...Rah for the speeches and rah for the discussion! The delegates approved highly of both. As for the other events, the delegates feel that they were unjustly led astray. Since when is "banquet" synonymous with eating a meal that cost little over a dollar, in the Harvard Union, cafeteria style? "Fun an games" were also quite disillusioning.
