Biographical/Historical	The Stanford Eating Clubs, also known as the Toyon Eating Clubs, were founded in 1892. They were originally formed by congenial bands of like-minded men who were unhappy with the food and service offered by the University-sponsored Stanford Inn. Tn 1894, the first Club — Brookfarm Eating Club — was founded. In 1907 several of the Clubs with houses in College Terrace — Snell, Welakahao, Marchmount, and Entre Nous — banded together to form the Terrace Club. With one exception, these Clubs all subsequently disbanded. Entre Nous, however, founded in 1901, became the first of the seven surviving Clubs. The name was changed to Los Arcos in 1922. In 1909, Breakers Club was organized. El Campo and El Toro were also founded in these early years of the century. In the fall of 1912, the "Little Quad" was completed and Breakers, El Campo, and El Toro moved into a small U-shaped building next to Encina Hall. The eating clubs were abolished in 2009-2010.
