19 F:::'(:•.:-:,". 16 PHILOSOPHIC HALL Philosophic Literary Society W ANT of time and lack of space prevents usfrom telling of the past achievements of the Philos- ophic Literary Society. But a brief account of the work of the society for this year will give you a faint idea of what it means to be a member of this society. This year marked a great change in the constitution of the society: hitherto it had been under the direct control of the faculty. This year the faculty ceased to direct but gave the society the privilege of conducting its own affairs. Immediately at the beginning of the col- lege year the society met and drafted such a constitution as was thot would best suit the needs of the society. Following the revision of the constitution a banquet was given to the students, faculty and alumni. The next Monday night the society gave its first program,and at the business meeting which fol- lowed the program twenty new students were received as members of the society. These have heartily and earnestly joined in the performance of the duties which have been imposed upon them. Good programs have been given almost every two weeks thruout the year,closing with two special programs, one consisting of a play, the other of an alumni program. These constitute the principal events of the society year, and to all we extend a hearty welcome to visit us at any time and to remind you that You can make your time worth while If your aims and your ambitions Take the Philosphic style.
