Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1906-10-23

last Monday, Professor Hult of the
department of English spoke on the
Olympic Games Of the Greeks. Pro
fessor HUT spent last year in Europe
and was one of the Americans present
at Athens and witnessed the grea,
victory which the team from this
country won last May in the Olympic
contests held at that time. His
description of this contest proved
very interesting as he told of the
crowd present and the enthusiasm
which the victory of the Americans
evoked even among the world wide
races gathered together on this oc
casion. One particular characteristic
of Grecian athletes, he noted, and
that was their great patriotism. All
their victories are won for their
country's glory, and he told of one
athlete who could not be prevailed up
on to accept the prize that he had
won except in the form of a public
building for his native town.
