There are scores of men in public life in England today, said Mr. Lehmann, who, like Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Asquith and Sir William Harcourt, owe much of their success as public speakers to the fact that they took part in these Union debates while at college. Here they acquired an excellent training by addressing large and heterogeneous gatherings, which cannot be acquired by speaking before smaller though more intellectual societies. Mr. Lehmann hoped that in the near future some such organization as the University Club might do for Harvard what these clubs have done for Oxford and Cambridge, not only...

He said that in recent debates, especially in this year's Yale debate, there has been a total failure of the opposing sides to really meet in debate, to face and answer each other's arguments. Applying the lesson of the Yale debate to debating in general, Professor Taussig said that if possible a man should meet an opponent squarely on his own line of attack and confute him.

...Brunetiere,said Mr. de Sumichrast, will be the first member of the French Academy to speak at this University. He is a typical Frenchman and one of the best type; he will give us a truer idea of the French and their literature than we can ever derive from paper-covered novels and sensational plays. He is a self-made man, in the best sense of the expression-one who, starting without wealth or rank, has made himself an authority by sheer energy, patience and labor...
