The subject on which the contestants spoke was the one for the triangular debate: "Resolved, That the federal government should have power to impose an income tax not apportioned among the states according to population." Each of the twelve men retained from the second trial spoke ten minutes, and was given five minutes for rebuttal.

In the debate on March 21 each university will uphold the negative side of the question at home. Harvard will meet Princeton in Cambridge, while its affirmative team will debate with Yale at New Haven.
