Thus far, our experience has been that before criticising an entirely new plan it is best to consider old conditions and see if they can be bolstered up to meet new qualifications. Therefore it is well to look at the possibilities of the afternoon exercises if the Senior class should decide to remain in the old enclosure. The decision of the Corporation puts these in a nut shell. If the class of '98 does not wish to move, it must accept the conditions which governed the exercises last year. In other words, it can look forward to no better celebration...
...classes, and the already overcrowded and dangerous conditions under which the exercises are held, the Corporation would be compelled to force either Ninety-Nine or Nineteen Hundred to remove to another place. Its reason for holding off as long as it has was the hope that some class would see the necessity of the change without being forced into it. For these reasons then, namely, that under the present conditions imposed by the Corporation it is impossible to make the exercises interesting and, also, that in the near future one of the classes will be compelled to move, the committee...

Let Seniors look at the old place and consider the law laid down by the Corporation, and they will see clearly that there is no room for improvement over the ill success of last year. The courses which lie open are either to move to a location which will satisfy the Corporation, and where those who have considered the matter agree that suitable exercises can be held, or to remain...
...advantages accruing from a more minute treatment of the question under the three steps of the new system will hardly justify its permanent adoption, for preliminaries should be so arranged as to attract not only the best but the most debaters to compete. We hope therefore that tonight will see many aspirants for the Princeton debate in the Fogg Lecture Room...
...supremacy. The debating clubs have taken a great step in this direction in laying aside petty rivalries and resolving to work with a united purpose. That this aim shall succeed must lie to a great extent with the individuals themselves. Accordingly every man should take an active interest in seeing that the good work not only is not impeded, but that it shall be carried on vigorously. To this end we urge most strenuously that the coming trial see every man of any debating ability competing for a place on the team...
