The twenty-third annual competition for the Harbaugh Debate Medal was held this year, according to custom, on the evening of February 21. The Harbaugh Medal is an award founded in 1900, by Mr. Simon J. Harbaugh, to be given to the best all around speaker in the annual public debate. The contest this year was on the question, “Resolved: That the Coal Mines of this Country Should Be Placed Under the Direct Control of the Federal Government. From the preliminaries to the contest, held early in February, Patrick Slattery, Francis Morris, Francis Motherway and Walter Loft us emerged victorious and secured the right to debate in the public contest. Carl Haight was awarded the Chairmanship. 'I'he auditorium was the scene of the public conflict on February 21. Mr. Slattery and Mr. Luftus comprised the affirmative team and Mr. Motherway and Mr. Morris upheld the negative of the proposition. Mr. Haight as Chairman, opened the discussion. He was followed by the speakers in order. For convincingness of argument, lucidity of proof and clever presentation, the Harbaugh debate of 1923 will long be remembered. It was a contest well up to the traditions established by previous Harbaugh debates. I he decision was awarded to the negative side, composed of Motherway and Mr. Morris. The Medal for the best speaker in the contest was given to Mr. Motherway. DIAL AN7MUAL Ninety-Seven

’ PUBLIC SPEAKING PATRICK H. SLATTERY, ’23 JOSEPH P. LOFTUS, ’25 INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATES. This year a plan was evolved whereby the twelve colleges and universities of the Missouri province were to engage in intercollegiate debates on some national or international question. The twelve schools were divided into four sections and then, by a process of elimination, the winner was to be decided. A silver cup, emblematic of victory, goes to the winner of the series of debates. Under this system St. Mary’s is in section four, together with Regis College of Denver and Rockhurst College of Kansas City. The question that was debated this year was the timely and much discussed subject of debt cancellation. It read: “Resolved, That the Federal Government Should Demand Payment in Full of All the Allied Debts.” Mr. Patrick H. Slattery, ’23, and Mr. Joseph P. Loftus, ’25, were picked as the representatives of St. Mary’s. Mr. Francis P. Motherway, ’25, was first alternate and chairman of the debates at home. On December 19 the Rockhurst College team came to St. Mary’s and was defeated by a score of two to one. A month later, on January 22. St. Mary’s met and defeated Regis College at Denver by a two to one decision. This second triumph made St. Mary’s champion of section four and gave her the right to debate Creighton U., the winner of section three. So spirited was this contest and so evenly matched were the contestants that it was no easy task to pick the winner. Creighton was awarded the honors, but St. Mary’s won fame for the spirited opposition of her representatives. All honor and praise is due to our debaters. In the final debate the silver cup was awarded to St. Ignatius College, Cleveland, Ohio. DIAL ANAIUAL • Ninety-Six
