Philodemicians and friends of the Philodemic,

Please use this thread to submit your proposals for resolutions and
topics that you would like to see debated this semester. These
proposals will be compiled and presented for consideration at the
first Society Business Meeting this Friday, Sep 10, 4:30 PM - ICC 2nd
fl. Please endeavor to submit resolutions that are creative, original,
accessible, and stimulating...especially since the first few debates
will be particularly important due the fact that they will be the new
freshman class' first exposure to the Society.

Yours truly,

Nick
