NELSON and Mr. Cain were successful in winning four of seven decision contests. Five were, no-decision. These men were gone for a period of about three weeks. This trip, according to their report, had a profound effect on them by increasing their appreciation for Weber College. As they said, "We can honestly and in all sincerity say that of all the schools we have met we would choose Weber .... There is one thing in a school which comes from within and not without and that is a spirit of cooperation. Not one school we have met could compare to Weber from this standpoint." On February 25, 1930 the third team left Ogden. This time the travelers were Weber women, Virginia Nicholas and Dorothy Abbott, and their journey was to take them through Texas, Louisanna, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. During the course of their trip, which lasted about four weeks, they debated a total of thirteen colleges and universities. These schools were: Abilene Christian College-Abilene, Texas; McMurry College-Abilene, Texas; North Texas State Teachers' College-Den-ton, Texas; Paris Junior College-Paris, Texas; Baylor College-Belton, Texas: Agricultural and Mechanical College-College Station, Texas; State Teachers' College - Nacogdoches, Texas; South Park Junior College - Beaumont, Texas; Southwestern Louisanna Institute- LaFayette, Louisanna; Georgia State Col-lege-Tifton, Georgia; Brenau College- Gainesville, Georgia; North Georgia Agricultural College-Dahlonega, Georgia. Out of the above mentioned twelve debates, they won eight. This is really a remarkable record when we consider that all of the contests but two were held with varsity teams of senior colleges and universities. Miss Nicholas and Miss Abbott, in their account, comment very favorably upon Weber College in comparison with the schools which they visited. They say, "If more people could have the opportunity of comparing Weber with other schools they would come to appreciate more and more the wonderful ideals imbedded deep within the institution. They would realize that such a college is a credit to any city Floyd Farr Virginia Nicholas Lee Cain Jay London Dorothy Abbott John Nelson |
