The Philosophian Literary Society was the first literary society at the Missionary Institute, formed soon after the founding of the school in 1858. It was originally named the Athlonon Society. It was re-organized into the Philosophian Society one year later in 1859. It catered primarily to the Classical Department and town students. The Philosophian Society had a Constitution and By-laws. Like the Clio Society which came later, the members wrote the rules of conduct and enforced them with fines.
