1917 TO DEBATE IMMIGRATION

The subject for the annual Freshman triangular debate, which will be held May 8, was officially announced yesterday by the Harvard, Yale, and Princeton managements. The question this year will be: "Resolved, That immigration to the United States should be further restricted by providing that every immigrant shall be able to read and write in either his native language or in English."

This year the Yale affirmative team will meet the Harvard negative in Cambridge; the Harvard affirmative team will meet Princeton at Princeton; and the Princeton affirmative will meet Yale at New Haven. This meet will be the culmination of the series of debates given since last October by the Freshman Debating Society of more than sixty members. The society is organized and its work directed by the Debating Council. The next Freshman debate is scheduled with Brookline, March 19.

The first trials for the 1917 triangular debating teams will be held within the next two week.

University Debate Tickets.

Tickets for the University triangular debate with Yale and Princeton on March 27 will be placed on sale Friday at Amee's and at the Co-operative Branch. Seats on the first floor will be fifty cents and those in the gallery twenty-five cents. Since the abolishment of the subscription system, the support of debating has depended solely on the sale of tickets. The price has been reduced so that every undergraduate may aid the team financially.
