Cornell literary societies
The west front of Andrew Dickson White Hall which housed Society Hall, the main meeting room for Cornell University's literary societies in the 19th century. Society Hall was on the ground floor, three windows to the left of the main door.

Cornell literary societies were a group of 19th-century student organizations at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, formed for the purpose of promoting language skills and oratory. The U.S. Bureau of Education described three of them as a "purely literary society" following the "traditions of the old literary societies of Eastern universities."[1] At their peak, the literary societies met in a room called "Society Hall," located within North University (now White Hall).[2]
