The fifth annual May Festival, which
opens here on next Thursday evening,
promises to surpass any of the musical
treats that has been offered in the past
by this notable series of concerts. It
appears from the prospectus that no ex-
pense or pains have been spared in the
attempt to make ilis series a memor-
able one.
The list of soloists as a whole is far in
advance of any previous selection, and
with Mme. Johanna Gadski singing
"Senta" in "The Flying Dutchman" the
height of musical excellence will be at-

TO MEET PENNSYLVANIA.
Prospects For a Debating Contest
Are Very Good.
The following letter relative to our
prospective debate with the University
of Pennsylvania has been received by
Prof. Trueblood. The writer is Dean
Lewis of the department of law at
Pennsylvania:
Thos. C. Truebood,
University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor.
Dear Sir-I laid your letter of April
9th before the committee of the Cornell
debating council. The committee wishes
me to accept your offer on behalf of
the University of Pennsylvania, sub-
ject to the approval of the incoming
debating committee and the Provost of
the University.
As far as they had power to do so,
they accepted your offer. A new com-
mittee n-ill meet in a few days and will
be empowered by the Provost to take
final action in the matter.
I send you herewith a copy of our
agreement with Cornell. Please let me
have, as soon as possible, your ideas
on the agreement which Michigan and
Pennsylvania should sign. I think the
Cornell agreement will be very satis-
factory to us.
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM DRAPER LEWIS.
An attempt to arrange a debate with
Pennsylvania was made last year, but
matters could not be brought to a head
in time. There is plenty of time now
though, and our debating committee
will meet soon and look over the Cor-
nell-Pennsylvania agreement. This
agreement differs from ours with Chi-
cago and in some respects is better.
It is quite possible that it will be tried
for the sake of letting the students here
see which they like better. The chief
difference is in the management of the
time. In the Cornell-Pernsylvania
agreement each speaker has ten min-
utes to open and five for a closing re-
buttal speech. The tendency is to have
more extemporary work and to thus
show up the ability of the men in
"tackling" in debate, in meeting ques-
tions as they come up.,.
The details of the debate will be ar-
ranged as soon as possible, the date
fixed and the question proposed. Ow-
ing to the fact that Pennsylvania has
another debate at Philadelphia they
:have stipulated that their debate with
us shall take place here. This will give
us two important debating contests in
Ann Arbor next ear, as we meet North-
western in the Central Debating Leagu
contest here also.
