The Motion:
In the opinion of this House:
'The question's very much too wide, And much too deep and much too hollow,
And learned men on either side
Use arguments we cannot follow'
Proposed by N: St. John-Stevas, ex-Presddent, Cambridge Union
Peter Weitzman (Christ Church)
The Rt. Hon. Sir Duff Cooper ,
O.C.M.G., D.S.O.
Opposed by Richard Faber (Christ Church), ex-Presiident, Oxford Union
The President, Godfrey Smith
(Worcester)
This debate was recorded In the Oxford Union on November 30. It it a Farewell Debate, the final debate of term when by tradition the retiring President always speaks. By tradition, also, it is of a lighthearted nature and the speakers are not considered bound to speak to the motion. In fact the motion may be of tuch a nature at to make this difficult, if not impossible.
The motion is taken from one of Hilaire Bclloc 's verses. Mr. Belloc was President of the Union in 1895, and a portrait of him by James Gunn , R.A., was unveiled during the evening.
