Last night, when the University de baters were striving for places on the intercollegiate teams, and for the Alumni medal awarded annually to the best individual debater, they ad dressed an audience of six judges, one housemother, and from one to eight students. Nor did any one seem surprised or particularly giieved at the showing. “1 had rather do most anything than listen to a debate, it’s an awful bore,” replied in substance numerous students when asked if they were go ing, or had gone. Students no longer take an active interest in debate. This is true all over the country. The reason is not hard to find. People read nowadays. Public speak ing is rapidly passing out of exist ence. Audiences do not gather to hang on the words of orators as they did a few decades ago, in the days of Lin coin and Dougins for instance. A few men, like Roosevelt and Bryan, draw great crowds. But these come to see rather than to hear. The newspaper has supplanted the public speaker. The Student Body goes behind financially on debate every year. It is no longer of interest to University students, as the lack of competition for places on the teams, (lie dying condition of the Laurean Society, and the almost total lack of attendance at the debate last night showed defin itely. Is there no way to popularize de bate, to make it once more interesting to University people? \nd if there is not. why support a student activity in which there is no longer any stu dent interest? 'fhe Emerald's columns are open for suggestions. Wl'i roMK, K AIT \ K VITA (iAMM \!

SOCIETY BY BESS LEWIS By Bess Lewis. The social calendar for this week end is crowded to the limit. However, this is not a forerunner of a strenu ous winter social season, but merely a finale before the pre-examination lull which is in accordance with the Faculty ruling, which prohibits any festivities for a month previous to the examinations.
