Although the Governing Board consisting largely of undergraduates see clearly the obstacles in the path of the Union...

The Junior team will uphold the affirmative of the question: "Resolved, that the United States should establish a temporary protectorate in Mexico until order and stable government are assured," which has been the subject of the two subsequent debates of the series. A. C. Thayer, W. Hosmer, W. L. Prosser and W. S. Murphy, alternate, will compose the Junior team, while L. Dennis, S. A. Freeman, W. Hettleman and J. T. Noonan, alternate, will represent...
