After trials which of necessity were conducted for nearly two months in order to weed out the large number of candidates trying, the eight men to compose the Dartmouth Debating Union have been chosen. The following were those picked: P. M. Chase 09, J. R. Lowell '10, C. S. Lyon '10, R. J. Richardson '09, W. C. Shaw 10, M. A. Smith '10, C. E. Snow '12, and R. L. Theller '09. The LeGrand prizes of twelve and eight dollars for excellence' in oratory were awarded to W. C. Shaw '10 and R. L. Theller '09' All the men now in College who were on last year's team were successful this year in making the squad, while three new men were added. Two teams of three men each and one alternate selected from these eight men will meet Brown and Williams the first Friday in March on the question: "Resolved, that the Federal" Postal Savings Bank Scheme, as Advocated by Postmaster - General Meyer, Should Be Adopted in the United States."
