Competitive debating is not so far removed from work done in certain English and public speaking courses and in the College debating society, that undergraduates may not aspire with confidence to try for places on the University teams.

Our debating teams would be more truly representative, and would better fulfill the spirit of intercollegiate debating, if the majority of their members were undergraduates.
