INTENSE RIVALRY
Literary Organizations
Hold Lasting Memories
By JIM WINTON
(Editor's Notk: This i.v the last article about the University's two
literary societies—Demosthcnian and Phi Kappa.)
This series has tried to explore the past of a glorious ele
ment in our University’s history—its literary societies. Phi
Kappa and Demosthcnian were born in opposition to each
other for the purpose of intellectual betterment.
In an age when athletics and fraternities were unknown
at Franklin College, the literary societies gave the students
an outlet for their energy and interest which no other part
of the I'niversity could command.
The intense rivalry of the two societies often spilled out
of the halls of orator onto the campus grounds. Here the
two organizations set aside the milder form of verbal con
flict for the more convincing realm of fistic contact. But
it was always in the name of society loyalty.
Upon graduation the Demosthenians and Phi Kappa
might forget their old professors, their classrooms and text
books but few ever forgot their old society halls. Scientists,
statesmen, judges, preachers and planters all agreed on
this point. Joseph LeConte, years after his days at Frank
lin College, recalled in his busy career at the University
of California that he had never seen literary societies equal
to those of his student days.
As one Demosthenian said in 1839, “To me the name
Demosthcnian is fraught with the most happy associa
tions; and the most pleasurable recollections of my life are
identified with the Hall.”
In 1848, only four years after he had left Franklin Col
lege Benjamin H. Hill said, “There, .in that hall, is the
sweetest haunt of memory and often will mind relax her
efforts from the pursuit of worldly cares and fondly pond
er over the hours of youthful struggle and early contest.
Times and things may change but the heart will ever
cling to the idols it once so fondly loved.”

Joe Amwnke (B.S., 1959) is a Sales Engineer with the
Long Lines Department of A.T.&T. Joe supervises five
people who are responsible for the sale of intercity tele
phone services in the state of Alabama. Quite a responsi
bility for a man who’s been in the business only three years.
Joe had demonstrated on earlier assignments that he
could handle responsibility. For instance, on his first
telephone job he coordinated the installation of new tele
typewriter services in Detroit. This earned him his job
as Sales Representative where he contacted important net
work television customers, among others. Then came his
latest step up.
Joe Amwake and the other young engineers like him
in Bell Telephone Companies throughout the country help
bring the finest communications service in the world to
the homes and businesses of a growing America.
