DOESN'T AGREE WITH T. R.
Prof. H. T. Hill, Public Speaking.
Takes Exception to Lion-
Hunter's Statement
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, in his autobiography in the Outlook, says, "I am sorry I did not study elocution in college; but I am exceeding myself in the type of debate in which stress is lea, not upon getting the speaker to think rightly, but on getting him to talk glibly on the side to which he is assigned, without rehearsing or what they might be like."
Professor Hill is not of the opinion that a man is doing himself or anyone else an injustice if after carefully studying a question on all sides he changes his mind, for most of our opinions are formed upon a very general sense of evidence. One of the chief values of practice in debating is to train us to form opinions from real evidence and not from hearsaver.
"The purpose of debating," said Professor Hill "is to gain information and to secure training in presenting that information in a convincing way. Only a very few questions used in debates hinge upon morals. Most of the questions chosen are on politics and economics and are stated in such a way that they have two sides."
Prof. H. T. Hill, of the department of public speaking, says in this regard: "There is no inherent wrong with a college debate, in which you do not believe. When a man appears in a college debate, his audience does not expect him to give his personal views on the subjec- tions." He has been signed to that particular side."
The most noticeable features of weather for March, 1914, were the unusually clear skies and low humidities during the first two weeks, according to Prof. F. E. Kester, weather observer. The cloudiness below the March mean: the humidity, however, was not far from normal. In other regards the month was near the average March.
