The Saturday Club was a group of writers and scientists in around Cambridge and Boston in the mid-nineteenth century who gathered together intermittently for conversation. The group consisted of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Louis Agassiz, William H. Prescott, James Greenleaf Whittier, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Occasional visitors included Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charles Sumner, and John Motley. Holmes played tribute to the club in verse.
