Inheritance:: History of Wake Forest Debate 1835-1930s - 424

This volume narrates the history of Wake’s Debate Literary Societies from 1835 to the 1930s. Literary societies were the heart of campus life for nearly a century. The Literary Societies offered a place of belonging, training generations of speakers in their ornate Society halls. The Wake Forest story speaks to the “Literary Society” workings that arose nationwide. The volume aspires to fashion an authentic historical record while it concurrently recounts the debater’s everyday lives, valuable stories that have been largely untold. The reader will find beguiling revelations in every chapter—murderous Reconstruction intrigue, romance and longing among the all-boys Baptist culture, exploits of the “Flying Parson” winning a perilous Cross-Continental Race, and how Southern students rhetorically navigated the difficult questions of Race.
