- The Enosinian Society is a debate and literary society founded in 1822 during the first semester of the Columbian College. It is currently known as The George Washington University Debate & Literary Society. Adapting its name from the Greek word meaning "to shake" or "to contend," the Enosinian Society was founded on March 6, 1822, by a group of 15 students as the debate and literary society of the new Columbian College. After the Columbian College changed its name to The George Washington University, the Enosinian Society changed its name as well, first to the George Washington University Debate Team, and then to its current name, The George Washington University Debate & Literary Society, so as to be more easily recognizable at public events and intercollegiate debate tournaments. The George Washington University Debate & Literary Society is the oldest student society at the University and its members remain dedicated to the society's founding purpose of "improving ourselves in knowledge, eloquence and every accomplishment by which we may be the better prepared for any station in life." Currently, the "Enosinian" name is used for the society's alumni group and newsletter and GWU's Enosinian Scholars program. The George Washington University Debate & Literary Society is directed by GWU Director of Debate Paul S. Hayes. (en)
