AWARD OF BOYLSTON PRIZES

At the final trials for the Boylston Prizes in elocution held in Sanders Theatre last evening the first two prizes were awarded to P. H. Noyes '06 and H. S. Deming '05, and the second prizes to W. H. Davis '05, L. Carroll '06 and W. Tyng '05.

Although the speaking was not up to the usual standard, it showed, in some cases, the result of careful training. Seven out of the twelve subjects dealt with American history or politics. They were interesting and varied, and were well received by the audience. The selections of the five prize-winners were as follows: P. H. Noyes, "Napoleon the Little," Victor Hugo; H. S. Deming, "The Subjugation of the Philippines," G. F. Hoar; W. H. Davis, "Oration on Garfield," J. G. Blaine; L. Carroll, "The Vision of War," R. G. Ingersoll; W. Tyng, "America's Mission," A. J. Beveridge.

The judges were Mr. T. N. Perkins '91, chairman, Mr. Bliss Perry, Hon. C. S. Hamlin '83, Dr. R. B. Merriman '96, Professor G. F. Moore, Professor E. H. Warren '95, Professor T. A. Jaggar, Jr., '93, and Professor D. L. Maulsby h.'98, of Tufts College. R. H. Oveson '05 introduced the speakers.
