A writer in last Sunday's Capital speaks as follows of S. W. Naylor and his recent victory at Lincoln:
Our own orator, Mr. S. W. Naylor of Washburn college, Topeka, Kan., then told the audience a few things about "The Puritan and the Cavalier in Our National Life." The hour was 11 o'clock, the audience tired, and hastening to the front of the stage Naylor endeavored to make his voice heard above the noise of fans. Skipping over some of the first part he began to contrast the north and the south, and by the time the martyr, John Brown, was alluded to, the audience were under control, and were willing to follow if it be carefully handled. Fans were even dropped when the solemn vow of the great north goes thundering up to heaven. "This union shall be preserved," and hand smote hand. Many of the Kansas colleges remembered Naylor's delivery at the state contest It was much the same last Thursday night except more earnest and vigorous. His greatest fault was the rising inflection frequently occurring.
The Lincoln papers spoke of the Kansas orator as follows: It was an excellent address well delivered, and the decision of the judges giving him the first prize met with the approbation of all the hearers. He had a commanding presence. His delivery exhibited a great deal of rugged force, having but few unexpressive gestures. The oration was polished and scholarly.
THE Hesperian, of Lincoln,
has the following to say about
Naylor and Kansas:
Kansas may well be proud for the two successful orators reside in the 'dry' state south of Nebraska. The next morning after the contest Kansas was thought to own the earth. The two successful gentlemen did not look any more dignified or elevated than they were before the goddess of victory showered upon them the laurel garlands of triumph.
YOUNG men, don't steal. Don't steal a speech.
"The Puritan and the Cavalier in Our National Life" was the title of the oration delivered by Mr. S.W. Naylor, apparently the oldest orator of the evening, had a certain earnestness of delivery which secured for him a moment's applause in the midst of his oration, a compliment which no other orator except Mr. Lyon received Mr. Naylor's style is strong and vigorous. He has a commanding presence. At times his delivery was almost too deliberate, but at the proper moment he managed to show the necessary amount of enthusiasm. In many respects his delivery was excellent.
Don't steal a congressman's speech, whatever you do.
Besides being very wicked, it is very stupid. Steal a speech of a councilman, or a member of the legislature, or a Sunday School picnic boss, but let a congressman's speech alone! It will do for recitation in kintergartens, but in a contest of college students—really you should know better.
Remember Lot's wife and don't forget Ferguson!—Lawrence Record
WE are heartily glad of the event of last Monday night. To unite and bind the hands and hearts of those who build for good is to help the world along. When the students become one in power and sympathy they will have widened their influence for all that is best in life. We say we are glad to see Kansas students touch shoulders and shout together. That means that all are united in one great cause—that all have the same great ends in view; that all are willing to give of whatever sense and love and sympathy they have. Kansas was once united for universal freedom; she is now united for universal education.
K. S. U. boys are becoming irresistable. They go anywhere and do everything. Impatient of dull delay, they push on to the front and as leaders they help make this big world go round. Mr. M. Barnes, a student of '86 and '87 and a member of Sigma Nu fraternity, is among those who presist in doing their share. Mr. Barnes lives at Ventura, Cal. and he has recently begun there the publication of a new weeweekly paper: The Young Republican. The first number lies before us. There is lots of good sense in its first bow to the world, while it overflows with the characteristic wit and brilliancy of the bright young editor. Here's the COURIER's success, Mr. Republican.
Base Ball Bits.
On Saturday, May 17, the Base Ball club will cross bats with the club of William Jewell Collage, Liberty, Mo. The game will be played at Chelsea Park, Kansas City. Manager Armstrong informs us that preparations are being made for a big excursion and a big time. Half-rates will be secured and he hopes to fill severaj coaches with the loyal fellows of K. S. U. That is our hope exactly, and the COURIER urges the students to attend the game if possible. The trip in itself will be a delightful one and undoubtedly the game will be as interesting as any this year. Don't forget the day: but turn out and back the boys of the U.
Of course you know that the Emporia boys are with us to-day and to-morrow. You will attend the games, too. It is expected that they will be hard fought and well played. Go prepared to
shout for both sides. Don't let your pride blind you. Go, too, to criticise. Our club must be criticised now or never. Remember above all things that you are entertaining visitors from a sister college. Welcome them, treat them kindly and they will not forget you.
The Science Club Picnic.
