The Brooks Quimby Debate Council (BQDC) is a debate society in Lewiston, Maine, primarily comprising students from Bates College. The society, known for participating in British and American Parliamentary debate styles, competes in the American Parliamentary Debate Association and the World Universities Debating Championship. Notably, it engaged in a debate with Oxford University in 1923, marking Oxford's first debate in the United States.[1]
The BQDC has achieved recognition in various debate championships. In 2017, the team reached the final round of the World Universities Debating Championships in The Hague.[2] Nationally, it ranked 5th in 2013 and 9th globally in 2012.[3] The New York Times once described Bates College as a central hub for college debating in America in 1922.[4]
