Editing Colonial Club (section)

==== Great War Era ====
After the sinking of the Lusitania, military training became the principal activity on campus. Only a few of the eating clubs remained open during this time. Colonial Club temporarily considered combining with Tiger Inn until the full membership of the various clubs returned to college after the war. Almost the entire 1917 section left college to enter various branches of service, and the entirety of the 1919 section was drafted, leading to the closing of the club. Several club members perished during [[World War I]], including John G. Agar Jr. '14, Joseph M. Duff Jr. '12, Gordon C. Gregory '18, and Samuel F. Pogue '04. Colonial Club's 1920 section managed to revive the club after the war, under the guidance of W. Irving Harris '20 and [[Harvey S. Firestone Jr.]] '20, who later was chairman of the board of the [[Firestone Tire and Rubber Company]].[[File:Colonial Club Houseparties 1938.png|thumb|Colonial Club Houseparties, 1938]]
