r HON. W. J, BRYAN, ('laas Day Orator. The senior class is fortunate indeed in securing Hon. William J. Rryan for class orator. It is hardly necessary to mention the prominence of Mr. Bryan as his political campaigns, battles and ideals have won him a place in the hearts of the people and recorded his name as one of America's most illustrious statesmen. Mr. Bryan, the politician, is especially known for his purity of character. He Stands as an example of the fact that a man can enter politics and still retain his purity and greatness of character, t he most deadly iiolitical opponents of Mr.' Bryan admire him as a man and be- lieve in his honesty and sterling worth. When Mr. Bryan was stumping the state in the recent gubernatorial campaign he visited Peru and de- livered an educational address which demonstrated him to be a great edu- cator and a deep thinker in educational as well as political lines. It is said that graduation day is a sad one for the graduate out the class orator and class oration will recompense the class of 07 in no slight degree for the sad thought of leaving our Alma Mater.
