The third meeting of the "Deutche Verein" was held Thursday at 5 o'clock. Quite an interesting programme had been arranged and the members of the organization are becoming quite enthusiastic over the success of their venture. To the student of German the practice gained from these weekly meetings will be of inestimable value and it is certainly an opportunity well worth taking.
The Economic Debating Society met as usual Monday afternoon at three oclock. The subject for discussion "Resolved that the United States should adopt the free coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one" was of especial interest to both speakers and audience. The affirmative was supported by Messrs Sharp and Griffiths while Messrs Wing and Wilson responded for the negative. After these four had in an able and forcible manner stated the results of their study of the question a few minutes were employed by members of the club in general discussion. The club is well pleased with the progress already made and there is no doubt but that the plan of thus employing one day each week for the discussion of an economic question will prove to be of great profit to those in the Political Economy class.
