APOLOGY
This volume is intended primarily for the members of the Philomathean Society — Senior, Junior, Nominal and Honorary. To those of our alumni who by their generosity have made pos- sible the publication of this book, the editors desire, in behalf of the Society, to extend their most sincere thanks — not only to those whose financial contributions have been so liberal, but also to those who have aided the editors with information which has been of inestimable value in remedying the few defects in the Society 's records. The minute books are complete save for the years 1824-36, and this want is supplied by other records such as "Reviews," catalogues of officers, publications, and the "Recorder's Roll." Signing the "Recorder's Roll" is part of the initiation ceremony to this day, and the venerable volume contains the signature of every man who has been a member of Philo.
In presenting this work the editors are aware of its many defects, but they beg the indulgence of the reader, calling atten- tion to the fact that they have been hampered by their ignorance as amateurs, and by the inaccessibility of the desired informa- tion. Every fact of history in this volume has been as far as possible tested by the records of the Society and the memories of the alumni. Corroboration of details has been no small part of the work. Every living member of the Society has been communicated with at least twice during the past eighteen months; some more than twice; for those who were prominent during Junior membership already know well how often the editors have bothered them. Therefore, the editors hope the Senior members will overlook the faults of the volume, and
will recognize that every effort has been made to render it as complete and accurate as circumstances allow.
To those who are not members of Philo, the editors offer their work as a memorial of the one hundred years* unbroken existence of the Society, and as a testimony that Philo has always done her duty by her sons.

ADDRESS ON THE HISTORY OF THE PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY
BY EDWARD P. CHEYNEY, '83
"Little of all we value here Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year Without both feeling and looking queer."
So said Oliver Wendell Holmes: but he was thinking of things, or of individual people, not of associations. Organized societies do not necessarily grow old. Men grow old, but man remains ever young. So it is with Philo. Though in existence for a hundred years she is still young, young with the youth of perpetual rejuvenation. Every year there is an influx of new and youthful blood. It is true that these new men grow old, in a college sense; and wearied with the course of four long, laborious and eventful years, their shoulders bowed with the weight of office, their brows clouded with the perplexities of policy, and their minds exhausted by the unsolved problems of many a long discussion, they lay aside the responsibility of their official duties and suspend their more or less regular attendance. But there is always a new generation ready, the officers' chairs do not remain empty and the rostrum never relapses into silence.
This being so, it is not my duty as biographer to describe the youth, the manhood, the inevitable senescence and the growing decrepitude of a human career, nor as historian to trace the rise, the greatness, the decline and fall of a nation, but to put before you in a few words the conditions under which this old yet young society came into existence, to call attention to a few salient points of its subsequent career, and to describe some of its trans-
21
formations in the perpetual process of adaptation to changed surroundings which is the necessary condition of all life.
The Philomathean Society was established in the year 1813, as the fact that we are now celebrating its centennial indi- cates. There is still in our hands the sheet of paper containing the declaration of organization and the promise to support the Constitution signed by the thirteen original members of the Society on the 2d of October of that year. The preliminary arrangements had been previously made and the consent of the new Provost, Dr. Frederick Beasley, obtained. The approval of the Board of Trustees is recorded on their minutes of the 23d of November. It is as follows: "The Board sanctions the institution of a Literary Society, to consist of the students and Alumni of the University or such of them as shall be admitted members thereof, and a suitable room shall be appropriated to their use." These thirteen founders seem to have been the whole senior class of the College. It was the day of small things. We were a nation of only six million people. There were then scarcely more inhabitants in the whole State of Pennsylvania than there are now in West Philadelphia. There were but three members of the Faculty: a Professor of Moral Philosophy, a Professor of Languages and a Professor of Mathematics. The college course was but three years in length. Many of the students when they entered were between thirteen and fourteen years of age, most of them just above fourteen. The early laws of the Society placed fifteen years as the lowest limit for membership into its mature ranks, and it was difficult to preserve this standard of age. It was seldom that any class numbered more than a dozen, still more seldom that the whole College numbered more than fifty. The thirteen seniors who founded the Society were therefore probably about a quarter of the whole number of students in college and were about seventeen years of age, a year younger than the average freshman of the present time.
22
The rooms which were granted to the new Society were better than the lofty and airy and quiet but far from sumptuous quarters the Society now occupies. The building in which the University was then housed was the handsome structure described in the old prints as the "President's House." It was the first "White House." It stood on the west side of Ninth Street where the Post Office building now stands, midway between Market and Chestnut Streets. It was surrounded by open stretches of land extending almost unbroken to the Schuylkill. When Philadelphia had been chosen, for the time, as the capital of the United States, this building had been erected by the State of Pennsylvania as a dwelling place for the President. But it was not ready for Washington or Jefferson, and Adams had other plans, and with the location of the permanent capital further south, the President's house had no reason for existence as such and in 1800 had been sold to the University. In 1806 some additions were made for the Medical Department. It was in a spacious group of rooms in the southeast corner of the third floor of the original building that the Society was ensconced. Doubt- less by leaning slightly from their southern windows the early members of the Society could see the woods and fields beyond the river where sixty years later a building was to go up from which their successors can now look back on the old site and measure the course of the years by the changed world that lies between Ninth Street and Thirty-sixth. Is it only a century that sepa- rates that world from this?
Many of the expressions and practices familiar to all Philo men date from the very beginning of its existence. The meeting night then as now was Friday. The title "Moderator" for the presiding officer was adopted at once and the first Moderator was elected at the first meeting, while the first Censor Morum was elected at the third meeting. The practice of debating and the practice of fining members for non-performance were begun
23
promptly and simultaneously at the second meeting — Mr. Chew having been fined on that occasion 31 J cents. A glimpse of the condition of the finances in the outer world is obtained from the order shortly afterward that the treasurer should not receive in payment for fines any bank notes except those of Philadelphia or of New Jersey banks. Another indication of the existence at that time of public questions still only partially settled is the subject of one of the early debates, "Should women be permitted to preach?" This was decided in the negative.
An echo from a still more distant world is a debate in 1818, "Whether any advantages have resulted to Europe by the down- fall of Bounaparte?" Most of the debates and discussions, however, reflected the classical interests of the time. Compari- sons of the merits of Greek and Roman heroes, Latin orations, translations of classical prose and verse assigned by the Moderator to be handed in to a classical committee, discussions of old Greek problems in casuistry or dialectic, seem to have been the staple of the literary exercises. Debates were then more perhaps than now looked upon as forensic training for lawyers, and the early members, therefore, like some in later days, seem to have felt that parliamentary contests and impeachment trials were equally good for that purpose. Henry Gilpin, Moderator, was impeached in a trial that lasted from November, 1 81 7, to February, 1818, and when he subsequently became Attorney-General of the United States he may well have looked back to these experi- ences with a new sense of reality. Within this early period the Library was founded and public "exhibitions" of orations were held, analogous to the prize debates and orations of later days. Thus Philo became an established and integral part of the college life of the first; half of the century.
The old Presidential mansion was eventually torn down and two buildings erected in its place, one for the Medical School, the other for the College. In the latter, Philo was given a new
24
room and at the same time a new neighbor and rival, Zelo, founded in 1829. This was the period when Zelosophic, Philalethian, Erosophian, Hermetic, Calliopean and other societies with ingen- ious classical, especially Greek names, were being founded in many American colleges. They were encouraged by the faculties, their objects were predominantly literary and they were thus quite clearly differentiated from the Greek letter societies, most of which indeed came somewhat later. With some of these similar societies in other colleges, Philo has entered into debates within recent years, though but few of them have had so long a continuous existence as she.
Fifty years passed away and it was time for the Society to celebrate its semi-centennial. The students had become a more numerous and a somewhat older body. They were now approx- imately sixteen years old on entrance to college and there were some one hundred and twenty in college. The term had been lengthened to four years, and the faculty had been added to until the catalogue for 1863 shows six professors. The Law and I Scientific Schools had been added to the University, but Philo \ still remained distinctly an Arts society, members drawn from \my other department being entirely exceptional. The intervening half century between 1813 and 1 863 had seen many ups and downs in the history of the College and of Philo, but at no time were its meetings suspended nor the old customs seriously invaded. On the contrary, at certain times its intellectual life was especially active, and once at least this intellectual activity was put into a material form, the results of which still remain. This was the publication of the volume on the Rosetta Stone. In the spring of 1856 a member named Conrad presented to the Society a cast of the Rosetta Stone and read a paper on the subject of hiero- glyphics. Where he got the cast or the interest in that unfamiliar subject, history does not record. The incident, however, excited some interest, and three other men, Hale, Jones and Morton,
25
took the matter up and induced the Society to appoint them a committee to make a report on the puzzling present that had been made to them. Becoming more and more deeply interested in their task, as intellectual young fellows without too much else pressing upon them are apt to do, they not only drew up a manu- script report, with a translation, notes and illustrations, but a year or so later had the whole work lithographed with colored illustrations. All copies were soon bought up and a second edition, which was published a year later by the Society, was also exhausted. It has long been a rare book now, but fortunately copies exist in both the Society and the University Library. Serious recognition has been given and should be given to what was a serious and meritorious piece of work. Occasionally, as we read the annals of the Society, new customs emerge. In January, 1847, occurred what appears to have been the first Philo-Zelo joint debate. Six Zelo men and five Philo men on two successive evenings discussed the highly original question, "Was the execution of Charles I justifiable?'* Curiously enough, according to modern competitive ideas, the two societies were not pitted against one another, some men from each society appearing on each side of the question. On the conclusion of the debate the decision was given on the question itself, not in favor of either society. The relations between the members of the two societies were not apparently always restricted to the field of debate. In February, 1861, an entry on the minute book indicates that on the preceding Friday evening some mem- bers of Philo had destroyed some of Zelo's possessions. The Society disavows any knowledge of the circumstances but at the same time offers to pay the bill for repairs. It is of interest to note that at this meeting, among the members present were two destined later to become Provosts of the University, William Pepper and Charles C. Harrison. The number of members of Philo who in later life became prominent is a notable fact, but

one perhaps that can hardly be dwelt on with perfectly good taste in an assembly so largely made up of the persons concerned. However, it may be of interest to remark in discussing the year 1863, that James Murray Mason, of Mason and Slidell, the Con- federate Commissioners who had two years before that date been taken by a United States vessel from an English mail steamer and almost became the occasion of war between England and our country, had been a member of Philo and its sixteenth Moderator.
