All sorts of wagons have come and gone good,. bad and indifferent,, but there has only been one best, "T H E M ITCH EL L." Every
year has seen a new wagon on the market, they were all "just as good," according to the statements of their makers, but they didn't last and were
only purchased to be discarded as unfit for use, in a short while, and left the purchaser "A sadder, but a wiser man." The Old Reliable Mitchell
has stood the test of time, it has a reputation founded upon known quality and merit and is recognized as the standard all over the world. Every
piece of material that goes into it is the best that can be obtained.
When you buy a Mitchell you always have the satisfaction of knowing that you have the best, and if you really want a wagon get the best;
a poor wagon you will find, will be an expensive investment. Don't experiment, but buy a Mitchell.

As the Oregon Agricultural College has made rapid and substantial
growth in the past few years in the matter of buildings, equipment, attendance, etc., so also have those enterprises which are carried on by
the students grown and developed. Debate and oratory have made rapid
strides, the Athletic Union has multiplied its achievements, and the
Christian Associations have become a vital and potent force in college.
The primary object of this publication is to endeavor to show the work
of these student organizations. We realize the difficulty of adequately
portraying the achievements of them, for the greater part of their work

cannot be chronicled, but must be seen in order to be undrstood and appreciated. Nevertheless, we trust that this may lead some to know that
the students of our college are not inactive, but are awake, alert, aggressive and successful. Furthermore, the desire to furnish a souvenir illust.rative of the college and the students prompted us to produce this issue
as it is. We trust that our subscribers, as well as any others who secure
this, will save and cherish this little book, not because of its merits, but
because it was intended to show what the 0. A. C. was in 1905.
The Military Department
By Mark V. Weatherford
"In such a measure as we are prepared to enforce them, will our
demands on other nations receive consideration," are the words of Theodore Roosevelt, and perhaps no better definition of the relation of war
to our modern civilization could be framed. There has been a growing
tendency, with the rapid development and progress of every department
of science, to do away with the suffering and hardships of war. Scarcely
a half dozen years have passed since the czar of Russia issued his famous
proclamation to the powers of the world, pleading for a conference
wherein an international tribunal could be organized, through which all
differences between nations coud be peaceably settled, and the horrors of
campaigns should exist only as a relic of the past. Today that crowned
head sits upon the same throne, not as an advocate of universal peace, but
the director of one of the bloodiest wars ever recorded in history, either
ancient or modern.
While it is universally admitted that the elimination of war from the
records of the twentieth century would be a commendable thing, still
it has proved an impossibility. Our nation in the future, as it has in the
past, must rely upon its constituents for the perpetuation of its principles and the protection of its rights. It is an established fact that we
cannot put all our trust in a regular army. The standing army of the
United States consists of about 100,000 men. At the close of the Civil
War there were over 1,000,000 soldiers in the service. This is significant:
that should the stars and stripes again float over an army engaged in
active warfare, the call for volunteers will be made and the strength of
the gigantic army of the Rebellion will be duplicated before the echo
of that call has ceased resounding throughout the extent of our land.
In such a case, the war department will not be under the strained
conditions of 1861. Although the knowledge was gained by the sacrifice
-of thousands of lives, the conductors of that war saw that the men were
eager to fight for their flag; yet the masses of recruits were useless when
not properly officered. In order that posterity should not have to en-

counter such a barrier, and perhaps with the end in view of strengthening and perfecting our military standing, congress, at the suggestion of
President Lincoln, created a fund for the establishment and support of
schools, where the practical sciences and arts coud be studied, and also
instruction could be given to the students in military science and drill.
The Oregon Agricultural College is one of these schools. Its history
from the year 1872, when military instruction was first introduced, to
the present time has been one of continual progress. The change from
one crude structure and a block of ground to ten modern, well-furnished
buildings with a spacious campus, the replacing of the small classes by
the largest enrollment of any college in the state, is symbolic of its development. Of no less marked degree has been the growth of the mili
tary department.
Like the other departments in the college, the military organization
has not achieved its present state of excellence at a single stride nor in
a single year; but slowly as time passed by, every year stands as a distinct period in its evolution from a few score of recruits to the present
corps as it appears on the parade grounds. It is gratifying to know, however, that much more progress has been made within the most recent
ycars than in those of any other period.
