DEBATING SOCIETY ORGANIZED

The Lincoln-Douglas Debating Society of Dartmouth College was organized recently by the adoption of a constitution and the election of officers for the coming semester. This organization has for its purpose the training of men in debate and public expression. The society is designed for men who like debating, but who have had little opportunity to develop themselves in the art. No existing organization up to the present time has attempted to meet this need.

By rule of the, society, any member of the College may become a candidate for membership by written application to the secretary-treasurer. Admission to the society will depend very largely on the applicant's interest and desire to do real work and not on his previous record or present skill in debate. The present society is a serious and earnest attempt on the part of a group of men interested in debate to remedy a recognized deficiency in debating at Dartmouth.
