Today is the last day for receiving names of competitors for the Boylston Prizes for Elocution. These prizes are awarded to Seniors and Juniors in the College at a public competition to be held on May 10. The students speak not their own compositions but selections from English, Greek or Latin authors; the proportion in English is to be at least two out of three. The selections must be approved by the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, Dean Briggs.
The awards consist of two first prizes of $30 each and three second prizes of $20 each. The first prizes may be withheld if none of the competitors appear to deserve them.
