Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin, Professor of American Constitutional and Private International Law, has been recognized by the voters of the State of Connecticut as worthy of their highest gift, and in the recent election the Democrats of the State elected him Governor. While he has thus been honored at the hands of the people, his acceptance of the manifold and perplexing duties of the office also honors the citizens of the State.

Henry Wade Rogers, LL.D., Dean of the Yale Law School, in a recent article to the Independent, says: "The election of Baldwin in Connecticut means much for the State and for the Democratic party. It was a great personal triumph, for he was the only man on the ticket who was elected. No man in the entire State is more respected than Simeon E. Baldwin. No one in either party questions his great ability or his absolute integrity. He represents the best traditions of New England in intellect, in learning, and in character."

The first Interdepartment Debate was between the teams of the Law School and the Sheffield School on the question, "Resolved, That all elective State officers should be nominated by direct primaries." The Law School team, composed of N. P. Cullom, I9II; L. G. Oare, I9I1, and C. R. Wood, I9II, defended the negative, and was awarded the decision. The final debate of the series was held on Tuesday, November 29th, between the teams representing the Law School and the Academic Depart- ment. The unanimous decision of the judges was in favor of the negative, which was again supported by the Law School team. This gives the Law School the championship of the university.

The Law School Society of Corbey Court and Phi Delta Phi, on No- vember 22, announced the election of the following:

Samuel R. Dighton, I9II, \lonticello , 11. Raymond E. Hackett, I9II, New Haven, Conn. Carl de Vore Johnson, I9II, Chicago, Ill. Russell H. Nichols, I9II, Council Bluffs, Ia. Julian S.
