President.
The new literary society, the agita
tion of which was mentioned in a re
cent issue of The Battalion, was or
ganized in the parlor of the Austin
Literary Society Saturday night.
Preliminary to the organization
Profs. Bressler, Britton, and Griswell
made very convincipg talks on the
necessity of a technical man having
the ability to address public gather
ings. These gentlemen expressed a
willingness to assist in the work of
both the new society and the Austin
Literary Society.
The new society is a literay and
debating club and* starts out with
twenty charter members, bidding fair
to arouse much interest among the
students in literary work. A number
of seniors are joining in order to get
some practice outside of their course
in public speaking.
Programs will be rendered every al
ternate Saturday night in the Austin
Literary Society’s room until quarters
for the new society are arranged.
The members of the society extend
