(3ratoril Ass ocIIat on iresident Gives
Address of Welcome In
A udihjrium
Cambridge debaters, upholding the
affirmative side of the question "Re-
solved, that this house pities its
grandchildren" against the Michigan
debate team last night inM Hill audi-
torium were declared victors by a
vote of the audience following the de-
bate. Cambridge received 573 votes
while Michigan was given 205.
About 2,500 were in attendance at
the debate. Sen. James Couzens pre-
sided as chairman, and Thomas C.
Dixon, president of the Oratorical as-
sociation, under whose auspices the
international debate was staged, gave
the address of welcome to the visiting
team.
Michael Ramsay sounded the open-
ing note of the debate as the first
speaker when he stated emphatically
that man's "power over nature" is
leading to his degeneracy. He point-
ed out that the rate at which science
has progressed in the past is nothing
to what it will progress in the future.
"In order to have a stable civiliza-
tion with the progress of science" he
said 'ran must offset the disadvan-
tages of scientific progress with a
spiritual progress."
Ramsay explained that the great
physical comforts and conveniences
that science has given to man are
only serving to cause his physical
decline. "In the Roman empire, he
said, civilization declined because the
Romans ceased to work, they used
slaves to do all the work--man in the
future will use the instruments pro-
duced by science to do his work and
will himself degenerate.
Elmer Salzman, '27L, first speaker
for the University, presented argu-
nlents against the contentions of
Ramsay and pointed out to the au-
dience the advantages of science. HeI
talked of the development of sanita- i
tion, playgrounds, and physical educa-1
tion. In refuting the Cambridgej
speaker's contention in regard to
liberty, Salzman said "Science is giv-
ing people liberty rather than depriv-
ing them of it. Man has a freedom
today to choose his own occupation
and the methods of transportation and
communication has added much to his
liberty."
Ile then pointed out that the grand-
children of the people will be safe
from attack for the United States isl
immnune from outside invasion. To1
further this point and offer a protec-
tion against the "Yellow peril" he
suggested the possibility of an Eng-
lish and Aimerican alliance as a de-,
idge, and based on the colonel's
charges in public statement s relating
to the army and navy air service ad-;
ministrations, swept forward rapidly
with plain indications that the court
would clote for findings probably this
week.
Numerous pleas entered in behalf of
the air officer by Rep. Frank R. Reid
of Illinois, his civilian legal advisor,
availed nothing. The court left the
chamber several times to vote i
secret on contentions advanced by the
defense counsel. The members re-
mained seated behind the bench just
as often, however, accepting the opin-
deua tiet; withincompetency, crim-
m:le - negligence and almost treason-
able admiinstretion of the national de-
fense-the act for which he is charged
with violation of the 96th article of
war was 'overruled by the court al-
t at tlie einning of today's ses-
sions.
The deClision on this point estab-
lished the legal competency of the
court to sit in judgment of the ac-
cused, and a plea that he had been
within constitutional right, exercis-
ing only the privilege of free speech1
when he published the statement, were
quickly rejected.

Pcrformace Is Second Appearancec
Of Production In Mid.West;
Pay At Whitney
Tonight Minne Maddern Fiske,
Chauncey Olcott, Thomas Wise, James
Powers, and a number of others will
offer Richard Brinsley Sheridan's
comedy of manners, "The Rivals", at
the Whitney theater, signifying the
opering of the annual series of the
Michigan theater league.
This production, under the manage-
ment of Hugh Ford and George C.
Tyler, toured the whole country last{
i year, with the same cast. It is one
of the plays that make up the con-
tribution of the theater to the Ameri-
can sesquicentennial year, the sec-
ond of which, "The School for Scan-
dal", also by Sheridan, will open very
soon in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Fiske appears as Mrs. Mala-
prop, and Chauncey Olcott, known for
his Irish characters, plays Sir Lucius
O'Trigger.
The character of Bob Acres is
handled by James T. Powers, and that
of Sir Anthony Absolute, by Thomas
Wise. Lotus Robb does the part of
Lydia Languish, a role played at one
time or another by Viola Allen and
Julia Marlowe. Marie Carroll is Lucy.
Captain Jack Absolute is played by
Donn Cook, and Julia by Jean Ford.
Fred Eric as Faulkland, Gerald Rog-
ers as Fag, George Tawde as David,
and Herbert Belmore as Thomas, the
coachman, complete the cast of char-
acters.
The performance at the Whitney
theater tonight mark the second visit
of "The Rivals" to middle western
cities. After its presentation in this
part of thetcountry, the play will be
taken into the southern states.
It was in the absence of actable
native drama of the Colonial periodl
that the American stage turned to
Richard Brinsley Sheridan for its in-
spiration in the celebration of the
150th anniversary of our beginning as
a nation. Sheridan is recognizedi as
one of the most brilliant dramatici
writers of the eighteenth century, and
was also a man of unusual senatorial
ability in the English parliament, be-
ing a contemporary of Burke, Pitt, and
Fox. He was a strong adherent of the
cause of the American colonies when
that question was engaging the atten-
tion of British statesmen. "The Ri-
vals," his first dramatic work, was
orriginally produced Jan. 17, 1775,
only a few months before the begin-
ning of the revolution.
