The literary life at Columbia has had re-
awakening. as well the athletic. The Columbia
College Debating Society the youngest OF the three
literary societies at the university, mas been au-
mted to membership In the Columbia College De
batting Union. Hitherto the Barnard and Philo-
lexlan have been the only societies wnicn belonged
to the union, and they have held joint debates each
spring. holding other contests between themselves
for the debating honors at the college. As the ar
rangemen;s for the joint debate in 'g5 nau been
nearly completed before the new member was adj
mt,ed TO the union II has been thought advisable
not to change them. Hereafter a preliminary de-
bate will be held To determine who shall be the
challenger OF the winning society OF the previous
year. The effect OF admitting this society into
the union will be good. The Phiolexan and Bar.
