Harold J. Rounds, of the Universi ty of Oregon, won a close second, thus taking the second prize of $25 offered by the same Association. It was probably the closest inter state oratorical contest ever held, and the judges were put to it to decide first place. Hoover secured the decis ion by only one point. The program opened with a piano solo, “Murmuring Zephyrs,” Niemann, by Mr. Raphael Geisler. Harold J. Rounds opened the con test with his oration entitled, “The Call to Public Service.” Mr. Rounds took up the subject by showing that, at pres ent, the main occupation of our nation is the pursuit of wealth. The history of America and the world has denoted a westward movement. The development of our great West has been in the main a material one, a search for wealth. The speaker further showed that abil ity to make money has become the standard by which a man is measured, and that this intense devotion to money making is fatal to the higher interests of the state. Gifted men go into the commercial life, instead of political, be cause of the superior advantages for money making. Mr. Rounds closed by giving a clear and forceful picture of the “square deal" man who is needed in America today. Following this Mr. Kenneth Frazer rendered, in a pleasing manner, Bul lard's “Sword of Ferrara.” Mr. Hoover, in his oration entitled, “America’s Opportunity,” compared the nations of the world to actors upon the stage. Each nation, to win a place in the world’s history, must do some one thing better than any other nation has a will to do it. I he greatest failure of the nations in the past has been their inability to cope with the problems of poverty. “The so lution of the problem,” said Mr. Hoo ver, “is America's Opportunity.” lie further indicated how America had disregarded this opportunity by plac ing no restrictions on immigration, and he pointed out how, as a result, the poor of America were suffering. Mr. Hoover ended -in a forceful way by showing that in America’s great struggle for self-preservation, her first (.Continued on last page.)
