On thil novice or learners level, the society bus just completed n brier tourmuncnt nL Emerson College in lloslon. The new debaters who nrc presently lcam ing the in's nnd out's of this years topic, met very stiff competition in such schools as Harvnrd, M .l.T. and Doston Unjversity.

Three olher frttlcrniLics received honom!Jlc mention for their showing. They were A.T.O., S.P.E. lllld T.K.P. The judges for this contest were Clifrord F.
