High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Philodemic Society is a student debating organization at Georgetown University. It was founded in 1830 by Father James Ryder, S.J., in whose honor an award is given every Spring at the Merrick Debate. The Philodemic is among the oldest such societies in the United States, and is the oldest secular student organization at Georgetown. The society`s motto, "Eloquentiam Libertati Devinctam" reminds its members that they are pursuing Eloquence in Defense of Liberty. After a period of inactivity beginning in 1970, the society was restored by students in 1989.
