Oratorical Contest.
The preliminary oratorical contest was held Friday evening in the Chapel and was pronounced to have been the most successful one held in years here. The audience although not filling the Chapel was much larger than it usuallly is on such occasions and it certainly
was an appreciative one. The orations were interspersed with an excellent musical program consisting of a violin solo, Miss Bowersock, vocal solo, Miss Daisy Starr, and the Lorelei quartette.
Miss Reed was the first speaker of the evening introduced by President House. Her topic was "The Promise of Woman;" Mr. G. W. Ellis came next with an oration on "The Value of Conservatism in Our Republic;" Mr. E. M. Carney of the Law school followed with an oration on "Martyr or Traitor—Which?" Mr. L. C. Gray talked on the subject, "Why Government At All?" This was a very thoughtful production being logical and well built in every way. It ranked third in the estimation of the judges. The oration taking first place was delivered by W. T. McMurray and was a polished effort. He took for his subject "Charlemagne." The decision of the judges met with universal approval. Mr. C. M. Sharpe came last and delivered a most excellent oration entitled "The Rising or the Setting Sun?" He was awarded second place. The following is the list of judges on Thought and Composition; Mr. Mitchell, Dr. Cordley, Dr. Marvin: on Delivery Mr. J. E. Peairs, Prof. Smith, Rev. Banker.
