March Debater Bruce Ballentine . Captain Maxcy Stone . March Debater Aull Aull Jones Ballentine DeBruhl Stone The Excelsior Literary Society was begun way hack in 1858 so that the students would have some knowledge of the main principles of parliamentary procedure when they gradu¬ ated from Newberry College. The purpose in general was to be the mutual improvement and criticism of its members with respect to style of speaking, composition and deportment, and advancement in debate, oratory, and general literature. 1 he purpose has been accomplished to a large extent, even though there have been many ups and downs. Possibly the oldest tradition of this society in connection with the Phrenakosmian Society is the annua! March debate. At the present the Excelsiors have a string of five successive victories.

I be society had an excellent beginning, but the w ar Between the Stales brought eight years of silence to the society. After be¬ ing re-established it enjoyed a remarkable growth, which was re¬ tarded only with the advent o f the prosperous era following the World War, an era which marked the decline of interest in lorensics. Realizing the invaluableness of society work to every student, the faculty soon made two years ol this activity a prerequisite for graduation. Since then interest has been renewed and a new era of development seems to be in progress. The high quality of w ork done has been stimulated in no small degree by the rivalry with its sister society, the Excelsior. Keen competition has been evidenced in the State Intercollegiate Oratorical Preliminary contest, the March Debate, Sophomore Declamation contest. Junior Oratorical contest, and the Kendall Publ ic Speaking contest.
