future than environment.

Coble.
Negative: Mary Lou Wilkins,
Blanche Robertson.
V. School Days—Grace Winslow.
The program as a whole was in
teresting and instructive. The debate
deserves special mention. The affirm

but were overborne by the negative
who were successful in proving that
environment has more to do with a
child's future than heredity, in four
ways, physical, mental, moral and
spiritual.
After a serious discussion the
minds of all were lightened by some
humorous jokes by Grace Winslow.
This meeting was the time for the
election of officers; the following
were elected: president, Ruth Out
land, secretary, Hope Motley, mar
shal, Bettie Hall.
After the critic's report and some
helpful general criticism, society ad
journed.

tive, Mabel Ward.
111. Vocal Solo—Falsom Neal.
IV. Jokes—Eva Holder.
V. Instrumental Solo—Myrtle
White.
VI. My likes and dislikes about
Guilford College—Winnie Mae Row
land.
At this meeting the following
new officers were elected: president,
Mabel Ward; secretary, Zelma Far
low; marshal, Eva Holder.
WEBSTERIAN NOTES
The presence of practically every
member of society on Friday, Dec. 2,
added interest and enthusiasm to
the meeting. A continuation of this
type of meeting is expected, since
a joint committee, representing both
societies, have been before the fac
ulty and arranged a schedule so that
no outside entertainments will occur
during society hours.
The meeting was called to order
by president Fishel. After Mr.
Macon had been appointed critic,

ucational value of movies overbal
ances the harm done by them.
Affirmative speakers, Frazier, Eng
lish, Penny, Negative, Ragsdale, Win
chester, Hobbs.
11. Extemporaneous speech—Addi
son Smith.
111. Popular college songs—Quar
tette, Tatum, Hobbs. Edgerton, Har
ris.

CLAYS DEBATE ADVANTAGES
OF LARGE AND SMALL
COLLEGE
The Henry Clays were called to
order Dec. 2, (by vice-preslident,
F. M. White who appointed H. G.
Mcßane critic for the evening.
The question of debate for the
evening was: Resolved, that apart
from the question of expense, the
small college is preferable to the
large college for a majority of grad
uates of high school. The affirmative j
was upheld by Allred, Lindley and
V. White, while Shaver, Lane, and '
Crutchfield defended the negative.
The affirmative team advanced sub
stantia! arguments to the effect that
small colleges offer advantages in
class room work, in chance for par
ticipation in collegiate activities and j
in social life. The negative team j
however were able to offset these
arguments successfully. Much of the
credit for their success belongs to
Frank Crutchfield who made much
the best speech of the evening.
As this was the regular time for
election of officers the following men ;
were elected and will be installed at i
the next regular meeting; president,
F. M. White; vice-president, Wolf;
secretary. Taylor; assistant secretary.
Blair; censor, B. Shore; chaplain, C.
Newlin; sergeant-at-arms, T. Machie.
The censor then gave his report '
and society adjourned.
CHAMBERS BUILDING BURNED
AT DAVIDSON
Last Sunday night, at the con
clusion of one of the most thorough
ly enjoyable Senior Week festivals
ever celebrated here, Chambers Build
ing, the oldest and most magnificent
on the campus, caught fire in the
base of the cupola, and burned com
pletely to the ground by 9:30 o'clock
Monday morning. Due to the great
thickness of the walls between the
rooms, some of the rooms did not
burn until nearly noon, but the
bulk of the structure was a mass
of glowing embers long before any
help could possibly have arrived.
The blaze was first discovered
by inmates of the top floor of
Chambers somewhere between 4:30
and 4:45. After a short unsuccessful
attempt to quell the blaze, they
aroused the campus, and by 5:00
o'clock, the whole campus was out,
and the fire was being fought with
buckets, hose, and fire extinguishers,
while the inmates of the upper j
floors strove desperately to rescue
their personal effects from from the
flames. By 5:30, the central stair
ways were impassible, and the hope
of saving the building was abandon
ed, effort being turned toward saving
the other buildings, six of which
were in range of the shower of fall
ing sparks.
The men rooming in the south
wing were able to save nearly all
of their property, byway of a small
stairway in the south of the building,
but the men in the north wing
were forced to abandon a great deal
of their property, through lack of
a means of reaching it. The loss
was specially heavy on the men who
were off of the hill, for the week
end, very little of whose property
was saved. Two rooms were locked,
and one of them defied the efforts
of those who tried to open it.
The danger to the other buildings
being virtually over by the dawn, the |
President of the College called the
students around him, and exhorted
them not to lose heart, reminding
them of other great trials the Col
lege had passed through in times
past. Later in the morning, a mass
meeting was called in the chapel
and various members of the Faculty
and of the senior class spoke words
of encouragement and talked of
means of repairing the damage. The
senior class offered to give over their
other duties on the campus and
spend the time remaining Before
Christmas in clearing away the rub- j
bish, so that the work of rebuilding
,could begin immediately in the
spring. The Faculty spoke in terms
of highest appreciation of this offer,
but said that nothing could be done, !
at least until the fire insurance
agents had arrived to view the ruins. J
The townspeople have been most j
cordial in opening their houses to
the homeless students while, almost
all the rooms on the hill not already
occupied by three men offered to j
take in another student. The College
is doing everything possible to pro
vide extra beds, tables and dressers
as soon as possible. The classrooms
which have been lost will be impro
vised out of the Literary Society
halls, the chapel, and spare rooms j
in the gymnasium. The splendidly
equipped Physical laboratories are j
almost a total loss, as is the
surveying equipment, and the Astro
nomical telescope. The College is |
