Probably the first Shakespearian reading. Hermes 26 May 1887 refers to this being a departure from the customary Friday night debate which was substituted with a reading. On 6 May, the Union had voted to admit women to Union debates.Program in University Archives. Possibly SUDS grew out of these play readings - check Union minutes (JMcG).
