History[edit | edit source]
The Cap and Gown Club was established in 1890 by a group of Princeton students who sought to create a club that emphasized both social and intellectual pursuits. The club's name reflects its founders' aspirations to combine the academic ("cap") and social ("gown") aspects of university life.

The club's building, located on Prospect Avenue, is an example of Collegiate Gothic architecture, a style that is prevalent on the Princeton campus. The building features a grand dining hall, a library, and various social rooms for its members.
Membership[edit | edit source]
Membership in the Cap and Gown Club is highly sought after and is typically determined through a selective process known as "bicker." During bicker, prospective members participate in a series of interviews and social events to determine their fit with the club's community.
