1888-05-10 The Joint Debate. judge of debate

The Joint Debate. PHE great joint debate between our three Literary Societies took place Friday evening, April 27th, and was in every respect a decided success. A large number of college men, with their friends, completely filled the lectureroom of the Law School, and even standing room was eagerly sought. The respective societies were well represented, which showed the interest taken in their speakers, and a desire to see them achieve success. Many of the Alumni were present, so an opportunity was afforded, after the exercises, of reviving old friendships, while the ladies, both old and young, were by no means in the minority. The subject of the debate was : Resolved, That the Southern States had a right to secede, and during the two hours occupied by the six speakers in laying their arguments before the judges, a marked and attentive interest characterized the audience, which…

Prize Debate of Philolexia. '"P HE annual prize-debate competition of the Philolexian Literary Society took place on Thursday evening, May Bth, at Mott Memorial Hall. The subject chosen for discussion was : Resolved, , " That the Bible should be read in the public schools." We might naturally assume that such a sentiment would be most zealously espoused by all Columbia students, but, contrary to our conjectures, on this occasion at least, it was the negative that received the most popular support —of the eight contestants, six choosing this side of the question. The affirmative, however, won the debate, and, moreover, the two who championed the cause were the victors of the prizes. Those who competed were : For the affirmative —H. A. Gildersleeve, '9O, and J. W. Girard, 'go ; for the negative —F. R. Coudert, Jr., '9O ; N. Johnson, '93 ; H. R. Kingsley, '93 ; E. J.…
