The first of the informal debates of the Harvard Union, was held last night in Sever 11, and was a decided success, considering that the president and many of the best speakers of the club were in New Haven.
C. T. R. Bates, '92, was appointed president, pro tem., and H. A Bull, '95, secretary. The subject chosen was: Resolved, That the Bland free silver coinage bill should pass. The speeches were limited to five minutes, though many of the men spoke several times. The debate was lively, and, most of the time, interesting, though toward the end it tended toward becoming only a squabble between a few of the disputants. The following men spoke: Cameron '92, Cockrell '95, Wolff '92, Keep, L. S., Thwaits '94, Newman '95, Beckwith '94, Beckwith '94, Lecky '95, Vrooman '95, Clapp '95, Nichols '93, Huntington '95, Crane '95, Doney D. S, Owens L. S., Bull '95.
The prize, a copy of Bryce's "American Commonwealth," was awarded to E. C. Cameron '92. Other good speakers were Vrooman '95, Bull '95, and Wolff '92. The judges were L. Roots '91, Brooks L. S., and Gillette L. S.
