Harvard defeated Yale by unanimous decision of the judges in the Freshman debate held last night in the Upstairs Common Room of the Union. Harvard upheld the affirmative of the topic: "Resolved, That Socialism would be a better economic system than Capitalism" and decidedly outclassed their opponents in debating technique and soundness of argument. No news has yet been received of the outcome of the debate at Princeton in which the Harvard Freshman team defeated Capitalism.
J. S. Bach '36, and D. H. Gordon '36, delivered the two long arguments for Harvard and C. M. Kerr and O. W. Dennis for Yale. The rebuttals, delivered by T. H. Quinn '36, for Harvard and L. B. Harris for Yale were the high spots of the evening, both speakers giving firm and pertinent talks. The debate was closed by the minute and a half rebuttal for Harvard by H. G. Sullivan. A short forum on the topic of the debate was held while the judges made their decisions.
