The University Pitt Club, popularly referred to as the Pitt Club was founded in 1835 and named in honour of William Pitt the Younger, who had been a student at Pembroke College, Cambridge. It is now only open to male students at the University of Cambridge. In the past, most of its membership attended certain public schools, however this is no longer a criterion for membership, and some members are now drawn from minor public schools. The Club has premises at 7a Jesus Lane, which was originally designed as Victorian Roman Baths in 1863 by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt. ( Details taken from Wikipedia)
