History
From the history by Charles E. Raven in The Cambridge Review October 12, 1957: the Society was founded "first as the Cambridge Entomological Society; then (in the 'eighties) as the Entomological Society and Field Naturalists' Club; and finally, after much debate, in 1892 as the Entomological and Natural History Society."
