I. Wyman Drummond

In what are nowadays described as the old days of the Century, Isaac Wyman Drummond was a familiar figure. At the dining-table his invariable place was with that junto of convivial spirits, George Greene, Dr. Austin Flint and Beverly Chew, whose presence always gave to the Club a flavor of its own. In the billiard-room Dr. Drummond, who was a skilful player, regularly matched cues in the straight game with Dr. Flint or else engaged in “cow-boy pool” with Greene, Theodore Cooper, Charles R. Miller and Dr. Daniel Stimson. Merely to recite the names is to call up a vision of the Club-house past. Like his affiliates of dining-room and billiard-table, Drummond was in everyday life a citizen of personal distinction and original avocations. In his case the hobbies were chemistry and artistic study. In the one field he was a pupil of Charles F. Chandler, and was full of vivid memories of that master; in the other, his unusual scope of interest was indicated by the title which he earned, of research associate in antique jade and amber for the American Museum.
