marked inequality in the conditions which exist az
for joint debate AT Yale the faculty gives the
greatest possible assistance TO the debaters. Tor
the faculty members may not only furnish reIer-
ences 10 works on the subject chosen and give
material and information but may crticise the
speeches of the debaters. change and amend their
arguments and general plan OF debate. They may
the student team and lecture to them on subjects
chosen for debate. Yale graduates may come and
coach. But at Harvard the faculty suggests refer
ences TO material and gives information and as as
baters work out their own lines Of argument and
plans Of presentation Since there Is no agreement
point efforts will be made to equalze the method
of preparation for these debates
