BOWDOiN COLLEGE.
Debate With Clark University-Coaeh
Smith Expected Today--notes.

Brunswick. Me-. Feb. 1S.-lSpeciaD'
1t now seems probable that Bowdoin
will have a debate this year, after all.
AT the recent meeting Of the debating
council il was decided to enter into an
agreement with Clark University Of
Worcester, Mass, and it is expected
that rs soon as the agreements are
s;gncd that a question will be pro-
nosed. The debate VIII probably come
the middle or latter, part of April and
will take place at Worcester, Mass
AT the time Of Intending Of the
negotiations with Amherst, several
weeks ago. efforts steps were taken to
secure a. debate with Williams or Wes-
leyah, but neither OF these institutions
were able to arrange debate with
Bowdoin the present year. Since that
time preliminary negotiations were en-
tered into with Clark College and it
now seems certain that a debate may
be arranged. Clarke College is consid-
cred one Of the best colleges in the
Eastern states. and is one of the few
institutions that does not have ath-
Ietics. AS is well known Carroll d.
Wright is the head Of this institution.
