The Calliopean Society, one of New York City's earliest and most enduring literary clubs, was formed in November 1788 "for the express purpose of improving Education." In September 1789, the Society passed a resolution that members should wear an identifying medal. William Paulding, Jr. (1770-1854), a young law student, joined the Calliopean Society on September 1, 1789, and immediately became one of its most active members. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives, served as a brigadier general in the state militia during the War of 1812, and presided as mayor of New York (1824-1825 and 1826-1829). Paulding's Calliopean Society medal is the only example known to survive.

William Paulding, Jr. (1770-1854); descent unknown; donated by Frederic De Peyster (1796-1882) in 1880.
