...this state of things is far from satisfactory, and must be remedied if Harvard is ever to regain her debating supremacy. The debating clubs have taken a great step in this direction in laying aside petty rivalries and resolving to work with a united purpose.

Accordingly every man should take an active interest in seeing that the good work not only is not impeded, but that it shall be carried on vigorously.

The Harvard speakers, whether they win or lose, deserve the thanks of the University for the work they have done in preparation for the affair. But, after all, the fact that a decision is to be made, that one side must defeat the other, gives these...
