...small and it is impossible to extend invitations outside of the members of the Union. We feel, however, that it would be a good thing for the debating interests of the University if the Harvard clubs could hold some public debates during the year with other like organizations, whether of other colleges or not. Some such debating rivalry would certainly add a new stimulous to the interest now given to the clubs in their regular weekly meetings...

There is no question that if this could ever be brought about it would be an event of the greatest interest. Whether on the whole such an international race would be a desirable addition to the present list of intercollegiate athletic contests is a matter for consideration. Certainly the expense, no matter how quickly and eagerly loyal graduates and enthusiastic students would raise the money to defray it, is against the idea...