During this war period, when Philo was rounding out the first half century of its existence, occurrences in the outside world could not help but be reflected in College and in the Society. There were in those days still many members from the South and feeling ran high. The election of prominent personages to honorary membership was made the means of carrying on political quarrels. Major Anderson, President Lincoln, General McCIellan and General Rosencrans were at various times nominated and according to the changes of majorities, elected, blackballed or had the record of previous action upon them expunged from the minutes. The Secretary has left the record of the close of the meeting of February 27, 1863: "General George McCIellan voted on. Blackballed. Former motion in reference to expunging names of honorary members recalled. Debated. Intense excitement. Question called and lost. Exceeding disorder, disgracing the hall, in which it was moved to adjourn. Carried.
"George E. Oakman, Secretary."
Some months before, it had been resolved that those members who had received leave of absence from the faculty for the purpose of entering the service of their country should receive their diplo- mas from Philo just as they would from the College.
The fiftieth anniversary ceremonies of the Society were held in the midst of the darkest period of the war. The terrible battle of Gettysburg had been fought three months before, the campaign
27
of Chattanooga was just beginning. The country was divided in opinion and many doubtful in their loyalty. President Lincoln on the very eve of the immortal Gettysburg address was subjected to widespread and harsh criticism. Earthworks for the possible need of defense of Philadelphia had been thrown up, beginning just at the western end of the present dormitories and passing in front of the Veterinary building. A quarry, three squares west of the new Dental Hall, at Forty-third and Spruce Streets was in use as a practice ground for recruits. A corps of University students, professors and some who are now trustees was either in the field or being held as reserves. At the Philo semi-centennial ceremonies, which were held on the 6th of October, speaker after speaker referred in tones of grief to the dark cloud hanging over the nation, to the seeming set-back in the progress of civilization, to the rift in the fabric of our people.
Now, fifty years later, as we, a nation of more than a hundred millions, rejoice in our unbroken and unthreatened unity through the whole extent of the national territory, our government for the time administered by a man freely chosen by the whole people, though a native of one of the states then in rebellion; questions of secession and slavery and sectionalism long since settled, or relegated to the field of historical interest, and replaced by new questions, belonging in the social rather than in the political order, we must again pause, astonished by the change, and cry as before when we compared the early with the later days, is it only half a century that separates that time from this?
The changes that have come to Philo and the College of which Philo is a part, during this half century defy description within the bounds of this slight historical outline. The change of loca- tion from Ninth Street to its present habitation in West Philadel- phia, which typified, just as it made possible, a larger opportunity, a larger life, wider ideals; the entrances and the exits of the fifty classes of men with all their varying interests and character-
28
sties, the debates, the literary and political contests, the occasional courses of lectures which Philo initiated, the entertainments for which she was sponsor, the effect on the College of the mere continuing existence of a society with its history, its practices and its ideals — of such materials must its history be made up or pictured in the imagination. There are, however, two or three forms of its activity that may well receive more concrete mention. One of these is its experience in journalism. From the earliest times, periodical papers had been prepared in manuscript form, were read and continued for a shorter or longer time. Occasion- ally a printed journal was established and lived its little life of a few months. But in 1 875 the University Magazine was established, and published regularly, at first as a monthly and then as a semi- monthly, by a committee of the Society and at the Society's expense, or rather at its financial risk, since the expenses were as a matter of fact always met by its own income. Its files still exist intact in the University Library, in the Philadelphia Library and in other places. After a life of ten years it was made the foundation of a magazine of more general University interest, appeal and responsibility, which was to be published by a group of editors drawn from the whole University. The merger of the University Magazine into the Pennsyhanian was an act of en- lightened self-abnegation on the part of the Society and it has had its reward in the recognition that it founded the college journalism at Pennsylvania which has since developed into one daily, one weekly and two monthly magazines.
The history of college and intercollegiate competitive debat- ing has been much the same. The early debates with Zelo have already been mentioned. Zelo went out of existence soon after 1870 and was not re-established until 1892; but soon after this time inter-society debates were begun anew and have been con- tinued since. Philo has also debated with more or less regularity with the Philolexian Society of Columbia, and with other societies
29
at Haverford, North Carolina and other colleges. In 1894 this practice was put into more regular form by our entrance into the Intercollegiate Debate Union. This membership has in turn been placed for the most part in the hands of representatives of the College at large as being a wider constituency than the Society, and Philo has again played the honorable part of the pioneer who recognizes and welcomes the advent of the outlander and turns over to him the land that he has surveyed.
Our part in the dramatic interests of the College was taken later and has been more kept within our own hands. Although Philo men had taken an active part in the formal classic plays given at an early period as part of the Commencement exercises, in the Greek play of 1886, in those of the Garrick Club, the University Dramatic Association and other such productions, it was not until 1909 that as a society she gave a play under her own charge, with all the parts taken by her own members. With the Society's literary interests and traditions, it was natural to seek a subject in the earlier periods of dramatic tradition, and the play chosen was the interesting and poetic, "Second Shepherd's Play," from the Towneley Cycle of Mystery Plays. It was a great success and four plays have been given since, "The Two Angry Women of Abington," "Mucedorus," Dekker's "Shoemaker's Holiday," and Jonson's "Alchemist." The Society has thus established a tradition of excellent acting and a distinctive selec- tion of plays of literary and historical interest, and few of her activities have given more satisfaction to her Senior members.
As we approach the present time it becomes less and less practicable to give a continuous narrative of events, and the historian must yield his place to the orator. Nor is it any part of the duty of the historian of the first century of the Society's existence to prophesy what will happen in the second. Neverthe- less, it is hard to stand on the peak from which one looks back over the past and not turn before descending to peer for a moment
30
through the mists into the vague landscape of the future. Is there now and will there continue to be a place in College for Philo to fill worthy of her past career and sufficiently useful and pleasant to justify her continued existence? Many of the functions she has fulfilled in the past have now been taken over by other college organizations or agencies. Philo has initiated and then passed on to other college journalism and much of college debating, and there are many other organizations which give the opportunities which formerly she alone offered. Has she still a reason for existence? That depends on her success or failure in perceiving and pursuing and comprehending the most elusive and yet the most influential of all spirits, the spirit of the age. We may look back lovingly and sometimes even longingly into the past, but we cannot safely neglect or be blind to the onward beckoning of the spirit of our own time. This spirit is like the neglected Dryad who called to Rhcecus, "'tis thou art blind." Just as the Society reflected the life of 1813, just as its interests and habits fifty years later corresponded to the interests and influences of that time, so the Society must now adapt itself to the demands and the opportunities of this later period. Philo may well be proud of her long career and take satisfaction in the hundred years of continuous life that we celebrate tonight. She is a noble tree with its roots deeply imbedded in the past; but it is into the light and air and sunshine of today that her branches and leaves and fruit must be lifted. Subjects of debates may well be different from those of a century or of fifty years ago; this is a new age. The Society may and doubtless will, as it has done in the past, give up some of its old practices and forms and requirements and take up new kinds of activity; the college of today is very different from the college of a hundred or of fifty years ago. On the other hand, many of the attractions of Philo, its good fellowship, its mingled appeal to the social and intellectual interests of men, the occasional opportunity for the exchange
31
of special intimacies, these and many other things are perennial and but little affected by the passage of time. Moreover, the Society whose junior members now in this hundredth year of its existence show the interest, the energy, the perseverance, and the maturity that has marked the work of their representatives, the young men who have prepared this celebration, will not want for the thoughtfulness or insight or other qualities that will give it permanence.
And now as I began this address with a quotation from Holmes in his lighter vein, may I close with a no less familiar quotation from him, but one representing his more thoughtful mood? It is a few lines from the "Chambered Nautilus." Have we not been looking back on the earlier rooms of the Society where, like that of the Nautilus,
"its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell,"
and in successive stages of the Society's existence, again like the Nautilus, it
". . . left the past year's dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft steps its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in its last-found home, and knew the old no more."
And of the Society as of the soul of man, we can say,
"Build thee more stately mansions, 0 my soul!
As the swift seasons roll
Leave thy low- vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast."

ADDRESS OF THE REV. DR. CRUSE.
Read at the Semi-Centennial of the Society, October 6, 1863.
Gentlemen: — Assembled as we are for the purpose of com- memorating the day from which we date the existence of this Society, I must cast myself upon your indulgence, in opening the subject, for the remarks that I may offer. We are now entering upon the fiftieth year since the organization in 1813, so that our Society, though not fifty years old, has reached its fiftieth year, and will be at its close just half a century in being. Thus, though not as venerable for age as many similar societies, its duration has evinced a principle of vitality, which we trust and believe will be as perpetual as the honored Alma Mater which gave it birth, and wish that the maturer child may live with its mother until the consummation of all things, supplying the material for the nurture of literature, virtue and religion until the end.
