At a meeting of the Freshman Debating Club last evening in Upper Dane, the following officers were elected for the next half-year: president M. E. Peabody; vice-president, E. N. English; secretary, G. C. Aub; treasurer, C. S. Collier; camp captains: camp A, B. S. Ulrich; camp B, H. T. Pulsifer. President Peabody announced that the trials to pick the team of three to debate against the Yale freshmen would be held March 4, 10, and 12. On the first date anyone may speak for five minutes; ten men will be retained to make ten-minute speeches on March 10, and six men will be chosen from these for the final trial on March 12. The subject of the debate against Yale will be announced February 29. Harvard has choice of sides. The coach will be A. H, Elder '07, who was on the teams which defeated Yale in 1905-6 and 1906-7.

Next Thursday the topic under discussion will be "Resolved, That the present administration of the country discourages prosperity." Camp B will uphold the affirmative.
