...debating team will meet Yale in their third annual debate. The debate will be open to all members of the University and to the public. The subject for debate is: "Resolved, That United States Senators should be elected by a direct vote of the people." Yale has chosen to support the negative, and Harvard will argue the affirmative. C. B. Randall, A. D. Brigham, and F. Stern will represent the University in the order named, while Yale will be represented in order by A. C. Tener, D. McConaughy, and J. W. Young.

Of recent years it has become the custom to speak rather disparagingly of lacrosse at Harvard, and to designate the members of the squad by an amusing but not particularly delicate title. It is hard to understand why this feeling exists at Cambridge, but it undoubtedly does exist, and it can only be done away with by the good record and the personnel...
