That All Men Are Blossoms In The Dust

Aff.: Mr. Johnston. Neg.: Mr. Cameron.

Mr. Johnston's discourse was mainly concerned with illegitimacy. Upon being asked rhetorically what would blossom in the dust, an interjector suggested "pansies."

Mr. Cameron objected to illegitimate children being regarded as dirty dark secrets and supported the use of the good old English word for them. A young lady in the audience obligingly used the word.
