CHIGAN HAS PHENOMENAL
YE AR ON FORENSIC PLATFORM


EXTRA

SPECIA

ichigan's triumphs on the foren-
platform this year have even out-
ie her successes on the diamond,
ers, and the gridiron. Never be-
have the Maize and Blue orators
debaters achieved such records
iave been brought to their alma
er this year.
ny review of the past year in ora-
cal fields would of necessity start
i the exploits of the Blanchard
s, Paul B. and Percival V., both
or literary students, who have
'esented Michigan for the past two
's with exceptional success.
he greatest triumph of the year
the winning of the National Peace
:orical contest at Lake Mohonk by
I Blanshard. There were three
petitors in this contest, each se-
ed from a long series of prelim-
y contests, including, at the start,
e sixteen states and 100 colleges.
interstate contest at Goshen, In-
a, and the state contest at Ypsi-
I were both easily won, while the
ersity contest was decided in fa-
of Blanshard by a unanimous de-
n, the first ever rendered in this
est.
ie University of Michigan has now
the nationalPeace contest twice,
had men in the final contest three
s out of six times in which she has
peted.' The state of Michigan has
the'contest three times out of six

times in which it has been represent-
ed. This record of Michigan is un-
approached by any other institution or
commonwealth.
The other principal oratorical con-
test of the year, the University con-
test, was won by Percival Blanshard,
who won the national Peace contest
last year. He won this year's compe-
tition out of a field of 23 contestants,
and therefore represented Michigan in
the Northern Oratorical League con-
test at Oberlin, Ohio, in May. For the
first time a Blanshard failed to take
first place, the judges awarding the
Michigan man third, although the
coaches of the other men and the audi-
ence evidently looked for a different
verdict.
Louis L. David, '14L, won the uni-
versity preliminary for the Hamilton
Oratorical contest, which was re-es-
tablished at Chicago this year. He
represented Michigan there, taking
second place, in a field of six com-
petitors.
Both varsity debating teams won
their events this season in the Cen-
tral Debating League. The affirma-
tive team, which defeated Chicago
here in January, was made up of Ly-
man S. Hulburt, '14L, Bartel J. Jonk-
man, '14L, and Paul Blanshard, '14.
The negative team, which humbled
Northwestern at Evanston, was com-
posed of Sol S. Blumrosen, '13L, John


S. McElroy, '13L, and F. W. Moore, of
the graduate school.
The oratorical association, which ab-
sorbed the defunct S. L. A. this year,
presented a lecture course during
which such speakers as Governors
Hadley, Shafroth, and Ferris, Hon. E.
W. Mead, Marie Ware Laughton and
Katherine McCoy were brought to Ann
Arbor. As a part of the course, the
association gave Goldoni's "The Fan,"
as its annual thespian production; and
the Adelphi literary society won the
annual cup debate from the Jefferson-
ians.
