In order to give the triangular scheme for holding the three intercollegiate debates between Harvard, Yale and Princeton all on the same evening--a plan that has been repeatedly proposed--a fair trial here at Harvard, the University debating management has suggested to Yale that the annual debate at New Haven next spring be held in March on the same evening and on the same subject as the Harvard-Princeton debate here.

The new songs approved by the Song Committee will be tried out at the mass meeting Tuesday, as well as "Cambridge Town," "No Hope for Yale," and "The Spirit of Harvard," which did not receive a fair trial at the last mass meeting owing to the band's lack of practice.

It is hardly necessary to say that the value of the book will depend entirely upon the spirit with which it is used. An incomplete record is scarcely better than none at all, and in some cases much confusion might result from the omission of important dates. The CRIMSON will be glad to assist as far as lies within its power, but as many meetings...
