TO PROMOTE DEBATING.
Meeting Last Week Addressed by
Pres. Hadley and Prof. Sumner.
One of the first steps of the Yale
Debating Association, which was formed
last year to unify and promote Yale’s
debating organizations, was the meeting
held in Osborn Hall, Monday night,
Oct. 30. President Hadley and Prof.
W. G. Sumner were present and ad-
dressed the students. President Had-
ley pointed out the cause of Yale’s early
failures in intercollegiate debating to be
on account of the fluctuating interest in
the Union. “The one great fault with
debating at Yale to-day,” said the Presi-
dent, “is that logic is much stronger
than presentation, and this fault can
only be overcome by practice.” The
President urged the undergraduates to
take hold of debating with all possible
energy, as it was a subject of great
educational force in the University, and
of the highest value in College life. _
Professor Sumner made as his main
point the difference between debating
and speech-making, and in the latter
part of his address he emphasized the
value of debating. As an example of
speech-making he cited the arguments
in the German and French Parliaments
and especially those in the English
House of Commons.
In speaking of the Yale situation, he
said that it was curious to note that men
graduating between 1850 and 1860 were
almost all excellent public sneakers, but
for the next decade debating was al-
most entirely dropned. This was a
great evil, as a time comes in every man’s
life, that he wishes to be able to express
his views forcefully, and training alone
will enable him to do it. Eloquence is
still a force in the world and to be
eloquent one must drill, cultivate the
voice and practice clear enunciation.
These thinzs alone will make a man
capable.

DEBT STATEMENT.
Remainder unpaid of College
a ee ee $8,000.00
The sum of money brought over from
last year was unusually large, being
made up principally of the insurance
money on the burned grand stand. The
grading at the Southwest corner of the
Field, as shown in the report, cost
nearly $5,000, considerably more than
was expected on account of the great
amount of filling in necessarv to bring
the surface up to the level of the sur-
rounding field. It is money well spent,
_ however, and by next Fall the surface
will have hardened sufficiently to stand
any use it may be put to. A small cor-
ner yet remains to be graded.
The item of $1,300 in “Baseball,” re-
fers to the expense of moving the foot-
ball stands into pocition around the
baseball diamond, a very large sum
when it comes to be paid annually for
this work. Four hundred dollars a
year could be saved right here, if $12,000
or $15,000 could be raised with which
to build a special baseball stand, as the
interest on such an amount would not
run over $700 at the outside. The Field
Corporation does not feel justified in
attempting to borrow sufficient money
to build with, particularly when they are
carrying an $8,000 burden already.
This big yearly expense is a very bad
economy and a way should be found
to stop it, eo
