Polygamy?

Polygamy?

Gibbons had just seen the picture about Rex Harrison and his seven wives. Therefore he was very definitely on the negative side. Indeed, why stop at seven? Wiles (Aff.) contended that the staff might be authorities in their own way, but in the real matters of life (e.g., sex) they were really just on the borderline. Mc-Bride (aff.) thought he was pink . . . but not pink in that sense . . . rather green . . . but not the other green . . .

In the good Catholic tradition of Aquinas' Aristotle, Shaw (neg.) made attempts to come to grips with Jung. Jung is here to say, and he must be. Christianized as soon as possible.

At this stage chairman Cruden ruled tha the would accept only two more speakers. Mummery moved that this ruling be disagreed with. Whitta took the chair. Mummery moved that Whitta's ruling be disagred with. Dawick took the chair. Dawick refused to accent any more motions from Mummery. Dawick put Mummery's second motion. Whitta took the chair. Whitta put Mummery's first motion. Cruden took the chair. There were [unclear: on] two more speakers.

Miss Newcombe (aff.) stressed the line between Christians and non-Christiana, and Miss Blaiklock finished up for the negative.

Whitta rounded off his difficult ease with a well-reasoned speech, and Braybrooke added a brilliant coda. Replying to Thomas (neg.) who had said that Messrs. Brookes and Rowe said nothing at all, Braybrooke countered that admittedly they were the hors d'oeuvres, but that Thomas must not think this meant "out of work."

Dr. Williams, judging, commented on the high standard, and placed Robinson, Whitta and Doogue best speakers in that order. The motion was carried.
