ON CLASS DEBATING.

The debating trials for the class teams brought out a miserably small number of men from the three upper classes. As was pointed out a short time ago, the success of the new system of excluding graduates from the University debating team, depends on the response of the undergraduate body. The best men developed on the class teams will naturally have the best chance of making the University team. If we are to compete successfully with Princeton and Yale, who have adopted the same system, there must be a hearty response to the increased opportunity for successful competition by the undergraduates. Trials for the three upper classes which are still open will be held this evening. Any man who is not afraid to say what he thinks and why he thinks it, whether or not he has debated before, should avail himself of the opportunity to gain the valuable experience which the class teams offer.
