A commons club is a type of social organization whose membership is "open" rather than selective based on personal introduction
and invitation. It may also refer to the lodge or other meeting facility associated with such a club and used for its activities.
Usually, commons club refers to a type of men's social organization which flourished at institutions of higher education in
North America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
