The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1906

[introduction]

"Shapes of all Sorts and Sizes, great and small,
That stood along the floor and by the wall;
And some loquacious vessels were; and some
Listened perhaps, but never talked at all."

Omar.

URQUENT RUSTICE SANE.

TThe 1906 session of the Debating Society has, on the whole, been a very successful one. Unfortunately in the first part of the year we were handicapped by reason of our having to hold our meetings in a room far too small for such a purpose. Since the Council has furnished the room on the top floor with 150 first-class (?) chairs we have been enabled to hold our meetings there. One difficulty which has always in previous years confronted the Society seems this year to have been obviated. Formerly, owing to the nearness of exams, interest in the later debates has always very noticeably decreased. The presentation of the Union Prize, however, seems to have almost overcome this difficulty.
