Loemker, Herman J., 1868-1937

17 men, all dressed in similar dark suits and caps, are pictured standing one behind another, with their heads turned toward the camera and hands placed on the shoulders of the man in front of them. Peters Commons (see LO 097) is in the background. Dubuque College is now known as the University of Dubuque. According to information located in the University of Dubuque Archives, the 13 Club was started by thirteen students in 1915 as a Christian fraternity. Their mission was to promote Christian fellowship and brotherhood. Originally the organization was called the “A.D.P.” The name was later changed to the “13 Club,” and is currently known as the “Thirteeners.”
