Description
This frame holds the Debating Scroll, an award for the Canterbury College Dialectic Society annual debating competition, held from 1910 until 1935. The highly decorative calligraphy recording each winner's name has been hand-printed on what appears to be vellum.
A competition winner was not awarded in 1914, 1915, 1916, 1918, 1922, and 1929. Notably, the first four of those dates were during World War One.
AC Brassington, who won the award in 1923, may be Alan Brassington, a lawyer who specialised in constitutional law. He is credited as the founder and first secretary of the Canterbury College Law Students' Society 1923, and later lectured in constitutional history and law, political science, and administrative and international law 1931-1951.
