Columbian Debaters Will Argue the Case Parliamentarily. Through its President, Mr. Laban Sharks, the Columbian Law School Debating Society has issued invitations for the second of this year’s series of public debates, which will occur in the lecture-room of the university on the 25th instant. The subject for debate, a resolution in favor of a limit to the accumulation of wealth, and of the debaters, Messrs. W. Oldfield, J. Zimmerman, and C. K. Macey, for the affirmative, and Frank Kelper, William E. Fort, and W. L. Symons, for the negative, have already drawn greater interest to this public exhibition of the work of the society than has been evidenced in any previous debate. As three of the instructors, Prof. William a. Maury, Prof. William G. Johnson, and Prof. Lee D. Dodge, are the judges of the contest, the debate has assumed a decidedly Columbian tone. There will be incidental music by the University Mandolin, Banjo and Glee Club. The Washington Post, January 22, 1896, pg. 2 Reception to Grand Master Needham.
