 iForcttstrs As We Look Back Iowa Wesleyan has just closed another most successful season in the realm of forensic art. Although a number of valuable veterans were lost by graduation last year, new recruits have stepped into their places and have admirably upheld the splendid record of the old school. In oratory she has gained a reputation highly enviable. From each of the last two State Intercollegiate Contests, she has carried away first honors, a thing which in most colleges is rarely witnessed by one student generation. She now holds the undisputed title of having won first rank more often than has any other college in Iowa. In addition to winning first, old I. W. C. has taken high positions any number of times. It has been rather difficult to obtain a record of the State Contests earlier than 1892. However, we offer this partial list of oratorical victories. 1875 Clay B.

In debate, Wesleyan students are renowned throughout the middle west. This year we are debating in a triangular with Simpson and Upper Iowa Colleges. The Sophomore team meets the Monmouth College second year representatives, and the Freshmen are hoping to defeat the Knox Freshmen in a dual contest. The Forensic outlook for next year is so promising that the “ Mother of Iowa Colleges’’ is confidently expecting to add many more victories to her forensic annals.
