The activities of the Bowdoin Christian Association during the fall was rather limited to planning for important pro grams that arc usually presented to the college during the year. In the fall, the Association, under the presidency of Gor- don Thompson, presented the annual Sunday Service at the First Parish Church in Brunswick. Fdmond N. Elowc gave the sermon “Apart or Together,” a comparison of Mohammedan theology to Christianity. Carl Brinkman, Secretary; Herbert Sea- man, Treasurer; and John S. MacDermid assisted in the serviee. Prominent among the conferences at- tended by B. C. A. members was the North American Conference of the Student Volunteer Movement held at Lawrence, Kansas, during the Christmas vacation with Edmond Elowe being delegated to represent Bowdoin. Upon his return he spoke in chapel, discussing the problems which were considered under the topic, “Christ’s Kingdom, Man’s Hope.” In the spring, with Elowe as new Presi- dent, the B. C. A. arranged the annual Religious Forum held on March 30, 31, and April 1, of 1952. The topic of the Student Union Bowdoin Christian Associatio Forum: God's Kingdom, Man’s Hope.” Dr. Harry Trust of the Bangor Theologi- cal Seminary excelled as keynote speaker. Members of the B. C. A. attended several other Christian Association conferences in New England, and planned on a wider intercollegiate activity for the promotion of Christian thought on the Bowdoin Campus. Other active members of the B. C. A. were James Cook and Michael McCabe who handled the administrative matters of the Religious Forum. FALL SEMESTER President John D.

It is the responsibility of the Committee to use the fund placed at its disposal by the College to benefit the student body whether it be in the Union itself, or at one of the Committee’s social functions. This year, once again, the Student Union Committee was successful in handling many of the College’s activities. Early in the fall, the Committee acted as host to the annual convention of the New England Associa- tion of College Unions at which ideas of common interest were exchanged. As in the past, the Committee successfully sponsored the Winter Houseparty Dance at which a campus queen was crowned and awarded a trophy by tire Committee President, John D. Slocum. The Committee also sponsored a birthday reception held in the Union in honor of President Sills. In addition to these activities, the Student Union Committee sponsored a pool tournament, ping-pong tourn- ament, chess tournament, several outstanding movies, provided the Moulton Union and Infirmary with maga- zines, and presented daily programs of movies for the benefit of the student body during the exam periods.

One of the most prominent organizations on the Bowdoin campus, the Debating Council, once again had another successful and profitable year. Under the direction of Professor Albert R. Thayer, the Council debated teams, not only from every college in Maine, hut also many of the outstanding colleges in the eastern part of the United States. During the fall semester, a team composed of John Bradford, ’52, and Edmond N. Elowe, ’52, represented Bowdoin in an exhibition debate against Bates College at Bates. This same team, early in January, met a team composed of two young ladies from Wellesley at Wellesley Col- lege, where one of the largest audiences of the year appeared. The topic for the debate was “Should a Woman Choose Death Before Dis- honor?” Bowdoin College upheld the negative. The varsity debating team, composed of Paul P. Brountas, ’54, and Edmond N. Elowc, ‘52, on the affirmative side, and John A. Henry, 53, and Charles E. Orcutt, ’54, on the negative, represented Bowdoin College in the Maine State Intercollegiate Series early in March at Colby College. These same debaters represented Bow- doin on the Spring Tour which took the teams to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash- ington, D. C., and Fredericksburg, Va., where they debated several of the top college teams in the East. In Virginia, the debaters participated Debating Council in the Grand National Debating Tournament held at Mary Washington College for Women. The freshmen, too, met several collegiate teams. There were a number of practice de- bates with the University of New Hampshire, Middlcbury College, M. I. T., and many others. Debaters participating in these contests were Michael McCabe, ‘54, David Anderson, ’55, Wil- liam Hays, ?55, and Elliot Palais, ’55. Among the important freshmen debates was the Maine State Freshman Intercollegiate Debate at which Bowdoin was again well represented. 'flic Council owes much of its success to the able guidance of Professor Thayer and to the individual debaters’ willingness to work and their ability to succeed. Left to right: W. HOFFMAN C.

In the past thirty years of its existence, the meetings have assumed the forms of lectures, debates, and panel discussions. Speakers are invited from all the professions of life, including representatives of the business, religious, academic and political world. Pile fall semester saw the Political Forum playing host to a number of guest speakers. Perhaps the most outstanding of these speakers was May Craig, noted Washington correspondent of the Portland Press-Herald.

N., spokesmen from the military world, and sev- eral other speakers from opinionated fields.
