The World Debate Tour Begins
By Oregon Forensics | October 1, 1927
Three Oregon debaters traveled more than 25,000 miles through 17 countries, debating 32 times and giving 75 speeches. Their journey drew rapturous press coverage and gave the University of Oregon international recognition it had never before enjoyed.

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.
