in Die fate of confessed prejudice,
against t hi ir side, by all three Jndgen
At Illinois the interest in debate this
year Is the greatest in the history of
the University. The audience at the
Illinois debate was the laigent ever
known at a debate there.
The Kansas-Colorado debate takes
j.lace at Boulder; the Kansas-Missouri
debate at Lawrence. Both these con
tests Kansas won last year, Nebraska
being the only team that lowered the
colors of the Jayhawkers.
For the Minnesota debate Iowa picks
her team tonight. At Iowa there is an
opidennc of student squabbles this
year, the latest, apparently, being on
over the Judges for this preliminary.
The 'Dally Iowan" states that over
ten names have been suggOLted by the
societies which have got control of that
contest and that all have so fai been
refubed.
On the inter-state debate bulletin
board appears the recent number of the
University of Chicago "Maroon" con
taining the picture of Cecil North, '02,
whom Chicago appointed aa one of her
three representatives In the Central
Debating League contest With North

him ?reat honor, and, Incidentally,
$170.

The Palladlan Debating club will
meet next Saturday evening nt 8 o'clock
sharp, and the advisability of discon
tinuing the Monroe Doctrine will be

in logomachy, or sit quiety in their
seats during the bombastic onslaught
are cordially invited to attend with
out regard to age, rank or lass dis
tinction. " .
Tho lively meeting last Saturday
evening infusejl a contentious spirit
among the logicians aud the heavy nlr
that shrouded the early part or the
meeting was pierced by the heavy
volleys of rhetoric and tho exhibition
of correct reasoning Tho seemingly
undeniable facts exposed by one side
were butted Into and denunclated by
the other. The preponderance of evi
dence swayed from side to sldo until
the best informed minds were unable
to judge which side of tho question
they believed.
Come out and catch tho fever of this
debating spirit and be a participant
In the ejaculations.
