Arthur Syvertson, who received his A. B. degree from the University of Southern California this spring, won second place in the National Inter-collegiate Oratorical Contest held in Bovard Auditorium last Thursday evening. This place carried a cash prize of $1,000.
The contest centered around some phase of the Constitution and Syvertson spoke on “The March of the Constitution.”
First prize of $1,500 was won be H. J. Oberholzer of North Carolina State College. Third place went to Hardy M. Ray of Northwestern, fourth to Clark Beach of Maryland, fifth to William A. Cusack of Dartmouth, sixth to David A. Moscovitz of Rutgers and seventh to Max N. Kroloff of Morningside College.
In order to get into the finals Syvertson had to win the Southern California contest in Los Angeles early this year and the Western States elimination contest in Eugene, Oregon, in May. Syvertson won the latter while on a debate tour of the Pacific Coast for the Southern California team.
Syvertson was winner this Spring of the Trojan Diamond Medal given each year to the senior who has demonstrated outstanding intellectual ability.
The Trojan speaker first came Into prominence in 1923 when he won the fiirst National high school oratorical contest. He entered Southern California in the fall of 1923 and for four years has been actively engaged in forensics throughout his four years. He was captain of the Trojan debate squad the past collegiate season.
Speaking on“The March of the Constitution” at the Intercollegiate contest last Thursday, Syvertson traced that document from its inception in 1787 to the present date.
