English 10, "Public Speaking," is intended for students somewhat advanced in platform speaking, although an elementary section has been added to the course to suit the needs of inexperienced men. The work consists in the study and rendering of model public addresses, and in the delivery of the students' original compositions. Each member of the course delivers a formal speech once in two weeks and more frequently opportunity for impromptu speaking is given. Brief written exercises are required from time to time, and conferences may be appointed by the instructor. The course may be taken in the Sophomore year...
...assigned for the purpose the second floor of the west wing and the annex of the Lawrence Scientific School, the latter being at present used as an engineering laboratory.

At this juncture a ship is sighted in the offing. It proves to be that of Bjarne, who is returning from a voyage to the North American coast...
Leif asks aid of Minna, the prophetess, that he may gain the Jarl's consent to his suit. Accordingly Minna tells Magnus that his daughter must marry Leif. Magnus does not dare to thwart the decree of the prophetness and accepts Leif as Sylvia's lover. The Jarl then buys Bjarne's ship and the act closes as Leif sets sail across the Atlantic.
