Wagner spoke with fluency and finish, but too little action; Ewell, for Yale, was especially direct and convincing, but sometimes made a climax in delivery when there was none in thought; Fox was rather unnatural in his style of speaking; Lockwood made up in earnestness what he lacked in variety; Lyman spoke straight to his audience and was effective, though slightly lacking in breath; Grossman, combining ease with vigor and variety, was probably the best speaker of the evening...
