YALE CLUB OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA HISTORY

According to fading memories, our Club started as the Yale Club of Naples in 1966. The small group of founding members, including Fred Farnsworth '24S, Sol Coolidge '24 and  Archie Mudge '23, met regularly in private homes in Port Royal and elected Edward Jones '23 as the first president.
