LITERARY SOCIETIES.
Connected with the University are two literary societies of long standing—the
Jefferson Society and the Washington Society. At weekly meetings
in their respective halls they hold debates and practice extemporaneous
and other forms of public speaking. Each society annually offers gold
medals for excellence in debating and oratory, and each organization contests
for intersociety prizes.
