Philomathean 1909
Lebanon University
(successor to National Normal University)

Source:	The Biles-Roll Photo Collection at the Warren County Genealogical Society
Comments:	The name "Philomathean" comes from two Greek words, (philos: "love") and (mathos: "something which is learned") or "love of knowledge." Perhaps the group is a literary or debating society/sorority
