The Euphradian Society is a literary society founded in 1806 at the University of South Carolina, then known as South Carolina College, as a result of the splitting in two of the Philomathic Society, which had been formed within weeks of the opening of the college in 1805 and included virtually all enrolled students. At what was called the Synapian Convention held in February, 1806, the members of Philomathic decided to split into separate societies, one of which became known as Euphradian, while the other became known as Clariosophic. Two blood brothers picked the members for the new groups in a manner similar to choosing up sides for an impromtu baseball game. William Harper became the first president of Euphradian.[1]
