The Franklin College weekly of March 15 1916 criticizes the school's oratorical effort noting Franklin ranks last in state contests due to apathy and limited participation. It urges universal student support and preparation to raise public speaking to the college's high academic and athletic standing. The piece is signed by T McD 19.
Founders Day prompts strong turnout with no urging needed for upperclassmen to attend next Friday night. Freshmen this year are likewise already inclined to participate in future Founders Day events.
The speech emphasizes real enjoyment and urges sacrifice to attend the year’s celebration in honor of Dean and Mrs. Crowell. It frames the event as student body driven and essential to a complete college life, urging everyone to participate.
Alumni notes mention Rev. F Kenney and Rev J W Kinnett moving between states, Martin Bristow Smith as a new Franklin student arriving February 8 in Owatonna Minnesota, and Edward Middleton visiting Franklin with his wife. Other items note health concerns of Dr George Middleton, Dr B Wallace returning home, and Rev J W Graves taking an alumni day role. Ohio State Lantern reports Fred Sendlinger visiting Shelbyville friends.
