P&S takes pride in the fact that many of its students and faculty are poets, writers, journalists and avid readers. Named in honor of the 1941 P&S graduate, the club offers a forum for the appreciation of literature and life. We invite students, faculty, and literary enthusiasts from the community at large to monthly informal discussions of short stories or poems. We also host and co-host events that promote literature and the arts at P&S. In past years we made trips to the 92nd Street Y for readings by Tom Stoppard and Pat Barker. In conjunction with the Program for Humanities in Medicine, we also have enjoyed readings on campus by writers Junot Diaz, Michael Ondaatje and Richard Selzer.
