74 THE ATHENAEUM DEBATING B. R- Brazeal Morehouse College has long been famed as an institution that offered opportunity for development in all lines consequently, after football season and during the intermittent basketball games when the bleak winds of winter blow fierce and unmerciful, the students mind is turned to the selection of the college debating team. The preliminaries, semi-final and final speeches and appearances indeed test beyond the shadow of a doubt the ability of the fittest to survive. Out of number of survivors four main speakers and two alternates are chosen. We are in a league with Fisk, Talladega and Knoxville College. Last year we debated Knoxville at Knoxville and at Morehouse. We won the negative side 3—0 and lost the affirmative 2—1. Talladega and Fisk split honors with 2—1 points. This year we debate Tal ladega and Fisk and will indeed find fierce competition. Our Coach Prof. B. E. Mays is not here this term. He is in Chicago University studying for his M. A. Degree. Also one of our debators graduated, Mr. W. M- Howard who is taking law at the U. of Michigan. With all probability Prof. N. Tillman, head of the English department, will be our Director of Debating. DRAMATICS The Atlanta public was greatly disappointed when the More house players did not reproduce a Shakespearean play last year, although it seemed to have very greatly enjoyed and appreciated the plays rendered. Taking congnizance of the disappointment the Atheneaum Publishing Company will present to the public the fa mous Shakespearean drama, Macbeth. This play will be presented possibly in March. Under the supervision of Prof. Tillman the production promises to be a success. Y. M. C. A. DOTS The cabinet members of the Y. M. C. A. of Morehouse were invited to attend the meeting on Sunday Nov. 30, of the Y. W. C. A. Annual cabinet Training Council held at Clark University. There were representatives from Morris Brown, Spelman College, Clark, Atlanta University and Gammon Theological Seminary. The body was divided into two discussion groups. Vital social issues were discussed and the evil and good pointed out. Each one was exhorted to go back to his particular school and make known the findings to the student body. The good effect of such meetings cannot be doubted-
