Historical Note

Phrontisterion, the Classics Club, was founded with the purpose of encouraging an interest in the Classics among the Holy Cross community, offering space for students and professors to gather, and organizing Classics events for the campus. The previous name of the club appears to have been Eta Sigma Phi, and appearrs to have changed to Phrontisterion Circa 1971. The club also helped coordinate Clasics Day.
