...debating team which will participate in the triangular debate with Yale and Princeton on May 5 will be held in Harvard 5 and 6 Wednesday evening at 7.30 o'clock. All candidates for the team should be prepared to deliver a five-minute speech on either side of the question: "Resolved, That the United States should grant complete independence to the Philippine Islands within the next five years."

As has been said before, the average undergraduate has no faith in the present system, a system which...
