ALL
PAKISTAN DEBATING GALA 2008 AT KING EDWARD MEDICAL
UNIVERSITY Medical School provides, perhaps,
the best substantiation for Charles Darwin Theory
of Natural Selection, for here we see in its
cruelest form, the survival of the fittest,
not the smartest as it should be... the fittest
to cope with the inhuman pressures, the demands
made not only on the brain but on the psyche
(Erich Segal) From the word of Churchill’s
legal uprightness to the eloquence of Martin
Luther King, articulacy plays integral part
to shapen one’s character and personality.
To highlight and nurture this very quality of
eloquence, King Edward Debating Society organized
