After their graduation Messers. Clement Chase and Daniel H. Wheeler, Jr., of Omaha, believing that a contest in oratory could bring only good results, offered a prize of ten dollars for the best oration, to which was added a second prize of five dollars by the society. This was the first contest of the kind in the University, and the results have been very gratifying both to the society and to the authors and patrons of the movement.
