This is just what the plan of the Debating Council makes possible by encouraging the organization of informal groups of congenial men for purposes of discussion, to whom it offers the advantage of the helpful, frank criticism of older and experienced debaters,--an inducement which was formerly held out to the clubs. A recent writer in the Monthly complained justly of the deplorable lack of interest shown by undergraduates in important current public questions and we are continually being urged to take an active interest in these questions by prominent men who visit us, as we were by the Bishop...

This is the English system. It is an old one. It has taken a century no doubt to develop it. The boy begins in his school days under the eyes of a master who was athletic, in his days, and the eyes of his older schoolmates. He does this for pleasure; but if he finds no fun in it, he does it because he must. He will be punished if he doesn't, either by the scorn of his fellows or the kicks of the upperclassmen. He has his sport for five or six years until he loves...
