The Edward Everett Oratory Contest

The Edward Everett Prize in Oratory encourages and fosters the spoken word, but at Hillsdale, the students have taken oratory upon themselves. In class, on the debate team, in student organizations, and even in private debates, Hillsdale College students hone the important craft of discourse. The Edward Everett Prize in Oratory is a significant step in encouraging our students to be tomorrow’s great orators whose public words will once again inspire Americans to reflect thoughtfully and carefully on reasoned, rational debate.