It is not the least among the reasons for mutual congratula- tion on the present occasion, that besides the many distinguished, respected and esteemed names that appear on your catalogue, or that are here with us now, there are so many of the few that participated in the formation yet living, and of these again what is still more worthy of note, that of those who were elected to sit under the canopy, the first three are still among us (and present with us). How it came to pass that your present chairman was made first Moderator, or that the second Moderator, the Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg, was not the first, I do not explain, unless it was the accidental difference of seniority that influenced the choice, but for which you and I would have the pleasure now of listen- ing to the opening address of my reverend friend and brother
35
the second Moderator with much more satisfaction, I am sure, than I can give. I could equally wish to yield the chair to our common friend Dr. George B. Wood, whose merit and well- known eminence in his profession have long since justified the election of the third Moderator. Your present chairman is happy to say that if it were a case of any competition at all he would not only on the score of esteem and friendship, but of solid merit in their favor, respectfully decline it.
In looking back upon the long series of years that have passed away since the first measures were taken to give a per- manent form to this retiring literary arena, we have a long line of those from year to year enlisted in the career of literary attain- ments, which shows that the Society has not been without contributing its quota to the general mind, and though it must, in the nature of things, expect to share in the great law of univer- sal change, yet it will, and must, as long as it endures, continue to furnish its periodic corps of those who by this voluntary discipline of scholastic life within these walls, will be ready to enter upon that more trying discipline which awaits us all in practiced life. And there, indeed, we need all the discipline we can gather in the schools to keep our lamps unextinguished whilst bred spatio mutantur sxcla animantum et quasi cursores vital lampada tradunL It is now just half a century since the then senior class of this University entertained the proposition and carried it through to form a society, the objects of which should be congenial with and promotive of the studies prosecuted in the classes. It was to be for mental, what the old gymna- sium was for bodily strength, an arena for mutual improvement, where the precaution of secrecy was rather a shield for the dif- fident, and the encouragement of retiring merit, too often uncon- scious of its capacity (by its tendency to isolation). After some informal meetings and conferences the subject was submitted to the Provost for approval, and the organization and constitution
36
completed under the title of "The Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania." This was not indeed the first attempt of the kind in the collegiate department of the Univer- sity; others had been made before, but none of them survived the class that formed it. Of one of these the anecdote is told, known to most of us, that it became more noted for its noisy sessions or adjournments than its improvement. The Provost being requested to suggest a name having the three labials TTt fi7)Ta, <f)it is said to have hinted whether they might not be called the Polyphloisbaan TroXix^Xoto-^oiai/ Society. History does not say whether they accepted the name or not, but its sub- sequent silence seems to imply they either profited by the pleas- antry to solicit no characteristic name at least, or else they allowed the class to pass on without further effort to revive a society. It was after several such attempts to establish a lit- erary association among the students had failed, that the Philo- mathean Society was formed; it was at a time also when a new period was ushered in by a complete change in the faculty of the collegiate department, and when the then senior class that formed the Society had passed from one Provost to another, with the disadvantage of an interregnum before the new faculty was settled. It is not our purpose to enter into particulars, but in order to understand the better the relative position of the then senior class and the bearing upon the formation of the Society, it seems enough to state that whether it was advantage or dis- advantage the class had passed through the regime of three Provosts successively at the time of its commencement.
The Rev. Dr. Andrews, Provost at the time of our entrance into college, was at the head of the University, but did not sur- vive the first year of our collegiate course. His decease was followed by an interval of some months under the Rev. Dr. McDowell, who once held the Provostship, and during whose temporary superintendence to supply the place of Dr. Andrews,
37
the Rev. Dr. Beasly was called to fill the station. Dr. Robert Patterson was at the same time appointed Professor of Mathemat- ics and Natural Philosophy, and Mr. James Thompson Professor of Languages, forming thus a new faculty. It was about the time of these changes and the concomitant organization that the proposal was made and carried into effect to form a Society of Students of the University with a view to literary and scientific scholarship.
At this time there was yet standing in unimpaired finish that once admired structure reared by Pennsylvania as a resi- dence for the President of the United States, and intended especially for the first President, General Washington. Most of us well remember, it was on the present square, midway between Market and Chestnut Streets, and for a long time even after its destination was changed, was known as the President's House. The President we know never occupied it, and declined it as a present, and it was then conveyed to the trustees of the University.
In the southeast corner of this edifice, on the third floor, over- looking a then large extent of vacant grounds, there was, as many of us will recollect, a fine, spacious room some twenty-five feet square, which, together with two smaller rooms adjoining, was assigned to us as Philomathean Hall. There it was that we began the Society now entered upon its fiftieth year. It was of course a time of much interest to the class, and we could wish the old building were still in existence as a monument of interest- ing facts now fading from memory.
In this rapid glance at the Society's origin, we are reminded by the retrospect, of the interesting period of history that fills up the interval and makes it altogether unsurpassed by any other period since the beginning of the Christian era. The world may be said to be almost entirely revolutionized within this half cent- ury, not by arms, but by the arts of peace. It was a great
38
change, a marked revolution, when Christianity first triumphed over political paganism — a great change when, in after ages, the art of printing made the thoughts of one man the thoughts and views of thousands and tens of thousands almost as soon as he could commit them to the pen — a great change initiated by the discovery of Columbus, and still more important changes at the period of the Reformation. But all these appear to us at this day only preparatory, tributary movements towards the rapid, wondrous developments of the nineteenth century. The world has unraveled more of its own resources for the benefit of man than in any period heretofore.
A terrible and dark cloud has indeed come over us, in the fair and flattering calculations for the future of the age, and here at least in our country we have been compelled to pause in our conclusions, by the long-dreaded calamities of a civil war —
The hand-breadth cloud the sages feared.
Its bloody rain is dropping, The poisonous plant the fathers spared,
All else is overtopping.
Yet as we mourn the sad necessity which for a time at least seems to arrest the progress of civilization and to defeat the hopes of a republic like ours — a republic in theory at least, only consistent with principles of universal emancipation — I say as we lament this seeming interruption to the progressive march of light, right and truth, I believe that, after all, when the storm is over, we shall have more reason to rejoice in its results than we now have or shall have to mourn over its sorrows. The wheel of time cannot go back. The law of God's universe is onward! and seeming retrocessions are only seeming. They are like signals to the halting traveler to a near and better road where he may find more safety, more certainty to reach his destination. And though, as in our national crisis now, the
39
halting progress is fraught with pain, anxiety and blood, and great the sacrifices to cast out the evil spirit that has brought about this national calamity, yet a due acknowledgment of this may help us, under God, to a perfect cure of the evil. And though we may be called to a yet severer trial than that now is, yet we may meet it with God on our side.
"For who that leans on His right arm
Was ever yet forsaken? What righteous cause can suffer harm, If He its part has taken."
We naturally turn from the past to the future, that future which to us all is expected, canvassed, scanned and almost meas- ured by our hopes and fears, and to which we look forward for the solution of the past. We hail the anniversary with mutual congratulations, and best wishes, and prayers for times to come — an interesting time undoubtedly to all, to none more so than to those few of us who were instrumental in giving the Society an existence which has thus far stood the test, and which by all the indications of the present gives an earnest of perpetuated vitality. To none can it be a time of deeper interest in its remi- niscences than to your first presiding officers, who, at the end of so long a series of years, are yet in the land of the living, and though not all present may send their gratulations to the assem- bled members in Philomathean Hall. And as we cast our eye into that mysterious future, not knowing what even a day may bring forth, how many earnest questions press upon us which we should be glad to resolve or see resolved into a happy issue.
Fifty years ago, with all the party ferments that have come and gone, we still had peace within our borders. We all settled down in the belief that the United States was our country, and whether born North or South — in Maine or Georgia, in Boston or Charleston — the one was as much our country as the other.
40
Sectional differences might, as they always will, create partial- ities, but the great interests were one. But since those days alas, how changed! quantum mutatus ab illo! The young giant had grown strong and mighty — but a reptile had been fed and nutured at his side until, outgrowing all control of law and right, it has dealt the virus of its posion against the hand that fostered it, and now a gigantic struggle, more fearful than that of the fabled Titans, is the present war.
Whatever be the result of this our national struggle, although we cannot but believe it will terminate in favor of justice and humanity; whoever among the senior members of the Society may live to see the end, there are none that can expect to see another fiftieth. If any of the classes survive the present so long, then indeed they will have something like a parallel with the day we have reached.
In the comparison we are reminded of the sacred rites of the fabled Prometheus, where the torch-race from the grove of Academus to the city stimulated the Grecian youth to a contest of speed in which we see an expressive symbol of the career of life. The race itself started from the altar of Prometheus. The racers, with lighted torches kindled at the altar, were to vie with each other in bearing the torch unextinguished to the goal. Whoever gave out handed his torch to the nearest racer. One of great authority, in allusion to these races, has said, "So run that ye may obtain." There is a race of life where, like the prizes in the games, there is something to be obtained. Cicero, in reference to these Promethean sacred rites, observes, as it does not imply that he who receives the torch has been swifter of foot than the one who has delivered it, so in life the one that yields is not always the inferior, and so we are not to judge the merits of the race by one feature alone. Yet he alone was crowned who brought his burning lamp to the goal. And thus also with peculiar fitness the analogy applies to every generous
41
emulation. In the symbolic device of the Society, the burning lamp, supplied by human hand, seems only like a part or prelim- inary of the Promethean race. The nurturings of diligent care and study cherishing the lamp of mind, as the only ground of solid excellence, becomes a torch-race at the altar of Prometheus. For though there may be other ways of ascending to the skies besides a course of study, yet it is as true now as it was of old. "Nihil sine labor e vita mortalibus dedit." What the old Roman (Lucretius) has made the picture of life in the Lampadedromia is as applicable to every institution aspiring to excellence. So the participants of Philomathean Hall have no objects in view but the great concerns of life. The association is a Promethean torch-race where, class after class, a portion retire handing over the unextinguished light to others. So the lamp of mind is kept burning, from one, through years of succession where every generation is expected to preserve what has been transmitted, whilst these again deliver up the trust undiminished, unimpaired to the next —
Sic, quasi cursores Vitai lampada tradunt.
