Euphradian T< Orate . c Morse And Rubin Win Declaimer's And Debater's Medals Awarded After Lively Contest Vivian Morse and Ilynian Rubin won the declaimer's and the debater's medals, respectively, last Tuesday night in the Euphradian hall after a lively contest. These medals are awarded annually by the society. Morse, a freshman in academic school, delivered a speech on Kmmett, and Rubin, a senior in the school of arts and sciences, refuted the much discussed query that "The Nations should agree to prevent the intcrational shipping of arms and munitions". Others competing in the contests were James Lynch, Frank Jordan, and Joseph Cohen. All of the contestants in declamation will represent the Euphradian in the Inter-society contest to be held the latter part of May. G. Stanley Bryan, Robert Dunaway, and James Thompson, members of the Clariosophic society, served as judges for both contests. An amendment to the constitution, proposed by James Lynch, came up for third reading and was passed. The amendment reads, "No member of the society shall be eligible to run for office whose electoral qualifications do not conform to that part of the constitution which provides that a member of the society is a qualified voter only when he has attended during the semester three meetings exclusive of receptions and meetings for elections." The election of society officers and members of the debating council will be held on Tuesday, May 14. Will Montgomery and George Rogol were initiated into the membership of the society. ?U. 8. c.?
