The World Progresses.

Your recent leader on Professor Hunter's suggestion regarding debates has led me to ask through the "Cockpit" whether the Debating Society's Committee is taking any action in the matter.

On examining the syllabus, I notice that on August 31 the subject. "That the World is Really Progressing," will be debated. This seems to be a particularly vague and comprehensive subject, and it is therefore a good opportunity for the experiment of advertising the meaning of the subject as agreed upon by the leaders (Messrs. Edgley and Aimers).

This experiment would give added interest to the debate and would stop speakers from coming prepared with material on all manner of topics which could be discussed under the subject.

F.C.
