Philosophian Literary Society The Philosophian Literary Society occupies an important place in the Yvingate School because of its high ideals and lofty airs, Philo- sophian meaning lovers of wisdom. Wye are proud of our excel- lent hall, provided by the trustees of the XVingate School, and furnished by boys who are members of this society. The hall has been improved from time to time, and plans have been made for much more improvement this year. This is a secret organization, and the password word, Sequi,'7 can be seen on the banner of the door. Tn Latin it means to follow, but to a Philosophian it means far more than that. The secret meaning has been duly kept and reverenced by all its members. To know it is a reward. The society receives the co-operation of its members, which means success to any organization. This society reveals to each new man the importance of society work and otfers him every opportunity to develop into a Demos- thcnes. He is made to feel that he is a part. of the o1'ganization. Thcxprograms consist of current events, declamations, extempo- raneous speeches and debates. The oflicers of this society are elected quarterly, and consist of president, vice-president, secretary, censor, treasurer, critic, sexton and chaplain. Our aim is to impart a knowledge of parliamentary law, to cultivate and direct a desire for reading, and to form a correct habit of public speaking. The faculty regards this as an important aid in the work of education and in the preservation of wholesome ideals among the students. As an inducement to its members, the society otfers two gold medals annually, one to be given Christmas, and the other Com- mencement, for the most improvement in society work. The societies unite in giving public debates. Each society furnishes one atiirnia- tive and one negative debater for the debates given in the fall and spring, but there being a medal at stake for the best debatcr Com- mencement, the societies debate against each other, the honors of which have been about equally divided. The friendly rivalry in debating contests, and on the athletic field, causes its members to exercise every possible means to be pre-eminent in strength, both in society work and gymnasium sports. .yy -J..
