aw iLife Mtg Philorhetorian Society Motto: X11111f11 flllllCIl ext. tzsfra vtistrti s1111f. Almost half a century ago. through tl1e efforts of General Rawlins, XY. A. llarvey, ulos. B. Chandlers, li. lf. Sheets and Cl1as. Linn, the l'hilorhetorian society came into existence. At tl1e beginning of tl1e organization the member- sl1ip was not held exclusively to the student body, but many wl1o resided i11 the cou11try were held as members. llowever, these did not take part in the actual workings of the society, but i11 elections only, This caused great dissatisfaction among the students, so a new organization was effected Zllltl students Ullly were eligible for admission. The growth of the society from this time has DCCII steady. llowever, at tl1e beginning of this school year. following the organization of tl1e new College society, many of the strong and loyal supporters of l'hilo left her ranks. Nevertheless. we feel sure that we may say for them, that they are proud to say that they once labored beneath tl1e lJ21llllC1' of Philo. Her membership now is made 11p wholly of Academic Students and an active Zlllfl true band tl1ey are, about seventy i11 number. Hut regardless of tl1e work sl1e is 11ow doing, around her cluster many fond and happy memories to those who have completed tl1eir school days and gone forth to meet and cope with tl1e issues of life. From her halls have gone forth me11 and women who are playing their part bravely upon the world's stage, so111e filling very humble positions while others are wielding great power and intluence in both state Hilti nation. It is one of Philois highest ideals to give to those that come tlll1lCf her influence the broadest development possible, both in independent thought and expression. To carry out this plan the st11dent body gather weekly i11to tl1e artistically decorated hall of old l'hilo a11d entertain or are entertained by well-rendered programs. Development Zlllll culture along' many lines are accessible a11d no active student will neglect this very essential part of his educational training. Debating is a11 important feature and every week brings about an interest- ing and lively debate in which 501110 live up-to-date question is ably discussed. However, there is one special debate that demands more than a passing glance. and that is the lnter-Society debate, held with our sister society, the 1Nmphictyon. It has only been in recent years that this idea was promulgated, but now the event is to be held annually. Thus far two live and interesting discussions have been held. Both sides met the issues bravely and well, but Philo has carried off the laurels in both. Oratory is greatly encouraged and tlll'Ollgl1 the generosity of Mr. Chas. H. Sharer, a ten dollar prize in gold is given yearly to the o11e producing the best oration, both in thought and expression. This opportunity is eagerly taken in by the members and many good orations have been given. Also, at the close of the second winter term of each year an lissay an-l Declamation Contest is held. The winners are awarded with a copy of I,owell's or Longfellowls poems. All of these eve11ts greatly assist in making society work prove interesting Zlllfl helpful and the zealous and CllCl'gCtlC student can receive benetit in this way that will afterwards be a great foundation for what comes in after life. Dear old Philo-VVith memories clad, XVell dost thou thy power displays For worry maketh tl1e light heart sad. But thou-thou makest the sad heart gay, VVe visit thee and call to our weary friends, XYho cares, books and problems Hing to the winds: And they shrink away and Hee ill fear iYhen we. to thee our steps draw near.
