The founders were Edward Morrell, DeGrasse Fox, John Harrison, Edgar Scott, J.C. Mercer Biddle and Antonio Y. Stewart, all of Philadelphia, and Herbert Parsons of New York City. Two of the founders, Edward Morrell and Edgar Scott were members of The Rabbit in Philadelphia, a club long known for its good fellowship and gastronomic art, which was organized in 1861 and incorporated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1877. It is flourishing today, with its clubhouse on Christ Church Hospital Lane off Belmont Avenue, adjacent to Fairmount Park. It appears obvious that either Mr. Morrell and Mr. Scott had a copy of the charter of The Rabbit when the formation of The Pot and Kettle was being discussed by the founders, as the purposes of The Pot and Kettle stated in its charter are exactly the same as those in the charter of The Rabbit - "to encourage riding and driving among its members by the maintenance of a country resort for meetings and athletic sports" - except that in the charter of The Pot and Kettle the word "yachting" is added, so that "riding and driving" became "riding, driving and yachting." The founders elected officers and directors, adopted by-laws and elected twenty-four additional members in 1899 and 1900; pur- chased thirteen acres of land, later increased to fifty acres, front- ing on Frenchmans Bay near Hulls Cove in the town of Eden, now re-named Bar Harbor, and built a club house which now stands, practically unchanged over sixty years later. This was accomplished by the sale of capital stock to the members, all of which has long since been retired and cancelled. The interior of the club house consists of the tap-room, on one wall of which are framed photographs of the eleven former presidents; the dining room, with a large fireplace and ornamen- tal brick chimney, the walls around adorned with yacht pennants, and the chimney with the club flag; a third room, also with a fireplace, formerly used for card games but now for tea on garden 7 party days and for various other purposes during the summer, its walls containing many framed group photographs of members and guests over the years; an ample porch and a large kitchen, pantry and other service quarters. In the dining room there is also a grand- father clock which was presented by Admiral Evans to the Bar Har- bor Reading Room which disbanded in 1923, when it was given to Dr. James F. Mitchell, a distinguished physician of Washington, D.C. who in turn gave it to The Pot and Kettle. Dr. Mitchell, who died in 1961, was the oldest member of the club in tenure, having been elected in 1914. In 1899 and 1900, the only means of travel to and from the club was by phaetons, buckboards, surreys and four-in-hands by land, and yachts, other sailing boats and canoes by water. Automobiles were not allowed in all of the towns of Mt. Desert Island until 1915 but are now the only vehicles used for land travel. A pier was maintained by the club until 1932 for water travel. In 1956 a new pier and float were erected. The club membership for many years was limited to fifty; later the by-laws were amended to authorize the Board of Directors at its discretion to elect additional members not exceeding ten and by further amendment in 1960 there is a maximum of sixty-five. The weekly luncheons are held every Thursday, beginning on the first Thursday in July and concluding on the last Thursday of August or on the First Thursday in September if it comes before Labor Day. There is a garden party and flag raising on July 4th and another garden party later in the summer, at both of which invited guests are present. Widows of deceased members who continue to spend their sum- mers on the island or on the adjacent mainland have members' privileges for the garden parties and for private luncheons or dinners. The custom, long in practice at The Rabbit, for members and guests at the club luncheons to don chef's aprons before the lun- cheons were adopted by The Pot and Kettle, as was also the designation of a member as "Caterer" for the luncheon, his duty being to select the menu and to supervise the cooking. It is not unlikely that in the early days of The Pot and Kettle the Caterer 8 performed these functions, but the old records were destroyed in the great fire of 1947, SO that cannot be stated as a certainty; nowadays some Caterers at The Pot and Kettle take their respon- sibility for the menu seriously, although they do not supervise the cooking; others, however, leave the selection of the menu to the House and Grounds Committee. Generally speaking, the chief present-day duty of the Caterer is to preside at the