Union Literary Society
Biography
Centenary College of Louisiana’s Union Literary Society formed in 1842. This organization (and Centenary’s other literary society, the Franklin Institute) were described in the college’s course catalog dated 1845-1846: “These [societies] are of great utility to young men acquiring a liberal education — improving them in the art of public speaking, making them in some degree familiar with the proceedings of deliberative bodies, and cultivating systematic business habits. Each has a convenient hall and well selected library.”
