RG 046 Sorosis Literary Society (Oregon Agricultural College) Sorosis Literary Society Records 1895-1912 0.05 cubic ft. 1 microfilm reel The Sorosis Literary Society Records document the activities of this organization of women students at Oregon Agricultural College. Materials in English. Historical Note:

The Sorosis Literary Society was established on November 15, 1895, for female students of Oregon Agricultural College. The society's programs, often done with another society, included dramatic and comedy performances, recitation, and vocal and instrumental music. The society adopted royal purple as its color. The Sorosis Literary Society probably disbanded during the 1912/13 school year, when the college's literary society structure was reorganized.

Materials pertain to the organization, administration, and activities of the society. All records are in both paper and microfilm formats. On film, numbered pages may not be consecutive as blank pages were not filmed.
