====== Symposiac ======

The Symposiac, a student organization, possibly a secret or literary society, which existed in 1873; it is listed in the first //[[ivy|Ivy]]// under "Miscellaneous Organizations" and its members are called "Wranglers." The July 1873 //[[tablet|Trinity Tablet]]//, however, does not mention it at all, and it disappears from subsequent //Ivys//. 

"Symposiac" refers to a symposium, or social gathering at which there is an interchange of ideas, which can define many of the social organizations that existed during Trinity's early days. Some of these societies were organized as anti- or rival existing societies, for socializing and entertainment.
