...held at New Haven, Oct. 20. Each of the three universities interested, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, will be represented by one member of the Faculty and by one undergraduate. This meeting is very much needed, for, since the last conference, held in 1896, many questions have come up and been settled only temporarily for the debate in question. Hence it has seemed timely and advisable that a more definite agreement be reached upon several important points.
