Harvard-Yale Debate.

R. R. Upton, President of the Yale Union, was in Cambridge last Saturday evening to make arrangements for the second debate, to be held at New Haven about March 25th. An attempt will be made by both colleges to make this more of a university affair than the last; it is hoped that the best speakers from the two institutions may meet not only as members of the two Unions but as representatives of the best work in speaking done at Cambridge and New Haven. Both Unions are to have a competitive preliminary debate on the final subject when the representatives, one at Yale and three at Harvard will be selected by judges chosen for the purpose. The preliminary debate at Harvard will occur Feb. 19th and the judges will probably be Professors Briggs and Taussig and Mr. S. S. Curry; At Yale it will take place tomorrow.

Of the two remaining representatives for Yale, the Kent Club will select one and the President of the Union, the other. This last action is taken to insure the participation of Mr. Mullaly in the debate. He is a member of the senior class, a Keys man, a "Lit," editor, and is trying for the Townsend Prize. Chauncey M. Depew will preside. There will be many Yale alumni on the stage, and it is proposed to invite Governor Bulkeley, Lieutenant Governor Merwin, Judge Morris, Mayor Sargent, ex-Governors Ingersoll and Harrison, ex-Minister Phelps and the Rev. Joseph Twitchell of Hartford.

Following is the agreement made Saturday night by the representatives of the two Unions: "We hereby agree to the following question for the next Harvard-Yale debate to be held at New Haven on or about the 25 of March, '92. Resolved, That immigration into the United States should be unrestricted. Harvard shall have the affirmative and Yale the negative."
