FRESHMAN DEBATE.

This evening the Harvard Freshmen will meet those of Yale for a second time in joint debate. The first debate between the two Freshman classes was held last year at New Haven and resulted in a victory for Yale. This fact, together with the outcome of this year's 'Varsity debate, gives to the event of tonight a special interest.

The debate will be held in the Fogg Art Museum and will begin at eight o'clock. Professor Baker is to preside and the judges are to be Professor J. Wesley Churchill, of Andover, President Capen of Tufts, and Mr. Henry Clapp, of Boston.

A limited number of tickets are still left which will be put on sale today at Thurston's and after 7.15 p. m. at the door of the Fogg Art Museum.

After the debate, a dinner will be given at the Colonial Club to the Yale speakers.

He is studying Government and History and expects to enter the Law School. He was recently elected a member of the Forum.

Philip G. Carleton, the second Harvard speaker, comes from Lawrence, Mass. He prepared for Harvard at Phillips Academy, Andover, where he did considerable speaking, both in debating and in other ways.
