BROADENING THE HORIZON

Today's challenge from Oxford for a debate with the University's representatives next September on the question of the cancellation of the inter-allied debt is welcome as one more opportunity to bring the English and American student points-of-view together. Much more than the actual athletic results were accomplished by the Oxford-Cambridge track team's visit last summer. As a "getting-together" of English-speaking men for a common object, the track meet went far to provide a mutual understanding and respect.

In a similar way much can be hoped for from a joint debate on a subject of close interest to both-teams, like the one proposed. But if the University is to compare favorably with the other teams which Oxford plans to meet on the expected trip, a far greater interest much be taken in debating. The possibilities are wide. Yale is considering favorably a similar challenge and it is to be hoped that the University will follow suit.
