At the final trial in the competition for the Boylston prizes for Elocution, the two first prizes were awarded to John R. Locke '01 and Henry J. Davenport '00. Locke recited "My Lord Carnal and I Play at Bowls," by Mary Johnston, rendering the selection with deliberation and force. "Cyrano's Theory of Life," as set forth in E. Rostand's "Cyrano's de Bergerac," was declaimed skillfully and vivaciously by Davenport. The winners of the second prizes were W. Morse '00, who recited "Soldier's Field Oration," by Henry Lee Higginson; H. A. Yeomans '00, who delivered "Napoleon the Little," by Victor Hugo; and H. W. Palmer, who declaimed "Partridge at the Play," by Henry Fielding.
W. A. M. Burden '00 presided and introduced the contestants. The judges were: Rev. E. H. Hall, Richard H. Dana, Professor Arlo Bates, Arthur A. Cary, Dean Briggs, Professor Haskins of Wisconsin University, Lewis D. Brandeis, J. J. Storrow, and J. J. Myere.
