The University chapter of Delta Sigma Rho, an honorary debating fraternity, has established a bureau to help high schools and small colleges organize debating societies and establish debating systems. The establishment of this bureau is the result of numerous appeals that have been made to the chapter for assistance of this kind. The service will be in the nature of help in organization, and not in coaching, and will be confined to schools and colleges in Boston and its immediate vicinity.
The bureau will try to put into practice several reforms in debating which the chapter has tentatively supported in a series of resolutions it has possed recently. These reforms follow the tendencies towards more informal debating which mark the innovations which will be put into effect in the Harvard-Yale-Princeton triangular debate to take place on March 23, but they go much further. They are briefly as follows: First, to have the audience render the decision and thereby have more attention attracted to the question. Second, to have no rebuttal. Third, to have less formal preparation. Fourth and last, to try to come closer to the real truth of the question.
It was announced that all applications for the bureau's service should be sent to R. S. Fanning '23, the President of the University chapter of Delta Sigma Rho, at Stoughton 15.
