...total failure of the opposing sides to really meet in debate, to face and answer each other's arguments. Applying the lesson of the Yale debate to debating in general, Professor Taussig said that if possible a man should meet an opponent squarely on his own line of attack and confute him. There is no use in twisting his statements and then meeting them. Especially in the last retorts one should not be committed to what he is going to say, but be ready to meet and confute all the opponent's arguments and then add a few words...
...through for their annual match with Yale. For weeks the men who will meet Yale's representatives this evening have been steadily and conscientiously practicing, and they have had to master the principles of the short-suit and the longsuit game, since it is impossible to tell which attack the Yale men will adopt.

...correspondent of the Post is now allowed the privileges of the CRIMSON office, and incidentally, it seems, the distinction of being on one of the "best Boston papers," the correspondent of the Advertiser and Record is the only man outside the office. On the face of it, then, the attack made in the CRIMSON would seem pretty clearly to fall on me, or at least on me particularly. Against this I protest emphatically. I will match my spirit of loyalty to Harvard against that of any Harvard man, the writer in the CRIMSON included. I deprecate the evil which exists...
