EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in the political career of Sir Winston Churchill as he fiercely defended the British government during a debate at the Oxford Union on March 1st, 1907. At the time, Churchill served as the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies. The subject of the debate was "That in the opinion of this House the present Government is unworthy of the confidence of the country." Seated on the far left is H.B.Hallett, the Union's Secretary, with the President, F.E. Smith (M.P for Walton), on the raised dais. Viscount Wolmer presided over the proceedings as the Chairman. During the debate, Churchill passionately argued against the motion, employing his renowned eloquence and persuasive abilities to convince the young students and politicians in attendance of the government's merits. This event marked an early display of Churchill's exceptional debating skills and his commitment to public service. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the rich political history of the United Kingdom. The debating chamber at the Oxford Union continues to be a platform for lively discussions and debates, fostering intellectual discourse and shaping the minds of future leaders.
