B.
