The Oratorical Contest.
There is time before going to press to give but a brief report of the state oratorical contest which occurred at Topeka this (Friday) evening. Our orator won several very flattering grades on thought and composition but the first honors were taken by Mr.C.B.Dalton of Baker university. Mr.F.L.Platt of Washburn and Mr.H.W.Randolph of the College of Emporia tied for second place.
The judges on thought and composition were, General J. C. Caldwell, Lieutenant Governor J. A. Troutman, and Prof. O. E. Olin of Manhattan. Rev. C. B. Mitchell of Kansas City, Mo., Ex-State Superintendent Geo. W. Winans and ex-Chief Justice A. H. Horton were the judges on delivery.
NOTES.
The contest lacked much of the college spirit which has characterized former contests.
Mr. Frank House sang a pleasing solo.
An overcoat containing the only copy of Gov. Troutman's grades was stolen before the result was announced. This incident may yet effect the final rank of some of the orators.
Phi Kappa Psi.
That twenty young men can successfully hold the position of entertainers and receivers was well demonstrated by the gentlemen of the Phi Kappa Psi last Friday evening. The Pythian hall, beautifully decorated with the pink and lavendar, the fraternity colors, was the reception room. The music was furnished by Carl Busch's orchestra of Kansas City. Many young men and women from Kansas City, Ottawa, Topeka and elsewhere added to the pleasure of the occasion. Light refreshments were served throughout the evening. The young men were aided in receiving by Mrs. H.G.Schaum.