Previous to 1900 there were three companies of infantry and a detachment of signal corps. During the year '03-'04 there was one battalion of infantry, consisting of four companies. At the present time
the formation is regimental, composed of two battalions and a band of
thirty pieces. The first battalion consists of four companies of infantry.
The second battalion is composed of detachments of cavalry, artillery,
signal corps, and hospital corps.
The organization is under the command of a regular army officer
and is governed by almost exactly the same rules as those in vogue in our
standing army. The cadet officers are selected from the Junior and
Senior classes; the non-commissioned officers from the Senior, Junior and
Sophomore classes. Officers and non-commissioned officers arc required
to be thoroughly conversant with the regulations governing military tactics, as well as have a good standing in their regular classes. No cadet
can graduate and receive a diploma unless proficient in the military department. The cadets drill five times a week, receiving instruction in
the particular organization to which they belong.
While every one agrees that this instruction will prove advantageous
to the country in times of war, there are few who have not considered the
hnefit to be derived in time of peace. If we were not to consider a man's
duty to his flag; if we were to make no calculations of a future war,
the time spent in drill would be a dividend-paying investment. It improves the physique and appearance of a cadet. It teaches prompt action and strict obedience to orders. The system of keeping records in the
United States army is said to be the best in the world. A study of such
a system will suggest ideas of exactness and present principles of economy, which are of vital importance to a successful citizen. It also gives
an insight to the strength of our nation, as well as a conception of the art
of organization, control and care of troops.
The band is under the direction of a competent musician. Several
new instruments have been procured by the board of regents, and the
present year finds the regimental band more complete than ever.
Several times since their organization the 0. A. C. cadets have, at
the close of the college year, entered an encampment for two or three
days, thus receiving instruction in the actual field duties of a soldier, The
present cadet corps may be congratulated upon being more fortunate
than any of their predecessors along this line. Through the efforts of our
conimandant, Lieutenant Quinlan, it has been made possible for every
cadet to enter an encampment for ten days at the Lewis and Clark Fair.
The institution will be represented in the competitive drills, both by the
entire military organization and by selected companies. Cadets from
niilitary schools and crack companies of the National Guard from all
parts of the United States will take part in these exhibition drills, and
the closest competition will prevail. At this time very little can be said
with regard to our chances, but the cadets will go into the contest with
the feeling that they will do credit to their college and state.
The school year of '04- '05 closes a most successful epoch in the military department, yet even more could probably have been accomplished
had not the cadets been hampered by lack of drill room and compelled
to use the old-style Springfield rifles. Our present armory, 70x100 feet,
is not large enough to accommodate the entire body, and during stormy
weather, when the parade ground cannot be used, the officers experience
difficulty in instructing their men. The artillery have been compelled to
use guns that would scarcely bring a first-class figure if placed on the
market os old iron.
From present indications, the military body will not long be compelled to labor under these adverse conditions. Indeed, bright prospects
for the future are looked for by those intimately associated with the de-
S
partment. Lieutenant Quinlan is working diligently to have the Springfield rifles replaced by the Krag-Jorgenson carbine, now used by the
United States cavalry. Every effort is being made to procure a modern
machine gun and one 3.2 steel rifle to supersede the obsolete cannon. It
is practically assured that the detachment of cavalry will be supplied
with saddles during the next year, and instruction will be given in the
saddling, bitting and care of the horse. Arrangements are being made
to have a division of the National Guard hold an annual encampment in
the vicinity of Corvallis in order that the cadets may participate in their
maneuvers and thereby gain some knowledge of actual armed warfare.

Floyd Williams
It is not the standing a student has in his classes that causes him to
he remembered and honored by his fellows; it is, rather, the part he takes
in those enterprises which are carried on by the students themselves. Of
these enterprises, intercollegiate athletics stand first in popularity, in
extent, and in the amount of time and money devoted to it. Of the
different departments of athletics, football stands first and track work
second in point of importance. The man who has carried off more
honors from both gridiron and track in the history of the Agricultural
College is the subject of this sketch, the captain of the champion track
team of the Northwest for 1905Floyd Alexander Williams.
Williams is a Polk county youth, graduating from the agricultural
course this year with excellent standing in his classes. He made good
on the football team in his Freshman year, and since that time our team
has never lined up for battle but Floyd Williams has been in his place,
left halfback. His career as, a football player has been brilliant; he has
carried the pigskin behind the enemy's goal more times than any other
player. The credit for this, however, is largely due to the splendid in-
coast record in the 220-yard dash, and running the 100 and 440-yard
dashes within a shade of the Northwest records. his work this year
needs no comment, his victories and records of other years being duplicated. As a college athlete he stands unique, and his like will probably
not appear in many years.
