...last meeting of the University Debating Council, it was voted to hold the annual debates with Yale and Princeton this year on the same evening, if Yale will consent to having the date of the Harvard-Yale debate changed from May to March. According to the present schedule, the University debate with Princeton will be held in Cambridge during the latter part of March and the debate with Yale in New Haven in May. In order to give the triangular scheme for holding the three intercollegiate debates between Harvard, Yale and Princeton all on the same evening--a plan that...
...requesting Yale to change the date of their annual debate with Harvard to coincide with the Princeton debate, the Debating Council has done its part toward giving the system of simultaneous debates a fair trial at Harvard. Our authorities have never consistently urged the adoption of this plan, leaving Princeton to stand alone as an advocate of the change. As a result we have had no actual demonstration of the value of the system, and can only judge it by its success in other triangular leagues. From Harvard's point of view this year is an excellent time to test...

Some facts, however, have geen gathered. We now know the name and occupation of his father, the parentage, name, and marriages of his mother, the place and date of his baptism, something of his education, his marriage, his emigration to America, his short ministry in Charlestown, his bequest to the infant College, and his early death. Of his brothers and sisters we know the names, and the dates of their deaths. From these a few other matters may safely be inferred; his Puritanism, for example, his feeble health, his interest in learning. Still other matters are conjectured by the author...
