Excerpt from Of the Inter-State Oratorical Contests, and Biographies of Contestants
It remained for the Adelphi Society, of Knox College Galesburg, Illinois, to crown all former efforts in conceiving another outlet for this restless and impetuous spirit of rivalry, by testing intellectual merit through the eloquence of oratory; and to this society should be given the honor of our present Inter - State Oratorical Association.

Excerpt from Of the Inter-State Oratorical Contests, and Biographies of Contestants
After much delay and long continuous labor I take great pleasure in now presenting this Souvenir of the Inter-State Oratorical Association to the public. The work deserves much favor. It is worthy to be studied for its history, its philosophy, and its precepts. The orations are the exquisite productions of the best minds in college circles delivered annually in contest before the association. So, to the young orator whose victory in the arena of debate has contributed to the world such specimens of learning and eloquence, to say nothing of its marvelous influence, retribute your grateful admiration. In this work I have introduced the successful orators - one after another according as they took their respective positions in the succeeding reign - with brief biographical sketches and excellent engraved likenesses, which increase the interest and value of the book. The chapters on "Oratory and Orators," and "Plagiarism," written in a brilliant manner by prominent educators of the day, are highly appropriate and instructive, and merit the popular praise of the public as well as the student. Accordingly from the desire to meet the frequent applications made for these prize orations became the purpose of compiling this volume, which I kindly dedicate to the orators and their relatives and friends.
