| Biography/History | "The Athenian Society first came into existence in College Hall at the North Dakota Agricultural College, on the 14th day of October, 1892. Its purpose concisely given in the words of the preamble 'Shall be general literary culture, and the improvement of its members in the art of composition, oratory and parliamentary practice.'" In 1896, due to the increase of students, it was necessary to create another literary society to accommodate all who were interested, so, on February 28, 1896, The Philomathian, was created. "Naturally a friendly rivalry sprang up between the two and has caused each one to exert itself to out-do the other in the quality of work. To encourage these efforts President Worst and Dr. Hinebauch offered a gold and silver medal as first and second prizes ti the be best declaimers, the winners to be determined as an annual contest between representatives from each society." |
