H. F. M. Bear, Editor-in Chief of the Review, the Successful Contestant.
The Seventh Annual Oratorical contest, held in University Hall last Friday evening was of unusual interest and the speakers made a most creditable appearance The audience was better than is customary on such occasions and the speakers were well appreciated by the audience.
Dr. Marvin delivered the invocation, and after music by a mandolin and guitar club, Jus. D. Bowersock spoke on "Some American Philosophy." Mr. Bowersock is a pleasant appearing young man and has an easy and yet forcible delivery. His oration was of a speculative style and in it the speaker took a favorable view of the present American tendency.
Mr. A. L. Burney, of Harrisonville, Mo., spoke on "Benedict Arnold." Mr. Burney has a good presence and a strong manly voice. His delivery suffered from the effects of a recent illness. The oration was a historical one and displayed clearly before the audience the chacter of the notorious American.
C. S. Hall, of Bogard, Mo., had as a subject, "Are We One?" He decided that we are one, the we being the people of the United States. Mr. Hall is not a trained speaker and his delivery was somewhat constrained, but a powerful voice helped out, an otherwise rather weak delivery. The oration was well received by the audience.
Mr. John A. Mushrush, of Topeke, Kas, who spoke on "John Quincy Adams, and the Right of Petition," is a veteran on the college rostrum and exhibited a pleasing self-possession. A quiet conversational manner distinguished his delivery. His oration showed careful preparation, and reviewed in an analytical manner the public service of John Quincy Adams.
Mr. W. W. Russ, of Lawrence, spoke of "A Nation's Danger." Chas. Scott would call this oration "Jeremiai." Mr. Russ was ill at ease in his delivery, though exhibiting a commendable earnestness. His oration called attention to the dangers of American society.
Mr. H. F. Bear, of Paola, Kansas, spoke on "The Growth of Government." Mr. Bear's delivery was the most striking of the evening, and it made an evident impression on the audience. He was interrupted by applause. His extreme earnestness, and great care in pronunciation, combined with appropriate and graceful gestures made him a prime favorite. His oration traced the growth of government from the simple, despotic priest-craft of the savage tribes, to the enlightened democratic government of the modern republics. He was awarded first place by the
judges to the evident satisfaction of the audience and contestants. His lead over his opponents is remarkable, and is almost unprecedented in local contests.
The judges rankings are as follows:
