X' The Mulry Council of Debate, the ,City Hall's Division of the Debating Society, has as its purpose a twofold objective. lts first aim is to further the school's participation in official intercollegiate debating activities. The second aim concerns itself with efforts to aid the poor or mediocre speaker to at- tain a higher level of oral expression. The important events in the Mul-ry calendar are the club's participation in intercollegiate debates and the annual Mulry Dinner. The most important debating activity is the Brooklyn College Debating Tournament, held late in March, in which fifty universities and colleges keenly compete for top awards. The Mulry Council of Debate has always maintained a fine showing in this debate. The debating academic year is brought to a fitting close by the annual Mulry Dinner at which stu- dents, alumni and faculty enjoy a fine dinner speech delivered by a friend of Mulry. The regular weekly meetings of Mulry provide adequate opportunities whereby the members' speech and debating techniques can be corrected and improved. ln addition, these meetings enable the members to discuss among themselves current events and topics of national interest. Directing the program for the year, Dr. Sherlock, the moderator, together with Ken Meeker, president, Charlie Walsh, vice president, ,loan Polito, secretary, and Sheila King, treasurer, did a fine job of planning and coordinating the en- tire year's program.

Philosophy Club Under the moderation of Dr. Lawrence'Azar, the meet- ings of the Philosophy Club are the opportunities whereby the objectives of the club are disseminated for the purpose of their achievement. ln general, the aims of this organization cen- tralize themselves around increasing the student's interest and understanding of philosophical material and further ex- planation andiapplication of material already covered in the classroom. In accordance with this program, the meetings of this society were held every other Monday at l :OO P.M. At this time, during the first semester, the main topic under consider- ation was the Theory of Pragmatism, and its application in our modern world. The program for the second semester was undertaken with a view to the continuation of the presenta- tion of this topic and additional topics. To achieve these ends, the club's 'many members participated in outside reading ventures and then contributed the material obtained to gen- eral discussion groups. ln addition, selected speakers pre- sented their views on these and other philosophical matters. ln conjunction with Dr., Azar, the officers effectively es- tablished and operated the club's program which was received with enthusiasm by all the members.
