Happy 200th, Philo!

Hear ye, hear ye! It is on this esteemed date--or possibly tomorrow or the next day--200 years previous, that the first Philomathean donned his first secretive robe in the pursuit of fanciness. While the ritual used to celebrate the birthday is secret, we can only assume it includes wine and bitches.
To celebrate the big 2-0-0, the society is planning a whole host of events open to the public. Their favorite b-day gift so far? a Pennsylvania House of Representatives resolution commemorating their storied oldness. Because yes, that is what the PA legislature is focusing on these days.
