la Debating Societ The Debating Society was founded for the purpose of helping its members to gain a knowledge of parliamentary law, and to secure skill in debate. It is of practical value in that it trains its active members to present a subject to an audi- ence in a simple, effective manner, giving clear and logical arguments, based on sound evidence, appraised at its proper value. The Society consists of two chap- ters, To De and To Men, the former for the odd, and the latter for the even classes. Inter-chapter debates are held at the dis- cretion of the executive boards of the two chaptersg and inter-collegiate debates, with the permission of the faculty. I7

THE 1917 LLAMARADA Marlha Barnhardl:-'Madam President, I think it's just splendid to feel that the college is taking so much thought for us and I think that the least we can do is to accept the rules. But thereis one little thing I just happened to think of- it seems as if there might be some little exception made to the rule about kissing. I know from my own experience and from what I've heard older people say that it's possible to kiss without the slightest danger of contagion, and I shouldn't think it would need to be prohibited if we were properly careful-though, of course, I don't know. ' Dot Phelpx:-Madam President, I donlt think the rule about eating fruit and not eating trash ought to be included. We aren't allowed to have more than one orange for breakfast, and it's expensive to buy much fruit at this time of year, and for the rest we have to take what's given us. M, P. Smith:-Madam President, I think the discussion shows that we havenlt come to any satisfactory conclusion, and that itis a waste of time to talk about it any longer now. I move that we postpone the discussion until the next meeting. .Many voirff from Ihr 1'ea1':-Second the motion. V , -fs X Kg- x A- 0 lltixzvf - tfiagzs Qi! M 16
