perhaps the oldest literary society in the nation admits women, and returns to it ' s tradition the revival of lit The Literary Society improved greatly, and increased in size this past year due to one determining factor-females. Out of the 86 members, there were 56 of whom were not males. Pretty good showing for people never admitted to LIT in the almost hundred- year history of the club. Unlike last year, LIT was very active and had many projects going. The Literary magazine, the Oracle, was revived and put out twice before June. There was a debate committee, and it isn ' t necessary to explain what their purpose was, or what they did. The club also put on a play, University , which many club members participated in and made a success. The last major event was the reunion banquet held at the end of the year. Invitations went out to all old members who were still around anywhere, as well as the present members. LIT also played against National Honor Society members in various sporting events. Enough about what LIT did-just keep in mind that most of this would not have been possible if it weren ' t for the addition of 56 female members. They brought a dying club back to life. 24 lit
