During the spring term of '84 William O'Shea had offered a morocco-bound copy of "Dante's Inferno," illustrated by Dore, to the winning society in a literary contest to be held in the opera house some time during the fall term of '84. Committees were appointed by the Palladian and Union socieites, arrangements made, rules agreed on, classes chosen, judges selected by the contestants, and a contest took place December 11, resulting in victory for the Palladians.
P.G.D.C.
The Palladian Girls' Debate Club meets each Friday afternoon of the college year. None are admitted but Palladian girls, and new members are thus given a less embarrassing audience before which to practice the art of public speaking.
