Relative to the Debate.
The University of Nebraska has selected a subject for the final debate. It is one which has already roused great public interest, and which will in the future excite much discussion. The question selected is: Should it be the policy of the United States to extend her dominions? Here is a question which demands grave consideration. Each side of the question has many interesting phases. The joint debaters are to be envied. They have a live question about a live issue. It is to be hoped that all students will
unite to make the debate a success this year. Let all interested conform to the requirements of the constitution, and form themselves into Debating Clubs by Jan. 1st with a bona fide membership of not less than twelve, and submit to the committee the names of not less than six contestants.
