S. L. S. DEFEATS
THE LAWYERS IN
HOT DEBATE
At last it is over. The long looked
for debate has taken place. And the
Stetson Lits have "put it over" the
Kents. Well, well! How true, too
true! But it was an interesting fight.
With a fairly large audience present
Mr. Durrance introduced the question
of the evening. "Resolved that the
Ministerial form of Government as it
exists in England is preferable to the
American form." The Kents defended the affirmative, the Litts the good
old American negative.
Roy V. Sellars lead off in the conflict. He set a good pace and made
an able speech.
But "Judge" Stewart followed him
with broadside after broadside of
logic and arguments, given in the political style. And thus scored point
one for the negatives.
Close upon his heels came Mr. McCaskill, who upheld well his side of the
question.
And then came P. M. Childers who
fully performed his duty in bucking
the line of his opponents arguments.
Then Mr. Strum, taking the floor,
tried with a noble attempt to stem
the tide of approaching onslaught.
Then Mr. 'Alphabet" Lawrence,
with many wise and large volumes
in his hands advanced to the attack.
With a little intermission Mr. Law-
ran ce headed the list of rebuttals.
Then the other speakers in reverse
order. The Kents made noble although unsuccessful attempts to turn
back the approaching tidal wave.
On a whole the debate was characterized by much spirit and friendly feeling. The judges, after some time, returned a verdict of 2 to i in favor of
the negative.
All who attended were truly pleased
and delighted with the evening of
entertainment.
The Collegiate offers congratulations
to the winning team and heartiest
sympathies to the losers. At any
rate the Kents are good losers. Here's
hoping for better luck next time.
EUSOPHIANS.
Every member of the Eusophian
Literary Society must be on hand
next Saturday night. This is urgent
and you must come. You know how
it's been for the last two weeks. So help
us along with your presence Mr. and
Miss Member.
MR. UPSHAW'S LECTURE.
Mr. Upshaw as expected delighted
everyone with his humor, wit and
good common sense last Monday night.
Those who were fortunate enough to
hear him in the Baptist church Sunday night were prepared for what
was forth coming. Mr. Upshaw interested and pleased his hearers more
than some other lecturers we have
heard. Those who missed it missed
a treat indeed.
THE UNDIVINE COMEDY.
Paradise—
A shaded room,
An open fire;
A cozy nook,
And your heart's desire.
Purgatory—
The self-same room,
With lights a-few;
The self-same nook,
With ma there too.
Inferno-
The room, the shade,
The nook, the fire,
The blessed chance.
And enter sire.

A MAN'S TASK.
By Charles K. Ober.
It is a man's task to lead men, against
their natural inclination and in the
face of counter attractions, into constructive Christian living and unselfish
Christian service.
The opportunity to perform such a
task is afforded men who are able to
do it in the Secretaryship of the Young
Men's Christian Association, now in
successful operation in more than five
hundred cities in North America, and
this opportunity constitutes a new profession.
These city Associations are no longer
regarded as an experiment, as shown by
the aggregate gifts of over $30,000,000
for their enlargement and extension
during the past five years; and they can
be established in five hundred other
North American cities and in all the
leading cities of the non-Christian
world as rapidly as competent and
trained men can be found to organize
and administer them.
Fifty "Fellowships" (or apprenticeships) in from twenty-five to thirty of
the leading city Associations of North
America, giving opportunity for training in the principles and technique o
the city Association work at its best,
will be open in the fall of 1911.
This practical training will be preceded and supplimented by thirty-day
terms in the Association Summer Institute at Silver Bay (Lake George),
N. Y.; Lake Geneva, Wis.; Lake Couchi-
ching, Ontario; Black Mountain, N. C,
and Estes Park, Colorado.
An average compensation of $500 per
year is attached to the "Fellowship"
training pos tions, which, with economy,
will enable a man to meet all necessary
expense , including those incident to
attendance at the Summer Institute.
Christian character, ability, leadership, resourcefulness and capacity for
team work are required in this new
profession, and only those possessing
these qualifications will be accepted for
the "Fellowship" positions.
The Writer of this article will gladly
reply to inquiries and give particular
information, if addressed at 124 East
27th Street, New York.—"The Inter-
ollegian."
