7 ie Co ?crsecr 7 Clionian History |N THE year 1871 the Clionian Literary Society was established in the California Normal School in Room M. It started with a mem- bership of twenty-five strong, faithful workers. They chose for their motto, Aut Vincere, aut Morte : Either Victory or Death. This standard has been maintained for 46 years, each year ' s work becoming stronger and more vital to each of her sons and daughters. She has sent from her halls, silver-toned orators, men wh o have helped make the laws of our State and Nation, men who have carried the gospel in far countries. Some have passed into the beautiful Beyond, while others are still spreading the teachings of Clio. Many of these owe their success in their professions to the training received under the waving banner of Blue and Gold. When we have gone out into the world to practice our professions, no matter to what distant state we may wander; whether on land or sea, her. teachings will always be before us. Clio was the first society to be organized in the Normal, and she will be the last to fall. When the stones of Old Main have fallen one upon another, over the ruins in the azure blue of the sky will be CLIO. 104
