enter into forensic relations with Hi

to form a triangular league with Au-
gustana and Monmouth was received
by the local college yesterday and ac-
copied by the executive committee of
the debating league. Monmouth col

by Illinois college and had signihed
its willingness to enter into the ar

also consent.

of being the oldest college in the state.

alma mater of William Jennings

some noted speakers. and is regarded
as a worthy forensic opponent.
Although contracts have not yet
been drawn up, it is probable that
