The committee appointed to investigate plans for admitting undergraduates, who have never taken part in a University debate, to membership in the University Debating Club, will hold a meeting to discuss this question at 7.30 this evening in College House 39. The committee consists of C. P. McCarthy 1L., C. Grilk 3L. and F. E. Neagle '05.
As the club is organized at present, no one is entitled to membership except men who have taken part in a University debate, and the presidents of the four class debating clubs, during their terms of office. Consequently, as men rarely make the debating team before Senior year, the club is composed almost entirely of graduate students, the undergraduate representation being greatly limited. There is no small amount of executive work connected with every University debate, and some dissatisfaction was found with the way in which this work was done in connection with the Princeton debate. It is thought that this duty should rest properly upon the undergraduates and could be best fulfilled by them. It is to discuss the advisability of reorganizing the club, so as to include a larger number of undergraduates and to consider the methods by which this may be done, that the present meeting has been called.
A few instructors and men prominent in debating, who are not members of the University Debating Club, have been asked to attend the meeting, and present their views on the subject.
