LAMPY ANNOUNCES $1500 SCHOLARSHIP

Lampy played the jovial host last evening to graduates, honorary members, all the deans from University Hall, President Lowell, and many more. The Graduates' Dinner, with its distinguished guests, is the Lampoon's most festive of occasions.

Heywood Broun, ex'14, Dean Briggs, and J. T. Wheelwright '76 were among the speakers and E. S. Martin '77 and James Montgomery Flagg were among the prominent guests.

In the Lampoon special supplement for the Graduates Dinner announcement is made of a $1500 Foreign Scholarship to be awarded to the Senior editor with the most deserving artistic or literary merit to be used by him for residence abroad to improve his art. The principle object of this proposal-now an actuality--is to induce the editors to cooperate with each other constantly so that the paper will be contributed to more by editors than by those seeking to be editors. The selection will be made by a Graduate Committee from a list of names proposed by the Undergraduate Board of Editors, together with samples of each man's work.

Wheelright Comments On Prize

Commenting to a CRIMSON reporter on the scholarship, Mr. J. T. Wheelwright '76, a member of the original Lampoon Board, said, "It isn't a scholarship: it's a prize to make the standard of the paper increase. 'Life' cannot afford to run itself on contributions pushed in under the door, and neither can Lampy.

"Eight college generations have passed since the first number was published. Forty-eight years ago tonight we were preparing the February 1, 1876 issue, the first comic paper in America. In those days we never had any rivalry with the Magenta till it became the 'Crime.'
