Augustana Wins Debating Team Triumph Over Luther College
Augustana secured a unanimous victory over Luther College of Decorah in a debate held at the Augustana chapel. The question, whether altruistic motives have higher ethical quality than egoistic ones, drew strong performances from Luther speakers N A Olsen J O Holum and Arnt Vaaler, and Augustana’s Otto E Peterson J T Helmne and C O Bengston. The judges cited Augustana’s superior delivery, reasoning, and refutations, with emphasis on their effective handling of the evolution theory and altruism arguments. The Decorah team, though strong, failed to establish a coherent counter-system, while the Augustana debaters dominated in argument and presentation. The victory ends Luther’s two-year winning streak against Augustana in this series.
