In 1894, to raise money for the growing club's library, artist members were invited to decorate ceramic mugs, which were then fired by Charles Volkmar, the club potter. The club would host a dinner followed by an auction of the finished mugs... Over the years, many decorated mugs have been returned to the club and are on exhibit in the library along with the largest collection of used artists' palettes in America.

“In every party there is one person who, through his dotingly credulous enunciation of party principles, incites the other members to defection.”

Untouched by Morning
And untouched by Noon—
Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection—”
