It was also thought that these clubs would afford a good chance to grade and sift the rowing material for the University crew by means of a series of races.

Among the objects of the Yale Debating Association is the bringing about of a series of debates between various college debating organizations in order to afford opportunities for public speaking, which have heretofore been lacking. Hitherto the various debating organizations have been more or less in conflict, but, under the new system, they will all work together with the Yale Union as the central organization of the University. At the meetings of the union, parliamentary...
