State Oratorical Association Will Meet Here This Week
SOUTHWESTERN
Southwestern will l>e host this week
to probably ten colleges throughout the
State when the State Oratorical Asso-
ciation meets here for the annual con-
test. Only once in eleven years does
.Southwestern have the opportunity to
entertain, and on this occasion every
resource of the school should be called
forth to make it a memorable one. Not
only vvil students do the right thing,
the thing of courtesy, by attending the
contest Friday night, but it will be
their privilege during (In* two days to
extend every courtesy to the visiting
emissaries. The orations which will be
presented will cover a wide variety of
subjects, and you will not make a mis-
take if you decide to hear them.
To Dean Ullrich are due the congrat-
ulations of the week. For his able work
as Dean of Southwestern and for his
work in educational research he has
been honored bv being included in the
forthcoming edition of “Who’s Who in
America.” The Megaphone therefore
extends for his friends in the student
body the congrat lations due. Also tl^
college is to be .ngratulated in having
another of its faculty thus recognized.
Elsewhere in this issue is an appraisal
of the work of Paul Quillian on this
campus. It would not be amiss, how-
ever, to state in this column (which is
designed to express in more intimate
and les formal terms comments on pure-
ly Southwestern events) that Southwes-
tern appreciates his stay and hopes
that it will not bo his last.

The Seniors will attempt their long
belated picnic this week, the gods of
the storm being propitious. Old J. P.
owes a big debt to the Senior class, and
its members are praying that he will
pay off this week with plenty of sun-
shine and warm weather. This picnic
is always a memorable event to the
Seniors, and, although posoponed a long
while, will be so to the present class.

This is a signal honor for the Dean,

the Methodist church Sundav
when he made the most eloquent appeal
for a higher life on the part of students

of the service Sunday was the definite
stand for leading a new life taken by
possibly fifty or more students.
The services of Paul Quillian, which
began last Monday night, have been
heavily attended by both students and
townspeople, and the consensus of opin-lnf

Dr. Ullrich’s recognition came as a re I eloquence, ho never for one moment left
the impression that he had a negative
gospel. Me was successful in mingling
the intellectual with the emotional ap-
peal in such a manner as to leave his
hearers convinced of the truth of the
message.
His power as an orator was only ex-
celled by his own magnetic personality,
and by the fire of his message. When
his clear, rich voice rang out in his ap-
peal for the upward road, he gripped the
minds of his audience and made them
listen.
No less influential than his sermons
were his personal conferences with stu-
dents which he conducted morning and
afternoon in an office provided for him
in the Main Building.
Mr. Quillian left her Sunday night at
12:45 to return to his pastorate in Little

“Life is the most fascinating game I
know." It is the statement of Kev.
Paul Quillian. “The joy in living comes
from helping and loving others.”
The ministry, he says, is nothing fnore
or less than dealing with people. “I en-
is brought on by a wilingness to take
surface appearances as being true facts
without proliing beneath the surface for
unchanging veritins.”

The Alpha Beta Chapter of Sigma
Tan Delta had the especial honor last
\yodnesday afternoon of presenting Mr.
and Mrs. Norman H. Crowell in recital.
Mrs. Crowell read principally from
her new volume, “Silver in the Sun,”
although she pleased the audience by
reading some of ber more recent poems,
among them “A Girl in April” and
“Kites.”
One is especially impressed by the
ability of Mrs. Crowell to see beauty in
the coinonplace and “transform the ev-
eryday and the familiar into new and
shining things.” She finds something
inspiring in such simple prosaic things
as “Bread.” “Apron,” "Linen,” and
“Red Chimneys.”
Nancy Peam, of the Curtis Browne,
Ltd., London, says, "Therein no Ameri-
can poet who goes so well on this side
as (trace Noll Crowell.” Ililton If.
Greer pronounces her works free from
mechanical devices. W. F. Bigelow of

work than Mrs. ('Iiowcll not only beau

Only once in eleven vears does South-
western University have the opportuni-
ty of entertaining the State Oratorical
Association — ami that opportunity
comes Thursday and Friday of this
week.
Eleven I’exas colleges, members of
the Association, are scheduled to havo
representatives here, and they will be
carried through the two day session be-
ginning' with the annual banquet Thurs-
day night, and climaxing in the annual
oratorical contest Friday night. To
this last the public and the students
a re giv en a cordiaI in v i t a tion.
Arrangements for the annual meeting
here are under the direction of R. B.
Hall, president of the Association, and
president of the local chapter of l’i
Kappa Delta. Working in cooperation
with Mr. W. Dwight Wentz, sponsor of
Bi Kappa Delta here, and Manning
Clements, recording secretary of the
Association, Hall is about to complete
arrangements for the two days eventful
program. An extensive series of en-
tertainments for the visitors from oth-
er colleges is being planned so as to
make their sojourn on Southwestern’s
campus the most pleasant possible. The
cooperation and assistance of the entire
student body is requested to the end
of making this one of the most success-
ful conventions in the history of the
Assoc in I ion.
The contest last year was held at
Southern Methodist University, when
Trinity University took first honors. Joe
Brown Love, representing Southwestern,
won place last year with his oration,
“ Heroes of the Future.” The meeting
goes to Howard l’ayne College next
year.
Southwestern has two men trying out
for the right of representing this col-
lege in the contest Friday night. The
question of which of the two will win
this right will be decided tomorrow at
a try-out.
