Student Organizations and Activities LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC 179 Of the organizations formed for literary purposes the most comprehensive are the Adelphic, Philomathean and Ionian societies for men and the Alethenai, Uliola, Athenian, Gregorian and Jamesonian for women. These meet weekly for programs which include oratory, debates, declamations, extemporaneous speaking, and music. Each of the men's societies, in conjunction with one of the women's societies, presents a play annually. The Star Course, a series of entertainments including addresses, concerts and dramatic performances, is conducted under the direction of the Adelphic and Philomathean societies.
