Lincoln’s Address
One Of 10 Greatest
By*E3TELLE BOND
Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 12—(UP)
—The little speech which Abraham
Lincoln scribbled on a scrap of
paper on the train to Gettysburg
was ranked by a Harvard professor
today among the 10 greatest ora
tions of all history.
Frederick C. Packard Jr., asso
ciate professor of public speaking,
told the United Press in a Lincoln
birthday interview that the famous
address beginning, "four score and
seven years ago. . .” ranked some?
where between fifth and 10th on his
list.
The professor's first for nomina
tions were:
1. Demosthenes' speech on the

The next six on the list are of
such comparable value that they
can be taken in any order, Prof.
Packard said.
They arc:
Lincoln's Gettysburg address,
which Packard described as ’’the
shortest statement of the principle
of American democracy — ideally
suited to the occasion on which it
was spoken.”
Patrick Henry on American li
berty (1775).
Richard Brinsley Sheridan on
the Impeachment of Warren Hast
ings (1788).
William Pitt the edler on the
right of taxing America (1776).
Charles J. Pox on the rejection
of Bonaparte’s overtures of peace
(1800).
Henry Clay on the preservation
of the union (1850).
Asserting that crises produce
great speeches, Parkard added:
”1 shouldn’t be surprised If pos
terity awards the palm to Winston
Churchill as one of the greatest
speakers of the present cricis.”
It should be remembered, Packard
said, that no speech is greater than
the man who utters It.
Nothing that "no women have
come forward as great orators," he
said he wondered what posterity
would say about Madame Chlang
Kai shek. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
and Dorothy Thompson.

“They then entered the town at
two other points, each time drawing
fire. By this enemy action then
outpost positions were located, anc
further the patrol concluded that
the town was held by a small enemy
force. Four hours later the patro

^Xbrahum Lincoln's Gettysburg address
might well have been written for America
today . . . and for American soldiers now
fighting and dying to keep freedom alive.
Lincoln said of his soldier dead.. .“that we
here highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain." That goal, stated so many
years ago, is the goal we now must set our
selves constantly to remember when, the
fighting over, our war torn world must be
reconstructed so that the peace will be a
lasting one...so that the freedom Amer
icans died for shall not be attacked again.
