Excerpt from The Arts Club and Its Members
The majority of the members have always been painters and architects; sculpture, literature, and journalism have been well represented, and so long as the Club was located in Hanover Square, where the next house in Tenterden Street was occupied by the Royal Academy of Music, there was always a numerous contingent of the Professors of various branches of the musical Art. Science, too, has been much in evidence in the membership, especially in the depart ments of experimental chemistry and zoology.
