Adelphic Literary Society Debate. On the evening of February 20th, the first preliminary debate will take place. Eight members of the Adelphic Literary Society will compete, and from them, three speakers will be chosen for the final trial debate. Each speaker shall have two speeches. He shall be allowed nine minutes for his opening speech and three minutes for his second speech in rebuttal. The opening speeches shall be delivered in the order assigned, and the rebuttals shall follow in the same order. In every trial debate, the sides and order of the speakers shall be determined by lot and announced twenty-four hours before the debate takes place, and no earlier. There will be no admission fee. All students are cordially invited to be present. It is hoped that the town people also will turn out well, and give Adelphic Literary Society a large audience. Interest in these preliminary debates means interest in the final debate.
