Circa 1912 - 1914, the only dates we could find for that rodeo.

EUGLOSSIAN SOCIETY. "Williard Hall ... Howe ... Payne ... Sphinx ... Hesperian ... Wittenberg ... Harvard ... Morreti" uncaptioned sepia-tone real photo postcard, for whose caption we take the pennants hanging vertically from left-to-right, light oxidation with age, good edges. Showing 10 lady students in similar light & dark attire being addressed under 'The Archibald' sign. What is this assemblage? This is Heidelberg College in Tiffin Ohio, as the name of the hall confirms. The date is the 1912 - 1913 academic year -- the only year that there was an Hesperian literary society at Heidelberg. Those Hesperians broke into 2 literary societies -- the Euglossian Society (colors purple and white) & the Philalethean Society (colors green and gold). Question: Are the young women in the picture wearing green & gold, or purple & white? Easy answer! So what we have in this Eugnique photograph is the very birth of the Euglossian Society, tied-for-oldest fraternal society on the Heidelberg campus today! No one else can show you this. $30.00 o(t)c(h)f

URKP abbreviates Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias, no longer an official auxiliary of Pythianism. Necessarily after 1879 because of the ampersand in the Frechtling name.
