H-Y-P, Coolidge Prize Debate Trials to be Held Together

Tryouts for this year's triangular Harvard-Yale-Princeton debate and for the Coolidge prized will be held on April 18, 21, and 24, the Debating Council announced yesterday. The question for the debate will be "Resolved: That the United States should orient its foreign policy in vigorous opposition to the Fascist powers."

Winners of the Coolidge prize which was augmented this year by the addition of the Lee Wade II speaking prize money, will be selected after the practice debate on April 24. Prized are $100 for first place and $50 for second place.
