Excerpt from Mayor Vs; Council: Should a System of Municipal Government, Concentrating All Executive and Administrative Powers in the Mayor, Be Adopted in Cities of the United States The literary societies of the University of Wisconsin submit this, the Twenty-Seventh Annual Joint Debate, with the hope that it will be as favorably received by the public, as those of previous years. Since the first joint debate between the literary societies of the University in 1867, the debate has taken place almost regularly each year and is to-day one of the most important college events. The investigation for each successive debate has become broader and closer, until now the contestants spend a whole year in careful preparation. For a number of years the debates have been published and have been received with favorable comment by the most eminent authorities. The growth and success of the Joint Debate has been partly due to a peculiar and admirable organization of debating societies which has existed in the University of Wisconsin for years, but more largely due to the head of department of rhetoric and oratory, Prof. D. B. Frankenburger, who has done everything to defend and strengthen the debating societies and to encourage scientific argumentation. In the preparation of this debate, the contestants visited all the cities under the centralized system and made a personal investigation of its practical workings. It is hoped that the results of their work, which is briefly summarized in the following pages, will add something of value to this important subject.
