Each class at its second meeting regu larly elected three debaters, who were almost immediately 'called together by the chairman of the committee on lectures and de bates. At this meeting they were informed of the rules governing the debates. The dates then open were,discussed and decided upon, and all the teams begain to plan definitely for the coming debates. Formerly the election of these class debaters was looked forward to with interest and it was con sidered an honor to be elected to Ihis position. Rut what about it now ? Last year one class delayed their election, and no meeting of class debaters was called, until so late that one of the preliminary de bates had to be postponed until after the Christinas holidays probably the first time it had ever lieen necessary to do this. When the debate did come the debaters were made to feel at the time that the class was wishing for them to win but if they lost it was not looked upon as anything of great moment. Win or lose it was soon forgotten. The thing that made the debater realize most that he had done this work was the talk from his professor who lamented the fact that his work, for the past few weeks, hail not been up to I he standard. This year two classes have been unable to get three men who wonhl consent to serve in litis ca pacity. The individuals giving; as their reason tlull the honor does not pay for the work, and no con sideration is shown a class de bater who is sometimes forced to leave a lesson unprepared. The lack of interest is clearly evident from the foregoing facts and also that those duly elected and con senting to serve have not yet even been informed who is the chair man of the committee on lectures and debates for this year. If no interest is going to be shown in these debates, what must be done? Are we going to let them drag along and die by bits or would it not be better to kill them instantly and humanely and give ns something in their place? Why could not Guilford begin in tercollegiate debating? Or if in terest is dying in the unspirited formal class debates, why not sub stitnte a more spirited and less formal class debate, by giving only two weeks for preparation, which would force more or less ex temporaneous work? >S'o mcthiiir/ should be done! BROWNING'S "ABT VOGLER." (Continued from first page.) The high that proved too high, the he roic for earth too hard, The passion that left the ground to lose itself in the sky, Are music sent up to God by the lover and the bard; Enough that he heard it once; we shall hear it by-and-by." Still more in the eleventh stan za there is assurance that defeat is even an indicat ion of future vic tory, that joy is keener by its con trast with sorrow, that discords only heighten the effect of the har mony. "And what is our failure here but a triumph's evidence For the fulness of the days? Have we withered or agonized? Why else was the pause prolonged but that singing might issue thence? Why rushed the discords in, but that harmony should be prized? Sorrow is hard to bear, and doubt is slow to clear, Bach sufferer says his say, his scheme of the weal and woe; But God has a few of us whom he whispers in the ear, The rest may reason and welcome: 'tis we musicians know." So, passing through the varying moods of ecstacy and praise to pain and doubt, then to snbniis only remains to return again tt> sion and perfect resignation, it the level of every day life by de scending gradually through mod ulation to the common chord. Thus is typified the daily round of duty, as contrasted with occa sional glimpses of higher things, when as to the disciples on the THE GUILFORDIAN "Get It at Odell's" Quality First Base Ball, Basket Ball, Tennis, Track and Gym Supplies Sweaters, Jerseys and Athletic Clothing A Specialty.
