AS to whether Bowdoin will accept the
challenge for n debate with Wesleyan,
will probably be settled tomorrow even
ing at the regular meeting of the debat-
ing course. This will concern the formal
action of those interested in debating at
but it seems practically assured
today that the challenge will not be &c
copied.
Although the Bowdoin students are
keenly interested and would be very glad
to enter into collegiate contests with
Wesleyan on general principles, it is felt
that there are several reasons why it is
at this time. The princlpal
reason is the fact that the college Is al
ready engaged III annual contests with
Amherst College and that the contests
with this institution have proved them
selves such a marked success frcm every
standpoint that it would ir no wise be I'D
yisable to think of debating with another
college in preference to Amherst. This
raises the question of whether the college
wishes to support two debating teams.
and while the matter has never before
been discussed here, even if such n thing
should be considered favorably. it is be-
lieved that Eates should be considered BE-
fore Wesleyan, as the latter has 4 prior
claim to considerations. On the whole, it
seems very doubtful if the Wesleyan
challenge is accepted.
One of the attractions of the coming
week will he the lecture by Bliss Perry,
LII D., who will speak in Memorial hail.
Thursday evening, under the auspices Of
the Saturday Club. His subject will be
"Thackeray' and it is expected that the
greater part of the student body will en-
brace the opportunity to listen to this
literary treat.
The first debate in the debating
course for the present semester will
take place, next Tuesday evening. The
subject to be debated is that "a Voter
can best serve his country by consis-
tently supporting one party than by
being an independent voter" The af-
firmative speakers are Soule. '06. and
Linnell, 'OI, and the negative will be
represented by Stevens. '06 and Hup-
per, 'OS. Mitchell. 'O7. will be the pre-
siding officer of the evening.
Professor Lee recently made n trip
to Franklin county where he examined
the Rangeley Lake region where he ey-
amined a deposit of graphite which
promises to be of some commercial
Importance. He also investigated the
deposit of granite in Franklin county.
\ map of the granite deposits of
Maine will be soon issued under the
direction of the State survey commits
sion of which Prof. Lee is chairman.
The Glee Club will begin its rehear-
sails in the near future and it is ex-
pected that the clubs this year will be
of first-class. There is q goodly
amount of last years talent Yet i'll COL
lege, and there seems to be an UNUSUAL
amount of talent in the freshman
class. The music has already been
selected and plans are being made for
the trips.
One of the new clubs in college will
be what is known as the New York
Club. Although there is not an es-
pccially large number of men from that
state in college, there are more than
there has been in the past, and it is
believed that such a club will be benc-
fetal in more ways than one.
