The celebration of the 101st anniversary of Wake Forest College centered
entirely around the Philomathesian and Euzelian Literary societies,
Activities of the day consisted of a debate, and four orations by members
of the two societies, The Euzelian debate team composed of George Copple
and H. A. Matthews, bowed in defeat to the victorious Philomathesian
team composed of Alfred Martin and Carl Ousley, George
Griffin, President, and J. D. Blythe, Secretary, looked on from their
high positions while the debaters, running true to form, displayed one
of the most spectacular forensic battles of recent history.
Following the debate orators of renown and prestige flew high the colors
of their respective societies by delivering in faultless style orations
that could be classed among the best J. Glenn Blackburn, a veteran Philomathesian,
Millard Brown, Past President of the Euzelian Society, Howard Williams,
Past President of the Philomathesian Society, and Charles U. Harris,
several times a representative of his Society, proved themselves worthy
of the honor thrust upon them. The four orators were wearing the oratorical
colors of their societies for their last time, crowning well their labors
in the societies.
