Eight Debaters Will Receive Medals For Yale and Princeton Competition

Eight College debaters Friday will receive medals for participation in the annual triangular debate with Yale and Princeton, Frederick C. Packard, Jr. '20, associate professor of Public Speaking and debate council adviser, announced last night.

The medal presentations, revived after a 20-year lapse, have been made possible this year by the family of Mrs. Minna B. Wolff.

Six gold medals will go to participants and two silver awards will be given alternates, at the Debate Council office.
