STANLEY B CALVERT PRIZE FOR DEBATING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING

STANLEY B CALVERT PRIZE FOR DEBATING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING


The 'Stanley B Calvert Prize for Debating and Public Speaking' was first awarded in 1913. It was also sometimes known as the Debating Society Prize. It was named after Stanley Bell Hamilton-Calvert (1872-1939), Council Member (1908-1939), Chairman of the College Council (1922-1939), and Secretary of the Old Collegians’ Association (1901-1939), who not only donated the original cup but also presented it to the awardee each year.

In 1939, at a meeting of the Debating Society following Stanley B Hamilton-Calvert’s death, the Society decided to forego their annual dinner and devote the cost of it to endowing an annual memorial prize which then, was to be awarded for the most improved speaker. In some years it was known as the Senior Debating Prize.
