Meetings were held during the first month of school, and have been held regularly every two weeks during both semesters. We feel that this regularity of meetings has been one of the most outstanding factors in the success of the society this year. Not wishing to have too large a society (for there is not always strength in numbers), we chose as new members, only those Freshmen who we thought would be of help in our society, by upholding the standards of a real Philadel- phian; and after this year's work, we can say that we chose well. The co-opera- tion which the new members have given has been splendid; and this has been another one of the many factors contributing to our success. We, who have guided the destinies of the Philadelphians this year, felt that there were certain standards to which a society should attain, in order to be worthy of the name of a college literary. Throughout the whole year it has been our work to try to lead the society to the attainment of these standards.
