Its pur- pose is to afford students an opportunity to increase their sklll in- public speaking and to let them give verbal expression to their ideas. The Speech Club participates in the activities of the Michigan Inter-Collegiate Speech League. These l activities include discussion, debate, oratory and extemporaneous speaking. Supplementing these activi- ties, the Speech Club has many inter-mural debates. The University can be proud of their memorable record in competition.
