B.C. Wilson Wins in Debate, June 8, 1926

Sunday morning’s Asheville Citizen carried a picture of Mr. B.C. Wilson of Glenville and his college and opponents Mr. Wilson is a member of the Dialectic Literary Society of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Representing the Dialectic society, Bennett and Wilson won a unanimous decision over Matthews and Chappell in upholding the negative side of the query: “Resolved: That the present jury system in North Carolina should be abolished and a court of three judges substituted in its place.”

Mr. Wilson is the son of Mr. G.C. Wilson of Glenville and has been making a good record at the university this year.