The Science club went down to Uncle Joe Savage's last Saturday afternoon and had one of those jolly times so characteristic of that organization. Of course everybody turned themselves loose, and some of the boys, under the leadership of "Cap." Franklin, went through some extravigant performances. While an elegant, little luncheon was being dished out, the club had their pictures taken. An orchestra, composed of several members of the Savage household, gave a number of selections which were highly appreciated. Everybody went away with pleasant remembrances of Uncle J.'s hospitality and fond recollections of Mrs. Savage's mince pies.
The Regents Meet Again.
The Regents held a very important meeting last Tuesday. Among their business, we note the following:
Mr Vernon L. Kellogg, of the class of '89, now on the editorial staff of the Lawrence Journal-Tribune, was made assistant to Chancellor Snow's chair of Botany and Entomology. This is indeed pleasant news and we cannot but commend the wise selection. Mr. Kellogg has already become noted for his able studies in natural history. He is every way well fitted for the position.
Two new courses were added upon the recommendation of the Faculty, to the University: A Latin-English course and a General Language course. It is believed that these courses will meet with great favor. Students graduating in these courses will be given the degree of A.B.
Appropriations were made as follows: $300 for library; $50 for supplies in Prof. Wilcox' course in the history of art; $100 for the use of Profs. Canfield and Blackmar in their departments. The Board will meet again in June.
THE University has nothing but words of praise and compliment for the regal and generous reception given it last Monday night by the students and faculty of Washburn college. Friends of Washburn, your part of the yelling was done most handsomely; your entertainment was most kind and cordial. Pres. and Mrs. McVicar were as good and gallant as could be; the young ladies were just as proud and pleasant as the occasion, while the boys—why, such good, jolly fellows we never met. The whole affair was a grand success and Washburn is twice worthy of congratulation. The students of the University will never forget this triumphal trip to Washburn.
Continued from 1st page.
I do not claim to be an orator. I have not called myself an orator since last February. We did not come here to talk for we know you can beat us at that. But we did come to congratulate you upon a
most uncommon and unheard of thing:—The winning of the first oratorical victory this state ever won. We are glad that it is so. I attended the Inter-State contest; I expected to do so several months ago. I shall never forget the scene of that victory. Just before Naylor spoke an old farmer sitting next to me said: 'If that young man with the black moustache (Naylor) speaks as much better than the rest as he looks better, he is bound to win.' Naylor did win, and to-night there 'goes thundering up to heaven' the noise of that glorious victory.
As the first University in the state, we come up here to celebrate the first oratorical victory for Kansas."
Dr. F.S. McCabe was called and in part he said:
"You will believe me in saying I am very hoarse when I tell you I have just married a nice young man to a nice young woman, baptized three Kansas babies and made arrangements for marrying another nice young man and woman. No one rejoices in this victory more than I do. Naylor will tell you I told him to put in those parts that were considered so good. The Kansas policy is to hang together. We are following Blind Tom's plan. When he performed and the people applauded he would applaud too. I join in the congratulation of Mr. Naylor on his success in our address You have done well in your selection of a chancellor. We have had snow in May but now we will have Snow in every month of the year."
Mr. Brewster, the winning orator of last year, was called and in short he said: "Every Kansas orator before 1890 has returned bruised and bleeding. Adversity has placed her stamp upon their blushing cheeks. But we are here to-night to honor him whose shield has received the blows from seven valorous rivals. Seven states sent their best and hardiest, but Naylor has met and conquered them all. This is a glorious victory we celebrate:— it is a Kansas victory. It places Kansas among the intellectual leaders of the country. It is a victory of culture and developed mind. It would be impossible to tell you how Washburn feels-to-night. The good feeling shown by the University will never be forgotten and when it happens and I believe it will sometime that a University man is the victor, Washburn will come and join you in your celebration."

The speaking stops—there is more cream—more yelling—and congratulating;—and then we make for the street cars. Away we go back to town; here we meet the stately fellows in blue and brass. We meet them and they are ours. We light the merky heavens with a monstrous bon-fire. The "coppers" sing and dance and the boys laugh and vell.
To the depot we go. It is 12 o'clock and we are tired and hoarse and sleepy. The special moves. In an hour we are home again—msd at no one and glad of the good time. This trip of triumph was a brilliant affair. Do you think you will ever forget it? S
