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

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.

Franz- ke. who has been affiliated with his institution in the field of debate longer than any other state coach. He has developed excellent speakers who have distinguished themselves in all of the branches of the forensic field. Prof. H. P. Boody has been coach of debate and oratory at Ripon college for eleven years and has elevated Ripon debating comparable to the teams produced by former coaches. Ripon debating has had especially outstanding in the long trips made by the teams. The end of intercollegiate debating, oratory and extemporaneous speaking has not necessarily distinctive in competition, but has resulted in the elevation of the forensic field to intellectual values. Forensics have been one of the basic activities for the development of the kindred interests of Beloit. Carroll, Lawrence and Ripon. Page 10
