In the United States the era of 1830, as Professor Sihler points out, "may In some respects be called the golden age of American oratory, when Webster, Clay and Calhoun, Benton and Everett, shone as stars of the first magnitude in the Armament of national life."

Bunco was played during the ; lng the first year were the following: "Ought honor or wealth to be most sought after by man?" "Is Andrew Jackson or Henry Clay most fit for the office of President of the United States?" "Is the fear of punishment or the expectation of reward the greater incentive to Industry?" They wisely interspersed serious with humorous discussions. A debate on "Were the English Justified in sending Napoleon Bonaparte to the island of St. Helena?" was followed by one on "When a pig is led to market, with a rope tied about his neck, the other end of which is held by a man, Is the pig led by the rope or by the mair?" Of course the old standby was found among their discussions, "Are all minds originally equal?" Considering an idea of some of the most prominent founders of New York university --to wit. that the study of I.atin and Greek should not receive undue emphasis-- It Is Interesting to note that the students decided the following question in the affirmative: "Whether the study of the dead languages Is of use or not to those who do not Intend to be professional persons." Even at this time (January, 1834), the subject of slavery was receiving the attention of the students. They asked the question, "Would the Immediate emancipation of slaves in the United States be justifiable?" and decided In the negative. Even then, too, politics was politics to many a mind, for the students debated the question "Is political ambition consistent with moral Integrity?" For Mrs. Ada Bobb Mrs. A. C. Reynolds and Mrs. F.
