The Philadelphia Society

E. v. KUEHNELT-LEDDIHN

The Philadelphia Society was founded this year, with W. Glenn Campbell as President, Frank S. Meyer as First Vice President, and Eliseo Vivas as Second Vice President. It has as its aim the furthering of traditional American and genuinely liberal (libertarian) ideas; one of its regional meetings took place recently in Philadelphia, and was a highly interesting experience, especially to a foreigner like me. Naturally, the crystallization and growth of such a society will not be simple or swift. The Philadelphia Society is not a monolithic phalanx, but a meeting ground for those ready to defend personal liberty amidst the collectivism and pragmatic nihilism of our age.