W. 0. Trine
If the question were asked 0. A. C. men, "Why has the Agricultural
College recently made such rapid strides in athletics?'' the answer in
most cases, and which is undoubtedly correct, would be, "Dad Trine."
This man, who is putting in his third year as trainer and his second year
as physical director for our college, is without question the greatest
trainer of athletes on the Pacific coast. His success is not due to any
wonderful secrets or tricks, but rather because of his common-sense
methods and his knowledge as to how to handle each individual man.
His men are never overtrained, nor has he ever injured one by allowing
him to compete in a trying race without sufficient preparation. His in-
terference put up by his teammates.
Williams' career on the track began in his second year. Before that
time he was ignorant of his own possibilities. That was the year "Dad"
Trine appeared on the scene and Williams went into training. His was
fluence over those in his care is always wholesome; and as he realizes the
the most remarkable instance of what training will, do for a man ever
observed in our college. The fact that he was defeated in the local tryout
in the 100-yard dash in 11 2-5 seconds, and then before the season was
finished had defeated the best college sprinters in the state, speaks for'
itself. In the meet with the U. of. 0. he defeated the redoubtable Payne
in four events, thereby winning the appellation of "Payne Killer Williams.''
The following year his work was still more remarkable, ticing the
weaken or harm the body.
Mr. Trine's own athletic career was of such an extraordinary character, and because it is practically unknown to the present college generation, we will speak briefly of it. He first b.egan to run in the SOs, his
first work being with the Lebanon hose team. In 1889 he led the Astoria
hose team to two world's records, which are still unbroken. F011owing
his work in Oregon with two .years in California, he met and defeated
necessity of strict temperance and chastity in order' that one become a
winning athlete, the effect of a season's training under him is to
strengthen one's moral nature and to eliminate any habits that tend to
such men as Bathune, the great Canadian champion; James MeLeod,
who, prior to his meeting Trine, had won thirty races consecutively;
Chancy Gibson, who held the world's record in the 150-yard dash, was
defeated in 14 1-2 seconds, a record that still stands. Coming back to
Oregon, from '91 to '96 he defeated all the fastest professional runners
in the valley, including Billy Ray.
Mr. Trine then began his work at the University of Oregon, and in
his five years there met one defeat, that with the Berkeley team, that had
previously made such a splendid showing in the East. In 1897 Trine
him that Smith made the state record in the hammer, which has stood for
years, but must inevitably fall before another of Trine 's athletes, Dow
Walker.
Many a young man owes much to this veteran trainer in having a
stronger, lither, faster body, and many a man for whom the multitude
has loosened its lungs would never have been so honored but for the care
and instruction given him by "Dad" Trine.

0. A. C. Wins from Oregon.
For the first time since 1897 0. A. C. has won the championship of
Oregon on the track, and not only that, but also the championship of the
Northwest. The decisive victory over the University of Washington, followed by defeating the University of Oregon by a greater score, gives us
a clear title to these honors. The meet with Oregon May 27 was in no
way disappointing to the supporters of the Orange, every one of Trine 's
men doing his duty well, and the score, 78 to 44, indicates closely the
respective strength of the two teams.
It is a notable fact that 0. A. C. won every race, the 120 and 220yard hurdles, the 100, 220, 440 and 880-yard, mile and relay races, and
it speaks plainly the greatness of W. 0. Trine as a trainer of athletes.
