The Bystander (24 april 1934, p. 148)

We hear that a Society has been founded to commemorate, in a couple of dinners annually, the fame of the immortal Sherlock. The members will discuss at these dinners such abstruse points as the second name of John H. Watson, M.D.; whether Holmes was at Oxford or Cambridge (there is a strong school which favours Edinburgh University); did Moriarty actually exist?; where is the Saxe-Coburg Square from which the Red-Headed League collected its only member? And so on. The Sherlock Holmes Society, appropriately, is to hold its meetings in Baker Street.
