...triangular debates with Yale and Princeton, which will be held this year for the first time. Each university will be represented by two teams arguing different sides of the same question, and all three debates will occur simultaneously. This system has many obvious advantages as compared with the old method of separate debates on different subjects. The six best debaters in the University will be able to practise under one coach on their respective sides of the question, and a better team should be developed than by the former system.

The article gives clearly and persuasively an account of the tutorial method used at Princeton, its faults as well as its virtues, and leaves an impression, strengthened by the editorial, that Harvard would do very well to have something of the sort here, which would give the student a sympathetic friend, not too old, to make his work more a part...
