Chancellor Avery Urges Support of
the Debate
The Nebraska-Minnesota Deba'e is an all I'niverslty event All I'ni
people should heat it
In preparation for the debate, the team has done enough iuvestig.i
lion to publish a book of more thai 1."o papges on the Immigration qut s

piofeHsors, who are experts In ecoa mics, sociology and politics To heal
the results ol exhaustive accurate reseaich reinforced by clear thinking
and made interesting by good langu t'-e ttend the Nebraska-Minnesota
debate
Next to i onset v ation of our te-;ouice-. immigration has been pro
nounced the gravest problem with which the nation must deal. Improve
the quality of youi ('iti.enship and tighten your mind's grasp on eiiiient
politics. by heaiinu that vital issue intelligently discussed at the Nebraska
Minnesota debate
Some one who has heard both, has said that there is no more in
formation in a debate in congress on some great public question than
there is in a similar conflict of minds between the forenisic representa
tives of universities. You cannot afford a ticket to Washington to hear
congress discuss the immigration question, but you can afford a ticket to
the Nebraska-Minnesota debate.
Come to the debate. You will be entertained as instructed. Ne
braska's debaters are able speakers; so are Minnesota's. Members of
the two teams are young men of interesting personalities, whose won's
will have a meaning and a charm all their own. To see as keen .and (lean
