The Society meets in the winter, spring and fall each year. These are dinner meetings, usually held in Harper Dining Center and members and guests are inspired and entertained by distinguished speakers on a variety of subjects related to Johnson, his friends and 18th century England. Known as the Clifford Collection, this facility is available to students, scholars and patrons. It has been pointed out that Samuel Johnson has fascinated more people than any other writer. He was included in a recent list of the 50 most popular and influential people in British history in the last 1,000 years.
Membership is open to anyone interested in the topics.
