Stage First Trials for Pasteur Debating Prize in Sever Tonight

The speeches in the first trials of the Pasteur debate will be held in Sever 11 at 7 o'clock tonight, having been deferred from last Friday evening on account of the absence of the judges.

The subject, upon either side of which competitors may speak, has been selected as follows: "Resolved, That France and Belgium should be reimbursed for all actual destruction of property during the war, by Inter-Allied loan, to be repaid eventually with the German Indemnity Loan." The Pasteur prize, in the form of a medal, was founded in 1898 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, and is awarded to the successful contestant in an annual debate on a subject drawn from contemporary French politics, the debate to be conducted in English. The administration of the prize is in the hands of the Department of French, to be aided if necessary; by other instructors or students.
