DEBATING TEAMS PLAN DUAL TOUR

For the first time in the history of Harvard debating, the Debating Council will conduct a dual tour during the Spring recess, which will have as its southern terminus, Atlanta, Georgia, and will extend as far west as Grennell, Iowa. The two teams, each composed of three men, will leave at the same time, and will be gone during the week of April 7-13.

The western trip will include the University of Chicago; Marquette University, at Milwaukee; Carleton University, at Northfield, Minnesota; and Grennell College, at Grennell, Iowa. A fifth college, with which negotiations are at present being conducted, will also be included in this tour.

The southern tour will reach-Duke University at Durham, North Carolina University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill. North Carolina: North Carolina State College, at Raleigh, North Carolina: Emory University at Atlanta, Gerogia.

The Harvard Debating Council submitted three resolutions to the colleges to be visited. These resolutions met the approval of all the colleges, and it was decided that the Harvard team would support the alternative in all cases. The Harvard team will present its arguments after the English fashion, aiming to entertain as well as to inform. The first of the following resolutions was by far the most popular of those submitted for the approval of the colleges: Resolved, That Emancipated Woman is a Curse: Resolved. That Loyalty is the Curse of the American College: Resolved. That the Jury System should be abolished.

All men who would like to make one of these trips may try out for the University of Pittsburgh debate, which is the next forensic duel to be held In Cambridge, on February 9. There will be a series of tryouts beginning about two weeks before this time. These tryouts present an excellent opportunity for any one who is interested in making the teams to demonstrate his ability and to gain experience at the same time.

The last tour made by the Harvard Debating Council was in the spring of 1927, when a team composed of F. W. P. Lorenzen '28, Barrett Williams '28, and Dwight Chapman '27 went as far west as Des Moines, Iowa, visiting five colleges. They were awarded the audience decision in all but one of their debates.
