It was about 8:45 last Friday evening when J. G. Wine, of the University, called to order the assemblage gathered in the Grand Opera house at Topeka, to listen to the future orators of Kansas. The enthusiasm of the students owing partly to the absence of the tin horn, and partly to the unreasonableness of the Topeka policemen was not at all comparable to that displayed last year. After a few well chosen remarks President Wine introduced the Washburn Chorus club, which gave a beautiful rendering of "The Bridal Chorus." After the invocation by Rev. A. L. Embree, Mr. W. M. Carle, of the College of Emporia, spoke on "The Foundation of Republican Government." Mr. Carle had a clear and well written oration, and his delivery was natural, although lacking in force. Like one or two of the other orators he was somewhat awkward in foot movement. "The Great City" by Chas, N. Riehl, of Winfield, had some originality. The delivery, however was seriously impaired by the condition of the orator's throat. His gestures were easy, but he fell into the common mistake of making his gestures of force above the plane of the elbow.
The State Contest.
A solo, "Bel Raggio" by Miss Hallie Walker, of Topeka, produced a splendid ovation, which was responded to by a touching rendition of Home Sweet Home. There was an universal shout of enthusiasm from the balcony when M. S. Rice of Baker, was introduced. Mr. Rice's delivery was probably the most forcible of the evening; his voice was clear and resonant, and his gestures well chosen. He enunciated his theme in his first sentence, "Government is a means, not an end."
Mr. W. C. Coleman of the State Normal, the winning orator, was the next speaker. He enunciated in an able manner the true Philosophy of Reform, showing how all reform arises from the Spirit of Dissent guided by conservatism. Although his voice was too much inclined to fall into colloquiatism, Mr. Coleman exhibited in his whole delivery, from the flash of the eye to the rapidly descending palm, an earnestness that was possessed by but one other orator of the evening.
After a trombone solo by Mr. Wagstaff of Salina, Ira Fred Bull, of the Kansas Wesleyan University, Salina, spoke upon Political Legitimacy. Mr. Bull had an easy, pleasing delivery with as little of the artificial as any orator of the evening.
"Heroism in the Realm of Thought" was the subject developed by Julius Weidling of Washburn. Mr. Weidling was perfectly at home on the stage. By the ease of his gestures and his excellent intonation he well deserved what the judges gave him on delivery, first place. His voice was clear and capable of strong emphasis. When he had finished it was generally thought that he was the winner. The judges, however, awarded him third place.
The K. U. Glee Club sang "The Phantom Band," and responded to a hearty encore with "Romeo and Juliet," which brought down the house. The next speaker was Thornton Cooke, of Kansas University. He made no attempt at dramatic oratory, but delivered his orations in an easy forecible manner.
The last speaker was John Kjellin, of Ottawa University, whose subject was "Through Difficulties to the Stars". His voice was too low, and was marred by his foreign accent, but his oration had more of the qualities of an oration than several of the philosophical essays which were delivered during the evening.
The judges' markings were as follows:
Rank ...
Carle ... 85
Rheil ... 90
Kuo ... 90
Coleman ... 95
Rush ... 90
Wadding ... 95
Cookie ... 85
Kjeim ... 95
Dewey ... 85
Olin ... 90
Perry ... 87
Doster ... 93
Tilliston ... 94
Hickman ... 91
Hickman ... 92
Hickman ... 93
Hickman ... 94
Hickman ... 92
Hickman ... 93
The contest was about as even as any we have had. The audience, as a whole undoubtedly expected to see Weidling get first place. He was marked down on thought and composition, however, and we all join in hoping that the winner will obtain a high rank in the Interstate Contest.
Oratorical Convention.
The annual convention of the State Oratorical met last Saturday in the parlors of Hotel Throop. C. D. Welch and Warren Finney both claimed election as second delegate from Washburn, Finney was seated, Officers were elected as follows: President, Forest Woodside, of the State Normal; vice-president, C. W. Miller, of the College of Emporia; secretary and treasurer, J. W. Curry, of Winfield college. M. S. Rice was declared first delegate, and Willis Dunham, of Washburn, was elected second, and H. Q. Banta, of Ottawa University, third delegate to the Inter-state convention to be held at Columbus, Ohio. The application of Midland college. Atchison, for admission in to the Association was rejected on the ground that there were too many colleges in the association already. An amendment to the constitution was adopted making it no longer necessary for each local association to deposit five dollars to provide for a deficit at the state contest. After a vote of thanks for the able manner in which the executive committee had conducted the business of the association, the convention adjourned.
Kansas College Press Association.
Representatives of the Kansas college journals met in Topeka last week and organized the Kansas College Press Association. The object of this association is the advancement of journalism in the higher educational institutions of Kansas. The publications represented at the meeting were the following: Argo Reporter, Baker Index, Baker Beacon, Round Table, Campus, Advance, College Life, Courier, Review, the Midland and the STUDENTS JOURNAL. The officers elected are as follows: President, S. B. Haskins, of the Baker Beacon; vicepresident, W. J. Krebblai, of the STUDENTS JOURNAL; secretary, S. E. McEachron, of the Argo Reporter; treasurer, Frank Haas, of the Midland. The association meets annually in Topeka.
