They acquire a knack of conversing and expressing themselves which is unobtainable in the class-room. Illustrated talks are given by Dr. Rougier, the faculty advisor. The members seem to have developed an extraordinary capacity for working out French crossword puzzles and engaging in word formation contests, for such are the fads that occupy most of their time at the meetings.

lata 1 4 Q W QWJQLEA gf LAW AND DEBATING SGCIETY QPU URING the past semester the Law and Debating Society slowly be iff name denotes its purpose is twofold to delve and explore the intri cacies of law and to furnish practice in public speaking ' '- ' ' The study of the law, if approached from the right angle, proves to be a most fascinating subject, for in it we have detailed before us the grad- uated steps in the progress of mankind. It is not merely a superficial study of moral codes and legal documents. It is a record of the unremitting devolp- ment of men's thoughts, religions and philosophies of life. The Law and Debating Society tries in its small way to penetrate the barriers of this mighty history and bring to light some of the evidences concealed therein. The second, and by far the more practical aim of the society, lies in its effort to strengthen the argumentive capacities of its members. This end has been attainedthrough steady practice at its weekly gatherings. Faculty speakers have also frequently graced these meetings and have afforded a happy combination of entertainment and instruction by their inter- esting lectures. Mr. Dyer, faculty advisor of the society, is largely responsible for the success it has enjoyed this semester.

A. s LTHOUGH one of the minor clubs of Harris, the Young Men's Christian Association, has succeeded rather creditably in its activities this semester. At each weekly meeting, the members come prepared to discuss some modern issue or topic of general interest suggested by dz, 9-fb . . . . L., rg the facul advisor Mr. Hintz. These o en forums and informal dis- , P cussions tend to produce at the meetings a club-like atmosphere which is seldom found at the gatherings of other societies. It is indeed remarkable, and yet fortunate, that the club has such a small membership when it presents programs of such merit. The officers are: President .............. ............
