The US National Debate Team, Francesca Smith and Gavin Humes, who are currently undertaking a three week tour of the UK under the auspices of the ESU, took on the UK National Debate Team, Fraser Campbell and Gavin Illsley, at the February meeting of the Dartmouth House Debating Society. The motion was "This House envies America's sense of patriotism." The US Embassy in London generously hosted the event.
An audience of over one hundred people witnessed a world-class standard of debate with the proposing UK team securing a narrow victory.
The ESU wishes to extend its thanks to The US Embassy and the American School in London for their support of the event, and to each of the speakers and the chairperson John Wilson of the American School.
