Juniors Win Debate from Seniors

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Senior-Junior debate last night was won by the Juniors, who supported the affirmative of the question: "Resolved, That the Chinese Exclusion Act should be re-enacted." G. Bettman, G. Clark and A. Black spoke in the order named on the Junior team, and E E Smith, E. H. Letchworth and W. M. Eby on the Senior team. Each man made a main speech of twelve minutes and a rebuttal speech of six minutes.

The Juniors won by presenting a more logical, more carefully analysed and better developed case, and through more effective delivery.

The debate as a whole was very satisfactory, although rather weak in evidence. The rebuttal was unusually spirited, and the general delivery was good.
