ment as proposed by DR.. Boggs and faculty

ular debates. A motion to establish the
parliament also in the Phi Kappa Society
has been introduced and will be voted upon

The scheme has been approved by the stu

an adjunct TO the societies it has
been referred to them for final
action. There Is some opposition to
both societies. though it is thought that the
plan viii be adopted by a sufficient number
to insure its successful operation. The fol-
lowing officers have been elected in the De-
mosthenian Society for the parliament:

ley; clerk. o. c. Turner; sergeant-at-arms

est In debates has been thoroughly tested in
some Of the leading northern and southern
universities, and no fears are entertained
for its success

sarian in the Demos:heaian Society will