meeting follow- ing the luncheon and to provide at least one and usually two or three speakers. Members and guests assemble in the tap room at twelve-thirty P.M. and there don their chef's caps and aprons, the President and the Caterer wearing blue aprons, all the others white ones. Liquid refreshments and canapes are served to each member and guest only after he has put on his cap and apron. At one o'clock the Presi- dent, accompanied by the guest of honor for the day and followed by the Caterer with any other speaker or speakers, leads the way to the dining room. The President presides at one end of the large oval table with the Caterer opposite him at the other end. As this table seats only twenty-four, smaller tables are set up in three of the four corners of the dining room. With the luncheon eaten and coffee served, the President rises to propose the one regular for- mal toast, "The President of the United States," after which he turns the meeting over to the Caterer who, after the speeches, turns the meeting back to the President at 2:30 o'clock or a little later. Despite the loss of the official records in the great fire, previous year books (actually "now and then" books) have been collected from various members from time to time and reminiscences in them tell us of various events at the luncheons. In the very early days two professionals cooked the meal and club members waited on the table, but as the luncheons grew in size and importance, the constant jumping up of members to remove dishes and place others on the table was not conducive to conver- sation, SO a steward and staff were engaged to wait on the table. The club has been the scene of many interesting social gather- ings. We are told of an amusing incident when at a dinner for "members, wives and sweethearts," Mrs. Ernest Schelling, wife of the distinguished pianist, acted as a waitress and caused much merriment by wearing a napkin on her left arm and soliciting tips 9 from those at the large table. One year James Bryce, then British Ambassador to the United States and distinguished author, was a guest and although then well over eighty years of age, donned his cap and apron, accepted a cocktail or two and made a very apt and clever speech. Among the nationally and internationally known guests at the Thursday luncheons have been Senator Harry S. Truman, Senator John F. Kennedy, Admiral Robley D. Evans, Admiral Richard E. Byrd of Arctic and Antarctic fame, President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard, Judge Learned Hand, Henry VanDyke, clergyman and author, and His Highness Gyalsay Palden Thondup Namgyal, the Choggal of Sikkim. When a warship of the United States is at Bar Harbor, as one usually is in the week of July 4th, the captain and his chief officers are always guests at the club luncheon and supply a color guard for the flag raising. The Club has also entertained the officers of ships of the British and Canadian navies visiting Bar Harbor in the summer and on such occasions there is an additional toast, in recent years, "To the Queen." Of the club's Presidents, Edward Morrell (1899-1902) was a Representative from a Philadelphia district in the 56th to 59th Con- gresses inclusive, 1900-07, and also a Colonel of the 3rd Regiment and Brigadier General of 1st Brigade, National Guard of Penn- sylvania; John Hone (1909-13) was for many years a Governor of the New York Stock Exchange and twice its vice president; Allesan- dro Fabbri (1914-15) was the "father" of Naval Radio - Bar Har- bor at Otter Cliffs, Mt. Desert Island, the most important and busiest radio station in the world during World War I; Charlton Yarnall (1923-39) who served longest as President and with great devotion, was prominent for many years in the social life of Philadelphia and of Mt. Desert Island, and Eliot Wadsworth (1942-49) was Under Secretary of the Treasury in the administra- tions of President Harding and President Coolidge. Other members, now deceased, who were prominent in social, industrial, educational or public life of the country were James R. Angell, President of Yale University; Alexander J. Cassatt, Presi- dent of the Pennyslvania Railroad; Walter Damrosch, the musical conductor; F. Burton Harrison, Governor General of the Philip- 10 pines; Ernest M. Hopkins, President of Dartmouth College; William Draper Lewis, Dean of the Law School of the University of Penn- sylvania and President of The American Law Institute; Dave H. Morris, Ambassador to Belgium; Horace Porter, Brigadier General, U.S.A. in the Civil War and Ambassador to France, 1897-1905; John D. Rockefeller, Jr., philanthropist, his