...debate as a whole was remarkably vigorous and spirited and was far more entertaining than an ordinary intercollegiate contest. The speakers followed each other with such rapidity, so many different points of view were taken, and such originality was displayed in the different arguments that the interest of the audience remained undiminished to the end.

The question, in view of the present great interest in city government, is very timely: "Resolved, That municipal ownership and management of street railways is desirable." The principal disputants will be E. C. Ellis L. S. and W. J. Peacock L. S. on the affirmative; and on the negative, J. P. Parker '96 and A. C. Train '96. After the principal disputants have spoken, the debate will be open to the house and all members of the University are cordially invited to speak...
