preparations now, as Nebraska is doing, if we hope to hold what we have gained from her, and this other fact, that part of that preparation should be in the special training of expression; meaning not dramatic or what is ordinarily understood by oratorical training, but practical training, looking to ease and effectiveness and not to mere ornamentation. Hitherto there has been little or no opportunity offered students to secure this kind of training; and what has been offered has been elementary, and offered to classes rather than to individuals. This year all that is changed; and the work of the second term in oratory will be individual work, while optional advanced training is offered to all who desire it, and will excuse from a part of the forensic work as well.
This optional special training is offered as a second term course. In view of the preparation for the debate, it would perhaps have been better to have made it a first term course; but as the work consists almost entirely of individual training, it will be posssible for the department of English to arrange so that those who wish may take it earlier, and shape it directly toward the preparation for the debates. All students who may wish to make such an arrangement are asked to hand in their names before the first of November.
It may be added further that all Sophomores who for any reason wish to take their regular second term required work in oratory now, may do so. This course is also a course in individual training. All who prefer to do the work in the first term rather than the second are asked to hand in their names at once.
