MERRICK DEBATE |G W, L1 FREGHMEN | SET FOR TONIGHT Georgetown’s Most Impor- tant Forensic Contest to Take Place. Georgetown University’s most im- portant forensic contest, the annual Merrick debate between teams repre- senting the historic Philodemic loty, will take place tonight at 8:15 o’clock in_Gaston Hall. Usually attended by the entire col- lege faculty and many alumni, the Mer- rick debate has me an institution at the Hilltop and participation in the contest is perhaps the highest scholastic goal to be attained by studeats of the college. The Philodemic Society Is said to be the oldest debating organization in any American university, having been organized September 25, 1830. Next oldest at Gceorgetown is the Philonomo- stan Society, which dates back to 1839. ‘The question selected for debate is, “Resolved, That the great power re- sources of the country should be de- veloped and operated by the Govern- ment.” With all the material furnishad on this topic during debates in Congress and speeches during the recent cam- mn. the Georgetown debaters have every opportunity to study both .;:des of this highly controversial ques- lon. The Debaters. James P. Quinn and Charles P. Maloney will oppose Government opera- tion, while the affirmative side will be defended by James F. O’Donnell and A. Milburn Petty. They are all mem- bers of the senior class from which the Philodemic Soclety draws most of its debaters. Edward F. Cavanagh, jr., an- other senior, will be the chairman. The moderator of the Philodemic So- ciety is Rev. John J. Toohey, 8. J., who also is coach of Georgetown’s intercol- lwtfh'/e debating teams which have met iwith unusual success in recent years. The Merrick medal was founded by Richard G. Merrick 73, one of' the most prominent of Georgetown’s alumni and is awarded each year to the debat- er_voted to be the best, both as regar to delivery and style. ‘ Another event of interest to George- town students and alumni this week is the benefit performance at the Nation- al Theater tomorrow evening for the Georgetown University Hospital. Presi- dent Nevils and other members of the faculty have taken boxes for the per- formance, which is a revival of the fa- mous English Restoration comedy, “Beaux Stratagem.” Proceeds from the ‘benefit will be used to extend the char- itable work at the hospital and the zdlu' board constitutes the committee charge. g In accordance with the season of Ad- ‘vent, Rev. Dr. W. Coleman Nevils, 8. J., president of the university, has insti- ‘tuted a service in Chapel dur- ing the four Sundays of Advent for 1 . €| on Monday, June 17.
