Their addresses dealt respectively with the "American Standard," taken from a speech of Booker T. Washington '96, and a poem by Alfred Noyes, "The Highwayman."

Kramer '18 ocC., extracts from a speech of President Wilson on the League of Nations; E. B. Schwults '19, "The Monroe Doctrine." The judges...
