—The largest audience of the season greeted the Ritch
ies in the Chapel March 14th and were regaled with an even
ing of "music, mirth and magic." The music was not
classical and was thoroughly enjoyed by a large number of
people. Miss Reid's impersonation of the society girl of
various cities brought fourth rounds of applause. Ritchie
with his wit and magic kept everybody alert. His levitation
was highly mystifying, but the Professor would do well in
the future to see that the lines of force do not have such a
material creak. The entertainment was a practical demon
stration of the fact that the hand is quicker than the eye and
merited the well-filled house.
—A trial debate was held in the Chap& Friday evening,
March 21st, for the purpose of choosing a team for the corn
ing contest with Franklin and M4,rshall. The small but
interested audience was of the opinion that the argument
was better in many respects than in the inter-class debate
on the same question: Resolved, That the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States has'been justi
fied. There were four speakers on the affirmative and three
on the negative. The judges, Dr. Runkle, Dr. Trenholtne,
Prof. Surface, Prof. Foster and Prof. Babb, selected a team
consisting of Mrssrs. H. C. George, C. S. Bomberger, and
R. H. Aungst with C. A. Thompson as subsitute. This is a
strong team, and by earnent work and the hearty co-opera
tion of the students, should meet with success.
