The records reveal to us a spirit of loyalty to the high purpose of the organization, which We trust will ever be maintained. The organization of Atheneean took place on November 24, 1876, about two months after the first Opening of the college. Meetings were first held in the college building situated on Blair Lodge. VVhen that building burned in December, 1877, a room Was Secured in the old Academy, and a year later they moved to the present College Hall. 29

It was soon after this that, asa result of a personal quarrel among the members, the Zeta Epsilon Society was formed, an occurrence now regretted by no one, as the rivalry has done much to keep alive an enthusiastic progressive spirit. The young ladies had organized Aletheian a short time previous. In 1887, the present Athenzean Hall was fitted up at consider- able expense, and it still remains as a graceful tribute to the sacri- fices made to obtain it. Athenzean looks with pride upon a large body of loyal alumni, who have made for our society a history of which we may justly be proud. Since leaving college these alumni have met with marked success. Many of them are holding positions of promi- nence in Chicago, while in Lake Forest we are still represented by Prof. A. E. Jack, Prof. H. M. Stanley, Luther Rossiter, Henry Rumsey, David Fales, Jr., A. O., D. H. and VV. F. Jackson, and S. M. Brearley. Since last our chronicles were written, there have passed from this life two of our loyal alumni, Mr. Arthur Somerville Reid and Mr. Charles Osborne Parish. They were model college men, types worthy of emulation. Each was taken from life at the very opening of what promised to be a most successful career. Gne of the happiest events of each year has been the reunion with our alumni. This year it was found impracticable to hold the meeting at the usual time, but plans are on foot which will bring us together at an opportune time. Last year an added zest was given to society work by the Prize Debate arranged by the Commencement Bulletin Co. It is sincerely hoped that this may remain a permanent feature in the life of the school. Our representatives went down in defeat in a debate which spoke well for the work of the societies of Lake Forest College. Regarding Athenaan of today, we can say that there is a spirit of earnest enthusiastic work, exceeding that of any year in the experience of any of the present members. There is, however, no spirit of self-congratulation on present attainments, but rather a desire for still higher standards of work. The new members added this year have brought much to the strength of the society. The meetings have been uniformly interesting and helpful, while the business meetings have afforded profitable parliamentary drill. Nor should we fail to mention the social pleasures which the society has given us. A congenial membership has resulted in harmoni- ous work, with a judicious mixture of sport. VVe feel sure that in after years no memories will be dearer than those of the profitable and happy hours which we had spent in old Athenaean. 30
