The Yale-Princeton debate was won by Princeton in New Haven last Friday evening. The subject for debate was: "Resolved, That the power of the speaker of the United States House of Representatives is detrimental to the public interest." The Yale speakers who supported the affirmative were E. H. Hume '97, E. L. Smith '97, and H. W. Fisher '98. The Princeton speakers were N. S. Reeves '99, R. F. Sterling '97, and H. H. Yocum '98.
The Yale men tried to cover too much ground and failed to prove their case as they had outlined it. After a short conference the judges decided unanimously in favor of Princeton.
