the best parliamentary training of any club in the institution.

G. E. Kindler, one of its ablest orators, won first place in the finals for the intercollegiate debates over the ablest debaters which the U. of N. had produced.

The fact that Nebraska has for several years had one or more women on the interstate debates has caused the P.B.D.C. to recognize their claim for admittance into the debating clubs, and to-day several women are now enrolled among its members.

The following officers now watch over the destinies of the club: E. C. Finlay, president; Hollister, vice-president, H. C. Crouch, secretary and treasurer; Doubt, sergeant-at-arms.

The club meets every Saturday evening and invites all to attend.
