PAPERS FOR COMMENCEMENT
Candidates for Degree With Distinction Invited to Compete.
A recent announcement from Dean Briggs invites every candidate for a degree with distinction in Harvard College or for a degree in any graduate department of the University to write a paper suitable for delivery at Commencement. The writing of such a paper, being entirely optional, will not take the place of any work required for a degree.
Every writer will select his own subject, and will treat it in his own way. No paper offered by a candidate for the degree of A.B. or of S.B. should require more than ten minutes, and no paper offered by a candidate for a higher degree should require more than fifteen minutes for delivery.
Papers may be left at University 10 on or before May 1. From among those presented, several--if of sufficient excellence--will be selected for delivery.
