Esperanto Prize Competition

At a meeting of the executive committee of the Esperanto Club yesterday, it was decided that the competition for the Ostwald prizes in Esperanto will be held at a regular meeting of the club on Tuesday afternoon, May 15, in the Shepard Room of Phillips Brooks House.

Two prizes, each to consist of an Esperanto dictionary and Esperanto literature to the value of $5, will be given for the best essay and speech in Esperanto. Essays must be at least 750 words long and may be either an original composition or a translation from some standard work. They must be handed in to A. B. Kuttner '08, Weld 13, the secretary of the club, on or before 5 o'clock on Saturday, May 12.

All men, who wish to try for the speaking prize, must hand in their names and the subjects for their speeches before May 12. Speeches may be made on any subject and must occupy a period of at least five minutes. They will be delivered at the meeting on May 15, when the winner of the essay prize will be announced.

The competition for both prizes will be open to all members of the University. The judges will be Dr. H. W. Morse, president of the club, J. F. Twombly '94, secretary of the National Esperanto Society, and E. K. Harvey, instructor in Esperanto at the Perkins Institution for the Blind.
