Trained noticers will remember that one of the clubs mentioned in Barney's high school yearbook is called the Philomathian Literary Society. As Andy explains, it was a group that cut current event clippings from the newspaper and pasted them into a book.
I am a lover of words (just TRY to beat me at Scrabble) and I subscribe to Dictionary.com's "word of the day." Matter of fact, that daily email arrives right around the same time as this digest. Anyway, today's word was PHILOMATH, which means a scholar or lover of knowledge. So in case you didn't know what Philomathian meant (pertaining to a philomath), now you do.
