The Off-Hour OVERTURE By Nathalia Niebelungen (Aged forty-three at very least). The Insignia Committee has rewarded our boys, The ones who hurl shot puts and boot spirals; Some of them were honored with letters And some received numerals. All the best people will be at the Soph Hop, To Earl Hall tomorrow they will meander; They couldn't get Helen Ford as sponsor, But succeeded in obtaining Mrs. Rhinelander. The Philolexian Show was a howling success, Spectator featured it as a headliner; We've been Thurston for a good play all Winter, But nothing could be Feiner. No, Queer Companions, this is not AMM broadcasting . AMM is over on page three with the mentors and the matmen, but he'll be back tomorrow and all of you will once again be able to obtain the Maximum of enjoyment out of these wide open spaces. And now, after the storm the column. TRIOLET You really must come over! Do! I've…

Columbia College Today — vol. 9 (c. 1962), letter to the editor by James Warner Bellah '23
In the fall of 1922, a mysterious box on the front page of Spectator read 'Philolexian Society—J. W. Bellah '23, E. Finch '23, B. A. Simon '23, O. C. Walker '24, A. Baruth '25, J. C. Gephart '25, J. Philips '25, and L. D. Weaver '25.' We signed the society scroll, said to be a lineal descendant of an older literary society's scroll which is purported to hold the names of John Jay, Alexander Hamilton and Gouverneur Morris. In due course we were invested with our tiny Columbia-blue and gold crosses with the legend 'Surgam,' rendered loosely into English by Mr. Gephart as 'I am growing better and better every day in every way.'... We were all fiercely and practically literary like our favorite professors... Judson Philips '23 was publishing stark drama in magazines he hoped his mother wouldn't see. Cornell Woolrich '25 had topped that Irish fellow from Princeton by writing his…
Named in Bellah's letter to CCT as one of the fall-1922 Philolexian inductees / active members. Named as 'Corey Ford '23... writing playlets, most of which carried directions like At this point three men named Nicholas Murray Butler enter from stage left and exit on stage right—for no reason whatever.'
