NEWTON ALUMNI DEBATE

B. F. Andrews and A. S. Kilbourne won first and second prizes respectively in the Newton Alumni Extemporaneous Debate.

The proposition was: Resolved: That Dartmouth College should substitute for the present elective system of majors and minors, a system, three-fifths elective and two-fifths prescribed, in which the present subjects would be arranged in courses to fit men for vocations or for professional study, with the requirement that each student, by the opening of his junior year, must enter one of the specialized courses.

The contestants were given a day and a half in which to prepare material for the debate. Twelve minutes for the debate and six minutes for the rebuttal were allowed.

The judges were Mr. W. H. Powers '75, Mr. A. F. Libby '06, and Mr. J. H. McChord of Central University of Kentucky '10.
