THE LYNDE DEBATE AWARDS AT PRINCE
TON

To the Editor Of he Tribune.
SIR: 1t was with deep regret that I read in
THE TRIBUSE's count OF Commencement dongs at
Princeton reference TO the dissatisfaction regarding the
Lynde Debate awards. During eight years OF more
less intimate connection with Princeton College have
known of scarcelya single Lynde Debate or Junior
Oraorca contest the awards of which have given
plee satisfaction In every quarter; but never hereto
fore so far aware has any given the dssas
faction newspaper publicity. 1t is on account of this
publicity and because OF the unpleasant position in which
it places the students who did receive prizes and espe
caly OF the direct insult given TO the gentlemen
who filed the thankess Office OF Judges that ask per-
mission to say a word III reply.
The old Wing graduate and former Lynde Debatcr -
arart from showing Enthusiastically that he is OF the
disappointed gentlemen who Gid not get first prize-ex
hibs an utter disregard OF the fact that Wing did come
out first only year ago That there or less dis
satisfaction in which even some Clos may share is
proof of any niustce prominent Wings last year were
heard say that Clio who received no prize had far
oustrpped the rest. Those who still are mean enough
to say that is permanent bias in favor of Clio In
these awards would do we'll to remember that only few
wears ago similar by certain Clos with regard
to the Macean prize justly regarded with contempt
II must he remembered that in all such cases there is
vast difference between the student looking at It's