Among the good effects resulting from the Society, there has been the formation of another, with similar or the same objects in view, under the same auspices of the College; its very name, indicative of zeal, combined with wisdom, is an indirect tribute to the Philomethean Hall, which it proposes to rival. May it be to both a generous competition, an emulation in which each society will find its advantage only in honoring each other's merits and following what is good.
After all, it reminds us of the great lesson that underlies all others, life is the career for us all, and it has its cares, its duties, its responsibilities. Grave considerations these, and that we may finish our course with the humble hope that we have not lived in vain. As the race must be run, so the lamp must be kept burn-
42
ing. It is the lamp of mind that needs all nurturing care, it is the oil of truth that must feed the flame, it is the hand of virtue, humanity and righteousness that must hold it up in the race and make it available for all that is good and great. A noble prob- lem, a noble strife, an emulation that lives only in the desire of doing good and which, like angels in heaven, will rejoice over one sinner that repenteth. It is an emulation which, descending from heaven, is planted as a ladder on earth for us to ascend, and is thus to be the moving power of every onward step in the torch-race of life. For the Grecian youth the altar of Prometheus was erected in the groves of the Academy, and the race was thence to the city of Minerva. The altar itself was the symbol of forecast, ingenuity, invention, and the rival racers symbolized the candidates in science, literature and the arts.
In this Promethean age in which we live, this age of artistic invention and scientific application, we may well find a parallel to the ancient fables, with perhaps the great difference, that our facts are stranger than their fictions. We have no Promethean altar indeed at which to kindle the lamp of mind, and our onward strides to the goal of approval have no sympathy with those that sped their course to the walls of Athens. But we have our light taken, not from the structure made with hands, but from that light which, coming from on high, is only another name for eternal truth. Nurtured from that fountain it can never die away, but advancing, ascending, rising high as its source, must grow and spread and rule from age to age and the consummation of ages.
With such difference in our favor, we have also a nobler race to run, a nobler prize to win. It may not be glory, it may not be fame, it may not be wealth or power or even health, but it will be above all the approval of our own hearts and the approval of Him who is greater than our heart. What more than this we need shall be dealt out largely — for that is the Almighty verdict
43
—they shall be added. We shall all have sufficient in the struggle here to gain the prize there, and when the torch-race of life is run we shall resign the lamp of mind, unextinguished here only to revive in the immortal splendor of that hereafter which knows no extinction or decay.
Allow me, gentlemen, in conclusion, to thank you for this attention by which I have been honored, and as it is the last occasion in which I can expect to share in your transactions, so I may at this stage, at least, and as one of the racers hand the lamp to another. Gentlemen, as we have met now, we shall never meet again, our present forms an epoch which can only be realized once in a lifetime, and before another semi-centennial celebration, we shall not any of us have occasion, call, or even interest in the race. A sober, solemn thought, but no dream.
Happy, if then, in obedience to the behests of Sovereign Goodness, we must retire from the arena, we may, with cheer- fulness, give place to those that follow, with the consciousness that whilst we may not have done always what we would, we have done at least in the direction of right, what we could.
Failures here, indeed, may again create a pause, but as in the career of life, so in its termination, the universal remedy is only there, where we find the universal good.

ADDRESS DELIVERED BEFORE THE PHILOMATHEAN
SOCIETY AT THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION,
DECEMBER 13, 1913
BY FRANCIS A. LEWIS, ESQ.
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Philomathean Society, Ladies and
Gentlemen:
If one is inclined to be conventional upon an occasion such as this, he has a clear and easy path marked out for him.
Philadelphia might be described as the home of Centennials —beginning with 1876 and continuing down to the present time there have been numberless anniversaries commemorating vari- ous events of more or less importance. Like world's fairs, they have been worked overtime. There has been a degree of same- ness about them which has rather wearied people — largely, I venture to think, because too much stress has been laid upon the historical side of the event.
The original laudator temporis acti was, I am quite sure, a Philadelphian, and he left innumerable descendants. He is a character I never admired. The man with ancestors never appealed to me. To his ancestors I have no objection what- ever, doubtless they were excellent people, but they are dead long since and their descendants are only too willing to shine by a reflected light. To put it concretely, I am much more interested in what a man is now doing than what his ancestors did. A number of patriotic societies came into being as an echo of the centennial spirit, which to me have been sources of peren- nial amusement. With stately tread they march annually to
47
church to hear about Washington, and on a pleasant June day by boat or train start on a pilgrimage to some historic spot; an oration is delivered, good food and drink abound, and they return thoroughly convinced that something has been accom- plished.
The societies have no doubt justified their existence — so have cemeteries.
I shall spend no time upon a consideration of the past of the Philomathean Society, this has already been handled and well handled. That we are an old and honorable organiza- tion goes without the saying or we should not have survived; but no organization is worth maintaining unless it can meet the pragmatic test.
Instead therefore of indulging in a series of laudatory remarks which could be strung out to an indefinite length, I prefer to use the brief time at my disposal to consider what I deem to be an important, modern question. To this Society I owe a debt, a great debt, that no statute of limitations can bar, and it is because I want to discharge some small portion of that debt that I am here tonight.
It is nearly two score years since I retired as Moderator, in the spring of 1877. That is a long time in any one's life. I know full well the misconstruction to which one renders himself liable if he refers to himself and any successes he may have had and I shall not fall into any such trap, but I do not think what I say ought to be open to misconstruction if I remark that what- ever influence be it ever so small that I have been able to exert, has been largely due to being able to talk to and reason with bodies of people — and how to do this I chiefly learned in yonder building on Friday nights at the regular meetings of this Society. The Philomathean is nothing more nor less than a debating society and debating means the ability to think and talk on one's feet. So I naturally drift into my subject. I want to talk to
48
you rather informally and in no sense oratorically about Public Speaking. I shall consider its value, and the conditions that go to make it successful.
The number who are worth listening to as speakers today is lamentably small. Why is this so? Men are not lacking either in knowledge or intelligence ; the average man can express himself forcibly and effectively in conversation, but put him on his feet — his knees begin to shake, and he stammers out his feeble remarks in disjointed sentences to which it is painful to listen. We all know this from experience. Stage fright is usually assigned as the cause, but this is only another name for self-consciousness. It is a condition which most men find it absolutely impossible to overcome. Unless one can overcome stage fright he had better refrain from speaking. Your attitude to an audience of a thousand people must be exactly the same as your attitude toward the man who sits next you at dinner and with whom you are conversing on some interesting subject. The only way to get confidence is to forget yourself.
It is well at the outset that I define what I mean by Public Speaking. I do not refer to Essays or to Papers prepared and read upon a thousand different subjects. Those who read them do not pretend to be public speakers. The pulpit, the stump, the public dinner, what may be called public meetings or meet- ings held to arouse interest in some project, and legislative bodies, about enumerate the occasions upon which the public speaker is in evidence.
A word as to sermons — I think it is pretty generally admitted that the average modern sermon is a failure, in that it really does not interest anybody very much. I have no quar- rel with the clergy at all, but preaching is not generally their forte. There are many reasons why this is so, but the chief one is that every message must from a sermon standpoint be of a conventional length. A man may have a good message which
49
he can deliver forcibly and sufficiently in ten minutes, but he must string it out to twenty-five, else church will be out too soon, and the redundancy spoils it. On the other hand, he may have a message which an hour would scarce suffice to deliver but that would keep church in too long. The result is the same in both cases — the message is a failure. I have, however, neither the time nor the inclination to dwell on sermons. It is a subject in itself, and I make but this passing reference to it. Now a word as to oratory.
When we lament, as we sometimes do, the decadence of what is called oratory, some things must be borne in mind. Daniel Webster was certainly one of the greatest public speakers of his day, an old-fashioned orator. An aged resident of this city told me recently of a testimonial dinner given to Webster in Philadelphia in the late forties. Daniel was the only speaker and he spoke four hours.
That day is past and gone. It is nothing to say that we have no one who can speak four hours, the answer is that if we had — no one would listen to him.
The cry is for speakers who will satisfy modern demands, not for a return to the ancient style of oratory.
The familiar story of the man who rose at a dinner and inquired "what shall I talk about"? and received the reply from one of the diners, "about five minutes," exactly illustrates the modern situation. The present-day public crave and appreciate good speeches, but they must be brief. Brevity is the soul of speech as well as of wit. The difficulty is that not only the would-be speakers but the educational institutions are singularly blind to what is wanted and do nothing to fit either themselves or their pupils for the task. For example, in theological sem- inaries there is always a chair of homiletics, which is another name for sermon preparation, but the difficulty is that the pro- fessor usually is a very indifferent preacher himself. Who shall
50
teach the teacher? The same is true in greater or less degree of our educational institutions where the subject is either altogether ignored or left in unfit hands.
