Uhr ttbratnrg Qltnh In the beginning, the Oratory Club of Highland Park College was organized to enrich the social life of' the students, and to broaden the field ot' literary activity. Today the number and influence ol' the Oratory Club has reached a Periclian height. The enrollment has increased six-fold. Highly in- teresting and entertaining social functions have been presented every fortnight. Indeed, we came, we saw, and we conquered. And to our Caesar, Dean Robert Hall Atchison, great credit is due, for his untiring effort and original, constructive methods. Walter Williams,
