Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 10. September 14, 1959

Oratory Weak

Oratory Weak

"An oration must be more than just a good public speech," said Mr. J. S. D. More, one of the contest's three judges. "The orator must move his audience so that they wish to practise what he has preached or held up for their admiration."

"Within this definition there was only one orator in the contest" and that was Mr. K. Melvin, Auckland's No. 1 speaker. Mr. Melvin chose Lord Rutherford of Nelson and spoke with quiet persuasiveness and confidence on this famous New Zealander.

Mr. B. Gufstafson, also of Auckland, was placed second and Miss Merle Boyle of Victoria third.
