The Orators Battle.
m this
Not a very large audience greeted the orators, with their presence, last Friday evening, but those who did were very enthusiastic. A. Fullerton presided. It was fully half past 8 o'clock when the presiding officer announced the invocation by Rev. A. T. Ennis, who offered up a very beautiful and appropriate prayer.
Mr. J. H. Mustard, the first orator, was then announced, his subject being,"The Puritan Idea." Mr. Mustard had a well written oration, the thought was good and clear cut but his delivery seemed machine like. His bearing was easy, enunciation, clear but his seeming indifference and lack of warmth did not gain a grade higher than third, on delivery,
Mr. O'Leary was the next orator and the most sanguine expectations of his friends were not disappointed. His subject was, The "Political Cowardice." O'Leary's voice is musical, or to suit the theme, oratoricol- He handled it well and from the first, gained as well as held the attention of his audience. However, he seemed to have stage fright and the fixed position in which he held himself, the tendency of a sameness in his tone of voice marred many good qualities. He made a good impression however, upon the audience.
Mr. Palmer then spoke on "The Rennaissance in Italy." Mr. Palmer had been trained by the gentlemen who trained Mustard and the same criticism would apply to both with the exception perhaps that Palmer put more life in his subject but did not have as easy a bearing.
The fourth orator of the evening and the winning man, Harold Barnes, then orated on the "Independence of Thought." Barnes, to use an unclassical phrase, is an "old stager" and from the first to the last word, kept up action. He put his whole soul in his speech and made every one, before he han finished, think as he thought. The only criticism which could be given is, that he spoke a little fast; but this was a relief and the audience welcomed it with pleasure.
Mr. Ross, the fifth speaker, subject, "The Making of a Constitution," did not do as well as his friends had predicted. He has had a good training in the literary societies and this was not his first appearance neither before a University audience His subject was not one that would permit of oratorical flights and the number of dates in it might have been lessened to an advantage. His delivery too, seemed to be marred by a husky voice. His gestures and bearing were comparatively graceful.
Adams, the last speaker,and who tied Barnes for first place,according to rank, spoke on "Humanitarian Tendency of the Age." Of all the speakers he was the most graceful,his gestures were perfect
and every movement showed training. He had a great many beautiful figures and good thoughts in his oration but he lacked force and a voice to make both effective.
The ladies and gentlemen quartette furnished good music during the evening. The following is the rank of the speakers:
Barnes-first.
O'Leary—second.
Adams-third.
Palmer—fourth.
Mustard—fifth.
The Vivisection Question.
Ross—sixth.
Vivisection has been necessary to gain our present knowledge of physiological functions and will be necessary to further progress. Countless human lives have been saved as a result of knowledge thus gained and it is to this sphere of science that countless others must depend for relief from pain and a longer lease on life.
Let regardness of this importance, there are many to whom such modes of advancement are abhorent and who would not hesitate in their blindness to the welfare of medical science to brand vivisection with the stamp of barbarism. But the physicians, whose all engrossing sphere of activity requires him to share in sympathy the miseries of the whole race; to make their nature and remedy the study of his life; who in the dark moment of supreme distress, hisitates not to hazard his own health and life for humanity's sake—He will not listen with patience to such ill-advised censure, nor will he permit if possible the only path to essential knowledge in his art to be closed.
Brutes are not so sensitive as man to pain, owing to the lower development of their nervous system. Most vivisection involves no pain, and where there is pain, anaesthetics are nearly always used. The existing humanitarian energy directed against vivisection should be turned against the cruelties of the sportsman. To object to sacrificing animals for scientific purposes while we continue to kill them for food would be to grant the stomach a privilege which you deny the mind. If no pain is felt why is it worse to cut up a dog or a sheep than a hog? Or why is it worse under the same conditions to experiment on rats than to exterminate them as a pest? Repeated painful experiments should not be made to demonstrate what nobody doubts. The operator should inform himself of all previous experiments, should have specifically in mind the question he wishes to determine, and the method of least possible suffering and then his results as well as method in his work will stand the crucial test and scrutiny of a critical public-
