The office of Marshal was also established, Daly ’08 was elected. The debate of the evening was-Resolved that there should be an educational test as a qualification for a voter. Mendelshon ’06, Bond ’06, and Casey ’05 spoke for the affirmative; Hull ’07, Fletcher ’06, and Beebe 06 defended the negative side of the question. The debating was exceptionally good, considering the fact that a debating club was practically a new idea and the short notice given the participants. Profs. Towne and Brightman were present and acted in the capacity of judges. The decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative. Immediately after the debate Prof. Towne spoke a few words in relation to the debate and both he and Prof. Brightman explained how it could be improved and showed many good points for those who will debate in the future. Prince ’06 took the chair during the debate. The next meeting will take place Friday evening, February 16. The roll for the second meeting showed the entrance of several new members.

OW many of the undergraduates of Bulkeley know that we have any track records? In the “olden days” of the last century, between the years 1893 and 97 several fellows from the school held athletic meets at Poquonock. It was during this period that almost all of the school records were made. Since that time there has been two school meets at the armory, in '02 and 05. In the first of these contests the only record which was kept was the one for the eight lap relay, but the time in the ’05 meet was about seven seconds faster, consequently it does not stand as a record. In the ’05 meet the 12 pound shot put was also beaten, and a record for the 35 yard dash was established.
