in March.


NORTHFIELD, Mimi, Dec. N.-Ar-
rangements have been completed for an
intercollegiate debate between Cornell
college of Iowa and Carleton college to
be held on March Z. 1901. The debate will
not only be Intercollegiate, but inter-
state. Cornell is the champion debating
school of Iowa, having defeated Grinnell
repeatedly. Carleton, in her contest With
Hamline two years ago, came out vic
torious, thus proving her to be one Of
Minnesota's strongest debating colleges.
The question to be discussed is: Should
the United States Subsidize It's Merchant
Trade?" Carleton having the affirmative.
Carleton's team consists of Messrs. Ma
son, Robertson and Clough. Mr.. Mason
was a member of the team which de-
feated Hamline two years ago. Cornell
will doubtless put UP n strong team. and,
as it is a larger institution, in point of
attendance, than Carleton. the chances
of winning are somewhat in it's favor.
