LITERARY SOCIETIES .
For a University in the land, whence came so many brilliant orators in i
past years, "State" has little interest shown in this noble art, but through the -
enterprise of some faculty men and students a new interest is being awakened
and it seems that Kentucky’s Own University may once again produce orators,  
who shall be stars of the first magnitude. Weekly meetings are held by the ·
1 literary societies now in the University at which regular programs are given. {
i UNION LITERARY SOCIETY. p
i In 1872 by the consolidation of the Yost Club and the Ashland Institute, e 1
the Union Literary Society which has a charter granted by the General —
Assembly, was formed. It now holds regular meetings in the society room , ‘
in the Alumni Hall. E
PATTERSON LITERARY SOCIETY. J
At the suggestion of Governor Knott the Patterson Society was founded ,
‘ in 1887, and named in honor of the President of the University, jas. K. Pat- Q
j terson. Meetings are held in the society room in Alumni Hall. ’
A PHILOSOPI-IIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. ,
Q Founded in 1882 this society for young women was for a few years  
' inactive but was revived later and now is one of the leading societies in the _’ _
University. It has a large membership and much interest is taken in the ,`
; meetings held weekly at Patterson Hall. The society now has a well fitted P.
  room in the Hall for the use of its members.  
§ . Homes MANN.  
. This society is principally for those who are in the School of Education,  
‘ and its meetings are usually devoted to a discussion of topics of interest in  "
` such work. However, the interest shown is unusual, and it has been said E
l that this society is in a more prosperous condition than any other society in »
; the University. It is educational.
