PENN STATE WINS AND LOSES
The Affirmative Debating Team of
F. & M. is Defeated at State Col
lege, and our Affirmative is
Defeated in Lancaster.
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.

“The Relation of the Alumni to
the College" was the subject of a
few words spoken by our Ex-Alum
ni Secretary, P. Edwin Thomas.
Pearl showed old time form as an
orator and “went strong” for our
Alma Mater.
Impromptu speeches were made
by W. K. McDowell, “Rube” Mott,
Kepner, McMillan and R. H. Smith.
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.”

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.
