...trial debate last night to choose Harvard's representatives to debate against Yale, started the preparation for this important contest in rather encouraging fashion. As must always be the case, comparatively few of the men who have already spoken on 'Varsity debates tried for places, but the size of the audience showed that the importance of the event was appreciated.

As before announced, the plan is to divide the Freshmen into squads to contest for their class championship in the Freshman fall games. Upper-class men have been appointed to canvass special sections of the class thoroughly in order to bring out as much material as possible. The object is, as in the Weld Boat Club, to establish a training school...
