The second intercollegiate debate in which the University ever partici pated was won from Trinity Col lege last Saturday night. This was the second win in debating contests in one week. The debate was held at Durham, N. C., in Trinity Col lege chapel. The query was: "Re solved, That Congress should enact a federal incorporation law contain ing. definite terms and restrictions by compliance with which industrial corporations may have federal char ters to engage in interstate com merce." Understanding," (i) that the constitutionality of the proposed law is granted; (2) that incorpo rations under the law is voluntary. The Carolina representatives were: Alan Johnstone, Jr., New berry; H. G. Goggans, Newberry, and E. P. Guerard, Jr., Charleston, with F. W. Cappelmann, Charles ton, as alternate. The Trinity speakers were: H. M. Radcliffe, W. A. Cade and E. J. Londow. The negative side was upheld by the University and the affirmative by Trinity. Mr.. Radcliffe, the first speaker on the affirmative, cited the evils, such as overcapitalization, under the present laws, and stated that federal . incorporations would pre vent these. Mr. Guerard, the first speaker on the negative, began by defining interstate commerce and industrial incorporations and showed that uni formity of law was impossible in view of our form of government. Mr. Cadle, the next speaker on the affirmative, stated that federal charters would benefit people by preventing present evils and would also benefit corporations since incor porations would be voluntary. Mr.. Goggans, the second speaker on t'ie negative, showed that such a me r-e is impractical and unneces asl WINS I TRINITY COLLEGE Mr. Londow, the last on the af firmative, urged the adoption of the proposed law, because this law is the sovereign expression of the federal government over interstate commerce. Mr. Johnstone, the last on the negative, argued against a federal incorporation law because, (i) it would bring about overcentraliza tion and (2) all these benefits could be accomplished by a federal license. The judges were: R. H. Lykes, Durham, N. C.; Dr. J. L. Mann, Greensboro, N. C., and W. L. Fou shee, Durham, N. C. J. B. Man ning of Durham was the presiding judge.

After the debate a smoker was given in honor of the Carolina rep resentatives. Professor Rucker, who had accompanied the team to Durham, Alan Johnstone and oth ers were called upon for short talks. One of the most interesting fea tures of the debate was the hearty welcome which the Carolina men received. Trinity made every effort to give the visitors a good time, and all who attended the debate from Carolina returned feeling that they had been treated royally. A. T. Stratton at Mid-Week Meeting of Y. M. C. A. Wednesday night A. T. Stratton, secretary of the Columbia Y. M. C. A., spoke at Flinn hall upon the value of the professional and busi ness Christian to the community. The speaker asserted that one is apt to look upon Bible characters as professional Christians, but in real ity they were only business men. For instance, Abraham would in our day be called a cattle rancher. These men made themselves felt by what they did in their spare time, just as many of our business and professional men are doing today. The talk ended with an earnest appeal to college men to work for the uplift of the commonwealth. Carolina Alumnus is Teaching at Whittier, N. C. Most of the students remeniber H. F. Latshaw.
