Lawrence College campus comprises fourteen acres in the heart of Appleton. With the exception of Main Hall, which was built in 1853, and has since been re-arranged an«J improved, the buildings arc of recent construction and contain every modern im- provement to meet the purpose for which they were constructed. The laboratories are adequate; the musum is on of the largest and best in the Middle West. The col- lege library contains 50,000 volumes, supplemented by department libraries. Ripon College is not a group of buildings nor is it an endowed tradition of vague culture. It is a body of living men and women, faculty and students, working togeth- er for two things, one, the right attitude towards life as we know it; the other a finely disciplined mind and the will to translate that attitude ino reality. Ripon is an ad- venture in frienship and ideals now three-quarters of a century old. She has loved the truth and her children are free.

These pictures of the college presidents, the athletic directors, the debate coaches, the publicity directors are being used in dedication because they arc representative of the intercollegiate activities which do take place between the four state institutions. The relationship in administration, athletics, debate, and publicity arc the corrolary elements which tend to the promotion of friendship and good will between the four state colleges. From the time of its founding, Beloit has always represented a non-sectarian but fundamentally Christian influence. It was established with the conviction that thor- oughness in education is as good for the West as for the East, and that a genuine and rounded education must combine learning, morality, and religion. The earnest endeav- or of the College is to teach the heart as well as the mind, and to give a personal care that shall reach the individual needs of every student. The lives and the work of its former students constitute the best evidence of its spirit and its success. Carroll College, a co-educational Christian college, is located in the city of Wauke- sha. The College buildings arc: Main Hall; Rankin Hall of Science; the Gymnasium; Elisabeth Voorhccs Dormitory for Women; Voorhees Cottage or the president's home; the Badger House for Senior girls; Quaw cottage, and an Infirmary. The college is well provided with equipment for the work of a progressive college. Pa 7

HE four stale institutions have been on most intimate relations in debate for over a quarter of a century and the present debate coaches are prima- rily responsible for the pleasant relations existing between the collegs. All y of th coaches have brilliant records and have produced some fine debate teams. During the last few years the system of intercollegiate non-decision debating has taken place between Beloit, Carroll, Lawrence, and Ripon colleges. Teams from these institutions have been sent out and have clashed on the platform hefor high school audiences. As a result of this type of debating highly argumentative debate teams have been developed. Mr. Rasweiler of Beloit has long been affiliated with the southern state college .md has produced some excellent debate combinations. In the field of oratory and debating the Beloit representatives have been comparable to any in the state. Mr. Uttzinger, who is at the helm of the forensic field at Carroll is a newcomer in the state debate circles. His work this year has been especially oustanding in oratory and extemporaneous. Pa jf 9
