Biographical history

The Caius Debating Society was founded in 1866 to debate a subject proposed by a member and chosen by the majority of members present. Members were under-graduates from the College who elected a President annually and a Vice-President and a Secretary terminally. Members paid an entrance subscription of one shilling and met every Thursday.
