Murray Named Top Debater in Contest

Richard H. Murray '58 was named best speaker at the two-day Rutgers invitational debate tourney at New Brunswick, N.J., Saturday. Murray was chosen on the basis of his individual performance in five negative debates on the topic, "Resolved: That the U.S. should discontinue direct economic aid to foreign countries."

The Harvard negative team, composed of Murray and Steven R. Rivkin '58, won four and lost one debate in the 15 school tournament, placing second to Brooklyn College in combined individual ratings.
