Administrative history
The Dialectic Society of Queen's College was formed by the early students of Queen's. It predates the Alma Mater Society, thereby making it the first student society at Queen's. According to an article written by Rev George Bell in the Queen's Journal Dec 30 1893, Bell along with fellow students Wardrope, Mowat and Bonner decided in the summer of 1842 that they needed to form a student society for the promotion of literary culture, public speaking, etc. So they drafted a Constitution, came up with a name, and the Dialectic Society began. The society met every two weeks during which a student Essay was read and criticized, and also often had debates too.
