Euphradian Society.
When the Philomathic Society,
which was the fErst society form
ed at the new founded South Car
olina College and existed for one
year, was reorganized into two
societies in February, 1806, and
the two brothers, James and Jos
eph Lowry, were chosen to make
the division of the students,
Joseph Lowry pick-d the mem
bers of the society that was to be
called the Euphradian. As the
early minutes of the society are
lost, nothing is known about the
selection of the name.
William Harper, the first ma
triculate of the college was the
first president of the Euphradian
Society. Under the first consti
tution the officers were presi
dent, vice-president, secretary,
treasurer, recorder, and four;
critics. The badge of the society
was a six-pointed star of gold
with the year 1806, the Greek
letters "Phi Alpha Epsilon, "and
the motto, "Amicitiae Sacrum.'"
The mystic stand was adopted in
1815.
Like its sister society, the Clar
iosophic, the Euphradian paid the
expenses of a certain number of
beneficiary student-.
The two socie.ties met at differ
ent hours in the hapel until 1820.
In this year the Euphradians
moved into a hall of their own on
the upper floor of the center
building of DeSaussure. Twenty
eight years later they moved a
gain, this time into the hall that
they still occupy. There was a
formal opening December 7, 1848,
at which Dr. James H. Thornwell
made the address. "The hall
was then," remarked Judge HUd
son of his first entrance into the
society, "newly furnished and
equipped and presented a beauti
ful, brilliant, imposing appear
ance. The impression upon a
boy from the back country upon,
beholding the gaudy and dazzling
spectacle was simply over whelm
ilg.
Judge Hudson also said that'
for decorum, dignity, and order
ly transaction of business the
Euphradian Society was not sur-:
passed by the Senate or House of
Representatives of South Caro
lina. This society was nearly as,
large as the House of Represent-'
atives.
To quote further from this dis
tinguished Euphradian, "For
many years it is said that there
was great rivalry between the
two societies in securing recuits
.from the newly matriculated stu
dents, but as time rolled on it
came to pass that the society a
studen~t joined upon his entering
college was determined by the
district (county) from which he
came, for the districts (counties)
of the state became divided near-'
ly equally between Euphradian
and Clariosophie. The student
