Tin-re was an unusually large at
tendance at the laHt meeting of the
Normals. A good program waa ren
dered and perhaps the niout Interest
ing number was the dbeate:"KesoIv
ed tuu. .onian Is Intellectually Infer
ior to man." The greater number
of Urn girls visited after their so
cieties adjourned and Interest In pro
ceedings waxed high. The discuss
ion was spirited and the debate
threatened to become brilliant oratory.
Needless to say the decision of three
men Judges was in favor of the af
firmative. After being roundly
hissed by the array of Indignant "in
feriors," tiiv-y confessed that they
judged solely upon the points
presented with honest disregard to
their personal opinions and they were
allowed to go home unharmed.

no failure yet In their attempts. On
