The Columbia University Club was founded in 1901 by recent graduates of Columbia University.[4] The Club had 1,000 members in 1910 and moved to a large clubhouse in Gramercy Park until 1915, when it moved to 4 West 43rd St. It remained there until 1973, when, in need of capital, it sold the building to the Unification Church of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. It subsequently entered into agreements for its members to use first the Women's National Republican Club, then the Williams Club, and the Princeton Club of New York, before partnering with the Penn Club in 2017.[5] Due to renewed interest in the Club from Columbia University’s alumni, the Club has experienced significant growth in recent years. As of December 2005, it has over 2,500 members.[6]
Affiliation with Penn Club
As of March 2017, the Columbia University Club operates under an affiliation agreement with the Penn Club, which allows the Columbia University Club to reside and maintain operations at the Penn Club and allows its members full use of the Penn Club's facilities. The Columbia University Club is administered by its Board of Governors and maintains its own administrative committees, which are separate and distinct from the administration of the Penn Club.
