Administrative history

The Waverly Literary Society was organized in 1912. They received their name from Sir Walter Scott's "Waverly Novels" and originally began studying these novels. The society also studied poems, mythology, short stories, and opera. Over the years, the society evolved into providing social activities for women. The last mention is from the January 31, 1947 issue of the Chronicle that notes the Waverly Literary Society had disbanded.
