The subject for this year's William H. Baldwin Prize is "A Study of Practical Operation of Government in Some Large American City." This prize, of $100, is offered annually by the Municipal League for the best essay on a subject connected with municipal government. Competitors may select as their field of study any American city with a population of over 300,000. The competition, as in former years, is limited to undergraduates in American colleges which offer distinct instruction in municipal government. Essays must not exceed 10,000 words, and must be mailed or delivered to an express company not later than March 15, 1909, addressed to the "Chairman of the Committee of Judges, Care of the Secretary of the National Municipal League, North American Building, Philadelphia," and marked "William H. Baldwin Prize." Competitors will also sign an assumed name, and enclose in a separate sealed envelope their full name, address, college, and class.
