Biographical History
Organized in 1845, Linné Lyceum was one of the earliest extra-curricula clubs at Lafayette College. Dedicated to the promotion of the natural sciences, the group was named in honor of the celebrated Swedish botanist, Karl von Linné. Washington McCartney, professor of mathematics, natural philosophy, and astronomy, was its sponsor. The lyceum held their meetings in Prayer Hall above the old Model School. Members lectured on topics including mineralogy, geology, and botany.
