Professor Churchill occupied his custom- ary place as toastmaster, and among those upon whom he called were Josiah Quincy, Dr. Jonathan French Stearns, Dr. McKenzie, Dr. Joseph Cook, and Dr. Bancroft. Through the liberality of Mr. Noyes, the society afterwards published a neat pam- phlet containing complete accounts of the addresses, many of which have much historical value. If we are to take the Phillipian as judge, interest in Philo steadily declined under Dr. Bancroft. One reformer in 1878 c...omplains of the poor order in the meetings: — Certain members seem to find greater pleasure in eating and throwing apples at each other than in listening to the speakers. . . . Cutting is disgracefully frequent, and often interferes to a great degree with an evening's proceedings. At the meeting a week ago neither of the debaters were [sic] present, and as there were no substitutes, the debate was necessarily dispensed with. A critic in 1879 speaks of "the disgraceful scenes weekly enacted at what are grossly misnamed the Philo meetings." A Phillipian editorial in 1883 says : — That Philo is on the decline, or, to put it somewhat milder, is at a standstill, is very evident, — results speak for themselves.
