38 THE HACK tlbm' Eiterztrg Svnrivtiva and the one whose secrets have been most carefully guarded are the Eleusinian Mysteries certain sacred rites connected with the Greek religion, celebrated late in September and early in October in the ancient town of Eleusis in Attica. So far as can be ascertained the 2. 1 ll F candidate who was considered worthy of admission, was escorted ROBABLY the most revered, of the ancient mystical forms of worship, X -Y . . . , . . . :x . . . . - through a series of dark and confused passages, beset by terrifying sights and sounds but was led at last into the light. Then, by a most solemn oath they promised not to divulge what they had seen or heard. After this they enjoyed the knowledge of those who know and seef' Our four Societies are in striking contrast with these Mysteries. Our initiatory services also occur early in October and, while not in exact conformity with these ancient rites, nevertheless, it is understood that the candidate passes through the most mysterious ceremonies, consisting of spectacular symbols and solemn rites, designed to impress the trembling victim with the.tortuous path of life, with its many perils, trials and disturbing elements through which one may go and come out safely into the light and joy of a happy fellowship of dear companions, who will assist in striving after the high ideal and true standard of a successful life. We too are bound by most stringent oaths to maintain in absolute secrecy all that may transpire in our initation work and meetings. Of the four present Literary Societies, two were founded shortly after the opening of the school in 1874. These were the Dioksophian, an organization for the young ladies, and Whitney Lyceum, formed by the young men. 'Six years after, on account of the increased number of students in the school, and in order to secure better results, it was considered advisable to form two more societies to correspond to the two already existing. Therefore, in l88O, the Peithosophian Society, among the young ladies, and the Philomathean Fra- ternity, among the young men, were established. The Philomathean, however, later became the Zeta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Fraternity. These organizations stand strongly for the highest and noblest sentiments, for the development of executive ability, for the advantages of public speaking and literary pursuits, and weld their members in an indissoluble bond of love and fellowship. They are now in a prosperous condition. All have delightful and well equipped halls in which to hold their meetings. The fondest recollections of students leav- ing the school are these assemblies, where so many happy and profitable hours are spent.
