Again tlirougli its columns, The Owl. wishes to lay stress upon the lasting good that can he derived from inter col legiate oratorical contests. No engage ment is so improving, not only in mental directions, hut also in developing sleep ing oratory. To a great extent, oratory has been laid aside for the achievements of the pen, and the only way to resurrect this, the rarest and most powerful talent of the human soul, is to give it practical training. Surely all orators are not sleeping un der the sod. There are thousands of college boys possessing hidden oratorical powers, w ho lack only practical training to shake the sides of a continent with their thundering toilet of eloquence. What method productive of more good, by which this most beautiful and •mil-touching factor of mankind can he conceived of than by pitting the orator ical talents of two schools against each other? The inter collegiate contest re sults in good not only to those engaged, but to the colleges wliieli they represent. How much higher would our colleges rise in the estimation of the inople, and especially how much more widely known would they become if only they would Indulge in frequent oratorical contests. Then, too, a friendship and a brotherly feeling would he created among the col leges by such steps. Kku a.m» III.At k wishes to almost plead with the lovers of oratory, and to all interested in the welfare of the Uni versify to take immediate steps in this direction For the above, we are indebted to the “Owl.” It so fully expresses the idea of the Rfi» am* Bi.a« k in reference to a State oratorical contest, we commend it to the readers of the R|:n AMI III A« K. —— The article on Co-edwcation was taken bodily from “College Topics,*’ changed to make it more local. It is a fact known to us all that during i the first term as well as this, some author. n f our hoys have thoughtlessly acted in such a manner, to say the least of. was not in keeping with the dignity which ! should characterize every University stu dent. This the body of students de plore, yet it has its effect as to the repu- j tation our college makes. It goes out j that such things as this are tolerated and ! approved by the students. Gentlemen of the University, arise and assert your selves. Let us denounce such miscon duct in no unmistakable terms. While a great reform is going on in all the col leges, let us not be idle, but up and do ing. Just how to bring this work about none of us seem to know. Would it noj he a good plan to begin this work in our fraternities ? Where in college life is so much influence thrown over a boy as in his fraternity ? The opportunities for moral influences offered by the chapter are great. Much has been said in regard to the faculty opposing fraternities. How can we wonder at such, when the fraterni ties offer no assistance In forming the morals of the students ? The college fraternity has a glorious mission.yet we should not mistake it. In a great many colleges the faculty recognize in the fraternities Indispensa-1 ble help. It should In* so at the ITniver- . sity of Georgia. The idea has been sug- I gested that this reform Ik* brought Ulrnut in the fraternities, because as a rule the | boys who do most of the devilment, he ' I it said to the honor of the non-fraternity J men, are fraternity men.
