Pre-frosh and current students who are interested in being on the team Mailing List should send an e-mail to debate@hcs.harvard.edu with your name, your e-mail address, and your speech or debate experience.

If you will be a Class of 2009 student, or if you are a current student interested in the team, please come visit us during the Student Activities Fair in the fall. We'd love to meet you and tell you more about comping the team.

Welcome to the Harvard Speech and Parliamentary Debate Society home page. This page will answer all of those burning questions you've just been dying to know. If you're asking yourself, "Well, just what the heck is Parliamentary Debate anyway?" you're at the right place. If you stay up nights thinking, "How long until the next tournament?", then today's your lucky day. Look no further.

Even if you don't have any burning questions that we can answer, there's still a lot of stuff this page can provide. Due to the miracle of the internet and what not, you can sign up for all sorts of stuff online. If you're a fellow debater, then check out the information for the 2005 Harvard Debate Tournament.
