Student DEDATERS
ARGUE EDUCATION
George Washington Pair
Meets Scotch Youths on !.
+ Forensic Platform.

George washington University de-
baters met a team of Scotch students
last night when, in an announced no.
decision contest, they argued the true
function of university education.
Andrew Howard and Hearst r. Dun
can were the George Washington Uni
versity men who upheld the negative
Of the question: Resolved. That the
primary function of university is to
advance the general knowledge of man
kind rather than to supply cultural or
vocational training" Norman B. VIII
son of st. Andrews University and John
NJ. MacCormick of Glasgow University
argued the affirmative side of the issue.
DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of
George Washington University, presided
ct the debate. In closing the meeting,
DR.. Marvin stressed the international
character of George Washington as in
dicated by the large number Of foreign
students which it enrolls.
Wilson argued that culture is luke
warm" under the present university sys-
tenn and that the best minds" are
quitting universities because the teach
ing burden placed upon them Is sap
ping energy that should be given to
research. Students, he contended, are
not being taught to think.
Howard, the George Washington stu
dent, asserted that the growth Of uni
versities has been brought about by the
desire and need Of people for definite
training which fits them for life. Proof
that research is no longer the exclusive
nor primary function of the university,
he said, Is found in the vast amount Of
research which governmental and in
dustrial laboratories are conducting.
MacCormick characterized the uni
vergity graduate as a person whose chief
interest Is foot ball and parties.
Duncan defined the functions Of Q
university as the adjustment Of the
student to the environment in which
he must live.
