...hoped and expected that many Yale men will take the opportunity to stay over a day or two with friends in Cambridge. Any means therefore which can be devised for entertaining visitors next week will be well worth carrying out.

If the present Sophomore members of the Union and the Forum will take this matter up, and make their final aim a spring debate with the Freshmen, they will at all events have given the idea a trial. No harm can result...
