"I suppose that this evening you had to choose between the Symposium and the rest of the party where they don't have papers? And you are glad you chose the Symposium?" "No, I'm not," said Rosamond impulsively. "You dear little Rosamond!" cried Miss Muffet, throwing her arms about her. "The annealing's come off. Now let's go where there's music."

Unconsciously the divine must draw man to what afterwards, when raised into his consciousness, constitutes his supreme happiness. In the Symposium, people of the most various ranks and views of life speak about love, the ordinary man, the politician, the scientific man, the satiric poet Aristophanes, and the tragic poet Agathon.

They were invited to attend the next evening a symposium by the Shakespeare League at King's College on What Shakespeare Thought of Women. The Sixth Conference and Congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance took place in the banquet hall of the Grand Hotel, Stockholm, June 12-17, 1911. The coming of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the Alliance, had been widely heralded.

Speaking of the word 'symposium, which has been stretched to mean a collection of short articles on a given subject, the Bibliotaph said that he could fancy a honey-bee which had been feasting on pumice until it was unable to make the line characteristic of its kind, explaining to its queen that it had been to a symposium; but that he doubted if we ought to allow any other meaning.

"Then you won't join that symposium?" said B . "It would be an easy enough thing to knock off 'Why Christmas should be abolished." "It sounds simple," I answered. "But how do you propose to abolish it?" The lady editor of an "advanced" American magazine once set the discussion "Should sex be abolished?" and eleven ladies and gentlemen seriously argued the question.

My credentials are not impressive in this category, but perhaps they will suffice. As an author, my claim to enter upon this self-contained symposium which I am about to present is somewhat stronger.

He conceived the very modern idea of collecting opinions from practical craftsmen, instituting, in fact, what would now be called a "Symposium" upon the subject. A good number of the answers to his query have been preserved, and among them is a letter from Michelangelo.

Gradually the sound of their laughter sounded more and more harshly in my ears, the lights on the table grew dim and the company more misty, until they and their symposium vanished away altogether.

Joan Dale held the distinction of being the first woman ever admitted into the Solar Guard, in a capacity other than administrative work. Her experiments in atomic fissionables was the subject of a recent scientific symposium held on Mars. Over fifty of the leading scientists of the Solar Alliance had gathered to study her latest theory on hyperdrive, and had unanimously declared her ideas valid.

We know that, in some way or other, perhaps during those early years at Florence among the members of the Platonic Academy, Michelangelo absorbed the doctrines of the Phoedrus and Symposium. His poems abound in references to the contrast between Uranian and Pandemic, celestial and vulgar, Eros.
