SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1933. Volume 4. Number 1.

[subsection]

The Debates are generally amusing as well as interesting and instructive, and all freshers are urged to take part at least in the New Speakers' Debates which are a feature fl the club's activities. If you are nervous or a bit raw, this is the place for you. As an additional incentive, a prize for the most improved New Speaker is awarded at the end of the year.

Read some opinions:—

B. Mussolini, Rome, Italy.—"The experience I gained at your New Speakers' Debates, and later on at your Ordinary Debates, has done me the world of good. All my old shyness and diffidence before an audience has now gone, and last week I won the Facist Grand Prix for Oratory. I spoke on my boyhood hero—Max Riske."

M. Ghandi, Delhi Gaol, Pudka.—"Ifeel I owe your Society more than I can ever repay. During my recent lasts I had by me accounts of your Debates, and by reading them both time and hunger passed unnoticed. May Allah guide and protect your deliberations."

Rev. R. J. Howie, The Terrace, Wellington.—"Recently I was privileged to attend one of your Societies'(?) Debates, the subject being 'Companionate Marriage.' I am glad to be able to say that my previous bad opinion of University life is now completely discarded "

G. W. Forbes and J. G. Coates, Politicians, New Zealand.—"The V.U.C. Debating Society? Bah!"
