to the next, the loyal members redefined and revised their aims and 
     
     objectives and added new areas of concern. In the early years of Scottish 
     
     residence on the Island, a formal society was needed to provide social 
     
     diversion for the pioneers; the clanship could well exist on its own. Later, 
     
     special service programs were added (namely, assistance to settlers and 
     
     educational reform) to allow the residents the opportunity to help their 
     
     compatriots. Then, as the value of these assigned services lessened, 
     
     another plan took their place — a plan to keep alive or (in the case of the 
     
     National Games) to reawaken the interest of Scottish Islanders in their 
     
     culture and their heritage. By 1863, Scots might no longer have gathered 
     
     to maintain optimisms and dreams amidst the hardships and labours of a 
     
     new, uncivilized world. Yet, they did meet to hold on to one another as 
     
     kinsmen, and in so doing hold also onto their heritage as Scots. 
     
    

    
     The Caledonian Club was formed, basically, to give colour, 
     
     vitality, and animation to Island Scottish associations. As will be 
     
     evidenced, it has, for the most part, succeeded.
