A Strong Combination—Personnel—

[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY }
Cambridge, November 29.—The Har-
yard debating team which will meet
Yale’s representatives next Friday even-
ing has all but completed the work of
preparation for the approaching con-
test. Since the speakers were chosen,
on the twenty-seventh of last month,
they have been industriously at work
with but one end in view—to discover
enough arguments in favor Ofte
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to
defeat Yale in the debate. Even the
notable engagements on the football
field during the past month have occu-
pied a subordinate place in their con-
sideration.
Harvard, after a series of successes
on the platform, suffered her first defeat
in 1895. Last year her team again
encountered disaster when a different
isstte was confidently expected. Now,
more than ever before, her representa-
lives are awake to the realization that
the debating prestige of the University
iS at Stake.
For two years Harvard has supported
the affirmative of the question. It was
expected that this year, with the choice
of sides, she would choose the negative.
But this did not prove to be the case.
Those who are directing her debating
interests have apparently determined to
demonstrate that the burden of esfab-
lishing a proposition is not too great
for accomplishment. Harvard will
again champion decisive action on the
part of the United States. Last year it
was the definitive adoption of the single
gold standard; this year it is a policy
of territorial enlargement. But last
year Yale had the “popular side,” so-
called; this year the opportunity for
freworks is Harvard’s.
THE DEBATERS.
The Harvard team is composed of
Charles Grilk of Davenport, Iowa, a
member of the Senior class; John A.
H. Keith of Walshville, Illinois, a spe-
cial student; and Wilbur Morse of the
Sophomore class, who comes from
Philadelphia. The alternate is P. G.
Carleton of Lawrence, Massachusetts,
a member of the Junior class.
CHARLES GRILK.
Charles Grilk is the best known de-
bater among his college mates. He
prepared for college at Phillips Ando-
ver and Exeter and was prominent in
literary and debating circles at both
schools. At Andover he won a first
prize in debate and spoke in the Means
and Draper oratorical contests. Enter-
ing Harvard, he was chosen a member
of the Freshman debating team and was
President of the Freshman Debating
Club. In his Sophomore year he was
alternate in the Harvard-Yale Univer-
sity debate, the first intercollegiate de-
bating contest in which Harvard was
defeated. Since that time his ambition
has been to retrieve that disaster. Last
year he was a member of the Harvard
team that defeated Princeton, and
closed the debate for Harvard on that
occasion. He was the first choice of
the judges in the trial debate last
month. He participated in a joint
debate between Harvard and the Trin-
ity Club of Boston, in which his team
was successiul. He is a member of the
Harvard Union and has been its Presi-
dent. Outside of déDating his oratori-
cal ability has won recognition. He
received one of the first prizes of $60
in the Boylston Prize Speaking last
Spring, and was chosen this Fall to
address the Freshmen on behalf of the
undergraduates, at the reception ten-
dered them at the beginning of the
year. He is a member of the Hasty
Pudding, Delta Upsilon and O. K. soci-
eties, and an honorary member of the
Institute and the Signet. He has also
been an editor of the Harvard Crimson.
JOHN A. H. KEITH.
John A. H. Keith is little known to
Harvard men, but has had experience
in debating before coming to Cam-
bridge. At the Illinois State Normal
University, where he graduated in
1894, he was a member of the Philadel-
phian Literary Society and represented
his school in the annual contests against
the Wrightonian Society. He won first
place in the college oratorical contest
in 1894 and was selected by the Faculty
to speak at Commencement.
Last year he advocated the free coin-
age of silver, in Illinois, during the
early part of the campaign, and later
in Massachusetts, after coming to Har-
vard. He is a ready speaker and his
experience counts in his favor.
WILBUR MORSE.
Wilbur Morse, who is the representa-
tive of the East on the team, fitted for
Harvard at the Central High School in
Philadelphia. He has had an inter-
mittent college career. He entered the
University of Pennsylvania with the
Class of Ninety-Eight and was promi-
nent in debating circles during the year
that he remained at the institution. In
the Fall of 1895 he entered Harvard
with the Class of Ninety-Nine and was
a member of the Harvard Freshman
team that met Yale the following
Spring. He was active in the Fresh-
man Debating Club during that year.
Last year he studied law in Philadel-
phia, returning to college again this
Fall in the Class of Ninteen Hundred.
He is a member of the Harvard Forum.
His manner is earnest and he impresses
one as a student more than by his ora-
torical powers.
P. G. CARLETON.
P. G. Carleton, the alternate, shares
with Grilk and Morse the honor of hav-
ing represented Harvard in a Freshman
contest with Yale. He is an active
member of the Harvard Forum and an
editor of the Crimson. He prepared
for college at Phillips Andover and is
the youngest member of the team.
