Series of Debates Will. End Next Year-Trophy Will be Presented. One of the most enjoyable events of Easter Week was the debate be tween the University and Trinity College, which was held in the chapel last Tuesday evening. . Two of the three judges voted in favor of Trin ity, the third judge for Carolina. The visitors had the affirmative of the query, "Resolved, That the United States should grant indepen dence to the Philippines." The main points upheld and refuted by both sides were: the constitutionality of retaining the islands, the financial gain or loss of freeing them, and the capability of the Philippines to receive independence. The debate and rebuttal were, liotly cdntested and received hearty applause from the large and enthusiastic audience. Carolina had every reason to be proud of her representatives. Du Bose, Jeter and Brandenburg, with Brooks as alternate, composed the university team. Mr. Brandenburg was an unusually good debater and was applauded frequently through out his argument. Ratcliffe, Davis and Holton, with Ruark as alternate, represented Trinity. Their debates were good and showed excellent team work. The team that wins next year will be awarded the cup as a final trophy, since the university won last year at Durham. - The two societies entertained the Trinity debaters, the Davidson -base ball team, the judges and Levis Crum with a smoker in Flinn -Hall after the debate.

UNIVERSITY DIVIDES SPOIL WITH DAVIDSON Easter Week Games Bring Many Spectators. Carolina Wins First and Davidson Second-Scores 10-3 and 5-3. Carolina and Davidson divided honors in their two games Tuesday and Wednesday, the first going to Carolina with a score of io to 3 and Davidson coming back the next day with a 5-3 victory. Both games were interesting, both sides doing some good field work and good pinch hit ting. Creighton did the twirling for the - home team in the first game and Per ritt worked out in the second. Fritz vonKolnitz did the receiving for both. Alford caught both games for the Presbyterians while Bell and Morrow divided the pitching honors Tuesday and Osteen worked in the box Wednesday. Our fellows swat ted the pill fifteen times in the first game for safties, while Big 'Un let the visitors down with only eight, but Davidson turned tables the next (lay and got away with eleven of the coveted bingles while Carolina pulled off six. The Tarheels were specially good in hitting in tight places and kept our fellows on the jump to pre vent them from scoring. Shuler was easily the shining star for the Gamecocks in the first game, pulling off two three-baggers. ,and a double out of. four times up,- drpve in four runs ahead of him, miade two scores himself, and put out four Davidson men. Some class to that shortstop ! Perritt starred in both games, out in center the first day and in the box the next ; he pitched a steady, telling game, striking out nine men and got away with three singles in the first game and a two-bagger in the sec ond. VonKolnitz behind the bat caught two steady games, got away with some pretty pegging and han dlIed his stick to good advantage. Rudisill at the first corner and Tom my McMillan at the third also showved upl wvell. and dlid some good work ivith the wvillowv. For David son Tiny Graham was alwvays 0on the job) at second. Witherington at third playedl a goodl game andl hit wvell, and Kluttz p)layedl a good leftfield and pulled off some classy b)ase run mung. The line up for the first game LITERARY SOCIETIES HEAR LECTURE TONIGHT Noted Scholar Will Speak at University. Clariosophic and Euphradian Socie ties Adjourn to Hear Lyman Kittredge of Harvard. The Harvard alumni in South Carolina arranged a rich treat for the citizens of Columbia in the visit of the distinguished scholar in Eng lish, George Lyman Kittredge, on March 29. Mr. Kittredge is perhaps the foremost student of English in America, and the announcement that he will speak at the University of South Carolina has awakened keen interest throughout reading circles. It is probable that his visit will be made the occasion of a reunion of Harvard men in this section. The chief question facing the uni versity is to provide a hall sufficiently large to accommodate all of those who wish to hear him. The present session the university has had a re nmarkable series of gifted men to ad dress it. Perhaps there are few communities in the South that have been more favored by the visits of able men than Columbia during the present year. The presence of men like Professor Kittredge gives an impulse to student life, as well as to the community, of far-reaching in fluences. Davidson. Carolina.

Students and Faculty Enjoy Social Evening with Friends-Delight ful Refreshments Served. Vell, it was fine, wasn't it? It's a pity that a few more girls didn't come, but we had a good time. So spoke the bromides Wednesday evening after the reception at Flinn hall. The feminine contingent was few in number, Columbia College send ing only a few of her fair represen tatives, while the "C. F. W." disap pointed us entirely, as not one of our friends (sisters, cousins, and so on) put in an appearance. But all passed off well.' Everybody met everybody, everybody laughed, everybody talked and nobody listened. Around each many-colored, shining feminine star hovered numerous more soberly dressedi masculine satellites, each putting in a word edgeways when he couldi, and feeling amply rewarded if he received a smile. Of course there were a few couples, secluded in retired nooks, whom no one dare in terrupt. These were looked upon with disfavor by the "stags." Refreshments were served during the evening, the committeemen hur ried around, looking important, talk ing much and doing little. Grad nally the noise died down ; hats, caps, wraps and escorts were sought and found ; and one by one-that is two by two-they departed. By a little after ten o'clock only a few lean, lhungry-looking stags were left munching on the remaining sand wiches in the pantry and disctissing lessons that had not been prepared. The reception had been a success. Dr. Robert E. Speer Speaks in Chapel. The students of the university en joyed a rare treat in the speech of Dr. Robert E. Speer of New York, a graduate of Princeton University, in chapel Wednesday morning. Dr. Speer spoke on "Character." The absolute necessity of character in the world of todlay wvas brought home to the stuldetts and visitors wvho hleard Dr. Speer. Pope (in French class) :"Pro fessor, I fear that you dlon't gather
