I was happy to read Thomas Vinciguerra '85's article on Philolexian ... Although there is some controversy, I believe Philolexian may be the oldest college literary society in the country, being founded in 1802. According to the 1925 Columbian it 'enjoys the distinction of being the only society of its kind in America to have enjoyed so long a life.'... As I look back it seems to me that the members of Philo considered themselves the intellectual elite of the campus, and among my contemporaries, in addition to those mentioned in your article, there were such distinguished members as Elliot Bell, fencing champion and widely known economist and government official; Dwight C. Miner, selected as one of the College's outstanding teachers; Hugh J. Kelly, senior vice president of McGraw-Hill; Ferdie Kuhn, Jr., renowned foreign newspaper columnist; Phil Thurston, a judge of the New York City…

Letter to the editor from Frank R. Pitt '28 lists his Philolexian contemporaries by name and distinction. This confirms Society membership for: Elliot Bell '25, Dwight C. Miner '26, Hugh J. Kelly '26, Ferdinand Kuhn Jr. '25, Phil Thurston '27, William Tindall '25, Ivan Veit '28, Warner Mendel '27, and Robert Schnitzer '27. Also affirms 'the members of Philo considered themselves the intellectual elite of the campus.' Also confirms the Society's Thursday-evening meetings, weekly dinners, annual banquet, quadrennial oration (winner rewarded with a bronze bust of George Washington), and the 'jocoserious' approach in the late 1920s and 30s.
