DEBATING

Victories for both negative teams brought about a draw in the first intercollegiate debate ever held between Harvard and Dartmouth. Teams from the two institutions met both at Hanover and at Cambridge the night of January 16 to discuss the question: "Resolved, That the United States should accept the Plumb Plan for the operation of its railroads, as embodied in the Sims Bill (constitutionality granted)". At Hanover the Dartmouth team, upholding the negative side, was awarded a 2-1 decision; but the affirmative supporters, travelling to Cambridge, met stronger opposition and lost, 3-0. H. E., Bernkopf '20, S. B. Gorham '21, and T. H. Pinney '22 made up the affirmative team, while the negative quartet was composed of T. S. Anderson '22, H. M. Caldwell '22, and G. E. Carmody '22.