In the field events honors were evenly divided, each team winning three
firsts. The Northwest record in the half mile was lowered, the new mark
being 2 :02 1-5. The time in the relay, 3 :33, was splendid. The college
record in the 120-yard hurdles was lowered from 0 :16 4-5 to 0 :16 1-5 by
Belden. Swann broke his own record in the pole vault, making 10 feet
6 inches. Hugg was the star for the visitors, putting the shot 40 feet

J?IRST BASKET BALL TEAM---Season '04-'05
Football
*
The chief direction of the preparation of the football team for the
season of '05 has been committed again to Dr A C Steckle, and the se
lection is unquestionably the best that could have been madc It is
doubtful if there is a better coach in the West. Some of his admirers
place him on the same plane with Yost of Michigan, Stagg of Chicago,
and other famous football tacticians Like them Dr Steckle follows no
beaten paths in the development of hi cien and then play I-Ic does not
confine himself in the preparation of a formation and in its execution
to the play as some other cOach has made and used it. He fits the units
or men in the play to the formation, and the formation to the units. He
may change the detail of the formation to accommodate it to his material
He may make an entirely new play particularly suited to men at his
command This is scientific football and scientific use of material Any
man in the team who is especially strong in a particular style of assault
is sure to have arranged for him by Dr. Steckle a play in which that
talent is given full opportunity and is used to the uttermost
Dr Steckle first attained fame as captain of a team for the Univer
sity of Michigan in 1900, the year before Yost went to the institution
The captain that year was the chief coach also, and the record made by
the team was the beginning of that spectacular and uninterrupted ea
reer of success that has placed the University of Michigan equal to, if
not actually above, the big eastern universities in football achievement
Dr Steckle played tackle on the team and made a reputation as a player
that gave him first place as a tackle on the all-western team of that year.
For three years thereafter he coached the University of Nevada team,
and brought that aggregation from the position of an unknown and unheard of team up 'to the same plane with the California universities, both
of which were repeatedly played to a standstill, and each of which was
defeated by Steckle and his Nevada bunch. Those successes gave Steekle
a repute as a trainer that brought him numerous offers from the East
and elsewhere, but he finally accepted a tempting offer from 0. A. C., and
*
during the season of '04 coached the eleven. He gave to the Oregon
Agnes a system of play that made them universally acknowledged in the
newspapers and by experts to have been the best team playing in the
Northwest last year. The team defeated the University of Washington
by the overwhelming score of 26 to 5, but with the captain and two of
his best men out, lost to the University of Oregon in the annual game of
the year by a score of 6 to 5, the result turning on a goal kick. These
achievements were followed up in a Christmas game with the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club team, in which, though defeated, the team won
the greatest victory ever won by a college eleven over that aggregation.
The men from 0. A. C. scored twice against Multnomah, the instance
being the first, save one, in which Multnomah was ever scored against
on her own field by a college eleven. The achievement brought a distinction that is enjoyed alone by the men of 0. A. C. As in the Eugene
game, the match was lost only by a goal kick.
In every respect Dr. Steckle is an ideal coach. He is widely popular
with athletes, members of the faculty and all others, and his moral influence on the men under him is most excellent. The fact that he is to
coach the 0. A. C. team next year makes certain a brilliant season as to
games and a splendid record in football achievement.
George Herbert Root is captain of the '05 team. He is in his third
year in college and will be playing his fourth season. In personal character he is the prince of good fellows, and as a player a most formidable
man His ordinary weight is 195 to 200 pounds, and he is one of the
best 50-yard sprinters in college. He is fast, fierce and almost irresistible
in a line buck and very swift at end running. He is equally great in
defensive tactics, and through it all has a nerve and grit that never
wavers, flags or falters. He is idolized by his teammates, who will follow
him as their field leader in the coming season with an abandon and determination to make them a mighty hard bunch to stop. The election of
Root to the captaincy was unanimous, and his selection a personal tribute

of the men to his length of service, his achievement as a player, and to
his high personal character, which so pre-eminently fit him for the position.
Equal with the coaches and with the men themselves as an essential
to success is the manager. -No role is more difficult, no position so exacting, and no place more important. A happy union of shrewdness, executive ability, discretion, financial acumen, patience to an infinite degree,
and, above all, the inherent and instinctive qualities of a gentleman are
vital essentials to a successful manager. Few athletic teams ever find all
these traits fully embodied in one man. Yet, in happy concord with the
highly flattering arrangements for the season of '05, 0. A. C. has a manager who embodies every characteristic essential to perfect management
of the team and its finances. He is Fred C. Stimson, a Yamhill county
boy of the class of '05. He became manager in the '04 season, and
throughout the year managed the various athletic teams with such bril-
liant success, financially and otherwise, that he has been retained as a
graduate manager for the season of '05. Though he entered upon the
work without experience, his success has been so phenomenal that he
has become widely known in the Northwest as a most able manager. It
is doubtful if any young - man anywhere ever, sprung so quickly into
prominence or so quickly took rank as a success in his particular field as
has Manager Fred Stimson since he became general manager of athletics
at 0. A. C. last October. In character he is genial and gentlemanly, yet
firm and unyielding as a military commander when convinced that he is
right. He is cool, scrupulously fair and just, generous and gentlemanly
with rival managers, and always devoted and untiring in seeking, first
of all, the welfare of his players. He provides for them lavishly in the
eqpuipment and training so vital to success. He is widely popular with
them, which, in part, accounts for his ability to contribute so largely to
their success, professionally and financially.

