Announcing the schedule of league debates for the year, and the tryouts for the first round of the series, the Harvard Debating Council will open its intercollegiate season Monday night. Brown, Wesleyan, Williams, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale are on the University debating schedule, which will consist of three sets of triangular debates.
Assistant Professor F. C. Packard Jr. '20, and E. M. Rowe 1L., who coached the University debaters for the international debate in Symphony Hall on October 28, will coach the debaters for the first round against Brown and Wesleyan, to be held on December 10.
On that date the University will debate Brown at Providence, and Wesleyan here, on the question "Resolved, That all nations abandon their extraterritorial rights in China." The audience will have one vote and there will be two judges, instead of three, as formerly, so that ties will be impossible this year.
The second triangular debate with Williams and Pennsylvania will be held on February 25, while the final round will take place on March 24 with Princeton and Yale.
Tryouts for the first debate are announced for Monday night at 7 o'clock in Harvard 6: All undergraduate members of the University in good standing may enter, and entrants are to prepare five minute speeches on either side of the extra-territorial question.
