Administrative history

In June of 1913, a small notice inserted by F. Grinnell, Jr. in a Los Angeles daily newspaper, stated that a meeting of boys interested in natural history was to be held in the home of Harold Strawn in Los Angeles and that "all boys interested in natural history were welcome to attend."

Grinnell along with Harold Strawn and Paul Ruthling attended the meeting.

A constitution committee was appointed in August of that same year consisting of Ralph Church, Rutherford D. Moore, and Paul Ruthling. The Club's constitution was adopted by a group of "ten boys" who elected officers and proceeded to be known ast the Lorquin Natural History Club. The Club was limited to twenty active members.

Regular meetings were held the first Friday of every month. In 1914, after the opening of the Southwest Museum, Hector Alliot offered the Club a space for their meetings.

The Club published the journal Lorquinia from 1916-1919.

In the latter part of the 20th Century, the club was renamed to the Lorquin Entomological Society.
