Boston Harvard Club Gives Oxford Debate Team $100 Expenses

The touring Oxford University debating team will be able to face the College debaters Dec. 7 through a $100 gift from the Harvard Club of Boston.

Since all foreign debating teams require $100 per appearance to cover expenses, the Harvard Club has offered the money with the provision that the debate take place at the Club. The budget of the Debate Council would have prohibited financing the debate.

Originally, the Debate Council had planned to use admission of Red China to the United Nations as a topic, but the Oxonians refused. Instead, the English debaters requested a philosophic subject and suggested. "Resolved, That progress depends on the unreasonable man."

The Oxford team has been in the United States over a month and will return to England shortly after the Dec. 7 debate.
