A peculiarity of Adirondack villages is that they frequently are not on the shores of the lakes from which they take their names. The Club has its own telegraph and post offices, but train, bus and plane service is to the village, from which one reaches the Club by taxi. The Club was founded by Melvil Dewey, originator of the Dewey Decimal Classification, has a private bathing beach and bathhouse which are free to guests, twelve tennis courts, one 9-hole and two 18-hole golf courses, bridle paths, and for recreation indoors, a billiard room, 'several card rooms, and a library of 10,000 volumes. The main auditorium seats, with its balcony, 800. There will be ample room for us on the floor which is furnished with armchairs. We shall be assigned a special dining room seating 300. There is no bar or cocktail lounge, but ice and soda may be obtained through room service, and one cottage may be set aside as our "social headquarters."
