Clarios CeIel
132nd Anniv
By Harold Prince cl
Celebrating the one hundred and c
thirty-second anniversary of the found
ing of literary societies on the Univer
sity campus, the Clariosophic Literary
society was addressed by Prof. J.
Wiley Brown, attorney-at-law in Co- n'
lumbia, instructor in English at the
University, and former member of the m
House of Representatives, Tuesday tr
night.
Brown, who was graduated from the ti
University two years ago, was an ac- n
tive member of the Clariosophic so- e:
ciety, and was introduced by Sidney b'
Duncan, president, as a "true son of ai
Carolina." n
"One week after I entered the Uni- 51
versity, I joined the Clariosophic Lit- 11
crary society, and although I -never
met the man who proposed my name pi
for membership, I consider him one of st
my best friends," declared Prof. Brown irl
in his opening remarks. ci
"I consider the training I received ai
in the literary society one of the most gi
valuable parts of my college training," na
he continued. di
Literary societies began at Carolina
in 1805 when the parent society was be
organized by the student body of s<
South Carolina college and called the B
Phbilomathic club, according to Brown. e,
"After a brief existence, this club ir
was dissolved and on February 6, 1806, ij
James and Joseph Lowry, two broth
ers from Fairfield County, tossed a el
coin in the middle of the campus and
picked members of their societies from
all the students at the college," the "~
speaker said.
Twenty-two men were initiated atB
the first meeting which was held in C
the chapel. The query for debate was.
"Are all men susceptible of improve- md
ment?" l
In 1820 the two societies applied for e'
new rooms and were moved above the al
