University Boasts Long List of Victo- ries in Various Oratorical Contests. HAS WON 28 OF 40 DEBATES Of the twenty-one contests in the Northern Oratorical League, nine have been victories for Michigan, more.than twice as many honors as the nearest of her six competitors. Six of these contests were won in succession. Of the peace contests, three of the five State Contests have been victories for Michigan, one Interstate, and in May, 1912, the National Contest, in which more than eighty colleges took part. The university has won twenty-eight of its forty debates; four of the five with Wisconsin, three of the four with Minnesota, three of the four with Penn- sylvania, eight of the twelve with Northwestern, and ten of the fifteen with Chicago. Eleven debates were won in succession. Only one debate has been lost by unanimous decision; nineteen have been won by unanimous vbte, a record unexcelled among large universities.. In order to sustain this unparalleled record, students must, first, support the Oratorical association which main- tains these contests, and, second, take part in the debates and oratorical con- tests through which the 'varsity men are selected. You owe it to yourself to develop your powers as a speaker; you owe it to Michigan to uphold her proud record. 1.. Katherin Oliver McCoy ....................................0ctober 15.

UPI i CHICAGO-MICHIGAN DEBATE JANUARY 17 ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION. The announcement that the Students' Lecture Association had disbanded caused such general disappointment that the University- Oratorical Associa- tion has decided to extend its list of entertainments and, add a short program of lectures and readings. In offering this course the association hopes to give continuity to the custom of each year bringing to Ann Arbor, distinguished public men, who are held up as examples of the speaker's are in addition to presenting its own best student talent and that of other universities who meet us in contest. In so doing, the purpose of the organization,-to foster and develop a strong interest in oratory among the students of the university, has not been lost sight of, and the Association congratulates itself in being able to offer the following numbers for its twenty-second annual program. I SCHEDULE OF CONTESTS. WILL PRESENT "JULIUS CAESAR." Professor T..C. Trueblood Will Read Shakespearian Drama. Professor T. C. Trueblood will pre- sent for the association this year Shakespeare's great oratorical play "Julius Caesar." Those who have heard Professor Trueblood in his artis- tic presentation of "Hamlet," "Mac- beth," "Ingomar, the Barbarian," and in his numerous miscellaneous recitals will not miss this opportunity of hear- ing him again. Extended comment is not necessary, for Professor Trueblood is very well known to Michigan audi- ences. He has read with flattering suc- cess before general and college audi- ences all over this country and in for- eign lands, and while he has always charmed his general hearers, he has not failed to satisfy the most critical audiences everywhere. Shakespeare is always interesting when interpreted by a good reader, and this is a fine op- portu'nity to hear a great play so in- terpreted. The association presents here the only opportunity to hear Prof. True- blood this year. ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION TO PLAY GOLDONI'S "THE FAN" Comedy by the Author of "A Curious Mishap" Will Be Presented March 7. NUll TO SPEAK ON PEACE MOVEMENT I 11 The Hon. Edwin D. Mead Obtained to Deliver Address at Michigan. The annual debate wih the Univer- sity of Chicago occurs January 17. These contests have always aroused the .keenest interest among students,I second only to former athletic con- tests with that institution. Since the "late unpleasantness" with the confer- ence this is the only contest left in which these old rivals are permitted to take part. There is always the keenest rivalry and the hardest kind of forensic contest. The subject this year is a very practical one: "Resolv- ed, that the plan of banking reform proposed by the Nationoal Monetary Commission should be adopted by Congress." An extended bibliography of the subject has been prepared, and also a schedule of the contests, which may be had at the oratory room, 302 N. W., University hall. Those who wish to enter the contests must join either the Alpha Nu or the Adelphi society of the literary depart- ment, or the Jeffersonian or the Web- ster society of the law department. They must be prepared to speak in the& society preliminaries by Nov. 8. Each society will select a team and contest in the inter-department debat- es from which two teams will be se- lected, one to debate with the Uni-' versity of Chicago here and the other with Northwestern University the same night at Evanston. All who have ability as debaters should come out for the teams and give Michigan the strongest trios she has ever had on the platform. The debate with Chicago is one of the regular course offered by the Oratorical association.

NEW COURSES ARE OFFERED TO ENGINEERING STUDENTS. department of the university, whereby the Michigan Technic will be used as one of the required text-books of the freshman engineer English classes, this magazjne will be issued as a monthly publication with the October number. Business Manager Edward T. La- zear, representing the Technic, and a °ommittee appointed by Professor F. N. Scott of the rhetoric department, will meet this week to discuss the mat- ter, and draw up plans to present to the Board of Regents at their next meeting. Tile members and friends of the Ora- torical association have come to look forward with keen anticipation of pleasure to the annual play. Last year the association presented John Tobin's. comedy, "The Honeymoon," and it was pronounced the best amateur play seen at Michigan in a long time. On March 7, the association expects 'to present Goldoni's comedy, "The Fan." Many Ann Arbor people will remember a delightful play, "A Curious Mishap," by the same author, which was played by the Donald Robertson Players some time ago. "The Fan" is about as good a ,play as "A Curious Mishap." It is clean comedy full of interesting situ- ations. The mere fact that Goldoni, whom Browning called "The King of Comedy," is the author, is enough to commend this play. While a still bet- ter play may be selected, the usual high grade performance is assured. Those who take the parts in the play are selected from the best talent among the association members, es- pecially those who have shown marked success in the classes in Shakespear- ean and' dramatic reading. The cast is carefully trained by the department of oratory. Through the annual play the association not only gives its mem- bers an opportunity to enjoy a good play, but also encourages the study of dramatic literature from the acting point of view. M. Geology Course 7 Will Not be Give' Another new course,. that of muni- cipal surveying, has been announced in the engineering department. The new course will be given by Prof. Clarence Johnston. It will be used in connection with a course in sanitary engineering to be given by Prof. W. C. Head, who for a number of years was one of the most prominent men on the faculty of the University of Kansas, and who has been recently se- cured by the Regents of the Univer- sity of Michigan. Prof. Johnston will also give two new courses in forestry. One is a course of topographical draw- ing and mapping, and the other is a course in field topography, designed especially for the forestry students- I Attention is called to the fact that course 7 in geology will not be given this year. Through some mistake, the course appears in the literary an- nouncement in connection with other work offered by the geology depart- ment. It should have been omitted entirely, as Professor Hobbs, who is on a leave of absence, Will not be here this year. Dean Cooley Attends Big Conference. Dean Mortimer E. Cooley left Ann Arbor last night for Indianapolis, Ind.,! where he will attend the fourth Na- tional Conservation Congress which 'will be held in that city from October first to the fourth. Dean Cooley ex- pects to be back. in Ann Arbor the end of this week. i >'' 1 3 4 } ,: BILL FOLDS, CARD CASES, WA PURSES, BRIEF CASES, El NAME EMBOSSED IN GOLD ON LEATHER GOODS FREE OF CHARGE Loose Leaf Note B( I CARD INDICES and FILING DEVICEN OF ALL RINDS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION Waterman's Ideal Fountain AT' Miss Burnham Goes to Library School Miss Adele Burnham who had charge of the reference desk in the library last year, is now attending the New York State Library school at Albany.