Young Women's Christian
Association
**
The student conferences, conducted by the national committee of
the Young Women's Christian Association, have come to be such an
important factor in the advancement of the association work in our
colleges, that a brief history of our connection with them might be
interesting.
Prior to 1897, there were three annual summer conferences held in
the United States, at Geneva, Northfield, and Nashville, Tennessee.
In that year, however, a conference was held at Mills' College, California,
Miss Dora Porter, of our college, being the first delegate to such a gathering.
For the next two years no conferences were held on the Pacific
Coast, then the Capitola conference was organized and first met in 1900
under the supervision of Miss Harriet Taylor. Through the kindness of
Mrs. Hearst one hundred and twenty-five girls were enabled to attend.
Miss Edna Groves was the delegate from 0. A. C.
In 1901 Mrs. Hearst again assisted the girls from the State schools
to attend, at which time Miss Edith Howard was our delegate. In 1902
Misses Dora Lindgren and Sibyl Cummings attended the Capitola conference; in 1903, Misses Etta Fuller and Alice Edwards; and in 1904, Misses
Georgia Herbert and Isabel Wright. The expenses of each delegate was
$45 or $50, part of which was defrayed by the association.
This year a conference for the Northwest associations will be held at
Gearhart Park, Oregon, on the coast near Astoria, beginning about the
first of September and continuing for ten days, and our local association
plans sending at least fifteen delegates. The expenses of each will be
about $25.
The Y. M. C. A. has for three years held their Northwest conference
at Gearhart Park, and from them we have learned what an ideal place it
is for such a meeting. We hope also to be strengthened by having to
lead more than was possible at Capitola, where the older and stronger
associations, at Stanford and Berkeley, took all the care and responsibility upon themselves.
During Miss McCorkle 's last visit, an advisory board, consisting of
the ladies of the town, was organized, and is as follows:
President, Mrs. F. Berchtold; Secretary-Treasurer,Miss Ammee Leverett; Misionary Committee,. Mrs. McCaustland; Finance Committee,
Mrs. W. A. Wells, Mrs. F. L. Miller; Devotional Committee, Mrs. B. A.
Cathey; Intercollegiate Committee, Miss Etta Fuller, Miss Edna Groves.
During the past we have received much assistance from the ladies
of the town, but with our better organized plans we hope to accomplish
much more. All girls who belong to, or have belonged to, the association,
will do well to give careful attention to the following: During the Lewis
& Clark Fair, the Y. W. C. A. will have headquarters in Portland for the
purpose of aiding visitors. They will have a lunch room, rest room, lavatories and bath, and an information bureau. Bring your Association
membership card to the headquarters, it entitles you to certain privileges
and to a reduction of from 33 1-3 to 50.per cent on everything excepting
lunch. Membership cards must be presented in order to secure memhership privileges.
In Memoriam
**
By PrOf. F. Berchtold.
And when old Time shall lead him to his end,
Goodness and he need but one monument.
He was a man, good, and true, whom they recently bore to his last
resting place at Muncie, Indiana. A man who had gained recognition
and gathered laurels in executive chambers, in the halls of learning, and
en the. field of battle: JOHN M. BLoss, A. M., quondam president of this,
our beloved istitution, the Oregon Agricultural College.
Mr. Bloss succeeded to the presidency of the 0. A. C. in June, 1892,
shortly after the untimely demise of President B. L. Arnold, one of the
grandest men, as well as one of the most successful educators, in the
West. A strong arm was wanted to take up the reins where a steady,
skillful hand had prematurely dropped them. The man was found in
John M. Bloss, at one time Superintendent of Public Instruction of the
State of Indiana, and later City Superintendent of the schools 'of Topeka,
Kansas. His admirable professional and social qualities had been discov-
ered during a previous visit of his, when, on invitation, he came to
Oregon to lend a helping hand in the interests of an important State
Teachers' Institute.
