echo to JULIAN GOLDBERG President the sense’ Bancroft Literary Association The ideal of the Bancroft Literary Association can best be expressed by its slogan, “Speech is Power.” Meeting once a week with their adviser, Prof. Joseph E. Green of the Department of English, the Bancroft’s members enjoyed a series of informal de- bates and extemporaneous speeches. ‘The oldest org- anization in City College as well as in the Southern States, the Bancroft sponsored schoolwide declamation contests along with its wide range of activities. The association’s main project each year is its an- nual debate with the Carrollton-Wight Literary Society. Arguing the negative side of the topic, “Resolved, ce hat the American Press is Free’, Carey Moore, Julian Gold- berg, and Harold Gullan capably held down the positions on the Bancroft team. After many anxious moments, the well-prepared contest ended in a tie decision.
