THOMAS H. QUINN MADE HEAD OF '36 DEBATERS

Thomas Henry Quinn '36, of West Warwick, Rhode Island, was unanimously elected president of the Debating Council, to succeed Frederick DeW. Bolman '35, at the final meeting and dinner of the Council, held last night. At the same time Arthur Gilman Sullivan, of Caribou, Maine, was chosen vice-president, and Irving Russell Murray, of Somerville, secretary.

Quinn, who was two years ago president of the Freshman Council and a member of the Union Committee, is at present an editor of the CRIMSON and a member of the Dunster House Committee. Sullivan, who has twice captured the Coolidge Prize for debating, was the winner of the Boylston Prize for elocution last winter.

Quinn said last night that he intends to place more emphasis on the radio side of debating and hopes to arrange a trans-oceanic debate next year between the combined forces of Yale and Harvard and an amalgamated Oxford-Cam? bridge team. Negotiations have also been undertaken to stage a round table discussion in which Harvard, a European university, and a Japanese university will take part.

The dinner, which was attended by practically all members of the council, numbered among its guests of honor President Conant and Julian L. Coolidge '95, professor of Mathematics and master of Lowell House. Additional guests were Moses W. Ware '02, a member of the Faculty Advisory Committee, Edward M. Rowe '27, coach of Debating, and Paul C. Reardon '32, Donald M. Sullivan '33, and Asa E. Phillips '34, former presidents of the Council.
