...speakers, C. H. Scovell, A. Black and J. D. Williams, excelled in form and analysis of the subject and their rebuttal was particularly good. For Worcester, J. T. Madden, W. E. Prince, and F. J. Rooney based their arguments on England's claim to suzerainty and her right to demand a reduction of the franchise requirements. The Freshmen showed that Great Britain had neither special rights under the conventions nor general rights in international law to interfere, and that the Transvaal was willing to make some concessions.

Such is the condition of affairs in the Transvaal. Such are the outrages which the Uitlanders had to endure.

Graduates who apply for seats will save the management a great deal of inconvenience in returning money by asking for $1.50 seats instead of $2.00.
