Founded in 1768 as a literary and debating society that encompassed nearly half the student body at its 19th-century peak, the group disbanded in the late 1870s after donating its collection of books to help form Yale's central library. </p><p>It was revived in 2021 as a literary and debating society by members of the senior class and alumni.
