DEBATING

Preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals for the debating team have sifted down the large squad of candidates to four seniors, two juniors, and two freshmen. These eight men will make up the two teams of three speakers and an alternate to debate the trust problem at Williamstown and in Webster Hall. The alternates and the personnel of the team are to be announced later. For trials the finals were unusually lively and ably debated. C. E. Snow, president of the Debating Union, was awarded first of the Lockwood prizes for excellence in debating, and A. K. Lowell received the second prize. The eight successful debaters are: H. E. McElwain '12, C. F. Shepard '12, D. B. O'Connor '12, C. E. Snow '12, A. K. Lowell '13, S. A. Stavrum '13, A. Hornblow, Jr., '15, E. C. Mabie '15.
