T e Co 7crsea ? Philo JORTY-THREE years have gone by since the founding of Philo- mathean. F rty-three times has she sent out into the world her sons and daughters, who have proved themselves an honor to her name and an honor to the institution. God has given man a faculty whereby we distinguish him from all other animals, that is the faculty of speech. From the earliest period of human life, down to our present era, man has endeavored to draw forth the beauty of the mind by developing this faculty so as to express thoughts in the most pleasing and harmonious manner. The Philomathcan Lterary Society was organized to develop the natural ability of speaking and to cultivate oratory. With stern discipline she has trained her members to be fluent speakers, and masters in parliamentary law. Most fittingly did the founders of Philo choose for her motto Energy wins over Fate. This motto has added a great deal to her success. All indications point to a bright future for the society. With a glorious past, a brilliant present, and an ambi- tious group of students with their watchword Energy wins over Fate, ever before them ' tis needless to add that a still more glorious future awaits Philo- mathean.
