Literary Societies of the State Normal School hold semi-annual exercises. The program included prayers, essays, music, oration, and an address from a clergyman. This is the first record of a literary society at the school. At the time two societies for males existed, the Excelsior Society and the Independent Association. No mention of a women’s literary society appears until the early 1870s.
