There has been a very noticeable increase in the attendance
of the various debating clubs of the University of late. De
bating was never more alive in the University than it is to
day. The Union Doane debate which was to take place last Sat
urday evening was postponed. It will take place this Satur
day evening at Doane. A largo crowd will accompany the
Union debaters to Crete.
Word has been received from Colorado. They will choose
one of the four questions sent to them by our association, and
will also select the side they desire. It appears this was the
agreement with them last year, when we obtained a like priv
ilege. The Delian boys at their meeting next Saturday evening
will discuss the topic, " Resolved, That any combination to
prevent competition should be prohibited by law." Last Sat
urday they debated the Greater Trans-Mississippi Exposition
question.
The Palladiaus, Saturday evening, resolved themsolvos into
a legislative body and debated the bill now before the legisla
ture providing for free libraries in country school districts.
They did not finish the work, and will debate the same ques
tion again Saturday night.
The debaters of the University are much pleased to see the
old wheel horse Hawxby around again. In attempting to re
move some warts from his nose, ho applied a little too much
carbolic acid. His face was not very presentable for a few
days, but he is around again with the sumo old smile.
The Delian Doane debate will take place in Lincoln, Friday
night, Fob. 17. The question is "Resolved, that Party Alleg
ianco is Preferable to Independent Action in Politics." The
frclians will defend the party side. The speakers a-o W. F.
McNaughton, A. H. Maxwoll,W. H. O'Connoll.
Death of Harry Fleming.
Last Sunday morning at 5 o'clock, Harry E. Fleming died
at 410 No. 12 st. He was sick but seven days altogether.
A week ago Saturday night he felt slightly unwell, and by
Monday his physician thought he was taken down with the
measles. The measles seemed to develop into pneumonia
and after Wednesday he grew steadily weaker until the end.
In the loss of Mr. Fleming the Freshmen class is deprived
of one of its most promising young men. The deceased was
a graduate of tho Sutton high school, where he had been a
faithful student and a prominent member in society. In tho
University he has won the esteem and affection of a largo
number of students. In tho Union Boys Debating Club, of
which ho was vice president at the time of his death, he has
distinguished himself as a high-minded, conscientious thinker.
Because of his ability as a speaker, and on account of his
loyalty for the club he was to have been one of its representa
tives at the contest in Crete last Saturday night.
The honest, faithful work of Mr. Fleming as a student, and
his influence in his social and religious circles in Lincoln,
causes many hearts to mourn. But the assurance that such a
character, which has helped to make this life nobler and
brighter, will surely be blessed hereafter, must inspire those
who knew him to higher aspirations.
The following testimonial was received 'this week by the
Union Boys' Debating club from the Pi Kappa Delta society
of Doane College:
To the Union Boys' Debating Club. Dear Friends: On
behalf of the Pi Kappa Delta society of Doane College, we
desire to extend to you our most sincere sympathy in the loss
of your-fellow member, Flurry E. Flemming, who passed away
yesterday. Although it was never our privilege to know Mr.
Flemming personally, we had looked forward -to forming a
iirm friendship with him during our approaching joint debates.
It is indeed a common loss both to you and to us that he
should be snatched away so quickly from the activities of Uni
versity life. May the influence of his life inspire us all to
higher endeavors and nobler manhood.
