DEBATING CONFERENCE.

Fletcher Dobyns '98 has been selected to represent Harvard at the conference on debating to be held in New Haven tonight. R. C. Ringwalt who was on the Yale Debate and president of the Union last year will be the graduate representative. Ringwalt is teaching debating in Columbia this year and is thoroughly posted on all the subjects to be discussed at the conference, and it was felt by the Advisory Committee that he would be a more valuable representative than an older graduate who was out of touch with debating interests.

Princeton and Yale, the other members of the league, will be represented, and the whole question of intercollegiate debates will be considered and definite plans for the future made. The report of the conference will then be submitted to the debating clubs of the three universities for their approval or disapproval. It is believed that this conference will do much towards establishing a definite policy for the future.
