As past years have all been successful this has been no exception. At the begin- ning of the year, thirteen new members were taken into the fold, and the society has continued to grow.

It was: Resolved, that congress should enact legislation embodying the principles of the McNary-Haugen Bill. Professor B. B. Wood was coach of debate and Angus Springer was manager.