The man frOm the prairie became at once very favorably impressed
with our great state and its as yet unnnumbered possibilities, and threw
sions of one kind and another, contributing everywhere from the rich
store of his knowledge and experience, now proffering help or advice, now
bestowing sympathy; doing it all 'without offensive ostentation but with
such earnestness of purpose and genuine sincerity of heart as to betoken
the true Christian, the scholar, and the gentleman in happy combination.
With the "Boys in Blue" Mr. Bloss served all through the 'War of
the Rebellion, in which, entering as a private, he rose to the rank of
Captain. The hardships and privations of a protracted campaign had
undermined his former robust health, and the four years of strenuous
mental and physical activity in the capacity of executive head of a large
educational institution doubtless further sapped his vitality and made
sad inroads on what once must have been a superb constitution. He
sought relief in travel, but found it not, and finally decided, though with
great reluctance, for his work was dear to him, to retire and devote his
declining years to less exacting labors. For this purpose he returned
to Indiana, his native state, where by reason of less irksome duties, and
mid congenial surroundings, he succeeded in repairing, though never
"
completely restoring, his lost physical strength.
Though two thousand miles away, his love for Oregon never cooled';
his affection for the friends gained, never waned One of his last, chief
deircs was to revisit the land of the setting sun and there renew the
the whole strength of his fertile intellect, supported by a charming frieridships and acquaintances made among young and old in the hospit'personality, into the task of developing these possibilities by the advocacy able homes, pleasant citie3 and beautiful valleys of dear, far away
of the cause of higher education; its upbuilding and advancement along
all lines and with all classes, but particularly among the rural population.
For four years President Bloss labored and toiled ceaselessly in the
recitation room, at farmers' institutes, educational gatherings, and occa-
Oregon.
In the hearts of scores of the graduates of the 0. A. C. the name of
President Bloss will forever remain enshrined as that of a true, wholehearted man, faithful friend and counselor.

Forensics in the 0. A. C.: A Retrospect.
Intercollegiate oratory in the Oregon Agricultural College has been
a feature since 1893. Then it was that the interstate contests were held
between Oregon and Washington, Whittlesey of the University of Oregon and Mildred Linville of the Oregon Agricultural College being Oregon's representatives at the last contest under the old regime, which was
held in 1896, the first place being awarded to Whittlesey of the University of Oregon and the second to Miss Linville. This Northwest interstate contest was finally modified, and the Oregon Intercollegiate Association was formed of the various institutions of which it now is. Our
admittance was granted in 1896, when Mr. W. J. Gilstrap was our representative, the contest that year being held at Albany. Since that time
many changes have been wrought, for then there was but little local enthusiasm, and rarely it was when the contestants numbered more than
Another association, of which we are a charter member, is the Prohibition Intercollegiate Oratorical Association, which was formed in
1902. Thomas Bilyeu was the first contestant from this school, R. R.

chosen from the Pacific coast and select one to represent them in the national contest.
Students who have talent should enter these contests, and those who
It was not until 1900 that the societies took up the work of making the
contest a success. This was at the time opposed by many students and
some of the faculty, but better judgment prevailed, and we now have the
local contest which reaches such a high standard each year. The state
contest was held here that year, and the receipts being much in advance
of the expenditures, it placed the local association in such a position
pecuniarily that they are able to offer the substantial prizes now given,
and so much enthusiasm and rivalry has been engendered that the local
contest is now one of the big intellectual meets of the college year.
inducements to the talented speaker, because it allows him, if successful
in the state, to compete in the national contest, composed of several dis-
tricts, and usually held somewhere in the East. An Oregon man from
Pacific College last year won first place in that great contest, and three
years ago a man from the same school was granted third place.
This is an association which should have a firmer hold in the 0. A.
C. and receive a greater impetus, for no association can offer a greater
inducement to the ambitious student than does this, as the first and second speakers from the state contest meet with other speakers similarly
anticipate doing so should begin preparation during the summer vacation, even though it be merely reading along lines which he expects to
write upon, for a comprehensive reading of the subject to be treated,
along with much preparation of the oration proper, is the only thing that
will win in an oratorical contest. The friend who corrects it cannot do
as well as you if you will put in all your talent and spare time upon the
subject chosen. With the enthusiasm that has been fostered here in
oratory, coupled with a wide-awake student body, I believe in the future
we ought to win both of these contests. I believe we can win them, and I
believe we will win them.
