9'he .Maxwell 'Glub .29 The Maxwell club was first organized in 1893, at the sugges- tion of Dr. Canfield, then Chancellor of the University, in an ad- dress before the College of Law. The name of the club was chosen in honor of Judge Maxwell, who was then chief justice of the su- preme court, and also a member of the College of Law faculty. The object of the organization as set forth in the preamble of the first constitution was the cultivation of impromptu speaking, of an argumentative style, both in composition and delivery. The by-laws made no restriction as to membership, but declared all students of the College of Law are members ot this clubfl The club has never failed since its organization to supply its quota of representatives in the intercollegiate debates with Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri. Four places of the debating teams of 1904 are filled by Maxwells. Wfith L. C. Lightner against Kansas, and G. A. Lee and C. McReynolcls against TVashington College, suc- cess is assured. The officers of the present organization are President Thomas Konopg Vice-President, I. Wf Hutchinsong Secretary, M. S. Mc- Duffee. I .!Q aiillisex :V ifla ng 1 lm, fx 63
