Historical Note
The Natural History Society was formed in 1872 and membership included students and faculty. The Society formed its own library and museum. The Society was made up of various sections that studied branches of natural history field, such as zoology or botany. The Society disbanded in 1903 due in part to the formation of more specialized clubs.
