Fess of Ohio will deliver the opening speech at the sixth Natijonal Oratorical Contest finals, in the Washington Auditorium, Saturday | night, 1t was announced today by Ran- | dolph Leigh, director general of the contest. Senator Fess, widely known as an orator himself, is particularly well suit- ed to the important position he will fill on the-finals program, since the con- tenders for the national championship are students and the Senator is an edu- cator and author. Educated at the Ohio Northern Uni- versity, where he took the degrees of | master of arts, bachelor of laws and doctor of laws, Senator Fess subse- quently became professor of American history at that institution, and later head of its College of Law. Following | his association with Ohio Northern Uni- | versity, he became president of Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio. Mr. Fess first entered Congress in 1913, when he became a member of the | House of Representatives. Senator Fess' writings deal particu- larly with historic subjects pertaining | to the development of the United States, making him an even more logical orator | for the National Oratorical Contest finals, in which the Constitution and | its development, history and interpreta- | tions will be discussed. Among his works are “Outline of American History.” “American Political Theory,” “Civics in Ohio” and “Problems of Neutrality.” Besides his career as an educator and his service in Congress, Senator Fess also was editor of World's Events from 1903 to 1806.
