...leading article, "Debating at Harvard University," Mr. E. R. Lewis sounds an alarm to more than the merely inevitable candidates for this branch of activity. He urges men of wide interests, as well, to participate. His plea is undoubtedly earnest and timely, though one could wish that what he conceives to be the greatest benefit from debating--the mental training--had been less dully expounded.

Of the total business, $166,625.15, or 59 per cent., represents the amount of sales made to members, and upon this amount the annual dividend will be paid. The remaining 41 per cent, represents non-dividend-bearing purchases made by the general public. The amount of dividend, as noted by the stockholders, is eight per cent., so that the total disbursement for dividends will amount to $13,330.01, the largest annual dividend payment in the history...
