Debates with teams from other institutions ought, in such a club, to be made subordinate to the stimulation of an interest in debating for its own sake.

With this view in our minds, the idea of sport for sport's sake is likely to lose force, and we find ourselves seriously watching and aiding a desperate struggle for victory. It is all very well to try to win and to try hard, and it is well for every member of the University to be normally enthusiastic for the team's success. But should...
