UCC Philosophical Society Mace
From UCC Philosophical Society Wiki
A competition once known as the Philosoph Tandem or the Heiniken Competition - in the innocent days when alcohol sponsorship was allowed on campus - the Internal Mace is the earliest of UCC's internal debating competitions. The only such competition open to teams, the Mace gained its current name when the Society was donated a physical mace by an alumnus. Following on from that the winners of the competition are sometimes known as the "Mace-Bearers" of that session.