Another grave error is the foolish assumption that any man distinguished in any particular walk of life can make a speech. The Honorable Epaminondas Pipps has written a very erudite or clever book, or he is an eminent authority on Birds, or Tuber- culosis, or Meteorology, or perchance Eugenics, therefore he is invited to speak at a dinner as a sort of drawing card. But Epaminondas cannot speak — he knows it, his audience soon dis- cover it, and swear at him. He may be at fault for coming, but his hosts are more at fault for asking him, and the custom is just as absurd as it would be to invite a distinguished professor of Greek to play on an organ and fault him when he failed — it is not his job. There is nothing more hideous than to be obliged to listen at a dinner to a speaker who does not know how to speak. Sometimes he produces a manuscript, which is quite as incongruous after dinner as would be a moving picture show at a funeral. Sometimes he imagines himself humorous, but this conceit is shared by none of his audience. We are thankful for brevity but usually have little on this score to be thankful for.
I speak feelingly upon this subject because I have so often been the victim at dinners of two classes of speakers, those with thoughts who do not know how to express them, and those with- out thoughts who try to express mere trash.
The story is well known of a tent evangelist in the South who in the prayer before the sermon exclaimed nearly a dozen times, "Oh, Lord, give me power." One of his audience a little under the influence of liquor cried out, "Young man, what you want ain't power, its ideas." So of the after-dinner speaker.
The after-dinner speech is the supreme test of a man's wits. He must not only have them about him, but all over him.
51
Some few years ago a distinguished statesman was invited to Philadelphia to speak at a dinner upon Alexander Hamilton. My informant told me that at the end of forty-five minutes he had concluded the story of Hamilton's boyhood days, entirely oblivious of the fact that twenty minutes is the absolute limit of any after-dinner speech.
Having played the part, although unwillingly, of the destructive critic, it is now in order that I become constructive, for the mere iconoclast is a public nuisance. You young men before me are destined, I hope, for some kind of an active life — professional or otherwise, it makes no difference. Your influence will be immeasurably enhanced if you shall be able to express your thoughts publicly as occasion demands.
It will be, as I said a few moments ago, thirty-seven years next spring since I bade good-bye to this Society and this Uni- versity. During that period, and especially during the last half of it, I have heard countless speeches, good, bad and indifferent, and have made a great many which I suppose may be described by the same adjectives. Let me then play the part of mentor and offer some practical suggestions to you. First of all and foremost of all, never speak without adequate preparation — if you do, you will degenerate into a mere talker and the question will be the same as was raised nineteen hundred years ago at Athens, "What will this babbler say?" I have said preparation, what do I mean by it? A speech consists of three parts, thought, expression, delivery — as to the last later. Unless you have some thought, do not attempt to speak, for you cannot express a non-existent thing. The average educated young man is not usually destitute of thoughts, and we may assume that the would-be speaker has the thoughts and wants to put them in shape for utterance. I would advise him first of all to read the King James version of the Bible, and to keep on reading it. Not as a religious duty at all, for with that I am not now concerned,
52
but in order to soak himself in good English. Ignorance of the English language is characteristic of present-day speakers. When you have gathered your thoughts together proceed to put them on paper in just such language as may occur to you. Having completed this, go over it carefully and strike out every word possible of Latin or Greek derivation. You are not to make a Latin or Greek but an English speech.
You remember this story of Daniel Webster. He had been appointed Secretary of State by William Henry Harrison, and the latter sent him the draft of a very bombastic inaugural address for correction. Returning to his boarding house late one evening his landlady remarked that he looked exhausted and inquired if anything had happened. "You would think," replied Webster, "that something had happened if you knew what I have done. I have this afternoon killed seventeen Roman proconsuls." The slaughter of Harrison's proconsuls, will not be a circumstance to the carnage that will follow your elimination from your speech of Latin and Greek derivatives.
The spirit and the lesson of the Parable of the Prodigal Son are not to be underestimated, but I venture to think that its great popularity is largely though unconsciously due to its fault- less English. There is scarcely a derivative word in it. The same is true of other parables, notably that of the Tares and the Wheat. No one should attempt public speaking who does not know these parables by heart. Having corrected your speech as to form, boil it down — reduce it to its lowest common denominator — you had better be faulted for brevity than discursiveness. And when you shall have done all this, memorize it. Yes, learn it by heart, and then throw away the manuscript.
Of course this suggestion brings up the whole question of what is called extempore speaking, and the advice I give is limited to young men. There is no greater danger than that of
53
extempore speaking, for sooner or later, generally sooner, your thoughts as well as your language will become extempore, and that spells ruin. The habit you will form of correct and con- densed expression by writing and memorizing, will serve you in good stead against the time, sure to come in later life, when pres- sure of other duties will forbid such painstaking and elaborate preparation.
For a short speech, and that is the only kind young men should make, the extempore and the manuscript are both abom- inations. I should urge every young man who desires to speak to go on the stump for a while. One can always get an assignment to a small town and there is no better training school. A single prepared speech will serve for a whole campaign and you learn a great deal by practice which, if hard on you, is still harder on your audiences. The great value of stump speaking is that it makes one quick witted. You are liable to constant interrup- tions— and if one is to attain any success as a speaker he must be prepared for a good deal of give and take.
"Think," said a stump speaker in an adjoining town, "of the iniquity of a tariff on tea and coffee/' "But," cried some one from the audience, "there hasn't been any for ten years." This is disconcerting to say the least. The speaker was a fool to make such a statement, but having made it, he must have some ready answer or his usefulness in that town is at an end. I leave each of you to determine how he should have dealt with that interrup- tion.
Never let an audience rattle you. I recollect some years ago being interrupted by a drunken man at the Academy of Music. He annoyed me a little and the audience more. Amid cries of "put him out," I said, "Don't put him out, let me speak with him." He was up in the balcony. Turning to him and thereby focusing the eyes of the house on him, I said very quietly, "My friend, I came here invited to make a speech, and you came here
54
uninvited to ask questions. There isn't time for us both, but if you will let me speak without further interruption, I will gladly answer your questions in the Green Room after the meeting." The incident was closed and he subsided. But then you are liable to interruption from some one who is sober. He is not so easy to handle — if he asks a sensible question answer it fairly and frankly — if not, then follow Solomon's advice and "answer a fool according to his folly." But if you are going to maintain your equilibrium you must be prepared for the heckler.
Never antagonize an audience. If it be in sympathy with you this advice is useless; if it be out of sympathy your duty is to win it. There are many ways of antagonizing an audience, I will indicate some of them. Nothing is more likely to cause trouble than making light, not only of religion, but of any partic- ular religion. The present is flippantly called an irreligious age. This is not true. Not only are men and women thinking and feel- ing deeply upon religious subjects, but those who are not, have no liking for slurs upon or criticisms of religion. Closely akin to this is a proper restraint in speaking of what I call, for want of a better name, the world's heroes. The capacity for fun is unlimited in America and it is well that it is so, but let your fun at the expense of heroes be in good taste. It is a curious fact that there is only one man in American history that no one has ever dared to poke fun at. Go over the whole list, and even George Washington with the hatchet and the cherry tree has not been immune from platform humor, but no one has ever dared to become humorous at the expense of Abraham Lincoln. Himself a man of boundless and not always refined humor, the victim during his life of more coarse abuse from the stump than any other American. Referred to constantly as an ape and a baboon. All this ceased in 1865, and any public speaker who dared to speak flippantly of Lincoln would be hissed from the stage.
55
The temptation to abuse and villification is peculiarly char- acteristic of the stump. Calling one a liar and a thief is easy and cheap, and creates antagonism. Better far to describe impersonally this kind of an individual, and leave to your audience the privilege of identifying him. Calling people names, like drink, is a habit that grows on one. A speaker who begins his career by calling names usually and speedily degenerates into a mere blackguard.
I have hesitated whether I ought even to mention the fact, that in any speech delivered, no matter when, where, or under what circumstances, no man must ever say a word that he would not be willing to say to his family at his dinner table.
Anything of this sort is to be deprecated, not only because it is vulgar but because it will shortly end the career of anyone who attempts it. There are vulgar men in the world and vulgar women too, but it is creditable to America that our people want no exhibition of vulgarity on the platform, the theater seems to provide them with enough.
More depends upon the manner of a speech than its matter. This is to be regretted but it is true. Some people say nothing very well. When I was a boy elocution was taught in school and college; whether all the elocutionists are dead or not I do not know, but I sincerely hope that those who died did so without hope of resurrection.
The bad gestures and modulations of voice that I was taught, it took me years to recover from. The rules that can be given as to delivery are few and simple. Be neither slouchy nor fussy. Do not come on a platform with shambling gait and on the other hand, do not strut like a peacock. You will get your audience in the first three minutes or you will never get them, and your manner will score heavily in their first estimate of you. Of course if your strong card be drollery, well and good. Start off with it, but don't mistake buffoonery for drollery, because
56
your audience won't. Naturalness is the key to delivery. The prepared gesture, the measured period, the studied enunciation, are soon detected and properly laughed at. If you want to be effective be natural.
Of course you will have some bad natural habits to correct. Too many gestures — reduce them — many gestures are not appre- ciated.
Your usual voice is your best voice, provided it is not too loud or what may be called snappy. I know a speaker to whom it would be a pleasure to listen, but for the fact that he always raises his voice to a high pitch at the very end of every sentence, and his speeches resemble the explosion of an automobile tire.
In the last analysis, the conversational style is the most effective. Great rapidity of utterance is to be avoided because it is difficult for your audience to follow, but it is immeasurably better to be too rapid than too slow, for the latter produces sleep. Above all things, when you have finished sit down. When you have reached the climax don't risk an anti-climax for the sake of a few more minutes. "I wish he had spoken longer," is the highest praise you will receive for any speech you will ever make. Let it always remain an ungratified wish and suc- cess is surely yours.
