HypatianWi Campus Lite Hypatian Literary Society v campus in 1916. It was the fi literary society for women on The two societies were formed when the then dean of women met with the Hypatians and urged the forming of another organization because of the impetus offered by the competition. There was a need for two societies also as the enroll ment of coeds increased. Semi-monthly meetings are held on Tuesday evenings in the Clario sophic Hall. Debating and all forms of literary work are the funda mental interests of the group. The programs are composed of discus sions and debates among the mem bers, supplemented by several out side speakers who discuss various topics of interest, both in literature and current events. Professor Douglas Carlisle of the political science department spoke to the group this semester on national political party platforms. The society gave its freshman reception in September. The or ganization presents a cup on Awards Day to the graduating senior member who has done the most to further the aims and ideals of the society. The motto of the society is "Phi, Mu, Pho"-Friendship, Culture, and Oratory. The society tries to present an essence of these three qualities in such way, to see that each holds its rightful place, and that no one quality is allowed to over-balance the other two. A "B" in English is prerequisite to membership. The aim of the group is to advance the purposes of useful education by a liberal interchange of ideals upon suitable subjects and to encourage the ac quisition of an agreeable and well ordered elocution. Officers for this semester are: Elizabeth Traylor, president; Rob bie Lou Harper, vice-president; Miriam Matthews, secretary; Mar tha Woodall, treasurer; and Tom mie June Fairey, critic. The societies are planning a forensic tournament this month.
