Vassar has challenged the Harvard Debating Council to a duel of words for this spring, and a match with the renowned women's college will probably be held around Easter time, officials of the club announced last night. Plans are also being made to continue the annual triangular Harvard-Yale-Princeton debating series.
The Debating Council will hold a contest to qualify men for the Boston Record-American oratorical contest, opening onto a prize of $1200 in war bonds and stamps sometime in the near future.
Two $100 prizes will be given to the best debaters of the six who will compete in the triangular meet in April. Teams of three will go to New Haven to talk against Yale and stay here to debate Princeton, and two of the men will be eligible for the prizes, which held by the University in a custom unique in Harvard extra curricular activity. Candidates for the Council should leave their names with Phil Troen at Lowell House K-11.
