TALES ORATORS.

Last spring an intercollegiate debat- ing conference was held on May 2S, in which Princeton and Harvard, as we'll as Yale, were represented Agreements were here drawn up to govern a series of contests in which each of the uni versailles should meet the other, and the following dates have been arrang- ed: Princeton vs. Harvard at Prince ton, December IS; Harvard vs. Yale at Cambridge, March 26; Princeton vs. Yale at New Haven, May T. .,.
 The subject for the Harvard Prince ton debate has been chosen. It is, Resolved, That, assuming the adop- ton of adequate constitutional amend ments, the United States should adopt system of responsible cabinet gov ernment."
 The outlook for speakers to repre- sent Yale in her two contests this year is very good as several of last years debaters have returned. Two out of three of the regular members of each of the teams which met Harvard and Princeton last year, and three of
 the alternates are still members of the
 university. The question of restrict
 ing these teams to undergraduates
 has been agitated but no decision has
 yet been reached. If such a provision
 were adopted four of these seven
 speakers would be excluded from the teams.
