Dear Director of Forensics:

The Princeton Forensic Society cordially invites you to the 60th Annual Barton Classic Speech and Debate Tournament on November 9, 2024.  We intend to continue the more than fifty-year tradition of excellence established by our long time Director of Forensics Mrs. Phyllis Barton, by providing an exciting and competitive opportunity.

Please read the tournament information carefully.  It will be necessary to adhere to all deadlines.
