Mr. R. W. Edgley moved that, a though past student might be members of College teams, they should not hold office. He instanced the difficulties which otherwise arise by the Debating Club.
Mr. Scotney asked Mr. Edgley to whom he referred in the Debting Society.
Mr. Chorlton suggested amidst laughter that this might not be necessary.
Mr. Sellers, speaking in support simply overwhelmed his audience with his superabundance of superlative epithets. Considerable discussion then ensued, Mr. Mason and Mr. Scotney declaring that the Students' Association had no right to lay down such a principle for the individual clubs.
After voting on the voices, a division was declared, and subsequently a ballot. The motion was carried, 51 for, 49 against.
