Critic's Report, 06 October 1893 · Item · 06 October 1893
Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

A partially fragmented critic's report by one Milton R. Eastlack. Though sections of both pages are lost, the message is mostly comprehensible. Eastlack discusses the Society's new meeting room, corrects the orators' grammatical and rhetorical errors, and offers commentary on the students' behavior. Transcription attached.

Eastlack, Milton R., ca. 1870-

A very brief report, notable for its passing mention of the "Hawaian question"--whether the United States should annex the Republic of Hawaii, which had acted as an effective U.S. client state since overthrowing the indigenous monarchy in 1893 (Hawaii would be annexed as a territory in 1898). Transcription included.

Spilsbury, Raymond G. (Raymond Gybbon), 1880-1958

Though this report is very brief, it implies that James S. Messler was elected Thencanic President for the Fall 1900 semester. It also offers another mention of "Brittons," probably a local apothecary that may have had a soda fountain. Transcription included.

Taylor, Albert A. (Albert Augustus), 1881-1931
