Prizes for Engineering Theses.

The Engineering News Publishing Co. has just made its third annual offer of the following prizes for the best graduating theses presented by students from any engineering course of any college in the United States or Canada: First prize, $75; second prize, $50; third prize, $25. For such other theses as seem to the judges to deserve such recognition, honorable mention, accompanied in each case by a two years' paid subscription to the Engineering News, will be given. This competition is of course only open to men in graduating classes.

In addition to the above prizes, the same company offers a prize of $100 for the best thesis submitted in 1894 by a post graduate student of any engineering school of the United States or Canada. This is provided, however, that should any thesis or theses submitted by graduating students appear to the judges to be of superior merit to the best post graduate thesis, then the prize of $100 shall be awarded to the graduate's thesis, and the post graduate thesis will be given a prize according to its relative rank.

The conditions of competition, though substantially the same as published in the CRIMSON of Jan. 11, 1893, may be learned in detail at the Lawrence Scientific School.
