MEDALS FOR PRIZES
A New Oratorical Contest This is a
Fact.

Fact.
AT the mems oratorical contest last
evening the very pleasant announce
ment was made that Rev James l..
Mcbride, of Chicago, had offered a
medal to be presented the winner OF
a new oratorical contest. Rev Nc
Bride COO is at present pastor of
the Rogers Park Presbyterian church
Of Chicago. He is an enthusiastic
Alma supporter, and one of the kind
who make known their sentiments
in material ways The medal he offers
is valuable one, its wholesale price
being $1,000 The conditions on which
the medal is given are as follows:
1.-The contest shall be called the
Chicago Oratorical contest. 2-The
contest shall be open 10 both men and
women. 3-Subjects of the orations
shall not be biographical. 4-Judges
shall be selected by the president of
the college. 5-Composition and
thought and delivery shall receive sep
arate judgment, wi, for the former
25 per cent, and for the latter IS per
cent. 6-Orations shall occupy not
more than twelve minutes each.
Taking advantage Of Mr. McBride's
very kind offer, Professor Adams and
! the Oratorical Association immediate
! ly arranged for the contest 1t will be
held the evening OF Friday, May ).
This is a great advancement in ora
tory in Alma. 1t means a contest for
which a greater amount Of time can
BE- taken to prepare than is possible
/ for the fall contest, and it means,
above all, an occasion in which to de-
vclop material for the state contest.
Alma has made great progress in a
short time in platform work. In 1901
the first intercollegiate debate was
held with Albion, in which Alma lost.
Since that time Alma has taken her
place among the best.
Tn oratory Nina has not lived up to
her high aims Several thirds and
fourths have been won in the mems
state contests, and second place in
the womens contest This record,
however, is not going to satisfy any

too good for the Maroon and Cream.
1t is this spirit that is needed TO keep
up progress and enthusiasm Last
year the students showed their senti-
meut when trainload OF them went
down TO Lansing 10 cheer our orators
on But you, fellow student must give
not only your moral support to these
things, but you must get off your coat
and work We need orators TO win
oratorical contests. Therefore, re-
solve right now that you will begin
at once on that next Grafton Get
busy.
The Alumni of the college arc too
late TO enter contests themselves, but
they still have a part to do. There
is nothing like a permanent reward,
meaning as it does so much to the
winner, to increase interest in these
contests. Professor Adams and Dr.
Bruske have found a great deal of
sentiment favorable to endowing a

medals, six to debaters, one each to
the two orators entering the state con-
test A little done towards this end
means a great deal to the college.
Mr. Alumnus! Miss Alumna! are you
satisfied to hold back and see us work
out our way as best we can, or do you
want to help?
Spare a moment now TO let us know
what you are willing to do. Prof.
Adams, DR.. Bruske, or the Albanian
will be glad TO hear from you.

Whereas, 1t is universally ac-
cepted that mosquitoes are re-
sponsible for the transmissionsofI
malaria, yellow fever, filaria, and
probably other diseases. aside
from being a great source of an
noyance and discomfort; and
Whereas, The common house
fly is likewise recognized as the
chief factor in the spread of ty-
phoid fever, amoebic dysentery,

lature defining its duties in
guarding the people Of Florida
against disease, and in advising
measures calculated to promote
the health and life of the citizen
as well as to protect the materi-
al business interests of the state,
