...discretion and best judgment, holding out to him as an ideal that he should know his subject so thoroughly as to be able to take part in a debate with Yale or Princeton with nothing committed to memory, with nothing rigidly predetermined, but with the whole question clear in his mind, every argument at his tongue's end, alert, ready to adapt his reasoning closely to that of his opponents. Indeed, to inculcate in him this ideal, and, more immediately, to direct his work so that time and energy may not be wasted,--are the functions of the coach...
Unless the date of the Princeton debate, which will soon be decided upon, should render a different arrangement necessary, the series of interclass debates will be held in the second half year, probably in March. The upperclass will in each instance submit the question. Cups will be awarded to the members of winning teams, and to the man doing the best work in the final debate, the Pasteur medal will be given. Henceforth these interclass debates will assume an added importance from the fact that in the future no class except the Freshman is to be allowed to debate with...

The Freshmen team was composed of J. W. Plaisted, . E. Wood and H. A. Hirshberg, with W. W. Corlett as alternate; the Sophomore speakers were W. O. Hubbard, G. G. Smith and I. I. Mattuck, R. P. Dietzman being alternate. The Freshmen...
...final interclass debate, between the Seniors and Freshmen was held in the Fogg Lecture Room on March 13, and was won by the Freshmen. It was, as usual, the occasion for the ward of the Pasteur medal. The question, which is required to be on some topic dealing with contemporary French politics, was: "Resolved, That France should annex Morocco." The Freshmen had the stronger side of the question and argued with keenness and spirit. Their team was composed of J. W. Plaisted, H. A. Hirshberg, and W. M. Shohl, with N. Kelley, as alternate; G. Bettman, C. W. Gilkey...
