Professor Taussig's Lecture.

Professor Taussig spoke last night on the lessons offered by the Yale debate. He said that in recent debates, especially in this year's Yale debate, there has been a total failure of the opposing sides to really meet in debate, to face and answer each other's arguments. Applying the lesson of the Yale debate to debating in general, Professor Taussig said that if possible a man should meet an opponent squarely on his own line of attack and confute him. There is no use in twisting his statements and then meeting them. Especially in the last retorts one should not be committed to what he is going to say, but be ready to meet and confute all the opponent's arguments and then add a few words of one's own.
