EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:-The CRIMSON mistakes me when it makes me say that more attention is given to oratory in eastern than in western colleges; what I did say was just the opposite. Moreover competent observers, such as graduates of the Boston School of Oratory and college presidents, say, that on account of this Association, western colleges turn out better speakers than do eastern. I say nothing against the excellent instruction provided for us at Harvard; nor would the formation of an Oratorical Association imply that it was deficient, it would rather be a valuable coadjutant. So, with all deference to the fully competent and exceptional instruction provided for the students of Harvard, it would seem advisable to incorporate an acknowled advantage of her humbler sisters.
