The Harvard Debating Team will complete what has been perhaps its most extensive program of outside contests, with a trip to Waterville, Maine, Tuesday, December 12, to debate with Colby College, and on Thursday evening, December 21 will travel to Montreal to debate McGill University. The team has already made two outside debates, and these two trips bring the total for the fall season to four. This is one of the largest schedules of fall trips the team has had. Four trips has often been considered a large quota for a full year's season. This series of trips marks the renewal of the Debating Council's policy of going afield.
The Colby debate will be on the subject: Resolved: that the United States needs a dictator. Harvard will uphold the affirmative of this question, and will be represented by a team of two men: P. McLean '35, and Oscar M. Lurie '35.
The subject for the McGill debate will be: Resolved: that the growth of Nationalism is an obstacle to world recovery. The team has not yet been chosen, but will probably be made up of two of the following men: Frederick deW. Bolman '35, Charles Feibleman '36, Herbert A. Fierst '35, Gordon C. Streeter '34, Harold M. Freelander '35. The final choice will be announced Monday.
It has also been announced that by next Monday the Debating Council and Mr. Rowe, Director of Debating, will have chosen the new inter-House debating committee. This committee will have charge of all the proposed inter-House debating, the making of schedules, and the choosing of House teams.
