Harvard's Debate Council finally tasted victory last night by defeating Boston College in an exhibition debate at Milton Academy. It was the first win for the Debate Council in four starts.
Robert Kratz '50 and John Sutter '52 argued the affirmative of the subject: "Resolved that the United Nations now be revised into a Federal World Government." William J. Murphy and John T. Moore supported the negative view for Boston College.

Boston College's team countered that world government is impractical and impossible. The individual nations are still intent on preserving their sovereignty.
