George Washington University debating societies held their annual prize debate in University Hall last evening on the question whether the President should be limited to two terms. The affirmative argued Washington’s precedent and dangers of third terms, while the negative urged modern conditions justify reelection. The debate was won by the affirmative with a panel of judges. First prize went to two GWU debaters and a share of series prizes. The event featured members from the Columbian and other GWU debating societies and referenced a recent intersociety win over North Carolina University.
