Literary and Social Activities Promoted by Astros and Phis There are at Meredith two literary societies, the Philaretlan and the Astro- tekton, one of which each new girl at Meredith joins after having become acciuainted with the activities and members of both. There is always the keenest of competition between the two societies, and new girls are "rushed" until the date of choosing, which must be by the flrst Saturday in October. The purpose ot the two societies is to bring the students together In a literary and social way. The societies sponsor individuality in expression in loth these flelds. Each year the Philaretlan society of- I'ers the Minnie Jackson Bowling uedul, and the Astrotekton Society offers tlie Carter-Upchurch medal for the most outstanding literary achievement of the year made by the respective sosl- etles.
