 Literary Societies 
 
 The Literary Societies are an important factor in college 
 life whether considered from the literary, parliamentary or 
 social point of view. Lenox has two flourishing societies, the 
 Athenian and Clayonian. They have their own halls which 
 are tastily decorated and nicely furnished, including pianos. 
 They hold an annual inter-society debate for the Faculty De- 
 bating Cup, which is held by the successful society for one 
 year, when it is again contested for. The society securing it 
 three times will hold it as a permanent trophy. A cast of 
 President Lincoln will hereafter be awarded on the same con- 
 ditions as the cup to the society whose orator wins in the an- 
 nual oratorical contest held by the societies.

 “First in War’’ 
 
 This monument erected on the campus to Civil War heroes who went from 
 Lenox College and the vicinity, is the oldest of its kind in the United States. Stu-

 At last the president and all of the students in attendance, but one (a youth of 
 twelve) enlisted.

 V. W. C. A. Cabinet. 
 
 A high standard of religious life has characterized the history of this institution. The first college Y. M. C. A. 
 in Iowa, was organized in Lenox and the second college Y. W. C. A. in the United States, so far as we have ever been 
 able to learn, was organized by our young women. 
 
 The institution is not sectarian in any sense, but it is thoroughly Christian and constantly holds up the highest ideals 
 of moral and religious life.

 This department will be opened Sept. 7, 1 909, 
 headed by Prof. C. N. Evans. Mr. Evans was raised 
 on a farm, was graduated from an agricultural col-
