Biographical / Historical
Founded in December 1902, the Atlanta Symposium is a local men’s philosophical and social organization, whose motto is "plain living and high thinking." Membership is by invitation only. New members are elected by a secret ballot and unanimous vote. There are three officer positions: chairman, vice-chairman, and secretary. Meetings are held seven times a year, at which members present essays covering a broad range of subjects, including local and world history, science and technology, comparative religion, and philosophy.
