"We, the girls of the Palladian Society, agree to form an organization for drill in debate and public speaking."

This is the preamble of the constitution of the Palladian Girls' Debating Club, which was organized in 1884, and which has aptly carried out the purpose for which it was formed. Its members consist of Palladian girls and such other girls as the club shall admit.

The questions discussed are those that are debated in the Palladian. During the year there have been twenty members of the club, and the part the ladies have sustained in the regular and general debates in a sufficient assurance of the good work of this club.

In the spring the club received a tangible recognition of effort in the shape of an annual ten dollar prize offered by Mr. Wilbur Knight, Univ., '86, under the following conditions:

1. The prize is to be given for the best production, be it essay, oration or poem, given by a member of the club from the Palladian platform during the year.

2. The Professors occupying the chairs of History, Literature and Modern Languages are to be the judges of the productions, which are to be judged from a literary standpoint only.

This magnanimous offer was accepted by the club, as it adds extra inducement to persons about to join.
Meetings in Palladian Hall at 4:30 Friday afternoons.
