Dartmouth won a decision over the debating team from Ripon College, Wisconsin, on February 25. The Ripon team came east for a tour, claiming the intercollegiate title in virtue of a clean record in western debates. Two nights before coming to Hanover, Bowdoin, which Dartmouth had previously defeated, put the first blot on their clean record. In the debate at Hanover Dartmouth was awarded the decision over Ripon after a close contest. Prof. Craig Baird of. Bates College was the judge of the evening. Dartmouth's debaters were J. L. Sullivan '21 (leader), G. H. Mason '23, and A. W. Sprague '24, with T. M. Selden '21 alternate.
