Yale Debate.

It was first intended to have as the board of judges Professors Taussig of Harvard, Hadley of Yale, and Seligman of Columbia.

Prof. Seligman has consented to act in this capacity, but Prof. Hadley has declined. If another Yale man will take his place, then Prof. Taussig will serve, if not of course it will be necessary to take both men from outside colleges. Speaker Beer it, a Dartmouth man, and President Andrews of Brown have been suggested. Nothing however can be definitely stated as yet to as precisely what men will finally act as judges. The report that C. Vrooman would not speak and that J. S. Brown L. S. would take his place has no foundation.

Last night tickets were distributed. Application for nearly 750 seats had been received. while only 600 were at the disposa of the management. This necessitated giving but a single ticket to the applications last received. If any men find themselves unable to use their tickets, it would be a favor to the management if they would return them to 19 Matthews.

Yale men requested one hundred seats saved for themselves and friends, Wellesley has fifty, the Annex thirty and other colleges smaller numbers. Prominent graduates and members of the faculty will occupy the platform. The seats have all practically been given out, and an audience that will completely fill the hall is assured.

After the debate, an informal banquet will be held at Young's tended to the speakers by the officers of the Union. Invitations will be out for this banquet in a day or two, but will be sent simply to men prominent in a speaking line. The total number of men at the banquet, including speakers and representatives from Yale, will be probably not over fifty. A simple informal affair is desired, where the men from the two universities may have a chance to meet a d discuss the plans for evening debates.
