dent of the BoWdoin Debating Coun-
ell. announced that during the Christ
mas vacation the agreement between
Wesleyan, New York University. and

now certain that a Triangular Debat-

sentative was II. e. Dewitt. At the
next meeting it is probable that the

zoe II. Hopper, 90, former Bowdoin

will be d series of debates between the
three colleges on March Is. Each college
will have two teams in the field, one of
which will debate at home, while the
other team will debate away. One of the
teams will uphold the affirmative of the

will be from Wesleyan, and the other
Bowdon team will be in New York. Each
