Administrative history

The Cavendish Literary Society was established on 19 February 1886 for the "mutual improvement of its members through lectures, debates, and the establishment and maintenance of a circulating library". Programs of meetings which were held bi-weekly at the Cavendish Hall throughout the fall and winter months included lectures, debates, concerts, and social evenings. Some topics addressed were prohibition, country life vs. city life, abolition of capital punishment, enfranchisement of women, etc. The last recorded meeting of the Cavendish Literary Society was held on 7 January 1924.

Custodial history

The original minute book was removed from the Cavendish Hall before it was torn down early in 1960.
