Menorah Prize Contest Cancelled

The Prize Essay contest of the Menorah Society this year has been definitely cancelled. This action comes as the result of the fact that the late Jacob H. Schiff, who until last year had made possible the presentation of a $100 prize to the winner of the contest, did not make any provision in his will for the continuation of the gift. Beginning with next year, however, the B'Nal B'rith Society of Boston will award $100 to the winner of the contest, which will again be included among the activities of the Menorah Society. Previously the prize has been given for the best essay by an undergraduate on a subject connected with the work and achievements of the Jewish people.
