Thank-you, Antoine. I have it in my head Hailsham/Hogg was referring to an Oxford Union debate in the 1920s, but when? I do not have my volumes of the Complete Speeches here in the Bahamas—yet I also cannot pinpoint a OU debate after the 1907 one depicted in the illustration. If anyone can help dig, please do….

In all probability, therefore, he heard the precept from Churchill in the spring of 1929. The likelihood is that Churchill spoke to him afterwards because he was the serving President. There must be a record of his speech, or at least of his coming to Oxford, somewhere.
