Interest in the annual intercollegiate
debate with Amherst is beginning to be-
shown. Notice has been posted that the
gentleman who offered medals to the
men who made the Bowtioin team in
the Amherst debate, had renewed his
offer for the coming debate. AS was the
case, last year, if the Bowdoin team
wins the debate, the medals are to be
gold, and if the team loses, the medals
will be silver. OF the Bowdoin men
who debated against Amherst team,
last winter, Edwin Laforest Harvey,
90, is the only man in college, this year.
Lunt and Clarke of last years team

tus Pierce, who was the alternate in
last years team, is also in college, this
year, being member of the present
senior class. The debate, this year, will
take place at Amherst, they taking
place alternately at Amherst and at
Brunswick. The debate, last winter
was at Brunswick and was won by the
BoWdoin debaters.
The Quill, the college magazine, made
its appearance, today, and is a larger
number than usual being a holiday
number. The magazine contains some
very interesting stories from the pen of
members of the undergraduate body.

There is some tain of the inter-class
debates among the men taking the de-
batting courses. 1t is proposed to have
a series of three debates for the class
championship, and it is believed that
such scheme would add greatly to the
interest in debating and be very benefi-
cial in working out the debating mate
rial in college.
