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.
