(Volume VII) A YEAR BOOK OF COLLEGE DEBATING HARVARD - PRINCETON - YALE-SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE - OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE - -- EDITED BY EGBERT RAY NICHOLS DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH HINDS, HAYDEN & ELDREDGE, INC., PUBLISHERS NEW YORK PHILADELPHIA CHICAGO PREFACE This year Intercollegiate Debates carries some extremely interesting debates. Perhaps no volume in the series is more fortunate in the caliber of its debates or the wide range of interest in its subjects. For instance this volume has two debates dealing with different phases of the question of the Military Preparedness of the United States. One of these debates is from the triangular of America's three foremost universities Harvard, Yale, Princeton. The other is notable because it is a debate between a large Eastern university and a large Western university and represents an ocean to ocean debate trip. The great problem confronting our country in the Orient is discussed. Socialism in control of our means of production and exchange is debated pro and con. The eternal problem of municipal government is discussed in its latest developments. Labor Unions bob up again for a debate on another angle of the many possible questions, this perplexing movement offers. For these many interesting and capable discussions the editor wishes to express his gratitude to the young men who wrote them and to the instructors and professors of English, Economics and Public Speaking who aided in collecting them for the present volume. Another new feature is added this year to the Appen C63052 dices or Debating Year Book of the volume, namely, a Summary of the Debate Record in each volume up to and including the present one and comprising the years 1910-1916. The compilation of this new Appendix has occasioned a great deal of extra work but that it will be appreciated by the debating world is certain and that is reward enough for the extra labor in compilation.
