The article's portrayal of the K as "not requir[ing] competitors to directly debate the assigned topic" is only technically correct; critical affirmatives certainly do not directly debate the topic, but off-case K debate is as much a direct confrontation with the topic as a counterplan or topicality. These arguments rely on the theory of the negative as carrying a burden of rejoinder, not proof (i.e., it is sufficient to disprove the affirmative rather than prove the negative).

The K is not described in a level of detail that is proportionate to secondary literature on the subject. Though old, Gerke may be a god description of what the K aims to achieve, and gives an overview of objections and a strong defense. Our article uses judgmental language like "Nevertheless" which suggests that the K is not a legitimate position in debate, or that it is understandably maligned - a proposition that probably hasn't been widely accepted for 20 year.

More mention of collegiate programs other than NDT/CEDA are probably warranted.

Mary Lum

Mary Lum Girard (1758–1815) Mary Lum (otherwise known as Mary Girard) is known for being the wife of banker, philanthropist and merchant millionaire Stephen Girard. She is best known for having been imprisoned in the Pennsylvania Hospital's insanity ward for 25 years.

Life

The exact details of Lum's early life remain unknown, with various authors describing it differently. Lum married Stephen Girard on June 6, 1777. Girard, one of the wealthiest men in Colonial America, was 26 while Lum was a teenager.

Legacy

Lum's life inspired Lanie Robertson to write the play "The Insanity of Mary Girard." The play is one act and has been staged multiple times around the United States. In 1992, a Philadelphia-area retiree named Joseph Vendetti began researching Lum's life. He successfully advocated for the Girard College alumnia association to purchase a tombstone for her and pushed Pennsylvania Hospital to place the tombstone on their grounds as a monument to Lum. The hospital rejected Vendetti's proposal multiple times, citing "the family's wishes" as their reasoning.

---

Mary Lum was born in 1758, the daughter of a local Philadelphia shipbuilder. In 1776, at the young age of 18, Mary met and began to court Stephen Girard and eventually they married. Shortly after getting married in 1777, Mary and her new husband purchased a home at 211 Mill Street in Mount Holly Township, New Jersey. There they lived and established a store selling sundry items to the locals, at the same time selling provisions to the American revolutionaries. They soon moved back to Philadelphia, where their business flourished.

However, in early 1785, Mary exhibited prolonged periods of uncontrolled emotional outbursts. Mental instability accompanied by violent rage over time led to a conclusion that Mary Lum Girard was insane. They had been married but eight years. After five years of attempts at recovery, in August 1790, Stephen Girard committed Mary to the insanity ward in the basement of Pennsylvania Hospital, then Philadelphia's only institution for the insane, citing she was an "incurable lunatic". At the time of commitment, Mary was pregnant. It is not known for sure who the father was, however, it is known that the baby girl was born while Mary was still confined at Pennsylvania Hospital and died five months after birth.

Mary Lum Girard resided at the Pennsylvania Hospital insanity ward for twenty-five years until her death on September 15, 1815. She was fifty-six years old. She was afforded the best care that could be provided at that time, despite the difficulty in understanding and treating the illness that plagued her. In accordance with her husband's wishes, Mary Lum Girard was laid to rest on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Hospital, her grave site unmarked and unadorned.
