intercollegiate Debate

1.-THE universities of the country said
d student of the trend of the times, ARE
devoting much time to contests of all
kinds. 1t may be that contests in ath-
letics have lead the way for others, but
all kinds of contests are now in vogue for
the trial of skill in all directions"
Birmingham will be represented this
year in the Intercollegiate debates be-
tween Harvard, Princeton and Yale col
leges. The Yale News of February II
states that the team had been selected to
represent that college, and that Clement
Richardson Wood of Birmingham was one
of the team. 1t was selected from class
of more than 40, and among the class we
note Robert Taft, son of the President;
Sorry, a Japanese who won a prize, and
Tsao, a noted debater of that college. The
News states that special attention in paid
to extemporaneous speaking, and that
special points were awarded for excel
lence in that department.. Wood Is In
the Junior law class and went there from
the University of Alabama, where he cap
tured the trustees prize in oratory at
the last commencement.
"In this good country, our southern col
leges have encouraged oratory only to a
limited extent of late years, and it is to
be hoped that they VIII devote much more
attention to 1t In the future"

Some time ago The Forum asked if
Governor Burke violated his oath of
office in the appointment Of state
Senator Purcell as United States SEN
stor He violated the terms of section
80 of the constitution, but gave as an
excuse that no state could prescribe
the eligibility of the members of the
United States. This, The Forum be-
lieves, is a correct view, but technical
ly, perhaps, Governor Burke is not ex-
cused.
Following The Forum article Cover
nor Burke made lengthy and labored
legal explanation of his appointment
of State Senator Purcell citing the ac-
tion of other states.
In this connection 1t is interesting
to note what the trainers of the North
Dakota constitution thought of this
proposition.
The moral effect was considered by
them.

convention on pages 552, 55S and 554,
