The attendance at convocation Wed nesday morning was not as large as it should have been and the mass meet ing In tho interests of debating was rather devoid of the enthusiasm so manifest in like meetings last fall. Chancellor"vAndrowB, in Introducing the subject, laid Bpecial stress upon the support duo all teams of the uni versity by tho student body. Prof. E. A. Itoss. who is lecturing at Harvard this week, sent the following note, which Chancellor Andrews read and emphasized: "Though I am absent, my heart is with you In the debating roll. Surely the team which has for three months been working in silence will be greeted by a full and cheering house.

The Nebraska Wesleyan nine proved easy victims to the superior skill and ability of the 'varsity team yesterday, being defeated by a score of 18 to 1, after seven Innings of rather one sided play. ThlB was the first game of the season with a team from another school and the boys were given a fair chance to show what they could do. The Methodists were out-played in every respect, and could hardly make tho game Interesting to Captain Bell's colts. The Wesleyan men have not had the practice and experience of the university team, and It Is greatly to their credit that they were able to do what they did ENGINEERING NOTES.

In the annual interstate de bates the university has its only oppor tunities to discover what it Is develop ing In the mental line. In debating the university is undoubtedly behind other universities of its own rank in other matters. In Colorado the debater gets the credit for what ho deserves, and In Wisconsin he receives the highest honors awarded to anyone. Mr. Fogg Impressed it upon his hearers that tho university owes the team support both because it deserves it and because it needs it The members of the team, ho said, have spent much time and labor on the debate and it is only fitting that they should be given hearty sup port. Dr. Hill said that at times there was some reason fQXJndtfference in debat ing because often the "debaters are mere talkers. This year, however, the de baters have been spending much time on sound thought and careful investi gation and they have beon made to think instead of talk.
