An Oratorical Association was organized at Penn in 1890, and the department of Speech, Oratory, and Debate began in 1903. The first debate victory for Penn was in 1894 against Drake University. A debating league was later formed in 1898. Penn's debate went on to win many victories all the way into the 1960's.
