The Philomathean Society of Phillips Academy is the second oldest secondary school debate union in the United States. Founded in 1825 the Philomathean Society, familiarly known as "Philo," meets weekly in the historical Debate Room of Bulfinch Hall. The earliest record of Philo's doings, preserved, bears the date January 5, 1825. The Philomathean Society was founded by Horatio B. Hackett and Ray Palmer.〔Ward, Herbert D. The New Senior at Andover, 1890.〕 The Philomathean motto is Scire Est Regere; To Know is to Rule. The name ''Philomathean'' derives from the Ancient Greek for “lover of learning” from ''Φιλειν'' meaning "to love," and ''μάθημα'', meaning “learning.” 〔Woodhouse, S.C. ‘’English-Greek Dictionary: A Vocabulary of the Attic Language’’ (London: George Routledge & Sons, 1910).〕 ==History== The earliest known proceedings of the Philomathean Society were in 1825. At that point the constitution required the members pay an entrance fee and dues of twenty-five cents. Later those fees were raised to a dollar. Now, the club is open to any student of Phillips Academy wishing to participate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Philomathean Society (Phillips Academy)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
