The 20 recipients listed above represent the cream of a field of over 50 men who came out for the competition in February. Since that time the number has been reduced to finals after a series of 20 trials by each man. The results indicate one of the most successful years of debating ever experienced in the University. Out of 24 debates, the Harvard speakers won 10, lost 5, tied 1; six were no-decision debates, while two were discussion debates.
