 The University Club, in the same predicament at the time, voted to not comply with the law, leaving the city to enforce it.Members were divided on the issue, as some found that the convening of "authors, artists and amateurs" would not change with the admittance of women; others determined "delightful difference of the sexes" was a benefit not to be eliminated by what was deemed a "fashionable whim".Women first were admitted as members to the club in 1988, after further contentious debates.
