Melbourne Savage Club : ウィキペディア英語版 | Melbourne Savage Club Melbourne Savage Club is a private Australian gentlemen's club founded in 1894. Bohemian in spirit, the club was to bring together literary men, and those immediately connected or sympathising with literature, the arts, sport or science. Its membership is particularly secretive with a strong code of silence; members are traditionally the elite or 'savages' in the arts, business and politics. Travelling savages enjoy good fellowship through reciprocal arrangements with other private clubs throughout the world. ==History== The Melbourne Savage Club, a gentlemen's club, was founded in 1894.〔(Melbourne Savage Club: Welcome to the Melbourne Savage Club )〕〔Lawrence Money, (The ace of clubs ), ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 18 April 2012〕 Like the London-based Savage Club, established in 1857, it was named after Richard Savage (1697-1743), an English poet.〔〔 Dr. Harvey E. Astles was the first President of the Melbourne Savage Club. In 1915, Hans Heysen donated a painting to the club.〔(Peter Monteath (ed.), ''Germans'', Wakefield Press, p. 406 )〕 Sir Robert Menzies, longtime Prime Minister of Australia, served as its President from 1947 to 1962.〔〔Allan William Martin, Patsy Hardy, ''Robert Mezies: A Life'', Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, 1993, p. 84〕 The club incorporated the Yorick Club (with which it had a long and cordial rivalry, including regular cricket matches) in 1966.〔("Inter-club Cricket" ''The Argus'' 13 December 1924 p.25 )〕 Hubert T. Frederico, QC, was President from 1974 to 1977.〔http://www.daao.org.au/main/read/3285〕 In 2012, the President was Robert Heathcote.〔 Although an organisation with the primary aim of members providing their own entertainment, it regularly participates in philanthropic activities. A pair of oil paintings "The Crucifixion" and "The Annunciation" by Club member Napier Waller were presented to All Saints Church in Geelong in 1929.〔("Paintings for Geelong Church" ''The Argus'' 28 February 1929 p.5 )〕 Social events were organised with charitable and patriotic causes as beneficiaries.〔("For the Wounded" ''The Argus'' 16 Dec 1915 p.15 )〕
