Organized in 1834, the Phi Delta Society dissolved in the Late 1930’s. It was the traditional rival of the Ciceronian Society, a rivalry which will be re vived. Bone comment the Ciceroni. The reorganization came 'about when Bone called a meeting of the Ciceronian Society, thinking that the Ciceronians had fallen apart. On learning that the old Ciceronian organization was still functioning under acting president Bill Dayton, it was decided that Mercer would benefit more from reviving the Phi Delta Society than from merging ibe two Ciceronian organizations. It was also agreed that the two •ocieties would debate lome liter- »ry topics in the near future. At his organizational meeting. Bone set up committees to draw up • new constitution ond to select •opics and books for discussion. rbe Phi Delta and Ciceronian *°eieties were formed when the Franklin Literary Society dissolved •>> 1834 at Penfield. In the early b°fh societies had largo buildings, private libraries and were the center of literary and for- emic life at Mercer. In Penfield dayi^ Hasses were suspended and people citrm^from miles around to hear the Ciceronians and Phi Del tas debate literary (opics like "Was Brutu* Justified in Killing Cae sar?” and political ones like "Should Terns he Admitted to the Union?” Both societies had large num bers of honorary members. Robert E. Lee was an honorary Phi Delta and President Jefferson Davis was on honorary Ciceronian. The ar chive* room in the Stetson Library contains many of the societies’ ac ceptance letters from such members as well n* old minute* from the or ganizations. In 1903, the two societies placed their extensive libraries in the Mercer Library, on permanent loan. Continued on page 6, Col.
