The Hasty Pudding Club, often referred to simply as the Pudding, is a social club at Harvard University, and one of three sub-organizations that comprise the Hasty Pudding - Institute of 1770.[2] The club's motto, Concordia Discors (discordant harmony), derives from the epistles of the Latin poet Horace.[3]
The year of founding for the club is usually given as 1795, when a group of undergraduates came together "to cherish feelings of friendship and patriotism,"[4] or as 1770, the founding year for the Institute of 1770, an organization that the Pudding absorbed in 1924.[5] By way of this amalgamation, the Pudding claims to be the oldest collegiate social club in the United States.[6]
Historically, the club has been noted for its "prestigious" reputation and viewed as "the first step towards final club membership."[7][8] An 1870 travel book listed the Hasty Pudding Club and the Porcellian Club as "the two lions of Harvard."[9]