There is one book, perhaps more than one, in existence called Familiar Quotations — the ready refuge of the indolent speaker. Quotations should be used sparingly and still more sparingly familiar quotations — because they are generally so familiar as to be trite. For example, during the past ten years the repetition of the fact that the government of the people, by the people and for the people must not be allowed to perish from the earth has brought me close to the doors of a lunatic asylum. This really great conclusion of the Gettysburg classic has been used by every witless babbler till it has become jejune to the last degree.
57
The epigram is always appreciated and one can usually afford to be extravagant with it, but alliterations are to be care- fully handled and reserved for occasional use — they are not particularly difficult to formulate but they may be loaded, as the late Rev. Dr. Burchard discovered.
I must say something as to the use of humor and wit in speaking. The words are not exactly synonymous but the dis- tinction is so shadowy that I may safely disregard it. Wit is, of course, a natural gift, but if it be in the system at all it can be cultivated, and is a most, perhaps the most, valuable asset a speaker can possess. The American people have a keen sense of humor — and may I digress long enough to say that one of the most interesting things to watch is the effect of wit upon an audience. An obvious witticism of course meets with an imme- diate response, but real wit a trifle subtle strikes about ten per cent of an audience at once, about eighty per cent in ten seconds, the remaining ten per cent and a German audience, never. Of course there is often recourse to the wit of others, I mean apt stories. These help along a speech wonderfully, subject to three provisoes. The story must be reasonably new. Let it not be said of your anecdote:
In the days of King Rameses That joke died of paresis.
A story is good to illustrate a point provided it fulfills its func- tion, but if it does not, don't tell it merely for the sake of the telling. It may raise a momentary laugh but it weakens the speech. Again, if you are going to tell a story do not waste much time on the preface, the point is the thing, and get there speedily. How often have I heard a really good story ruined by an elaborate statement of the place where, or the time when, or the person to whom the incident happened.
Let me illustrate — a friend was visiting an Irishman, who
58
had on his parlor mantel a brick with a wineglass on top in which was a flower. Curiosity being aroused, he inquired the cause of the presence of the brick. The Irishman pointing to his head said, "Do you see that scar? The brick is what made that scar." "Well, what is the flower in the wineglass?" "That is from the grave of the man who threw the brick." The story is good, but many a speaker would ruin it by reciting that it occurred in Boston and that the Irishman's name was Finnigan and the visitor's name Jones and the man who threw the brick Sullivan. In the wilderness of nomenclature the point would be lost.
Akin to wit is ridicule. I do not affirm that ridicule is always or generally a sound, or for the matter of that, any argument at all, but I do not hesitate to say that it is the most effective arrow the speaker has in his quiver if he knows how to use it. Making your antagonist ridiculous generally finishes him, unless when his turn comes he can make you more ridiculous.
Gentlemen, I have almost finished and I suppose some one will say, "Physician, heal thyself. You have preached brevity and failed to practice it." That is true, and for it I can do naught but apologize. My excuse is that of the letter writer who asked pardon for writing a long letter because he had not the time to write a short one.
It may be that you yourselves have thought or been taught many of the things I have said, but nobody ever taught them to me when I was young. Perhaps again they are not worth the knowing — but had I been taught them I should not have had to learn so much in the school of experience.
This Society — may I not call it my own Society — interests me. You young men interest me; the great questions of today and of the future interest me, and I plead with you for the sake of the Philomathean, for your own sakes, and for the sake of the country, spare neither time nor talent to fit yourselves, not only
59
to think but to find a way to express your thoughts in such a manner as to command attention.
It will not perhaps fall to your lot "the applause of listening Senates to command," but it can be yours if you will it so, to contribute something with your voices and tongues to the solu- tion of some of the varied problems with which we as American citizens are now and will tomorrow be confronted.
Mr. Winston Churchill in his most recent and most talked of book omits the preface and adds an afterword. May I follow so distinguished an example. I appreciate more than I can tell you the compliment you have paid me in asking me to come here and deliver this address. It has been a pleasure to come and it will be a still greater pleasure if anything I may have said shall prove helpful to any of those who have so patiently listened to me. May I add one more thought. Back of all your speeches stands the necessity for sincerity and sanity. Unless you believe what you say you may deceive yourselves, but you will not long deceive other people; your acts must not belie your words. But mere sincerity is not enough. There is such a thing as the sincerity of a disordered mind, and it finds expression every hour of every day. The man who maintains that whatever is is wrong lacks a well-balanced mind, but his mind is not one whit more askew than he who maintains that whatever is is right.
The poor fool who proposes by legislation to make every- body rich, happy and contented is just about as sane as the rich fool who is opposed to anything being attempted to better existing conditions. With the former the personal equation counts for nothing, with the latter, for everything. Both are wrong. If you cultivate sane, well-balanced orderly minds, like the householder in the Scripture you will bring forth from your treasure things new and old, and both will be worth listening to.
60
Today closes the first century of our life as a society, tomorrow begins the second. Of whatever country or clime, of whatever land or language, of whatever politics or religion, we may all unite in the prayer for the Philomathean:
"The Lord God be with us as he was with our Fathers. May he never leave us nor forsake us."

THE ROSETTA STONE REPORT
THE ROSETTA STONE REPORT*
BY HENRY MORTON, PH.D.
President of Stevens' Institute of Technology
Although the present writer had a good deal to do with the so-called Rosetta Stone Report, he is free to admit that it owed its inception and publication to the energy and persistence of his collaborator, the Rev. Charles R. Hale, now Dean of Davenport Cathedral, Iowa.
About the close of the college year of 1 855-56 Mr. Thomas K. Conrad, then a member of the graduating class, and now the Rev. Dr. Conrad, Rector of St. Paul's, Philadelphia, presented to the Philomathean Society a plaster cast of the famous Rosetta Stone, at the same time reading an essay on "Hieroglyphic Research."
About this time Mr. Charles R. Hale joined the class of 1858, then in its sophomore year, and also became a member of the Philomathean Society.
His attention and interest were excited by this model of the Rosetta Stone, and asking many questions about it which no one was able to answer, he caused others to feel that the subject ought to be investigated, and accordingly a committee was appointed, with Mr. Hale for chairman, and instructed to investi- gate and report upon the Rosetta Stone. The other members of this committee were S. Huntington Jones and the present writer. The latter had already taken some interest in the subject of hieroglyphics, and when, after a preliminary report by Mr. Hale the subject grew in importance in the estimation of the committee,
* Reprinted from the "Philomathean Record" of 1892
65
he offered to do some serious work on the interpretation of the hieroglyphic text, and also to illustrate and illuminate the manu- script of the completed report.
The interest grew as the work proceeded, and,, without any definitely prearranged plan as to division of labor, it arranged itself finally, as follows: Mr. Hale took in hand the Greek and Demotic texts of the trilingual inscription and gave valuable assistance in translating the hieroglyphic text; Mr. Jones con- tributed an historic essay on the "Egyptian king, Ptolemy Epiphanes," in whose honor the inscriptions were originally made, and the present writer took charge of the hieroglyphic text, and of the pictorial decoration of the work.
The work progressed slowly as it involved much study of books not readily accessible, and both the present writer and Mr. Hale spent many days of more than one vacation in the Astor Library in New York, as well as in the Philadelphia Library, where only certain extensive works on "Egyptology," and on "Hieroglyphics" were to be seen. Among these one of the most important was that of "Lepsius," which contained a complete drawing of an inscription on a temple wall at Philae, which proved to be another copy of the inscription covering the Rosetta Stone. This Philae inscription was, in great part, effaced, but a careful collation of what remained of it (made for the first time by this committee) enabled them to throw a new light on many otherwise doubtful passages of the Rosetta Stone text.
For the various reasons indicated, it was not until the sum- mer of 1857 that the manuscript report of the Rosetta Stone Committee was finished, bound, and deposited in the library of the Philomathean Society.
Almost immediately, however, it mysteriously disappeared, and for several months it was supposed to be lost. When, at last it was found and replaced in the library, the circumstances of its temporary loss impressed some members of the desirability
66
of reproducing, by some mode of printing, a volume representing so much labor.
The reproduction of the Hieroglyphic and Demotic texts, and of the colored illustrations and illuminations, could only be accomplished by chromo-lithography, and the expense of preparing the necessary and numerous drawings on stone, if a professional artist were employed, was prohibitory under the existing conditions. The present writer, at that time, knew absolutely nothing about drawing on stone, but with the happy temerity of youth, and inexperience, he felt that nothing possible to man ought to trouble a graduate of the University of Pennsyl- vania, and of the Philomathean Society, and he, therefore, under- took, quite as a matter of course, to make all the required drawings on the stone.
In this task he spent the entire summer and autumn of 1 858, and during the same time Mr. Hale worked with unwearied diligence in perfecting and enlarging the various parts of the work which came under his hands. Shortly before Christmas, 1 858, the first edition of this report made its appearance, and was so highly appreciated by the public that in a few days the entire edition was exhausted, and many times the original price of copies was offered by those anxious to secure them.
Under these conditions the Philomathean Society, who had found this committee so ready to execute its directions, at its meeting held January 21, 1859, expressed the desire that this committee should prepare a second edition of their report. This request involved more than might at first sight appear.
