chorus give two or three concerts in the course of a year, but the Quest must appear each week, no matter how dim its light, or the howl of disappointment and bitter criticism would be over- whelming. In the early years of the college it was a bi-weekly publication, and achieved a somber dignity that succeeding staffs have at once tried to imitate and eradicate. But all in all its growth has been steady until now it is the barometer of campus spirit as well as a faithful recorder of student activity. It has also become mature enough to enter the family of college dailies and weeklies of the Pacific Coast, and as a member of the Pacihc Intercollegiate Press Association to contribute its share to the solution of the common problems of its members. Quest editors innovated many new customs this year. William Stone made the job of reporting one of more than plain business by inaugurating a Thursday lunch for the staff in the Commons, after which the weekly assignments were given out. The year-old custom of letting the Frosh see the old year out was continued, a verdant sheet being put forth by the yearlings. When Mary Ellen Gantenbein took oHice as editor at the beginning of the spring semester Sundays were made a holiday once more and the work was done on Saturday, publication being advanced from Wednesday to Tuesday. Once a month the Quest appeared with an extra sheet tucked into the middle which contained the best efforts of the Literats for the period. To be a member of the stag has become an honor instead of a burden. Added efficiency and pleasure in the work became the keynote of every one,s efforts who was connected with the Quest. Easton Rothwell, Charles Webster, Winfield Woodings, Robert Osborn, and Helen Pippy are on the Editorial Staff, while William Helms is the business manager. Reporters are Clinton Wilson, Betty Gore, August Beich, Ted Miller, Merritt Scott, Alice Abbott, Alice Lathrop, Ira Berkey, Ted Steffen, Florence Fowler, Austin Hutcheson, Nancy Gavin, James Stone, and Hortense Nichols.

Page Sixty-eight Varsity Debate EBATE, the one activity in which Reed participated with the leading institutions on the Pacific Coast, was this year taken part in by both the men and the women of the college. In November debates were held between the women of Reed College and the women of the University of California and Mills College. The Reed debaters, Beatrice Olsen and Edith Mozorosky, upheld the aH-irmative in each case of the question, Resolved: that the United States should take the lead in the reduction of armament by suspending all additional naval construction for a period of eight years. The next debates took place in December. Men of the college met the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College on the question, Resolved: that the United States should abolish its present policy of naval expansion. The Reed affirmative team, Gibson Bowles and Jacobs Weinstein, debated the Uni- versity at home, while the negative team, Marion Dickey and David Cohen, traveled to Corvallis to meet 0. A. C. The schedule was completed March tenth, when Reed par- ticipated in an international triangle debate with the University of British Columbia and the University of Montana upon the question: Resolved, that the Allied nations in the Great War should cancel all external war loans. Our affirmative team, Herman Kehrli and Harold Brownson, debated at Reed with Montana. The negative team, Marion Dickey and Gibson Bowles went to Vancouver to meet the Canadians. ' This yearls program for state, interstate, and international debate was the most extensive in the history of Reed College. Although in each case Reed failed by two-to-one decisions to uphold her Victorious record of last year, the season was worth while. The debates were in all cases Vigorous and well handled, and upon live, timely topics. Not only the individual debaters, but the entire student body came into contact with sister in- stitutions, and kept up the valuable relationship resumed in the past two years.
