1936 WILL ADOPT COURT PROCEDURE IN DEBATES

Court procedure will be adopted in debating if the plans under consideration by the Freshman Debating Council are accepted. This includes cross-examination of the speakers by the opposition after they have presented their arguments. It is believed that this will be the first time this has been tried in the history of college debating.

The plan originated some time ago among the authorities at Choate School, and is subject to the approval of the Freshman Council. Late last night Thomas Quinn '36, president of the Council indicated that it would in all probability meet with favor, and would be tested for the first time on March 3 in the debate with Choate at Wallingford, Connecticut.

The schedule for the remainder of the season will be as follows: Friday, February 17, with Boston Latin; Friday, February 24, with Exeter; Friday, March 3, with Choate; in the last week of March there will be a triangular debate with Yale and Princeton.