gifts including many acres on Mt. Desert Island to Acadia National Park; Thomas D. Thacher, Solicitor General of the United States and Judge of the Court of Appeals of New York; Arthur Train, lawyer and creator of "Ephraim Tutt;" Sumner Welles, Under Secretary of State in the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt; and Seldon Chapin, career diplomat, whose last post was Ambassador to Peru. In both World Wars, many members of The Pot and Kettle par- ticipated, either in combat units or in important assignments in the military forces. Our most outstanding member was George G. McMurtry who was a member of the club for thirty-two years when he died in 1958. On the entry of the United States into World War I he was commissioned captain and went overseas with the 77th Division. In action at Charlevaux in the forest D'Argonne, France, October 2nd to October 8th, 1918, he commanded the Second Bat- talion of the 309th Infantry which was cut off and surrounded by the enemy, and although twice wounded, he continued to encourage his officers and men throughout the entire period, directing the defense against the German attack until it was defeated. His com- mand was the famous "Lost Battalion." For his gallantry above and beyond the call of duty he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor which he received at the hands of General Pershing after the armistice of November 11th, 1918. Jay Cooke, who died in 1963, served in both World Wars. He was one of the organizers of the Plattsburg Camps, was commis- sioned a first lieutenant in the infantry, was in the Meuse-Angonne battles in 1918, was cited for gallantry and promoted to captain. In the second war he went overseas as a captain in the 110th In- fantry, 28th Division, lost an eye from a German machine gun bar- rage in the battle of Bastogne, Belgium, was promoted to lieutenant-colonel and awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart with Cluster. Following the end of the war, he was promoted to the rank of full colonel. Carlton Yarnall recalled in his reminiscences in the 1950 club 11 book that one year during his presidency he introduced a British admiral, who was a guest at a club luncheon, to Arthur Train, whose early novels had been considered "broad," if not improper, saying that Mr. Train was the nephew of Admiral Train, whereupon the Britisher exclaimed: "I am SO glad you told me. You know I thought at first he might be that Arthur Train who writes those nasty books." Mr. Yarnall concluded: "We all laughed and poor Arthur had to join in." During World War II the club house was closed for two years due to gasoline and food rationing, but it was opened again in 1945 and at one of the first luncheons members of the Truman Commit- tee of the United States Senate were presented and also Major General Sherman Miles, Commander of the northeastern area and his staff. Of the many ships of our Navy whose officers our club has entertained, two are of special interest, the U.S.S. Missouri and the U.S.S. Indianapolis. When the Missouri was in Frenchmans Bay - her draft was too deep to come to the dock at Bar Harbor- - the club gave a luncheon in honor of the Captain and ten other of- ficers of the battleship, with a return visit to the "Big Mo" for club members and their families on a special tender. The club enter- tained the officers of the Indianapolis when she visited Bar Har- bor on her trial run. Later, she transported atomic bombs to the Pacific and delivered them to the Air Force. Tragically, she was torpedoed and sunk off the Philippines on July 31, 1945, with a loss of eight hundred and eighty officers and men, the last major loss in World War II. The pictures of these two ships, presented to the club by their officers, are among our finest mementoes. It would be inappropriate to mention by name any of the pres- ent members of The Pot and Kettle, but the roster does show that in its more than sixty-five years the club has grown into a unique organization not only of established repute on Mt. Desert Island but also in American club life generally. Boyd Lee Spahr, Secretary 1957-1966 Once again we are republishing this little red book which has been SO useful to the membership. As 20 years have now passed 12 since Boyd Spahr wrote his notes on the origin and history of the Pot and Kettle, it is time to bring the record up to date. It is a pleasure to report that the club continues to thrive. The membership is presently filled at our limit of 80 members and when vacancies have occurred in recent years, there have always been more candidates than places for them. The average