The speakers at the debating meeting agreed that the undergraduate interest was not what it should be for the proper education in debate of Yale men and the right results of Yale debating. As to this, Professor Phelps reminded his hearers that at any rate the alumni appreciated a good debater. The point is a good one, but to the average under- graduate the consideration is not com- pletely compensatory. Prof. Wheeler said that a general apathy towards the public address is just the situation for University men’s corrective and uplift- ~ ing efforts: -This-sets-a noble ambition, but is not in itself sufficient to make young men labor and sweat and fight almost to the death as in the football field. Professor Perrin said that the interest in debate was present, but needed only an awakening. The last point was as true as the excellent ones made by the first two speakers. But are we not left with the practical ques~ tion of how to get at that interest and make use of it for the individual good and for Yale’s good? How else than by just such means as were used last Friday night, greatly varied and in- creased; by such work as has been done by Messrs. Wheeler and Sumner and Perrin and Hadley and Raynolds and Phelps, acting simply as Yale men and speaking and teaching and illus- trating with the force and value of experience and reputation? In footballs standards are held and_ in- piration given by the presence and words of former masters, who are as heroes to those whom they teach. Yet it is much easier for young men, un- aided, to keep. up football than de- bate. When students listen to speeches like those of last Friday, or take part in strong debate themselves, with good coachers, they quite clearly feel all the exhilaration and possibilities and nobil- ity of platform service. Cannot the influences which touch. the general body only occasionally be felt more constantly, and cannot the inspiration which is now given to the few, be given to the many? Let the College appre- ciate debate and it will appreciate the debater. a, & an ~ oe The Yale Battery has been ordered into barracks at Second Regiment Armory, New Haven, at noon on Satur- day, Oct. 15. They will thereafter be mustered out as rapidly as possible. The Harvard football squad has been cut down to forty-five men. STILL A LONG LIST You Furnish Data of Any of These Men?
