Yale's fifth successive defeat in joint debate with Harvard was extremely discouraging to all who wish to see this university come to the front in oratory. A large majority of the undergraduates here, however, are not interested in debate. They do not realize its importance. The facilities here for the acquirement of forensic training are admittedly very much inferior to those enjoyed at Cambridge, and it is now generally recognized at Yale that a beginning must be made higher up; that the deficiency in the college curriculum must be remddied...

But all we can do is to accept the defeat cheerfully and keep up a loyal spirit, and support the eleven next year even more heartily than this year. We cannot be too grateful to Captain Emmons, Dr. Brooks, Mr. Deland, Lewis, and the other coaches for their untiring efforts this year...
