THE DEBATE MEETING.
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.
