Since the college is a member of the Michigan Debating and Oratorical League, most of the discussions were limited to the question, Resolved, That the United States adopt a substitute for the capitalistic system of government. The schools which were met in forensic contests included Calvin College, Albion College, Michigan State Normal at Ypsilanti, Western State Teachers' College of Kalama- zoo, Central State Teachers' College of Mount Pleasant, Michigan State College, Hillsdale College, and Detroit Institute of Technology. In men's oratory Roland Burt, also of the debate squad, entered the state oratory finals. He also won second place at the state extempor- aneous speaking contest held at Lansing. MrQ Clarence J. Fiting and Dr. David D. Henry, both of the English department, had charge of these activities. Page One Hundled One
