THE GUILFORDIAN
HENRY CLAY NOTES.
Our Society began the new year
with a lively debate on the ques

tures are more detrimental than
beneficial. This question was new
and aroused interest sufficiently
lo make the discussion extremely
good. The affiramtive was sup
ported by Lambeth, H. Moore and
Bulla, while E. Mitchell, E. Moore
iiud Loyd defended the negative.
The negative won. The debate
was supplemented by a recitation,
"SI. Peter at the Golden Gate,"
given by VV. Mitchell.
The president appointed a com
mittee to arrange a date and make
other adjustments for the annual
oratorical contest which will oc
cur near the close of the spring
term. At our last meeting before
the holidays it was decided to
elect the contestants and accord
ingly from about twelve nomina

was a decided success and we may

while. Some of the speeches were,
made extempore and all the men
had had only three days of prepar

from this it is indicative that the
contest this year will he a vigor
