The Medical Students' Debating Society is the oldest Faculty Society at the University of Liverpool, older, than the University of Liverpool itself. It was founded in 1874 by students of the old Royal Infirmary School of Medicine. Since 1943 it has been called the Medical Students' Society and it has its own journal Sphincter .
