Nine debating societies in three countries have requested debates with the Harvard University Debating Council for this year, it was announced yesterday by D.M. Sullivan '33, president of the Council. Negotiations with several opponents never before met by Harvard teams are being made. A schedule of contests will be released on Monday.
The Bank of England Debating Society has sent in a request for a debate with Harvard in England in the spring. The University of Mexico has also asked for a contest, offering to send representatives to this country to engage in forensics either in English or Spanish. Other teams which have opened negotiations are from Columbia University, New York University, University of Missouri, University, of Chicago, Villanova College, Dartmouth, and Princeton. Debates with Yale are held every year.
Last year the Harvard Council engaged in two long-distance debates over the radio, with Oxford and Standford. Speeches delivered in both these contests have been published in volume thirteen of the Year Book of College Debating. Harvard speakers in the Stanford debate were J.H. Ruskin '33 and M.A. Hoffman '34. Those opposing Oxford were P.C. Reardon '32, P.H. Cohen '32, and D.M. Sullivan '33.
