Establishing an annual Royal College Oration is a compelling idea to foster critical thought and public speaking among alumni and students, mirroring the tradition set by the Ananda College Old Boys’ Association through the Olcott Oration.

The Olcott Oration Model

  • Inaugurated: 1968 to honor founder Colonel Henry Steel Olcott.
  • Format: Features a distinguished alumnus speaking on a prominent contemporary or national theme.
  • Venue: Held annually at the Kularatne Auditorium.

Potential for Royal College

  • Platform: Could showcase prominent Royalists across diverse global industries.
  • Engagement: Bridges generations of young and old boys in intellectual discourse
  • Instituting a formalized, public ‘Royal College Oration’ could serve as a powerful catalyst to unite generations of Royalists under a unified theme of progressive thought and national leadership.
