The Eucleian Society is a student literary society begun at New York University in 1832.[1] According to New York University records, it ceased to exist around the 1940s; however, it was revived in 2017.[1][2]
The society was dedicated to furthering the literary arts. Members held hour-long debates, preceded by readings of essays, orations, and poems. The Eucleian Society published orations and poems delivered by guest speakers at annual or anniversary meetings. In the 20th century, the Eucleians published three literary magazines: The Knickerbocker, The Medley, and The Geyser.[1]
