...debating societies hold their first meeting tonight; and we hope that they may be good meetings. These societies are cultivating, and with no mean speed, an increasing interest in debating. The position which this branch of education formerly held in the University was nothing short of absurd. In a country where good public speakers are a government necessity, and where the number of such speakers is at present distressingly small, it seems beyond comprehension that young men in a position to make themselves good speakers should wholly let slip the opportunity...

The College is quite different from the Graduate School, and must ever remain so. What is very likely good for the Graduate School would not be for the College. Circumstances are altogether different in the two departments. We are aware that the experiment of coeducation has been tried elsewhere...
