[[File:Colonial Club First Clubhouse.png|thumb|Colonial Club's first clubhouse, 1891–1892.]]Founded in 1891 under the presidency of H.P. 'Bert' Fisher '93, the club was formed by a group of 13 Princeton University juniors, who originally called themselves the "Plug and Ulster Club." The club's founders initially encountered opposition by the president of the college, Reverend [[Francis Landey Patton|Francis L. Patton]], who opposed to the establishment of a boy's club adjacent to [[Evelyn College for Women|Evelyn College]], Princeton's coordinate women's college. After agreeing to several provisions, Colonial Club was founded and situated itself in an old Virginian, three-story veranda house. The original section consisted of several notable students including Booth Tarkington, founder of the [[Princeton Triangle Club]]. The club later was formerly incorporated in 1896 as '''The''' '''Colonial Club of Princeton University'''.
