Waldo Walnut Society, Invitations to Speak, 1962

 unspecified — Box: 11, Folder: 344

Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

This series consists of materials relating to the Culture Vulture, a nightspot similar to the College of Complexes, which Brundage operated from late 1961 until 1962. Because of the Culture Vulture’s short life there are far fewer documents contained within this series than in the previous series relating to the College of Complexes. Documents relating to Brundage’s dispute with Theodore Zimmerman over the ownership and operation of the Culture Vulture are located in Series 6 (Legal Matters).

The Waldo Walnut Society was a tongue-in-cheek organization formed by Brundage during the period when he operated the Culture Vulture which he described as a “poor man’s John Birch Society” of “200 percent Americans” who “hate everybody.”
