All Interested in Forensics Are Urged to Be Present; Will Develop Varsity. The Phiiognia Literary Society which died late in 1910 promises to be res urrected next Monday afternoon when a group of men interested in debate and oratory will meet in Professor R. W. Prescott’s room at 4 o’clock and will reorganize on the campus a society which will have its object the training ' of those who have an ambition to de bate. That debate has this year made more headway and progress than for several years past, is the opinion expressed by Professor Prescott. It is shown in the greater crowds which attend the de bates and a more lively and more wide spread interest among the students, and to each student to whom Mr. Prescott has mentioned the project he has met with a hearty response. Walter Myers, William Hazeltiue, KKonnoth Arm strong, Ralph Ilolzman, Varsity debat ors; Abe Rosenberg, Varsity orator and Lee Bartholomeu and Day Bailey, al ternates, have all expressed themselves favorably to a new Philogian society and Mr. Prescott said that probably the society will not he closed to anyone who desires to participate as an active member, though at the present time they are not looking for numbers but interest. Training Is Valuable. The value of debate as a training for Tnen in public affairs is shown by the men of Oregon, who were members of j the former Philogian society when Mr. ! Prescott attended the University. Most of the paiblic men of today ho said had at some time received a part of their training in a debate society. Men from The Philogean Society alone, as he re called them are, John Veatch, an at torney of Portland, Francis Galloway, an attorney of The Dalles. Henry Me KKiuney, regent of the University and member of the legislature, Allen Eaton, member of the legislature for tlieh past twelve years, Earl Kilpatrick, director of the extension division and head of the Northwest Red Cross; Dean Collins, poet and journalist, Karl Onthank, sec- ! rotary to the president of the Univer- I sity; Raphael Geisler, American consul to Switzerland and Alfred Powers, ns. sistunt director of the extension divis ion. To Have Practice Debating. “The purpose of the society.” Mr. i I’reseott said “will be to give the stu- 1 dent the laboratory work in debating which it is difficult to get in regular class work, since class work is nes essarily an imposed task while the society work will be voluntary.” Such an organization, Mr. Prescott explained, will increase the intellectual activity on the campus and help to swing the colego life away from the criticism given it throughout the state that the 1'niversity is merely a finishing school centering around athletics. Bet ter material from which to select de bate teams adds another very material value to the debate society. instruction is the same as that given the young men who expect soon to be called to the colors. There are two companies of the co-ed soldiers being drilled by cadet officers in the elemen tary infantry drill regulations. The girls do not expect to be called to the firing line, but are taking the military training partly for the sake of the ex cellent physical training it offers, and, more particularly, to express their de termination to win the war through “a military decision” rather than by more pacific measures.—\V.
