The Cresson Literary Society was founded in March 1859 after the formation of the Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania (now Pennsylvania State University). The members engaged in debates, essay and declamation writing, and orations with its campus rival, the Washington Agricultural Literary Society. With the rise of fraternities and a more diversified student life, the society declined until it dissolved in June 1895.
