Programs of meetings which were held bi-weekly at the Cavendish Hall throughout the fall and winter months included lectures, debates, concerts, and social evenings. Some topics addressed were prohibition, country life vs. city life, abolition of capital punishment, enfranchisement of women, etc. The last recorded meeting of the Cavendish Literary Society was held on 7 January 1924.
