Appointed by National Group
To Study Forensics in
Universities.
Dr. H. A. White, professor of
English, has recently been notified
of his appointment as chairman
of a national committee to study
intercollegiate debating in all its
phases. This committee was au
thorized at a recent meeting of

tensive investigation of several
phases of intercollegiate debate

American colleges and universi
ties. Some of the phases to be cover
ed are the relations between na
tional and International debating,
new methods being used in foren
sics, debate tours and expenses,
fnd the national forensic societies
and their activities. Professor
White will have the last of these
topics in direct charge. The study
will require two or more years to
complete.

Dean Blayney, Who Will Speak Here
Tuesday, Has Practical Knowledge of
World Affairs, Says Col. Frankforter
The following artlrle was written for the Daily Ncbrakin by Col. C. J.
Frankforter of the military department. Colonel Frankfurter will renew
an old acquaintance when Col. LindHey Blayney of Carlton college makea
hf addre at the Temnle theater Tuesday night. Colonel Frankforter and
Colonel Blayney serveti In the aame regiment at Fort Snelllng, Minn., last
aummer. Through the effort of Colonel Frankforter and the military de
partment the Minnesota educator was Induced to come to Lincoln.
Dean lilaynpy, in an appreciation written by Professor
Glascock of the University of Texas, is described as a "practi
cal idealist." While an earnest believer in "the high moral
destiny of the United States, and the call to altruistic Amer
ican leadership toward a new and higher ideal in international
politics." he is no Utopian day-dreamer. ''We live in a da
oi realities wmcn cau ior recog- v
nition," he recently stated, "and
however much we may regret it,
our justly idealistic promptings
must be tempered with a whole
some amount of political common
sense both at home and abroad."
No one has greater right to a
respected opinion on national and
world problems than Dean Blay
ney. For immediately after his
graduation from Center college of
Kentucky, he spent many years of
study in Europe in France, Italy,
Spain and Germany, taking the de
gree of Doctor of Philosophy at
the University of Heidelberg, Ger
many.
He spoke and wrote against the
isolationist policy of the United
States long before we emerged
from behind what be described as
"our Chinese-like wall of national
seclusion." "No great nation of
history," be wrote in the North
American Review, "so truly great
than it had something in its nation
al heart worthwhile giving to the
world, has ever been, or can ever
be, able to seclude Itself behind its
frontiers." Believing in peace,
Dean Blayney, wrote and spoke on
"preparedness' long before the
Great War, for as a student of his
tory and of international affairs,
and through his personal experi
ence in four continents, he knew
that grave and unavoidable world
responsibilities necessarily follow
national economic success.
Stayed In Indis.
Dean Blayney's knowledge of in
ternational problems was further
increased by bis appointment as
