No sooner was this news received at Morningside Heights from Le| Roy R. Goodrich, President of the Cornell Debating Committee, than} Walter B. Woodbury, President of the Columbia Debating Union, called | a meeting to decide what should be done about it. One of the Columbia speakers wanted to withdraw if Cornell per- sisted in having a woman debater on its team. He said that the judges would be prejudiced; that the men speakers would not reply harshly to | &@ woman's arguments, and that the fairness of the contest would be} spoiled by sex discrimination. These objections did not go to the root of the matter. A woman cannot argue. She can plead. As a pleader no man can come within championship distance of her. But when it comes to con-| structing a syllogism or to arranging logic according to the rules in the books a woman can no more proceed than a hen can walk in a straight Everybody who has been brought up in the country knows how much easier it is to catch a rooster than a hen.

A woman talks one language and a man another. A wo- man jumps at intuitions and a man reasons out conclusions. | A woman's first impulse is better nine times out of ten than the} borate conclusion of a man’s reasoning. But when a woman under- | fakes to reach a conclusion by reasoning instead of by her intuition she is more often wrong than a man. To a wor is so because it is so.
