iphilodemic Bebating ocictu FOR the thirt -tifth consecuti -e year the ■ ' C ranJ Old Man of Debating, Father John j. Toohe -, S.j., was chancellor of the Philoclemic Society. Restrict- ed in membership to juniors and Seniors, the Philodemic was founded in 1830. In age it ranks second only to the Sodality; and it is the oldest collegiate debating society in the United States. In more than one hundred intercollegiate debates the Philodemic has won ninety-one; and perhaps the most notable portion of that record is the stretch between the years 1921-1Q38, when it enjoyed seven- teen victorious years with ne ' er a defeat. The Merrick debate is the most coveted of the year, for the winner is acclaimed the best debater in the Senior Class, and awarded the Merrick medial, in addition to a substan- tial cash prize. This ear ' s candidates included Tom Kelle ' , Rufus Lusk, John Liebell and Donald Hertzog. As always membership was limited to forty; and each candidate had to be passed by the regular members, with a three-fourths ma- jorit ' required for acceptance. The officers for the past year were Dave X ' lartin, President ; with Al Cohn succeeding him, after Mr. Martin ' s graduation in Feb- ruary. Bill Kabbash was Vice-President ; John Schindler, Recording Secretary; Tom Kelley, Corresponding Secretary, and Ray Fetzner, Censor. A well attended formal dance, with Tom O ' Keefe as Chairman, was held during April at the Hotel Washington.
