-W H M . I sax sez as 'fe was The Ciceronian Literary Club The Ciceronian Literary Club was organized in September, 1912. Cp to that time all students had joined either l'hilorhetorian or Amphictyon. The membership of both was becoming too large for all to receive the literary train- ing that was desired. The college students decided to solve the problem by organizing a society for college students only. Any student who is certified by the registrar to be of college rank is eligible to membership in the club. It was organized with sixteen charter members-Misses Gladys Smith, Ruth Sherrick, Mary Steele, lidna House, Amy Trout, Mrs, ,lohn S. Noffsingerg Messrs. Leo Blickenstaff, A- lirumbaugh, john B. XYhite, ll. Shorb, John Xoffsinger, O. S. Hamer, john W'ieand, FI. llugh Heckman, john Mitchel, C. ti. Shull. Since that time Misses Maude llosworth, Maurine XVingert, lilizabeth Sharer, Viola Newcomer, and Messrs. Oscar Xeher, XYarner Glotfelty, Everett Miilson, liarvey Swartz, lloyd Stouifer have been taken in as active members. Un being received into the club all new members make a two-minute speech before the club. The officers are l'resident, Attorney on Oratory, Attorney on Debate, Attorney on Exercises, .Xttorney on Members, Clerk, llailiff, and Treasurer. All are elected by ballot at the close of each school term except the treasurer, who is elected for one school year by the Executive Committee. The president gives a four-minute inaugural address at the beginning of his term of office. An oration and debate are according to the constitution indispensable parts of every program. Sentimental debate always follows the regular debate in which all may take part. This is never allowed to drag, but is kept alive and moving. Tn order that drill may be received in extemporaneous speaking and debating. impromptu debates are frequently held. These are often humorous as well as solid, Some questions that have been discussed recently are as follows: Resolved, that the ten o'clock college bell should be observed by all students: resolved. that the Philippines should be given their liberty: resolved, that the flying machine will be the future mode of transportation. lfrom the character of these questions, it is evident that the originality and imagination of the debater is tried as well as his general knowledge. Another very interesting program is that of parliamentary drill. The aim in this is to make motions as rapidly as possible, amend them, make others that are always given precedence, and, in short, to test as severely and accurately as possible the parliamentary ability and skill of the one presiding- It benefits each participant just as much as the chairman. Efficiency in parliamentary rules is the logical and inevitable outcome for every active Ciceronian. At first thought this style of program might be considered very tedious and monotonous, but such is not the case. An example of one of the humorous and original motions is had in this, I move that we set aside the evening of February sixth, nineteen hundred and thirteen, as the evening on which Messrs. XYilson and Neher shall give a discussion of phrenology and examine the heads of the Ciceronians and say what avenue of life each shall follow. -C J. Stuart Hamer. lYe shall allow your imagination to guide you in the construction of the possible amendments and discussion of a motion of that character. This year has been a most vital one in Ciceronianys history, but the future is exceedingly large and will unfold many valuable things. Next fall we will have a new room on the fourth Hoor of the new Science Building. It is a large, commodious room, well lighted and especially arranged for a literary club room. Owing to the size of the room we have had in which to hold our meetings this year, our programs have been closed excepting to those invited now and then by Ciceronians. Also occasionally a public program has been given in College Chapel. The year 19123-lillfl is to be an illustrious one. and Come one, Come all: XYelcome everyone in Cicero's hall. -AMY N.
