Clariosophic Society
Shortly after the opening of
the South Carolina College in
1805 the students formed a liter
ary society, to which was given
the name Philomathic. In Feb
ruary, 1806, two societies were
established, the Euphradian and
the Clariosophic. Two brothers.
James and Joseph Lowry acted
as "captains"in the division of
the student body. James Lowry
selected the roll, twenty-four
members, of the Clariosophic
Society. His portrait, presented
by Judge Joshua H. Hudson,
now hangs in the society's hall.
Both societies met for four
teen years in the chapel, alter
nately after dinner and after
supper. In 1820 the Clariosophic
began to meet in a hall over the
chapel, and in the same year had
themselves incorporated.
A badge of blue ribbon on the
arm between the elbow and
wrist was chosen in 1806. The
seal was adopted in 1808: "Hope
the soother of the various dis
tresses of life, represented as a
goddess with a bud just open
ing in her hand, promising some
thing blooming and pleasing
after the gloom and chilliness of
winter. The bud opening with
the morn promises to display its
luxuriant beauty gradually as
the sun rises higher in the heav
ens. "' The diploma written in
Latin was adopted in 1810. The
form of the stand as now used
was adopted in 1821.
In 1813 the society began to
maintain one indigent member,
who had to be at least seventeen
years of age and able to enter
the junior class. The money,
$200 per annum, came from the
treasury as far as possible; when
that failed, the imembers made
individual contributions.
After Dr. Maxcy's death the
Clariosophic Society began to
colleet finds to erect a monu
ment to his memory, the monu
m'ent, in the center of the cam
pus. (George Mel)mfie wrote
the inscription in E,nglish, which
Professor Henry turned into
Latin. Robert Mills designed
the monument, which was un
veiled in 1827.
When Legare College was
completed, the (lariosophie So
eiety was given the upper story
of the center building as a place
for its meetings. Professor
llenry, "the scholar, "delivered
the address at the formal open
ng. February 10, 1849.
In the early part of' 1862 the
society eeasedl to perform its
functions; it was revived again
in 1866 with a very small mem
bership. [During the negro con
trol its halls were used and the
name continuedl by the colored
studlents. From 1877 to 1882 the
UJniversi ty was closed. When
the South Carolina College was
re-organized in 1882, the society
began again to enrich the life of
the campus.
Mr. William Heyward, one of
last year's law graduates, and
Mr. Nettles Lindsey, who used
to be among us, were in Colum
bia for the dance.
