Extracurricular Activities – Activity Planning Boards
Description
The first formal student organizations on Davidson’s campus were the Philanthropic and Eumenean Literary Societies founded within months of the college’s opening. Along with providing students opportunities to debeate and practice public speaking, the literary societies helped organize events around commencements and supported the first student publications. As the 19th century turned into the 20th, students began to organize additional clubs and societies around shared interests and desires for more social activities. With the increasing number of student groups came an interest and need to provide coordination and in some cases regulations for them.