To produce each one of the colored designs of the report, an average of four lithographic stones was required, and these, with the non-illuminated pages of Hieroglyphic and Demotic, made a total of several hundred stones. No lithographic establishment had such a stock of the same size, or could afford to keep them for our use; therefore, when the first part of the report had been
67
struck off, the stones were ground down to a new surface, and used for a new set of pages. Thus, when the Society desired its committee to print a new edition, only the stones used in the preparation of the last twenty pages or so retained any designs, and thus the printing of a new edition involved the production on stone of more than a hundred drawings.
Encouraged and inspired by the already realized success, the present writer willingly undertook this work, and, profiting by experience, made entirely new designs for all the pages it was necessary to reproduce. Thus the second edition was in its artistic portion largely a new work.
This second edition came out in the spring of J859, and, like its predecessor, was not very long in being exhausted; so that for over twenty years the Rosetta Stone Report has been numbered among the "scarce" publications, only to be obtained from antiquarian book dealers, and at the sales of libraries.
Among the many kind letters which members of the com- mittee received from various sources, none were more gratifying than one written by Baron von Humboldt, March 12, 1859, in which he says, after acknowledging the receipt of a copy of the report: "The scientific analysis of the celebrated inscription of Rosetta, which, despite the confusion of the hieroglyphic style, remains an historic monument of great importance, has appeared to me especially worthy of praise, since it offers the first essay at independent investigation offered by the litterateur of the New Continent. It is for this national reason that I espe- cially greet this independent work." Speaking further of "the so conscientious work of the learned committee of the Philomathean Society," he goes on to say: "The picturesque ornaments added by Mr. Henry Morton add to the interest inspired by a work well worthy to be widely spread in your learned and free country. I pray Mr. Charles R. Hale to receive with kindness the homage of my sentiments of high and affectionate consideration."
68
In view of the rarity of the Rosetta Stone Report, it may be well to say here that the Rosetta Stone is a slab of granite bearing three inscriptions: one in Hieroglyphics, or the language of the priests; one in Demotic, or the language of the people, used in common life and for commercial transactions in ancient Egypt; and one in Greek. This slab was found near the town of Rosetta, on one of the mouths of the Nile, hence its name. In substance, it is a set of resolutions or vote of thanks passed by the priests, assembled on some occasion at Memphis about 200 B.C., in honor of Ptolemy Epiphanes. It recites the virtues of this king, some of the events of his reign, and decrees divine honors to him and his parents. Finally it provides for its own publication, as is usual nowadays, by ordering that copies shall be set up in all the temples of Egypt. The slab or tablet is about 3 feet high, 2 feet 5 inches wide, and from 6 to 12 inches thick, being very irregular at the back. On its face are engraved 14 lines of Hieroglyphic text, 32 lines of Demotic text, and 52 lines of Greek text, each expressing in its own way the same subject matter. The original stone is preserved in the British Museum.

PUBLICATIONS
OF
THE PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY
PUBLICATIONS OF THE PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY
Philo was founded long before the days of undergraduate publications at Pennsylvania. In 1813 there was no daily Pennsylvania!*, nor were there such monthly magazines as the Red and Blue and the Punch Bowl. Instead, the exercise of the journalistic talent of the undergraduates was restricted to such as were fortunate enough to be members of Philo. These found plenty of opportunity in the unpublished magazines, Papers in the Box and Reviews, written out and preserved in manuscript form. In the earlier days of the Society, originality was not as highly valued as it is today; the literary exercises consisted more of readings and extracts from speeches of famous orators than of original declamations such as today are the principal part of the literary program. Consequently it would seem as though the members in the early days were not particularly proud of their accomplishments or else that they were more modest than we are today. A careful examination of the minutes, however, has led the editors to think that Philomatheans have been very much the same during these hundred years and that perhaps it was fear of the reception of their works, rather than any modesty, that led the early members to make most of their original compositions anonymous.
However this may be, the fact remains that many literary gems that have been preserved for us are without the names of their authors. Such masterpieces as the Ripto Sl^ipto Peedle Dum, edited by Messrs. Blind Bat, Smike-yer-Pope, Bag-o- Grease, Blow-Hard, etc. Ho Neos Diabolos, edited by Scullion Pint-Pot and Solly Swallow-Bug, and The Philomathean Jr. and Weekly Sockdolager are still preserved in the Philomathean
73
Library. The Sockdolager seems to have had but one number which contains this choice bit:

During the years of 1848-51 J. Cheston Morris and John Helmuth, both of '51, edited a magazine which they called the Mummy Monster. It contained clever bits of satire on the members and on the professors as well. In the winter of 1913 Dr. Morris came up to one of the Society's meetings and pre- sented the library with an almost complete set of Mummy Monsters.
The Review is the oldest Philo tradition and it is still pre- served; it was originally a magazine edited and read before each meeting by the "Review Committee/' Copies of the Review as early as 1 828 are to be found in the Philo Library, and some of these contain excellent bits of poetry and sketches, such as appear in the monthly magazines of our modern colleges. As time went on the Review changed form due to an increase of literary endeavor which found expression in various other Philo magazines. The Review gradually grew to be a humorous satire in poetry of the events of each meeting, and was read as a part of the Literary Exercises every Friday night for the entertainment of the Society. It was not unusual for the reviewer to exercise the utmost license. A great many of these later Reviews have been kept and have been a valuable supplement to the "minutes." Today it is customary for a particulary good review to be incorporated in the minutes of the meeting.
74
The first regular college publication that the editors have been able to discover is the University Magazine published in 1843. It must not be confused with another magazine with the same title which ran in the seventies and eighties. The first University Magazine apparently existed for only one year and was purely literary, — in fact so purely literary, that the only indica- tion that the publication was at all connected with the University was on the title page: The University Magazine Edited by a com- mittee of the Philomathean and Zelosophic Societies of the University of Pennsylvania. One volume, that of the year 1843, survives in the Philomathean Library, and as it contains not a single item relating to the student body it has no special interest for us.
In the fall of 1 875 there appeared the first college publication at Pennsylvania which had for its sole object student news. The University Magazine published monthly by the Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania came out in November of 1875 and seemed to disregard absolutely the existence of the previous magazine of the same name, and marked its first num- ber "Vol. 1. No. 1." A committee of Philomatheans had the magazine in charge, and it was devoted solely to students' inter- ests. The first editorial mentioned the long-felt need for some organ in which the views and opinions of undergraduates could be expressed, and it frankly asserted that it was not "the Maga- zine's intention to give any deep, solemn, political, financial or mercantile information," but rather to contain news relative to college life. Throughout its existence, from 1875 to 1885, the Magazine gave a faithful record of events at the University. The bound volumes which are complete in the Philomathean Library have been of no little assistance to the editors in piecing out the minutes of the Society. Of course the editors of the Magazine were entirely Philomatheans and the editorial page announced the fact that the periodical owed its existence to the Society. But as the University "grew up" the Magazine could
75
not fairly be said to be representative, as Philo has seldom had more than fifty members (at present she is limited to that) while there were nearly a thousand students at the University. So Philo consented to give up the publication of the Magazine upon condition that another publication should at once be started by the undergraduate body. The public spirited attitude of Philo and her generosity in thus giving up one of her chief functions was commended in the first number of the Pennsykanian.
Of other publications Philo has produced quite a number. Many of the speeches and biennial orations which have from time to time been delivered before the Society have been published and are preserved in the Philomathean Library; a list of these is appended to this article, together with as complete a list of the formal orations which have been delivered before the Society as it has been possible to get together. Bound up with some of these old orations are copies of The University, a magazine edited by Henry Budd and Charles Ziegler in 1869. It was partly devoted to the usual articles of fiction and partly to the under- graduate news and editorials on college subjects. Bound up like- wise with these are old commencement programs and an invitation to the University Commencement of 1816.
Accounts of the fiftieth and seventy-fifth anniversary cele- brations were published and are carefully preserved. An address by Dr. Cruse, the first Moderator, is printed in the account of the Semi-Centennial and has been reprinted in the present volume.
The most celebrated of Philo's publications is that of the report of the committee appointed to translate the Rosetta Stone. This is of such significance that it is discussed at greater length elsewhere in this volume.
In 1896 another very creditable piece of translation was done by a committee composed of Edmund J. Burk, '95; Jasper Y. Brinton, '98; John C. Hinckley, '96; and Arthur E. Weil, '96, who were appointed to translate the "De Mysteriis" of Andocides.
76
The idea of publishing such a translation was due entirely to the committee in charge and their work was highly commended by Professor Lamberton, the head of the Department of Greek, who gave the gentlemen full credit for their ideas and the industry they displayed. This work was published by Philo, and two copies are on the shelves of the Philomathean Library.

PHILOMATHEAN DEBATES
PHILOMATHEAN INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATES
We cannot imagine what Philo would be without her debat- ing. If there is anything she has made a point of doing and succeeded in doing besides turning out notable men, it has been to turn out notable debaters. Her foremost activity has been word-fights. What noise and smoke of frightful battle have ever been more fierce than her debates with Zelo? It seems that the chief good Zelo has done has been to supply us with hot contests. It seems that those unfortunate members who were with us before these contests started have missed their grandest opportunities to saw the air and rouse the dormant echoes to surprised applause.
But not only with her neighbor does Philo like to argue: she had enlarged her field till it has extended from North Carolina in the South to New York in the North. One of the most famous of our debates is the one we hold with our worthy contemporaries in Columbia University — The Philolexian Society. Yet even an organization so venerable has bowed under our weighty words in four times out of five.
The men on the Philo teams have had a good time of it, but they also have had hard work of it; they have added much of glory to our annals. They have beaten Zelo three more times than Zelo has beaten them; and by that, if by nothing else, they have earned the right to have their mighty accomplishments and their manful attempts recorded.

