Shrub ui the jlltlinnesnta literary Qucietp At the School of Agriculture on Feb. 9, 1905, a meeting was held for the purpose of forming a new literary society for boys only. At this meeting Mr. C. H. Bailey was chosen president of the new society and the name adopted for the society was 'fMinnesota Literary Society. The purpose of this society was to give the boys a chance to become more familiar with parliamentary rules and how to conduct assemblies where such knowledge would be of great value to them. It also aimed to awaken an interest in public affairs and familiarize its members with different forms of government. Through graduation there were but few of the original members left on the opening of the new school year. Therefore, in order to bring the society to a greater state of efficiency, those few resolved to re-organize the society. A meeting for this purpose was held Oct. 26, 1905, in Pendergast Hall. At this meeting Mr. Geo. Mielke was elected president, a few changes and amendments were made to the constitution and the society placed on a firm basis. Because of the limited knowledge Cat that timej concerning the work, the Minnesota Literary Society was trying to do, little was thought that it would become such a factor in school life. In the spring of 1906, under the presidency of Mr. J. E. Overlie, the society began to show what might be expected of it in the future. - Since then its progress has been rapid, until today with its 50 members it stands among leaders of the different literary societies on the Campus, thanks to the careful building of its founders. To its founders, and to those who led it through its struggles for existence, the Minnesota Literary Society is ever thankful. Page Fzflyjive
