News from Colorado College indicates that
the students there are entering upon prepara
tion for the Colorado-Nebraska debate with
commendable activity. Their three represen
tatives arc already chosen and two questions
will soon be proposed by them from which
our men may select one and on which we have
choice of sides. Despite the fact that some

consideration as an equal, we are of the opin
ion that this debate will be far from one sided.

interest their faculty are evincing, and their
evident determination to be thoroughly pre
pared on the question at issue are facts not to
be lightly put aside by the men who will rep
resent us. Prof. Doudna, who heads their
department of mathematics, and is actively
aiding their debaters, took part in a famous
contest in the Uuiversity of "Wisconsin. lie
