University Cottage Club, Private social club at Princeton University, New Jersey.

The Georgian Revival clubhouse features a formal dining room, library, and hallways decorated with oak panels and historical photographs.

The club began in 1884 when students gathered in a private dining room at Dohm's Restaurant before establishing their permanent location in 1906.

The club's library, modeled after Merton College at Oxford University, contains the workspace where F. Scott Fitzgerald started writing This Side of Paradise.

The Glinka Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to students who need support to participate in club activities and membership.

Three fireplaces in the dining area display Latin inscriptions, including 'Ubi Amici Ibidem Sunt Opes' meaning 'Where there are friends there are riches'.
