Six Survived Preliminaries In France-Amerique Debate

As a result of the preliminary trials for the France-American Oratorical Contest held in Sever Hall last Friday evening, six of the eighteen candidates have been selected who will debate publicly for the medal on May 9. The successful speakers who will appear in the finals are P. E. Belfatlo '21, H. C. Burr '22, W. A. Dencker '20, H. McFadden '21, F. R. Simpson '21, and H. Teplow '20. The contest is of especial interest because it is the first debate in French ever carried on in this country. The judges were Prof. Hawkins, Prof. L. J. A. Mercier, and Mr. E. Raiche.
