In the debating contest between F. & M. and Penn State last Fri day evening, the audience witnessed one of the closest contests that ever took place in the Auditorium. Until the last speaker had present ed his refutation, it was hard to decide which side deserved the laurels, but the judges decided in favor of Penn State by 2-1. One very striking fact about the whole debate was that the interpre tations of the two teams did not agree. The affirmative interpreted ‘‘justified”, mainly in regard to the legal and moral phase, while the negative maintained that it referred only to the welfare of the citizens of the United States. Mr. Holben opened the debate for F. & M. and in a very logical speech, well presented, gave the issues which his side intended to establish. He discussed fully the legal question, and the one concern ed with naval affairs. Mr. Horst, the first man for the negative, gave an effective analysis of the question. In a clear consist ent discussion he brought out his phase the subject, namely that JJpiitialvratina is r—.s"-ntrip — that it is in sympathy with the present governmental policies. Mr. Shearer, for the affirmative, probably rendered one of the best dissertations of the evening. His manner was convincing and his speech clear and direct. He advo cated fortification as the only com mercial and economical policy. Mr. Nichols very ably established the fact that the United States is strong enough to enforce neutra lization. Mr. Stehman for the affirmative in a well composed discourse called the attention of the audience to the fact, that by fortifying the canal, the United States would act as a beneficial agent to the rest of the world. Mr. Levisee in closing gave an accurate description of the geo graphical location of the canal. He explained the utter impossibility of attack in case of neutralization, and showed the folly of fortification. His speech was forceful and well balanced. The refutation of both teams was excellent. Several points at issue on both sides were disproved and substantiated. Our visitors from F. & M. may be complimeted on their proficiency in refutation, and the fair and square attired r which they assumed throughout the debate. While our negative team was for tunate, our affirmative was unfortu nate enouge to lbse to F. & M. at Lancaster by 3-0. It seems that two exceptionally strong teams were pitted against each others. The contest was ably upheld by both factors but it seems as i our opponents must have brought forth an interpretation which seem ed more plausible by our delegates. Both teams must be compliment ed for their zeal and for their untir ing efforts in endeavoring to con quer.

Mr. Armstrong, 1911 Biologist of Penn, closed the speech making in truly lively manner. After the 1911 class yell and the college yell, all departed with a feeling that it “is good to be a Penn State man.” Those present were: Ex-’ll—E. P. Allison, J. Arm strong, K. H. Bair, J. W.

Locomotive and Dynamometer Car Donated to the College. The old locomotive number 01001 and the dynamometer car number 495592, which the Pennsylvania Railroad company loaned this col lege in 1906 and 1911, respectively, have been donated to the college. The donation resulted on action by the Board of Directors of the rail road company at a meeting held by that body on February 14. At the suggestion of the railroad officials, the present lettering and numbering will be removed from the equip ment. Since their arri al at State College, both pieces of apparatus have been used in Railway Mech anical engineering, and have proved invaluable for instructional a> c l ex perimental purposes. From this time forward the equipment under discussion will be the absolute property of the college and repre sents a gift from the Pennsylvania Railroad of about $30,000. .PENN STATE!
