The Academia directs this impulse into worthwhile channels. The members sharpen and cultivate their ability to speak persua- sively by participating in numerous intercollegiate debates. The Academians were for the second consecutive year vic- torious over ten local colleges to gain the Western New York Debate Championship. The highlight of the year was the team's trip to Washington to compete in the Georgetown and N.F.C.C.S. tournaments. In addition to the prestige brought to the College by its out- standing record of 30 wins and lO losses, the Academia has .4 l greatly increased the social lite on the campus with its popular dances held in the Student Lounge.
