Oregon vs. University of Sydney (Radio Debate)
By Oregon Forensics | December 1, 1926
By 1926, Oregon was taking on Australia — live over the airwaves. The University of Sydney team debated Oregon in a broadcast carried across the state. Listeners again mailed in ballots, and Oregon was declared the winner. International dialogue was reaching Oregonians in their living rooms.
Citation: Old Oregon (1926).

How You can Help
Carry the Torch
Two weeks before classes began, the University canceled Oregon Forensics.
This decision ends nearly 150 years of nationally recognized excellence in debate, speech, and mock trial. We are deeply disappointed.
But the legacy is too strong to vanish. Alumni, students, and supporters are working together to ensure Oregon Forensics endures beyond this moment.
If you believe in the power of communication, advocacy, and leadership training, we invite you to stand with us.
