Maurice O'Leary, OR, at- tempted an innovation. Besides its usual intercollegiate activity, the Shahan Debating Society inaugurated a plan whereby young and inexperienced speakers were afforded an opportunity of speaking before an audience, by conducting round-table discussions of the topics of current interest. This plan furnished an opportunity for self-expression and supplied many clever arguments which were later used in varsity debates. The suc- cess of this dual plan of activity was evidenced by a greatly increased interest and attendance in meetings of the society as well as in intercollegiate contests. The traditional schedule, Loyola, Dayton, Manhattan, West Virginia, besides many notable new opponents, such as Yale, Emory and Henry, and Upsala furnished the opportunity whereby the Shahan intercollegiate pleaders maintained the high standard of accomplishment set by the Catholic U. Teams in the past. ll2

Treamr-er JOHN M. WALTON ............................... Secretary JOHN M. BAER ............................. Y w'gemzt-at-Arm: Celebrating with a banquet held at the beginning of the 1935-1956 school year, the Architectural Society of Catholic University opened its twenty-fifth year of exist- ence on the campus. This year has been one of particular activity for the organization. Besides con- tributing the regular design projects to the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New York City, the Architectural students prepared the United States portion of the world- wide exhibition of the Catholic Press to be held in the Vatican City during the summer of 1936. By this commission the school is especially honoured because in nearly every other country in the world the work has been entrusted to registered architects only. The Alumni of the Society sponsored two dances in the past year both of which were welcomed by the undergraduates and proved to be most enjoyable anairs. Fin!
