£V£2 Student Organizations and Activities Illinois' best years in debate during the sixteen-year period were in 1904-05, when she won both debates of the year, defeating Indiana and Missouri; 1909-10, when Iowa, Ohio and Indiana were each defeated, Wisconsin alone registering a victory over Illinois; in 1916-17, when Illinois debaters by defeating the representatives of Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin won the championship of the I. M. I. League and tied for the championship of the Mid-West League; and in 1917-18, when they won for the first time the championship of both Leagues in the same year. On the other hand, Illinois lost all of her four debates in 1912-13, and three out of four in 1906-7, 1910-11 and 1914-15. In each of six years, Illinois won half of her debates. The last two years of the fourteen have each shown a gain, 3 debates having been won in 1916-17, and all four in 1917-18, as against a single victory in 1914-15. The Electrical Engineers' Show was first held in 1907, and has since become an annual event. The purpose of the Show is to exhibit the work of the students in the course of electrical engineering. It serves also to acquaint the general student body and the public at large with the latest developments in electrical engineering science. A high degree of ingenuity is displayed by the students participating, who begin their preparations several months in advance. The Show usually lasts three days. PUBLICATIONS % I \i ft Another form of student activity, entirely voluntary, but of great importance in its contribution to the intellectual efficiency of those engaged in it, is the preparation and publication of various papers, magazines and books dealing with university events or with matters related more or less closely to certain fields of study. The Daily Illini was established in 1871 as a monthly, then called the Student. It became the Illini in 1873. Its frequency of publication increased until in 1902 it was established as a daily with six issues a week. The editor, business manager and bookkeeper of the Illini are now chosen by the Illini Board of Trustees, composed of three members of the faculty appointed by the Council of Administration, and four students elected
