University of Kentucky students watched the first of three debates between President Gerald Ford and former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter on Sept. 23, 1976, on television in the UK Student Center. Most observers called the debate a draw. It was the first presidential debate since 1960, when Vice President Richard M. Nixon and U.S. Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts squared off. Two more presidential debates were held in 1976. Carter, the Democrat, who was relatively unknown, went on to defeat Ford in the 1976 general election. Wednesday night marks the third and final debate between former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and businessman Donald Trump. Click on the image for an enlarged view. Photo by David Perry | Staff
