The most colourful of all clubs was probably the Men's Club, the Haeremal Club. It was founded in 1918, went into retirement in 1925, wus revived between 1927 and 1935, and made a brief reappearance about 1939.

"Wit, hilarity and good fellowship" were the passwords of the club, and its tastes ran in the direction of smokos, riotous theatre parties. Capping processions, the fostering of highly Individual versions of whatever hakas the club could lay hand—and foot and voice—to and a genuine promotion of College life. Pledged to nurture the tender flower of College spirit, the Haeremal Club went further than similar organisations such as the Victoria Club (1927), the Progressive Club (1944) and Weir House, and served as an excuse for conviviality and a hell of a good time generally.
