LORCH ANNOUNCES CHOICE OF GROUP TO HEAD '27 SHOW Class President Appoints Breiner Chairman of Soph Play Committee. MANAGER ISSUES CALL FOR NEW MANUSCRIPTS Lynch, '26 Chairman, Will Assist Production —Committee Meets Tuesday. Plans for the 1927 Sophomore Show began to take definite form yesterday when John Lorch, President of the Sophomore Class, appointed Charles V.' Breiner as Chairman of the Executive Committee in charge of the production. Breiner has named six other second year men to assist him in the organization of the show. At the same time he issued a call for more manuscripts. "We have already received several plays suitable for production," he stated last night, "but before a definite selection is made the committee feels that a greater number ought to be on hand from which to make a choice. The Soph Show is traditionally something in the nature of a farce,…

Columbia College Today & other articles

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 both 'J. Philips '25' (fall 1922 inductee) and 'Judson Philips '23' publishing 'stark drama in magazines he hoped his mother wouldn't see'. The two class-years suggest an OCR/typographical variant; our roll's CC 1925 is consistent with the induction-list class.
