The first semester schedule for the varsity debaters is as follows:

The annual interfraternity debate tournament began on November 12. Last year the debate cup was won by Theta Delta Chi. Other winners since the institution of the tournament have been Chi Phi, twice; Phi Delta Theta; Kappa Kappa Kappa.
The freshman schedule is heaviest during the second semester. At present the thirteen members of the squad are making a close study of the debate question and indulging in practice debates. However, they will see some action before February.
