s The Woodford prize in oratory, the
most sought of senior honors at Cor
nell university, was won this year by
a southern student, Alfred Huger, of
South Carolina. His- subject was
'Southward, Hoi" He told of the reso

reared a great industrial and commer
cial kingdom out of the ruins of 'war,
and portrayed the great resources and
possibilities here awaitinir the touch
of industry and capital, in conclud
ing his remarks, be said: ,
"What the south most needs today
is repose from political and social
agitation, opportunity to develop, and
the generous help of the men of the
north. With her wonderful resources,
with the increase of coal, iron and
steel industries and the growth of cot
ton manufacturing, with the opening
of the Panama canal, which will bring
her into direct commercial intercourse
with the great countries that are call
ing for her exports, with her proxim
ity to Cuba and Puerto Rico and the
republics at the south, the Industrial
progress of this favored land seems
limited only by the bounds of civiliza
tion itself.
"To you, my' countrymen of the
north, who fret and worry about your
future in the overcrowded cities of the
east, I say go into this land of sun
shine and nowers, with an its oeauty
and richness and .latent possibilities.
There appreciation awaits you, success
wiu beckon you on and your reward
for earnest endeavor will be as great
as the land itself." ! Go into the south
land for industrial victory! Let the
motto of the immigrant and of the cap

grander fame can you expect than to
have ' a part in the building of this
empire of the south." -'"i
