Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty-Ninth Anniversary, the Dutch Treat Club, 1964: For Members and Their Guests on the Occasion of the Annual Dinner; April 29th There seems no doubt that the small but select group of writers and artists who gave the Dutch Treat Club its impetus in 1 90 5 - in what Wallace Irwin described as a little dump in University Place, Off Union Square was hellbent on two things: 1, a choosy fellowship based on activity in the creative arts or professions, 2, an ino formality featuring provocative discussion and com plete detachment from conventional club trappings. In fact, the moving spirit Of that historic group argued that the nearer such a club reflected a state Of anarchy, the greater its chances for survival! Inexorably, the march of time, events and affluence modified such radical views as those uttered by George Barry Mallon, the redoubtable city editor of The Sun who wound up in the banking business. Mallon had illustrious company in such rugged individualists as Rupert Hughes, Ellis Parker Butler, Tom Masson and James Montgomery Flagg - the latter two serving as dtc prexies no. 1 and 2. But he was its original Spark plug, gave the club its name, was president at the time he died, in 1928, and has his memory preserved by the club's benevolent Mallon Fund.
