Description
In his 2018 History honors thesis, ""Let us form a body guard for Liberty" – Conceptions of Liberty and Nation in Georgetown College’s Philodemic Society, 1830–1875," Jonathan Marrow (GU '18) compiled data on over 1,200 debates held by Georgetown's Philodemic Society from 1830-1875. The students frequently debated topics related to slavery, race, and secession, as Marrow's data reveals. See below for a list of debates by topic and date, with the outcome of the debate indicated for each entry. Marrow compiled this data from the Philodemic Society's Amanuensis Books, which are available through Digital Georgetown in the Philodemic Society Archive.
