Literary Societies.-The Philadelphian Society, organ– ized in 1894, and the Philosophic in 1895, were both displaced by the Orange and Blue Club, organized in 1917. In the autumn of 1923, the former plan of two societies gained in favor and the Philadelphian and Philosophic Societies were revived. Fort– nightly meetings, which are well supported, afford many oppor– tunities for the development of literary, musical, and oratorical talent.
