  • A History of the Philomathean Society
    i i "f . A HISTORY OF THE Philomathean Society (FOUNDED 1813) WITH A SHORT BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF ALL HER MEMBERS FROM 181 3 TO 1892. Philadelphia. AviL Printing Company. 1892. c.-t'l^..'' Infpoburfopg- It might be well to say, in the beginning of this little book, that the committee in charge of its publication has labored under more than ordi- nary difficulties. The work was originally planned out by the Class of '89, and was intended to be entirely the task of that body. It failed of completion, however, and for several years the whole work has lain dormant, while committee after committee has been appointed, only to be discharged without the publication of the much-heard-of Record. At one time some promise of real work was hoped for when the committee for 1891 was appointed. They labored for some days on the manuscript, until finally the work had to be thrown over on account of the pressure of college work. The present committee, realizing, at last, the burden that this unfinished work was upon Philo, and the obligation the Society was under to complete the publication, have made strenuous efl!brts towards this end, and are glad now to be able to report the completion of the Phi- lomathean Record. The work has been enormous, and would have been impossible without the distinguished aid of several of Philo's loyal gradu- ate members. We are especially indebted to Dr. Frazer, whose kindly assistance and co-operation, in every manner possible, have done much in putting us in a position to complete our difficult task.
