Close and Interesting Contest Expected
Four Contestants

The annual mems Oratorical Con-
test, at which the intercollegiate ora
tor is chosen, will be held in the col
lege chapel on the evening of January
1912. Although the number of con-
testants is small, they have all had
experience, and contest of more
than ordinary interest is expected. In
fact, there is every reason to believe
that it will equal that of last year,
which was reported to be one of the
best in the history of the college.
Some time this week the judges will
be requested to serve, and on the day
after we return from the Christmas
vacation the manuscripts will be
placed in their hands.
So far as we are able to learn, there
will be but four contestants, three
from Phi Phi Alpha and one from
Zeta Sigma. Claude Satterlee, '13,
who expects to speak on "The Cosmic
Harmony" took part in the Chicago
Medal contest last spring. Joseph
