Biographical notes:

The literary societies at Centre College began with the formation in 1828 of the Chamberlain Philosophical and Literary Society, named in honor of the College's first President, Rev. Jeremiah Chamberlain. The Society apparently died out around 1927, but then was revived around 1939 for only two years.The Deinologian Literary Society was founded in 1835 by students who were dismayed with the Chamberlain Society, and continued in existence until about 1940. The Athenaean Literary Society was an offshoot of the Deinologian Society. Little information is available, but apparently it did participate in annual celebrations.The Agore Adelphon Literary Society was established circa 1855. The organization changed its name early in 1857 from Agore Adelphon to Philo Logoi Society. It was apparently not particularly strong, and very little information remains.
