The Public Schools' Club aspires to promote what Dr Samuel Johnson in 1783 referred to as “clubbability”. An anecdote recorded in the same year by James Boswell, a friend of Johnson, explains the meaning of the term thus "Johnson declared I should be a member, and invented a word upon the occasion" Johnson said of Boswell "He is a very clubbable man, his liveliness and good nature, his passion for good company and friendship, his sympathy and amiability made him acceptable everywhere".
