...tradition that the venerable Hasty Pudding Club at Harvard started with the two-fold object of enabling its members to consume mush and milk, and discuss the problems of the day. The Harvard Union formed in 1831 was a debating club not essentially different from the clubs which exist in practically all schools and colleges of today. The position of debating as an adjunct to the college curriculum was thus early recognized, but debating as a contest is of much more recent growth. Intercollegiate debating in America probably owes its beginning to the fact that after several years' negotiations...

Mr. Lloyd George proposes two separate Irish Parliaments, one for the North and one for the South.

This principle seems fundamentally sound. Irish union is a thing that only Ireland can achieve, and only by peaceful means. Some solution must be adopted...

According to Attroney-General Palmer not a sdingle national law meets this need, while the state laws, in adequate as they are, exist only in 28 out of 48 states. On the other hand, the affirmative proposes a federal law to meet a tederal need. What we propse is not a nwe idea since the idea of the limitation of free speech is recognized by present national and stte laws Hamilton and Madison advocated such measures as we propose while...
