Tuesday Farmville representatives defeated the Emory and Henry team in a debate held Wednesday. February 26. at Farmville. Margaret Pollard and Agnes Bondurant upheld the affirmative and Mr. Beard of Emory and Henry and his colleague defended the negative side of the question. The issue discussed was whether or not Congress should be given the power to ovenide by a two-thirds majority. a decision of Supreme Court declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional. According to the Reverend Mr. Bryant of the Farmville Methodist Church, who judged the debate, the Farmville team won on the strength of its argument and the force and appropriateness of rebuttal. On the other hand, the Emory and Henry speakers exhibited good delivery and displayed .splendid team work, he said. Defeated by Waynesburg In a dual debate with Waynesburg College.
