The first annual law oratorical con
test of the University of Nebraska was
held In the chapel last Saturday even
ing. A fair sized audience was pres
ent. Judge Lincoln Frost of the class
of '86 University of Nebraska presided
at this contest. The judges were
Messrs. Tibbets, Hall, Field, Tuttle,
and Shepherd.
There were nine students of the law
college who participated In the con
test, and the markings of the judges
were very close. All tile speakers were
on their metal and the contest was
pronounced by many, as tho best thing
of this kind that ever took place at
tho university.
There were three prizes offered by
tho attorneys of Lincoln. One of $25,
another of $20 and a third prize of ?15.
E. H. Smith was awarded the first
prize, C. C. Crouch second, and F. G.
Hawkxby third. Abbott, Meier, and
Backus tied for fourth placo and Trap
hagen was ranked eighth while Olston
was marked last by all five judges.
The law students take great pride in
their oratorical association. It was
organized on account of the action
taken by tho delegates of tho state as
sociation last spring. The law stu
dents were barred from participating
in the state contest, but now they have
organized an oratorical league among
the state law college of the west, and
annual contests will bo held between
tho law colleges of Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota, Kansas, and Missouri.
New officers will bo elected next Sat
urday for tho local association. The
old officers aro O. W. Meier, president;
N. C. Abbott, vice-president, and C. O.
French, secretary-treasurer. They say
tho contest was a success this year and
they look forward to greater work
along these lines in the law college.
Tho chapel was beautifully decorated
last Saturday evening for tho occasion.
Tho platform was lined with plants
and flowers, and tho walls and gallery
were draped with flags and university
colors. Scarlet and cream as well as
tho law college colors of royal purple,
silver, and gold wore streaming from
the balcony above tho stage.
The law college Is beginning to bo
regarded in tho university as one of
tho stronger dopartmonts.
