FRESHMEN DEBATE YALE

At 8 o'clock this evening in the New Lecture Hall the Freshman debating team will meet Yale in their third annual debate. The debate will be open to all members of the University and to the public. The subject for debate is: "Resolved, That United States Senators should be elected by a direct vote of the people." Yale has chosen to support the negative, and Harvard will argue the affirmative. C. B. Randall, A. D. Brigham, and F. Stern will represent the University in the order named, while Yale will be represented in order by A. C. Tener, D. McConaughy, and J. W. Young. The judges will be: Mr. J. Mitchell Chapple, editor-in-chief of the "National Magazine," Mr. Walter S. Parker, assistant superintendent of schools in Boston, and Mr. D. O. S. Lowell, headmaster of the Roxbury Latin School. Assistant Dean W. R. Castle '00 will preside at the debate.

After the debate there will be a Freshman smoker in the Dining Room of the Union, to which the judges, the ushers, the members of the Glee Club, and the members of both teams have been invited.

The team which will represent Harvard was chosen on March 29, and since then, under the direction of Coach S. F. Peavey 3L., it has been holding practice debates twice a week with the second team, composed of E. P. Felker, R. A. Files, and C. A. Woodard. The team has developed fairly rapidly and seems to be up to the standard of the last two Freshman teams which have debated against Yale.