THE WINNERS OF THE PHILO PRIZES
It has been the custom of the Society, for many years, to offer prizes to those of its members who have participated in contests in debating, essay writing and oratory held in the Society. The method of conducting these contests has been changed from time to time with the changes in the constitution and by-laws— but in the main it has consisted of money prizes awarded by the Society upon the decision of a board of judges — usually com- posed of senior members of Philo in the faculty. An examination of the numerous old constitutions in the Philomathean Library will explain why the number of prizes has varied so from year to year.
These prize contests certainly existed as early as 1871 and the prize-winners from that date to 1 91 3 are here given. Previous to 1871 there are no records of prizes awarded, but the system seems to have grown from the "Philomathean Exhibitions/' which were given as early as 1814 and were participated in by members elected for that purpose. The public was invited to these "Exhibitions" and they consisted mainly of orations.
The editors have compiled this list, partly because it is his- tory and partly because the men who won these prizes are those who have done hard work in Philo and whose performances in the Society, as illustrated elsewhere in this book, are here explained by their activity in these lines of Philomathean endeavor.

"AFTER THE FIGHT"
Most garrets contain curiosities and the region immediately beneath the roof of College Hall is no exception to this rule. More than one visitor who has panted to the library of the Philomathean Society has seen there, among many other relics and memorials of bygone days at Pennsylvania, an old bowl upon whose battered inner surface are painted six fraternity emblems surrounding the picture of a dejected-looking rooster labeled "After the Fight." In those days a bowl fight was not the artificial, prearranged, cut- and-dried affair that it is today. There were no "fight-marshals" paid by souvenirs which the man paying the bill is told to con- tribute to the umbrella stand of upper-classmen that someone else has chosen. There were no rules and no halves; no judges of "bowl-fight ethics" and no time-keepers; no definite limits and no chance of finishing the fight in the short space of time it takes the bowl man to run the length of Franklin Field; there was not a portion of both classes on the side lines and another blase group discoursing upon the "relic of barbarism" and the "childish nonsense." There were no comments such as "Excuse me, I thought you were a Freshman," or "Are you a Sophomore?"
In the fight in which the old bowl, to which the Philomathean Society has a better right than the owner of any bowl before or since, played a part, there were two homogeneous groups that knew what they were fighting for and fought until they got it or were defeated. For this was the bowl of the Class of 1882 and it has probably been the subject of more contests of different kinds than any other bowl in the history of the University of Pennsylvania. After having been kept intact by the Class of Eighty-two, on the day of the bowl fight, December 24, 1879,
123
it was presented on January 1 6, 1 880, to the Philomathean Society by the members of the class who were also members of Philo — Gustavus Remak, Thomas D. Finletter, J. Campbell Lancaster and others. It remained there during the succeeding year. It was not an object of satisfaction to the class that had not succeeded in breaking it; and they abused it on all occasions. Eighty-two's Class Record in an account, rather irreverently written in Biblical style, speaks of this controversy, as follows :
"3. They set up a bowl which should be as a sign of their victory. . . 5. But the Fresh seeing it were grieved, and counseled in secret how they might take vengeance on the Sophites. 6. One warrior of the Fresh. . . did make mock of the bowl, which the men of the Sophs had set up and did despitefully use it. 7. And in the twelfth month when the snow covered the earth he did liken it to a sled and did slide therein."
Eighty-two resolved to defend their bowl from this ill- treatment. So on December 23, 1881, William M. Hornor, of '82, made a motion at a meeting of the Society to return the bowl to the Class of Eighty-two. Logan M. Bullitt and Charles Y. Audenried headed the Eighty-three host in the controversy that followed. They saw that they were in the minority, and as a number of years before the Democratic minority in Speaker Reed's House of Representatives had made the same move on a larger chess-board, they resolved to refuse to answer the roll-call on Hornor's motion and hoped thus to break a quorum. The Eighty-two men were not to be outdone. They anticipated Czar Reed's famous ruling that a quorum if present should be counted whether answering or not. The Moderator, Remak, ordered the doors closed and counted the silent Eight-three men as present, for the purpose of making a quorum; and the motion was carried and the possession of the bowl delivered to Eighty-two.
But Logan Bullitt gave an early display of the fondness for injunction and equity suits which he afterward displayed
124
against city contractors and filed a Bill in Equity in the Court of Common Pleas No. 1 to regain possession of the bowl. The case is entitled "Beaseley et al. vs. Allyn et a/." and can be found in the Court Records of Philadelphia County, December term, 1881 , No. 882. Beaseley's "d air were the Eighty-three men who were members of Philo and Allyn's "et al." were the whole class of Eighty-two. William M. Hornor was duly appointed by the Orphans' Court "guardian ad litem" for such of the Eighty-two men as were under twenty-one years of age, and John R. Moses for the Eighty-three men. They were both members of Philo and were ever afterward regarded as the parents of their classes. Francis A. Lewis, Esq., an alumnus of Philo, was counsel for Eighty-three, and H. Laussatt Geyelin, another senior member of Philo and now president of the University of Pennsylvania Athletic Association, together with E. Copee Mitchell, for Eighty- two. Eighty-two's object was now to prolong the legal contest until after Class Day — so that the bowl could be displayed on that occasion. Their attorneys, therefore, filed a demurrer to Bullitt's bill on the ground that it was "frivolous," that the bowl had no intrinsic value, and that the whole affair was "de minimis" This demurrer was argued before the Court in Bane, Judges Allison, Peirce and Biddle, and on July 8, 1 882, President Judge Allison delivered the opinion of the Court. It is reported in the Weekly Notice of Cases, volume XII, page 90. The Court decided that if the bowl was worth fighting for — it was worth the attention of the Court. By this time, however, Class Day had passed, and Eighty-two had had their bowl then; so the case was settled to the satisfaction of Eighty-three as well, upon the under- standing that Eighty-two would return the bowl to Philo and upon the other hand, that Philo would preserve it carefully from injury for all time.
Today, guests at Philo smokers see it filled with tobacco and cigarettes, but its most important service is rendered on Senior
125
Night. The last meeting before the Philomathean Commence- ment is given up to festivities and the bowl is placed upon a table while a Freshman climbs into it. The Freshman then delivers a speech upon the Senior Class while the Censores Morum revolve the bowl. By the time the Freshman reaches his peroration he thinks he is seeing all four sides of the room at once. Later the bowl is put back in its accustomed place between the book-cases and is kept from all harm until the next year.

THE PHILOMATHEAN PLAYS
THE PHILO PLAYS
Dramatic productions are Philo's most recently instituted form of activity. The Philo plays owe their existence to two factors which have many times been active in the Society. One is lack of funds which has always made the members work when all else has failed, while the other is that which Philo alone of all the organized groups at the University seems to foster for its own sake: a love of old things. It was not the purpose of the Society to compete with that Dramatic Organization at the University whose productions are famous throughout the college world and whose unbroken line of success has put Pennsyl- vania far in advance of every other college in the field of dramatic productions. Even hostile critics are forced to acknowledge the superiority of the Mask and Wig Play. But the Mask and Wig Club has confined itself to the production of comic opera and left to other hands the task of reviving the good things of former years.
In 1904 the Ben Greet Company came to the University and gave some of its famous Shakespearean plays in the Botanical Gardens of the University. This was done under the joint auspices of the Zelosophic and Philomathean Societies and the affair was managed by a committee of which Walter C. Pugh, '04, of Philo, was the chairman. A graded terrace in the Gardens furnished an ideal stage, while the arrangement of the trees and the thickly planted shrubbery formed a background and wings with exits and entrances which were as naturally as they were conveniently located. Since 1904 both the Ben Greet Company and the Coburn Players have visited Pennsylvania and given
129
difficult by some thirty entrances in the course of the play. N. R. C. Fretz, '15, as "Dol," so cleverly concealed his sex that the play was more than half over when a lady in the audience in utter surprise exclaimed, "Why, it's a boy!"
Philo considers these plays worth while, irrespective of financial, educational and artistic considerations, because of their value in preserving that old Pennsylvania spirit, so difficult to keep alive in this day when little respect is paid by the under- graduate to things that are old.

FOREWORD
The following catalogue unfortunately cannot claim to be a standard authority in the sense the editors had hoped to make it. It can, however, boast a conscientious effort made to give it whatever degree of authority it was possible to gain from available sources. Innumerable mistakes have been corrected by the editors both in their primary and secondary sources, although undoubtedly at the same time many errors have been committed.
The abbreviations are self-explanatory. An asterisk before a name indicates that the member is deceased.
The editors have conducted their search for biographical material as thoroughly as possible. Not only have urgent letters been written to every living alumnus, but every possible source of Philomathean history has been examined. The Matriculates Catalogue of the University (published 1892) has supplied a large part of the information previous to the graduation of the Class of 1884. The sources of information for the later classes are, however, very scanty, particularly in the case of those who failed to answer the circular letters.
Generally speaking, the dates of births and deaths have been carefully preserved, but accomplishments and like items of importance seem to have been regarded as unworthy of record. As a result some of the records are not as complete as the editors could have desired them to be. Such of the five and ten year books published by the different classes as were available have rendered the editors invaluable assistance. The editors are greatly indebted to those Senior members whose voluntary communications have supplied in many cases material which
143
otherwise would have been impossible for the editors to obtain. Beyond these sources the editors realize with regret how far from accurate and complete their work is; and yet they feel that their efforts have not been altogether fruitless, faulty though the result may be; and they hope that the difficulties under which they have labored will receive due consideration. The editors desire to thank Dr. Ewing Jordan, '68, for his kindness in giving helpful suggestions and in examining the proof.
