Climaxing its most successful season, the Debating Council meets Yale and Princeton this evening in the annual Triangular Debate. The debate with Princeton will be held at 7.45 o'clock in the Lowell House Student Common Room, while another Crimson team journeys to New Haven to meet Yale.
War Policy Issue
Topic of both debates is Resolved: that it is the moral obligation of every American citizen to fight if called upon in any war in which the United States is a belligerent party. The Harvard team meeting Princeton, composed of John A. Sullivan '38; Lawrence F. Ebb '39; and Claudius Byrne '40, will support the negative side of the question. The general public will be admitted to the debate.
Against Yale, the Crimson speakers will take the affirmative of this topic. Those on the Harvard team are Phil C. Neal '40, Donald McDonald '39, and Malcolm Wilkey '40.
Prizes Awarded
Following the home debate, an alternative Crimson team consisting of Welch Peel '39, Robert Beck '39, and Robert Bean '39 will speak against the Princeton alternates over station WAAB and the Colonial network from 10 to 11 o'clock.
The triangular debate, a traditional feature of the Big Three debating season, was established early in the century. The men chosen for positions on the two Harvard teams receive prize medals from an endowment fund left to the Council by T. Jefferson Coolidge.
In addition to these awards, a prize of $100 is awarded the best speaker in the HYP tryouts. The name of this year's winner will be announced tonight at the debate.
