Treating the question of Companionate Marriage from a philosophical and practical point of view, Bertrand Russell, noted English Philosopher and author, will engage in a debate with the Reverend D. A. MacLennan, pastor of the Hyde Park Presbyterian, Church tonight in the Boston Opera House at 8.15 o'clock.

Mr. Russell, who is known for his frankness, clarity, and intellectual courage, will try to prove that modern civilization has outgrown the antiquated ceremonious form of marriage, and that Companionate marriages between young people are not only sound in theory but also entirely practical.
