The Club was founded on the 21st October 1921, under the inspiration of the Dean, the Reverend Joseph Wellington Hunkin. The Rules stated that the club should be comprised of between 20 - 30 undergraduate members and Honorary members elected from the postgraduates and Fellows. The Club was managed by a President, Vice President who also acted as Treasurer, a Secretary and a Committee of two, elected at the beginning of each term by the General Meeting of the Club. It claimed to be responsible for the organisation of 'comic relief' in the College and endeavoured to produce at least one public performance a term.

The Caius Club was founded in 1906 as an association of old Caians. Its purpose was to keep members of the College in touch with one another by means of an address list and an annual dinner. The Club arose from a proposal made at the Annual London dinner of Caians in July 1906, made by Harold Claughton Scott, secretary of that dinner. The membership of the Club is open to Caians who choose to subscribe, rather than being constituted of the whole body of alumni.

The Bastards were a group of six Caians, H.C. Luttman, A.G. Cross, G.C.D. Roberts, N.H. Roberts, F.L. Freeman, and R.N. Stott, who met through punt-racing, and established an initiation ceremony of sipping alcohol through a straw. After leaving Caius they met for annual reunions at which group photographs were taken.
