TIma tniQaramount ENROLLMENT INCREASED Prof. Gail E. Densmore, of the speech department, manager of the Michigan High School debating league, has announced the ques- tion for debate for the 1929-1930 season. It is Resolved: That a Judge or a Board of Judges be sub- stituted for the Jury in all State and Municipal Trials in' Michigan. According to Professor Densmore, the league has a record breaking membership of two hundred and sixty schools for this school. year. These schools are in all parts of the state from Calumet near Kee- wanaw Point, the most northern part of Michigan, to Morensi on the Ohio-Michigan border. The debating league was organiz- ed and placed under the control of the University Extension Service in 1917. Since then there has been a state championship debate in Ann Arbor each year. Five talks will be given over station WJR, De- troit, to create public interest in the debates. The League has also sent out newspaper articles to the newspaper of each team' ,shome town describing the work of the league. University students desiring in- formation about the league or the progress of their school debating teams may obtain it at the Debat- ing league headquarters in the of- fice of the University extension service.

Pointing to the fact that1 Christianity began as a modified mystery religion, Mr. Nock showed how the Augustan age changed Christianity from a mystic religion to the embryo of its modern status. The Cambridge speaker left immediately after his lectures here, going to Harvard University, where he will temporarily fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of George Foote Moore. Mr. Nock will, how- ever, be called away in January to continue work with the' Cam- bridge faculty.
