Crew-Grovenor-Field Contest.
The oratorical contest for the three prizes offered by Messrs. Crew, Grovenor and Field, was held Monday morning. The judges were Prof. Canfield, Prof. Sayre and Prof. Douglass, of Wisconsin. Prof. Miller was the president of the day. After a piano solo by Miss Highbargin, W. T. Reed spoke on "Socialism and Social Conflict." He made a good appearance on the rostrum. His voice was good and his gestures very easy and free. His oration was very well written.
Agnes Wright's oration was entitled "A True Aristocracy." Her delivery was characterized by energy and magnetism which was hardly equalled by any of the other speakers. D.C. Kennedy spoke of "The Mission of the Newspaper." Mr. Kennedy has a splendid command of the English language. His oration was one of the most interesting of the contest. He spoke with much force. Miss Birdie Starr then favored the audience with a beautiful solo.
T. F. Doran spoke on "The Land Question in the United States." His delivery was very much after the style of a Fourth of July oration. His oration was well written

Miss M. E. Davis rendered a piano solo which was well received.
Henri Nickel described the life and work of Bismarck. His oration and delivery was considered by many to have been the best. He entered into the spirit of his oration, and spoke with fire and energy.
L. A. Stebbins delivered a finely written production on "True Partisanship." He described the two different classes of partisans. Mr. Stebbins is one of the best writers in the University.
Miss Gertie Hunnicut spoke in high
praises of the works of Dr. Louis Pasteur. Her voice was rather weak but her gestures and delivery was very easy.
While the judges were making their decision Mr. W. S. Campbell rendered a vocal solo. The decision of the judges gave Mr. Kennedy the Crew prize,Mr.Jenks the Grovenor prize and Mr.Doran the Field prize. There is no distinction in regard to these prizes, they being equal.
Class Day of the Law Department.
The first annual class day of the graduating class of the law department was held last Saturday morning in the chapel. W. C. Stevens presided, and opened up the exercises with a speech of welcome.
The salutatory was delivered by J. H. Albach, of this city. After speaking of the progress and prospects of the law department, he turned to the "Utility of Legal Knowledge." He dwelt upon the importance of law and lawyers, and the necessity of legal principles and their enforcement. His remarks were well chosen and cordially received by his hearers. Miss Bertha Starr rendered one of her magnificent vocal solos, "O Loving Heart Trust On."
The class prophecy, by J. B. Van Vleit, of Frankfort, admirably took off the weak points of the various members of the class, and was received with applause as he dwelt on the peculiarities displayed twenty years from date. The Euphonium solo by J. W. Bell, was very fine, and was enthusiastically enced.
B. F. Talbott had a carefully prepared and well delivered oration on "The Judiciary." He explained the formation and work of the judiciary and showed its points of excellence. A vocal solo by Dan Crew, the words and music original, was deservedly encored.
Harry Ballinger, of Hutchinson, delivered the address to the Junior class, scoring it unmercifully. He would call it a "necessity," but "necessity knows no law. He presented a banner with skull and cross bones upon it. S. W. Moore, of the Junior class, received it with the remark that the Senior class had left their photographs behind them. His speech was full of good jokes on the Seniors, being stopped several times by applause Miss Mabel Gore rendered a piano solo in her usual unsurpassible style.
The valedictory, delivered by E. C. Little, of Abilene, was the finest speech of the day. His subject, "The Pulpit and the Bar," was interesting in his method of treatment, and more than any other speaker, he held the audience to close attention. Mr. Little is one of the best orators in the University, and his oration was a model of thought and delivery. He praised the good preacher and the honest lawyer, and described their powerful work for civilization and Christianity. At the close of the oration he delivered a fitting valedictory, expressing the regard of the graduates for their alma mater.
