The Freshman Debating Club closes its work of the year tonight. The club was prevented this year by the Advisory Committee on Debating from having the debate with the Yale freshmen, which was such an incentive to the two previous freshman clubs; and, furthermore the club was disappointed in its attempt to arrange a class debate with the Sophomores by the action of last year's Freshman Debating Club. Under the circumstances the best contest which could be arranged was a debate with the sophomore members of the Union.

Although the club has therefore lacked the two greatest incentives-that of representing their class against the freshman class of a rival university, or against its nearest rival class here, yet the members of the 1900 Freshman Debating Club have worked hard and have accomplished much. Their representatives tonight deserve the support of the whole class as much as though they were to debate against the class of '99 or against the Yale freshmen.
