Biographical / Historical
The club came into existence in the Lent term of 1902. It evolved from Union Society debates concerning Irish subjects. It was a social rather than a political group intended as "reunion" of Irish undergraduates and was initially limited to 21 elected members. Its first formal meeting was held on 18 May 1902. The club, later renamed Cambridge University Hibernian Society, met until the 1970s.
