Josiah W. Bailey will denounce the Ku Klux Klan and Dr. W.A. Hamlett will extol it before audiences in Memorial Hall. Dr. Hamlett will speak Friday evening, January 30 at 8:30 p.m., and Mr. Bailey Friday evening, February 6, at the same hour.
These speeches will be delivered at the instance, under the auspices, of the Di Senate. The historic Di Society, one of the University’s two debating organizations, decided not long ago that it was getting to be dull and was not playing as important a part in the University as it should. It changed its name to Di Senate and set out—in the phrase of the students—to “put some pep” into its activities. The first step in the program of enlivenment is to arrange this argument between a foe and an adherent of the Klan.
Dr. Hammett is the editor of the Kourier Magazine, the national publication of the knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Before he assumed this position, he was a minister and lecturer.
