S1 Q- ' NNN if a The Qhelphian Qssutiatiun ln 1886, the Adelphian Association came into being for the purpose of perfect- ing the ability of public speaking, recitation, oratory, and public self-confidence of its members, also to promote the spirit of friendship, as is shown in the Greek name Adelphia, which means brotherly love. The officers consist of a president, elected at the last meeting of each term, who presides over the meetings, the vice president, elected for the same length of time, who acts as chairman in the absence of the president, and the editor, who writes society news for a column in the Starkey Seminary lVIonthly. The editor retains his office for a year. The president appoints a cabinet consisting of a literary director, a music director, a treasurer, and a secretary. Every other week, the Society holds a meeting in the chapel. Here, on the platform, members of our number entertain their Adelphian brothers with well selected readings, recitations, carefully prepared orations, articles, and written matter. liach member not only provides pleasing entertainment for his brother, but trains himself in the art of speaking intelligently, coherently, forcefully, and interestingly, to an audience, thereby gaining poise and self assu1'ance. lVIusical selections written by the finer composers are rendered, making the programme more pleasurable and promoting the proficiency of the players. The Friday after a chapel assemblage, a small room meeting is held in one of the class rooms. These meetings generally consist of extemporaneous speeches which are exceedingly benehcial in sharpening the wits and preparing the mind for quick, clear and decisive thinking, and perfecting the ability of the speaker to marshall his arguments at a moment's notice and give a lucid, concise and compact discourse. Sometimes these meetings consist of mock trial, parliamentary law, cipher or spelling matches. This year, we voted to have a faculty critic, and since then our meetings have improved, guided by the helpful criticisms of our faculty friend. The Emersonian Literary Society was formed a few years earlier than this Association. Between the two groups a friendly rivalry exists, which stimulates each association to higher efforts. Several times a year, joint meetings are held, present- ing the best talent of each society. Last year in a debating contest, we took the laurels. Athletics are observed to some extent. lntersociety basketball games are held and each June there is a track meet in which each association tries to outrival the other in prowess. Last year the Adelphians held the honors in relay racing. This year's meet is yet to be conquered, and we hope to have the same success. It is an unwritten law that any Adelphian, in after life, may expect brotherly help from his fellow members. The Association corresponds with the college fraternity. Thirty-four I
