Sphex Club Papers Held At Jones Memorial Library
The Sphex Club of Lynchburg, Virginia, was organized on 5 October 1910. According to the constitution, the purpose of the organization was "to promote the intellectual and social culture of its members and to encourage philanthropic, educational and civic progress in the community."
According to a history of the organization compiled by William H. Barney, "the real reason for the club's founding was to give the academic community of Randolph-Macon Woman’s College and the business and professional men of the city a forum on which they could meet for the exchange of interest and ideas."
The club, limited to a membership of 35, meets biweekly from fall until spring. An individual member of the club presents a paper at each meeting. Following the presentation, the paper is discussed by the members present.
The club also holds an annual meeting to which members may invite guests for dinner, for the presentation of a paper (usually by a prominent speaker) and for a general discussion of the paper presented.
The name of the club is said to be an acronym for Science, Philosophy, History, Education, and X "the unknown."
