Tomorrow at one o'clock the Freshman debating team will leave for Poughkeepsie to debate with the Vassar freshman team the subject, "resolved: That the United States should enter into an agreement for the mutual cancellation of interallied debts." This will be the first time that any University debating team has debated with a women's college.

The team traveling to Poughkeepsie will be comprised of the following: F. S. Tupper, H. M. Hart, W. S. Stone, and Dean Mead, alternate. The decision will be rendered by the audience. The team will return to Cambridge Sunday.

Next Wednesday, March 7, the second team of the Freshman debating squad will debate with Exeter on the same will debate with Exeter on the same question. The Personnel of the second team will be: J. M. Perkins, W. P. Exton, H. C. Davidson, and A. S. Keller, alternate. Besides the two debates with Vassar and Exeter, there will be a triangular debate together with Yale and Princeton, the same time that the university team debates the same colleges. According to the triangular agreement, the subject this year selected by Yale and worded by Princeton will be, "Resolved: That the policy of the present administration towards European affairs deserves the support and approval of the house." The term "house" is used to refer to the audience, which in addition to the official decision of three judges in each case, will also render an informal opinion.
