Manuscripts for Boott Prize in Vocal Composition Due April 15

By the will of Francis Boott '31 a fund was left from the income of which an annual prize of one hundred dollars is to be given to the writer of the best composition in concerted vocal music in the University, provided one is submitted which in the opinion of the judges is deserving of a prize.

The composition must be (a) for four or more voices, with or without accompaniment; (b) of either a sacred or secular character, and if the latter, of the type shown in Mozart, Chimbini and similar masters in polyphonic music; (c) must be submitted by an undergraduate or a member of any graduate school. The title page of the manuscript must be signed with an assumed name. All the competitive compositions must be in the hands of the committee by April 15.
