Page 4 SOCIETY NOTES CLAYS DEBATE IMMIGRATION On the night of the 14th, the Henry Clays had a most interesting de bate by the new men. John Rey nolds and Edward Holder very suc cessfully upheld the affirmative side while Russell Branson and Erwin Brown, ably defended the negative side of the querry, Resolved. That the Congress of the United States should enact a law which would prohibit all emigration to our coun try for a period of two years. Judging from this debate one could readily see that the new men have entered into the society work with that determination which alwafys wins in the end. Holder delivered one of the best speeches of the evening. He suc ceeded in organizing his material in such a way that upon its presenta tion the opposing team was not able to attack it from any unprotected side so consequently it stood out as sound argument throughout the debate. The other speakers, however, had good delivery as well as some splen did argument together with that en thusiasm which must necessarily enter into any debate that is worth while, Gladstone Hodgin, in an outline of the plans of the society in regard 1o the programs for the coming year, gave a short summary of the development of debating. He took some of the world's greatest orators for examples and showed that ora tory is not altogether an inheritance but that the major part of this science is acquired by study and the unt'ring application on one's self to the task. PHILOMATHEAN NOTES The Philomathean Literary Socie ty met in regular session Friday evening, October 14, 1921. Presi dent Yates called the society to or der and appointed Annie Brown critic for the evening. The theme for discussion was '"Autumn." The hall was attractively decorated in autumn leaves which made the pro gram more realistic. The first number on the program was "Selected Autumn Poems" by Isabel Pancoast. She read "Autumn Woods," by William Cullen Bryant. "The Fall of the Leaves," by Henry Van Dyke; and "Old October," by James Whitcomb Riley. This was fol lowed by a paper entitled, "Why I like Autumn," read by Elizabeth Brooks. This was very good and was of great literary value. The third number was a vocal solo, "Tosti's 'Good Bye.'" by Esther White. It was very appropriate for the occasion. Clara Hadley told us about Autumn in the North. It was especially interesting as there is so much difference in the North and South at this season of the year. The program ended with a very interesting reading, "When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock," by Inez White. Under the head of miscellaneous business, the president appointed a committee to revise the constitution, also a nominating committee. After a good critic's report and some general criticism, society ad journed. WEBSTERIAN NOTES The get away in the race for im provement honors has furnished the last few meetings of the Webste rians with an additional interest. To the new men the beginning is the highest hurdle of all. When they succeed in placing their first ap pearance behind them, it Is with noticeable ease they continuee the race. To the old men the start of the new, is an opportunity to look upon themselves reproduced; to turn their eyes upon the finish ed product; and to ask themselves, whether they have put into society what they should. To both new and old the meetings on Friday night are becoming more pleasant and more interesting as the weeks pass. After President Rudd called the meeting to order and appointed Fishel critic, the following debate was given, Resolved: that inter collegiate football should be abol ished. The affirmative, English, Edgerton and Cooper, gave a well prepared argument, laying much stress on the great cost to colleges for the main tenance of football, the enormous amount of time consumed in prepar ing for it and the large number killed annually in playing it. The negative, Frazier, Conner and Winchester won the decision by showing just what football meant to a college. They argued; that football was a stimulus for college spirit; that it was the builder of better bodies and minds, and that college faculties were one hundred per cent back of it. M. B. Medlin brought the literary exercises to a close with a few se lections from Rudyard Kipling. Al though it was his first appearance in a role of this kind nevertheless he showed quite as much ability here as in debates. Nereus English gave a good talk afterwhich he was welcomed into the society as a member. Critic, Fishel, showed by his crit ical summary, that he had been a keen observer throughout the entire evening. Following this the meeting adjourned. ZATASIANS DEBATE ADVAN TAGES OF DENOMINATION AL COLLEGE The Zatasian Literary Society held its regular meeting Friday evening, Oct. 14. Josephine Mock was ap pointed critic and Zelma Fallow was asked to serve as marshal for the evening. The first number on the program was a debate: Resolved, that de nominational colleges offer better opportunities for training than state institutions. Mattie Andrews, the first speaker on the affirmative, show ed the advantages to be gained in a denominational college by its relig ious training and by its safeguard ;ng of the ideals and principles that parents have instilled into the minds of their children. Daisy Hobson completed the argument by pointing out the advantages of a small col lege over a large one, as gained by the close relationship of the stu dents with each other and with their teachers. In upholding the negative, Mary Henley showed the superiority of the state institution in intellectual training. Intellecual superiorly, Miss Henley said, was the result of more regular and financial support which provides better trained teach ers, better buildings, libraries, and laboratory equipment. Mary Etta Neese, the last speaker on the negative urged that the broadness of view and openness of mind obtained in the university enable one to know what is right. Therefore a greater moral influence can be exerted than in the denom inational colleges where less ade quate training is received. Narrow views of religion and morals are broken down in the state institution by association with so many people of different beliefs and ideals. The judges decided in favor of the negative. These new members are to be especially commended for their debating ability and the inter est taken in their work. Nellie Allen gave a short talk on "Guilford as a Denominational College" in which she called to mind many of the good points of our college, A musical selectionfi Schubert's Serenade," by Marie Tyson ended the program. Laura Neese was received as a member of the society. An encouraging critic's report was given. After the read ing of a secret cintic's report, soci ety adjourned. DR. SEELY TO LECTURE OCTOBER, 22. Dr. F. A. Seely, Dean of Spring field College will be on the campus October 22. He will probably deliver two or three addresses while here. He will speak on sexual education. Definite announcements as to the time of these lectures will be made later.
