Triangle Club
Active in McCarter Theatre
Amory found that writing for the Nassau Literary Magazine would get him nothing, but that being on the board of the Daily Princetonian would get any one a good deal. His vague desire to do immortal acting with the English Dramatic Association faded out when he found that the most ingenious brains and talents were concentrated upon the Triangle Club, a musical comedy organization that every year took a great Christmas trip
In the meanwhile, feeling strangely alone and restless in Commons, with new desires and ambitions stirring in his mind, he let the first term go by between an envy of the embryo successes and a puzzled fretting with Kerry as to why they were not accepted immediately among the elite of the class.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Founded in 1891, the Triangle Club is one of the oldest college theater companies in the U.S. and the longest-running touring college musical theater company. Each year it premieres an original comedy musical, written and performed by students and directed and choreographed by professionals. Its home was in the old Casino, which was destroyed by fire in 1924. The McCarter Theatre was built on the site, and the club moved there in 1930.
