Scope and content
Charles C. Hewitt, at this point a student at Lehigh University, writes the Thencanic Society thanking them for electing him an honorary member. He also discusses the "Forum," Lehigh's debating society, and how it compares to the Thencanic. Finally, he gives the current membership several items of advice, from never refusing a challenge from the Normal Debating Society to avoiding a "swelled head." Transcription included.
