Student Organizations
This list contains student organizations appearing in the Cornellian yearbook from 1870 to 1982. The years listed are only those years that the organization is listed in the yearbook. Years correspond to the graduation year for each yearbook. Therefore, 1870 signifies the yearbook for 1869-1870.
This list is not intended to be a complete list or timeline of organizations. It merely serves as a starting point for determining when certain organizations were most prevalent on campus.
The word "Cornell" has been removed from the beginning of the names, so organizations such as the "Cornell Glee Club" are listed as "Glee Club."
