ADVOCATE STARTS 3 COMPETITIONS

Continuing in its precedent set last year, the Harvard Advocate announces three prize competitions for the best story, essay or sonnet submitted by any undergraduate of the University not a member of the Advocate Board. A prize of $25 is offered for the best story presented on or before December 1, 1920. Similar prizes will be given for the best essay and the best sonnet, which are due March 2 and June 1, 1921, respectively. The essay should be preferably on some undergraduate topic of current interest, while the sonnet may be on any subject except love. The full regulations governing the competition will be given in the November issue of the Advocate.

Last year Dean Briggs '75, Arthur Stanwood Pier '95, William Roscoe Thayer '81 and Irving Babbitt '89 were among the prominent men who assisted in judging the competitions. Though the arrangements have not been definitely completed, it is hoped to procure the services of these, together with those of other well-known literary men, as judges in the different branches of the present competition.
