Literary Society
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my
education."
Mark
Twain
US humorist, novelist, short story author, & wit (1835
- 1910)
"I was working on the proof of one of my poems
all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put
it back again."
Oscar
Wilde
Irish dramatist, novelist, & poet (1854 - 1900)
Literary Society's focus is to provide a release
from academic stress and pressures through activities, bring
together students who have similar interests, provide moral
support, and learn about opportunities in the English field.
And we are always ready to have a good time.
Members typically meet to set up activities twice a month
in the 2nd floor student lounge. At other times, members can
be found studying, engaging in deep conversation, or sleeping
on the sofas in the lounge. Literary Society members often
leave messages on the lounge chalkboard for fellow students;
many Literary Society members joke that they live in the lounge
more than at their homes.
Activities include:
- Attending the Guthrie Theater
- Pizza and Movie Nights
- Field trips to regional areas of interest
- Parties involving food and heavy or light
conversation,
- Cook-outs at the park and the beach
- Literary Lunch
- Promoting English-related campus activities
Though our name may suggest
that we sit around spouting Shakespearean sonnets and lines of great
literary worth, we do not. Our daily routine is saturated with literature
, so we chose not to add any more to it in a social scene... Though,
there is nothing stopping anyone from doing so!
