At Tuesday’s chapel exercises, Professor Solberg gave a most inter esting talk, descriptive of the Niagara Falls. Prof. Solberg has twice visited the Niagara Fails ami vicinity during the past years, attending the meetings of the society for the promotion of engineering education, and was thus admitted to all of the great electrical plants and manufacturing establish ments, many cf which are not open to the general traveling public. The professor presented large drawings showing the Niagara river, the Horse Shoe Falls and the American Falls, the Welland canal, the large suspension bridge and various electrical power plant mechanisims. He discussed at length the enormous power of the falls, stating that its total mechanical power is about seven million horse power per minute, or about twice that used in the United States at present time. Because of the great difficulties —the great expense of harnessing this power, and the inability to transmit power to any great distance —it is only within recent years that through the solving of these difficulties haj much of this power been utilized. Approxi- mately 750,000 horse power is now uti lized. some of the largest factories and power plants in the world being lo cated there. The first annual freshman oratorical contest was held last Saturday eve ning in the college chapel, before a good sized audience. The honors fell to Perry Clifford and Floyd Brookens in the order named. The contestants with their respective orations as they appeared on the program are as fol lows: “The Man Without A Country,” by Perry Clifford; “The Leader of a Lost Cause,” by L. V. Ausman; “A Crisis in American History,” by C. E. Hoffstetter; “A Live Issue,” by' Fay’ Valentine; "The Heroes in Obscurity,” by Floyd Brookens. The orations were all of high order and promises well for collegiate oratory here in the next two or three years when these beginning orators will be upper class men. While but two Were mentioned on the honor role, It is but fair to say that every contestant made a splendid effort. The judges on delivery were Professor Starring, Dr. Brigham and Professor Dunbar. The college orches tra and glee club furnished very en ertaining music for the occasion Much credit for the success of the contest is due Dr. Rodeheaver, who has spent much time In drilling the orators uring the past three months. At the regular meeting of the Forum Monday night of last week. Professor Harding presented a v*ry interesting paper on “Church Unity.” The present competition between sects and the dis sipation of effort and funds through the rivalry of denominations were noted. Various methods of uniting and co-ordinating the work of different branches of Christlanty were then dis cussed. The annual home oratorical contest will be held next Tuesday morning at ten o’clock in the college chapel hall. The folowing men will enter the con test: Cecil Starring, Fred Datchler, R. Hathaway, Lome Earl, Perry Cliff ord and Floyd Brookens. The ora tions will be judged on thought and composition by three out-of-town judg es.
