Out of the nine students finally chosen on the varsity squad, five were sopho- mores and one a freshman. However, these inexperienced debaters worked hard and completed a long schedule of debates with a very creditable showing. The question debated by all teams was the regular Pi Kappa Delta question: Re- solved that the nations should adopt a plan of complete disarmament except such forces as are needed for police purposes.
