Tarkio College has been a member of the Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Associaticn since I897. The Association is composed of the leading colleges of the State. At one time its membership was ten. At present there are only three colleges in the Association. During the current year the constitution has been revised and an effort will be made to in- crease the membership. The interest in oratory is such that a resolve was made not to give up the organization. I-Iereafter the membership is to be limited to members of the Missouri College Union. The contest this year was held at Fulton, Missouri, with Westminster College. The winner, Mr. E.. I-I. Zion, is from Park College, Parkville, Missouri. Mr. M. B. Cxihten was TarI4io's representative. The subject of his oration was The Protector of the Com- monwealth. It was perhaps the closest contest in Missouri for years. The three col- leges that were represented are on friendly terms, and the contest, as a result, was a very friendly one.
