In the Fall of 1926 we refused an invitation to merge with the Philadelphian Society, because we were fearful ot the possible lack of interest on the part of some of our societys most active members. We have always had peppy, interesting meetings. The programs consist of the study of literary groups, current topics of the day, the lives and achievements of historical leaders, as well as debates, essays, readings, and musical nutnbers selected to correspond to the central theme of the meetings. Though ever striving to attain a'four-fold development in our college life, our society has not overlooked the need of social activities. Many interesting as well as highly entertaining evenings have been spent at the homes of the various members of the society. Will we ever forget the spreads served following regular meetings, or the parties when the social committee had full sway? No, I think not. That same spirit of being up and doing, which is so characteristic of the Philosophies in their work, is not to be found lacking in their play. "Be a clean sport" is part of our motto in life.
