The question debated was: Resolved, that the United States should cease to protect, by armed force, capital invested in foreign lands except after a formal declara- tion of war. The Sophomore team composed of Lois McKen1y fcaptainj, Vera Mericle, Eula Holder and Carlotta Cunning falternatej, upheld the negative of the argument, while the Freshman team, composed of Libby Phillips fcaptainj, Donna Garrard, Betty Grover and Dorothy Smith falternatej, sup- ported the affirmative. After six heated rebuttals were given, great suspense was created as to the outcomes of the debate. The judges voted 2-1 in favor of the negative. The two teams remained intact for the rest of the season with the exception of one debate. Miss Dorothy Smith was placed on the regular team during the debate with VVi1liam VVoods College at Kansas City, February 29th. The attirmative team met the 'William Jewell team at Liberty, Missouri, I February 9th. The afhrmative lost both debates by a 2-1 majority. - GUY V. PRICE Social Science The negative team met VVilliam Jewell at Kansas City, February 18th, defeating them by a 3-0 decision. At William VVoods College, March Sth, however, the negative suffered a 2-1 defeat. The arguments of both teams were compact, well-balanced and sound in theory. Mr. Guy V. Price, the coach, deserves much credit for the aid given the girls in the preparation of their arguments. In spite of some of the decisions, Teachers College will remember this year's debating season as one of the most interesting and educational events recorded in her activity calendar.

The Teachers College library was begun in Septem- ber. 1922. About five hundred volumes were trans- ferred from Junior College where the Teacher Train- ing School has been housed. Many of these volumes had been the property of the Elizabeth Moss Kinder- garten Training School. The equipment at that time consisted of a desk, a magazine case and a card cata- logue case. A small portion of the present shelving Srn1.1..A Puaizsox was installed about five weeks after school opened. 1-1l'ff11'1UH The tables and chairs were provided during that fall. During that winter Miss Pierson did-not give all of her time to the library as she was on the regular teaching staft. ' Since that time the, library has increased in book stock and equipment until it has almost outgrown its present quarters. There are now approximately 10,000 volumes, including bound magazines and reference books and a subscription list of sixty-four periodicals in the library. The library endeavors to provide for the College students all literature needed in academic reference work and supplementary material for practice teaching. lVith the rapid expansion of the work of the College, however. during the past two or three years, the library is becoming badly crowded and additional room is needed. . l mir'
