Intercollegiate Debating Meeting.

A meeting of representatives of the debating interests of Harvard, Yale and Princeton was held at New Haven on Saturday to discuss changes in the debating systems at present in use in the three universities. Harvard was represented by F. B. Wagner 3L., Yale by C. F. Kerrigan, L. O. Bergh and T. F. Hall, and Princeton by N. M. Thomas '05, J. L. Semple '05 and W. S. Davison '06. The proposals stated in Saturday's issue of the CRIMSON were discussed, but no decision was reached except in regard to the suggestion made by Princeton that briefs be submitted in advance by contending teams. This it was felt would tend to confine the debate more closely to the question in hand, and would enable the debaters to work to better advantage. It was accordingly decided to adopt the suggestion tentatively, and to make a trial of it at the next intercollegiate debate. Action on all the other suggestions was postponed.
