Moribund

Even in this somewhat paltry object modern debating at V.U.C. is showing itself a failure. The aim of past speakers, to disguise a bad case in reasonable clothing, is now defunct. Instead, we find speakers consistently haranguing on that side of the subject which most nearly approximates to their own religious or political creed. The committee may be at fault—or it may be due to individual speakers: the fact remains that speakers from the floor (and they are most to blame) seem to regard the Gym, platform as a small corner of Hyde Park and thump their box accordingly. In the "Election" debate examples of this were glaring.