attendance at the Thursday luncheons is about 40. The Sunday buffet luncheons to which ladies may be invited were instituted in 1983 and they have proved to be popular with an average attendance of about 50. There have also been more private parties, SO the use of the club has been increasing. The much needed rehabilitation program in the clubhouse in recent years has been made possible by cash surpluses from regular operations, the spending of reserves and most of all by the generosi- ty of members. The club has no debt. The building was designed for the Pot and Kettle in 1900 and has been occupied by it ever since. It is now considered a classic example of the architecture of the period, and we have felt it essential to preserve and improve it. On July 4, 1987 a new flagpole and terrace in front of the clubhouse was dedicated in memory of Amos Eno. Amos was Presi- dent from 1965 to 1979 and a member for 53 years. His brilliance, his great sense of humor, and his friendship will long be remembered, and his strong leadership successfully guided the club through a period of change. In 1985 a sundial was erected in memory of Thomas B. McCabe who was Vice President of the club from 1955 to 1979 and a member since 1949. His wisdom and his strong support helped the Pot and Kettle greatly over many years. Following the example of previous notes it seems fitting to men- tion a few of the well-known men, now deceased, who were members of the Pot and Kettle in recent years. Thomas K. Finlet- ter was a former Secretary of the United States Air Force. Thomas S. Gates served as Secretary of Defense and was later Chairman of the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company in New York. Gordon Gray was a former President of the University of North Carolina and also served as Secretary of the Army. Clarence C. Little was Presi- dent of the Jackson Laboratories in Bar Harbor and served as our 13 President from 1950 to 1954. Walter Lippman the famous news- paper columnist and political philosopher was a member for 28 years. Thomas B. McCabe was Chairman of the Federal Reserve System from 1948 to 1951 and formerly President of the Scott Paper Company. Nelson Rockefeller was Governor of New York State from 1958 to 1973 and was Vice President of the United States from 1974 to 1976. It is my sad duty to record the names of members who have died during the last five years. They were: Tristram Colket, Sr. Herman Kiaer Edward Ellsberg Wheaton J. Lane Amos Eno W. Lawrence LePage A. Gurnee Gallien Thomas B. McCabe Thomas S. Gates, Jr. Charles D. McWilliams, Jr. James W. Gerard Homer Reed Gordon Gray William J. Schieffelin, Jr. Curtis M. Hutchins Beauchamp E. Smith James Jackson, Jr. Frederick B. Stimson Charles H. Woodward They added immeasurably to the spirit of good fellowship at our meetings, and we miss them all. We have been fortunate in having as guests of the club many distinguished men who have spoken at the Thursday luncheons. Among the most memorable speeches, all of which have been "off the record," were Zbigniew Brzezinski, Assistant to President Carter for the National Security Agency; Archibald Cox who spoke on "Watergate- - one year later"; J. Peter Grace, head of the Presidential Commission to recommend economies in government spending; August Heckscher, scholar and former Commissioner of the Parks in New York City; Moorhead C. Kennedy, Jr., then just released as a hostage in Iran; Edmund Muskie, former Senator from Maine and former Secretary of State of the United States; Paul Nitze, who spoke immediately after his return from the Geneva disarmament meeting in 1986; Dr. Nathan Pusey, former Presi- dent of Harvard; and Casper Weinberger, Secretary of Defense. We have also had a number of outstanding talks by our fellow members. No record of the Pot and Kettle for this period would be com- plete without mention of Archie Lye, club steward from 1955 un- 14 til his death in 1982. An unforgettable prototype of the perfect English butler, Archie served in Bar Harbor and Washington, D.C. where he was caterer for confidential meetings at the White House and the State Department. He had a huge acquaintance and he seldom forgot a name. His insistence on fine and traditional ser- vice gave great distinction to our luncheons. This tradition is ably carried on by our present steward, Paul Hinton. In closing, the Pot and Kettle is a unique organization which continues the fine traditions of the past, but which after 87 years still strengthens the ties of friendship and the desire of its members to keep informed on current affairs. Long may it continue to prosper! William G.
