SUBJECT FOR LLOYD McKIM GARRISON PRIZE ANNOUNCED

To Be Awarded for Poem Suggested by "National Defense."--Manuscripts Due April 1.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor G. P. Baker '87, chairman of the Committee on the Garrison Prize has made the following announcement:

The Lloyd McKim Garrison Prize, consisting of $100 and a silver medal, for "the best poem on a subject or subjects annually to be chosen and announced by a Committee of the Department of English," will this year be given for a poem suggested by the subject, National Defense. A competitor may interpret this subject as he pleases, for it is not intended to mean only defense of the United States. He is expected to choose his own title under the general topic. Each poem should not exceed 50 lines, should bear an assumed name, and should be accompanied by a sealed letter containing the true name of the writer and superscribed with the assumed name.

The prize is open only to undergraduates of Harvard College and all manuscripts should be left at University 20 by 5 o'clock on April 1, 1916.
