The lectures Monday by Dr. Win. Byron Forbusii were splendid. When ever Dr Forbush appears in the East he is greeted by large audiences and the only reason he did not have a crowded house here was because the people did not know what they were missing.

Prof. Frank M. Karig spoke on "Public Discussions and Democracy." Misses Grace Chadboume, soprano and Ger trude lieevea, pianist, contributed a delightful musical hour in the after noon, and a prelude to the debate in the evening. The debate on Woman's Suffrage last night was great. The affirmative was represented by Harry Hoshour and Donald Pomeroy and the nega tive by Iran!: Morse and Raymond Ziesemer. The boys were in the game with all enthusiasm and vim they could muster. Prof. Rarig says the}7 are so interested that they spend every day looking up new material to spring on their opponents as they go from town to town. It was a rap id-fire presentation of the arguments for and against woman's suffrage which was thoroly enjoyed by all present. The verdict of the three judges was unanimous for the affirm ative, the first time that has happen ed since the boys took the road. The decision was submitted to a ballot in the audience and it was sustained by a vote of 45 to 36. A rising vote of the ladies pres ent on their own personal convictions on the subject was called for. Many did not vote at all, bu» of those who arose, 21 voted in favor and four against woman's suffrage. Raymond Ziesemer, of the negative side, is a former Willmar boy and was thoroly applauded for his spirited sallies. Me is president of the leading forensic society of the University.
